After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

Chapter 491 Dark clouds over the city

The morning sun shone through the gauze curtains, casting a soft golden light in the bedroom. Yan Jin habitually woke up earlier than Xiang Yu. She got up quietly and walked to the window, ready to greet the new day. However, the flashing news push on the phone screen was like a basin of ice water, instantly extinguishing the peace in her heart.

"Shock! A well-known company is embroiled in a scandal, and its founder is actually..."

"A listed company went bankrupt? Xiang Group's stock price hit the limit down as soon as it opened!"

The shocking title, along with the company logo and the photo of the two of them, made Yan Jin's heart sink. She immediately realized that a storm against the company and the two of them had arrived.

Almost at the same time, Xiang Yu was also awakened by a series of urgent phone rings. He grabbed the phone, and his brows furrowed more and more as the anxious report from the other end of the phone sounded. After hanging up the phone, he looked at Yan Jin, who also had a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have encountered some troubles."

In less than an hour, the atmosphere in the Xiang Group's high-level meeting room was heavy. On the huge projection screen, all kinds of negative news headlines were like dark clouds, suffocating.

"The other party came prepared," the marketing director said with a pale face and panic in his tone. "The news spread very quickly, and the content was half true and half false. It was obvious that they wanted to cause panic and hit our stock price and reputation."

Xiang Yu listened calmly, tapping the table rhythmically with his fingers, quickly analyzing his opponent's intentions and strategies in his mind.

"I have contacted the PR team to conduct crisis PR, but the effect is minimal," the PR manager said, sweating. "It seems that there are professional public opinion manipulators behind these news reports. It is difficult for us to reverse the situation in a short period of time."

"Public opinion manipulator?" Yan Jin repeated the word, his eyes sharp as a knife. "It seems that someone is willing to kill us at all costs."

The atmosphere in the conference room became more solemn, and everyone realized that this sudden crisis was by no means as simple as business competition.

"Notify the legal department, collect evidence, and prepare for prosecution," Xiang Yu ordered decisively, and turned to Yan Jin, "I'll go find out who is behind this."

"Wait," Yan Jin stopped him, "Leave this to me." A gleam flashed in her eyes, "Some things may be more suitable for me to do." After that, she picked up her phone and dialed a number, "Help me check a company..." Yan Jin hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and her eyes were burning with anger. She called her assistant, "Help me book a flight to City A. In addition, I want all the customer information of Z&C Public Relations Company in the past three years, the sooner the better."

In City A, at the headquarters of Z&C, a top domestic public relations company, Yan Jin, dressed in a black business suit, walked into the company's door with a heroic look. She had only one purpose for this trip, which was to find out the relationship between this company and their public opinion crisis.

"Boss Yan, we found out that Z&C received a huge sum of money from Wang's company in the past month, and Wang is..." The assistant handed the investigation results to Yan Jin, and hesitated to speak.

"I understand." Yan Jin took the document, his face terribly gloomy. Wang's was their company's biggest competitor in the industry. Everything was self-evident. Wang's was going to join forces with Z&C and use the war of public opinion to completely defeat them!

As expected, the document recorded in detail the public opinion warfare plan that Z&C had planned for the Wang family. From news releases, water army guidance to negative topic hype, every link was carefully designed with the aim of discrediting the Xiang family and destroying their reputation.

"Despicable!" Yan Jin slammed the document on the table, furious. But she knew that now was not the time to be angry, and the most urgent task was to find a way to fight back.

However, Wang's offensive went far beyond that. Just when Xiang's Group was struggling to cope with the public opinion crisis, Wang suddenly announced a price cut for all its products, frantically grabbing market share at prices below market price.

"Wang Corporation is going to fight to the death!" The marketing manager rushed into Xiang Yu's office in panic, "Our customers have begun to waver. If this continues, the company..."

Xiang Yu's face was solemn. He certainly understood Wang's intention. They were going to use the price war to completely destroy Xiang's market foundation and make it impossible for them to turn around!

"Notify them, we will also lower the price!" Xiang Yu made a prompt decision, with a fierce look in his eyes, "I want to let Wang know that they haven't won this battle yet!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door, and the secretary walked in hurriedly, "Mr. Xiang, President Zhao of the industry association is here, and he wants to talk to you..." "President Zhao? What is he doing here?" Xiang Yu frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. President Zhao is the president of the industry association, highly respected and prestigious in the industry. Logically, he should not be involved in this dispute.

"Chairman Zhao said that he hopes you and President Wang can each take a step back and resolve this dispute peacefully." The secretary answered cautiously, fearing to trigger Xiang Yu's anger.

"A peaceful solution?" Xiang Yu sneered, "The king's rival wants to kill him all, how can there be any peace?"

"Let him in." Xiang Yu took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He knew that President Zhao must have come here with some intention of attacking Wang's competitor. He wanted to see what they were up to.

Chairman Zhao walked into the office with a sad face. He first expressed his regret for Xiang's current predicament, then changed the subject and said, "Mr. Xiang, Mr. Wang also knows that this matter has gone too far. He is willing to make some concessions. As long as you stop lowering the price, he is willing to restore the price to normal levels."

Xiang Yu did not say anything, but just looked at President Zhao quietly. He knew that this was just a smokescreen thrown by Wang's competitor.

Sure enough, President Zhao's next words confirmed his guess: "Of course, in order to make up for the impact of this incident on the Xiang family, President Wang is also willing to pay a sum of compensation."

"Compensation?" Xiang Yu sneered, "President Zhao, do you think our Xiang family needs this little compensation? Rival Wang is insulting us!"

Chairman Zhao sighed, knowing that his trip today was in vain. Wang's rival had no sincerity in reconciliation, and the conditions he proposed were just to humiliate Xiang and save face.

"Mr. Xiang, please think about it carefully. After all, this is a lose-lose situation." President Zhao said earnestly.

"Don't worry, I have made up my mind!" Xiang Yu was firm in his attitude and did not waver in the slightest.

Chairman Zhao left reluctantly. It seemed that the war between the Xiang and Wang families was inevitable.

In order to reverse the decline, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu decided to hold a press conference to publicly respond to a series of recent events. The atmosphere at the press conference was solemn, and the reporters were aggressive, pointing the microphone at Yan Jin and Xiang Yu, throwing out sharp questions one after another.

"Boss Yan, do you have anything to say about Wang's accusations?"

"Mr. Xiang, do you think this incident is malicious competition from Wang? What measures will you take to fight back?"

Yan Jin and Xiang Yu responded to reporters' questions calmly. They refuted the rumors with facts and expressed their uncompromising attitude.

However, the effect of the press conference was not ideal, and the market's confidence in Xiang's company was still insufficient. After the press conference, the company's stock price fell instead of rising, and the situation was not optimistic.

"It seems that we still have a long way to go." As night fell, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu stood side by side in front of the window in the office, overlooking the lights of the city, with determination flashing in their eyes.

"Pull out Wang's financial statements for the past three years and all the information on cooperative projects. I want to see if his competitors are really flawless!" Yan Jin picked up the phone and dialed a number. His tone was cold and full of unquestionable majesty.
