Lu Yaohua said angrily, “Good, good! I want to see which newspaper will publish this piece of news! Do you think I’ve lived in Shanghai for nothing?!”
Lu Ming was happy that he was angry.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make you famous.”
With that, the other party hung up.
Lu Ming clicked his tongue. “He dares to challenge me with such mental fortitude?” he thought.
He took out his cell phone and dialed a number. He said, “Spread the news of the Lu Corporation cutting corners and building dangerous apartments. Then there’s the matter of Li Xiaomei…”
He had asked someone from Metropolitan to interview Li Xiaomei just now. As long as these two incidents were exposed, the Lu family would definitely not be able to react!
Instantly, news of the Lu Family using poor-quality building materials made its way to the hot searches list.
It triggered a storm of explosive comments on Weibo!
[“What’s going on? The Lu family is actually building dangerous apartments? Luckily, I didn’t buy one previously because I thought it was too expensive. Otherwise, I would have lost my life. To cut back so much on material costs—well, what can I say!”]
[“F*ck! My uncle and auntie bought one. They said that their home is like a cave with a waterfall on rainy days, and that whatever feedback they gave was useless. So it’s a dangerous home!? I have to inform them quickly!”]
[“Why are you only telling me now? I just bought a Lu Corporation apartment with the salary I saved over the years. Is it too late for me to cancel now? I regret it so much!”]
[“It’s said that the people who bought the Lu Corporation apartment have rallied together. Such unscrupulous businessmen should be reprimanded to death! Doesn’t it hurt your conscience to cheat ordinary people?! Oh right, someone died in a Lu Corporation construction site. Go check out the second trending topic!”]
…
Metropolitan’s newspaper sales were also increasing rapidly!
Judging from the momentum, it seemed like Metropolitan was about to surpass the newspaper in the top place!
Lu Ming was also paying attention to this matter online. His cell phone suddenly rang.
“Boss, our newspapers are selling very well! Now, we just need to acquire some good paper media and we will be able to reach the top smoothly. Do you want to acquire them?”
There was obvious joy in his voice.
Even Lu Ming’s heart could not help but beat faster. “Acquisition. I want Metropolitan to become the top media in the country!”
Then he dialed another number. “Send a few people to the Lu Corporation…”
Lu Corporation.
There was a huge crowd at the entrance. They were all victims of apartment purchase!
They had a huge banner in their hands that read, ‘Black-hearted Group, refund my apartment purchase!’
A middle-aged man in the lead shouted loudly, “Lu Yaohua! Someone from your company, come out and give us an explanation! Otherwise, we won’t disperse! Evil company! Return my money!”
Once he shouted, others also said, “Evil company! Return my money!”
The noise continued for a long time.
The Lu Corporation’s executives were also in a conundrum!
“Director Shi, quickly call the chairman! If this continues, the Lu Corporation will definitely be in trouble!”
“Yes, yes! Director Shi, quickly ask the chairman what to do.”
“If they block the door like this, we won’t even be able to go home! The employees are all reacting.”
…
Shi Tian hurriedly nodded. “I’ll go ask the chairman now.”
When Lu Yaohua found out that the company had been surrounded, he almost fainted again!
“Why?” he wondered.
“Why would Metropolitan publish this matter!?”
He wondered if Lu Ming knew the boss of Metropolitan.
Other than that, he couldn’t think of any other possibility.
After all, the Lu Corporation seldom interacted with Metropolitan and he did not have the chance to offend the other party. It could only be Lu Ming.
“Damn it!” he thought.
