Chapter 32 Invisible Smoke
For the rest of the journey, Liang Weining hesitated between survival and non-existence.

She was so engrossed in her thoughts that when she suddenly received a call from the public relations department, she was still weighing the pros and cons in her mind.

The director's tone was filled with anxiety as he asked if Mr. Chen was with her.

Liang Weining glanced at the man opposite her who was resting with his eyes closed and murmured "hmm" softly.

The other party went straight to the point and explained the purpose of the call.

Liang Weining frowned after hearing this and had a bad feeling in his heart.

After hanging up the phone, she quickly used her mobile phone to open the Hong Kong Satellite TV website and entered the financial column. Sure enough, a line of large headlines appeared across the homepage.

#China Resources leaders in China and Hong Kong met, suspected of severing ties with local medical giants#
There are lots of related links below.

such as:

#The 'nuclear fusion' triggered by the trip to Lianwu Island#
#China and Hong Kong give up the near and seek the far, where will the future ecological industry chain go#
Liang Weining turned off his phone and looked solemn.

Which reporter is so bold as to follow and secretly take photos of Chen Jingyuan?

The news was released ten minutes ago. Just now, the director of the public relations department wanted to seek the advice of the boss whether the Thunder should remove these keywords.

After all, it involves the company's strategic deployment, and the other party dare not make decisions on their own.

Liang Weining calmed down, raised his eyes and called softly: "Mr. Chen, there is an emergency."

"explain."

The man opened his thin lips slightly, but did not open his eyes.

After simply telling the story orally, Liang Weining added: "If you want to minimize the impact of public opinion, you must remove all news within half an hour."

Chen Jingyuan said calmly: "Do you think we should withdraw?"

? ?
As a subordinate, I am most afraid of hearing the three words "what do you think".

However, Liang Weining has gotten used to it.

She expressed her own opinion, "In fact, this news is not completely unfavorable to China and Hong Kong. It can even help to build momentum for the Lianwu Island project. The only thing is that it involves personal connections."

The "local medical giant" in the news title actually refers to the Zhang Group.

The two companies have been dealing with each other for a long time, and the Chen and Zhang families are old friends. If the media is allowed to ferment this, wouldn't it be tantamount to tacitly accepting the so-called "severing ties" statement?

She couldn't figure out why Chen Jingyuan skipped the Zhang Group and chose to cooperate with China Resources, which was far away in Beijing.

But she believed that no matter right or wrong, every move made by the boss must be based on his long-term planning.

However, if this matter were to reach the ears of the chairman of Tai Ping Shan, Mr. Chen would probably have a hard time explaining it to his elders.

Some things don't need to be pointed out, the boss will naturally understand what she means.

However, every time this happened, without exception, it seemed that she, the "eunuch", was always the one who was anxious.

Chen Jingyuan's calm attitude calmed Liang Weining down, so he asked, "Mr. Chen, do you want to withdraw?"

The entire public relations department is on standby, waiting for the boss to give the order.

The air in the car was silent.

As the girl stared at him intently, Chen Jingyuan slowly opened his eyes and told her, "Find out two things within ten minutes."

ten minutes.

Liang Weining nodded to indicate that she was listening.

Chen Jingyuan said: "First, when we were finalizing the interview list last time, you said that half a month ago, the media released news of the marriage between the Chen and Zhang families. We found the relevant accounts and located the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Okay, what about the second one?"

The man continued: "Go check the latest changes in the equity of Genting Villa."

Time was running out, so Liang Weining made phone calls one after another in an orderly manner, seeking full assistance from various departments of the company.

Three minutes later, the technical department found the IP address of the account that spread the marriage news. It was a newspaper office located in a deep alley near the Star Ferry Pier in Tsim Sha Tsui. The newspaper office had ceased operations a week ago.

Seven minutes later, the Ministry of Justice followed the clues and found out that the editor-in-chief of the newspaper was a heavy gambler who had owed a huge gambling debt in Macau. Later, for some unknown reason, the housekeeper of the Zhang old house came forward to pay off his debts.

Ten minutes later, the last message from the Administration Department was received on the phone. It was about the internal entity change of Yunding Mountain Villa two months ago. The largest shareholder changed from the original owner to the second son of the Zhang family. All the things were connected together, all pointing to the same source, the Zhang family.

Chen Jingyuan never interrupted her from the beginning. In the quiet back seat, the only sound was the girl's report every two minutes. Her thoughts were clear and each report was closely linked. She was familiar with the responsibilities and expertise of each department and could make quick judgments and give the next instructions within a few seconds of receiving the message.

This is the China-Hong Kong speed, and also the speed of Secretary Liang.

After finishing the report, Liang Weining swallowed his dry throat.

The central armrest box, which has storage function, was opened. Chen Jingyuan took out a bottle of purified water, unscrewed the cap and handed it over with a gentlemanly and elegant movement.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Liang Weining politely took it.

He took a few sips politely, put the bottle away, then sat up straight and waited for the boss's next arrangements.

Regarding the cooperation on the Lianwu Island project, the Zhang Group had been waiting for good news for a long time, but they did not expect that Beijing China Resources would appear midway.

As an outsider, Liang Weining couldn't comment on the spread of marriage rumors, but as far as this "severing of ties" incident was concerned, the Zhang family's "forcing the emperor to abdicate" was really unbecoming of a big company.

Security at Genting Highlands is tight. Without the owner's order, no one would dare to let reporters in.

Rumor has it that the second son of the Zhang family is uneducated and simple-minded. There must be someone else who came up with this plan. In short, it must be related to the Zhang family.

Chen Jingyuan sat in the car and told Liang Weining to do one last thing. "Tell the public relations department that no matter what method they use, I want to confirm the cooperation between China Resources and Hong Kong within half an hour."

Confirmed.

However, preliminary negotiations are currently underway and subsequent specific matters have not yet been formally carried out. What can be confirmed?
You can't photoshop the picture.

This is a fabrication of facts and will lead to lawsuits. Which media dare to accept it?

Of course, this is not a problem she needs to consider, so let the director of the public relations department worry about it.

After sending the message, Liang Weining observed three seconds of silence for the other party.

While waiting, she looked at the big boss opposite her and asked hesitantly, "Regarding the news about 'cutting off the robe and breaking off diplomatic relations', should we send a letter to clarify it?"

Although the Zhang family went too far, they would not really cut off ties with the family. Apart from other things, they would definitely not be able to pass the test of the chairman.

The chairman values ​​family ties, and the fact that he was previously photographed playing golf with the head of the Zhang family is the best proof of this.

Golf.

It's golf again. This ball is so annoying.

Chen Jingyuan stared at the girl's emotional face and said in a cold voice: "Since this is what the other party wants, there is no need to clarify."

Ok?
Liang Weining: "So what should we do next?"

"Wait."

The man uttered only one word.

Wait half an hour for the reply from the public relations department.

By then, public opinion will ferment again and the situation will become out of control. Naturally, some people will be more anxious than China and Hong Kong.

Liang Weining still couldn't figure out what the benefits were for the Zhang Group to do this?
No benefits.

You reap what you sow.

Half an hour later, another explosive news appeared on the top of the Hong Kong Satellite TV website. Liang Weining quickly opened the link and was instantly shocked.

It’s worthy of being a public relations department. I admire them.

The heat continues to rise, and the financial circle is buzzing.

Finally, at 7:05 p.m., the Zhang family could no longer sit still and issued a statement in the name of the group, refuting the rumors that the Chen and Zhang families had severed ties, and stating that the relationship between the two families remained the same and that there would be no rift between them due to the missed opportunity for cooperation. They hoped that the public would make rational judgments and not spread rumors.

After scanning the announcement, Liang Weining logged into his stock market account and took a quick look.

The boss is right. If things really get out of hand, the ones who should be most anxious are not China and Hong Kong, but the instigators.

After all, many of the Zhang family's businesses rely on the Chen family. Severing ties will only make investors lose confidence in them, leading to a large sell-off, causing the Zhang Group's stock price to plummet.
