A slap in the face
The Crisis Office was deathly silent.
The executives of Huangshi Group looked at each other, speechless.
"What are you all standing there for? Aren't you all supposed to be elites who study hard? Why are you all dumbfounded now?"
"I'm in charge of the crisis, "the Crisis Supervisor said, glaring at the crowd through gritted teeth.
Before the show aired, everyone looked down on Xu Yi, saying he was just a clown who wouldn't last long.
And the result?
The live stream had just started, and everyone was caught off guard. Now they're all humiliated, but they're speechless?
"Manager, what can you do?"
Seeing that the supervisor was constantly shirking responsibility and trying to absolve himself of the blame, one employee couldn't stand it anymore and said in a sinister tone.
"Xu Yi came to deliver the notification letter yesterday. There was clearly an opportunity for communication and mediation, but you threw the notification letter in the trash and said he was just a piece of trash. Have you forgotten?"
Upon hearing this, the supervisor's face immediately turned red, and he screamed repeatedly, like a monkey that hadn't gone to the toilet for three days.
"I'm asking you for a solution, not for you to sabotage me. If you can't come up with a solution today, your year-end bonus is gone—no, forget about the year-end bonus, you can forget about your salary!"
Normally, this statement would have intimidated all the colleagues, but now, they just shrugged and didn't care at all.
If things aren't handled well, the responsibility primarily lies with the supervisor, and only secondarily with those of the lower-level staff.
If they don't get good results, will the supervisors get good results?
"Manager, to be honest, it's not a big deal. He can only get some exposure; he can't shut down the factory! He's just a small-time streamer; besides creating some buzz online, what other impact can he have?"
One of the executives said casually, not taking it seriously.
"The Livestream Room has already surpassed 100,000 viewers, and there's also the impact of the March 15 report. Are you sure there won't be any problems?"
The supervisor was taken aback by this and couldn't help but ask.
The Livestream Room was filled with heated arguments and insults.
If this were a live broadcast, with so many excited people, it would definitely cause a disturbance. Fortunately, it's online, so everyone can only type on their keyboards.
"There are so many trending topics on the internet, and netizens have very poor memories. Besides, Food Safety Issues have occurred before, but have any major problems happened?"
"We who work in public opinion management don't need to make a fuss. Just apologize superficially and ignore them. They'll forget about it on their own."
The executive reiterated.
Upon hearing this, the supervisor breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking about it carefully, that really is the case.
No matter how loud the commotion in the Livestream Room is, it's still just a small-time streamer. What's the use of being loud? They don't have any law enforcement power.
As he was thinking, he suddenly heard a gasp from beside him.
"Manager, look at the screen!"
What's wrong with the screen?
Upon hearing the sound, the supervisor instinctively looked up, only to be instantly stunned.
On the big screen, a large curtain had been placed there at some point, broadcasting a live stream of a raid.
"Seven factories in Dongfeng Township were found to have various hygiene problems, and 5,000 jin of problematic beef was also discovered!"
"Five thousand jin of problematic chicken nuggets and two thousand boxes of problematic seasonings were seized from four factories in Xiyi Township!"
"During a special Fire Safety Month investigation, a hidden room was discovered, and 3,000 boxes of expired raw materials were seized!"
Each on-site report was shocking.
Hundreds of tons of beef, thousands of boxes of seasonings, and countless other raw materials were involved, with the total amount likely exceeding 100 million yuan.
This isn't over yet!
At the same time the report was being made, a barrage of phone calls flooded the Crisis Office's internal hotline.
"Hello, Manager Chen? Something's happened here, please, please think of a solution!"
"Is Manager Chen there? It's extremely urgent! You need to think of a solution right away, otherwise thousands of boxes of products will be confiscated, we'll be penalized, and the company's stock price will be affected!"
"Manager Chen, Manager Chen, please say something!"
On the phone, the heads of various factories were shouting and yelling. Some of the more timid ones watched as the silver bracelets were fastened to their wrists and immediately burst into tears.
The manager was holding the phone; even if he had three heads and six arms, he couldn't attend to everything at that moment.
The incessant ringing of the telephone was like a demonic siren.
What to do, what to do?
He's the Crisis Supervisor, but he's not a god!
One or two problems can be resolved, but what can he do when so many factories have problems at the same time?
Manager Chen looked helplessly at everyone; the office was both noisy and deathly silent.
What can we do?
There's absolutely no way!
"Unplug the phone line!"
A weak voice rang out.
Manager Chen simply unplugged the phone line, which restored peace to the room.
"Didn't you just say there was no problem? What's going on?"
Manager Chen stared intently at the employee who had spoken.
Everyone looked at the employee who had just mentioned a minor issue.
At this moment, the executive who had spoken had turned pale and was almost scared to death.
"That's impossible. How could problems suddenly be found in various factories?"
"The authorities won't bother with a small-time streamer, and even if they do investigate, we have a backup plan. We can hide in a secret room and absolutely won't let the authorities find any direct evidence!"
"That's what we've always done, and we've always managed to get by, haven't we?"
The executive spoke, looking at the crowd, but they all avoided his gaze.
Yes, that's how we used to do it, and there were never any problems. But now there are problems!
The Livestream Viewers in the Livestream Room were completely stunned.
On set, Boss Xu and the others were stunned.
They watched the live stream just for the fun of it. Although they had considered that the authorities might intervene, they never expected it to happen so quickly.
The information was leaked here, and they immediately coordinated to identify the problem there, and they could even broadcast it live?
There's a mole!
There's a mole inside!
[Shock Points +100]
[Shock Points +100]
The ever-increasing Shock Points echoed in Xu Yi's ears.
"Xu Yi, you really did have something up your sleeve. No wonder you dared to do a live stream!"
A comment from Rich Bro about donating money appeared in the live chat, resulting in a three-day ban.
"What do you mean by 'keeping something to yourself'? I always tell my brothers what I mean."
Xu Yi looked completely innocent.
"Protruding!"
"Protruding!"
The screen was filled with middle fingers in the comments.
But Xu Yi really wasn't lying!
After all, he had more than one trick up his sleeve.
"Director, someone's outside looking for you. They insist on seeing you."
Just then, someone came to report.
Um?
They came knocking, naming names—is this Huangshi Group finally getting fed up and deciding to back down?
Xu Yi was slightly taken aback, then let the little cute girl take over as the live streamer before heading towards the door.
"Xu Yi, when you see Huangshi Group later, you absolutely cannot hold back. Make them bleed money badly."
"Boss Xu holds a grudge," he said excitedly.
"Calm down, you're making it seem like we've never seen anything like this before."
Xu Yi patted Boss Xu on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down.
Han Tao cooperated, but after only a slight attempt at manipulation, they couldn't withstand it already?
Huangshi Group probably has ill intentions.
At the entrance of the Production Crew's headquarters, Xu Yi finally saw the person who had arrived and was stunned.
Are these the lobbyists from Huangshi Group? There are only two of them, and they look too young.
Song Qinghuan and her Younger Sister looked at Xu Yi, whose face was gloomy, with unease.
This Big Internet Celebrity seems a bit unhappy. I just arrived; I didn't do anything to him, did I?
