Protagonist Lin Fan was adopted by the Lin couple since childhood. With his exceptional business acumen, he transformed the heavily indebted Lin Group into a commercial empire.
However, at th...
In the prison's visiting room.
Lin Yaozu's face looked pale and haggard.
"Lin Fan... Brother, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"
His voice was choked with sobs, and it reached Lin Fan's ears through the microphone.
"Please help me, please help me! I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to spend my whole life in this hellhole!"
Lin Fan sat in the chair, quietly watching him.
He was dressed in a sharp suit, which contrasted sharply with Lin Yaozu's disheveled appearance.
"Lin Yaozu, are you scared now? When you did those things back then, why didn't you think this day would come?"
"I...I was confused at the time! Brother, I promise I'll never do it again! I'll definitely turn over a new leaf and start a new life!"
Lin Yaozu shook his head desperately, tears and snot streaming down his face.
"I'll do anything you ask if you're willing to help me!"
"Anything is fine?"
Lin Fan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.
"Does that include betraying those who colluded with you?"
Lin Yaozu's body jolted violently.
He looked up, staring at Lin Fan in horror.
"How...how did you know?"
How would I know?
Lin Fan sneered.
"Do you really think you can get away with what you've done? Lin Yaozu, you're too naive!"
"Brother...I..."
Lin Yaozu tried to argue, but Lin Fan interrupted him.
“You don’t need to say anything more. If you really want to mitigate your sentence, just honestly tell the police everything you know. Perhaps that will get you some leniency.”
After Lin Fan finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Brother! Brother, don't go! I'll confess! I'll confess everything!"
Lin Yaozu saw that Lin Fan was about to leave.
Panicked, he screamed at the top of his lungs, "I'll tell you everything I know! Please don't go!"
Lin Fan stopped, turned around, and looked at him.
"Remember, this is your last chance."
Lin Yaozu nodded frantically, as if grasping at a lifeline.
"I know, I know! I'll tell you everything!"
In the following days, Lin Yaozu tried to get a lighter sentence.
He provided the police with numerous details about the crimes committed by the "black money" organization.
It even implicated some government officials who had colluded with the organization.
He confessed everything like beans spilling from a bamboo tube, afraid of missing any detail.
"That...that Director Wang, he took money from Brother Li! And...and Section Chief Li, he was also involved in money laundering..."
Lin Yaozu's voice trembled.
Following Lin Yaozu's confession, the police followed the clues and launched a series of in-depth investigations.
For a time, the officialdom was in a state of panic, and people were filled with anxiety.
Several officials involved in the case have been dismissed and are under investigation.
The scandal of collusion between "black money" organizations and government officials was exposed, immediately causing a huge uproar.
The incident caused an uproar in the public, who questioned the internal management of the Lin Group and some even suspected that the Lin Group had condoned the illegal activities of Lin Yaozu and others.
"The Lin Group has been involved in such a huge scandal! It's unbelievable!"
Is there an even bigger conspiracy behind Lin Yaozu?
"Are there serious problems with the internal management of the Lin Group?"
"As the head of the Lin Group, shouldn't Lin Fan be held responsible for this matter?"
As a result, the Lin Group's stock price plummeted, and the company's image suffered unprecedented damage.
Faced with the overwhelming public opinion, Lin Fan did not choose to run away.
He immediately arranged for his public relations team to issue a statement, expressing the company's firm stance of distancing itself from illegal and criminal activities.
The atmosphere inside the conference room of the Lin Group headquarters building was heavy and serious.
Lin Fan sat at the head of the conference table.
"Everyone is already aware of the current situation."
Lin Fan spoke slowly.
"Lin Yaozu's actions not only brought him imprisonment, but also had a huge negative impact on the company."
"However, we cannot back down because of this."
We must respond proactively and take all necessary measures to salvage the company's reputation and rebuild its image!
Lin Fan's gaze swept over everyone present, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.
"First of all, we must fully cooperate with the police investigation and provide all necessary information and assistance."
Lin Fan said firmly.
“We cannot conceal any clues related to Lin Yaozu’s case; we must report them to the police truthfully.”
"Secondly, we must immediately initiate public relations crisis management procedures, issue a statement to the public, and express our company's position."
Lin Fan looked at the head of the public relations department.
"Manager Zhang, I'm leaving this matter to you."
"President Lin, rest assured, our public relations department will do its utmost to quell this public opinion storm as soon as possible."
Manager Zhang solemnly promised.
"Very good." Lin Fan nodded.
"Remember, our statement must clearly express the following points: First, Lin Yaozu's personal behavior has nothing to do with the company, and our company is completely unaware of this matter;
Secondly, our company firmly opposes any form of illegal or criminal activity and strongly condemns Lin Yaozu's actions.
Third, our company will fully cooperate with the police investigation and conduct a comprehensive overhaul of internal management to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
"clear!"
Manager Zhang carefully noted down Lin Fan's requirements.
Lin Fan continued, "In addition to public relations work, we also need to strengthen communication with the media, proactively accept media interviews, and respond to public concerns."
"We want to send a clear message to the public through various channels: the Lin Group is a responsible company, and we will never tolerate any illegal or criminal activities!"
Lin Fan's words were resounding, making everyone present feel his determination and courage.
Under Lin Fan's instructions, the Lin Group acted swiftly.
The public relations team drafted a statement overnight and released it to the public through major media outlets.
In its statement, the Lin Group explicitly stated that Lin Yaozu's personal actions were unrelated to the company, that the company was completely unaware of the matter, and strongly condemned Lin Yaozu's behavior.
At the same time, the Lin Group also promised to fully cooperate with the police investigation and to conduct a comprehensive overhaul of its internal management.
This statement responded promptly to public concerns and alleviated public pressure to some extent.
Lin Fan also personally accepted interviews from several media outlets, candidly answering various questions raised by reporters.
