Chapter 720: Chapter 718: I’m Afraid This Won’t End Well

Niezuo, noting Pavel’s displeased expression, quickly changed the subject.

"Leader, there are several thorny issues that need your attention," he said. "Due to the film company scandal, many of our completed TV shows have been leaked. Several co-production companies are demanding compensation for their losses."

He wasn’t taking sides with Aleksey, Damir, or Vladimir; instead, he was worried Pavel’s anger might be directed at him.

After all, the three of them were in the hospital and couldn’t bear the brunt of Pavel’s wrath any longer.

Besides, the sums involved were substantial, and Niezuo was at a loss; he had no choice but to consult Pavel.

Pavel’s expression turned sour; he had only just complained to Lu Zhaozhao to spark the young maid’s protective instincts.

After all, only by feeling pity for someone does a relationship begin.

But he had no wish to encounter such a mess of issues.

Annoyed, Pavel furrowed his brows, "Leave this matter to the company’s public relations department to handle."

Niezuo tentatively continued, pressing his tongue against his molars, "Leader, I’m afraid public relations may have a tough time handling this. The collaborating companies have stated that if our company does not compensate them, they will take legal action. And... the revelations about our company are ironclad and cannot be whitewashed, and the public is already enraged. It’s not likely to be easily settled."

He hadn’t expected such a turn of events in Pavel’s companies.

Having done all sorts of dirty work under Pavel’s wing, doing something and having the public know you’ve done it were entirely different concepts.

If before many were deterred by Pavel’s intimidation from rebelling,

now, the tide of dissent was growing, drop by drop, into a sea.

Even the powerful Pavlov Family couldn’t fight the whole world; it was the same principle.

Now, the best strategy was to pin the blame on a few scapegoats, lay low, and try to suppress the trending topics online.

But for those film companies collaborating with the Pavlov Family... if they didn’t get their money, they’d never let it go quietly.

Especially now, with Pavel as the leader of the Pavlov Family, thrust into the limelight.

The public was waiting for his statement.

Niezuo felt that, while other matters could be managed, Pavel’s stance with the public and compensating the various companies were probably the trickiest.

Recently, their shipments had been hijacked, already resulting in financial losses.

If they also had to shell out a hefty sum in compensation to the film companies now, the Pavlov Family would hardly have any liquid assets left.

Pavel, ever calculating, narrowed his eyes, clearly understanding Niezuo’s implication.

He took a deep breath and said, "As for the compensation, instruct the public relations to follow up and assess the exact amount needed. As for the media, try to withdraw the trending topics as much as possible."

He paused then added, "If that’s not possible, find some other sensational news to divert public attention. The public relations team knows what to do."

"All right, leader," said Niezuo as he wiped the sweat off his forehead, relieved that Pavel hadn’t vented his frustration on him.

But thinking about the next report he had to give, the sweat beads on his forehead densified.

Niezuo cleared his throat, "Leader, there’s another matter..."

Pavel knew without a doubt there wouldn’t be any good news coming from Niezuo’s mouth.

Under normal circumstances, he would’ve immediately silenced Niezuo, but the current situation was different. If he didn’t listen, things could worsen.

So, Pavel had to swallow his irritation and said, staring directly at Niezuo, "Just how many more issues have you left unspoken? Speak all at once."

Upon hearing Pavel’s words, Niezuo let out a silent sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "There’s nothing else, just one more matter. About the last shipment that got double-crossed, the other side didn’t get their money and suspects that we might be deliberately sabotaging the partnership. So, they’ve decided to stop supplying us."

Pavel’s complexion became truly grim this time.

The Pavlov Family’s primary business was in the underworld.

The entertainment company was mainly a front to launder their money. Without their main business, there was no need for the entertainment company to exist.

Pavel massaged his temples and finally said, "Get me in touch with their person-in-charge; I want to meet with him personally."

"I’ve already negotiated with them, but they refuse to meet and even suspect we might be attempting to entrap them," Niezuo replied helplessly. This was his first time facing such a bizarre situation in his long tenure with the Pavlov Family.

However, the ordeal sparked a new thought in him. Was it really those young masters from the side branch behind this?

If so, they were practically cutting off their own path to survival.

The Pavlov Family’s fortunes rested on these dirty dealings, and if they tampered with it to climb the hierarchy, it was sheer folly.

For a moment, Pavel too was silent, for he’d never encountered such an infuriating situation.

Thinking this, he suddenly felt that merely hospitalizing those three was letting them off easy—they should be killed and hung on the wall as an example!

The idiocy of their actions was almost driving the Pavlov Family to ruin!

Niezuo could see Pavel’s irritation and tentatively asked, "Leader, will you still reach out to them?"

"Get in touch. Give me their contact; I will personally handle it," Pavel replied, downing the glass of whiskey on the table in one gulp.

He was utterly frustrated, as though frustration itself had flung open the door and settled in his home.

He had meant to find solace with the young maid, not to be overwhelmed with such vexing troubles.

Now, if the merchandise wasn’t recovered soon, the situation would only become more difficult to resolve.

And those so-called rising stars from the side branches needed a serious warning—it was time to make an example of them to teach the rest a lesson.

They should think twice before entertaining any internal schemes within the Pavlov Family.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhaozhao, having left Pavel’s study, had found Song Sinian.

With her entire face filled with panic, Song Sinian didn’t pry and quickly led Lu Zhaozhao away.

Fortunately, it was the end of the workday, and their departure wouldn’t draw any attention.

They retraced their steps back to the hotel without bringing any tails with them.

At Lu Zhaozhao’s request, Song Sinian had gathered the Xia Family members in the hotel room before returning, so upon entering, they saw the Xia Family sitting inside.
