Chapter 294 The storm dissipated, Zhang Shuo became a god in a battle!
A budding plan.
Before public opinion continued to ferment, a public statement was quickly issued.
In addition to strongly refuting the authenticity of the report and stating that those who spread the rumors will be held legally accountable, the statement also highlighted that Zhang Shuo, CEO of Sprout Group, plans to transfer 20% of his Sprout shares to Chunmiao Fund.
, continue to support public welfare undertakings.
As soon as the announcement came out, there was indeed another wave of public opinion.
“Cute king is awesome!!!”
"It's time for some people to shut up. Compared with the cute king, who do they mean?"
"Such a cute king, even if he is the richest man in China, he is worthy of his title."
"The cute king is a role model for our young people!!!"
The Internet was full of praises, and all the previous ghosts and ghosts were instantly wiped away.
Zhang Shuo reshaped his golden body.
The second uncle also acted very quickly. The newspaper involved quickly withdrew the relevant report, and the reporter involved also publicly apologized.
Just when the outside world thought that this storm was about to dissipate.
Someone suddenly broke the news on the Internet, saying that Zhang Shuo, as a billionaire, actually took advantage, squeezed out the places of other students, and openly received a scholarship from Binhai University.
The whistleblower also posted a list of Binhai University postgraduate scholarships, and Zhang Shuo's name was clearly on the list.
"what's the situation???"
"No way, does a person with the status of Meng Wang also need to receive a scholarship?"
The first reaction of netizens was that they didn’t believe it.
But the whistleblower’s evidence is conclusive and the truth cannot be refuted.
"This is a bit out of order."
"The cute king won't say one thing and do another, right? He's obviously doing charity work, but he even wants to take advantage of the scholarship?"
"The IQ upstairs is worrying, and the billions of real money that has sprouted have been scattered. How would the cute king care about this mere scholarship of a few thousand dollars? It's not even enough for a meal."
"Then how do you explain this?"
"Just because King Meng is rich, very rich, this matter is even worse. Yes, this scholarship may not be worth much to King Meng, but for some people whose family conditions are not good, it may be life-saving money."
"It's indeed a bit inappropriate."
The direction of public opinion gradually turned against Zhang Shuo.
"I heard that the cute king is a postgraduate student at Binhai University after graduation. Is there something fishy in this?"
"I am a CEO of a company, but I am still studying at Binhai University. I always feel that something is wrong."
"It's just for show, right? Set up a scholarly figure!"
"What's even more ironic is that someone who spends three days fishing and two days drying nets actually got a scholarship."
"Hey, I watched him build a tall building, and then watched his building collapse."
"Idols can be disillusioned in an instant..."
It can be clearly felt that there is a group of people on the Internet who are deliberately setting the pace.
"Without investigation, there is no right to speak. Are some people's drama too much?"
"The matter is still under investigation, and the coffin has begun to be finalized?"
Of course, there were some rationalists who spoke, but they were quickly drowned in the wave of verbal criticism. On the Internet, everyone still habitually exports their emotions, and it is easy to accept the emotional output of others.
Present facts and reason, why are you just joking?
Fortunately, it is still only 2012, and netizens are active in post bars, forums and other places. In a few years, with the rise of self-media, short videos, and scarves, it will become even more chaotic.
It's impossible to see it at all.
Just like this time, maybe those who just exaggerated Shuo and are now scolding Zhang Shuo are the same people.
It’s too easy to be led by others.
They will not make independent judgments based on facts and logic. They only rely on simple three-view moral logic and personal likes and dislikes, but make groundless speculations and accusations.
The result is that every time things turn around, you get a slap in the face, but you don't remember it at all.
Of course.
It may also be said that for some people, it is too difficult to make independent judgments.
Then the best way is to remain silent before the matter settles down, and don't end up easily. You may unintentionally become an accomplice of some ill-intentioned people, and be careful to make yourself angry.
………
Sprout Building.
In the top-floor office, not only Zhang Shuo was present, but also rotating president Lu Kai, vice president Jiang Yue, director of the president's office Chen Xiaowan, administrative secretary Dai Yutong, and the group's public relations manager.
The atmosphere is a little solemn.
Obviously, the public opinion turmoil from the outside world has spread to the inside of the Sprout Group, and it is regarded as a major public relations crisis by the Sprout executives headed by Lu Kai.
Fortunately, Sprout Group is not listed, otherwise, today's stock price is expected to stage a triple dive.
"This is someone who is determined to pour dirty water on me."
Zhang Shuo himself is very calm.
Years of experience have trained him to be calm and calm. The more serious things happen to him, the less panic he will have.
When he panicked, the people below also panicked.
"Mr. Zhang, we have found out. The person who broke the news is called Li Ming. He is your classmate and his family conditions are average. Preliminary judgment is that he posted online to vent his anger because he missed the scholarship."
The manager of the public relations department was the first to report.
If something like this happens, even if Zhang Shuo doesn't say anything, the people below will investigate and eliminate the whistleblower.
"Posting to vent your anger? It's not that simple." Zhang Shuo shook his head.
"We have contacted Binhai University as soon as possible, and the school responded that an independent investigation team has been set up and will provide a detailed investigation conclusion that can withstand scrutiny as soon as possible."
When things got to this point, Binhai University established an investigation team, which was actually a way of protecting Zhang Shuo.
"Never put any additional pressure on Binhai University."
After the incident happened, everyone from counselor Qiu Jiahui to Dean Tong and then to Principal He called Zhang Shuo and expressed their attitude of "believing in Zhang Shuo and supporting Zhang Shuo."
This is normal.
In particular, Qiu Jiahui knew the truth and knew that Zhang Shuo had indeed been wronged this time.
Qiu Jiahui personally went to the library to discuss the scholarship quota with Zhang Shuo. She originally wanted Zhang Shuo to promote his style, but Zhang Shuo refused to give in.
No one expected that such a follow-up would happen.
Zhang Shuo is now a money-giving boy in the eyes of various universities. Especially after the scandal of the richest man, Chunmiao Fund received 20% of the shares of Germination, which made people even more envious.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Binhai University is Zhang Shuo's alma mater, and something like this happened at a critical moment. Principal He was almost depressed, fearing that Zhang Shuo would have a negative impact on Binhai University.
What a bad opinion.
Even if the PR department of Germination did not take the initiative to contact him, Principal He would still give Zhang Shuo a piece of scotch tape.
Zhang Shuo, on the other hand, did not make any statement.
But the more this happened, the more uneasy Principal He and Dean Tong became.
"Don't worry!"
Public relations managers are also experienced in handling crises, so they will naturally not make such stupid mistakes.
"Li Ming's family is not in good condition. Why don't we use the Chunmiao Fund to help?" Jiang Yue naturally hoped to lower her profile and gain the understanding of the person involved.
"unnecessary!"
Zhang Shuo flatly refused, with a very tough attitude, "I act upright, sit upright, and am not afraid of investigation. If I do this now, wouldn't it be a disguised admission of guilt? Those bugs are probably eager for us to make mistakes."
If it's just to break the news or complain online.
Everyone can understand this.
But just when the rich man's scandal was about to subside, such a thing suddenly broke out. Zhang Shuo found it hard to believe that it was just a simple coincidence.
The person who broke the news may have been instigated by someone, and his intentions are terrible.
Zhang Shuo would not have any sympathy for such a person. Apart from keeping a respectful distance, he would not mind teaching this person a lesson after the matter was investigated.
Still a classmate!
Fortunately, Zhang Shuo is not the kind of white lotus who has not yet stepped out of the ivory tower of the university. He has long been immersed in the world and has always kept away from so-called classmates.
If it had been someone like Tang Yu, it would have been very frustrating.
"Mr. Zhang, I want to use my personal connections to investigate in private and find out who is sabotaging us behind the scenes." Lu Kai stood up and expressed his position at the right time.
He encountered such a crisis when he first took office, so he naturally had to go all out.
"good."
Of course, Zhang Shuo is not a pushover. It is impossible for him to not fight back after being bullied over and over again.
Now the crux of the matter.
The first is to handle the public opinion crisis, and the second is to find the initiator.
If you don't even know who the enemy is, then the battle will be won or lost.
In fact, before Lu Kai made his statement, Zhang Shuo had arranged for Li Feng to be the contact person and secretly launched an investigation. It was necessary to uncover those who were hiding their secrets.
He didn't bother to engage in such low-profile methods, but the enemy had no lower limit.
Then I had to play with him.
"Okay, let's all get busy. Do what you have to do, and don't let a little public opinion on the Internet affect our own rhythm. This little disturbance can't change the world." Zhang Shuo began to drive people away.
After all, although he is nicknamed an Internet celebrity, he is not really an Internet celebrity. He has no reliance on traffic, word-of-mouth, personality, etc., and he does not rely on this to make a living.
Not to mention that Zhang Shuo did nothing wrong, even if his personal ethics were really bad, it would not affect Germination.
The main thing is not to get into trouble.
………
It's the weekend in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Shuo, however, still couldn't get over it. The matter was so big that his parents, Xu Jia, Binzi and other friends, including classmates in his class, all sent messages of condolence.
Some even complained about Li Ming.
"Li Ming is just jealous, lard has blinded his heart!"
"I never expected that someone like Li Ming, who was a classmate, would engage in backstabbing."
"This person is usually very cautious."
Smart classmates have realized that if Li Ming makes such a fuss, even if the matter is settled smoothly later, there will definitely be feelings between Zhang Shuo and his classmates.
It was not a harmonious relationship to begin with, and it was immediately frozen.
Some students originally hoped that with the help of their classmate relationship with Zhang Shuo, even if they were not close, they would be able to enter a job in the future after graduation.
Now it is inevitable to jump up and scold me.
What a great network of people and resources, so wasted.
Many people even scolded Li Ming behind his back for being too short-sighted. Not to mention that Zhang Shuo didn't squeeze out the scholarship quota. He just did it. What can he do if he puts up with it?
Compared to the thousands of dollars in scholarships, Zhang Shuo himself is the one piece!
………
Monday, January 9th.
Binhai University acted very quickly and announced the results of the investigation in just one weekend.
The investigation team reviewed the test papers of all candidates in the class, organized teachers to re-mark the papers, and concluded that Zhang Shuo's scores in all subjects were true and valid. He was indeed the first in the class and met the conditions for scholarship award.
There is no such thing as "crowding out" other students' scholarship quotas.
At the same time, Binhai University also reviewed the test papers of Zhang Shuo's postgraduate examination with Binhai City officials. The test results were also true and valid, and he ranked first in the written examination.
Once the investigation results were announced, they once again caused waves on the Internet.
no way.
This past weekend, everyone just pointed at melon.
"Is this a shocking reversal? 6666"
"Let me go, the cute king is still a real academic master, awesome!!!"
"Haha, some people say grapes are sour because they can't eat them. Are you dumbfounded this time?"
"Are the investigation results credible? Maybe the school intends to protect Zhang Shuo. Yes, Zhang Shuo is a rich man, so naturally he would not dare to offend him." Some people continued to be weird.
"I am also a classmate of Zhang Shuo. I can say with certainty that Meng Wang is indeed a top student."
"I am also from Binhai University. You don't know that Meng Wang spends at least three days in a week reading in the library. I am ashamed of myself for his diligence."
"Tsk tsk, as the saying goes, people who are more successful than you have to work harder than you."
"There is no shortcut to success."
"Haha, some people don't believe in official and authoritative investigation reports, but they firmly believe in some so-called spooky news on the Internet that they don't even dare to reveal their real names. Are they stupid or just plain bad?"
"Based on the simplest logic, who could have imagined that the cute king would go to great lengths to publicize the marking teachers for each subject just to get those thousands of dollars in scholarships? Are you crazy?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Isn't that to establish a scholarly figure?" Some people are not convinced.
"Haha, if the cute king really wants to create a character, why didn't he say a word about getting the scholarship, including the test scores? Before this matter was exposed, does anyone know?"
"The cute king's low profile has been misunderstood as weakness. It's really hateful!"
"Hug the cute king!!!"
Although there are still people trying to muddy the waters, Binhai University's investigation report is detailed, solid, and has targeted responses to previous online public opinions, so it is still very authoritative.
As soon as the report came out, most of the melon-eaters "woke up".
After this wave of public opinion reversed, not only did it not cause damage to Zhang Shuo's image, but it also established a persona for Zhang Shuo as an academic master, and he gained more fans online.
He has become the super idol of countless boys and girls, fans of younger brothers and younger sisters.
"Young, handsome, caring, academic, average, and talented. Oh my God, the cute king is simply the perfect male god who came out of the second dimension. Is it true?"
"Woo woo woo, love it, love it..."
"I don't want to have a cute king, I just want to be favored by the cute king once, and I will be satisfied in this life."
………
Binhai City, a villa.
"Why!!!"
Zhu Yuhan felt very upset after reading the comments made by netizens.
The online fan girl just clamored that she had a "blind date" experience with Zhang Shuo in real life, but unfortunately she passed by Zhang Shuo.
Thinking about his extremely failed marriage, Zhu Yuhan almost cried.
"Why!!!"
………
Sprout Building.
Faced with the surging public opinion, Zhang Shuo had no choice but to wait and see.
Take rival Scarlet Capital as an example. Not to mention whether they participated this time, even if they did, Scarlet Capital and Germinal Group are on two completely different tracks.
Even if Zhang Shuo wanted to deal with Scarlet Capital, he couldn't find a suitable breakthrough for a while.
I can only write down one entry in a small notebook.
"Mr. Zhang, the first draft of the overall planning and design of the Germination Industrial Park is out. Take a look!" Jiang Yue also looked as usual and quickly got into his new work.
"not bad."
Zhang Shuo doesn't know much about planning and design. Looking at the renderings, he can only make an evaluation based on his first impression.
Fortunately, in this design bidding, the finalists were all the world's top design teams, and professional reviewers were hired to check the design at all levels, and there were no fancy personalized designs.
On the whole, it's quite satisfactory and in line with Zhang Shuo's golden mean.
“The first draft of the design is out, and it’s time to follow up with the subsequent land acquisition.”
Zhang Shuo knocked on the table, raised his head and said: "Let's do this. You come forward to contact Houhai and come up with a package solution to acquire all the remaining land in the industrial park. Then mortgage these lands to the bank and obtain a mortgage loan.
."
Overall, it will not consume too much liquidity.
According to the previous agreement between the Sprout Group and Houhai, the development of the Sprout Industrial Park was to be started within two years, but now it is more than a year ahead of schedule.
Houhai is definitely happy to see the results.
Zhang Shuo did this because of the scandal involving the richest man, which pushed him to the forefront. He must be more careful in doing things in the future to avoid being picked on by others.
The Germination Industrial Park planning has entered the Houhai overall planning, which is itself under pressure.
in this case.
As the financial situation allowed, Zhang Shuo no longer delayed and started the construction of the industrial park ahead of schedule.
"OK!"
This time, Jiang Yue did not come forward to object.
The current sprout is indeed fully funded and has the confidence to develop and build industrial parks.
It's magical when you think about it.
When Zhang Shuo proposed the plan for the Germination Industrial Park, Jiang Yue thought it was too crazy, but in the blink of an eye, the matter had already entered the implementation stage.
Who will believe it?
………
After getting off work in the afternoon, Zhang Shuo was stopped by a reporter.
When Li Feng saw this, he was about to stop him.
"nothing."
Zhang Shuo does not object to being interviewed, "I will only answer two questions."
"OK."
The reporter was very excited, "Excuse me, Mr. Zhang, will you hold your classmate Li Ming legally responsible?"
Dig a hole as soon as you come up.
These reporters really just watch the excitement and don't take it too seriously.
"I will give priority to respecting the school's handling opinions and believe that the school will give a fair treatment."
Of course, Zhang Shuo cannot be fooled.
Binhai University made it clear when it released the investigation report that there will be follow-up steps in the investigation and handling of Li Ming.
"Then will you choose to forgive Li Ming? After all, this incident did not have any negative impact on you in the end, and Li Ming is still just a student."
"The way to a university lies in Ming Ming De. As a graduate student, before doing academic work, you must first learn to be a human being. If you fail to learn well and have flaws as a human being, then you are really not worthy of sympathy."
Zhang Shuo's words were a bit harsh.
It was almost like nailing Li Ming to the pillar of shame.
It is true that he is a kind person, but he is not a good person, and he does not need to establish a glorious image of magnanimity and perfection to the outside world.
It is appropriate to speak cruel words to others and do some cruel things.
No harm!
Lest cats and dogs dare to show their teeth at him and think he is a pushover.
The reporter continued to ask, but was stopped by Li Feng.
………
Later, Zhang Shuo's remarks indeed spread on the Internet.
"well said!!"
"If your family conditions are average, it shouldn't be a source of jealousy, let alone a fig leaf for slander and ostentation. If your family conditions are average, shouldn't you study hard? But you want to engage in crooked ways, oh, bah!!"
"It's just that the conditions are average, but the study is not as hard as the cute king. If he can't win the exam, he uses some dirty tricks and even tries to win sympathy. It's really embarrassing to be with him!!!"
"There is no better scumbag than this!"
This time, the public opinion online is one-sided and basically wants Li Mingshe to die.
………
On January 10, Zhang Shuo appeared in Magic City and attended the completion ceremony of Qingyun Data's Magic City data center project, and received a warm reception from Magic City.
Both inside and outside the words, he was inviting Mo Ya to increase investment in the Magic City.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Netizens are not too big a deal to watch the excitement, and it is just a gust of wind. When the excitement has passed, it will pass. People in the circle are different, they really realize that
The incredible wealth of the Sprout Group.
No.
It can no longer be said to have potential, the current sprout is already a piece of cake.
The next day.
Zhang Shuo flew to Haijin City again and attended the completion ceremony of the Haijin Data Center project.
They also received warm hospitality from Haijin City.
It is not difficult to find that although the scandal of the richest man has gradually dissipated, the subsequent impact is still lingering. Zhang Shuo has such a halo on his head that he is the focus of attention wherever he goes.
It can be said to be a happy trouble.
………
Binhai University.
While Zhang Shuo was busy on a business trip, Principal He held an emergency meeting to discuss the handling of Li Ming.
Dean Tong and Qiu Jiahui are both there.
Regardless of whether Li Ming was instigated by others behind his back, spreading false news on the Internet has had a serious negative impact on Zhang Shuo's reputation, but it is an indisputable fact.
Sprout has stated that if the school does not handle the matter, Sprout will file a lawsuit for reputation infringement.
Enough for Li Ming to drink a pot.
"How about expelling me directly?"
Dean Tong was the first to speak, and he was obviously affected by Zhang Shuo's remarks. He thought that according to Zhang Shuo's subtext, he hoped that the school would expel Li Ming as a warning to others.
"inappropriate!"
Principal He shook his head, "Firing Li Ming is easy, but it may not be the best way to deal with Zhang Shuo."
"Too."
Dean Tong also reacted.
Of course Zhang Shuo wouldn't care about Li Ming's life or death, but if the school fired Li Ming outright, then outside public opinion would subconsciously sympathize with the weak and think that Zhang Shuo was using his power to suppress others.
The public opinion that has just been reversed will probably create waves again.
"Let's do this, give Li Ming a stay on campus for probation." Principal He finally made the decision.
Qiu Jiahui sighed in her heart.
Regardless of the fact that it is just a probation, for Li Ming, it may not be better than being expelled. In the future, whether it is in the class, with the tutor, or in the school, he will have almost no place to stand.
It's considered ruined.
"I'm really blinded by lard. It's not good to provoke anyone, but I want to provoke Zhang Shuo!"
