Chapter 138: Trending
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The next morning, when Luo Chen arrived at the company, he vaguely felt that the atmosphere was not right.
From the front desk on the first floor to the employees he met on the way, they all looked at him in a panic. Even when he tried to ask, they avoided eye contact with him.
Arriving at his office, he immediately asked the secretary what was going on.
If he didn’t ask, he wouldn’t know. But when he asked, he was shocked!
The scene of him dealing with those thugs last night was actually recorded!
“All the major media outlets fought to report it. They even attached high-definition videos and photos.”
The way the secretary looked at him was different from before. The subtle fear could not be completely hidden.
…..
“Then…”
Luo Chen frowned slightly.
The secretary sighed helplessly.
Even Luo Chen would find it difficult to deal with this kind of thing.
After all, the company was undergoing a major turn of events. Any slight movement could cause a chain reaction.
Once this kind of negative news was exposed, it might cause a storm.
At the thought of this, the secretary was worried for Luo Chen.
“Then… did I look good in the video?”
Luo Chen brushed the hair on his forehead and asked in high spirits.
“Huh?”
This time, the secretary was stunned.
She had never thought that her boss would be thinking about such an unexpected thing at a time like this!
“I looked quite handsome, right? I didn’t even mess up my hair yesterday.”
As Luo Chen spoke, he excitedly turned on the computer.
Since the media had already reported about it, it was too late to suppress it now.
He might as well see if he was handsome or not!
As soon as he opened the web portal that he often went on, the big photo on the front page popped up!
[Shocking! The eldest young master of the Luo family, Luo Chen, is actually fighting with people on the streets!]
[Do we really have to let such an unscrupulous family continue to run rampant? If this continues, we will definitely lose the hearts of the people!] [Fighting on the streets in the middle of the night. What about the lives of the people?!]
The few entries were all about Luo Chen.
After briefly browsing through the news, even Luo Chen himself was amazed!
The media’s words were surprisingly consistent. They described him as a young master who committed all kinds of crimes because of the powerful family behind him.
Their choice of words were as exaggerated as it could be.
Moreover, all the news had already determined that this matter was a brawl.
“Wow! I’ve seen news about this young master before. I finally know what it means to be a heartless rich man!”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. My family lives nearby and yet I didn’t see this commotion!”
“Heh heh, don’t you know how the Luo family started their business? They’re the scum of our country!”
“Investigate the Luo family strictly! To be able to raise such a son, they must be very arrogant!”
“That’s right. What’s revealed must only be a small portion! I don’t know how much more there is that hasn’t been exposed!”
The public opinion on the Internet was basically one-sided as no one spoke up for Luo Chen.
Perhaps there were a few rational remarks, but they were quickly drowned out and did not have much effect.
At the same time, the share price of the Luo Corporation was also affected.
Some companies that were already interested in cooperating with the Chamber of Commerce chose to wait and see for the time being and postponed the signing of the contract.
In less than half an hour since Luo Chen sat in the office, the situation had changed drastically.
If this situation continued, all the investment in the early stages would be a waste. There might not be a chance to make a comeback in the future.
Knock, knock, knock.
Just as Luo Chen was carefully browsing through the relevant information, someone suddenly knocked on the office door.
With Luo Chen’s permission, the secretary went to open the door.
A man in his fifties with graying temples walked in.
He was one of the largest shareholders of Luo Investment Corporation. His name was Li Jianming. He usually did not care much about the company’s matters, but because he held more shares, he still had a lot of say in the company.
“President Luo, I think you should give me and the company a reasonable explanation for this.”
Li Jianming did not need to be polite with Luo Chen. He sat down on the sofa and threw the freshly printed document on the desk with a dark expression. Luo Chen took a look and his mouth twitched.
He really did not know if Li Jianming did it on purpose or not. The printouts were the reports of the incident last night from various web portals.
The problem was that the printouts were all black and white!
At the center of the paper was Luo Chen’s photo!
In the photo, he was facing the camera and smiling ostentatiously.
However, with the black and white background, it looked awkward no matter how one looked at it.
“Are you the one who did this? If there’s a misunderstanding, I suggest you hold a press conference immediately to explain. Otherwise, as the matter ferments, the company will be affected more and more.”
Li Jianming tapped the thick document with his finger and said word by word.
At the same time, his tone was filled with dissatisfaction with Luo Chen.
In his opinion, if not for the fact that Luo Chen had done such stupid things without considering the consequences, the company would not have suffered such a huge blow.
“Of course it’s me who did it, but I had my own difficulties. As you can see, there were so many of them surrounding my car. If I didn’t fight back, I would be the one in trouble.”
Luo Chen pondered for a moment and explained sincerely.
To be fair, he had a good impression of Li Jianming.
This old man had also done many things that were helpful to the company in the original plot.
Although he and Luo Chen did not like each other, at least he had helped a lot in the later stage, allowing the crumbling company to last for another half a year.
Therefore, Luo Chen did not show much hostility towards him.
“Hur. So what did I see? I didn’t see anything! The news is all about you leading a group of people to fight!”
Li Jianming was amused by Luo Chen’s nonchalant tone. With a wave of his hand, the unbound documents flew into the air like snowflakes.
“What?!”
It was Luo Chen’s turn to be stunned.
How could it be a fight!
It was clearly a group of people ambushing him.
Even if he called the police, it would be treated completely as self-defense.
He read the relevant information carefully again.
As he read, Luo Chen’s expression became more and more serious.
Things seemed to have developed beyond his expectations.
All the news had completely masked the actions of those thugs.
Whether it was the deliberately directed words on the news report or all the accompanying photos, every picture and every sentence indicated that he was the one who took the initiative to cause trouble..
