Chapter 139: Night Rain

“This happened because of you. If it affects the company, you have to bear the consequences yourself.

Back then, I felt that you were too young to take over the company, and that something might happen if you did. Now, it’s come true.

If it really affects the share price and causes the company’s interests to be damaged, you should think about how to explain it to the shareholders.”

The more Li Jianming looked at Luo Chen, the more he disliked him. Eventually, his face also darkened.

Initially he had felt that although Luo Chen was a little young, he should still give the young people a chance. If he could really lead the company to better development, it might not be a bad thing.

But now, it seemed that what he had thought back then was really ridiculously wrong!

He really should have followed his sixth sense back then!

In the end, Luo Chen was just a profligate son. He was raised in a rich family so what ability could he have?

Now that such a big thing had happened, coupled with the fact that the company’s quarterly evaluation was about to begin, the losses could be said to be heavy!

“No, there must be a misunderstanding. I dealt with them alone yesterday. Even if I was really photographed, it could be considered self-defense!”

Luo Chen closed the file, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

If he hadn’t experienced it personally, he might have thought that he had participated in a gang fight just by looking at the photos revealed by the media.

After all, those angles had been carefully selected. It seemed that Luo Chen had many people helping him.

But in fact, it was purely because many of the thugs were beaten up by him until they were too delirious to find their own camp!

“What’s the point of telling me this? Whether I believe you or not does not mean a thing to the company’s development!

If you really didn’t do it, you should explain it to the public! As long as they all believe you, it won’t matter if we old fellows believe you or not!”

Li Jianming pointed at Luo Chen with two fingers and left angrily.

He could tell that Luo Chen did not take this matter to heart at all. In fact, he seemed to be at ease.

If he continued to stay, he would only anger himself!

There was silence in the office after that.

Luo Chen held his forehead in distress as he continued to browse through the photos.

He racked his brains but could not figure out where the people who took the photos had hidden.

Moreover, if what Da Wei said was true and these thugs had come to cause trouble because they had accepted a mission, then why would anyone follow them?

He couldn’t even do the most basic confidentiality work well?

Or was it purely a coincidence?

Recalling the content of the original text, Luo Chen could only vaguely remember an inconspicuous description.

As the antagonist, he had wanted to trick Ye Bei on the way, so he issued a bounty and had a group of thugs surround Ye Bei when he went out alone.

But in the end, they were all beaten to a pulp by Ye Bei. As Luo Chen was still clamoring around, Ye Bei decided to teach him a lesson too.

However, why was it the other way around now?

He was clearly the villain!

How could someone do something more villainous than a villain!

No matter how he thought about it, this was probably the only fight he could match up to.

However, because the plot had already changed, the target of this attack changed from Ye Bei to Luo Chen.

It was understandable.

However, it would take a lot of effort to deal with this huge problem.

“Young Master, what do you think we should do about this? The people in the company are all worried. If we don’t deal with it as soon as possible, I’m afraid it will be difficult to advance some future projects.”

Seeing that he seemed to be in a daze, the secretary asked carefully.

“Nothing much. Didn’t Chairman Li mention it? Get ready. We’ll hold a press conference in the afternoon.”

Luo Chen waved his hand helplessly.

In the original plot, he had been taught a lesson, so he naturally had to leave the finishing touches to Ye Bei.

Now, it has happened to him.

It was quite complicated to clean up this huge mess.

Even Luo Chen had an inexplicable thought.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea if things went according to the original plot. At the very least, he could now block Ye Bci’s door and cause trouble for him.

Then, he wouldn’t need to be scratching his head here.

That was what he thought, but the matter still had to be resolved fast.

The secretary agreed and quickly ran out of the office.

Luo Chen felt a little baffled. It seemed that the secretary’s reaction was a little exaggerated.

“Is she afraid of me?”

He didn’t think too much about it and started to prepare the speech for the news conference in the afternoon.

If nothing went wrong, he only had one chance. If anything went wrong at the press conference, there would be no way to salvage the situation.

If the public opinion was stirred up at any other time, Luo Chen could have ignored it. In any case, this meant that he was stronger. It was a way to vaguely remind those who were hiding in the dark not to act rashly.

But now, he was in a very delicate situation.

The establishment of the Chamber of Commerce could not have any mishaps. Hence, he could only suffer for the time being.

At this moment, the office line on the table suddenly rang crazily.

This phone was usually used by internal personnel to contact each other. With Luo Chen’s identity and his elusive whereabouts, no one would call him usually. But today, it rang.

Luo Chen had no choice but to answer the call.

“Boss… I’m the Manager of the public relations department, Wang Ying…”

A clear and pleasant female voice came from the other end of the phone, but her tone was mixed with a hint of difficulty.

“Yes, go ahead. I’m listening.”

Luo Chen could already guess what she was calling for, but he could not hang up.

“It’s like this, Boss. Due to the public opinion that is constantly fermenting on the Internet, the company’s web portal has been attacked by unknown hackers. The technical issues have already been urgently dealt with, but the damage has already been done.”

Wang Ying let out a long sigh and said helplessly.

If it was not necessary, she would not want Luo Chen to worry about these things. However, if the portal was hacked and could not be restored in a short period of time, it would probably attract a larger attack.

It was even very likely that the company’s data would be leaked because of this.

“Let the technical department handle it as much as possible. If they really can’t handle it, give up. I’ll hold a press conference in the afternoon to explain everything to the public.”

After a short silence, Luo Chen said word by word.

No matter how troublesome it was to deal with this matter, this matter had happened because of him. He had to resolve it..
