Although the incident was publicized, the public opinion has not diminished.
Many people uninstalled the reading software as a result, causing considerable losses to the company and shaking the author community.
This happened so suddenly, so many people suddenly turned against Shengshi, and I knew with my toes that someone was manipulating public opinion behind the scenes.
The company's revenue has been declining for several days, the lost users have been transferred to other companies, and there are many rumors on the Internet.
"Mr. Lu, the person who posted the public opinion has been found..."
The secretary stood beside him holding the document, but hesitated to speak.
"who is it?"
Lu Zheng rubbed his temples. He hadn't slept well in the past few days and there were heavy dark circles under his eyes.
“The author who accused the company of swallowing royalties works part-time, and his main job is the head of Lu’s marketing department.
The first batch of marketing accounts that began to spread public opinion were all owned by Lu's entertainment companies.
The person who started the rumor now sent us a private message that he wanted to reconcile. Someone ordered him to do this, but the traces of anonymous contact were wiped clean. "
The secretary observed his expression and didn't dare to express his anger.
No one can accept the fact that it was one of their own who framed him.
"I understand, go and do your work."
Lu Zheng took the information she sent without any unusual emotions.
This wasn't the first time he was stabbed in the back, and he had long been indifferent.
At the end of the month, Lu held a shareholders' meeting, and he sat on Lu Chao's left hand seat.
Lu Chao looked at Lu Zheng several times, thinking that he would lose his temper with him regardless of the situation like before.
But from beginning to end, apart from putting forward his own thoughts on the content of the meeting, he didn't say any nonsense.
Others seemed to want to see their jokes and cast their eyes on them from time to time.
At the end of the meeting, the shareholders left one by one, and both father and son stayed together in tacit agreement.
The empty conference room fell silent, and Lu Zheng turned his eyes to him: "Why don't you explain it?"
"I didn't know about this beforehand, and the marketing accounts below were just chasing the news and making false claims. These people have now been fired."
After the public opinion fermented, Lu Chao also read the news and immediately ordered those marketing accounts to delete the videos.
"What about Chen Yan? How do you plan to deal with it?"
Lu Zheng looked at him evading important matters, with a mocking look in his eyes.
"What does this have to do with Chen Yan? Look at things calmly and don't get involved in personal grudges."
Lu Chao subconsciously stood on his wife's side, believing that he was implicating innocent people.
"Yang Kai, the team leader of the company's marketing department, is Chen Yan's cousin. You should be familiar with him, right?"
Lu Zheng felt that it was not him but him who needed to calm down.
"What does this prove?"
This man, Lu Chao, had the impression that Chen Yan once mentioned to him that she had been with him for so many years, so it was time to promote her relatives.
"He is the author of that one. It has been stopped now. There are also these recordings. You can talk after listening to it."
Lu Zheng asked someone to contact the marketing accounts who had been fired, and after giving them some benefits, they explained everything.
Although Chen Yan's name was not directly mentioned, all the fingers were pointed at her.
After listening to the recording, Lu Chao's chest rose and fell slightly, his clenched finger joints turned white, and his deep eyes seemed to be questioning.
"Do you still want to say that I faked the recording? Please tell her that I will not let her go this time."
Lu Zheng picked up the recorder and stood up to leave, not interested in listening to what he said anymore.
"What do you want to do?"
Lu Chao looked at him uneasily, but unfortunately the other party did not stop.
Of course, this sentence did not reach Chen Yan's ears.
After the incident was revealed, she was only scolded, and it was painless and did not cause any damage.
As time goes by, the impact gradually fades.
The company has placed advertisements in major variety shows and film and television dramas, and the influence of celebrity traffic has attracted many users to return.
Lu Zheng found someone to keep an eye on Chen Yan's recent movements and found out that she and Song Min were still in contact in private.
And Song Min also has a wife and children.
According to the reliable information found so far, the two started dating three years ago, but they did so secretly and rarely appeared at the same time.
Two weeks later, Lu Zheng received an email from the private detective. The two were heading to a hotel owned by Song Min for a private meeting.
Cafe--
"How is that possible? Where did these photos come from?"
The woman in front of her, who was dressed modestly and decently, was holding a photo of her husband kissing a strange woman in her hand, and her whole body was trembling.
She couldn't believe that her husband, who was deeply in love with her, would betray her.
"The woman in the photo should be familiar to you."
Lu Zheng took a sip of the coffee on the table and told her the hotel room number where they were currently staying.
"Why should I trust you?"
Mrs. Song put down the photo and kept her tone calm, but the anger in her eyes could not be concealed.
“Whether it’s true or not, you’ll know once you find out.”
Lu Zheng smiled at her, stood up and left.
"..."
Mrs. Song looked at his back, unable to sit down any longer, and quickly left the cafe.
I met Lu Chao again in the hospital ward.
When Mrs. Song rushed to the hotel that day, Song Min and Chen Yan didn't even have time to put on their clothes. They were beaten on the spot with a bruised nose and swollen face.
Mrs. Song grew up being pampered by her two older brothers. She would never hold back her anger and would go directly to Lu Chao.
After learning that he had been cuckolded in public, he went straight to the emergency room without taking a breath.
Under this situation, seeing his eldest son again was a completely different state of mind.
"Azheng, are you here?"
Lu Zheng sat on the stool with his child in his arms and did not answer his words.
"Grandpa, how are you?"
Yuanyuan heard from her father that she had a sudden cerebral infarction, and her grandfather could not move his lower body now.
"I…"
Lu Chao had been taken care of by nurses for the past few days when he was hospitalized. He choked up when the child asked him this question.
"Grandpa, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Yuanyuan patted his hand, her little face full of concern.
"..."
When he was lying alone in the hospital, Lu Chao realized how sorry he had been for his son.
So far, only the ignored one came to see him.
"Zheng, I have been regretting these days. I was the one who couldn't help you in the past. I owed you too much."
Seeing his father who was always angry with him now confessing in front of him, Lu Zheng didn't feel moved.
If Chen Yan hadn't betrayed him, this day might never have come.
"You and my mother gave me life. I won't hate you for many things, but that doesn't mean I forgive you."
"Azheng, dad is really wrong!"
After all, Lu Chao still couldn't hold back. People are particularly prone to sadness when they are in pain.
His hands, which were thin due to illness, covered his eyes, and his tears soaked the pillow.
"..."
Lu Zheng's eyes turned red when he looked at him, not because he felt sorry for him, but because he had finally received the apology he deserved.
After he calmed down, the father and daughter left the hospital.
Lu Chao suffered from lower body paralysis due to the sequelae of cerebral infarction and needed a long time to undergo rehabilitation training. For a while, no one in the company was in control of the overall situation.
That day in the hospital, Lu Zheng originally wanted to say this, but he kept crying and had no chance to speak.
Later, the board of directors decided that he would serve as executive president and temporarily perform the duties of chairman.
