Chapter 480 - 480: Banning Public OpOpposition
“This is bad. The matter of the two of us has been exposed. It’s already on the trending searches.”
Lu Ke cried and complained to Lin Hui. Her voice sounded pitiful. However, on the other end of the phone that Lin Hui couldn’t see, her face was indeed a little flustered, but it was far from the panic that her voice showed.
In Lu Ke’s mind, Lin Hui, as a senior executive of Dahong Company, had so much power in his hands. It was very easy for him to settle this trending topic. The only thing she was worried about was that Lin Hui would be angry because the matter was exposed.
However, Lu Ke wasn’t an ambitious person to be able to hook up with Lin Hui as his mistress at such a young age. She had always wanted to find an opportunity to tell Lin Hui’s first wife about their relationship so that they could get a divorce and achieve her goal of rising to the top.
Unfortunately, although Lin Hui seemed to like her very much and was very generous to her, he had never shown any intention of divorcing his wife. Therefore, he had been strictly guarding against the news that the two of them were together, causing her to have no way to contact his wife.
Now that this matter had come to light, although it had a significant impact on Lu Ke’s career, if she could successfully rise to the top, she would be a rich lady. What was a small career to her?
Therefore, after Lu Ke’s panic, she quickly understood the benefits involved. She felt a little lucky in her heart, thinking that this matter might be a blessing in disguise for her.
However, Lu Ke didn’t expect Lin Hui to have a bigger reaction than she had expected.
He was shocked at first, then he said in a gloomy tone,
“Don’t do anything!” He hung up the phone.
Lin Hui was indeed panicking. In Lu Ke’s eyes, their matter was just a relationship problem of a mistress. However, for Lin Hui, the matter was much more serious than this.
There were many reasons why he had never thought of getting a divorce. Firstly, although he didn’t have any feelings for his first wife, he had a good relationship with the two children. He didn’t want to fall out with them.
Secondly, if he were to bring his family matters to court, it would give people the impression that he was incompetent. After all, in the hearts of the people, one had to cultivate one’s moral character, govern the country, and rule the world. If one couldn’t even handle such a small matter at home, it would be easy for others to doubt one’s ability to do things.
Last but not least, it was normal for rich people to cheat on each other, but what was most important was Lu Ke i s identity. She wasn’t a live streamer under Dahong Company’s name, but she enjoyed all kinds of resources and preferential treatment from Dahong Company.
This involved the problem of transferring benefits. If the matter didn’t blow up, it would be fine if the insiders turned a blind eye to it. However, if the matter was made known to everyone and caused a serious impact on the company’s image, then the problem would be huge. The company would definitely be held accountable.
Just this alone was a heavy blow to his career.
Although he had the shares of Dahong Company in his hands and could basically guarantee that he wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life, he was only in his early forties this year and was in the prime of his life. In addition, the game company’s business was currently taking off and he had yet to reap the fruits of his harvest. So, if he were to leave at this time, Lin Hui was very unwilling.
Therefore, he wasn’t in the mood to appease his little lover, nor did he care about blaming her. After hanging up the call with Lu Ke, he hurriedly opened the trending search. At this time, the matter of his extramarital affair had jumped to the top of the trending search list in a short period.
His heart sank. He knew that for things to ferment so quickly, there must be someone behind this. Fortunately, he opened the trending news and saw that there was no concrete evidence of his affair with Lu Ke, which proved that there was still room for negotiation.
Therefore, he first got someone to contact the staff of the major social media platforms and asked them to quickly remove the trending searches and ban all discussions related to this matter.
Fortunately, as one of the internet giants, Dahong Corporation had a wide range of investments. They held investment shares in many internet platforms, so they still had this authority, so this matter wasn’t difficult to handle.
As a result, while the people were watching the show, the related articles disappeared from the trending searches. All the news and posts related to this matter were deleted within ten minutes.
This swift and decisive public relations operation immediately caused a heated discussion and backlash on the entire Internet. It immediately aroused the rebellious mentality of many people. If you don’t let me see it, I will definitely see it.
Thus, the public posted it again and again, and the platform deleted it again and again, making it very lively.
However, Lin Hui couldn’t be bothered with these things at this moment. He instructed the public relations team under him to suppress the heat of the matter and immediately called Ren Rong..
