"Classmate Lin, in my opinion, this matter should not have reached this level at all. It is obviously just a small misunderstanding."
After Lin Yi and his senior sister expressed their attitude to the school, a school leader finally came forward to do their job.
"Are you really not considering meeting with Mr. Liu? In fact, this matter does not have to remain at a stalemate here. I am very happy to serve as your intermediary and introduce you to each other."
"From the school's perspective, both of you are very outstanding alumni of ours. We would be very sorry if there is any misunderstanding between you."
It’s hard to explain clearly the role certain people played in this matter, but to point it out to this extent is to say that they are confiding.
The school leader who was talking to Lin Yi spoke in a very sincere tone. Lin Yi did not doubt his words, but still shook his head firmly.
"We are strangers to Mr. Liu, and we don't think there will be any misunderstandings with him. Mr. Liu has his own opinions on this matter and we respect it. In short, the school only needs to handle it fairly."
After hearing this, the school leaders only felt like they had a toothache. This was the first time that they were troubled by the fact that their family had so many outstanding alumni.
Needless to say, Liu Taishan had been a sign of the school for many years before Lin Yi appeared.
As for Lin Yi, he was originally promoted as an outstanding achievement in the school's talent training in recent years, and his leadership was considered proud.
What is this thing called now?
In fact, the school leaders didn't want to get involved in their grudges at all, and wanted to complain: If you have any conflicts, can you fight them outside?
Tired.
In any case, the school will not expel Lin Yi, otherwise it will really hold him accountable for not complying with study disciplines. So who gave him a break before?
But on the other hand, since the old man has already made it clear that he wants to speak out, we cannot afford not to give him an explanation.
They are not magnanimous people over there.
The old one has a big face, the young one has a hard head.
The school leader actually held a closed-door meeting before he came today. If the meeting was not recorded, the school would never issue any documents.
At this time, he could only reluctantly speak:
"As for the matter between you and Li Moyan, after the school carefully studied it, we feel that the previous handling methods are indeed somewhat misleading."
"Classmate Lin, the following words are my personal suggestions to you and do not represent the school's opinion on how to handle this matter."
"It's just a suggestion, you should listen to it first."
"You see in the United States, once college students start their own business and need to devote themselves to their studies and are unable to take care of their studies, they usually choose to take a leave of absence."
"This way, we can ensure that the founder can start his own business without interference, and at the same time, he can retain his academic status for emergencies. It seems to be a very good experience."
"It just so happens that in the taxi-hailing industry you are engaged in, I heard that the founder of Uber also took a leave of absence from the University of California, Los Angeles to start a business."
When the other party said this, he paused and looked at Lin Yi very deliberately.
"You mean you want us to apply for a leave of absence?"
"It's not hope. Of course the school cherishes you two outstanding alumni and is very proud of you. In the past, the school has always provided conveniences to you within its ability."
The two outstanding alumni he mentioned here did not include Liu Taishan, but Lin Yi and Li Moyan.
"But now is a critical period for the development of the industry you are engaged in. I think what you need more may be to focus on the company's operations."
"Of course in the future, if you succeed in business or have other plans in life, Jingdian will always open the door and welcome you back to campus."
When Lin heard this, he understood that the school did not want to completely offend the two alumni by dropping out of school, but it also wanted to take care of Liu's influence.
At least stay out of the limelight.
This may be the mud they can reconcile to the greatest extent.
Lin Yi did not intend to embarrass the school on this matter. After all, this was not the main battlefield where they were competing with certain opponents.
no point.
"I understand. After I go back, my senior sister and I will submit two applications for suspension of study. Then I will ask the school to approve and process them."
"It's easy to talk about."
Although Li Moyan did not appear, Lin Yi could naturally represent the two of them. The school leaders breathed a sigh of relief at this result.
After Lin Yi returned to the company, he informed his senior sister of the outcome of the matter. Of course, she did not insist on dropping out of school.
Taking a break from school can be considered a compromise for everyone.
"But this matter isn't over yet. Liu's brains have come to the school. Wouldn't he be so willing to give up if he didn't force us to submit?"
Lin Yi felt that in Liu Taishan's view, this might not be considered a conspiracy at all, not even bullying.
It's just an ordinary use of the influence that one already has.
…
Although Lin Yi had not dealt with certain people directly, he was still foreseeing their guesses, because Wanli Travel soon encountered new encounters.
But this time it was not directed at Lin Yi.
Liu Jianni knocked on his office again and told him bad news:
"Wanli Travel has been attacked by unknown public opinion on the Internet. Suddenly, many unknown netizens used the gimmick of inside information to spread negative information, including some influential celebrities and Internet opinion leaders."
"Because the incident happened without warning, and the seemingly scattered information was actually very similar, we initially judged that someone was behind it."
"Their statement is basically that the founder of the company is arrogant and has broken up with all investors including Xiong Factory. He has especially offended the three BAT companies. It is said that he will soon be banned by the entire industry."
"For this reason, Wanli Travel's current capital reserves have reached a very dangerous situation, but there is no hope for the next round of financing, and the capital chain may be broken at any time."
What to say about these things? They cannot be completely attributed to rumors. To some extent, they still have some basis.
There are not many people who know about these things, but they are not few either. If it had not been for the suspension of school, Lin Yi would not be sure right away who was hacking him.
"I already know this."
Lin Yi received the news from Peng Yuchen. After his relationship with Gu Caiwei was exposed once, Peng Yuchen also monitored his public opinion so that he could immediately find out that someone was bringing them together again.
This time, I happened to find out about Wanli Travel being hacked, so I handed it over to him.
Of course, this does not mean that Liu Jianni's team will respond slower than Peng Yuchen. She came in with a formal situation report.
Lin Yi and his senior sister didn't inform anyone else about what happened at school, but only then did they tell their competent CFO.
Liu Jianni was just surprised by Liu Taishan's intervention, and felt that there seemed to be nothing surprising, so she said:
"Although it is true that the relationship between us and our shareholders is at loggerheads, they will not expose it to the outside world. After all, it will not be good for them."
"As for the funding shortage, it is completely unfounded. At least the previous US$1.2 billion can still be supported for several months."
"So we can definitely send out a clarification announcement. We don't have to worry about investors coming out to add insult to injury. I will also say hello in advance."
Lin Yi still had time to mock the mastermind behind the scenes: "The old guy is still a little impatient. If he spreads this news again in a few months, I'm afraid the momentum will be even greater."
After saying this, he noticed that Liu Jianni's expression was serious, as if she felt that the company's difficult situation was not a funny topic.
Okay, so Lin started to make serious arrangements: "First issue a clarification announcement, which should specifically emphasize the responsibility of holding the media responsible for spreading rumors."
"If they still don't stop, don't send any lawyer's letters, just let them collect the court summons."
