"As long as there are no flaws, given the current situation, we hold a significant advantage. In contrast, Bai Shishi hasn’t even reacted yet. What good is it to cooperate with the military? Our Yue Family has so many people in key positions within the military; if Bai Shishi wants to leverage military power, that would be incredibly foolish. Besides, this is a business matter, how could the military possibly intervene?" Yue Rong said dismissively with a smile.

Bai Yu enjoyed hearing about Bai Shishi’s misfortunes; it made her inexplicably happy.

"What we need to do now is strike while the iron is hot and leave Bai Shishi with no room to fight back!"

"Oh? Hussy, what idea have you come up with this time?"

"No particular idea, just killing people..."

"Who are you planning to kill this time?" Li Shan asked with a smile.

This woman was indeed ruthless; in order to bring down Bai Shishi, she was the mastermind behind the factory explosion, and it was her who took action. For this, eight lives were sacrificed, yet no one present there cared about those lives.

"I’ll keep it a secret for now, you’ll find out when the time comes."

...

Bai Shishi browsed through today’s news about Qiansimei. He only felt like his head was about to explode.

He couldn’t understand why these employee families held such a grudge against him. They received substantial compensation, yet instead of speaking good things, they smeared dirt, making Qiansimei look like some kind of cult.

"Why the long face? How about we go for hotpot? Or maybe some crawfish? Or, we can hit up a skewer place and have a few beers." Lin Tian said with a smile.

"..." Bai Shishi glared at Lin Tian and said, "You still feel like eating? The entire nation is laughing at us right now. You provided a venue and prepared good food and drinks for those reporters and families. Look at this, they’re a bunch of ingrates!"

Lin Tian kept smiling; he’d already anticipated Bai Shishi’s reaction. He said with a chuckle, "Let me ask you, is what the news is saying true?"

Bai Shishi rolled his eyes, "Of course not. Do you really need to ask that?"

"So there you have it. We don’t need to be upset with these people; if we are blameless, we have nothing to fear."

"That’s all well and good to say, but... right now public opinion could crush us!" Bai Shishi said with a furrowed brow.

"The truth will be revealed someday. It’s meal time; we have to eat, so let’s eat first and solve the problem afterwards." Lin Tian said. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"How will we solve it?"

"I’ll tell you after we eat."

Bai Shishi resigned himself to picking himself up a bit and called Mei Ruyan; the three of them left together.

As they came downstairs, they could hear the employees discussing, but upon seeing the three of them, they quickly stopped talking and picked up again once they left.

"Lin Tian, what’s your solution actually about?" Bai Shishi persisted.

Lin Tian’s mouth slightly curled up as he replied, "You’ll know once we’re there."

The two women had no choice but to sit in his car and drive to a private room at a seafood restaurant.

Upon entering the private room, Bai Shishi quickly noticed a woman sitting there—an exceptionally beautiful woman.

What drew attention the most was the woman’s smile. Even though it was just a greeting smile, it was like a warm breeze in winter, easily engendering warmth and goodwill.

"Hey, you’re already here? Have you ordered?" Lin Tian greeted with a smile.

"You invited me; could I dare not come? I’ve ordered a few dishes, see if there’s anything else you want to add," the woman said with a smile.

"Lin Tian, aren’t you going to introduce this beauty?" Bai Shishi said, casting a sidelong glance at Lin Tian, tinged with a bit of jealousy.

How come this guy always seems to have such beautiful women around him!

Even seeing it more often myself, I start to lose a bit of confidence!

Lin Tian chuckled and said, "Let me introduce you. This...

Suddenly, the woman noticed Bai Shishi’s puzzled expression and stood up, saying, "This lovely lady here is Jiang Huaisi, our Kanyue City’s acknowledged PR queen. She’s also our ally this time."

Actually, Qiansimei has its own PR department, usually handling various adverse events for the company.

But take this situation for instance, the PR department has done a lot of work, and there is some effect, but under this broader context, it’s not that noticeable.

"Jiang Huaisi?" This name sounded so familiar to Bai Shishi, like he’d heard it somewhere before, just couldn’t remember it for a moment.

"Huaisi Company." Mei Ruyan gently reminded.

Bai Shishi reacted; he might not know Jiang Huaisi, but he certainly knew Huaisi Company.

This company is renowned in Kanyue City; their main business is crisis PR.

Crisis PR involves utilizing relationships, resources, and strategies to help any enterprise overcome challenges.

Huaisi Company stands as a leader among PR firms, saving countless companies’ reputations and rescuing numerous enterprises. It is known as the leading PR firm.

Thinking of this, Bai Shishi’s jealousy vanished; he smiled and said, "I’ve heard of the PR queen’s reputation before; with you here, half our company’s crisis is probably solved."

After speaking, Bai Shishi gave Lin Tian a look filled with playful resentment. The implication being: Why didn’t you tell me earlier about meeting such a figure! Made me worry needlessly on the way!

"Hehe, Mr. Bai doesn’t know me yet, but is already so confident in me. I’m suddenly feeling that the problem you’re facing isn’t that difficult after all," Jiang Huaisi said with a gentle smile.

Lin Tian sat on a chair and said, "Let’s eat and talk; I also brought you a gift box."

As he spoke, Lin Tian handed over the gift box he was holding, with a laugh, "Inside are the products from our company—White Lotus Muscle Powder, Lingqi Wrinkle Cream, and Imperial Dome Hair Growth Agent. There are two sets, just a small gift."

For Jiang Huaisi, receiving such small gifts during PR assignments is common, so she thought nothing of it.

She casually accepted it and, smiling, said, "Your products are always well-received, selling out once released. I wanted to buy some but haven’t had the chance. If I knew you were the boss of this company, I would’ve asked for ten boxes long ago."

Jiang Huaisi also has another identity—as a member of the Special Action Unit Team 10 in the Security Management Institute. She went on a mission with Lin Tian not long ago, so they were somewhat familiar and could joke around harmlessly.
