Chapter 412: It's Up to You!
"This stuff goes up and down; there are rises and falls. I don't really care about that since it's all virtual and can't be taken as real assets."
Song Yun was quite indifferent about it. As long as his company didn't face any major problems, a recovery was just a matter of time.
"Hmm, as long as you can see it that way, it's fine. If there's anything you need to give a heads-up about, just let me know. After all, you're a flag we've erected in the business world of the Magic Capital. We can't afford to let you suffer any injustice."
"Alright, if I truly need your support, I will definitely notify you in advance,"
Song Yun said with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Song Yun couldn't help but pick up the newspaper and start reading again.
The Su family must have received quite a lot of benefits, right? Otherwise, why would they smear me without any restraint? Explore new worlds at empire
Ever since the incident at the hospital, I haven't seen them. I wonder how they are doing now.
"Brother Huang, help me check where the Su family is living now."
Song Yun sent a voice message to Huang Baoding and then casually sat down on the couch.
The more critical the moment, the less one should panic.
Besides, with so many companies under his name, weren't those public relations departments just for show?
And sure enough, half an hour later, led by the Mountains and Waters Corporation, a joint statement was issued.
The statement fiercely criticized the responsible behavior of tabloid journalists and the methods for suing them.
As for this action, the corporations were determined to pursue it to the end.
Just ten minutes after the statement was released, the Magic Capital Cultural Department also issued a statement. It declared that the incident was caused by tabloid journalists looking for a sensation, deliberately distorting the facts. Now, they had sent people to investigate the incident rigorously and had temporarily halted all business operations of that newspaper.
"Boss Song, we've found out where the Su family is currently residing. I took a team over and checked—only to find the house empty. According to the Su family's neighbors, there was a fierce argument early in the morning. By daytime, there was no sign of them. Shall we continue looking?"
Huang Baoding came back with a stack of documents.
Song Yun felt a bit sentimental seeing the Su family's current living environment. Although the Su family wasn't extravagantly wealthy before, they at least had a house and car and lived a decent life in the Magic Capital.
But their current living conditions were so poor.
Could it be that after parting ways with him, there had been some significant change in the Su family?
Song Yun shook his head and sighed, pondering for a moment before saying, "Since we can't find them, there's no need to expend effort on this. Inform all corporate executives to be prepared for business attacks during this period."
"By the way, what's the situation with that newspaper?"
Upon hearing Song Yun's question, Huang Baoding shook his head and said, "It's been deserted. When we found the newspaper's editor-in-chief, we learned that two days ago, the company had already been transferred to a new legal person, and a major staff overhaul took place."
"That figures; the opponent wouldn't engage in a battle unprepared."
Song Yun lit a cigarette, squinted, and said in a deep voice, "A storm is coming."
After arranging everything, Song Yun decided to take the day off and just watched TV and browsed videos at home, not going anywhere.
"Yun-bro, aren't you worried at all?"
Ouyang Jie sat beside Song Yun, sipping wine gently. This amount of alcohol hardly affected him.
"Is worrying of any use? Should I get infuriated and shout to everyone that I didn't do those things? Human mouths cannot be sealed. You suppress one voice, and ten more will spring up."
Song Yun replied indifferently, "Besides, isn't the PR department of the group busy fighting off the internet trolls? With these professionals at work, all I need to do is take care of myself."
"True."
Ouyang Jie pursed his lips and said, "Those who play tactics indeed have dirty hearts. Us simple folk might at most break a neck, but these bastards... they want to ruin a person's reputation, how filthy!"
"Heh, let's not talk about that anymore. How are things going with you and Xiaowan?"
Song Yun asked curiously, "Don't tell me you've given up."
"How could I? Xiaowan is definitely going to be the mistress of the Ouyang family!"
Ouyang Jie said in a downcast tone, "But recently, Xiaowan has been busy with her career, and I have a lot on my plate, too. Neither of us has had much time to communicate."
"Alright, I can tell what you're implying. You're finding roundabout ways to call me a capitalist!"
Song Yun said with a laugh, "Once Xiaowan is finished filming this movie, I'll give her a few days off so you two can go out and have some fun."
"Really? You said it!"
Ouyang Jie jumped up excitedly and shouted, "No take backs!"
"No take backs..."
The moment Song Yun's words ended, his phone rang. He had lost count of how many calls he had received today.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Boss Song, this is Xiao Cui from Damao Business. I don't know if you remember me?"
Damao Business...
Song Yun recalled for a moment in his mind. This company specialized in foreign trade and had a considerable scale in the Magic Capital business community. However, Song Yun did not have much business interaction with them; their relationship could only be described as bland.
Why would they be calling him at this time?
"Remember, didn't we meet at the business wine party last time? What's the matter?"
"Heh, to be honest, there really is!"
Manager Cui said excitedly, "After seeing the newspaper today, I've been concerned about this matter. After extensive investigation, I've discovered the mastermind!"
"The mastermind?"
"Yes! Weren't the rumors today started by the Su family? I've found the mother and son of the Su family for you!"
"Ah?"
Song Yun was startled for a moment, then slowly asked, "Just the two of them?"
"Right, according to those two, three people came to their home last night and gave them one million US dollars, forcing them to spread rumors about you. But this morning, after consulting with each other, they took the money and ran."
Manager Cui said fawningly, "I can't extract anything else, and these two insisted that since they have a history with you, they will only reveal everything if you come in person."
"Heh."
Song Yun scoffed. These two were short-sighted fools; they wouldn't know anything significant. Now there were only two possibilities.
One, they wanted to associate with him and escape from Manager Cui's control.
Two, the appearance of this Manager Cui was very suspicious!
"I see. I won't be going then. You can deal with those two however you see fit, but remember, we are all law-abiding citizens. We can't do anything out of line."
Song Yun said righteously.
"Ah? You're not going to come by? Okay, I understand."
Manager Cui's voice immediately lost its liveliness.
After hanging up, Song Yun looked at the caller ID and scoffed. What a joke, thinking such a petty trick could lure him over, as if he was still dwelling on those frustrating matters.
