Chapter 757: Chapter 753: Confusing the Opponent
Richelle Dunn decided not to bother with them anymore.
Whether they were stubborn or persistent, she’d just let them be.
As a member of the sandwiched class, she had no interest in serving the two gentlemen any further.
While the three children and Maggie Mitchell were chatting with Kennedy Green, Richelle took her laptop, sat on the couch, and searched for some recent information related to the Dunn Group.
Of course, she could easily obtain the highly confidential and true information on her own.
What she was searching for online were merely public opinions and trends.
Sometimes, these opinions and trends could sway stock prices more than actual facts.
Richelle had been tempted to buy out the Dunn Group ever since she had received increasing dividends from the company.
But once she calmed down, she would think that if she were to buy the Dunn Group at a normal stock price, wouldn’t that just benefit Jayden Dunn and his son?
Moreover, although Roy Lewis generously handed over the dividends of the three children, including his own from the Lewis Group, to Richelle for unified custody and use, the money was still the fruit of Roy’s labor.
Even if she couldn’t make the most of every cent, she should at least avoid spending recklessly.
It wasn’t easy to guide public opinion regarding the Dunn Group recently.
Because Harris Dunn was even more cautious and prudent compared to Jayden, he knew better how to avoid trouble.
Since he took over as the head of the Dunn Group, there weren’t many incidents people could use against them.
It was difficult to create any big waves or scandals.
Without any scandals, it wouldn’t be easy to influence public opinion.
Richelle initially didn’t want to meddle with this issue to maintain Dunn Industries’ reputation.
But after discussing with the public relations department of the Lewis Group, they all agreed that besides the Dunn Group’s plan to establish a branch in Leutonia that ended disastrously, it would be challenging to find any other issues to create big waves or influence public opinions.
So, she let the public relations staff tentatively spread some rumors online, vaguely suggesting that the Dunn Group had offended someone in Leutonia recently, causing the final approval document to be aborted, which was just one step away from being completed.
This unsubstantiated news with no evidence didn’t gain much attention at first.
After all, the Dunn Group was the richest in Lordon, but it probably didn’t even rank in the top ten across the Federation.
And Harris Dunn, the new leader of the Dunn Group, was much more low-profile compared to most young and flashy figures who were celebrities one day and models the next.
So, after this news had been spread for half a day, it barely broke into the top hundred.
On the surface, it seemed like this news wouldn’t garner much attention.
However, Richelle and the public relations staff had deliberately chosen this minuscule spark of interest.
Because the low heat of the news meant that Harris wouldn’t pay much attention to it.
As the first day passed uneventfully, so did the second and third day. After the news hovered at the bottom for a few more days, Harris would become careless and directly ignore it.
He wouldn’t take any measures against it.
Meanwhile, Richelle took this opportunity to buy herself more time and prepare a large number of tasks beforehand.
As she expected, the news had little traction, and there were hardly any comments below it.
For such news, netizens would generally choose to ignore it.
And by the end of the day, it was as if the news was non-existent.
However, Richelle secretly informed the directors, who had already sided with her, including Darren Moss, to subtly and individually leak the news bit by bit to the influential directors with larger shares in the company.
