Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

Chapter 1043 Continuing Fermentation



The news of the severed relationship between Mike and Patrick had exploded across all online platforms.

Everyone was buzzing with discussions, trying to figure out what Patrick had done to cause such a result. Nobody understood the reasons behind it.

As a result, wave after wave of curious onlookers emerged.

Among these onlookers were also some malicious news media, only concerned about their own ratings.

They started spreading rumors, even digging up past trivial matters, processing them, and presenting them anew.

Of course, the general public was unaware of the truth behind it all.

To address the misinformation online, Patrick’s PR department held a press conference, where the manager solemnly explained and clarified to all the reporters.

“There are too many unfounded rumors circulating online. Our company needs to continue its normal production and operation, so we don’t have time to entertain these every day.”

“Patrick also needs to focus on the company’s issues every day. I hope all the media outlets can keep their eyes open and not approach things with biased perspectives.”

How could such a level of public relations convince the media?

Furthermore, some people were already stirring up trouble. Immediately, a reporter from the Urban Daily raised his microphone.

“We want to know if the news of the severed relationship between Mike and Patrick is true or false. Please give us a direct response to our question.”

“After all, everything began from here. If this question doesn’t have an answer, discussing the truth or falsehood of subsequent events is pointless.”

The manager frowned upon hearing this, as it was like hitting the nail on the head.

If traced back to its ultimate source, what the reporter said was correct. But it was also because the news was true.

Therefore, he had no way to answer, especially considering that it involved other issues. He felt that answering would inevitably lead to a string of additional problems coming to light, causing even more trouble for Patrick. The PR manager steeled himself and addressed the media below.

“Whether this matter is true or false, it has no relation to Patrick’s company or the media. It is a personal matter for Patrick.”

The PR manager looked at a few other media personnel, those he had already bribed, but unfortunately, they all kept their heads down.

They were shocked by the way the PR manager was responding to the questions, feeling that this person was simply unfit for the current position.

In fact, they hadn’t even told the PR manager one thing: some of the information had been leaked from Patrick’s company internally, and they had received some benefits from the media as well.

“So, you’re saying that this matter is indeed true, but it doesn’t require the attention of the media, is that what you mean?”

“Or are you saying that this is a rumor? If it is indeed a rumor, then it’s even more necessary for the media to step forward and clarify the matter on your behalf.”

A reporter from the Entertainment Times stood up and voiced this matter, causing all the reporters to nod in agreement.

They all wanted to know whether this matter was true or false, and their questions were indeed targeted.

“I’m sorry, but I have no comment. Well, the time is up now. We have other things to attend to, so you may all leave!”

“If there are any other developments, we will convene the next press conference in a timely manner. This time, it was just a temporary communication and contact,” the PR manager said.

The PR manager truly had nothing more to say. No matter whether he answered yes or no, he would still be trapped in a pit.

So he decided to flee, leaving the reporters with even more hope. After returning, these reporters processed and embellished all the information before posting it on their respective websites.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Even though the hired internet trolls were continuously maintaining comments and doing their job, it was ultimately futile. The number of spectators far outnumbered the trolls. Despite spending money to delete some of the reports, it was only a drop in the bucket.

On the contrary, these websites and other media outlets took advantage of the situation and presented conditions that the PR manager couldn’t handle. He had no choice but to report everything to Patrick.

Jane heard about the situation and went straight to Patrick.

“Let me handle this matter. There are issues within the company’s PR department and some other departments. I’ve already heard some rumors.”

Patrick knew that someone must be scheming behind the scenes for this matter to escalate to such a degree. If it were solely about this incident, it wouldn’t have fermented to such an extent.

However, he wasn’t skilled in handling such matters, and the numerous details within the company overwhelmed him. He couldn’t even handle them, let alone deal with the media-related issues. He had to rely on his PR department.

But he didn’t expect the PR department to be so useless. As he pondered over these thoughts, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

“The company has decayed in recent times. With such a large problem and internal operations in disarray, it’s truly distressing.”

“I want to handle these issues, but I don’t have the time, and the matter with Mike hasn’t been resolved yet!”

Upon hearing these words, Jane knew she had to do something. It wouldn’t work if Patrick bore the brunt of everything. She immediately made her stance clear.

She planned to assign the employees from her own company’s previous department to handle the entire situation.

She also intended to investigate and cleanse the existing employees of Patrick’s company.

If any internal employees were found to be at fault, appropriate actions would be taken accordingly. Those who needed to be removed would be removed without hesitation.

For those who only had misguided thoughts but didn’t have significant issues in other aspects, they would receive education.

Furthermore, the company’s core cultural values needed to be reestablished.

To run a successful company, it wasn’t just about paying employees’ salaries. It was equally important to cultivate a positive atmosphere. Previously, the company had done well in fostering such an atmosphere among its employees.

However, everything changed since Harrison took over. In a short period, the company became chaotic and disordered.

Even if they wanted to change now, it would require immense courage.

Thus, it was time for Patrick to make a decision. Jane laid out all these matters, waiting to see how Patrick would choose.
