10pm. Hai Rui's CEO's office was still brightly lit.
Although it was Fang Yu's wedding, as soon as he heard that Hai Rui was in trouble, he returned to Beijing with Huo Jingjing as soon as the wedding ended. As expected, as soon as he arrived at Hai Rui, he realized Mo Ting had not returned home from work.
Mo Ting lifted his head to look at Fang Yu. His voice remained deep, "Why did you come back?"
"Uh …" Looking at Mo Ting's expression, he didn't seem the least bit anxious. So, Fang Yu rubbed his forehead helplessly, "I thought the problem was a little tricky... but from the looks of it, you don't seem to be in a hurry. Since you have a solution, why don't you go home?"
"Do I not look like I'm in a hurry?" Mo Ting asked.
Through Mo Ting's eyes, Fang Yu finally understood. Mo Ting simply wanted to pretend to be anxious so the board of directors could hold an emergency meeting. Opportunities like this to clean up the company didn't come by often. Since it was delivered to their doorstep, they had to make good use of it.
"What's the plan?"
"Give him a taste of his own medicine!" Mo Ting answered Fang Yu's question with one simple sentence.
So, the netizens assumed that Hai Rui would step out to apologize and take responsibility for the incident. But, they never considered how Hai Rui would take responsibility for a fight between fans.
The netizens also thought Tangning would step out to admit her mistake and try to ease the tense atmosphere. But, in reality, this incident had nothing to do with Tangning. Since Manager Mo did not say anything, there was no need for her to step out. After all, Tang Fans had always been wronged.
If she really stood up, she would be admitting that it was her fans' fault.
So, the PR news that Hai Rui released overnight only contained one sentence...
He had already called the police, and the police would be involved in the investigation. They needed to figure out the cause and effect of the matter, whether it was good or evil, right or wrong, and would go through the legal process.
As soon as the article was released, Yue fans immediately protested. They felt the truth was already clear enough and Hai Rui was simply trying to avoid responsibility.
Meanwhile, some people felt that Hai Rui's actions weren't wrong. The Yue fans were indeed hurt, but the Tang fans weren't any better off either. The fight had always been the fault of both parties, so it was unfair to force the other party to apologize. So, calling the police was the best solution.
However, only those that were close to Mo Ting knew that he was trying to stall for time.
Leave everything to the law …
It was also the best public relations shield.
Anyone who was concerned about this matter could shut their mouths with a sentence of handing over the case to the law.
With this, Mo Ting was in complete control of the situation.
Of course, Mo Ting had always been swift and decisive in his actions. But this time, he was unusually gentle. In the eyes of the higher-ups at Hai Rui, his PR was barely passable; it couldn't be considered beautiful. So, the next day, over 30% of Hai Rui's shareholders requested for an interim board meeting.
In reality, ever since Hai Rui was established, they had been through a lot worse than this. A small matter like this was not something the shareholders would hold accountable for. But, J-King had been stirring up trouble for a long time. On top of that, Mo Ting had been making too many exceptions for Tangning, so the shareholders couldn't help but suspect that Mo Ting had been blinded by lust and was affecting Hai Rui's operations.
Before Mo Ting left the house, Tangning stood in front of the mirror helping him adjust his suit. Her eyes revealed a sense of unease.
Mo Ting grabbed onto her right wrist and placed a kiss on it, "What are you feeling uneasy about?"
"Today's board meeting …"
"You're worried about this?" Mo Ting let go of her hand and wrapped his arm around her waist, "Don't you think I'm enjoying the game of cat and mouse?"
Tangning leaned into Mo Ting's embrace. Although she was well aware of his ability to strategize, worrying about something like this was an instinct.
"You previously said that if I needed you, you would step forward."
"Is it still important to ask this now?" Tangning lifted her head and asked. "I've already made preparations …"
Mo Ting stretched out his hand and stroked Tangning's hair. Although he couldn't bear to do it, he still hardened his heart, "I will pave the way for you. Don't worry."
The couple were well-connected. So, most of the time, Mo Ting didn't need to say much. As long as he did something, Tangning would understand. Everything Tangning did was to create an opportunity for Mo Ting to retaliate.
"My fans are all doing charity work. In fact, they've even set up a charity website to collect donations."
"You've done a good job," Tangning smiled.
She knew Mo Ting had already understood her intentions. So, she did not say another word as she pulled away from Mo Ting's embrace, "Let's go, the board meeting is about to start."
When it came to being two-faced, the husband and wife had always been surprisingly consistent.
They simply had to wait for a good show.
...
10am. Hai Rui's meeting room.
Before Mo Ting entered the meeting room, the old shareholders all expressed their dissatisfaction with the way the fans were handled. Hai Rui had been well known in the industry for many years and had never been involved in PR like this. But, because it involved Tangning, Mo Ting's way of handling it could be said to be the most gentle in history.
"The fact that the almighty CEO became a model's personal manager was already a topic of discussion. Yet, for the sake of Tangning, he's even willing to disregard Hai Rui's reputation?" one of the shareholders said.
"Haven't you guys noticed that Mo Ting has changed a lot lately?" a second shareholder said as he slammed his hand on the table.
"If things continue like this, if Tangning asks for Hai Rui, will Mo Ting simply give it to her? What a vixen... "
"I've compiled some information here. It's all evidence of Mo Ting using his position as CEO to help Tangning," the person that handed over the information was J-King's so-called father, Director Ceng.
Lu Che had previously given him a phone call, but he had rejected Lu Che with the excuse that he wasn't in the country. In reality, he had rejected Mo Ting.
The group of shareholders received the information. After looking through it, they were all shocked.
"What will happen if things continue like this?"
"If things continue like this, Hai Rui will be finished sooner or later."
"What's finished?" Mo Ting's deep voice suddenly resounded from the doorway of the meeting room. A moment later, the group of shareholders put away the information with ugly expressions on their faces and turned their faces away.
Mo Ting sneered as he sat down in the CEO's seat. However, his gaze fell on the information in the hands of the shareholders, "Let me have a look."
One of the shareholders was a little surprised, but he still handed the information over.
Mo Ting flipped through the information casually and threw it aside, "What? Are you trying to use this as an excuse to hold me accountable? "
"Mo Ting, don't you think you should explain things to everyone..."
"What do I need to explain?" Mo Ting asked. He then placed his sharp gaze on Director Ceng and continued, "If you want me to give you a reasonable explanation, that's fine. But... before that, I would like to ask Director Ceng's son, J-King, what is he planning?"
