After Director Zhang from the film and television department had left Xu Yixue’s office, Xu Yixue frowned and recalled the complete counterattack plan Xinghai Media had in place to deal with Heishui Corporation.
First, if Xinghai Media were to initially expose on the internet that five of its senior executives embezzled company finances and were suspected of financial fraud and coordinate with the relevant departments for arbitration against these five executives. By the time Heishui Corporation learned of this news, they would definitely find that releasing the information about the embezzlement of Xinghai Media’s finances and the suspected financial fraud by its executives would no longer hold much use.
Second, if Heishui Corporation were to strike against the defection incident of Xinghai Media’s contracted artists. At this time, it would be necessary for Xinghai Media’s Public Relations Department to vigorously publicize the news of Chen Shiyu signing with Xinghai Media, which could basically dilute the impact of the collective defection of Xinghai Media’s contracted artists.
Third, if Heishui Corporation were to resort to unconventional measures and wished to attack the various weaknesses of Xinghai Media, then they could have Luo Yongtai, the chairman of the Zhonghai Charity Association, start releasing Xinghai Media’s charity promotional films to boost its reputation. If this move were successful, it could potentially propel Xinghai Media even further ahead.
The current strategy could basically handle all the tactics from Heishui Corporation. Xu Yixue relaxed her brows, and the tension that originally gripped her heart finally found a hint of tranquility. All of Xinghai Media’s employees began to bustle with nervous activity today; every department was diligently coordinating their respective tasks without the slightest slack, because everyone at Xinghai Media knew the issues they were about to face were of paramount importance, concerning everyone’s future prospects.
As time ticked by, when it was nearly nine o’clock in the morning, Xu Yixue contacted Xu Hansheng from the legal affairs department.
“How are the preparations?” Xu Yixue asked.
“We’re fully prepared, just waiting for President Xu’s word,” Xu Hansheng replied with full confidence.
“Good, let’s get started,” Xu Yixue said, a determined look flashing in her eyes. Thinking about bringing down my Xinghai Media, did anyone ask me, Xu Yixue?
At eight fifty-five, Yan Country time, the legal authorities issued a statement on the investigation and arbitration of the embezzlement of company finances and suspected financial fraud by the executives of Xinghai Media. It was published on the official legal website of Yan Country. Xinghai Media reprinted it immediately, and major news media, upon seeing such a significant case of financial embezzlement and suspected fraud being monitored by officials, also joined in spreading the information. Within moments, it was the talk of television programs, major newspapers, and currently the hottest social media platforms.
An unknown economic expert on the internet, spewing vehement analysis, said, “Xinghai Media knows that one can’t wrap fire in paper, so it’s better to admit their mistakes early, hoping for some societal forgiveness, and for people to easily let Xinghai Media off the hook rather than fixating on the issue. Of course, I must admit, Xinghai Media does show responsibility, unlike some other companies that are afraid of their scandals leaking out. For companies willing to take responsibility, I’m quite supportive.”
As a result, the comments section of this unknown economic expert turned into a battleground of netizens.
“This expert is not a good person, criticizing the company while not daring to completely offend it. You get to say both good and bad things; if you ask me! The company is very responsible, willing to admit their management flaws. I support Xinghai Media,” netizen ‘Farmer’s Three Punches’ commented.
“Easy for you to say. If there’s a problem with the management, it’s because of poor management. Acting as if admitting mistakes will do any good – if Xinghai Media wasn’t under investigation, would it admit to having problems? In my opinion, this company should just go bankrupt. It deserves it,” netizen ‘Monk Who Loves Silky Hair’ commented.
“You guys are too superficial! It’s obvious that Xinghai Media is just a second-tier company without the advantages of top-tier companies, so it’s relying on this method to stir up attention and eyeballs. Even though legal authorities are involved, who knows what’s going on behind the scenes? Perhaps the company’s president saw a couple of executives he disliked and indiscriminately threw the blame on them, thereby showing Xinghai Media’s responsibility. Maybe some stars will see this responsibility and jump ship to join them!!!” netizen ‘Conspiracy Theory’s Number One Fan’ said.
“I’ll just quietly watch you show off,” netizen ‘Xi Yang Imprint of the Remaining Light’ commented.
“I heard the president of Xinghai Media is a big beauty~” netizen ‘Arrogance’ said.
“Is she more beautiful than my goddess Chen Shiyu? If it weren’t for my goddess Chen Shiyu retiring, I couldn’t care less. When will my goddess Chen Shiyu make her comeback, oh how I miss her!!!” netizen Yuchen commented.
……
Xu Yixue smiled faintly as she watched the netizens’ squabbles, showing a hint of a smile. Next, she would wait and see which step Heishui Corporation would take to strike at Xinghai Media.
Inside a luxuriously decorated office building on Wall Street in America, the top floor of this opulent building housed a massive 300-square-meter office, which was the headquarters of Heishui Corporation. A blond-haired man with blue eyes flipped over the desk before him.
“Shit, the information about the embezzlement of company finances and financial fraud by the executives of Yan Country’s Xinghai Media that we had has been leaked. Secretary, gather everyone for a meeting, you have five minutes. If the executives don’t show up, you’re fired too,” the American cursed and ordered.
Five minutes later, all the high-level executives of Heishui Corporation were assembled in a luxurious conference room.
“I’ve called you here to ask which one of you bastards leaked our plan to strike against the executives of Yan Country’s Xinghai Media for financial embezzlement and fraud. You better come clean, because if I find out who did it, you can wait to face the charge of treason in America and the wrath of Heishui Corporation! You bunch of stupid pigs!!!” the blond, blue-eyed foreigner said furiously, his face so angry it could cook an egg.
In a corner of the office, a man with a hooked nose frowned and thought to himself: I only discussed the plan against Yan Country’s Xinghai Media with Lisa this morning at seven. Could Xinghai Media of Yan Country have come up with a counterattack strategy so quickly? Although American law is not to be trifled with, and Heishui Corporation is not to be underestimated, he could not offend Lisa’s family either! That was a family whose word was law in America, and they could make him disappear in a minute! In that case, he might as well make the waters muddier so that Heishui Corporation couldn’t trace it back to him.
