Chapter 230 Public Opinion Control

"Wen Yan, you go follow up on the situation at the factory, and I'll handle the PR."

"Okay, rest when you're tired. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, be sure to tell me."

Ji Wan gave him a reassuring smile, then turned and walked towards the public relations department.

People in the company had seen Ji Wan and knew that she was Mr. Gu’s girlfriend. They looked puzzled when they saw her coming.

"Miss Ji?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to cause trouble. Let's get through this first and get the planning department to help."

The head of the public relations department hesitated for a while, went to the coordination department for assistance, and came back after a while.

"Everything has been coordinated."

Ji Wan had just sent a message to Ji Lin on his phone and nodded and cleared his throat.

"First, we need to find out the source of those photos. This is the key. Then we have technicians carefully check whether there are any signs of Photoshop in these photos. This step must be meticulous and no details can be overlooked."

The head of the PR department nodded, indicating that he understood, and couldn't help but glance at Ji Wan.

I originally thought that Mr. Gu’s girlfriend was just a pretty face, but I didn’t expect she was actually quite capable.

"Of course, after we confirm it's photoshopped, we'll have some photo-editing experts come out to refute it. If we just verify it ourselves, people will inevitably accuse us of forgery. Why not have some well-known influencers come out to refute the rumors..."

Ji Wan arranged the tasks in a clear and organized manner, and the originally messy work gradually became clear.

"Thank you for your hard work here. Aren't there many partners who want to withdraw their investment? I'll contact them."

"Okay, Miss Ji, I'll ask someone to assist you because you've worked so hard."

Ji Wan was in charge of customer liaison, and these partners were just watching from the sidelines, trying to see if they could get a low-price cooperation.

We must not loosen up if we can. Otherwise, once the gap is opened, the prices will only keep falling.

Everything is going on in full swing here, and netizens online are like wild rats eating melons.

Chi Wenyan's environmental protection projects abroad are very famous. Many graduate students are trying their best to get involved. The work benefits are good, and the products are of good quality and low price.

Now that it has suddenly been revealed that there are problems with domestic factories, it is naturally like a bombshell.

The public relations department was quick enough. After the technical staff verified that the photos were fake, they directly released the news on the official website and sent a lawyer's letter to warn the rumormongers.

"It's this thing again. We weren't raised to be scared. How can you really think you can cover your mouth just because you have the capital?"

"That's right. It looks like a big company, but it's actually making a lot of money."

“You can’t imagine the bottom line of capitalists.”

Several black-clad men held keyboards and kept typing.

Anyone who contradicts them will be labeled immediately.

The public is still in a wait-and-see state and is skeptical about the verification results.

An hour later, a well-known influencer came out to refute the rumors, and the marketing account also came out to dig into the details in the photos, and many unreasonable things were exposed.

"So, who is targeting you?"

"The environmental protection industry is targeted, and we have the ability to do a better job ourselves."

"They simply can't do it, otherwise they wouldn't be targeting this. Speaking of which, how many industries in China are involved in environmental protection? They can probably be eliminated by the process of elimination."

"It's tough. There are quite a few, but none of them are doing well. Some are even on the verge of bankruptcy."

Online public opinion has reversed, and Chi Wenyan has already sent people to the factory.

The person in charge naturally saw the public opinion online. When he saw the people coming from above, he said bitterly, "Hey everyone, we are following the procedures here. We all have to wear sterile clothes and gloves. We dare not let this happen."

Chi Wenyan Group is very strict about hygiene. They conduct a small inspection every three days and a large inspection every five days. Who would dare to do such things?

Not to mention that there is 360-degree surveillance here with no blind spots, so if something like this happens, it will be discovered immediately.

"Don't be nervous. Have there been any strange people in the factory these days, doing anything strange?"

"There are so many people here that I really can't remember. Maybe I can look through the registration and remember."

"Then let's go."

I brought people to the office, turned on the computer and started checking. I actually remembered it when I looked through the recent employment records.

The person in charge fixed his gaze on a certain page and pointed at the person.

"Oh, I remember. Half a month ago, there was a guy who came here to work part-time. He wasn't very old, and looked like a college student. He worked very hard after he came in, but he didn't talk much and seemed depressed. He could cover for others when they asked for leave. I thought he was a good guy, but he suddenly said he had something urgent to do and left this morning. He submitted his resignation report this afternoon. It was a bit strange. I was quite suspicious at the time, but because he was a part-time worker and his coming and going were relatively normal, I didn't investigate too deeply."

"Could it be him?"

"It's possible. Do you have more specific information? For example, did he mention any urgent matters? What was the reason for his leave? Or did he behave in any unusual manner during his work?"

The person in charge scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then replied, "He said something urgent happened at home and he had to go back immediately. He looked very hurried when he left, and I didn't have time to ask any more questions. As for any unusual behavior, I didn't notice anything particularly obvious. However, when he submitted his resignation report, I felt that he seemed a little nervous and couldn't look me in the eye when he spoke."

"Did he come into contact with anyone special while working here?"

"I haven't noticed that. He usually just buries himself in his work and doesn't interact much with other employees. We have a lot of short-term workers here, and everyone is busy with their own things, so I don't really care who he gets close to."

"However, I remember seeing him chatting with a delivery driver during his break, but I don't know what they were talking about."

"The delivery driver?" The two looked at each other, feeling that this might be a clue.

The two looked at each other and realized that someone had already sent a message to Gu Nanting.

"That might be a little difficult. The delivery drivers here are all outsourced and have a high turnover rate. I don't know how to contact him. Besides, it's not certain whether this kid is the one you're looking for."

"You have that person's residential address, right? Please also retrieve his photo."

“Yes, it’s all recorded.”

After getting the address and photo, the two walked out. They looked at each other and saw a hint of suspicion in their eyes. They first planned to call the person, but the number was invalid.

After thinking about it, one of them called Gu Nanting.

"Mr. Gu, do you want to track down that person's address? We called, but the number is unavailable."

"Go ahead."

"Yes." After hanging up the phone, the two went to the man's address.
