Chapter 253 - 253: A Mantis Trying to Stop a Car
If the ordinary employees of the Ji Group could see this news, the Public Relations Department could naturally see it too.
Moreover, because of the content of their work, they saw the news earlier than most people and the information they saw was more comprehensive.
However, because it happened in the middle of the night, before Ji Chen told Old Master Ji that he would be resigning as the CEO of the Ji Group, the Public Relations Department sent the situation of public opinion to Ji Chen and his secretary according to his request.
However, Ji Chen did not give them an answer. The people in the secretary’s office could only ask them to think of a way to solve this matter as soon as possible.
At this moment, seeing that the person who came to the company was actually Ji Gao and not Ji Chen, the people from the Public Relations Department suddenly did not know if they should show Ji Gao the situation of public opinion.
After discussing for a while and seeing that Ji Chen had not come to the company, they could only hand over their report about public opinion and some of the measures they had done previously to the secretary.
Soon, news of Ji Gao’s anger and a warm reminder came from the secretary’s office.
“President Ji is very angry when he saw this document. It’s been so long, but your public relations department still hasn’t resolved this matter, causing him to begin to doubt your ability. If you don’t resolve it well, I’m afraid your entire public relations department will be punished.”
The people from the Public Relations Department looked at the reminder from the secretary’s office and felt a little helpless.
The current situation could no longer be resolved with public relations. It could even be said that there was no solution to this matter at all.
After all, there were too many videos circulating online now. They even suspected that Gu Xiao had deliberately released these evidence in front of so many people at the banquet.
If Gu Xiao had posted it personally, a single person would not have been able to spread it as quickly as now.
It could even be said that if Gu Xiao personally posted it, they might have a way to repress it.
Regardless of whether it was a simple post or methods to control public opinion, they could suppress the matter so that it would cause the lowest loss.
However, there were too many people who had filmed the video at the banquet at that time. If they repressed one, more people would still post the video. There were even people who went to the banquet and personally told this matter to the people around them.
Just like that, the news of this matter spread like a virus. It was not something that they could simply stop.
In addition, word of mouth was always the most believable. Their public relations methods were helpless in the face of word of mouth.
The head of the Public Relations Department even suspected that Gu Xiao had planned this long ago. Otherwise, why would the timing be so good?
The head of the Public Relations Department looked at the current public opinion situation and sighed, feeling a little despair in his heart.
In particular, when he saw Ji Gao standing rooted to the ground in a daze in the video, facing Gu Xiao’s accusations and not refuting at all, he felt even more despair.
He even suspected that Ji Gao was not in his right mind. With so many people watching, he did not refute or accuse Gu Xiao of slandering him. Instead, he tacitly agreed to this matter.
He wanted to hug himself with heartache.
“Department Head, what should we do now?” The staff of the Public Relations Department could not help but remind the department head when they saw him go into a daze.
The department head came back to his senses and looked at the employees who were looking at him eagerly. He sighed.
“Let me think of another way. Let’s see if we can let this matter pass.”
He did not believe what he said. After all, in front of public opinion, no matter what they did, it was no different from a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
But now, he could only comfort his employees like this.
Now, he suddenly understood why the previous head of the Public Relations Department had ignored the Ji Group’s urging to stay and left without hesitation.
Facing such a situation, he also wanted to leave!
This feeling of standing on the side of the villain was really indescribable.
Just as the head of the Public Relations Department was thinking that if Ji Gao really wanted to pursue the matter, he would directly resign, an employee of the Public Relations Department carefully came over.
“Department Head, 1 heard that because of this matter online, many shareholders of the company ignored CEO Ji’s obstruction and went straight to Old Master Ji to force him to take the blame and resign.”
The department head’s eyes lit up when he heard this.
If that was really the case, could he wait and see? Would he not have to be in a hurry to resign?
