Chapter 793: Sunshine Foundation

~7 min read 1,263 words

"When did this happen?" Chen Yu asked.

Tang Xinyi fell into Silence for a moment and said, "This matter started fermenting last night. Regarding that list being fake, our Sunshine Foundation did intend to build an orphanage, but we are still in negotiations and have no procurement plans at all. This whole thing is completely groundless."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Chen Yu sighed. "If we had handled it in time last night, things wouldn't have blown up this big."

"Brother Chen, I have a clear conscience, so there is no need to handle it," Tang Xinyi smiled. "It's useless for me to defend myself now. Once the heat dies down, it will naturally be fine."

"But from now on, no one will trust the Sunshine Foundation, and even fewer will believe in the White-robed Onmyoji Group," Chen Yu said. "Where are you now? I'll come over to talk in person."

"I am in the company office," Tang Xinyi said.

"I'll be there immediately."

Half an hour later, Chen Yu arrived at the White-robed Onmyoji Building.

The Tang Clan had indeed seen glory once; the twenty-plus-story White-robed Onmyoji Building was the headquarters of the White-robed Onmyoji Group, but due to poor performance in recent years, one-third of the White-robed Onmyoji Building was already empty.

Tang Xinyi was sitting blankly in the office, and Tang Xue was there as well.

Seeing him, the two sisters stood up hurriedly and reached out to Chen Yu almost simultaneously: "Brother Chen, you're here."

Their movements were identical, and the way they reached out seemed as if they wanted to take Chen Yu's arm. This gesture was more or less intimate, but the two sisters looked at each other, froze for a moment, and then pulled their hands back.

"How is the situation?" Chen Yu asked.

"The matter is still fermenting," Tang Xinyi sighed. "Since yesterday, my phone hasn't stopped; it's all people cursing me. The incident has already spread to the White-robed Onmyoji Group, and there are even hackers attacking the company's servers. If it isn't handled well, the White-robed Onmyoji Group will fall into paralysis."

"I have already tried contacting my classmates from the journalism department to see if this matter can be resolved, but the answers they gave me are not very optimistic."

Tang Xue sighed and said, "This matter was started by Zhu Lingxue. She might be holding a grudge because of what happened at the Sunshine Foundation's founding ceremony last time."

"Have any PR companies contacted you?" Chen Yu asked. "Or any influencers with many followers who offered to solve the problem for the Sunshine Group?"

"Yes, many, but I turned them all down," Tang Xinyi said, pressing her head. "I have always believed that a straight person doesn't fear a crooked shadow."

"You did the right thing. Have you thought about it? Zhu Lingxue has many followers, she has a program on the Huaxin Agency, and more importantly, she is familiar with people in the news system. None of those so-called PR companies and influencers dare to offend her."

"Those people might just be her people. If you had really agreed, it would have indirectly indicated that the Sunshine Foundation has problems. If that happened, the consequences would be even more serious," Chen Yu said.

"Then what should we do? We are already in a very passive state, and the security department just called to say that some influencers have already set up a livestream here," Tang Xue said anxiously. "These people can turn white into black."

"Don't pay attention to them. I'll find a way," Chen Yu said calmly.

Just at this moment, Tang Xinyi's assistant entered the door: "President Tang, a blogger wants to see you, saying he can settle this matter for you."

"I won't see him," Tang Xinyi knitted her brows and spat out the two words.

"But, but he..." Before the assistant could finish, the office door opened, and a man walked in.

This man was named Zhang Cheng, a big internet celebrity with many followers. He also owned his own PR company and held a place in the internet and media circles.

"President Tang, you won't even see me? How can your problem be solved then?" Zhang Cheng walked in with a chuckle and sat straight down in the boss's chair in front of the desk.

"Get out. I don't need anyone to solve this matter for me," Tang Xinyi said angrily.

"Miss Tang, don't be so standoffish. The Sunshine Foundation is your life's work, isn't it? And this matter itself has also affected the White-robed Onmyoji Group. If it isn't resolved well, the entire Tang Clan might fall into a passive position. Is this really what you want to see?" Zhang Cheng sneered.

"Sister, listen to what he has to say," Tang Xue pulled Tang Xinyi's hand.

"Haha, the Second Miss Tang is still the reasonable one," Zhang Cheng laughed loudly. He glanced at Chen Yu and said, "There's no need for unrelated people to stay here, is there?"

"This is the general manager of our Tang Clan, you can say what you need to say," Tang Xinyi said.

"That's good, it's easier to talk when it's all our own people," Zhang Cheng nodded. "President Tang, you should know how serious the problems you are facing are, and you also know my ability in the industry."

"My PR company is fully capable of helping you solve all of this."

"How much money do you want?" Chen Yu grinned and said.

"This President Chen is quite direct," Zhang Cheng looked at Chen Yu with surprise. He stood up and said, "Alright, since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush. I want three hundred million."

"Three hundred million? To resolve this PR crisis?" Tang Xinyi said directly: "Show him out."

"Don't be in such a hurry," Chen Yu smiled and said, "Xinyi, leave this matter to me to handle."

"Brother Chen, he is just blackmailing us," Tang Xinyi frowned and said. "Our White-robed Onmyoji has a clear conscience; I don't need their PR."

"It's fine, I'll talk to him. You two go out first," Chen Yu smiled.

"Sister, let's go out. Let Brother Chen handle this matter." Tang Xue was more rational; she hurriedly pulled Tang Xinyi, and the two walked out.

"You aren't the general manager of the White-robed Onmyoji Group, are you?" Zhang Cheng wasn't a fool; he saw that Chen Yu's relationship with the two sisters was unusual.

"No, I'm a friend of theirs," Chen Yu smiled and said. "I know you. I've seen you on the news, I've seen you at various public opinion scenes, and I know your PR company is very powerful. You can turn black into white; you're the best in the country at whitewashing."

"Not bad, you know me quite deeply," Zhang Cheng smiled slightly. "Since you know me so well, you should know that I can handle this matter."

"You can't handle it," Chen Yu shook his head and said. "Because you are simply one of Zhu Lingxue's people."

"What nonsense are you spouting? She is an official person, we are considered private media; she wouldn't look down on people like us." Zhang Cheng's expression changed slightly.

"Didn't you come today under her instructions?" Chen Yu smiled. "If the Tang Clan really accepted your PR request, the news would definitely leak. Tomorrow, there would be a news exposé online: 'Tang Clan President Tang Xinyi hires internet trolls to whitewash with three hundred million in PR fees.' By then, the Sunshine Foundation would truly be completely finished."
