After instructing Yang Yun, Chen Zhe immediately gathered all the livestreamers. There were more than 100 livestreamers from all the branches. Chen Zhe asked Wu Yuanyuan to record their family situations one by one. After summarizing them, he selected 30 to 40 people whose family situations were more complicated.
He trained each of them individually, then had them sign confidentiality agreements. After doing all that, he called the four district heads.
Meanwhile, Yang Yun was not idle either. She held a press conference to apologize to the public for what the employees of the Paradise Club had done, and she also threw all the blame on Chen Zhe.
“We tried to persuade him not to acquire Paradise on Earth Club because Linglong Club has its own principles and bottom line, and there are many things we cannot do. But he just wouldn’t listen. He was blinded by beauty and insisted on acquiring Paradise on Earth Club.”
A reporter jumped out and raised his hand.
"Manager Yang, isn't that a bit much? President Chen already has the Linglong Club, which is full of beautiful women. Can't all of you satisfy him?"
His remarks caused everyone present to burst into laughter.
"My friend, if you know about our Linglong Club, then you should know that all of our anchors were personally selected by our former president, Ms. Hu. She took these girls to the hospital to verify their virginity so as to clearly tell everyone that although we run a club, our interpersonal relationships are very pure, and our anchors are all very self-disciplined and would never have any improper relationships with him."
"So you mean that your CEO Chen couldn't get the female anchors at Linglong Club, so he turned his attention to Paradise Club?"
“I can’t say that. I’m just emphasizing that all the things circulating online about our Linglong Club are fabricated. You can’t attribute all the things that the employees of Paradise Club did to the employees of our Linglong Club. That’s not fair to us.”
"Manager Yang, what you're saying isn't right. Paradise Club already belongs to your Linglong Club; you could say it's a branch of yours. You were so proud when you acquired it, and it hasn't been that long. Why are you trying to sever ties with them now? Can I assume you're deliberately shirking responsibility?"
"That's right, your Linglong Club is just shirking responsibility. You want to make money as long as nothing goes wrong, but once something happens, you try to distance yourself from the situation. Nobody does things like that."
"Your Linglong Club must take responsibility! You gold diggers are all the same at heart. Besides swindling money, you are of no use to society. Your company must shut down!!"
"Yes!! Close down!!!"
"Get them all to jail!!!"
Suddenly, someone burst into the venue and started shouting. Soon, more and more people joined in, and the scene became chaotic. Yang Yun and several managers who were also attending the press conference were pelted with rotten eggs and cabbages by the chaotic crowd, and the press conference was abruptly ended.
Second floor of the hotel.
Mr. Ma and Shen Xingang exchanged a smile.
"Heh, is this kid's trick? Trying to clearly separate Linglong Club from Paradise Club, taking responsibility himself, and then protecting Linglong Club? Isn't that a bit too naive?"
"Hehe, who can argue with that? He's still too young. These media outlets are all my people. I can tell them what to write, and they'll write it. Today's press conference not only failed to clear his name about Linglong Club, but also added another label of lecher to his reputation. He's really lost both his wife and his army."
Seeing Linglong Club suffer misfortune, Shen Xingang couldn't have been happier.
Mr. Ma turned his head and looked at him.
"President Shen, you were forced to back down by this kid before. Wasn't that a bit too careless?"
Shen Xingang could tell that this person was mocking him, but he dared not refute it. This Boss Ma was a favorite of the young master Guan, and he couldn't afford to offend him.
So he could only force a smile.
"Mr. Ma, it was indeed my carelessness that allowed this kid to take advantage of me. Luckily, you and Young Master Guan were there."
Mr. Ma chuckled smugly and then began to give instructions: "Mr. Shen, you need to be more careful in the future. Don't be as careless as you were this time. Young Master Guan can help you once, but he may not be able to help you a second time."
"Yes, thank you for reminding me, Mr. Ma. I won't do it again."
Hearing Mr. Ma laughing heartily, Shen Xingang was still somewhat unconvinced.
[Who do you think you are? This time, it's all thanks to my sacrifice of the Paradise Club; otherwise, would you have succeeded?]
...
Yang Yun returned to the company and went to Chen Zhe's office.
Chen Zhe smelled the strange odor on her, looked up and chuckled; "What? Got rotten eggs thrown at you?"
Seeing Chen Zhe's completely unconcerned demeanor, Yang Yun wanted to vent her frustration from the press conference, but the thought that she was the cause of the incident made her lose her confidence.
"This has no effect whatsoever. They simply don't believe that Linglong Club is innocent. What's the point of having me hold this press conference? Now, not only can Linglong Club's reputation not be salvaged, but you yourself have also been branded as a pervert. Is this what you wanted?"
"That's right, this is the effect I wanted."
"You!!!! Why are you doing this? Are you trying to humiliate me? I know this all started because of me. Just let me die. I signed those agreements. If I die, they'll blame it on me. You've taken away my last chance to atone!"
As Yang Yun spoke, she suddenly burst into tears. She was always a very strong person and rarely showed her emotions in front of outsiders, but this time she couldn't hold back anymore. The reputation of Linglong Club was completely beyond repair this time. Chen Zhe, that bastard, was deliberately playing her for a fool.
"Why are you crying again? This isn't like you!"
Chen Zhe pulled a few tissues from the table and handed them over.
Yang Yun angrily slapped his hand away; "What exactly do you want? Do you think I haven't felt guilty enough? Do you want me to embarrass myself again before I die?"
Linglong Club couldn't save her, and Yang Yun no longer had the courage to live; she couldn't face her own failure.
"Manager Yang, do you know why Sister Hu didn't hand over the company to you before she passed away?"
Chen Zhe suddenly brought up this issue.
Yang Yun stopped crying and stood there stunned.
"Because you are too stubborn and inflexible. You can handle small matters, but when it comes to big things, your IQ drops rapidly. You don't have a strong heart, so Sister Hu is not at ease handing the company over to you."
"I……"
Yang Yun wanted to refute Chen Zhe. She felt that Hu Jie must not have said those words, because Hu Jie trusted her so much when she was still alive, but now... she had caused such a big mess, and she really didn't have the confidence to say it.
Seeing Yang Yun lower her head and fall silent, Chen Zhe continued;
"Manager Yang, things are not at their worst yet. Please don't prematurely define yourself as a loser. Linglong Club is still there, and we haven't lost our shares. The so-called agreement you signed doesn't have my signature, so they can't get compensation. At most, you'll face some lawsuits, but don't worry, I'll help you with that. The company has no intention of giving up on you."
Yang Yun's heart trembled. She never expected Chen Zhe to say such a thing. She had taken it upon herself to sign a contract with another company, and Chen Zhe had caught her red-handed. Based on their past conflicts, he should be eager to kill her.
If I had caught Chen Zhe red-handed, I would definitely have done the same.
Yang Yun wanted to see if Chen Zhe was lying. She didn't want to see her character so thoroughly outshone by Chen Zhe, but she failed. Chen Zhe's words seemed sincere.
How could he be so magnanimous?
...
The online discussion has been brewing for several days.
Linglong Club's reputation has been completely ruined, with the internet filled with insults and even starting to affect other companies in the Linglong Chamber of Commerce.
The Victory Group was undoubtedly delighted, because they had received news that the overseas side was considering stopping orders from the Linglong Chamber of Commerce. If the orders from the Linglong Chamber of Commerce stopped, then their spring would be just around the corner.
Thinking of this, Shen Xingang felt extremely comfortable.
Guan Yingjie also came to the East China Sea.
He came here to take over the matter of the Qingyun Mountain treasure.
"Young Master, Linglong Club is finally finished. This time, they won't be able to cause any more trouble!"
"Hehe, this is to be expected. Chen Zhe is just a nobody. I can easily move a finger and he won't be able to handle it."
"That's right, that's right."
"Young Master, can we now request compensation from Linglong Club?"
Mr. Ma asked from the side.
Guan Yingjie waved his hand; "No rush, the signature wasn't Chen Zhe's, we don't have a sure chance of winning a lawsuit against them."
"Young Master, this is not difficult. We can contact the district heads of Donghai and talk to them about attracting investment. They will probably agree."
"No need. I wouldn't stoop to using such methods against him. This kid is arrogant enough. He's quite interesting. I'll keep him around to play with him slowly."
While the group was still talking, there was a knock on the door.
Wei Ming knocked on the door and came in; "Brother-in-law, something terrible has happened... Linglong Club..."
Shen Xingang glared at him; "Why are you in such a panic? Can't you see that Young Master Guan is here? Don't you know the rules?"
Guan Yingjie waved his hand; "It doesn't matter. What did you just say? What's wrong with Linglong Club?"
"Young Master, Chen Zhe is live-streaming online..."
"Weren't their Linglong Club accounts all blocked? How is he doing a live stream?" Shen Xingang asked.
"He opened a new account..."
The three of them were stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then they laughed.
"Does this kid want to embarrass himself again? Does he really think he can salvage Linglong Club's reputation?" Boss Ma laughed the most heartily.
"He's dreaming. Linglong Club has no chance of turning things around," Shen Xingang said with a laugh.
"Heh, turn on the live stream, I want to see what this kid has to say."
