Zhou Sheng glanced briefly at the newspapers, elegantly picked up his teacup, took a sip, and smiled, "Well done! Even if Xu Hao wins against Jin Shuisheng, he won't be able to recover, the public's spit alone could drown him!"
Wang Chun Jiao, sitting beside him with an admiring look, said, "Sheng Sheng, you're amazing. Who could have thought of such a tactic? This way, neither of us needs to make a move, and we can disgrace Xu Hao without shedding blood, making it impossible for him to take a single step in Huadu!"
Zhou Sheng laughed, "Of course, the only difference between Xu Hao and me is personal martial power and the influence behind us. If I had his martial power and background, Huadu would have been mine long ago!
However, that would be too uninteresting. I want to start as a nobody and rise step by step, and Xu Hao is just the stumbling block on my path that needs to be overturned! In his dreams, he probably would never imagine that these opposing opinions originated from an insignificant nobody like me."
Wang Chun Jiao chuckled, "Sheng Sheng, you overthink it. With his intelligence, he definitely won't figure it out. He's merely a brute who knows nothing but fighting, nowhere near as clever as you. He's not even worthy to tie your shoelaces!"
"Haha! Even so, we still need to be cautious. Now that the public opinion is shaped, let's just wait and see Xu Hao being blockaded and cursed by thousands!" Zhou Sheng laughed heartily, then took Wang Chun Jiao into the inner room.
"Young Master Xu, we've found out who is deliberately guiding public opinion against us. Should we take action to expose that person? Otherwise, if this continues, it will be extremely disadvantageous for us."
After listening to Wang Zhong's report, Xu Hao said with a faint smile, "No need, let things develop as they will. Now that public opinion is what it is, with so many people thinking I've been too harsh and wanting justice for Li Anyang, then I shall eliminate both Li Anyang and Jin Shuisheng tomorrow."
"Ah? Young Master Xu, the current public opinion is already highly unfavorable to you. If you eliminate them too, it's certain to arouse even greater public outrage!" Wang Zhong hastily advised.
"Public outrage? Can these easily brainwashed people represent everyone? Does their anger even qualify as public outrage? It's just that many big names on forums and microblogs have been bought off to brainwash these brain-dead people. Since they can't discern right from wrong, why should I care about their opinion? Have someone compile a list of these people; our company will resolutely refuse to employ these individuals and anyone within three generations of kinship with them." Xu Hao said with a cold laugh.
"This..." Wang Zhong was instantly stunned. Xu Hao was setting a trap to lure the snakes out of their holes, a stroke of enforcement by entrapment!
He was intentionally letting those who were actually Jing Fusang stand out so that he could blacklist them, and when they or their relatives within three generations applied for jobs at the Xu Liu Group, they'd be outright rejected.
Wang Zhong understood Xu Hao's thoughts. In Xu Hao's eyes, the Xu Liu Group would inevitably become the biggest group in the world. By then, who would dare to employ someone rejected by the Xu Liu Group?
These people would face the tough situation of being unemployed!
Realizing this, Wang Zhong immediately said, "Young Master Xu, once again I admire your foresight. I could never think of such long-term consequences, let alone those people. I will carry out your orders without fail!"
This was essentially drawing the water from beneath their feet; these people had no idea of the predicament they would eventually face, but one day, they would surely regret their actions today!
Xu Hao then asked, "What's the position of those family forces regarding this incident?"
Wang Zhong promptly answered, "Among the Seven Small Families, the Wei family has always been on our side, with Wei Laosan as their representative. He has been helping us, and their family's stance is quite clear. The Cao Family has been quiet, and nothing useful has been discovered yet. As for the other families, there has been no move yet. Broughttoyouby*.
However, a short while ago, the Family Head of the Han Family, Han Tiansheng, was suddenly attacked at night and almost lost his life, saved only by Medicine King Lei's intervention. The culprit is still unknown, as our observation targets were not at the Han Family. The main reason is that we don't have enough manpower in the country to collect all the information promptly."
"No matter, you've done well enough. Remember, we cannot let our brothers lack money. There is a certain risk in collecting intelligence, and we must ensure they have no worries about their livelihood," Xu Hao instructed.
Wang Zhong felt deeply moved. They all served the Xu Family, enduring hardship and fatigue, but if they had a master who was unreasonable and lacked empathy for his subordinates, that would truly be miserable.
Fortunately, Xu Hao was quite considerate of his subordinates.
Xu Hao continued, "Furthermore, if any brother unfortunately falls while gathering intelligence, record it. I will slowly settle these accounts on their behalf, making everyone involved pay the price!"
