After the printing plant was acquired, Lu Fan had already arranged for the human resources department to assist the printing plant in expanding its recruitment.
Now that the printing plant has barely caught up with the order schedule, Zhou Hongsheng thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Who knew the soy sauce factory would be expanding its workforce again!
However, the salary and holiday benefits offered by Lu Fan were simply too high.
With a salary far exceeding the industry average, Zhou Hongsheng really couldn't bear to quit his current busy but fulfilling job.
After announcing the development strategies for the soy sauce factory, Lu Fan adjourned the meeting: "Let's end today's meeting here at '407'." He then discussed the bright future prospects, and the meeting, which included the entire district's management, finally concluded successfully.
Jiang Manyue was whispering something to her assistant, Xiao Zhang. Only after everyone had left the meeting room did she find Lu Fan.
"Sister Lü has gone to prepare for the case. She asked Xiao Zhang to tell you that the court hearing is about to begin."
Lu Fan raised an eyebrow, knowing that she was referring to the rumor-mongering case that Lü Qiuyi's legal department had been busy with recently.
He nodded slowly: "Did they say who the defendant is in the first case?" Lu Fan thought that the first case would definitely target the big bloggers on those platforms first.
However, in order to get good luck and make a good start, Lü Qiuyi chose a case that was almost certain to succeed.
Jiang Manyue pursed her lips: "She's just an ordinary user on some platform. Sister Lü said she's been jumping around spreading rumors and slander, so she must have been paid."
Therefore, starting with ordinary users to create an opening was one of Lü Qiuyi's strategies for handling this case.
The Ministry of Justice is targeting no fewer than a hundred people in this lawsuit, excluding those high-profile, deadly bloggers.
The other defendants were accused of spreading rumors with extremely negative consequences.
Lu Fan would never be polite to such baseless rumors and fabrications.
The rumor-mongers targeted by Lu Fan clearly didn't understand who they had messed with this time!
The lawsuit hasn't even started yet, and the first defendant in this dispute has already begun to build momentum.
He first sought sympathy from some bloggers he had previously supported, who then published some dubious articles on his behalf to gain their sympathy.
However, the tone shifted again, still targeting Lu Fan's company.
"Big stores bully customers; having abundant capital means you can do whatever you want to ordinary people." Soon, news of the Lu family brand suing various influential bloggers and targeting ordinary people spread across the internet.
Many of these articles even made it to the top of the trending searches.
The bloggers who were sued were all denouncing the arrogance of the Lu's brand:
"They're clearly doing wrong, and we consumers can't even protect our rights?" "They're really taking advantage of their money to do whatever they want."
"I support the bloggers to stand their ground and show the capital how united we are."
Another bloody storm ensued.
Meanwhile, the official Lu family account, which was attacked, remained calm and composed, posting only one sentence to respond to the current rumors.
Those who are innocent will remain innocent. As a domestic brand, Lu's products are not threatened by foreign companies!
Later, they even published a clarification article, explaining the background and how the Lu family brand withstood the pressure from large corporations.
Faced with the coercion and enticement of large corporations to acquire and invest in the company, the Lu family did not compromise. Instead, they encountered a series of public relations persecution and framing...
It can only be said that now that things have escalated to this point, everyone knows the true value of this gossip.
It's unclear who bought the trending topics, but news about the Lu family keeps appearing at the top of the list and being discussed.
Thus, a new trend emerged after the official clarification post from the Lu family.
Some smaller bloggers, in an attempt to appear as a breath of fresh air, have started doing the opposite, analyzing several pieces of information revealed by Lu's official account:
First, what large corporation is persecuting the Lu family, leading to this current situation?
Furthermore, why did the Lu family claim that their products were domestically produced, while the other company was a foreign-invested enterprise?
Because of Shengjing Company's series of questionable actions, the soy sauce factory's employees lived in fear for a long time, worried that the factory, which had finally started to improve, would be sold off again.
The employees breathed a sigh of relief, and naturally had nothing to hide about the bullying and coercion from Shengjing Company.
So one "insider" after another stepped forward and started talking online about what was happening in the factory area.
However, since the employees were not dedicated active users on various platforms, these comments were also identified as spam by the major bloggers on the platforms.
Anyway, anyone who speaks up for the Lu family brand is now being labeled a paid troll.
They were subjected to online harassment spearheaded by influential bloggers, and this resentment backfired. Faced with such overwhelmingly negative comments, Lü Qiuyi suggested appealing to the platform to have the posts locked and to have them edited out.
However, Lu Fan and his public relations department felt that such popularity was hard-won, and since the popularity continued, they could take advantage of this favorable trend.
When they win the lawsuit, their reputation will naturally turn around, saving them advertising costs.
