Chapter 109 Help us? What does that mean?
Jiang Yang said casually, "Don't worry, Manager Chu, this group of reporters isn't here to cause trouble, but to help us."
Chu Lan was even more confused: "Help us? What do you mean?" She stared at Jiang Yang's back, then suddenly a thought flashed through her mind, "Could it be... that you found him?"
Jiang Yang simply smiled and did not reply.
Chu Lan understood.
Seeing Jiang Yang's confident demeanor, she gradually felt at ease.
Jiang Yang turned around and walked up to Chu Lan: "Now it's up to them."
In the afternoon, as expected, another group of reporters arrived at Yangxin Garment Factory.
Unlike the group of casually dressed and frivolous reporters from the morning, the reporters who came this time were all dressed in suits and ties, and looked very dignified, clearly from a reputable major newspaper.
The questions they raised were much more professional; they no longer nitpicked over minor details, but focused on the product quality and production process of Yangxin Garment Factory.
Chu Lan answered fluently, showcasing Yang Xin's strengths and sincerity to the fullest.
After the interview, the reporters left satisfied.
Chu Lan breathed a sigh of relief and walked up to Jiang Yang: "He's finally gone."
Jiang Yang smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, Manager Chu."
Chu Lan frowned: "But if we do that, both sides will have reporters covering the story, and we won't gain anything."
Jiang Yang smiled confidently: "Reporters are also divided into different levels. Manager Chu, let the dust settle for a while, and you'll know the result."
Although Chu Lan didn't understand what Jiang Yang was up to, she chose to believe him.
She nodded and turned to attend to other matters.
A few days passed.
The first report to be released was not one arranged by Jiang Yang, but rather a smear campaign against Yang Xin.
On television and in newspapers, there were news reports that were detrimental to Yang Xin. Chu Lan's remarks in the interview were maliciously edited and misinterpreted, completely turning black into white.
"What...what's going on?" Chu Lan pointed at the TV screen, his face ashen.
Jiang Yang remained calm: "As expected. It's just Zhang Yao's counterattack."
Public opinion was immediately in uproar.
Yangxin became the target of public criticism and was labeled a "black-hearted enterprise".
The factory was in a state of panic, and many employees were considering resigning.
"I quit! I'm working here, and all my relatives and friends talk behind my back!" A worker threw his work clothes to the ground.
“I quit too! This lousy place, let whoever wants to stay stay!” another worker chimed in, then turned and left.
Cao Long was sweating profusely and tried to calm everyone down: "Don't panic! This is all fake! Someone is deliberately smearing us! The truth will come out in a while!"
Jiang Yang had communicated with Cao Long beforehand, which is why Cao Long was able to remain so calm.
But the workers didn't buy it.
"The truth will come out? Who knows when that will be? I can't afford to lose face like that!"
"That's right! Unless we get a raise, we're all quitting!" Some workers saw an opportunity and started demanding exorbitant wages.
Cao Long looked at Jiang Yang, somewhat at a loss.
Jiang Yang walked up to the crowd and looked around: "Those who want to resign can leave now. Yang Xin's salary is among the top in the entire capital. If you are still not satisfied, then it can only be said that the temple is too small to support such a great god. This month's salary will be settled as usual. You can go to the finance department to complete the formalities now."
Some hesitated, and the resignation letters that were originally held high were slowly lowered.
……
Jiang Yang knew that some of these people genuinely wanted to leave, while others wanted to take advantage of the situation.
He then quickly changed the subject: "Of course, if you trust me, wait a while, and the wind will change. Then, you won't need to feel ashamed in front of your relatives and friends!"
Some of the workers who were initially hesitant completely gave up the idea of resigning after hearing Jiang Yang's words and silently returned to their workstations.
The factory fell silent, with only a few workers remaining standing in place, looking determined not to give up.
"We quit! We're leaving now!" one of the workers shouted.
Jiang Yang nodded, showing no intention of trying to persuade them to stay: "Okay. Cao Long, record these people's information. Yang Xin will not hire them again in the future."
Cao Long quickly took out his notebook and wrote down the names and employee numbers of these people one by one.
The workers felt a little uneasy, but considering Yang Xin's current situation, they gritted their teeth and felt that their choice was right.
They took their wages and left the factory with their heads held high.
These people were secretly delighted, feeling they had gotten a great deal.
Liu Ming walked out of the finance office, holding a thick wad of cash, and handed it to Jiang Yang.
He said worriedly, "Jiang Yang, is this really okay? So many people are resigning..."
Jiang Yang took the money, patted Liu Ming on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, this little storm won't bring Yang Xin down. Instead of worrying about this, you should pay more attention to how your mother's surgery is going."
Liu Ming was taken aback, then smiled gratefully: "Thank you, Jiang Yang. The surgery was a success. My parents will be able to come back after a period of rest."
Jiang Yang nodded.
At this moment on the other side
"It's done! It's done! This kid's finished!"
Zhang Yao slammed his hand on the table, his fat face beaming with ecstatic joy.
He grabbed the phone and dialed his secretary's number: "Xiao Liu, how's Yang Xin doing? Any further news?"
"Mr. Zhang, some employees at Yang Xin's company have already started resigning, and the number is still increasing." The secretary's voice was equally excited.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yao was overjoyed: "Great! Excellent! This is truly a godsend! Immediately contact those resigned employees and poach them all! As for the compensation, it should be based on Yang Xin's standards, no, even higher! I want everyone to know that only by following me, Zhang Yao, can you truly prosper!"
Zhang Yao paced back and forth in his office excitedly.
He felt that his move was brilliant, as it both dealt a blow to Jiang Yang and strengthened his own team, achieving two goals at once!
“Mr. Zhang, but Yang Xin’s salary is already quite high. If we raise it further, the cost will increase…” The secretary hesitated.
"Cost? What's cost! As long as we can bring down Jiang Yang, what's a little money!" Zhang Yao waved his hand impatiently. "Once Jiang Yang falls, these people will be at my mercy! When that happens, any extra money we give them will be considered charity!"
Zhang Yao smiled sinisterly, and the secretary quickly replied, "Understood, I'll take care of it right away."
Zhang Yao hung up the phone, leaned back smugly in his chair, lit a cigar, and began to puff out smoke.
At this moment, the workers who had just resigned from Yangxin were standing blankly on the street, holding their settled wages, not knowing where to go or what to do.
