Chapter 664: Chapter 664: Turning the Tide (4)

An Yiqing smiled softly and spoke in a hushed tone, "Grandpa Duan, the reason Xiao Qing has come to see you today is indeed to ask a favor of you..."

...

On the fourth day after the incident with Xuanjin Yu Jade, there was a noticeable shift in online comments. Prominent media personalities started tossing out the information they had acquired, displaying it in full view for all netizens.

Staring at the rows of numbers and accounts on their screens, those who understood company operations were all dumbfounded.

Just as everyone was recovering from their astonishment, major television stations dropped bombshells that turned the already rough waters into a tempest.

First came the most authoritative Xuanjin Television Station One, which aired a short video. The footage was a bit gloomy, but through some high-definition technology, the spoken content could be made out—it was none other than a discussion on how to target Xuanjin Yu Jade and how to set them up!

To everyone’s shock, the two conversing individuals in the video were none other than Fulin Group’s Chairman Wang Jianwen’s secret technique Xie Li and a collaborator of Xuanjin Yu Jade!

This collaborator was a key figure in the incident, as it was he who took the lead in testifying the "fact" that Xuanjin Yu Jade had been producing and selling fakes!

Subsequently, other regional television stations broadcasted one after another, revealing more compelling information and evidence.

Soon after, major online forums erupted into a fury over the incident.

By now, even the most confused and angry among them had come to understand!

Fulin Group’s Chairman Wang Jianwen, in cahoots with others, had framed Xuanjin Yu Jade, deceiving the general public and using them as his pawns!

As a result, the people were enraged, utterly dissatisfied with Wang Jianwen and Fulin Group’s deceit and the vile methods used to frame them.

And so, Fulin Group was subjected to an even more frightening rage than what Xuanjin Yu Jade had previously endured!

Apart from the collective condemnation on the internet, Fulin Group’s Chairman Wang Jianwen was subjected to a mass doxxing by netizens, who dredged up all the sordid acts he had ever committed, uncovering each and every one of them. Affairs such as the notorious unwritten rules and the mistreatment of innocent employees were all exposed.

For a time, Fulin Group was everyone’s target!

Some incensed citizens even went so far as to take eggs to the Fulin Building to corner and pelt Wang Jianwen and Xie Li, leaving them with lumps all over their heads! If it weren’t for the security guards’ intervention, Wang Jianwen might be lying in a hospital right now!

In just over a day, the crisis Xuanjin Yu Jade faced turned around as if by magic!

The employees who had been working non-stop in Xuanjin Yu Jade’s building over the past few days watched the enormous change within twenty-four hours in stunned silence, struggling to process it all. They had braced themselves for being egged, for being hounded by reporters, and even for the company being shut down, but how... did they just get through it? Was it all over just like that?

Their minds were filled with questions, and they admired Liao Jinglin, the General Manager of Xuanjin Yu Jade, for his crisis management skills to the point of worship.

Yet, unbeknownst to them, everything had been quietly manipulated by a pair of delicate, slender hands.

Fulin Building, top-floor office.

"Bang! Crash!"

The loud sound of porcelain shattering reverberated through the office, while the corridor outside was eerily quiet, as secretaries and assistants had all fled.

"How could this happen? How could this be?!"

Inside the room, Wang Jianwen paced back and forth with his hands on his hips. His chubby, balding face was covered in sweat—whether from heat or fear was uncertain.

The Chairman’s secretary Xie Li stood quietly to one side, not daring to breathe heavily for fear of inadvertently provoking Wang Jianwen’s ire.

At that moment, both of their faces bore hints of disgrace. The egg yolk thrown by the citizens had been washed off, but purplish and greenish bruises remained on their faces.

"How could this happen? How could Liao Jinglin have such influence? Where on earth did he get all these accounts from? Is he insane? What did he keep all these records for?!"

Wang Jianwen roared as he paced back and forth incessantly.

He couldn’t believe that such seemingly insignificant, messy accounts from ordinary company dealings turned out to be the key to Xuanjin Yu Jade’s comeback!

Which company doesn’t engage in tax evasion? Is Liao Jinglin an idiot? Does he think he’s making too much money?

Wang Jianwen simply couldn’t understand—how could Liao Jinglin not feel the pain of paying all those taxes every year?

Of course, he would never realize that besides unavoidable costs like labor, the money wasted by Xuanjin Yu Jade on purchasing raw materials was minimal.

Watching Wang Jianwen’s fury grow and his rationality diminish, Xie Li, who had been statuesque up till now, could no longer hold back.

"Ch-Chairman! There’s no use getting angry now. The most important thing at the moment is to resolve the crisis," Xie Li said, offering a clear analysis, "Although the media has exposed some of your past deeds, thankfully, they are mainly unspoken rules and nothing that can’t be fixed. With the right PR handling, maybe there’s a chance of recovery." Xie Li racked his brains, scouring every thought, and reluctantly presented a desperate idea.

"Crisis management? With the situation as it is now, who dares undertake this crisis management?!" Wang Jianwen’s voice grew louder instead of calming at Xie Li’s suggestion, "Even if those damn women’s issues aren’t serious, coercion into sexual relations is rape! How am I supposed to focus on crisis management now? No! You stay here and handle things, I’ve got to go out! Stay here, don’t you leave!"

With that, Wang Jianwen frantically grabbed his coat from the couch and scrambled out of the office.

Whom was he going to find, and what was he planning to do?
