Chapter 375: Follow-up to the Incident (4,000 Words)
After returning from the hospital, Liu Yun squinted and leaned back on the chair in his office, and the scene that happened in the corridor on the 21st floor kept replaying in his mind like a movie.
If it weren't for Yang Zhicheng's push, he would probably have been stabbed head-on by that man's murder weapon, and he would have been seriously injured if he didn't die.
This time, Yang Zhicheng was not lightly injured, but fortunately did not hurt his bones.
Liu Yun vaguely remembered that the moment the medical staff drew the knife, blood was splattered everywhere, and his heart-wrenching screams.
It hurts, he can imagine.
In his past and present lives, he was also the first time to witness such a scene, which is still fresh in people's memories.
Liu Yun knew that he was very lucky, it was Yang Zhicheng who brought him to suffer, and he was full of guilt.
The door of the chairman's office was quietly opened, and Chen Zhe walked over with a serious face.
Liu Yun glanced at him indifferently and said, "Let's say, no matter how serious the situation is, I am mentally prepared." ”
Chen Zhe sighed and said, "The matter has spread, and now the whole network knows about it. ”
"So fast?"
"Actually, last night, the man made this post in the Warcraft section of the Youyou Game Forum, and then soon the World of Warcraft post bar reprinted the post, followed by the cat pounce. ”
So in just one night, the news spread like a plague. Liu Yun picked up the words.
The tone was flat, but there was a sense of calm before the storm.
"What's going on in the game. ”
"Countless players have created a tier 1 trumpet and committed suicide in the Alliance's main cities, Ironforge and Stormwind, to protest against this. ”
Liu Yun closed his eyes slightly, and he thought of this scene, which was exactly the same as when the "Bronze Whisker Gate" incident broke out in his previous life.
The only difference is that in the previous life it was a protest against a player named Copperbeard.
And this time, it's a protest against Yoyo.
Liu Yun understands that players of Warcraft have always had a great sense of justice.
Chen Zhe lowered his head and said, "Mr. Liu, as the leader of the Warcraft operation team, I have an unshirkable responsibility. ”
Liu Yun glanced at him and said, "Do you know that Chen Zhouyang is using game bugs to make profits? In addition to him, is there anyone else in the operation team who has also done this?"
He asked two questions in a row.
There are bugs in any online game, even World of Warcraft, which is hailed as an epic classic online game.
Gamers themselves have found that the severity of the latter is much higher than that of the former who use bugs to make money and leak them.
Chen Zhe stubbornly said: "He is the only one who did this, and I knew something about it beforehand." ”
"Then why don't you stop it?"
"I don't think one person can upset the balance of the game, especially if his movements are not obvious. ”
Liu Yun's palm slapped the table angrily.
"Nonsense!"
He calmed down his emotions and asked, "Because he is Vice President Liu's cousin, you are afraid to indulge him, aren't you?"
Chen Zhe was silent, but silence represented acquiescence.
The two were relatively silent, and after a while, Chen Zhe broke the silence.
"Mr. Liu, I am willing to be responsible. ”
As he spoke, he seemed to have made a great deal of determination.
Liu Yun replied directly: "Although you are not primarily responsible for this matter, you are not effective in supervising your subordinates, and you still have to pay the secondary responsibility." ”
After pondering for a few seconds, he continued, "I remove you from your position as the head of the Warcraft Operations Team. ”
"I accept. ”
"I'm not done yet. I can make a private verbal agreement with you, after the official launch of "Demon Domain", you will become the head of the operation team of this game, but when Yoyo Company announced it to the public, it will only say that you will be removed from your current position, but it will not explain the new position you will take on. ”
"I'll give you a chance, and I hope you can make up for it. ”
Chen Zhe understands that the reason why the company is doing this is to block the mouth of Youyou on the Internet.
He was a little moved in his heart and said, "Thank you Mr. Liu for being willing to give me a chance." ”
"You go to the administration department and draw up a statement together, which roughly means that the company has decided to fire Chen Zhouyang, and we don't need such black sheep. ”
With that, Liu Yun waved his hand.
Chen Zhe received the order and left with a grim face.
Liu Yun opened the webpage and took a cursory glance.
He found that the four major portals had opened special topics on the matter and carried out special reports.
At this moment, presumably the editors of those portals must be in a state of extreme excitement.
Knock knock!
There was another knock on the door in his office, and Liu Yun's heart moved, as if he had guessed that someone was coming.
"Come in. ”
Sure enough, it was Liu Yueru who knocked on the door.
When she came in, she sat across from Liu Yun with a pale face.
"I'm sorry, but I have a responsibility that I can't shirk. Liu Yueru spoke, her tone full of remorse.
"Actually, it doesn't have much to do with you, he's him, you're you. Emotionally speaking, Liu Yun is still a little partial to Liu Yueru.
This is human selfishness, and it is also human nature.
Liu Yueru smiled wryly and said, "If it weren't for my relationship, he wouldn't have been able to come." What's more, it's my responsibility for him to go to the Warcraft operation team. ”
After a slight pause, she continued: "When I first came to the company, if I just put him in the purchasing department of the office, it would be a lot to embezzle a little office supplies, but I took it upon myself to transfer him to the Warcraft operation team, and it caused such a big trouble. ”
Liu Yun said lightly: "You already have the right to do this. ”
Liu Yueru said in a firm tone: "The expulsion of Chen Zhouyang is not enough to explain to the public. ”
"I understand, so I also dismissed Chen Zhe as the leader of the Warcraft operation team. ”
"It's not enough, we need to let the public see the determination of the strong man of Yoyo Company to survive this crisis of public opinion. ”
Liu Yun frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"
Liu Yueru looked at Liu Yun calmly and said, "I will make an announcement to resign from the position of vice president of Yoyo Group and general manager of Yoyo Holiday." ”
Liu Yun looked at her cousin's eyes, knew that she wasn't joking, and sighed: "Actually, there is no need for this. ”
Liu Yueru shook her head and said, "2006 is very critical for Youyou, and there is no room for mistakes. Only by doing so can we regain the lost ground of public opinion. ”
Liu Yun was silent for a moment and asked, "What are you going to do after leaving Youyou?"
Liu Yueru thought for a while and said: "Actually, I don't have a clue, or I'm going to sign up for an MBA training class and charge myself." ”
Liu Yun groaned slightly, but still nodded.
This seemed to be the best solution to the current crisis, and the proposal was agreed.
"The position of the board of directors of the company will be reserved for you. He added.
"Yes, I hold 3% of the company's shares, of which 1% needs to be purchased through dividends and bonuses, and this part will be returned to the company, and the remaining 2% will be held by you for me. Liu Yueru thought for a while and said.
......
Early the next morning, the company officially held a press conference.
The press conference was crowded with news media from all over the country, and netizens across the country were waiting for what kind of response this rapidly rising upstart company would give.
A total of four people attended the press conference, in addition to Liu Yun, Liu Yueru, Chen Zhe and Zhu Xiaoli, the administrative director.
The four men bowed to the crackling cameras of the media reporters.
Liu Yueru was the first to speak: "Thank you for your hard work and coming to our meeting. I'm sorry that this incident has been widely circulated on the Internet, and it has also had a great negative impact on society. As a socially responsible company, we are also deeply aware that it is a serious mistake for the company to have such a thing happening. ”
A reporter asked: "Mr. Liu, it is said that Chen Zhouyang, the protagonist of this derailment, is your relative, will you shield him?"
Liu Yun said lightly: "He is an employee of Yoyo Company, but he is not my relative. ”
The reporter continued to ask: "It is rumored that it is Liu Yueru's cousin, is this news fake?"
Liu Yueru took the microphone and said: "Chen Zhouyang is my cousin, but he has no blood relationship with Mr. Liu, he is a relative of my mother." To give you a very simple example, your father's sister is your aunt, but you are also unlikely to know relatives on your aunt's husband's side because there is no blood relationship. ”
Chen Zhouyang, Liu Yueru's cousin, and Liu Yun are Liu Yueru's cousin, and the relationship between the two is indeed not related by blood, so it is not a relative, which makes sense legally.
Everyone present also understood that with this estranged relationship, Liu Yun had no need to shield Chen Zhouyang at all.
Liu Yueru continued: "It was I who recruited Chen Zhouyang into Youyou Company on my own initiative, and Mr. Liu didn't know about this from beginning to end, nor did he know him. It wasn't until yesterday that he learned about the kinship between Chen Zhouyang and me. After all, in a company as large as Yoyo, there will be grassroots employees coming in and out every day, and it is impossible for the boss to ask about it, and my position at that time was the CEO of Yoyo Network, and I also had the authority to recruit them directly into the company, without informing Mr. Liu. ”
Zhu Xiaoli and Chen Zhe were expressionless, but a hint of discoloration flashed in their eyes, and Liu Yun's heart flashed with shock.
Liu Yueru's words were half-true, and she wanted to shoulder all the responsibilities on her shoulders when she heard her tone.
She said that Liu Yun didn't know Chen Zhouyang, let alone the kinship between the two, but she took it upon herself to recruit this cousin into the company and did not inform her.
She is the former CEO of Yoyo Network, and it is normal to have this right, and it can be explained, which can make the reporters present believe it.
Liu Yueru took a deep breath and said: "But in any case, I have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, I announce my resignation from the position of vice president of Yoyo Group and general manager of Yoyo Holiday.com, and go through the resignation procedures in the next week." ”
As soon as the words fell, the reporters present couldn't help but gasp.
As one of the veterans of the company and Liu Yun's cousin, Liu Yueru chose to resign to take charge of this incident, which is also an explanation to the public.
Yoyo Group has great determination and perseverance!
Then, it was Zhu Xiaoli's turn to speak, she held a document in her hand, and said into the microphone: "The group company has decided to agree with Ms. Liu Yueru's resignation request after research, and I also wish her a smooth sailing in the future." ”
After a pause, she continued: "The group company also made the following decisions: 1. Formally dismiss the offending employee Chen Zhouyang, never hire him, and recover the losses caused to the company by this incident on the grounds that the other party violated the company's commercial confidentiality agreement. ”
The latter sentence, in fact, is more form than meaning, and it is really very difficult to implement, because even if all the assets of Chen Zhouyang's ancestors and grandchildren are combined, they cannot afford to compensate for the commercial losses caused by this incident.
Liu Yun did this, just to make a gesture to the outside world and show determination.
2. Comrade Chen Zhe was dismissed from the post of director of the game operation department and demoted to an ordinary employee of the company. ”
Chen Zhe stood up and bowed to everyone again.
There was a private verbal agreement between Liu Yun and him, so Chen Zhe had no objection to the result of this disposal.
3. We can understand the man's anger, but we don't agree with his hurtful behavior. The company's Minister Yang was injured and hospitalized, and we will entrust a law firm to formally file a lawsuit against him in accordance with the law. ”
After Zhu Xiaoli said this, she handed the microphone to Liu Yun.
At this press conference, it is impossible for Liu Yun not to speak, and his words and deeds will become the focus of all media.
"I would like to add to the third point I just made. In the eyes of the public, the man who committed the murder suffered a great grievance, so it is understandable. Is there any suspicion that we will drive him to a dead end? It is true that he has grievances, but this is not a reason to use a murder weapon to hurt people. Our company is just doing this to express a gesture, the injured director Yang Zhicheng is innocent, and the company must seek justice for him. Medical expenses, even if the other party has no money and can't afford to pay, the company can pay, but the perpetrator should be punished by law. ”
"Second, I am sorry that in this incident, Yoyo Company has had a negative impact on the society, and it is also contrary to the traditional values of our Chinese society. ”
Although Huaxia's law does not have any punishment for marital cheating, the majority of netizens hate such behavior, and once this behavior is exposed, it can be said that the crowd is excited.
In the previous life, the Warcraft of the Nine Cities Era, a player called Blade Piercing Bone Cold, published a post on the Maopu Forum about his wife's cheating guild president, which completely detonated the entire Internet, and that player also received the support of countless netizens;
To take the simplest example, the Chinese people's tolerance for marital infidelity of public figures is completely different from that of American society.
For example, in his previous life, Wen Zhang, a popular actor who won the actor and became popular, was kicked out by the media for the news of cheating in marriage, and his acting career plummeted and slipped from the peak, and his cheating partner Yao Xiaodi was the same, from a popular flower girl to a street rat, and everyone scolded him.
And Hollywood superstar, Brad Pitt also cheated on Angelina Jolie in marriage, and even divorced him, except for making the gossip entertainment media in the United States climax, the public's reaction was not very indignant. The acting careers of the two of them are even more prosperous.
Therefore, Liu Yun can understand the anger of netizens.
"I have decided that from 2006 onwards, the company will set up a special charity fund from 8% of its annual revenue to help those in need in our country. We will help build some schools and provide bursaries to those who are in need. ”
