Chapter 192: Would you say that counts as education or not?_4
For instance, the South Mountain goose is involved in various industries; by contrast, Meitian is only somewhat known in the mobile gaming sector. So, what exactly has been uncovered so far?
...
It was already noon, and Cao Deli, the boss of Meitian Company, was still in a meeting at the office.
The previous incident had indeed caused trouble, something he had never anticipated, and it could only be said that Tang Fangjing was genuinely a bit spooky.
As for the previous arrest of the public relations firm's boss, he had already inquired with some people and was told it was no big deal, the investigation pretty much ended there.
The company had a standard relationship with the public relations firm, hiring a professional company to handle negative internet sentiments, which every company does, so there wouldn't be a problem.
Nowadays, there are a lot of mutual blackening online, but that doesn't seem to lead to anything.
However, it's Tang Fangjing who is really annoying, there's just no good way to deal with him for the time being.
But just then, Cao Deli suddenly heard the sound of police sirens outside and immediately frowned, saying, "What's going on?"
Director Fang's expression inside the meeting room was not looking good, and just as he was about to say something, someone came in and said, "President Cao, the police have arrived, they say… they want President Guo to go back to the station to assist in the investigation!"
What? Cao Deli immediately said, "What's the situation? Why should anyone go back for an investigation?"
His face showed dissatisfaction, but that was all. After all, Meitian Company was a major taxpayer, and it was especially damaging for the police to come directly to take someone away in such circumstances.
"Forget it, I'll make a call to ask. With such a big scene to arrest someone, is the company still supposed to function?"
However, just then, the door to the meeting room was pushed open, and the leading police officer came in, saying, "President Cao, please hold on a moment, we have a summons here, so everyone, please cooperate with our work."
"Who is Meitian's public relations director, Guo Qiwen?"
The PR director was already pale with fright but could only stand up and say, "Yes, I am the PR director."
"Then come here and sign this."
As he watched the PR director go up to sign, Cao Deli's face turned dark. As a businessman, he feared this kind of situation the most; making a spectacle of arresting people, even if it ended up being nothing, would still impact the business.
But the police weren't finished. They said, "And you, President Cao, you have to come with us too, here's the summons."
Upon hearing this, Cao Deli, who had until that point been quite collected, suddenly changed his expression, looked carefully at the summons, and without asking why, simply nodded and said, "Fine, I'll go with you." Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire
Once a summons is issued, the meaning is completely different, indicating that the police were specifically targeting Meitian.
But what exactly happened, and why did they come to arrest people at Meitian all of a sudden!
Cao Deli felt chilled to the core; he wasn't even allowed to make a phone call. What on earth was the reason?
The afternoon arrived, and a bombshell suddenly exploded online!
"Extra, extra, several executives of Meitian Company taken for questioning, reason unknown!"
This news appeared out of the blue like a bomb, leaving the online spectators totally bewildered.
"What's going on? What happened to Meitian and Tang Fangjing, wasn't it all over? Why were they suddenly taken away?"
"Yeah, I'm also curious, what exactly is the situation, what did I miss?"
"It must be related to the rhythm-setting incident from a while back, Tang Fangjing suddenly got blackened, then he wrote that article, so were those internet trolls hired by Meitian? That doesn't make sense, would a company like Meitian need to hire internet trolls?"
"To the person above, how naive are you—do you think those five-star reviews for games are from real people? These days how many people bother to leave comments on their own, of course there are paid trolls..."
And amidst such an atmosphere, Ju Haiqing was absolutely thrilled.
"Come on, those previously saying Tang Fangjing overestimated himself, why don't you show yourselves? The people have been taken away by the police, what do you say now, who was overestimating themselves?"
So satisfying, truly satisfying. He had never expected to be part of such an event, especially one that started simply because he wanted three hundred and twenty yuan...
On the other side, Du Junfeng was utterly dumbfounded by the news online.
He hurriedly called Tang Fangjing, saying, "Lawyer Tang, Lawyer Tang, have you seen the news? A good number of Meitian's executives seem to have been arrested!"
Old Tang's voice came through the phone, "I've seen it, that's exactly the outcome I wanted. Isn't the money you all are owed not yet executed? With part of the company's executives locked up, it'll be easier to enforce."
"Wait and see, I am applying for compulsory execution at the internet court today, it should be quick."
Huh... what? Du Junfeng looked bewildered, muttering to himself, "So your solution was to get the company executives locked up?"
"It's not quite that… it's a bit..."
Try as he might, Du Junfeng couldn't quite articulate his thoughts. He had encountered lawyers before, but never one like this; the tactics were truly outrageous.
"Just tell me if it's been resolved. Enough talk, I've got things to do."
After hanging up, Old Tang once again turned to the news, a smile appearing on his face. His speculation had been correct, and this time the blow had been even more severe than he'd expected.
Normally hiring internet trolls isn't a crime; it's only the trolls themselves who can be considered criminals. But hiring trolls to attack others, causing public disorder, that's a problem.
