Chapter 966: Punishment
“If you don’t know how to write it, get someone from the public relations department to write it for you,” President Yang said bluntly, “When you write something, let people feel the sincerity of your apology. Don’t make it look like you’re appearing to apologize, but are in fact shirking your responsibility and implicating others.”
This kind of thing had happened countless times in the past, and President Yang had seen it too many times.
Every time he came across this kind of situation, there would only be more backlash, boycotts, and ridicule from the netizens.
It was just that in the past, he had always been enjoying the show, as it had nothing to do with him.
This time, he suddenly found himself in hot water. President Yang had no choice but to be on high alert.
He had to explain everything clearly to Luo Xuzhang.
“Yes.” Luo Xuzhang lowered his head and said.
“Alright, hurry up and deal with it.” President Yang hung up the phone and called his assistant in.
“Tell Lin Qiuming to be on standby. As soon as the apology statements from Guo Pai and Luo Xuzhang come out, immediately bring your men and follow Lin Qiuming to Guo Pai to replace Luo Xuzhang.”
“Don’t forget, before that, send the email first,” President Yang reminded again.
“Yes,” the assistant replied and went out to await orders.
At 2:10 pm, Guo Pai’s official Weibo and Luo Xuzhang’s personal Weibo both sent the apology statements.
President Yang’s assistant immediately led his men and went to Guo Pai with Lin Qiuming.
When they arrived at Guo Pai’s company, the assistant sent out the email regarding the transfer of post to all companies and departments in the group. It had already been edited earlier and had been stored in the draft folder in the mailbox.
People at Luo Xuzhang’s level couldn’t be dismissed just like that.
President Yang wanted to get things done at lightning speed to ensure that Luo Xuzhang wouldn’t have any time to prepare, swiftly changing his position without prior warning.
He transferred him to an empty position.
The explanation to the outside world was that he had been transferred.
He first moved Luo Xuzhang out of that position.
Lin Qiuming brought his assistant and security guard into Guo Pai.
Because the email had just been sent, Luo Xuzhang didn’t have time to read it.
When Lin Qiuming arrived, Luo Xuzhang was shocked.
“Director Lin, what is this?” Luo Xuzhang felt the stance taken was a bit too exaggerated.
“Director Luo, you haven’t read the company’s email yet?” President Yang’s assistant came out and said, “I just sent an internal email to the company. There has been a change in your position. Now, Director Lin will temporarily take over the position of CEO of Guo Pai.”
Luo Xuzhang didn’t care about anything else. He quickly opened his email.
He was transferred back to the head office. He appeared to be promoted, but, in actual fact, had been demoted.
Moreover, it was a position with no real power.
He was used to being the President of Guo Pai with real power. How could he bear the sudden change of position?
President Yang was certain that Luo Xuzhang would not be satisfied with the position he had been transferred to.
However, as long as he was under President Yang, if Luo Xuzhang did not have a good opportunity to redeem himself, he would not be able to return to a position comparable to the CEO of Guo Pai.
If Luo Xuzhang couldn’t take it anymore, he would have to resign.
Luo Xuzhang had an ugly expression on his face. “Why wasn’t there any notice before? Why did such a transfer order suddenly come out?”
“Because it happened so suddenly, so even the transfer order came out of nowhere,” the assistant explained, “President Yang already said a mere apology wouldn’t be able to save the company’s image. If we want to save the company’s image in the shortest time possible and minimize the losses, we have to at least show the netizens a sincere way to deal with it.”
“The netizens won’t be satisfied with just an apology. They can only be satisfied with a huge gesture,” the assistant explained, “Of course, we can indeed just apologize and leave it at that, while waiting for time to pass so that the netizens can slowly forget about what happened.”
“However, President Yang always feels that this method is too slow. Guo Pai has always been criticized for bullying customers, and with this incident, the image of Guo Pai will only worsen. The netizens can’t do anything about Guo Pai, but once the image is bad to a certain extent, the netizens will not necessarily use Guo Pai. At that time, the loss will be even greater.”
“Moreover, “Moon Shines Over the River” is still broadcasting. No matter how small the investment is, there’s no reason to let it suffer a loss,” said the assistant, “Therefore, President Yang means to announce your transfer to the public so that the netizens can at least see the fairness of our group. After the disturbance has subsided, we will make internal adjustments.”
Luo Xuzhang sneered.
Internal adjustments in the future?
I’m afraid that after this adjustment, there won’t be a future.
“Director Lin came quite quickly,” Luo Xuzhang said sarcastically.
“President Yang wants you to hand over to me now,” Lin Qiuming said as he picked up his phone and looked at the time, “At this time, the official blogs of Ledong Media and Guo Pai Video should have already made an announcement. If the announcement is made, but there are no substantial changes in the internal structure, we will still be accused of lying.”
“Director Luo, pack up and report to Headquarters,” Lin Qiuming said, “I’ll follow up on the work here. If there’s anything I don’t understand, I’ll ask you again.”
Luo Xuzhang was gobsmacked.
They were actually going to kick him out now.
Luo Xuzhang had never expected that a small matter like this would cause him to lose his job.
Luo Xuzhang didn’t want to make a scene here and lose face.
He said, “I’ll pack my personal belongings.”
“Please.” Lin Qiuming nodded with a smile.
Luo Xuzhang asked his assistant to get a cardboard box. He packed his things and let his assistant carry them.
If he carried them himself, it would seem as though he was being fired.
Although the current situation wasn’t much better than being fired, it was still very embarrassing.
However, Luo Xuzhang still struggled to maintain what little dignity he had left.
Luo Xuzhang walked out while his assistant carried the box and followed behind him.
Along the way, Luo Xuzhang was thinking about how he had ended up in this situation.
Director Liang was fine, but he was the one who was transferred out.
There were too many people he could hold a grudge against for this matter.
Tan Jinqi, Guo Saisai, and Yuan Keqing.
Thinking of Director Liang, Luo Xuzhang asked President Yang’s assistant coldly, “What About Director Liang? You didn’t deal with him?”
In the beginning, wasn’t Director Liang the one who was exposed by Guo Saisai’s voice recording?
Luo Xuzhang had no intention of protecting him at all.
Since he was going down, it wouldn’t be fair if he didn’t drag Director Liang down with him.
If it weren’t for Director Liang’s phone call at the beginning, he wouldn’t have gone to Tan Jinqi to remedy the situation.
If he hadn’t gone to Tan Jinqi, he wouldn’t have been tricked by Tan Jinqi and exposed that he had gone to Tan Jinqi.
He wouldn’t have lost his position as the CEO of Guo Pai.
If Director Liang was still fine, he would feel disgruntled.
He intended to drag Director Liang down no matter what.
CEO Yang’s assistant said in a low voice, “Director Liang has been suspended.”
Luo Xuzhang was satisfied, but he was also a little surprised. What were CEO Yang’s intentions, disposing of two high-ranking officials at once?
Take the opportunity to change them all?
However, he and Director Liang weren’t enemies of President Yang.
