Chapter 270: Chapter 269 Pressure

"President Liu, please explain what exactly is the issue here? Why are you withholding employees’ wages?"

The journalists crowded outside the lobby of Tianyun International, microphones jostling against each other, as if they could just stuff them into Liu Tianyun’s mouth.

Behind them, the shouts of Tianyun International’s workers and employees denouncing Liu Tianyun were still loud.

Liu Tianyun’s face looked terrible, and she responded coldly, "I have not withheld employees’ wages. The 15th is the normal payday. As I have stated in the email, everyone’s wages will be paid before off-duty, that is, before 6 PM."

"President Liu, please explain why you are withholding employees’ wages? This money might not mean much to you, but for these over two thousand employees under you, it’s money for their meals!"

The journalists completely ignored Liu Tianyun’s words and continued asking on their own accord, even having a tone of "denouncing" Liu Tianyun.

By now, Liu Tianyun could clearly see these journalists were invited by White Impermanence, specially targeting her.

Liu Tianyun’s gaze suddenly turned cold, her eyes seemed to hold an ancient ice maiden from a polar abyss, causing chills to run down people’s spines.

The journalists shivered involuntarily, then steadied themselves and continued to ask, "President Liu, the issue of owed wages won’t be resolved just by glaring at us. You must show a problem-solving attitude, or how will these over two thousand employees live and support their families next month?"

Liu Tianyun took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart, and ignored the reporters, moving aside.

Seeing this, Su Qingqing quickly stepped forward, smiling as she said to the reporters, "Hello, I am Su Qingqing, Head of Sales Department at Tianyun International. Our president never intended to withhold pay..."

Upon hearing her last sentence, the journalists completely ignored her, returning directly to their respective platforms below the company steps in front of the live cameras to begin introducing the scene.

"Hello everyone, this is Xiaoxue, a PILIPILI live reporter. Currently bringing you a live broadcast of ’Tianyun International’s Wage Withholding Incident,’ why are two thousand employees gathering below the company to denounce an unscrupulous boss? Is it the degeneration of humanity or the distortion of morality..."

After finishing their opening lines, the journalists systematically passed their microphones to Deng Kai.

Deng Kai wiped away "distressed" tears and said, "It’s both the degeneration of humanity and the distortion of morality! Our company’s newly launched batch of movies, because of weak competitiveness, were ignored, leading to a break in the company’s capital chain, and we absolutely can’t pay employees’ wages. Without wages, how can we live? We can’t even pay rent or buy infant formula! Liu Tianyun just said she would issue the salaries by this evening, that’s all deceiving us, deceiving the vast online audience. In fact... she might be planning to flee!"

"What!!!"

The journalists all gasped in "shock," then drew back their microphones, turning towards the live cameras with looks of "indignation," seemingly empathizing with Tianyun International’s workers, and began to condemn Liu Tianyun to the netizens, accusing her of the vile act of wage withholding.

For a moment, netizens across the country were in an uproar, attacking Liu Tianyun, the "unscrupulous boss," with a barrage of keyboard strikes.

Watching this scene, Su Qingqing was filled with rage, wanting nothing more than to rush down and smash those journalists’ cameras and microphones into pieces.

These journalists were clearly reporting selectively, surely paid by the black hand behind this, that is, White Impermanence!

Amidst the anger, Su Qingqing couldn’t help but reveal a trace of bitterness at the corner of her mouth.

The situation... probably has no turning point now.

Everything, all of it, had been calculated precisely by White Impermanence.

Tianyun International, very likely... is truly going to be taken by him...

Ma Lingling and a group of guiding executives looked at each other with eyes full of amusement, almost bursting into laughter on the spot.

Liu Tianyun is completely cornered by Young Master White, haha!

"Woo woo—woo woo—"

The sound of long police sirens was heard.

Upon hearing that around two thousand people had gathered to strike, police officers from the nearby station promptly rushed over.

After all, with two thousand people gathered together, if any stampede or accident happened, the leaders of Celestial Sea would be in big trouble.

Five police cars parked on the roadside, and twenty officers descended, coming to the front of the employee crowd.

Just about to ask what was going on, they fell silent.

The employees’ continuous accusations against Liu Tianyun already explained the situation clearly.

Debt of wages?

Could Liu Tianyun, a model entrepreneur in Celestial Sea City, possibly be withholding her employees’ wages?

Station Chief Li couldn’t help but feel ashamed.

He thought it was a big issue, but this matter, though not huge, was also not small...

Station Chief Li took the loudspeaker from his deputy, shouting to the crowd, "Everyone, calm down, let me say a few words!"

The words of the police still carried weight, and the crowd quieted quickly.

"Cough. Cough."

Clearing his throat, Station Chief Li continued, "Regarding the issue of unpaid wages, I will inquire with President Liu about the specifics, please remain calm!"

"What situation is there to ask about? We want nothing else, just the wages we are owed!" Deng Kai shouted, raising his arm.

"Yes! Get our wages back!"

The crowd roared again.

"Please give us police officers some time to investigate. If the issue of wage withholding does exist, the police will help you claim your wages, rest assured!" Station Chief Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, trying again to soothe the crowd.

Deng Kai noticed Ma Lingling’s suggestive glance and nodded slightly.

In fact, even without Ma Lingling’s hint, he understood the principle of knowing when to stop, especially in front of the police.

"Thank you, police officers, please be sure to investigate seriously and give our vast labor community a notice!" Deng Kai shook hands with Station Chief Li, then gestured for the crowd to stop shouting.

Once the shouting ceased, Station Chief Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning around, he instructed his subordinates to keep the crowd in order, strictly preventing any safety incidents, then headed to the Tianyun International lobby.

"President Liu, what... what is this situation? Did you really withhold your employees’ salaries?" Arriving before Liu Tianyun, Station Chief Li tentatively asked.

Liu Tianyun did not hesitate and immediately replied, "I did not withhold salaries. I only sent an email saying today’s salary distribution might be delayed. I have no idea how they gathered here to denounce me."

"Is that so..."

Station Chief Li nodded in sudden comprehension.

Even if Liu Tianyun did withhold employee salaries, he could only mediate in this matter. If Liu Tianyun refused mediation, he could do nothing, as the matter fell under the jurisdiction of the labor bureau.

But with Liu Tianyun having no intention of withholding wages, the issue would be easier to resolve.

Station Chief Li once again breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "President Liu, so... would it be convenient for you to distribute the wages now? You see, with over two thousand people gathered, if a stampede or fight breaks out, both the police and the city would be in a difficult position."

Distribute the wages now?

Liu Tianyun’s face turned a deep shade of blue.

As Deng Kai and others said, the company’s capital chain was broken, not a single cent of wages could be distributed.

As per Ye Huan’s timeline, a frenzy for the newly listed batch of shadows would start at nine this morning, and various channels would begin returning funds around four in the afternoon, allowing for the distribution of employee wages at that time.

"Sorry, it’s temporarily not possible to distribute." Liu Tianyun resolutely replied.

"Huh?" Station Chief Li was dumbfounded, asking, "Why not? Wouldn’t it be better to distribute now if possible?"

Liu Tianyun maintained a cold face, not responding.

She didn’t respond...

A voice did the responding for her.

"Why? Because she can’t pay!"
