Madam Li’s Identity Is Exposed Again! - Chapter 326
Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Chi Jianguo Starts to Panic
Chi Group CEO Office.
Chi Jianguo urgently interrupted the board meeting, walked toward his office with a stern face, followed closely by his secretary carrying a notebook, scurrying to keep up with him.
As soon as he entered the office, Jianguo rushed to sit down in the leather swivel chair and asked in a deep voice, “What’s the situation? Tell me again. In more detail!”
The secretary wiped the sweat from his forehead, caught his breath, placed the notebook on the office desk, and respectfully said, “President Chi, it’s like this. Two hours ago, someone suddenly posted a recording online, and as a third party, wrote about your… home affairs.”
“Continue.”
“This recording involves Miss Chi, and Miss Chi is quite popular online, now a hot model on the Internet. Therefore, the level of attention online is quite high. Moreover, it seems someone spent money deliberately hiring internet trolls, so the news spread is massive. Nearly all major websites have reposted the article, and they’ve even set up special reports on it. What’s more troubling is that Miss Chi mentioned some things in the recording that are quite unfavorable to you, which has had an extremely negative impact on our company’s image. Stocks haven’t fluctuated yet, but if we let this news ferment further, I’m afraid our company’s stock will fall.”
Chi Jianguo’s expression grew increasingly grim.
The company was at a critical stage of going public, and any little disturbance could lead to the failure of the listing.
If the listing failed, his bet agreement with the financial syndicate would be lost.
His position as Chairman was also in jeopardy.
He absolutely would not allow anyone to cause trouble at such a critical time!
Chi Jianguo opened the news and then played the recording.
Once he heard it, he understood what was going on! Chi Enen had actually kept a copy of the recording, she hadn’t handed the original over to the police!
Chi Jianguo felt a storm surge within him, veins throbbing on his forehead. He furrowed his brows and, with an ashen face, looked up and asked the secretary, “Can we still get the news deleted now?”
“That… President Chi, I’m afraid it’s too late. Even if we use our connections to have the portal websites take down the news, we can’t remove it from other places. And even if we delete it, they can still post it again. Judging by their hiring of internet trolls, this is definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather a premeditated action by the other party.”
The secretary’s words translated to two things. First, they did not have the power to cover the sky and stop the spread of the news. Second, the other party did it deliberately, and deleting it might provoke them to release more.
While he only speculated there was more to come, Chi Jianguo knew very well that the recording was not complete. This was just the appetizer; if the complete version were released, it would be absolutely shocking!
The company would not just fail to list, but its stocks and image might plummet to rock bottom—
Chi Jianguo, extremely agitated, took off his gold-rimmed glasses and, growling at the secretary, said, “I want to hear solutions! What ideas do you have for resolving this?”
The secretary internally complained ‘it’s your daughter’s mess,’ but dared not show a hint of it on his face, just stood there hesitantly, looking unsure of what to do.
Chi Jianguo, restless and frustrated, picked up his glasses and stood up, saying, “Get the Public Relations Department to suppress this news story immediately, as much as they can! I’m going home for a bit! If the media asks, say I’m on a business trip out of town, and it’s inconvenient for me to accept interviews!”
“Understood.” The secretary responded promptly.
