Chapter 374: Enough to Prove Strength
That afternoon, after I entertained Qin Yu, I returned to the studio. Xu Sisi rushed into the studio in a panic, holding a mobile phone in her hand, and shouted anxiously: "Sister Gu, it's bad! The Internet is full of negative news about our studio, saying that there is a shady deal in the financing, and that we are unable to complete the project."
"What? How could this happen? Don't panic, don't panic."
I asked Xu Sisi to calm down first, and then immediately called a meeting of the core members of the studio.
In the small meeting room, everyone was talking at the same time and the place was in chaos.
"Sister Gu, how about we issue a statement to clarify things?" Xiao Tiantian asked with a worried look on her face.
"What's the point of making a statement? Netizens are all on one side now and don't believe us at all."
Everyone had different opinions and the atmosphere was depressing.
I pondered for a moment, weighing the pros and cons of various response options in my mind.
"They are using public opinion to attack us, so we will fight back. We will contact the media immediately and hold a press conference to make the financing details and project plans public, and let the facts speak for themselves. At the same time, we will increase publicity efforts, publish more of our studio's advantages and success stories, and restore our reputation."
Although I'm not completely sure, I can't let myself be bullied!
Everyone nodded.
Immediately afterwards, we stopped our current work and rushed to prepare materials for the press conference and contact various media.
Suddenly, the phone screen lit up.
It said: "Ms. Gu, I'm so sorry. I was on a business trip the day before. It was a two-hour flight, but I suddenly slept until the afternoon."
"You can delay such an important cooperation!" I was furious.
"No, someone did something secretly."
"What hands and feet?"
"Honey trap."
When I saw these three words, I immediately put down my phone and complained about him in my heart. I have complained about him ten thousand times.
"Something is happening right now. I'll ask Xu Sisi to send it to you. Please find someone and arrange it quickly."
"Um."
I frowned and said to Xu Sisi anxiously, "Sisi, the press conference is about to begin. Rumors are still spreading wildly. If it affects the cooperation between the studio and Switzerland, it will be a big trouble. Time is running out. We must come up with a foolproof plan to quickly curb the rumors."
Xu Sisi looked solemn, nodded, and responded: "I understand, the situation is indeed critical. Let's sort out the current situation first, and then see where to make efforts to reduce the negative impact of the rumors as much as possible."
"I think there will be no problem this time. The information is ready." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Tiantian also sent me the last document.
"good."
At the same time, Mr. Song from Song Yang's side discovered his cooperation with me, but public opinion fermented too quickly, so he scolded Song Yang severely.
"One month, I'll give you one month! If you can't handle it, stop interfering in the group's business and go back to the grassroots to reflect on yourself!"
The phone screen went dark, reflecting Song Yang's slightly pale face.
He slammed his phone down on the desk. The financial statements on the desk were spread out in a mess, and the glaring numbers were like sharp knives piercing my heart.
"Mr. Song, this is the latest report on capital flows." Secretary Xiao Wang pushed the door open and placed a stack of documents in front of him.
He flipped through the documents, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, "I haven't even started yet, why are some people jealous already?"
He said as he looked through the documents.
"You go out first." Then he rubbed his temples and said tiredly.
At the same time, a press conference was held on my side.
Before the meeting, my cell phone vibrated and I looked at the caller ID. It was his number.
"Hello?" I answered the phone, trying to sound calm.
"Song Yang..." My voice trembled a little, "Something happened in the studio. Someone spread rumors online, saying that our financial analysis report was fake, and now customers are asking to terminate the contract..."
I held the phone tightly, and Jiang Yichen told me: "Don't be anxious, talk slowly."
"I checked and found that the rumors were all posted by a few newly registered accounts, but they spread too quickly..."
"Listen," Jiang Yichen interrupted me, "I think I know who is behind this."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone: "It's a problem within the Song family. His eldest brother has always wanted to control the financial department of the group..."
"But……"
"Don't worry about the consequences," his voice softened, "I'm here, and I won't let anyone hurt you again."
There were constant flashes of light and the atmosphere was tense.
A reporter asked pointedly: "Ms. Gu, there are reports that your studio has financing problems and is simply unable to complete the project. How do you respond to this?"
Isn't that a response now? I smiled, raised my chin slightly, looked around the room calmly, and spoke clearly and firmly: "My reporter friend, the news you mentioned has no factual basis. Our financing process follows strict financial regulations at every stage, and there are complete documents and procedures to check."
As I spoke, I turned sideways to signal that I was distributing copies of the financing documents that I had prepared to the reporters present, and continued, "What you are seeing now is the contract we signed with the Swiss private banker, as well as the audit report issued by a third-party authority. It records in detail the source of funds and planned use. Every payment is aboveboard."
On the other side, Song Yang was at the end of the long table, tapping his fingertips lightly on the tabletop. Opposite him sat the heads of three self-media companies, who exchanged glances uneasily.
"Mr. Song, this..." One of them just opened his mouth and was interrupted by him raising his hand.
"Spreading untrue information without verification," he pushed a stack of documents over, "has already caused us reputational damage. Here are the relevant legal provisions, as well as the false reports you published."
The conference room was silent except for the hum of the air conditioner. Song Yang could see the cold sweat on their foreheads.
"Now," he stood up and placed his hands on the table, "stop spreading it immediately, delete the relevant content, and post an apology statement on the homepage."
"But Mr. Song," another person tried to defend himself, "We also received anonymous information..."
"Anonymous leak?" He sneered, "Have you verified it? Or do you dare to publish anything as long as you are paid?"
The three of them looked pale.
Song Yang looked at them fiercely and said, "I'll give you two choices. First, do as I say; second, we'll see you in court. But I remind you that I recently acquired a law firm."
"Let's do it right away!" the three of them said almost in unison.
At this moment, I paused for a moment, scanning the faces of the reporters one by one, observing their reactions.
"As for those who doubt our ability to complete projects, I would like to say that although our studio is small, our team members are elites in the industry, and our past successful cases are enough to prove our strength."
