Chapter 259 Public Opinion Reversal
Wang Yang helped Scott up, and the two limped out of the dark cell.
Outside, the first light of dawn appeared. They couldn't help but squint their eyes and breathe in the fresh air that they hadn't seen for a long time.
"Boss, what should we do next?" Scott asked, "Although that damn consortium has been defeated, their influence in the business and political circles is deeply rooted, and they may come back again."
Wang Yang looked forward, with a firm smile on his lips: "Don't worry, we are here. I don't plan to let them resurrect this time."
"First of all, we must resume production as soon as possible and regain our strength. Although the space elevator has suffered some impacts, its foundation has not been shaken. As long as we are united, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."
"Secondly, we must Continue to increase investment in scientific research and introduce talents. The potential of the space elevator is far from being fully utilized. We must always maintain the momentum of innovation and progress to make it a benefit for all mankind.”
“Third, we must actively strive for it. Support from all walks of life. Through this incident, all walks of life have paid unprecedented attention to the space elevator. We must seize this opportunity to make friends and build consensus to truly push the cause to new heights."
" As for those with evil intentions, we must continue to severely punish them through legal means and completely cut off their escape routes. At the same time, we must be more vigilant to prevent similar crises from happening again."
"Boss. , you are so right!" Scott clenched his fists, "With a leader like you, what do we have to fear? No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, brothers will never look back and follow them to the death!"
Wang Yang emotionally patted Scott on the shoulder: "My brother, we still have a long way to go. Don't worry, no matter what, I, Wang Yang, will never let you suffer the slightest injustice again!"
“Boss, I will always believe in you!”
The two exchanged a firm look, took steps towards the rising sun.
Everyone in the company was in full swing.
The whistle of resumption of work resounded through the sky, and the machines roared as before. Everyone's face was filled with joy and fighting spirit to regroup.
"Mr. Wang, this is the latest sales report. With our joint efforts, the company's turnover has returned to the level before the consortium incident." Jiang Liangliang presented a stack of materials, beaming with joy.
"Of course. We are not vegetarians. It's just a consortium that wants to steal things from us. Dream on!" Wang Yang said confidently.
Liang Yuzhu also came over and took Wang Yang's arm: "Husband, there is also good news from the board of directors. They greatly appreciated your performance in turning the tide, and decided to invest more and continue to support our space industry. Elevator plan. "
"It's great! With the financial guarantee, our business will make further progress!" Wang Yang said excitedly.
Tieshan knocked on the door and came in with a solemn expression: "Boss, there is news from the police. That bastard named Scott has been arrested in accordance with the law and is now under investigation. I believe it won't be long before their gang They will all be caught in one fell swoop!”
"Very good." Wang Yang nodded, "But we can't take it lightly. Although Scott has been arrested, the mastermind behind the scenes may not stop there. We must always remain vigilant and guard against death to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of it." < br>
"Don't worry, boss, I have experience in the escape of golden cicadas. If I hadn't been attacked by an insider last time, it wouldn't have happened." At this point, Tieshan lowered his head in regret.
“Don’t blame yourself, everyone is responsible for this matter.” Wang Yang comforted, “Every time you learn a lesson, you will gain wisdom. From now on, we must unite from top to bottom and share the same hatred and enemy!”
< br>Everyone nodded together.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside.
"No! Something happened!"
Wang Yang frowned, stood up and walked out.
I saw several police cars parked outside the company gate, sirens blaring loudly. A group of heavily armed special police officers filed out and rushed into the company lobby with lightning speed!
"Police! Don't move!"
The leader was a powerful middle-aged police officer. With a wave of his hand, his special police officers immediately surrounded Wang Yang and pointed their guns at them.
"What's going on?!" Wang Yang was furious, "What do you want to do when you break into a house without permission?!"
"Wang Yang, right?" The middle-aged police officer raised his chin coldly, "Let's take it I have reported that you are taking advantage of your position to engage in illegal activities within the company. Please come with us today to investigate."
"This is ridiculous! What did I do that was illegal? "
"Let's talk about it when we get to the police station." The police officer snorted, "Stop pretending. Everything you do is well documented. Come with us and avoid getting into trouble!"
"You" Wang Yang was trembling with anger and wanted to rush up to argue with him. But reason told him that at this juncture, rashly resisting public power would undoubtedly be courting death.
"Okay, I'll just go with you." Wang Yang said through gritted teeth, "But you'd better understand that I am innocent. If you dare to frame me, I will never end it with you!"
" Huh, let's see!" The police officer waved, and two special police officers came up and put handcuffs on Wang Yang without any explanation.
"Brother Yang!"
"Mr. Wang!"
Liang Yuzhu and Jiang Liangliang were so frightened that they turned pale and wanted to rush up to explain, but were beaten by Tieshan. stop.
"Don't act rashly yet." Tieshan said in a deep voice, "Things are not that simple. Since the enemy dares to use such despicable means to frame the boss, they must be well prepared. Rushing forward will only allow them to get what they want."
“But.” The two women still wanted to argue.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Tieshan smiled coldly, "Let's stabilize our position first and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. I will find a way to collect evidence and clear the boss's grievances. You keep an eye on the company. Don't let the enemy take advantage of this."
After saying that, he disappeared into the crowd without anyone noticing.
Wang Yang was "escorted" by several special police officers and got into the police car. Before leaving, he looked back and took a deep look at his company, his eyes as determined as ever.
"Let's wait and see." He swore secretly in his heart, "I, Wang Yang, will take note of this grudge!"
The police car drove away, leaving the place alone in an uproar.
Being taken away by the police at this juncture undoubtedly made Wang Yang worse.
The whole company was in an uproar and people were panicked. Stock prices fell, the media swarmed, and the entire space elevator project was in jeopardy.
At this moment, Wang Yang’s rival consortium jumped out again and took advantage of the situation. They publicized it in major media, saying that Wang Yang was ambitious and used the space elevator to make money. Now that he has finally committed all his crimes and been brought to justice by the police, it is really satisfying.
For a time, reporters were crowded in front of the company, on three floors inside and three outside, trying to dig out more inside stories.
Faced with the stormy pressure of public opinion, Liang Yuzhu and Jiang Liangliang were somewhat unable to withstand it. Seeing that their husband and Wang Yang's hard work was about to be ruined, they were anxious and angry, but they were helpless.
"Liangliang, what do you think we should do? Did the enemy's conspiracy succeed just like this?" Liang Yuzhu asked with red eyes.
Jiang Liangliang gritted his teeth: "Don't panic, Yu Zhu. The more the enemy is so complacent, it means they are impatient. What we have to do now is to quickly organize our forces and launch a comprehensive counterattack on all fronts. !”
“That’s right!” Scott also took a step forward, “Everyone of us is responsible for the boss’s situation today. How can we do this for the sake of our brothers? Did he stand by and do nothing when he was in the most critical situation? "But, Brother Yang was taken away by the police, and there was nothing we could do." Liang Yuzhu said worriedly.
“Believe in the boss, but also believe in ourselves.” Jiang Liangliang said firmly, “As long as we work together, there will be no obstacle that we cannot overcome. Scott, please contact our legal team immediately and find a way to help the boss. Hire the best lawyer. I will contact the public relations company and calm down the media turmoil as soon as possible. "Yuzhu, you go and stabilize the morale of the company. You must let everyone know that the boss is innocent and the company is not guilty." It will go bankrupt, and the space elevator will definitely continue to work!”
“Understood!” Liang Yuzhu gritted his teeth, “I’m going to go!”
Everyone took action separately, vowing to fish Wang Yang out! Quagmire, turn the tide.
At the same time, Wang Yang was taken to the police station for interrogation.
Sitting on the cold iron chair, facing the police officer’s aggressive gaze, Wang Yang broke into a cold sweat. But he quickly calmed down, his eyes were magnanimous, and he was confident.
"Wang Yang, let me ask you again." The middle-aged police officer asked sternly, "Did you take advantage of your position to make a lot of money on the space elevator project, and also colluded with others to maliciously embezzle the company's assets? Tell the truth! "
"I have already said that I am innocent." Wang Yang was neither humble nor arrogant. "All this is just someone trying to frame me. I established the company and built the space elevator just to make some contribution to society. . Every payment is made in a clear and honest manner. Is there anything illegal at all?"
"Haha, you are quite tough." The police officer sneered, "What are you going to do? Explain this?”
As he spoke, he threw over a stack of photos. What I saw above was a scene of Wang Yang shaking hands with several shareholders and changing glasses.
“What does this mean?” Wang Yang was stunned.
“Eating and drinking with shareholders, isn’t that enough?” The police officer stared at him, “As far as we know, these shareholders are all your cronies. On weekdays, you collude together, cooperate inside and outside, and embezzle the company’s interests. These photos are irrefutable proof!”
Wang Yang couldn’t help clenching his fists. So it turns out that the enemy actually used such despicable means to frame himself!
"I do have a good relationship with them. This is also the need for the company's development." Wang Yang suppressed his anger and analyzed calmly, "But making friends and having a meal, is this called a crime? You are just making something out of nothing. Nonsense! ”
"Still quibbling! What about this?"
The police officer threw out another stack of documents and said conclusively: "This is a case of someone's report. It is said that you embezzled public funds, kept a mistress outside, and was slutty all day long. . Take a look for yourself, it’s clearly written in black and white!”
Wang Yang was so angry that he almost wanted to rush forward and fight him. But he knew that the other party just wanted to anger him and expose his flaws.
Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down.
"I don't trust those who employ me, and I don't trust those who suspect me. I have always been clear about all the financial expenses of the company." Wang Yang said calmly, "These are all slanders. Don't even think of using such despicable means." Come and frame me!”
"Really? Well, let's wait and see." The police officer said bitterly, "I hope you can still be as confident as you are now!"
After that, he left without looking back. Wang Yang was left alone, contemplating solemnly in the interrogation room.
It is getting dark outside. Through the bulletproof glass, you can see the wolf-like figures of reporters downstairs in the police station. They were all holding long guns and short cannons, chattering impatiently.
Wang Yang smiled bitterly. What a turn of events. Once upon a time, I was also the object of pursuit by these people, and I wished I could praise him to the sky. But now, they were like flies, swarming him at the slightest smell of blood, eager to eat him alive.
"This is the human heart." Wang Yang murmured to himself, "When you are so successful, everyone flatters you. But once you lose power, they want to step on you."
Suddenly he thought of George. That honest and upright big man never bothered to engage in intrigues and only knew that brothers were at each other's throats. If he knew better, he would definitely feel unfair to himself.
"George, I can never repay what I owe you" Wang Yang burst into tears.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door.
"Let go! You can't do this! I want to see your leader, right away!"
A loud voice came, which sounded extremely familiar.
"I'm sorry, sir. We are handling a case and you are not allowed to enter at will."
The policeman's voice was a little awkward.
"I don't care what your case is! I am Wang Yang's lawyer. You are illegally detaining him. I demand his immediate release!"
Wang Yang was agitated. It's Iron Mountain! He heard it, yes, it was Tieshan!
With a bang, the people in the interrogation room were kicked away. Then a burly figure strode in.
"Boss! Are you okay?" Tieshan looked anxious and hugged Wang Yang.
"Tieshan, why are you here?" Wang Yang was surprised and happy.
"What else can I do? When I learn that you have been arrested, I can't wait to fly over right away!" Tieshan said, glancing outside gloomily, "How dare these grandsons be so bold! I We're not done with them!"
"Don't be impulsive." Wang Yang patted him on the shoulder, "You have to use your brains to deal with them."
Tieshan disagreed. This brain is suitable for thinking about how to beat people.”
Wang Yang laughed out loud: "You're here right now. With my brothers here, what else do I have to be afraid of? But can you do it alone? This is a lawsuit-ridden thing."
"Don't worry, I'm still here We have hired a team of lawyers. I will ensure that you win the case and clear your grievances!" Tieshan was full of confidence.
"That's good." Wang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome the difficulties and severely injure the enemy!"
The two held hands tightly, His eyes were as determined as ever.
The following days can be described as full of tribulations and undercurrents.
The consortium and the police continued to create public opinion and smear Wang Yang. Tieshan led the team of lawyers to run around, vowing to wash away the grievances.
On Wang Yang's side, he was dealing with the police, tit for tat. He is calm, rational, answers all questions, and breaks down the unfounded charges one by one.
Gradually, as the evidence was submitted one by one, the truth came out, and Wang Yang's innocence was revealed.
It turns out that all this is a conspiracy by the director of the consortium! They first planted spies, created conflicts and disintegrated the company. They also used the police to trap Wang Yang and force him to submit. The purpose is nothing more than to annex the company and monopolize the interests of the space elevator.
Public opinion has taken a 180-degree turn. Those who once added insult to injury have now become Wang Yang's supporters. They marveled at Wang Yang's perseverance and courage, and lamented his valuable qualities in adhering to his ideals.
