Chapter 947: Chapter 520: Apology Not Sincere, Direct Closure for Rectification (Seeking Subscriptions)

"Bastard! Good-for-nothing! How could you tell me only now! You bunch of incompetents!"

In Chen Xueming’s office.

After receiving a call, his younger brother Chen Xuejun immediately let loose a string of curses, because the call was from a staff member at Huangcheng Forest Farm, informing Chen Xuejun that a team of journalists from NTS had visited recently.

At the same time.

Chen Xueming also received a message from the head of the public relations department at Q Entertainment Media, saying that NTS was currently reporting on the situation at Huangcheng Forest Farm.

Subsequently.

Chen Xueming switched on the TV to see for himself.

Indeed! The live coverage was underway, and even Chen Xueming couldn’t help but be stunned by what he saw.

Because neither Chen Xueming nor Chen Xuejun could have ever anticipated that this matter would attract the attention of the official media, and it was NTS no less.

"You’re all fired, a bunch of good-for-nothings!"

After saying this angrily, Chen Xuejun hung up the phone, then turned his head, just in time to see NTS broadcasting live news about Huangcheng Forest Farm.

The most crucial part was.

Right then, the news was mentioning that Jiangjiu Group, their own company, was the contractor for Huangcheng Forest Farm.

Once this news got out, it essentially informed everyone in Xia Country that the logging and burning of trees at Huangcheng Forest Farm was the doing of their Jiangjiu Group.

Chen Xuejun was utterly furious.

Because he had just spent ninety-five million on PR costs to quell the buzz created by Mist City Arts and Science University, and now you’re telling me that NTS has already uncovered and reported on this?

At this point, as soon as there was official news coverage, even if they wanted to manage the situation through PR, it would basically be impossible!

"How did NTS find out? Did Mist City Arts and Science University directly provide NTS with news leads and materials?"

Chen Xueming was perplexed.

But Chen Xueming thought about it; although Mist City Arts and Science University had some substance, to think that an institution of its social status and influence could actually get in contact with NTS?

That was simply inconceivable.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it all!"

At this moment, Chen Xuejun was so infuriated he felt like his lungs were about to explode, almost spitting blood with rage—the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Younger brother, I’m afraid... I’m afraid we are powerless to turn this around now, especially since NTS has already reported on it. I believe the relevant departments will definitely take notice immediately,"

Chen Xueming said helplessly, shaking his head to his younger brother Chen Xuejun, "Even if our Q Entertainment Media is powerful, facing a situation like this, there’s no way to manage it. We have to operate within the rules, you understand what I mean."

Although Q Entertainment Media’s public relations capabilities were very strong, known domestically as unparalleled.

In Xia Country, no matter what the PR situation, it had to be dealt with within the rules, otherwise it would be unmanageable.

"I know, but big brother, what about the two payments I made earlier? Won’t they have been a waste?"

The more Chen Xuejun thought about it, the angrier he got, especially when he remembered spending ninety-five million on PR fees; he felt as though his body was rocked by surging anger, and he was on the verge of spitting up blood.

"Regarding this matter, we can discuss it with Twitter and the Words Group, after all, we weren’t able to suppress the issue in the end, so we should be able to negotiate the price."

Chen Xueming also wanted to prevent further losses for his younger brother Chen Xuejun, after all, it was about ninety-five million.

He initially thought that after spending the ninety-five million, everything would be smooth sailing, and they would have nothing to worry about, but who could have expected that NTS would go on to directly report the news on Huangcheng Forest Farm.

"This is infuriating!"

At this point, Chen Xuejun’s face was red with rage.

"Younger brother, what you should be considering now is how to resolve this matter,"

Chen Xueming seriously said to his younger brother Chen Xuejun.

"Then, big brother, what should I do now? It has already been exposed by NTS, by today at most, the whole of Xia Country will know!"

Chen Xuejun said helplessly.

"You must prepare to apologize with Jiangjiu Group. For this kind of issue, once you apologize, everything else can be negotiated,"

Chen Xueming immediately suggested.

Chen Xueming was very experienced in this area; after all, quite a few entertainers under Q Entertainment Media had been subject to controversy, but controversies were not a big deal, as long as they had strong PR. Once the entertainers apologized and they managed some PR, setting the tone and such, those entertainers could basically be cleared of the mess.

"Yes, yes, yes, let’s apologize first. As long as our apology is timely, the public criticism won’t catch up with us,"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuejun immediately nodded in agreement.

Then Chen Xuejun made a phone call straight to the PR department of his own Jiangjiu Group.

Although Jiangjiu Group’s PR department was not as formidable as his brother Chen Xueming’s Q Entertainment Media, crafting an apology statement would be no problem.

"Immediately draft an apology statement regarding Huangcheng Forest Farm and release it through the official channels of Jiangjiu Group!"

Chen Xuejun instructed.

"Alright, Mr. Chen!"

...

After NTS broadcast live coverage of the Huangcheng Forest Farm incident, netizens across Xia Country became aware of this news event, and various official and local media outlets also began reporting one after another.
