Chapter 94 - Receiving a Lawyer's Letter

Fang Yuanshan nodded and then shook his head.

"But the problem is the timing of our release of the evidence. If we release it now, some people will say we're rushing things. If we release it later, public opinion will have already been set."

Wang Guanxi looked at Fang Yuanshan and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Yuanshan, you've hit the nail on the head."

He walked back to his seat, sat down, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.

The tea had gone cold, but he didn't care.

"Releasing evidence now is a defensive move."

"What I need is not defense, but counter-attack."

Lu Mingyuan and Fang Yuanshan exchanged a glance.

Cecilia Cheung stood to the side, holding a tablet in her hand, her eyes fixed on Edison Wang.

"Mr. Wang, what do you mean?"

Wang Guanxi put down his teacup and said, word by word.

"Cheng Wanhua is backed by Wen Guoliang. What does Wen Guoliang want? He wants Chongxi's reputation to collapse, he wants our orders to be refunded, and he wants us to be in a panic."

He leaned back in his chair and smiled.

"Then I'll show him whether Chongxi will really collapse."

He turned to look at Cecilia Cheung.

"Cecilia, you have three things to do."

Cecilia Cheung took out her notebook and placed the pen tip on the paper.

"First, gather all the evidence. The transfer agreement, bank transfer records, IOUs, police report from the local station, and my mother's employment contract and social security records. Not a single one can be missing."

"Second, contact a lawyer and send Cheng Wanhua a lawyer's letter. Just to scare him for now; I have other plans for the next step."

"Third," he paused, "contact Hun Sen. Have him negotiate a deal with Cheng Wanhua."

Lu Mingyuan frowned: "President Wang, are you going to compromise with Cheng Wanhua?"

"Compromise?" Wang Guanxi laughed. "It's not compromise. It's making him expose Wen Guoliang himself."

The office was silent for a second.

Fang Yuanshan's eyes lit up.

"Mr. Wang, do you mean—to get Cheng Wanhua to turn against us?"

Wang Guanxi didn't answer, but picked up his teacup and took another sip.

"You don't understand Cheng Wanhua. He's greedy, cowardly, and spineless. Wen Guoliang gave him money to smear me."

Then we'll give him even more money and make him sell Wen Guoliang.

Lu Mingyuan hesitated for a moment: "But he's already lied to you once. What if he takes the money and then denies it?"

Wang Guanxi looked at him with a calm expression.

"So this time, we had Hun Sen talk to him directly, and after the talk, we had him record a video. In the video, he had to make three things clear to him personally."

He held up one finger.

"First, the transfer of Chengda Garment Factory was voluntary on his part; no one forced him."

The second finger.

"Secondly, how much money did Wen Guoliang give him to smear me?"

The third finger.

"Third, he gave a clear account of the time, place, and conversation between himself and Wen Guoliang."

After listening, Lu Mingyuan took a deep breath.

"Once this video is released, Wen Guoliang will be completely at a disadvantage."

"That's right." Wang Guanxi nodded. "Moreover, we didn't force Cheng Wanhua to say it; he said it voluntarily because he had a change of heart."

Fang Yuanshan couldn't help but slap his thigh.

"Mr. Wang, brilliant! This is called using their own methods against them. Wen Guoliang used Cheng Wanhua to smear us, so we'll use Cheng Wanhua to kill him."

Wang Guanxi smiled but didn't say anything.

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the factory buildings outside.

I'm already thinking about the next step.

Cheng Wanhua's defection was just the first step.

Having suffered this loss, Wen Guoliang will certainly not let it go.

But it's okay.

He has plenty of time, plenty of money, and plenty of patience.

"Go ahead and get busy," Wang Guanxi said. "Cecilia, stay behind for a bit."

Lu Mingyuan and Fang Yuanshan stood up and walked out of the office.

The door closed.

Cecilia Cheung stood in front of the desk, looking at Edison Wang.

"Mr. Wang, is there anything else you need?"

Wang Guanxi turned around and looked at her.

Keep an eye on Shen Qingxue's situation.

Cecilia Cheung's expression changed for a moment, but she quickly recovered.

"Okay. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"No need to do anything. Just keep an eye on her recent movements. She probably won't stay with Wen Guoliang for long."

Cecilia Cheung nodded and made a note in her notebook.

She didn't ask why.

She never asks questions she shouldn't ask.

The matter continued to escalate online.

Cheng Wanhua's tearful video was like a depth charge, turning the local Douyin (TikTok) community in Jiangcheng upside down.

The comment section was filled with nothing but insults.

"I knew it! All that talk of a great philanthropist is just a persona!"

"They even steal their stepfather's factory, are they even human?"

"I returned all of Chongxi's clothes. I don't wear things from someone like him."

"With the father himself coming forward to confirm it, how could it be fake?"

But someone else weakly replied below: "Wait, I remember this Cheng Wanhua, didn't he hold up a banner and cause trouble in front of Wang Guanxi's company last time? At that time, he said that Wang Guanxi was not supporting his mother—"

The comment was immediately met with a barrage of criticism.

"Wash your mother's ass!"

"Are you an online troll hired by Edison Wang?"

"They've taken the money, they've taken the money! Don't believe them, everyone!"

The rhythm was set on a high note.

Wen Guoliang sat in his office at the headquarters of Meiwei, scrolling through his phone, a smile never fading from his lips.

Wen Guoliang enjoyed this feeling.

He could almost picture Wang Guanxi looking flustered and overwhelmed.

In his view, Wang Guanxi has no way to escape this time.

Family ties are the strongest yet most fragile moral weapon in this society.

An "unfilial son" who even "bullies" his own stepfather will drown in the spittle of public opinion, no matter how glamorous he is in the business world.

Wen Guoliang put down his teacup, picked up his phone, and sent a message to Cheng Wanhua.

"Boss Cheng, well done. I've already got the video streamed, and it'll break a million views tonight. Just wait and see."

Cheng Wanhua replied instantly: "Thank you, Mr. Wen! It's all thanks to your guidance!"

Wen Guoliang looked at the reply, smiled, and tossed his phone aside.

This dog is actually quite useful.

On the other hand, Cheng Wanhua was also living an incredibly "comfortable" life.

He not only received a 50,000 yuan appearance fee from Wen Guoliang for the video, but also received unprecedented attention online.

He enjoyed this unprecedented sense of "attention," and his phone kept receiving private messages, some supporting his "rights protection" and others scolding him for being disrespectful to his elders.

Of course, many more self-media outlets are looking to dig out more "exposés" from him.

He kept refreshing the comments and likes below the video, and each increase filled his heart, which had been emptied by poverty.

He even started fantasizing about what kind of reluctant expression he should put on when that kid Wang Guanxi couldn't take it anymore and came begging him to delete the videos, so that he could get Chengda Garment Factory back to him.

He and Wen Guoliang, two men with their own ulterior motives, were in different places, but with the same schadenfreude, looking forward to seeing Wang Guanxi's pathetic state.

However, the next day Cheng Wanhua received a lawyer's letter stamped with a red seal.

Cheng Wanhua wasn't highly educated, but he recognized the words "lawyer's letter".

His heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition instantly enveloped him.

He stared wide-eyed and read on, word by word.

The letter was written in a mix of classical and vernacular Chinese, filled with legal terms he had never heard of before, such as "serious infringement of reputation rights," "fabricating facts," "malicious defamation," and "picking quarrels and provoking trouble." Each word felt like a small knife, cutting into his heart.

He did understand the core meaning of the letter.

Mr. Wang Guanxi, the legal representative of Chongxi Group, issued a stern warning to him, stating that the video he released constituted serious defamation, which not only tarnished Wang Guanxi's personal image but also caused incalculable damage to Chongxi's brand reputation.

The letter concluded with three demands in the strongest terms:

1. Immediately remove all related defamatory videos and statements.

Second, publish a public apology video in the same format on the original video publishing platform to clarify the facts and eliminate the negative impact.

Third, we reserve all rights to pursue legal action, including but not limited to filing lawsuits in court to claim compensation for economic and emotional damages.
