Chapter 830: Landmark Victory
This announcement can be described as truly well-crafted.
It is handled by the company’s upper management, with no presence of any ’temporary workers.’ Coupled with the prior report recommending that all employees take a month of paid leave, it stabilized the workforce’s confidence! Instead of inciting panic among employees, it actually instilled a sense of belonging to the company.
There are even many people wanting to join such a company because of the great benefits! The boss is great!
The month of paid leave brings many unseen but enormous advantages!
It’s unclear who started it, but someone in the comments on this announcement shared their education and work experience and expressed their willingness to join Qiansimei, even if starting as an office worker!
This comment went viral, and netizens followed suit, attaching their resumes, showcasing their diverse and exceptional talents.
Lin Tian, Bai Shishi, and others were left feeling both amused and exasperated after they saw it.
What the heck is all this?
Previously, some people were saying they wanted to smash Qiansimei’s headquarters, and now they all want to be a part of it.
This is probably the liveliest and funniest self-recommendation in history, right?
Jiang Huaisi also found it speechless; it was supposed to be such a serious accountability announcement! How did it turn into a job recruitment post?
However, amidst the harmonious comments, there are still a few discordant ones.
How do you explain your Qiansimei’s poor attitude towards those families? How can a company like that have any employee cohesion?
There are quite a few skeptical comments like this, and it’s unclear whether they are from internet trolls or genuinely concerned individuals.
Soon, Qiansimei released the third quick announcement.
This time it’s not an announcement but a video and a statement.
"For the employees injured in this explosion incident, our company expresses the most sincere apologies and remorse! We are willing to take responsibility and provide additional compensation. Furthermore, we promise: Hereon, children of all victims can join our company without interviews, and their salary and bonuses will be 20% more. But please, no moral blackmail!"
Beneath these words is an eighteen-minute video.
Many people clicked on the video and watched it from beginning to end.
Netizens saw the sadness on the faces of those families and their anger towards Qiansimei.
They also saw the insatiability of human desires.
"You are so rich, isn’t it natural to offer more compensation?"
Such cutting words. This is what so-called moral blackmail looks like?
However, Lin Tian’s following words really gave those advocating moral blackmail a hard slap, bringing great satisfaction to many.
There is no fault on Qiansimei’s part in terms of compensation. They have done extraordinarily well, offering extra compensation aside from the usual and even additional benefits. Someone might consider it just throwing money around.
Indeed, it is throwing money around. But they did it beautifully, did it with dignity, and did it in a way that warms people’s hearts!
The families weren’t at fault either; it’s normal to vent anger when their loved ones are harmed. Human insatiability is also a common trait.
Only now does everyone realize that Qiansimei was just misunderstood. Their attitude towards employees is visible to all.
So, the comments below are applications again...
But not everyone is rational; beneath the comments are already keyboard warriors.
There are those cursing the families and others attacking Qiansimei. But these keyboard warriors also received the same ’feedback.’
Jiang Huaisi sat in front of the computer with a cup of coffee, watching those comments that were hard not to laugh at or cry over. She laughed, "Things have pretty much settled here; you should have weathered this crisis, as long as the relevant departments don’t find anything, you’re in the clear."
Whether due to happiness or some other reason, Bai Shishi’s face with a bit of baby fat looked slightly flushed.
What a relief! It’s incredibly satisfying!
During the day, there were countless curses, defamations, and doubts.
By nightfall, it turned into various praises. What’s even more precious is they gained countless people’s hearts! And recognition!
This turnaround battle, aside from hiring a PR queen, didn’t rely on any connections and didn’t involve much hassle.
Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan both marveled at how miraculous this all was; even now, they still couldn’t quite wrap their heads around it.
This public relations battle was a resounding success! No matter which angle you look from, it was incredibly successful.
Afterward, some people even termed this PR battle as a benchmark success case!
"We really have to thank you this time, indeed living up to the title of PR queen, all problems were solved so effortlessly," Bai Shishi said.
Mei Ruyan also smiled kindly, "It’s not easy for Lin Tian, this unreliable guy, to find a reliable one."
Lin Tian rolled his eyes as he sat beside them. What kind of talk is that?
Jiang Huaisi laughed, "Actually, this battle was fought effortlessly because you were willing to cooperate. You even publicly disclosed secret formulas and spared no expense, keeping the promise of a month of paid leave, which not all companies would do."
"Alright, alright, don’t just give us the credit. What should be yours is yours." Bai Shishi laughed, "Previously, we were anxious to solve the issue and forgot to discuss the PR fees. What are your charging standards?"
"Haha, this time it was agreed that I’d help Lin Tian as a favor, discussing fees now wouldn’t seem right. Besides, I actually made quite a profit this time," Jiang Huaisi replied.
"Made a profit? What did you earn?"
Jiang Huaisi laughed, "Two hours ago, your Qiansimei stock was performing poorly. So, I bought ten million worth, it should have appreciated quite a bit by now, right?"
Bai Shishi’s mouth twitched slightly, then broke into an involuntary laugh, "You... really have an economic mind, you certainly will earn quite a bit."
Jiang Huaisi unreservedly took pride, "I think so too."
Bai Shishi said, "The stock purchase is your personal investment, nothing to do with me. Helping Lin Tian is a favor between you two, but not expressing anything would be too ungrateful on my part, right?"
"Is free eating, living, and entertainment at Celestial Dragon Hotel for three months not enough expression?"
Bai Shishi shook her head, "If I say it’s not enough, then it’s not."
Jiang Huaisi found it rather amusing and incredulous. In this day and age, is there still someone stuffing money into one’s pocket?
"Alright, alright, talking about money is too vulgar. None of us are short on money; let’s discuss some business instead. You’ve seen my PR capabilities, what do you think? Interested in signing a long-term contract?"
Bai Shishi nodded without hesitation, "Of course, I’m interested."
Receiving the reply, Jiang Huaisi directly made a call, asking her company to send over a contract template, allowing the two bosses to discuss the details.
A public relations company, doesn’t only handle crisis management.
PR stands for public relations. Their daily work, summed up in a sentence, is assisting clients in maintaining their public relations.
