Chapter 358: Chapter 360: Trap
Qin Hao’s complexion changed slightly upon hearing the words, “I understand, I’m on my way over.”
He hadn’t expected the online public opinion to have such a significant impact on the actual company.
He had sowhat underestimated the fan effect.
After leaving the study, he inford Han ng and then drove towards the company.
As he was exiting the residential complex, Qin Hao saw many cars parked beside the entrance. As his car ca out, many individuals “click-clicked” their caras and snapped pictures.
If it weren’t for the complex’s restrictions against casual entry, these people might have been blocking the doorstep of Qin Hao’s ho.
Qin Hao frowned at the scene and took out his phone to call Li Bao while on the road, “After Leng Xuan and the others go back to work, have him bring so people over to Jianghai City.”
Li Bao: “Alright, Hao, I saw what’s happening online. If it really cos down to it, just leave it to .”
“Leave it to you? Do you have a solution?” Qin Hao asked in surprise.
Li Bao: “I’ll take care of all of them!”
Qin Hao: “Nonsense, just make sure my parents are protected. The online issue has had no small impact, and I will handle it.”
After hanging up the phone, Qin Hao drove to the underground parking lot of Dingfeng Building.
Taking the elevator up, he entered the company where many people were looking at him.
Qin Hao stopped and said in an even tone to those people, “If anyone wishes to resign, I can approve it imdiately.
But rember, anyone who leaves Jiangshan Roasted Duck on their own will never be rehired. You all should know this policy.”
After finishing, he went into the eting room, where Feng Xiangyi and the company’s senior managent were all sitting with furrowed brows.
Qin Hao took his seat at the head of the table and Feng Xiangyi spoke up, “Mr. Qin, we must take imdiate action.”
Qin Hao: “Mr. Feng, do you have a good course of action?”
Feng Xiangyi: “Contact Tianhai dia and Peng Jiekun himself to discuss terms for a resolution.”
Qin Hao: “Mr. Feng, you’ve seen the situation online. Even contacting them now is useless.
They never wanted to resolve this issue from the beginning. This public opinion battle only has two possible outcos.
Either I fall or they do, understand? Don’t bring up negotiations again, and don’t worry about the stuff online.
You just manage the company properly, I can solve the online issues.”
Feng Xiangyi could also see that the online public opinion was clearly pushed by paid posters.
And with stars and internet celebrities coming to help, it was obvious soone had bought them off.
This was a movent of capital behind the scenes, orchestrating everything.
Without guessing, Qin Hao knew who was behind this—Tang Group definitely played a part, and the Xiao Family couldn’t escape bla either.
Especially the Xiao Family and Tang Group, with their strong capabilities and trendous influence, they were capable of mobilizing those internet celebrities and stars.
Qin Hao continued to inquire: “How’s the company doing?”
Feng Xiangyi answered: “The revenue for each Jianghai store at noon was just over thirty thousand.
It was usually around fifty thousand at noon before. Fortunately, our company isn’t publicly traded, otherwise, the stock would’ve halted due to a plunge, vaporizing the market value.”
Qin Hao: “Mr. Feng, just keep the company stable, I’ll try to sort this out in the shortest ti possible.”
After the eting, Qin Hao returned to his office, turned on the computer, and logged onto the internet once more.
In just two hours, Qin Hao’s online followers had surged to five million seven hundred thousand, and they were still growing at a terrifying rate.
With every refresh, the followers would increase by nearly ten thousand.
The shares and comnts on his post had reached over four million, all of them insulting him, a rarity online; he was the first person to set this record.
Qin Hao then posted another ssage: “A thousand trials may strike, yet still I stand strong, let the winds blow from all directions.”
Jianghu Renwo Xiao was the first to comnt: “You, the big idiot, dare to speak up. What’s the worth in posting poetry?”
He had barely posted for a minute before comnts and shares had surpassed ten thousand.
“Boycott Jiangshan Roasted Duck, boycott Xinghui Wine.”
“The person above is right, boycott Jiangshan Roasted Duck, boycott Xinghui Wine, let his company go bankrupt, let him beco penniless.”
…
Under the guidance of those with ulterior motives, the direction of public opinion slowly began to change.
Initially, it was just a matter of a fight; many fans were simply trying to vent for Peng Jiekun, but now they had turned their focus towards Qin Hao’s company.
This was the real intention of so people behind the scenes.
At this mont, the top entertainnt star Jiang Feifei updated her social dia:
I just saw the incident where Jie Kun was beaten up, and to be honest, I’m very angry right now.
He is my protégé, kind-hearted and upright. He has sweated and worked hard for his dreams.
To prevent the situation from escalating, he didn’t fight back even though he was hit.
I just want to ask soone, who gave you the courage to hit soone in public?
You’re the boss of the Jiangshan Roasted Duck Company, as well as Xinghui Wine Industry, you’re worth billions, you’re very powerful.
But that doesn’t give you the capital to hit people; if you lack even the most basic respect for individuals, then you don’t deserve to be called a human.
I believe that society will bring justice for Jie Kun, and justice for everyone!
Who is Jiang Feifei?
A top star in the entertainnt industry, she beca famous early and has remained popular. Even now, her influence in the industry is still significant.
Even compared to Zhao Yuying, she is slightly ahead; they may be on par in terms of popularity, but when it cos to connections and depth, there’s a significant difference.
Her social dia has over seventy million followers, and though this post seems mild, it’s filled with deadly intent.
With the psychology of wealth envy, the moral high ground, and the last sentence that implicated everyone.
Qin Hao, upon seeing this, inwardly remarked on its sharpness—very incisive language.
It was obviously a prepared speech, just to strike a deadly blow to Qin Hao.
Justice, you all want justice?
Qin Hao’s lips curled into a cold smile, “Don’t rush, I’ll give justice to you all!”
I want to see how many more people are going to jump out.
If you jump out today, you won’t think of jumping back in later.
After Jiang Feifei made her post, many big-na celebrities who were friendly with her forwarded it and supported her.
Anyone who knows Jiang Feifei has very high popularity.
And so with lower popularity, wanting to leave an impression in her heart, also forwarded and supported her.
That afternoon, it could be said that nearly half the entertainnt industry was in battle against Qin Hao.
This was a lopsided fight, with millions of fans bombarding Qin Hao single-handedly.
Later, Zhao Yuying couldn’t help but post: The truth of the matter hasn’t co to light yet, I hope everyone can stay calm and not be used by people with ulterior motives.
“Can’t stop yourself from supporting Qin Hao now, huh? You two must have so dirty dealings in secret, right?”
“Being the spokeswoman for Jiangshan Roasted Duck and Xinghui Wine Industry, she must’ve already slept with Qin Hao.”
“So she’s a kept woman, that’s ****ing disgusting.”
It seed like people knew she was going to post her support for Qin Hao; instantly a large army of online trolls sward in, raining curses upon her.
Zhao Yuying was stunned, and so were her fans, because the opposition acted too swiftly.
Zhao Yuying wasn’t dumb; she instantly realized that she might have walked right into their trap.
