President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free

Chapter 262: They Would Not the Comments which Were Too Exaggerated

Joseph’s questioning voice drummed against her eardrums. Hayden clenched her fingers tight and her nails pinched into her flesh hard to calm herself down, but she knew that as soon as she said something, he would suspect her more listening to her trembling voice.

“I’m much more relieved.”

Joseph suddenly let out a laugh.

“So it seems like you’ve always been quite wary of outsiders.”

Hayden was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Joseph. Seeing an obvious derisive smile on his face, and only then did she slowly let out a sigh of relief.

“Yes.” She averted her eyes from him as she whispered, “I didn’t know you well at that time either, so I couldn’t tell you everything also.”

“It may rain today. Remember to bring an umbrella when you go out.”

Joseph drew an umbrella from the umbrella stand in the entrance hall and handed it to her.

“Thanks.”

Hayden pursed her lips as she bowed her head. She was still nervous.

After she came out of the house, her heart was still pounding fast. She had a feeling that if she didn’t confess the truth to Joseph, Joseph who was so intelligent would soon know the truth also. She couldn’t predict what would happen at that time.

…

The reason that Dante called Hayden suddenly was to discuss the tender of Joann Group.

There were a lot of rumors on the Internet suddenly in the past two days, saying that Hayden was the only legal heir of ST Group and she had received a large sum of fortune left by Brook, and a large part of the fortune was from the financial loopholes of ST Group. Therefore, it was considered as Brook using his power to seek personal gain. It was a legal but unreasonable way to transfer his fortune to Hayden at that time.

ST Group was a large enterprise with few thousand employees, and the sudden closure of the company had led to a large number of people being out of work. The entire company had not been paying the salaries to the employees for two months due to financial liquidation.

Not only the farmworkers who were causing trouble at the construction site, but also the white-collar workers in the office could not stand still. When the rumors came out, all of them followed the trend of deprecating Hayden and they not yet started to deprecate Green Lemon Clothing Co., Ltd.

In the conference room on the first floor of Green Lemon Clothing, Hayden was looking out of the window at the paulownia trees, listening to Benson Jackson’s voice.

“In response to the recent rumors on the Internet, we need to greet the users in the social platforms. We need to block the contents which deprecate our company, otherwise, at such critical times, it may be easy to affect Joann Group’s votes for our company. We need to do some measures as soon as possible at this time.”

The company had just been established recently. The PR manager, Benson Jackson was a youngster who seemed to have waited for a long time before he had such an opportunity to show his talent. He looked very enthusiastic and he was the first one who found out that Hayden being deprecated on the Internet.

“Ms. Downey, what do you think?”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Christ Clark’s voice rang out in the conference room. Hayden was stunned for a moment before regaining her consciousness. She displayed a puzzled expression, “Huh?”

She had just been thinking about what had happened before she left the house and had not been listening to the meeting carefully.

Dante who was beside her noticed it and reminded her that, “What Mr. Jackson meant was to stop the rumors before the netizens found that you are related to Green Lemon Clothing so that the tender of Joann Group would not be affected. However, I think if we just block the comments by communicating with the social media platform, I’m afraid it will provoke a backlash and make us look like we have a guilty conscience.”

His words were so crucial and it seemed like he was not trying to remind Hayden, rather it was like Dante’s adding his opinion.

Hayden also understood his words and she settled down.

“That’s what she meant. It’s not feasible if we just let the social platforms deal with the problem. We need to set our PR plan. The problem had already occurred and we must find a deterrent way to solve it.”

After brainstorming for five minutes, Christ who was still young said something, “Ms. Downey, how about we do this? We can ask the social media platform to block a portion of the specious deprecating comments, leaving the most exaggerated and untrue cursing comments.”

Hearing his words, the crowd was puzzled at first, but soon they all understood.

He was trying to do something opposite, as the users would not believe the deprecating comments when the comments were too exaggerated.

Most of the netizens believed the specious comments. It was ridiculous when the company tried to explain and it might not have much effect. Therefore, it was better to simply leave the most exaggerated comments for them to discuss as people in their right minds would not believe such comments.

His proposal was unanimously approved in the meeting.

After the meeting, Hayden went back to her office. Her newly recruited assistant, Anna followed her to deliver the documents that needed Hayden’s signature to her office. Then, she put an invitation card on Hayden’s desk.

“Ms. Downey, this is the invitation card received this morning for the wine tasting party organized by AW Group at the end of the month.”

There were two fancy letters “AW” printed in white on the light blue invitation card. If she didn’t tell her that it was an invitation to a wine tasting party, Hayden would even believe it if she said it was an invitation to a wedding.

“Who sent this card here?”

“Mr. Sanchez’s assistant.”

Hearing her words, Hayden froze for a moment. She thought that Cleveland was quite free. He even asked his assistant to come over to send her the invitation card. His life seemed to be going very well recently.

Hayden opened the invitation card and read the brief and concise words written with a pen.

“The more Freddie asks for you to come, the less I want you to come, from Cleveland.”

Hayden let out a laugh.

“Ms. Downey,” Her assistant was a little baffled and puzzled, “Are you going?”

“Yes, of course I’m going.” Hayden closed the invitation card and put it aside. She raised her eyebrows, “He is inviting me with such sincerity. I must go.”

She could go there to meet some of the elites in the industry as well as making Cleveland in trouble. It would still be quite interesting.”

As Green Lemon Clothing had just been established, all the orders for the cooperation with other companies had to be run one by one. Apart from the orders from Joann Group, Hayden also planned to talk to Cleveland. After all, he had a lot of resources in this business industry.

After the assistant had just left, Dante knocked on the door and came in.

“Is there anything wrong?”

“Don’t you think this incident in which rumors are spreading on the Internet is happening too coincidentally?”

Dante directly placed a pile of freshly printed-out designs on Hayden’s desk, “Take a look at this. Benjamin just sent it to my email.”

“Isn’t this the design… No.” Hayden immediately frowned when she looked at a few of the designs, “Isn’t this…”

“These designs are more than seventy percent similar to the designs we sent to Joann Group. If their sample clothes are also made according to this design, then there will be little difference between the sample clothes they sent there and the ones we sent there.”

“These designs are from which company?” Hayden took a deep breath and looked very serious, “It’s plagiarism.”

“We have no proof. They seem to have sent it to Joann Group earlier than we did.”

Dante’s face was gloomy, “It’s Yi-Pai Clothing.”

Yi-Pai Clothing was one of the top three clothing companies in Nanking. The company knew how to do online marketing very well and it also participated in the tender of Joann Group. The company often poached the talented workers of small companies and copied their ideas as their strategies to compete with others. The small companies just couldn’t afford to mess with them so they normally didn’t do anything also.

“Did we become the company’s target?” Hayden wrinkled her eyebrows.

“Joann Group was introduced to you by the chief editor of Vivi Magazine. I think Yi-Pai Clothing is jealous of our company as Green Lemon Clothing is considered a small and unpopular company and can only be considered as a studio now, but yet our company is capable to participate in this tender.”
