To be honest, on the way back, Yang Chen's heart was quite heavy.
After all, she was a girl who had grown up with him since childhood.
Now things have turned out , he bears some responsibility.
Ye Xin gently held Yang Chen's big hand and softly said, "If you can't bear it, I can tell them not to investigate so strictly."
Yang Chen shook his head, "If there's anything, conduct a thorough investigation. The parasites of Flame Country must not be tolerated!"
Yang Chen hated these parasites the most. They fought desperately on the front lines while those behind enjoyed peace and even dodged taxes. It was absolutely intolerable!
If such phenomena are condoned, how is it different from Yue Fei's tragedy?
Looking at Yang Chen, Ye Xin found him particularly endearing at this moment.
This endearment came from his mind, his thoughts pure. This purity was not immature, but sincere. A simple belief, simple goodness.
Perhaps many people, when faced with such matters, would turn a blind eye and choose to ignore them. But Yang Chen wouldn't. In his eyes, good was good, and bad was bad, uninfluenced by other classifications.
Upon returning to the Shangdong Group, the employees came to report that the invitations to the journalists had been sent out, and the meeting would be held at two in the afternoon.
At the same time, the online influencers had also been hired.
This was when the public relations department's capabilities truly showed.
They came up with several response plans and began to counterattack online.
Since the influencers hired by the Shangdong Group began to counterattack, the situation started to recover.
Meanwhile, someone approached another water army group, informing them that the Blue Maple Group could no longer afford to pay them.
Thus, the situation also began to turn one-sided.
At noon, Wei Xueqing insisted on inviting the two for a meal.
Yang Chen said lightly, "The meal can wait, but your company's brand image cannot. We need to seize the victory, regain momentum, and reverse it, increasing your brand's credibility!"
"That's right." Wei Xueqing nodded, looking troubled, and said, "But we still need to eat!"
Suddenly, Wei Xueqing no longer had the aura of a professional strong woman, no longer had the drive to win at any cost, do everything perfectly, and defeat her opponents.
Instead, what she yearned for more now was to have a good meal with Yang Chen.
She felt that this was better than anything!
Yang Chen glanced at her and frowned, shaking his head, "No need, just order takeaway!"
He didn't know what was going on with Wei Xueqing. How could she have the time for a meal at such a critical moment!
Since Yang Chen promised Wei Xueqing to resolve this issue, he had to do it well, otherwise he wouldn't be at ease.
With Yang Chen so insistent, Wei Xueqing had no choice but to give up.
However, she didn't order takeaway but had Zhou Lan go downstairs to a restaurant to pack a table of dishes.
No matter what, she couldn't let Yang Chen just casually fill his stomach!
Before long, Zhou Lan brought people carrying a meal upstairs.
Seeing this, Yang Chen became infuriated and reprimanded, "Is this work? Is work about enjoyment? I said to get box lunches, what are you doing this for? Afraid the employees won't know you eat well? Or are you giving yourself special treatment?"
Yang Chen detested such matters the most.
Originally, everyone worked hard together, crafting plans, doing work. There must be no favoritism.
In the Guard team, even though Yang Chen was the leader, coach, and captain, he ate and lived with everyone without any superiority, even the cigarettes were unified.
If you stand apart from the team, then you will inevitably be removed from it!
Leading a team cannot involve such actions!
Wei Xueqing was also left speechless by Yang Chen's reprimand and glared, "What's with the accusations? Yang Chen, why are you so ungrateful! I was worried you'd be hungry, so I specifically had Zhou Lan buy something good to eat for you, how could you act this way!"
"Do you know what you're doing?" Yang Chen stared at Wei Xueqing.
"What am I doing?" Wei Xueqing felt stifled with anger, "Of course, I know what I'm doing!"
"No! You have no idea!" Yang Chen yelled, "Right now, you could say it's the life and death moment for Shangdong Group! Maybe not to that extent, but it definitely affects the image of both your brands, which also represents how far you can go in the future! Now, with your employees, your subordinates, none of them are off duty, and all are eating box lunches! Who are they working for? Why can you eat better than them? Does it make you special or something? Have you considered how the outside employees feel? As a boss, standing aloof from the team, do you think you can lead a team well?"
Wei Xueqing was stunned, her eyes misting over.
She simply couldn't take in Yang Chen's words and only felt wronged.
She was trying to be nice to Yang Chen, hoping he could eat better. How could Yang Chen be so ungrateful and scold her!
Seeing this, Ye Xin quickly guarded Wei Xueqing, glaring at Yang Chen, "What are you doing, it's just a meal, is it worth such a big fuss?"
Yang Chen said in a deep voice, "Ye Xin, you're also from the Guard. You know what favoritism is like and the consequences it leads to! Although this isn't the Guard, it's also a place with a team and discipline, and the same rules apply! Also, Wei Xueqing, these are words I shouldn't even have to say, I could completely comfortably enjoy this bourgeois privilege you provide, eat till my mouth drips with oil! But have you considered what the consequences are? If it weren't for your father, I wouldn't say a word!"
Hearing this, Wei Xueqing instantly blew up, "If we eat, we eat; if not, then not! Why bring up my father? How does this even relate to the bourgeois? Yang Chen, you're a real jerk! Zhou Lan! Take all the food and throw it out!"
"This..." Zhou Lan hesitated.
"Go!" Wei Xueqing shouted.
Zhou Lan had no choice but to carry the mass of food out.
Yang Chen coldly stared at Wei Xueqing, shook his head, and said, "I realize I have overestimated you, losing your temper and making such decisions. I mention your father because, in this kind of situation, he would be a hundred times calmer than you and handle it much better!"
After saying that, Yang Chen strode out.
The moment Yang Chen pushed the door and left, Wei Xueqing crouched down, holding her head and crying bitterly.
Ye Xin watched the scene, unsure what to do.
She didn't understand what happened, why the two suddenly acted like they had taken gunpowder, each as explosive as the other.
Yang Chen went outside and stopped Zhou Lan, "Zhou Lan, don't throw it away, give it to me!"
