As soon as Zhao Chen's car turned into the block where Henglong Building was, he saw the group of people.
There were seven or eight journalists carrying long guns and cannons, three interview vehicles with different station logos, and a few self-media broadcasters holding mobile phones for the first time.
They are like sharks smelling blood, lingering at the door of the office building.
Reporters immediately gathered around him, their cameras almost touching the car windows.
The flash lights came and went, cutting the dusk sky into countless pieces of dazzling white.
"Chairman Zhao! Is what Lin Wanqing said true? Zhao Jianguo really has three illegitimate children?"
"Does your father's imprisonment have anything to do with you?"
"Have you known about the existence of illegitimate children for a long time?"
"Chairman Zhao! Respond!"
The security guard rushed over and used his body to separate the crowd.
Zhao Chen got off the car without stopping, without looking back, or even slowing down.
His profile flashed across the glass of the revolving door of the building, and no expression could be seen clearly.
When he opened the door to his office, three pairs of eyes looked over at the same time.
Su Wantang stood in front of Floor-to-Ceiling Window, holding the phone in his hand with the screen still on.
Zhang Qingxue is sitting on the sofa, with three documents spread out in front of him, the computer is on, and the cursor is flashing in the documents.
Chen Xi faced the two monitors without raising his head, and his fingers were still tapping rapidly on the keyboard.
When she heard the door knock, she was the first to raise her head.
"Zhao Zong."
This sound is like some kind of ritual.
Su Wantang came over from the window.
Zhang Qingxue Close the file.
Chen Xi finally stopped his fingers.
All three people looked at him.
Zhao Chen put his coat on the back of the chair and sat down.
"What's going on now?"
Chen Xi immediately called up the public opinion monitoring background and spoke faster than usual, but still clearly:
"The heat didn't go down, but it got even higher.
The complete replay of the Lin Wanqing interview has been viewed over 80 million times online.
##Zhao Jianguo's Three Sons## The main topic has been read 370 million times, and there are six derivative topics."
She switches pages:
"The mainstream media haven't come to an end yet and are all waiting and watching. However, self-media and financial influencers are basically on two sides -
One group questions Lin Wanqing's motive for breaking the news at this time, and the other group... connects your father's case and Henglong's internal strife into a TV series."
She paused and reported the most forwarded title Weibo:
<Grudges between wealthy families: stepmothers, illegitimate children and the battle for tens of billions of assets>
Zhao Chen has no expression.
"Where's the PR side?"
Chen Xi took a deep breath and turned the laptop towards him:
"We discussed it with the PR team for three hours and drafted a preliminary statement plan."
She read one by one:
"First, publish the evidence.
Publish the marriage certificate of Zhao Jianguo and your mother Wu Suyun, the marriage certificate and divorce certificate of Wantang.
It proves that Lin Wanqing has never had a legal relationship with Zhao Jianguo."
"Zhao Zong Your biological mother's marriage to your father happened more than 20 years ago. Lin Wanqing was only a teenager at that time, so it was impossible for her to know her father.
This can prove that even if what she said about having an illegitimate child is true, she is still the third party in the extramarital affair."
"Second, clarify the case.
The Zhao Jianguo case was prosecuted by the prosecutor in accordance with the law. Zhao Chen has never been summoned or investigated by Police. There is no possibility of "framing the biological father."
Links to Police and the prosecutor's public procedural instructions will be attached to the statement."
"Third, restore the succession process.
You had no intention to take over Henglong at first. It was only after some senior executives of the company made a joint request at his residence on the night of the incident and you met with Zhao Jianguo the next day that you took over.
The public relations team has obtained Villa surveillance footage from that night, which can prove that what he said is true."
"Dixi, qualitative recent governance.
A series of actions such as Henglong Rights Issue, auditing, compliance rectification, etc. all strictly abide by the Listed Company governance standards and do not target any individual.
All decisions are based on the interests of shareholders as the highest criterion."
Chen Xi After reading, he raised his eyes and said, "This is the first draft. You can see where it needs to be adjusted."
The office was quiet for a few seconds.
Zhao Chen did not immediately comment.
He lowered his eyes and seemed to have gone through the Saijo statement in his mind.
Then he spoke:
"Article 1, Article 3, Article 7, follow this line of thinking."
He paused:
"The second one is not enough."
All three people looked at him.
"Clarifying that the frame-up is untenable, no problem."
Zhao Chen said,
"But the statement cannot be just 'I didn't do it' - that would be a passive response to her accusation."
He raised his head:
"I need a way to take the initiative."
"What content?" Zhang Qingxue asked.
Zhao Chen thinks for a moment:
"Add one more thing - I have never heard that my father has other children. Ms. Lin Wanqing's relevant remarks in the public Interview,
If it has caused serious damage to my personal reputation, I will reserve the right to pursue its infringement liability through legal channels."
Zhang Qingxue quickly went through the legal framework in his mind.
"Okay." She said,
"This is not a criminal charge, but a civil infringement. We have the right to reserve the right to pursue liability, and this falls within the scope of a legitimate response."
Chen Xi added:
"And the attitude of this article is 'the story you made up has violated me', not 'whether your revelation is true or false'.
Do not admit or deny the fact of illegitimate child, only pursue the other party's behavior of spreading unconfirmed information--
It is legally defensible, and in terms of public opinion it can also change the issue from 'how many illegitimate children does Zhao Family have' back to 'the purpose of Lin Wanqing's words'."
