Chapter 219: 219 I’m sorry, it’s late. Chapter 219: 219 I’m sorry, it’s late. Good news rarely goes beyond the gate, while scandal travels a thousand miles. Those intriguing affairs within the grand households could never be kept under wraps.
The news that Vice President Qin was swept out of the Li Family home spread like wildfire in just one night, and the old Master Li acted swiftly, sending someone to find Vice President Qin early the next morning. Accompanied by his second daughter, he went directly to the civil affairs office to get a divorce.
With things having reached this point, those in the know within the circle finally brought the marriage saga of Miss Li and the Phoenix Man Vice President Qin to light.
He was a middle-aged man who looked down on women, seeing them merely as birthing tools, but was in fact a Phoenix Man wearing a cuckold’s green hat, mooching off his wife, and keeping three mistresses on the side simultaneously.
Various platforms like some-hu and some-pan were suddenly filled with analyses and exposés of this Phoenix Man.
At its core, he was someone who had long been oppressed by women, carrying unresolved grievances in his heart, leading him to despise and belittle women – a piece of human trash.
As for old Master Li, it seemed he also had no intention of spending money to cover up this scandal. It was a soft spot in his heart that had allowed him to bring a wolf into his home, attracting such a vile creature. Perhaps this was his karma. It could also be seen as a wake-up call he struck for his daughter, a lesson that one’s mistakes would eventually come at a cost, it was only a matter of time.
Because of Vice President Qin’s personal conduct issues, a dark shadow had been cast over Yilong Technology. Not only that, but Yilong’s competitors also entered the fray, unearthing Vice President Qin’s displays of malice towards women on various occasions online.
For instance, at one public event, Vice President Qin explicitly stated, “Women are beautiful, and this beauty should serve men.”
Or at a certain business gathering, Vice President Qin claimed, “The greatest meaning in a woman’s life should be to give birth to an outstanding son.”
Vice President Qin had many such quotable remarks…
Netizens, upon seeing these things, felt nauseated and left furious comments under the gossip posts:
@PeppyShrimpIsADog: “I’m laughing in disbelief at such a ridiculous person.”
@FloralInBloom: “He’s a Phoenix Man himself, yet has the nerve to look down on women? My God, that’s just too extreme.”
@PentaKillBandJ: “Isn’t Yilong going to fire this guy already, or are they saving him for New Year’s?”
@CrownOfTrueLove: “Can a company with this kind of employee be anything decent? Sorry, uninstalling the game.”
Because of Vice President Qin’s issue, the negative impact on Yilong grew larger and larger like a rolling snowball.
If they had initially responded with a genuine apology and proper handling, none of these consequences would have followed. However, Yilong stubbornly refused to believe it, repeatedly sheltering Vice President Qin, which led to the escalation and fermentation of the incident.
When it was time for calm discussion, they acted outrageously; now that they want to talk it out? Sorry, it’s too late.
The project in Vice President Qin’s hands, once partners learned about his repugnant character, also started to express their desire to suspend collaboration.
Making money is important, but the character and integrity of a business partner are even more so.
Thus, the talisman Vice President Qin had relied on all this time… the project seen as indispensable to him, was so easily put to a halt.
The board of directors at Yilong was furiously thunderstruck and promptly ordered CEO Gao to fire the person in question. Not only that, but CEO Gao’s engagement with Huahai also nearly brought a crisis upon Yilong and would face suspension after the upheaval of the “Demon Behavior” event.
CEO Gao was on the verge of fury, yet this was precisely during the critical moment of the “Demon Behavior” event; he couldn’t afford to be thrown into disarray.
“President, the PR department has prepared the press release, shall we issue it?” Inside Yilong’s presidential office, the assistant handed the paper version of the event announcement to CEO Gao.
“Release it!” CEO Gao said, gritting his teeth. “Contact a bunch of big Vs, hire some trolls, control the comments. If we screw up again, we might as well not bother showing up at work.”
“And about Vice President Qin’s issue…”
“Don’t mention him to me,” CEO Gao said with a dark face. “Have the PR department get in touch with the winners of the event as soon as possible to confirm their attendance at the award ceremony.”
