Chapter 1490 Bait the Hook

In fact, as the president of Sheng Yun Group, Nie Yunsheng didn't need to go at all, or even pay attention to an invitation from such an ordinary person.

Who do you think you are? You post a Weibo asking the CEO of a group company to meet you, and they're supposed to just drop everything and meet you?

But Nie Yunsheng still decided to go, because he believed this was a good way to further eliminate negative public opinion.

Tolerance is both a posture and a bargaining chip.

This complainant could be considered a Sheng Yun Express customer, after all, the box of apples was delivered using Sheng Yun Express.

Nie Yunsheng's visit to console the deliveryman could demonstrate a caring attitude towards his employees. Coordinating the complainant and the deliveryman could demonstrate a broad-mindedness, creating a harmonious scene where the deliveryman, the company, and the customer were understanding of each other.

This would greatly help to eliminate the current negative public opinion.

When everyone sees that it was just a misunderstanding, and that the complainant was understanding, and the deliveryman wasn't punished, and the two shook hands and made peace, and that the president of Sheng Yun Group personally intervened in this seemingly trivial matter that actually concerns all customers and deliverymen, wouldn't they naturally have a good impression of Sheng Yun Express?

This is much better than continuing to intensify the conflict.

Because continuing to intensify the conflict could backfire, and would be going too far. Taking advantage of the current public opinion advantage and knowing when to stop is the best choice.

Of course, Nie Yunsheng could have sent another senior executive to go in his place.

But he's always been someone who likes to show his face, otherwise he would have sent someone else to console the deliveryman.

Since he was the one who consoled the deliveryman, it was only natural that he should also attend this negotiation.

The vice president nodded: "Okay, President Nie, I'll issue the announcement right away. The time is set for 10:00 AM tomorrow. How many people do you want to accompany you?"

Nie Yunsheng thought for a moment: "Keep it simple, including you, just two more people will be enough. Bringing too many people will give people the impression that we're bullying them with our power. Bringing fewer people will make us seem more approachable."

The vice president nodded again: "Understood."

He was about to leave when Nie Yunsheng stopped him again.

"What happened with the Public Affairs Department today?" Nie Yunsheng asked.

The vice president quickly lowered his head: "It was an accident. A deputy director had some kind of problem in his head. At a critical moment, he insisted on taking leave and even said bad things about you consoling the deliveryman in front of me. We argued, and then he resigned on his own."

Nie Yunsheng nodded: "Well, in the future, discover and deal with this kind of thing early, and don't create such a big negative impact."

"Let this be the last time. Go."

The vice president nodded: "Yes."

Nie Yunsheng certainly didn't care about the specific reasons for this person's resignation, he just felt that the two people arguing loudly in the conference room, making it known to everyone, was very undignified and difficult to deal with, and the impact was not good.

That's why he instructed the vice president to handle this kind of thing discreetly in the future, and get rid of people silently as much as possible, so that other employees don't laugh at them, and more importantly, so that it doesn't affect the work atmosphere.

After arranging these matters, Nie Yunsheng called his driver, ready to go home and rest.

Tomorrow he would meet with this complainant, and they would be understanding of each other.

As long as this public opinion storm subsides, then Sheng Yun Group's moment of crisis will basically be safely passed.

...

...

February 23rd, Saturday.

In Jingzhou, Tenda's special recruitment exam officially began.

Many people had traveled from all over the country to participate in the exam. Although the conditions were limited, and the number of people was much smaller than a regular recruitment exam, the number of applicants still exceeded many people's expectations.

Old Wei, who had just resigned from Sheng Yun Group, and Old Zhou, who couldn't get leave but directly skipped work to participate in the exam, were also among them.

In fact, there were many people in situations like theirs. In many companies, people who met the conditions asked their superiors for leave, only to be met with a meaningful smile.

Then, on the day of the exam, both of them disappeared.

Because by the time they reached the age of 35, many people had risen to middle management and had the power to approve leave, but their worries about a mid-life crisis were also growing stronger.

Getting into Tenda was like overcoming half of the mid-life crisis, so they definitely had to try it no matter what!

But what Old Wei and the others didn't know was that while they were taking the high-speed rail from Modu to Jingzhou, Lu Mingliang, the head of Nifeng Logistics, had also taken the high-speed rail from Jingzhou to Modu.

As for the internet, the heat of the deliveryman kneeling incident hadn't passed yet, and was even continuing to ferment.

Because the person who complained about the delivery guy posted on Weibo inviting the delivery guy and Nie Yunsheng to talk together, and it was a live broadcast!

The key point was that Nie Yunsheng agreed!

Things suddenly became interesting.

It just so happened that today was Saturday, and many people had nothing to do. Even if they knew that this might be a drama of mutual understanding, they still wanted to watch.

Sheng Yun Group was also clearly treating this meeting as a good opportunity to wash away negative public opinion and create a positive image, so they specially contacted several live broadcast platforms and arranged for a live broadcast.

After the live broadcast, they would publish a few news articles in the media, and that would be it.

As for the location of the conversation, it was in a small conference room in a nearby hotel. This way, the scene wouldn't be too big, making it seem like a show, triggering the audience's resentment, and it wouldn't be too casual, giving people an impression of informality.

After all, the two sides still had to talk, not just shake hands and leave, so the microphones, seats, and so on had to be arranged properly.

Nie Yunsheng was quite satisfied with this location and asked about all the details.

Four people from their side would attend, namely Nie Yunsheng, two vice presidents, and the delivery guy, while the complainant said that he would bring one other person.

Nie Yunsheng didn't object to this, after all, four against one would seem a bit oppressive, and wouldn't look good on the surface. Four against two would be relatively better.

At 10:00 AM, Nie Yunsheng arrived at the designated small conference room in the hotel on time.

The venue had already been set up. There was a conference table with four seats on Sheng Yun Group's side and two seats on the other side, and there were microphones on the table. The people from the live broadcast platform had already set up the live broadcast equipment, and the other two people had also arrived.

Nie Yunsheng and the two vice presidents of Sheng Yun Group sat down in their seats. Nie Yunsheng and the delivery guy sat in the two middle seats, with the delivery guy facing the complainant and Nie Yunsheng facing the young man who came with the complainant.

Judging from the looks of it, he might be the complainant's brother or friend?

After the people from the live broadcast platform confirmed that the equipment was working properly, they left, allowing these people to talk as they pleased.

Seeing this scene, Nie Yunsheng was in a great mood.

He seemed to already see the scene of the two sides shaking hands and making peace, with reporters coming over to take pictures.

However, just as he was about to say some polite words, he saw the young man on the other side hand over a business card.

"President Nie, nice to meet you. This is my business card."

Nie Yunsheng couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling a little unhappy.

Why are you giving me a business card?

The protagonists this time are clearly the delivery guy and the complainant, and then Sheng Yun Group. You're just here to watch, don't you think you can take this opportunity to curry favor with me?

But since the business card had already been handed over, Nie Yunsheng couldn't refuse, so he had to reach out and take it.

He was just about to casually put it in his pocket and throw it away later, but when he glanced at the name and position on the business card, Nie Yunsheng suddenly trembled and was completely stunned.

Lu Mingliang, the head of Nifeng Logistics!

Because Nifeng Logistics was far away in Jingzhou and didn't have deep cooperation with Sheng Yun Group, and the heads of various departments of Tenda were actually relatively low-key and didn't show their faces much like President Pei, Nie Yunsheng hadn't met Lu Mingliang and didn't know what he looked like.

Nie Yunsheng's first reaction was confusion and disbelief.

The person the complainant brought was actually the head of Nifeng Logistics? How could that be possible?

Why would this person in charge not be busy with work in Jingzhou, and run all the way to Modu?

But who would be so bored as to play this kind of prank?

This is a live broadcast, and he's impersonating someone in front of everyone. Isn't he afraid of being arrested?

Nie Yunsheng's mind was racing, and he realized that something was wrong.

This meeting was probably arranged by Lu Mingliang of Nifeng Logistics!

No wonder this complainant took the initiative to request a live broadcast.

According to common sense, this complainant had just been the victim of a group of online trolls, and was scolded bloody. A normal person's reaction at this time would be to directly delete the Weibo and pretend to be dead, and quickly avoid the limelight, right?

So there was someone backing him up!

When Nie Yunsheng first heard the news, he was too optimistic and didn't consider this possibility. It wasn't until he arrived at the scene and saw Lu Mingliang that he suddenly realized and understood the key points.

But it was too late to understand now.

Because he was already here, and the live broadcast had already started!

If he left now, then what happened in the live broadcast would be completely out of control.

And it would also leave everyone with a bad impression that "Sheng Yun Group is guilty and dare not confront Nifeng Logistics face to face."

Therefore, Nie Yunsheng could only calm down and continue to sit calmly, watching what the other party wanted to do.

The vice president of Sheng Yun Group who was present didn't know why Nie Yunsheng's face obviously fell after taking the business card, but it was a live broadcast now, and they couldn't just keep it cold, so he quickly said: "Now that everyone is here, let's start talking about business."

"Actually, this matter isn't a big deal. I think the key is that the customer and the deliveryman can understand each other, after all, everyone has a hard time. Although our deliveryman has been a little wronged, but work is inevitable. What's more, both sides actually had impulsive moments, and there are some immature aspects in the system..."

"So, we are very grateful that you can show understanding to the deliveryman..."

He was trying to smooth things over, wanting to facilitate a reconciliation between the two sides as soon as possible, preferably with a handshake and a hug, take a photo, and that would be a perfect ending.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the complainant.

"First, I have emphasized before that my complaint is not against the deliveryman, but against your Sheng Yun Group. You distort the facts, forcibly transfer the conflict between me and Sheng Yun Group into a personal conflict between me and the deliveryman, and maliciously guide public opinion to attack me. I remember all of these things."

"Second, I said I would meet in person and talk to try to solve the problem and eliminate the impact, but I never said that I would admit defeat and give in, let alone endorse your handling!"
