The CEO's Lovely Twins -
Chapter 263 Helping Outsiders Secretly
Dante looked cold and serious, "From Yi-Pai's point of view, what they are trying to do now is to eliminate all the emerging and potential competitors in the industry, because once they become bigger and stronger, they don't stand a chance anymore."
This was reality and the cruel side of the business world.
"Then how long can Mr. Jackson's public relation plan last?"
"I don't know."
Dante had never given uncertain answers. If he said he did not know, it meant he really did not know.
Before they had time to come up with a solution for the next step, someone from the public relation department came and said, "Ms. Downey, something's wrong. Someone posted a long Weibo on the Internet, and it went viral. The truth that you are the boss of our company was also found out."
Hayden stood up immediately. She just finished the meeting and things happened right after that. It was just like what Dante had mentioned, it was too much of a coincidence.
They had an urgent meeting.
"Several things that must be said about Hayden Downey, the heir of the Downey Group, who started a new business after transferring her property"
The title of the article was very long.
It was posted by a well-known big name on Weibo, who owned millions of fans. It was almost afternoon, and this matter turned viral and appeared in the 'hot search' list. The article was mainly discussing about three things. The first things was the most eye-catching one.
It was about the incident that happened half a month ago, where the migrant worker tried to commit suicide on the top floor of the Downey Group's headquarter building.
The second thing mentioned about the incident where Downey Group was investigated because of the financial loopholes, causing thousands of people unemployed.
The third thing was the summary of the above two events. The words used to describe the incident were quite sharp and mean. All the blame were attributed to Hayden, because she was the daughter of Brook Downey. She received the richest invisible inheritance, and this inheritance was received by using mean tactics.
Such an article seemed logically clear and organized, but it did not mention the key points at all. However, it integrated the recent Internet rumors and combined it together into a larger piece of lie. Moreover, he arbitrarily made up the fact that all the properties transferred by Brook Downey were poured into the company that Hayden was managing now, Green Lemon Clothing Co., Ltd. The relationship between Hayden and Green Lemon Clothing was confirmed when the name of the company was mentioned in the article.
"We found it."
Amos, the employee of the technical department, lifted his head from behind the computer and said with a solemn face, "The IP address that sent the article is not far from us, it is Yi-Pai Group." Hayden and Dante exchanged a glance, it really was them.
The manager of the public relation, Benson Jackson, was obviously aware of the seriousness of the matter, and his face turned pale, "It's all my fault. I didn't deal with this matter earlier. I even said that I wanted to be ahead of them, but in the end, they still took the lead."
Hayden took a glance and him, her eyes deepened a little, "Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. Now it's a matter of replaceing a way to fix it. Tonight, stay here and think about what to do."
In the information age, trying to bring down a small company was almost a matter of the fingertips. So, when the company was first formed, she had set up a public relations department. Although Benson's current experience was not enough to deal with it, she believed that he would experience and learn to become a strong person after this incident.
The company was not afraid to spend time cultivating talents. The thing Hayden worried the most would be her own employee was trying to help the outsiders secretly.
Hayden looked at Campbell, the administrative manager, who was standing beside Benson.
"Mr. Jackson, please write a formal document for the clarification report first, then stamp it and post it on the social media platform. Then control the direction of the discussion on the Internet and notify the reporters of various media. Tell them we are going to hold a press conference to clarify the things that have happened recently."
Hayden briefly explained the urgent matter of the public relations to him. Benson did not dare to be negligent, he nodded repeatedly.
When everyone looked ready to settle the matter, Campbell was the only one who looked distracted.
"All of you, please stop whatever task you have on hand and think about how to deal with this matter we're facing now. I will reward those who came out with good ideas."
The meeting took a long time.
Everyone twisted their eyebrows and thought hard. Only Campbell looked like he was sitting restlessly, feeling extremely uneasy.
He could not sit still anymore when the meeting had just started for half an hour. He stood up.
"Mr. Cook, where are you going?"
"Oh, the toilet. I'll be back in a while." Campbell looked unnatural.
Looking at his back, Hayden's fingers typed a sentence using her computer keyboard and sent, "Campbell went out, you look after him."
The other end responded quickly, "Okay."
In the chief editor's office in the building of Wind-Runner Media Group...
The female chief editor, who was in her fifties, looked very well maintained like she was only around 35 years old. She was constantly on the phone, trying hard to explain to the person on the phone, "Yes, I understand. I will let them to delete the post now. Mrs. Barnett, don't worry about it, this is posted by the entertainment department so I really didn't notice it. You also know that we have hundreds news every
day."
แ
35
"No, no, no. I'm not shirking responsibility. You can rest assured that we will certainly investigate about the inaccurate reports. We will withdraw the news now."
After hanging up the phone, the female chief editor's face looked quite annoyed. She looked at her assistant, who was still standing there like a wooden statue, and made her even more furious. "What the hell is Hayden's background? Why will such small news have so many people circling her? Why am I receiving so many calls just because of her?"
Since the news about Hayden was exposed, calls had been coming in constantly. They were the largest media and newspaper group in the country. Normally, they would just ignore these calls. However, the everyone who called today were the big shots, which leave her no choice but to answer the phone calls personally.
First, it was the former president of the ST Group, the only son of the Beckham family, called to question about the news. Then it was followed by the AW's president, Cleveland, and the editor of the famous women's magazine, Vivi Magazine. Even the wife of the former director of the tax bureau came to ask about it and her tone was quite punchy.
The male assistant was also feeling apprehensive, he said softly, "The information said that she was the daughter of the Downey Group. She was not loved and adore. She had been abroad and lived alone for many years. Now that Downey Group is almost bankrupt, where did she get so many people to help her? Even Mr. Beckham of ST Group helped her to intercede?"
"Intercede?" The female editor's face sunk, "Is he trying to intercede? If it weren't on the phone, he would have stepped on my face! What's more, how on earth is she related to the tax bureau? Even Mr. Barnett, who has just been rehired to Beijing, is known to her?"
The male assistant was also very puzzled by this point, he cautiously said, "Then should we still withdraw the news?"
"Withdraw?" The female editor sneered, "Of course we will withdraw. We will withdraw when the heat reaches its peak tonight. Even if we have withdrawn, we will have the highest attention. The rest will stand no chance. These two days go and investigate Hayden. Find out who is she and why she has so many big shots helping her."
"Yes."
The male assistant sniffed a hint of gossip, "I'll arrange for a reporter to follow her."
The entertainment department of Wind-Runner was notoriously unafraid of power. Every time people came and questioned them, they would always promise them to follow their request, but this did not stop them from doing their things privately. Anyway, there were the top managers of the group to cover the trouble for them.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
