Hong Hai Capital wasn't without its share of hugely controversial tabloid news.
Once, Xu Haicong forcibly sexually assaulted a strong-willed woman, leading her to commit suicide by throwing herself into a lake. The act even prompted her parents to hang protest banners at the company building's entrance.
That incident caused a far greater commotion than Yuan Chong's current predicament.
In the end, it was all swept under the rug.
Given Hong Hai Capital's connections and influence in Capital City, with one word from them and a few greased palms, who would risk offending Hong Hai to speak up for the poor?
In some places, power reigns supreme. Fairness, justice, and even the concepts of right and wrong hardly matter.
Because of these past experiences and their powerful PR team, Yuan Chong immediately sensed a crisis the moment this issue was widely reported.
Anything this out of the ordinary is surely a bad sign.
