One of his subordinates was nearly poked by his finger, which startled him so much that he flinched and instinctively took a step back.
The public relations manager immediately turned his gaze and swept it over, shouting, "What are you hiding for! How can you hide after things have turned out like this?!"
The subordinate froze, his face contorted in a grimace, and silently moved back inside. He was then yelled at again, "Move! Move! You're the only one moving! Do you have ADHD? Let me tell you, if we don't find a solution to this before Boss Pan arrives, I'll get rid of you!!"
As soon as the public relations manager finished speaking, the subordinate who had just been accused immediately said, "If we were to follow the usual procedure, we would first find the source of the video, delete it, and then remove it from the trending topics. However, this matter has already attracted a lot of attention from people who have bought houses built by our company, which feels like an attempt to cover up the truth and might cause an even bigger backlash. I have a plan. First, we should have someone go to the site and do a live broadcast to prove that the ghost story is fake, and we can also take the opportunity to promote our new community. Second, we should suspend the head of human resources, Wang Chuanjun, to quell the anger of netizens, and also give the girl's family some compensation."
After pondering for several seconds, the public relations director stroked his chin and said, "Live streaming sounds feasible, but do you think President Pan would agree to suspending the HR director?"
The subordinate said, "I think General Manager Pan will make his own decision regarding the relationship between the company and General Manager Wang."
The head of public relations waved his hand, "Alright, I'll bring this up with President Pan later. You guys go back and think about whether you have any better ideas. President Pan will be here soon. I hope this can be resolved smoothly, otherwise, not only you, but I'll be fired too!"
The suggestion was quickly adopted.
First, COSCO Group issued an official Weibo post announcing the suspension of the head of the human resources department, then expressed its apology to the female student and offered compensation. Finally, the announcement included a video link, stating that it would be broadcast live to respond to the haunting incident at Citron Community.
The announcement from COSCO Group immediately attracted a large number of netizens.
[They drove someone to suicide, and all they get is a suspension? Will this Minister of Manpower be reinstated once the storm passes? Is there no law? @A City Police, investigate this Minister of Manpower!!]
This comment immediately garnered tens of thousands of likes from netizens.
COSCO Group did indeed have this plan: to return to the company after this matter subsided, given that the minister had a close relationship with the group's CEO.
However, COSCO Group simply turned a deaf ear to this blunt statement and pretended not to see it.
Is this a live stream to debunk the rumors that the Citron Community is haunted?
I'm also very curious whether the Citron neighborhood is really haunted. If it is, then their visit will be quite an experience.
[Is the live stream on? Is anyone watching? Is it really haunted?]
[It's open! We're about to go in!]
"Oh my god, it looks so creepy now."
Don't ghosts only appear at night? Would going during the day be effective?
The streamer said he'd be livestreaming all day, not ending until the early hours of the morning.
Qin Yunie is also of great interest.
Qin Yunie watched as the live streamer walked into the Citron Community, introducing its layout and surrounding facilities. She then turned to Xie Bi'an and asked, "Is it okay for them to be here during the day? Will the daytime light affect them?"
Xie Bi'an shook his head and said, "It's alright."
Hearing that it was okay, Qin Yunie finally relaxed and started watching the live stream attentively.
The live stream is very popular. Almost as soon as it started, tens of thousands of people flooded in. In just a few minutes, the number of people watching the live stream has reached hundreds of thousands and is still rising.
In addition, it was during the morning rush hour, and many commuters were on their way to work, so the number of viewers in the live stream quickly jumped to 500,000.
Qin Yunie didn't listen to what the anchor was saying; instead, he focused his attention on the tall building behind him.
Through the video, she immediately saw a ghost shrouded in wisps of black mist, holding its head and sitting by the unfinished window, its head staring intently at the streamer below.
She didn't know if others could see it, but this scene left Qin Yunie speechless.
Imagine this: a person holding a head in their hand, and the head can move, its eyes follow the person, it jumps around when it's happy, and it even grins at you. Wouldn't that be terrifying?
The streamer in the live broadcast room was obviously unaware that there was a ghost staring straight at him from behind, but he vaguely felt a chill down his back. The temperature had indeed dropped a bit recently, so he thought it was because he wasn't wearing enough clothes.
It wasn't until a careful viewer in the live stream took a screenshot and posted it online that it sparked a heated discussion.
Holy crap! This is photoshopped, right?
Is this fake? It looks like it doesn't have a head.
[Should we take another closer look? Is that something round in its hands? Could it be a head?]
[...]
These words startled many netizens, who immediately informed the streamer.
[Hey streamer, look behind you! There's a ghost!!]
[He's a headless ghost!! Could it be that he slammed his head on the ground last night?!]
Holy crap!! My scalp is tingling with fear!!
[The more I look at it, the more it seems to make sense! I thought it was photoshopped at first! But when I came back to the live stream and zoomed in, it really does look like there's a person sitting there!!]
[Stop broadcasting! Run!]
[Run, streamer!!]
The streamer was still enthusiastically introducing the product when he suddenly saw the words following the donation on the screen: 【Streamer, run! There's a ghost!】
The streamer thought the netizens were joking with him and laughed, saying, "Stop it, this neighborhood isn't haunted at all. I'm going to keep going."
As soon as he turned the corner, he saw a white object fall down from above.
【Aaaaaah! Holy crap!!】
[Holy crap! Is there someone tied to that spot?]
[Was this the thing that was swinging on last night?]
【Ugh, he's here again!! Is he treating this building like a bungee jumping site?!】
The anchor saw it this time, and his smile froze for a moment, but thinking of his daily wage of two thousand, he forced himself to continue, "We must believe in science; there are no ghosts in this world."
[Since the streamer isn't afraid, why don't you look back!]
[Host, turn around quickly!!]
The host had already spoken, and when he saw netizens telling him to turn back, he immediately said, "I'll turn back then."
The moment he turned his head, he saw the ghost opposite him, who was holding its head, looking at him, and the head in his arms had a smile on its lips.
