Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk! Chapter 315 Suppressing Public Opinion

The business magnates gathered together for tea and a show, appearing very leisurely.

Yet Li Changsheng felt utterly overwheld.

However, he was not about to resign himself to fate.

He had thods to deal with such problems.

If he didn't have any strategies, how could he possibly have grown his business so large in the internet era?

With his mind racing, Li Changsheng quickly thought of a plan and said to Li Zicheng, "The employees must already know about the news. You go and calm their emotions first. I'll pull so strings, and everything will be smoothed over soon."

"Okay." Li Zicheng left.

Li Changsheng closed his eyes, considering his words, before opening them again, picking up his phone, and dialing a number.

The call connected quickly.

Li Changsheng imdiately said, "Director Du..."

The other party cut him off instantly, "President Li, how many tis have I told you not to call that on the phone? Call 'boss'!"

Li Changsheng laughed at that mont, recognizing the nature of these people, so he laughingly said, "Haha, okay, I was a bit anxious and forgot, sorry about that, Boss Du. Here's the thing, the news about my company is causing quite a stir. You must have seen it, right? These TV stations are really crossing the line.

It was just a minor issue, and they're wildly reporting on it based on so dubious information. Isn't this making things difficult for private enterprises like ours that contribute to local employnt?"

Boss Du laughed, "It is a bit much. Private enterprises aren't easy to run. We should be supporting and protecting them, not criticizing and undermining them. Making mistakes is not the end; correcting them is what matters. To fixate on errors and even call for a company's downfall is harsh. It would dishearten private entrepreneurs.

Don't worry, I'll issue a verbal order to pull those news stories imdiately."

"Okay, thank you, Boss Du." Li Changsheng sighed with relief.

After ending the call, Li Changsheng thoughtfully formulated his words and dialed another number.

The call connected quickly.

Before Li Changsheng could speak, he heard a hearty laugh, "Haha, President Li, it's been a while since we've connected. How have you been lately?"

Li Changsheng's face soured, and he retorted with a huff, "Boss Feng, what exactly is going on? We've been cooperating so well. You once promised that you wouldn't publish any news unfavorable to our company. But look, your journalists are the most enthusiastic. The articles they've posted... they've already tarnished my company's reputation."

Boss Feng replied with a laugh, "President Li, you have to understand . Our platform has always adhered to the principles of fairness and objectivity, exclusively serving the common people..."

Without waiting for him to finish, Li Changsheng interjected, "Three million!"

"I'll have them remove the news imdiately!" Boss Feng changed his tone on the spot, "President Li, you must be very busy. Let help you touch base with the other dia? I won't charge you a penny!"

Li Changsheng smiled faintly, "Boss Feng, I don't really understand dia matters. I indeed need your help. But it isn't right not to charge for services. I can't let you spend your own money on my behalf. Here's what we'll do: I'll set a budget of two million per agency. Whatever you negotiate is yours to keep, anything extra is yours."

Upon hearing this, Boss Feng's smile grew even brighter, "Okay, President Li, rest assured, I'll take care of it well for you."

After hanging up, Boss Feng didn't imdiately make another call but instead lit a cigarette and leisurely smoked.

A few minutes later, after checking his shell company account and seeing an additional three million, he snuffed out the cigarette, picked up his phone, and started dialing one number after another.

"Old Guo, remove the news about Changsheng Furniture, one million six hundred thousand is the ceiling price. With your fan base, that's the price."

"Old Zhou, delete the news about Changsheng Furniture, one million three hundred thousand. Old Guo's fan base is even larger than yours, and I'm giving you the sa deal of one million three hundred thousand, which is really quite fair."

"Old Chen, that's the final offer, one million, I really can't go higher!"

As he made his calls one by one.

News about Changsheng Furniture Company started to disappear from the internet at a visibly swift pace.

An article with a hundred thousand reads and thousands of comnts disappeared upon refreshing.

Looking at the news on other dia accounts, it was noted that they too had been deleted.

It seed as if these dia outlets had, at the sa ti, removed the news about Changsheng Furniture and replaced it with other trending stories.

This left the netizens who were following the event utterly dumbfounded.

What was going on?

How could such a hot topic disappear all of a sudden?

So posted inquiries, but there were hardly any responses.

So felt sothing was off and voiced their skepticism about the matter, only to be warned by the site administrators for disrupting online order, and even had their accounts banned.

A potential cyberstorm of public opinion was thus forcefully suppressed.

The sa was true for major television stations.

They were originally broadcasting news about Changsheng Furniture Company just fine.

Then, the screen switched, and other news items were broadcasted instead.

The expressions of the news anchors didn't change at all, a testant to their utmost professionalism.

...

Only after seeing the news suppressed did Li Changsheng heave a sigh of relief.

He had managed to withstand the onslaught launched by Yang Xin Investnts.

Next, it would be seen whether Yang Xin Investnts had any other moves up their sleeve.

At that mont, Li Zicheng ca over, smiling happily, "Dad, you're incredible. You've cracked Yang Xin Investnts' successive attacks in no ti."

Li Changsheng took a sip of tea, a smug smile on his face, "Of course, I've been a power player in the business world for over twenty years. Not just any greenhorn can bring down."

The business tycoons paying attention to this matter imdiately understood what was going on.

"Li Changsheng has struck back, and what a countermove it was, instantly suppressing the news."

"Heh, Li Changsheng, an old-school mogul, has dominated the business world for so many years; if he didn't have the skills, he would've been devoured long ago."

"Now, we'll see how Yang Xin Investnts will make their move."

"Manipulating public opinion isn't hard to counter. Yang Xin Investnts must have anticipated this. I look forward to their next move."

"Currently, Changsheng Furniture has suffered a bit of reputation damage and spent so money to suppress the news, which are like superficial wounds. Far from bringing down Changsheng Furniture, maybe Yang Xin Investnts is preparing a major strike."

Several of Haicheng's business tycoons gathered in a tea house for a chat.

Not long after, one of the tycoons received a phone call, and his expression turned a bit odd.

A business tycoon asked, "What's the matter, Boss ng?"

Boss ng replied, "I just got a piece of news. A leader from the television administration with the last na Du was just taken away by the disciplinary departnt."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the tycoons all shifted.

The television administration oversees all of Hua Xia's major radio stations.

Although Boss ng only ntioned the leader's last na, Du, without giving the full na, everyone knew who it was.

This Mr. Du indeed had issues, which anyone well-inford knew about.

However, he was cunning in his actions and kept his hands clean.

The disciplinary departnt hadn't been able to grasp any evidence against him and was thus unable to deal with him.

Now that he had been taken away by the disciplinary departnt, it was clear that they had caught him red-handed.

A tycoon asked, "Boss ng, what was the reason?"

After taking a sip of tea, Boss ng replied, "Abuse of power."

The fact that he had been taken away by the disciplinary departnt for abuse of power ant that the transgressions were significant.

The tycoons looked at each other, at a loss.

A business tycoon pressed, "Boss ng, stop beating around the bush and tell us the specifics."

With a smile, Boss ng said, "You must have already guessed it. Yes, it was him who ordered the press-down on the news about Changsheng Furniture at the television stations, and the disciplinary departnt got evidence of it!"
