Too Bad I Take Things Seriously

Chapter 807: Chapter 286: Why Can’t We Reach People Abroad?

"Cough, cough, no need to pour tea."

Qin Mu looked at Wan Zhongyuan’s "enthusiastic" manner and coughed lightly a few times.

Feeling rather embarrassed.

This level of enthusiasm was really hard for him to handle.

He’s just a small-time worker.

If you didn’t know...

You’d think he was the secret love child of that rarely-seen director.

To be honest.

He’d been working at this elderly care facility for years and hadn’t seen the director much.

The director is quite mysterious.

All this time.

The affairs within the facility have been managed and arranged by Wan Zhongyuan.

"Actually, I called you here... to offer you the position of head of our facility’s public relations department, as a kind of side role."

Wan Zhongyuan also sat down and spoke very seriously.

This idea...

Had formed when they filed a lawsuit against fifteen thousand people.

He even dismissed the former head of the PR department for this purpose.

Unfortunately, Qin Mu later took half a month’s leave to help Zhang Qingyuan with a lawsuit.

So it was shelved for a while.

"Public relations?"

Qin Mu was somewhat surprised after hearing this.

Wan Zhongyuan nodded and added, "The role isn’t busy, it’s mainly about resolving issues and maintaining the facility’s good image."

"Some minor issues, you won’t even need to handle personally; let the people below take care of them."

To ensure Qin Mu would take this position...

He directly promised privileges.

Qin Mu only needed to handle matters that could significantly affect the facility’s reputation when necessary.

Otherwise...

Just do what he usually does.

As for salary, he could get an additional payment.

Although, considering Qin Mu’s assets, he might not care much for this extra money.

"Sure, no problem."

After contemplating for a while, Qin Mu nodded in agreement.

Currently.

He wasn’t planning to leave the facility; acting as legal advisor was already an additional role, and being head of PR would be too.

Besides, it wouldn’t add much work.

And then.

After discussing the main business, Wan Zhongyuan suddenly asked, "Xiao Qin, this case overseas... what’s the result in the end? You should’ve won, right?"

His face also showed great curiosity.

Not much less than the elderly residents in the facility.

This case wasn’t closely related to the facility, so no one reported to him.

Helplessly.

He could only find Qin Mu to ask about the case personally.

Upon hearing this, Qin Mu nodded: "Won."

Then.

He explained the verdict.

All of the opponent’s claims were dismissed, and an investigation into their company had been initiated.

"Poor business reputation could potentially lead to scrutiny?"

Wan Zhongyuan was even more surprised upon hearing this.

Aside from being surprised by Qin Mu’s legal strategy, he was more concerned about this provision in the "Company Law."

Overseas.

Too many poor reviews or negative publicity, can actually trigger scrutiny!

With the amount of online public opinion about their facility, wouldn’t it get investigated abroad in no time?

"The opponent is mainly suspected of illegal operations, and the scrutiny is focused on that, not that all negative news will lead to business scrutiny."

Qin Mu chuckled and explained.

This point can easily lead to misunderstanding.

The negative publicity about the Red Sunset Travel Group involves illegal operations, leveraging schemes to deceive tourists, for example.

This already touches on issues of illegal company operations.

While negative comments on the personal behavior of the elderly in the facility or a company’s CEO cheating, for instance, wouldn’t trigger business scrutiny.

"I see."

Wan Zhongyuan suddenly understood and nodded.

Then.

He looked at Qin Mu with a complex expression.

Half a month ago.

Qin Mu seemed completely ignorant of foreign law, but now he had such deep understanding.

Luckily his attitude was correct...

It really isn’t worth offending such a well-versed lawyer.

Finally.

After briefly chatting, Qin Mu initiated ending the conversation.

And left the office.

...

At the same time.

Liang City.

In an office building.

"Beep beep beep—"

Xu Jiaojiao’s face was grim as she constantly dialed her phone.

But the call...

Just wouldn’t go through.

All she heard. freewebnovel.cσ๓

Was the busy tone.

She called Xu Liming, Zhao Wan, Zhou Guo, Lin Lan, and others abroad, but none of them answered.

"What’s the... what on earth is going on?"

She bit her lips, her mood growing more uneasy.

These people like Xu Liming...

Were all their travel company’s staff abroad.

Xu Liming was even her brother, responsible over there.

Logically speaking.

It’s normal for one person’s call not to get through, but not being able to reach everyone wasn’t right.

"Could it be related to that case with Zhang Qingyuan?"

She frowned, unable to stop herself from speculating.

Before this.

Xu Liming had mentioned to her that a rather important lawsuit was being fought there.

However...

Her brother told her that they had a great chance of winning the lawsuit.

It was hardly possible for it to be lost.

Besides.

Losing wouldn’t mean everyone couldn’t be contacted, right?

This was no thrilling or dangerous lawsuit, just a plain civil dispute.

"Right, George!"

Thinking of this.

She suddenly realized, picked up her phone, and dialed a certain law firm’s number.

"Beep beep beep—"

After several busy tones.

The call finally connected, and a foreign voice came out.

"Hello? I’m looking for George. Is Lawyer George there?"

Xu Jiaojiao took a deep breath and quickly asked over the phone.
