Chapter 228 Wolf King
[Xie Jingxing is not an only child? He has a child?! ]

[The four young masters of Beijing were just carried away and the second young master involved in gangs in Northeast China came again. All capitalists should be hung on street lamps. ]

[Live streaming apps like Kuaishou and Panda TV are either pornographic or shady, just block them now! ]

Public opinion was in an uproar and fierce, from social class confrontation to the image of the platform, like adding fuel to the fire.

Xie Jingxing carefully looked over the main discussion points in several aspects, and his heart was quite calm.

He participated in a variety show last year. He went on a business trip to Northeast China to do due diligence on the second assessment topic of the "backdoor listing" project. He came across Yu Lei ostentatiously shooting a Kuaishou video on the road.

After the WhatsApp acquisition was completed, he returned to his hometown in Northeast China to sweep the graves and pay homage to his ancestors, and also visited the villagers door to door. Yu Lei got the opportunity to run errands for him with the help of his aunt Yu Ying.

The third time they had contact was at the Yunshan Annual Meeting. He was too busy at that time and didn't remember meeting Yu Lei.

But the short video playing on the phone screen showed clearly that in a gorgeous hall decorated in British medieval style, Xie Jingxing was sitting in front of an antique Steinway piano, teaching a delicate little girl to play the piano with a relaxed smile on his face.

The nine-meter-high hall with an echoing ceiling and a spacious space like a classical church is his family's manor.

The cute little girl, who was as delicate as a piece of jade, was the eldest daughter born to Mr. Xie by his junior high school English teacher Jie Qing.

The numerous men and women chatting around were stakeholders with different thoughts in the context of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace taking over Yunhe Logistics.

No one cares about a teenage kid holding up his phone to take a short video as a souvenir or do something else.

"Let him delete it."

Xie Jingxing finally put down his phone, stood up calmly and walked out.

"I'll notify Yu Congxin right away."

Song Anli followed behind him and reminded in a low voice: "Should we ask Tencent, ByteDance, and Kuaishou to help us reduce the secondary spread of this video as much as possible?"

"I think I need the professional advice of the public opinion crisis PR team." Xie Jingxing did not make a positive judgment.

The news attacking him for being involved in organized crime was first published on the Toutiao news platform, and the case of Uncle Wang murdering his wife was first published on Tianya Forum, and is now trending on Weibo and Douban.

Obviously, there is a correlation between the negative public opinions sweeping the entire Internet. Instead of suppressing the heat, it is better to confirm whether there is a mastermind behind the scenes.

If there is, find him and kill him.

Last year, the first episode of the variety show was very popular. Xie Jingxing reminded Concubine Pei to be careful with her words and actions, and asked Yu Ying to take a message home and tell them that no matter whether it was Old Xie's lover, illegitimate child, or relatives at home, they should not cause trouble for him.

However, the current situation is that those who have been reminded are obedient and the risks come from outside.

Yu Lei did nothing wrong, or if people were to take even the little things he did seriously, Xie Jingxing thought that he and Old Xie didn't have to do anything every day and could just judge cases at home.

Every weak wild wolf will cede part of its rights to the wolf king, choose to obey the laws and order established by the wolf king, and jointly create a strong wolf pack in exchange for safe shelter with food and warmth.

This is how Xie Jingxing understands power. As the Wolf King, corresponding responsibilities and obligations are compulsory courses.

"Mr. Xie, Yu Lei is on his way to the police station to surrender himself and accept investigation. I asked him to record a clarification video. Do you think it would be appropriate for him to post it?"

Back at Yunhe Logistics, Yu Cong was the first to rush into the office, his face pale and his tone firm.

Xie Jing Xing asked casually: "What do you want to clarify?"

"To clarify, the slanderous remarks about you on the Internet are untrue. He organized a gang of organized crime as a personal act, and the inter-provincial fight was entirely his personal mastermind!"

Yu Congxin put his toes together and bowed deeply, and placed a folder on the desk with both hands: "As a senior manager of Yunhe Logistics, I am to blame for the serious damage to the group's reputation due to my personal family affairs. I request that I be fired!"

"The vice president in charge of human resources proposed to fire me. This is quite new." Xie Jingxing laughed dumbly.

Yu Congxin insisted: "Boss Xie, I request to report to the group's competent department and form an investigation team to conduct an audit investigation on me. I will accept any punishment!"

Xie Jing Xing coughed lightly, lowered his head, picked up the water cup and took a sip.

Song Anli stood in the corner indifferently, concentrating on contacting the professional public opinion crisis public relations team. Just now in the Panda TV office, she called Yu Congxin instead of Mr. Yu, which had already shown her point of view - decisively cut off.

Although she only holds the title of assistant today, she actually has three full-time assistants under her who are in charge of many affairs and are qualified to express their opinions on many matters.

"Old Yu, don't be impulsive. We haven't figured out what happened to the child yet. Don't cause trouble for Mr. Xie. Go back to your normal work and wait for the real situation to be reported back from home."

Xie Kai, who rushed over after hearing the news, pushed and shoved Yu out of the office again.

After closing the door, Xie Jingxing picked up the folder on the desk and flipped through it calmly: "Many people at home are watching me."

"Although Old Yu is usually a bit sloppy, he is very clear about right and wrong. After all, it is his own son who is in trouble today and he is worried and confused. He has no other intentions." Xie Kai helped to say a good word.

"That makes sense. Everyone can understand that concern leads to confusion."

Xie Jing Xing sneered and swung his arm to smash the folder: "He is also a person who panics when encountering problems, and he is useless and has no brains!"

With a bang, the plastic folder wrapped with an iron clip hit Song Anli hard on the head. The instinctive physiological reaction of pain made her eyes red.

She bit her lips tightly, lowered her head and stood there without saying a word, although she couldn't figure out why.

"Boss Xie, please calm down. It's normal that Assistant Song is still young and inexperienced."

Xie Kai hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the folder on the ground and said, "Assistant Song, I have asked colleagues from relevant departments to help investigate the people who spread rumors online. They will be here soon. Please help to receive them."

Song Anli looked at Xie Jingxing, but got no response.

As soon as she walked out of the office, she saw Guan Linhui and Liu Qiming who had just rushed over from the Ele.me headquarters. The two looked at her, then exchanged glances without saying a word.

"Assistant Song, what's going on inside?" Liu Qiming was the first to ask.

Song Anli forced a smile: "It's okay, the chairman is communicating with Manager Xie, can I help you inform him?"

"No need, let's wait a moment. Just let us know if the chairman has any instructions." Guan Linhui took over the conversation.

"Nothing, I'll go get busy now, please wait a moment."

Song Anli waved and directed the assistant who was silently acting as the door god: "Norah, make tea for Mr. Guan and Mr. Liu."

"You go ahead and do your thing, don't worry about us." Liu Qiming said politely, then he and Guan Linhui walked to the window at the end of the corridor and talked in a low voice.

Song Anli took the elevator downstairs and saw the two of them lighting cigarettes for each other and puffing away smoke. An idea suddenly flashed through her mind.

In fact, Xie Jingxing didn’t really think that Yu Lei had no problem, but many of the top core officials of Yunshan Group were watching what he would do!
After all, Yu Ying is Mr. Xie’s lover. Yu Congxin used to be a small executive in a subsidiary company in his hometown in Northeast China. He was diligent and down-to-earth and had never caused any trouble.

Now he was promoted by the heir to Yunhe Logistics and became a direct descendant of the East Palace. As a result, when something happened, he was immediately cut up and thrown into the sewer like garbage. One can imagine what the audience felt.

Yu Congxin might be really loyal and take the blame without hesitation, but for Xie Jingxing it was a coup.

There was no reason for him to agree directly, nor could he take on all the responsibility and guarantee that there would be no trouble later. For the time being, no one knew what would happen next.

Therefore, in this situation, the best solution is to "refuse and decline three times" and see how the situation develops. Xie Kai hurriedly appeared to smooth things over and let Yu Cong figure out the situation first. This is the meaning behind it.

Song Anli clenched her fists in regret. No matter what position she stood on or what attitude she had, she should have stepped forward to smooth things over.

Yu Congxin didn't dare to bear a grudge against Ms. Xie, but that didn't mean he wouldn't feel resentment towards her. People like Liu Qiming and Guan Linhui all came from Yunshan Group, so they naturally had the motivation to get close to each other.

Xie Jingxing had clearly found a way to create an opportunity for her to truly integrate into the Yunshan Group, but because of her stupidity, she had to resort to self-torture to force Xie Kai to help her make amends and ease the relationship with many executives.

This time the folder was not to blame. Song Anli sorted out the logic and breathed a sigh of relief.

The key to the internal crisis was easily resolved by President Xie. Now it depends on the external situation, which should not be difficult to resolve.

Song Anli walked out of the elevator calmly. She was very curious about who would dare to use Mr. Xie's reputation to make a fuss.

On the other side, in the office, Xie Jingxing was also very curious and asked bluntly: "Do you think there is a driving force behind this?"

"It doesn't look like it for now."

Xie Kai organized his words and said, "First, I asked someone to check the author of the first article. He is an ordinary reporter from a county-level TV station. The TV station has not been profitable in the past two years, and their unit has cut many projects. He registered an account on Toutiao News and posted some articles to attract fans."

"Has it been checked?" Xie Jingxing confirmed unexpectedly.

Xie Kai was silent for a few seconds, then lowered his voice unconsciously: "Yunshan has spent a lot of money on social media in recent years. The comrades from the relevant departments should cooperate with the group's legal lawyer team to go to his unit to understand the situation on the spot. If nothing unexpected happens, I think it is his personal behavior."

"Then what about the subsequent reprints of the news?" Xie Jingxing continued to ask.

Xie Kai squinted his eyes, not knowing how to respond.

I thought that your current popularity and reputation have surpassed Jack Ma and are catching up with Cao Dewang, the Saint Cao. Suddenly, negative public opinion broke out. Who wouldn’t catch up and take a bite?

No matter how much money the Yunshan Group spends, it is not the biological father of the news media. Even if it is the biological father, it cannot prevent its son from making money without any reason. Wouldn't it be wonderful to publish the news and wait for Yunshan to spend money to make more money?

"Yu Lei posting the video is a small problem, the reporter writing the article to become famous is a small problem, the news media reprinting it to make money is a small problem, but when combined together, it has become the big problem it is now?" Xie Jingxing concluded.

As the public relations director, Xie Kai couldn't shirk responsibility, so he had to say, "The negative public opinions about Prince Wang broke out at the same time, which is somewhat suspicious."

"Have you read that article? The negative comments are mainly directed at me personally, and the same goes for Xiao Wang. It doesn't seem to be directed at Yunshan and Wanda, but more at Panda TV." Xie Jingxing analyzed.

Xie Kai carefully put forward his opinion: "I think there are too many possibilities that we can't find out who did it. It's better to do public relations directly. Letting public opinion develop is likely to cause problems."

This is the truth. Although Xie Jingxing seemed to be enjoying a glorious journey, he was actually stepping on countless corpses.

There is no need to confirm the mastermind behind this incident. When negative public opinion took off, it was reasonable for Wang Xing to add fuel to the fire and vent his anger. It was not surprising that Xiaomi, which was about to release a new mobile phone, spent some promotion fees. The picture of Zhang Xuhao laughing secretly in his bed at night was very vivid.

As for Mr. Xie of Yunshan Group, he has more enemies, and the resources that can quickly cross provinces to check water meters are not dropped from the sky.

Behind Xie Kai's casual remark that he had spent a lot of money on public relations over the years, there were bundles of controlled knives in the Yunhe Logistics transportation fleet; the grain storage warehouse used a forklift to dig a hole to bury the middlemen; and Xie Jingxing bought tens of millions of accident insurance when he had a car accident as a child.

Going one level higher, he has not openly enjoyed any benefits from Zhou Fenglan and Yu Tong except for the WhatsApp acquisition, but who knows what their fathers' opponents would think?
Xie Jingxing didn't take the online public opinion seriously at all. The reason why he was so persistent in wanting to confirm whether there was a driving force behind this was because of this.

【Nothing happened.】

As Xie Jingxing was thinking, a light flashed on the screen of his mobile phone, and Zhou Fenglan sent a message.

"OK, let's get rid of the public opinion first."

He changed his mind in an instant. As long as the source of the problem did not come from the sky, he would just face it head-on. It would be best if this wave of public opinion was not man-made.

Xie Kai cheered up and proposed a response plan: "First, send a lawyer's letter to the public, asking the first author to delete the manuscript and apologize; Yu Lei will take legal action and bear whatever responsibilities he should bear."

"Secondly, remove the video about your home posted by Yu Lei from all websites to suppress the heat and prevent class confrontation, and then divert public opinion."

He finally said: "You can handle it coldly. There is no need to respond directly."

"Is that it?" Xie Jingxing asked thoughtfully.

Xie Kai emphasized the tone and nodded vigorously to confirm: "That's it!"

Any disturbance on the Internet has no effect on Yunshan, because those who can influence Yunshan do not check Weibo. Only the negative news about Yunshan Group mentioned in the internal publications of administrative departments, the evening news of provincial TV stations, and the print newspapers of those official media count.

In fact, if Xie Jingxing wasn't so famous, the article posted by that reporter online wouldn't have caused any waves.

"Kuaishou asked me if I wanted to block Yu Lei's account."

Xie Jingxing raised his phone and shook it: "This is a message from Su Hua."

"I don't know how they manage their platform, but I think it's best to let Yu Lei issue an apology statement first." Xie Kai clearly only wanted to clean up his own mess.

He only cares about not letting this wave of negative public opinion get to Yunshan. As for Kuaishou and Prince Wang, that’s another matter.

Xie Jingxing fell silent. Yunshan Group didn't care about online public opinion, but Kuaishou cared a lot about it and so did Panda TV.

Online public opinion continued to ferment, he was an investor of Kuaishou and the topic of "involvement in organized crime" came from Kuaishou.

At the same time, Xiao Wang hurried back to his hometown in Northeast China to pay his respects to his father. His uncle's suspected murder of his wife was much more outrageous than an underage kid's cross-provincial fight.

Based on this, the ongoing financing negotiations between Kuaishou and Panda TV were forced to terminate, and the problems to be faced next will mainly come from this aspect.
