Clark Group’s President office.
Jacob Clark urgently interrupted the Board of Directors meeting, his face solemn, and he quickly strode to his office. Behind him, his secretary, holding a notebook, jogged along to keep up with him.
As soon as he entered the office, Jacob Clark quickly sat down on the leather swivel chair, and asked in a deep tone, “What’s going on? Tell me again. In detail! ”
The secretary wiped the sweat from his forehead, caught his breath, and placed the notebook on Jacob’s desk, respectfully saying, “President Clark, this is the situation. Two hours ago, someone suddenly uploaded a recording on a forum, and also, in the identity of a third party, wrote about your… family affairs.”
“Continue.”
“The recording involves Ms. Clark. Enna has quite a following online, and she is now a popular model on the internet. So, there is a high level of attention online. Furthermore, it seems that someone has paid to hire some paid posters to intentionally spread the news. The spread volume of the news is huge, and almost all major websites have reprinted the article, and even set up special reports on it. What’s even more troubling is that in the recording, Ms. Clark brings up some remarks that are unfavorable to you, which have had an extremely negative impact on our company’s image. There hasn’t been any fluctuation in the stock market yet, but I’m afraid that if we let the news continue to ferment, our company’s stock price will fall.”
Jacob Clark’s face grew darker and darker.
The company was at a critical moment in its listing, and any little disturbance could lead to the failure of the listing.
If the listing failed, he would lose the bet agreement with the financial consortium.
His position as Chairman would be in jeopardy.
He would absolutely not allow anyone to make trouble for him at such a critical moment!
Jacob Clark clicked to read the news article, and then opened the recording.
Once the recording began, he already understood what was going on! Enna still had a copy of the recording in her possession, and she hadn’t handed the original over to the police!
Jacob Clark’s heart was filled with shock, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. He raised his head, his face ashen, and asked the secretary, “Is there still time to contact people to delete the news?”
“Well… President Clark, I’m afraid there’s not enough time. Even if we use our connections to have the portal websites delete the news, we can’t delete it from other places. Moreover, even if we delete it, the other party can still publish it again. Judging from their hiring of paid posters, this is definitely not a spontaneous decision. It should be a premeditated act by the other party.”
The secretary’s words essentially had two meanings. First, they didn’t have the power to completely control the situation and couldn’t suppress the news propagation. Second, the other party was doing it intentionally, and if they deleted the news, they were afraid that there would be more to come.
He was just speculating that there might be more to come, but Jacob Clark was very clear that the recording was not complete. This was just an appetizer. If the complete recording were to be released, it would definitely be shocking and scandalous!
Forget about the company’s plans for listing; the stock price and image would probably plummet to the bottom—
Jacob Clark was extremely agitated, removed his gold-rimmed glasses, and growled at his secretary, “I want to hear solutions! What solutions do you have to deal with this issue?”
The secretary thought to himself, ‘Isn’t it your daughter’s mess’, but he didn’t dare to show it on his face. He just stood there, hesitating and stammering, looking like he didn’t know what to do.
Jacob Clark was frustrated and flustered, he picked up his glasses, and stood up, saying, “Immediately have the public relations department suppress the news as much as possible! I am going home for a bit! If the media contacts us, just say I’m on a business trip out of town and it is not convenient to accept interviews!”
“Understood.” The secretary’s response was swift..
