really.
As Lin Wei had predicted, the moment Zhang Wei was sent away, the online sentiment had already shifted dramatically.
When Wang Ying came over after finishing her conversation, she saw that both of them had a bitter look on their faces.
"What's going on? I didn't suffer any loss. I did everything I could. You guys are really going to do this."
"Yingying, quickly turn on your phone and check the comments online. The tone has changed now, and everyone is attacking us, saying that we are a big company bullying small companies, leaving them no way to survive, and trying to force them to their deaths."
"All the stories about those holdout residents have also been exposed."
Actually, the most serious issue with holdouts in Boyuan is Ms. Wang's refusal to move out.
Nothing much happened afterward, but the way that incident was handled set an example for all demolition companies. Holdouts never get away with it, and now that they see Boyuan has been humiliated, they're bound to have a good talk with him.
Then, regardless of whether it was related or not, they brought everything up.
"My company is fine even if it suffers losses, but please don't let Jianggang get involved."
People have actually died at Jianggang Group.
At this point, Lin Wei asked, "How did you and Zhang Wei talk?"
"What's there to talk about? We had no prior business dealings. Even if we did, it was because they wanted to curry favor with us. No matter what the internet is saying, it won't affect our decisions. Besides, a company as big as ours wouldn't bother with such a small company."
Zhang Wei hadn't explained in detail before, and Lin Wei didn't know how small Zhang Wei's company was.
She didn't know until Wang Ying explained it to her.
"He says he's started a company, but he's really just a contractor in a small town. He makes some money, but only a few hundred thousand a year, at most a million or so. We really don't need to make things difficult for them. As for the cooperation he mentioned, he wanted to bid for a project, but I just called to verify. They never intended to cooperate with him. He's just too confident. It's wishful thinking on his part. There's no reason for us not to cooperate with them."
"After contacting those CEOs, we decided to post a blog together to clarify the facts. In short, no matter how his company develops in the future, it has nothing to do with us. Let's sever ties first, so that we won't be blamed for everything later."
Zhang Yanyan suddenly realized, "Could it be that he secretly knows the ways of the internet and wants to use the internet to promote his company, so that people will know about him and then use him to step on us to develop the company? Just like celebrities, isn't being famous for being infamous still being famous?"
“But there are too many loopholes in his statement. Aren’t you afraid that revealing it will backfire?” Lin Wei said.
“Maybe they’re desperate and think that our company is too big to bother asking around? Maybe they really think they’re confident about the bidding and that we’ve ruined it?” Wang Ying said. “Anyway, whatever their intentions, we’ll clarify things. There are a lot of brainless people on the internet, but there are also a lot of smart people. I don’t believe everyone will be swayed by them.”
-
That afternoon, after arranging a time with the various business owners, Wang Ying immediately posted a clarification about Zhang Wei's situation.
Those who initially sympathized with Zhang Wei immediately switched sides after reading his post.
"No, this person is shameless. Cheating and swindling money are one thing, but after all these years, he wants to use everyone's sympathy to turn the tables?"
"This is only possible because it's a large company. If it were a small company, who could withstand it?"
"Moreover, he was really confident. He thought his company was doing well, and he was sure his company could win the project. But who knew that the other party had no intention of cooperating with him at all."
"This is not just a joke, this is a huge embarrassment."
Zhang Wei angrily threw down the mouse. "Damn it, what the hell? We had already reached the final step, just one step away from signing the contract, but how come it's become that they never intended to cooperate? Are big companies so great? Don't they give small companies any room to maneuver? This is clearly bullying them."
A colleague standing nearby said, "I've followed these projects from beginning to end, and I can definitely prove that what you said is true. We're really just one step away from signing the contract. But Boyuan might really be innocent. After all, it's a big company, and people are trying to curry favor with them. It's normal that we don't dare to tell them the truth."
But in the end, it's all Zhang Wei's own fault. He couldn't just work properly at Boyuan, but he insisted on starting a business, cheating people out of money, getting married in secret, and offending the villagers. Now he's offended Boyuan as well.
I'm afraid this company won't last long.
But Zhang Wei didn't think so. He had been running his company for so many years, and if Boyuan really didn't allow him to develop, he would never be able to succeed no matter where he was.
But now that it has developed, it certainly has nothing to do with Boyuan.
But this company was his life's work, and he hated it.
"No, I can't just sit here and wait to die. Anyway, I've already made enough money. At worst, I can just quit this industry altogether. If I fail, I'll definitely drag all these people down with me."
Zhang Wei organized all the materials and that very evening, he used his own account to upload the time-tested materials to the internet.
[I'm not lying. These projects are just one step away from being finalized with the contract signing. My personal issues with Mr. Wang are long gone, and the company's development has never been hindered in any way during these years. I believe Boyuan hasn't done anything malicious, and I believe that a company as large as theirs wouldn't do such a thing. But I just want the truth: these projects really are just one contract away from being finalized. I know there can be many changes before signing, but they never considered cooperating with our company. Are they just playing us for a fool?]
No one expected Zhang Wei to be so ruthless; it was tantamount to openly slapping those business partners in the face.
"Is he not going to do it anymore?"
"Does he really want to block all his own paths?"
“I even said that I was going to collaborate with him on future projects, but this has caused such a commotion. I quickly told everyone outside that we are not allowed to have any further cooperation with their company.”
Before his assistant could respond, Zhang Wei posted another message on Weibo.
I'm ready to leave this industry. I'll be closing the company tomorrow. I just want the facts, the facts I won't lie to anyone.
Although the subsequent events were somewhat related to Boyuan, most of them were unrelated, and within two days the focus shifted entirely to other matters.
Lin Wei sighed, "I told you, the internet has its advantages and disadvantages. Before, if something caused a stir, only a small circle of people around would know about it. Now, if something causes a stir, the whole country will know about it."
But this is precisely because Lin Wei died young; short videos already existed, but had not yet truly developed.
If it had been a few years later, given their current PR speed, the company would have been implicated long ago, and they wouldn't have had time to lament in the office.
