“Yes,” Mindy said and quickly left the meeting room. Wynn was left alone in the huge conference room. She did not know if she could withstand the power of the internet. In the last incident, the change of public opinion was due to the huge investment from Milanelson Angel Investment Group. Should she ask Philip for help? Wynn was hesitant. She did not want to rely on Philip to solve the problem every time. She did not want to be a useless person. Very soon, Philip appeared in the office. “Wynn, what happened?” Philip stepped into the director’s office, noticed the despondent look on Wynn’s face, and knew that things were bad. Wynn merely smiled when she saw Philip and said, “It’s fine. I’m handling it.” “How’s it going?” Philip continued asking. Wynn shook her head and said, “The medical association’s branch office canceled our qualifications and ordered us to suspend production for three months, but you don’t need to worry. I’m thinking of a way now. I know Mr.
Anna was slightly taken aback by those words. She realized that Wynn was an untouchable existence in Philip’s heart! This woman was too blissful. With Philip always supporting and helping her from behind, Anna was even a little envious and jealous. However, she understood that in Philip’s eyes, Wynn was everything. Even if she gave her body to him for free, she would not get any attention. “Mr. Clarke, how do you want us to retaliate?” Knowing that Philip was angry with Robbie James, Anna could predict that Riverdale’s entertainment industry would undergo a massive reshuffle. Philip took a puff of his cigarette and said with a chill in his eyes, “Find me 100 verified accounts to act as keyboard warriors, as well as accounting and financial-related assistants. I want it fast. We’ll act tonight.” “Mr. Clarke, what are you going to do?” Anna was extremely surprised. It seemed that Philip was planning to attack Robbie. “Aren’t they trying to control the public opinion o
“The trending topics we hyped up regarding Beacon and Wynn Johnston have dropped from the top ten!” Leo Brady wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “It must be done by Beacon’s PR department. Why are you panicking? Just hype the topics up again. Isn’t it just money? One million!” Robbie waved his hand as he said confidently. However, Beacon’s reaction was quite quick. It seemed that Wynn Johnston was not incompetent after all. Leo’s next sentence left Robbie stunned. “No, Mr. James, all the five trending searches fell out of the top 20. If we hype them up again, we need at least five million!” “What?!” Robbie panicked. He quickly sat up, clicked on the webpage, and browsed through the search engines. He was instantly shocked! He found that those topics were no longer trending. In the entire network, rumors about Beacon and Wynn were being deleted at an unbelievable rate. Terrifying! The opponent was savage! This method was impossible without the cooperation of
Philip was very calm. He chuckled and said, “Wynnie, what’s the matter? I just saw that the trending topics on the internet about the company have dropped. I had just wanted to ask if I could do something.” Philip did not admit it because he knew that Wynn did not want his help. She was a headstrong woman and wanted to solve the problem on her own. Wynn frowned and was obviously taken aback. If not Philip, then who? “Oh, I already know. The company’s PR department is dealing with it,” Wynn smiled and said, the expression on her face unnatural. “Okay, if you need anything, feel free to contact me. I can help you,” Philip said and hung up. Wynn crossed her arms over her chest as her face became more doubtful. She asked again, “Are you sure it’s not done by us?” The manager pushed his glasses and said, “No, the manipulator or team behind the scenes is very strong. The funds and connections are beyond our ability. With this work alone, they must have spent at least tens of mi
Robbie panicked. With a deep frown, he slammed the table and said, “Throw in more money! Increase the price to 20 million!” “Mr. James, we don’t stand a chance. The other party has already forked out 50 million. If we want to fight, we need this amount.” Leo held up one finger. 100 million! Robbie slumped on his chair. How could this be? Was Beacon’s public relations team so strong? They were practically fighting with their lives! 100 million. Could Robbie afford it? No! He needed to consult Hendricks. However, just five minutes ago in Theo’s conference room. Philip stood calmly in front of the large French window with his hands in his trouser pockets. He was watching the neon lights outside the window and the tall buildings. Behind him, Anna walked with graceful steps and handed him a cup of coffee while smiling charmingly. “Mr. Clarke, we’re ready to begin.” Philip took the coffee, turned around, and looked at the dozens of people in the conference room, a
He fully understood the power of the internet. He knew that the negative impact behind these ten hot search topics would be devastating! “Mr. James, something went wrong. We’re suspended!” Leo rushed in with his computer, extremely agitated. Of course, Robbie realized the reason. He glanced at Leo and said anxiously, “Quickly, drop the hot searches. No matter how much it costs, we must drop them!” In an instant, the entire mansion quickly became busy, and various phone calls came in and out. On the other hand, Robbie sat limply on the sofa with his eyes wide open. He was staring straight at the hot search topics, and every topic was labeled ‘hot’. Ten minutes passed. Not only did the hot searches not drop, but they were getting more and more popular! Leo reappeared at the door, his eyes blank. He felt like he was sobbing without tears. “Mr. James, it’s over. We… We can’t drop them! There are too many people. More than 100 big accounts, hundreds of millions of fans!” T
“Mr. Clarke, we’re currently buying a large number of shares and acquiring Beaver Media regardless of the price. At present, we already own 60% of Beaver Media,” ten minutes later, Anna reported. Now, Beaver Media’s stock prices had plunged because of the scandals. However, some people still refused to sell. “That’s too little. I want everything. Who refused to sell?” Philip frowned. This was different from his expectations. “The other party is a cunning old fox in the business who seemed to have noticed something. We’ve doubled the price, but he still refused,” Anna said with a frown. “Hehe, money makes the world go round. Increase the price by five times. I don’t believe these old foxes will forgo this chance. I must take down Beaver Media. Anyone who dares to do anything to Wynn will suffer the consequences!” Philip said coldly and adamantly. In fact, this matter would be much easier if Old George was the one operating it. However, Philip did not want to make use of
Philip was in a dilemma. He could neither admit nor deny it. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, “I asked a friend to help. He has some connections and resources in the circle.” On the other end, Wynn was silent for a moment before saying, “Thank you.” Sure enough, it was Philip. However, was his friend really that amazing? According to the colleagues from the PR department, this person was formidable with powerful methods! “I want to thank him in person. Please arrange it for me,” Wynn suddenly said. This time, Philip was flustered as he quickly declined. “Well, he’s not in Riverdale but Capital City. Maybe next time I’ll treat him.” Wynn was too persistent. “Well, okay then, but you must thank him for me. He did me a great favor this time,” Wynn said gratefully, “By the way, how much did it cost? Let me know and I’ll wire it back to him.” Philip smiled helplessly. It was still their money in the end. “Okay, I’ll find out later. Oh yes, I have something to d
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
A woman like Arachne who pursued her own happiness was usually frowned upon. A person who was willing to sacrifice for the family would be recorded in history forever. Weaver patted Ariadna's shoulder expectantly, believing she could carry it out. After all, he did not know what had happened between them earlier. Everything was a big mistake. “I don’t think I can complete this difficult task,” Ariadna said nervously, afraid that Weaver would put too much hope on her. Ariadna knew that Rabbit had a grudge against her. Moreover, some of her actions had offended Philip, who might ignore her because of that. Thinking of this, she wanted to decline the task, but Weaver was very firm about his decision. “As the holy maiden of the family, this task is yours. No one else can do it but you.” Weaver put Ariadna on a high pedestal, so all the pressure fell on her. Weaver left with the others, leaving the poor holy maiden behind. Arachne looked at Ariadna resentfully. The opportunity
“You never considered the consequences when you tried to take advantage of us. We brought them here, and they have the right to choose. Don't think about taking advantage.” Philip nodded at Fitz’s attitude. Sure enough, he liked this earnest man and was happy with his point of view. “If you want something, you need to pay a price for it. As I mentioned, I’m a businessman, so I prefer fair trade. I’m more than happy if you want to discuss a deal with me.” In fact, they had reached an agreement before the spider people arrived. Philip would not help the other three races for free, but he was not bad enough to charge them fees either. However, the spider people were different. Not to mention that Philip had a bad impression of them, but Rabbit’s grudge also remained unavenged. The spider people scowled at Philip’s disrespect, which was simply outrageous. The other races laughed gloatingly. The spider people had always been arrogant and domineering, preventing their developme
“I'm afraid that the snake people will strike a deal with him and monopolize everything.” The old man anxiously led everyone in the direction of the snake people. They could not miss the chance to share a piece of the pie. However, he did not intend to tell his people about it. The other two races no longer existed in the outside world, so it did not matter if they could not leave. It would be best to let their legends fade away in history. That idea was very selfish. Just when he thought he could grab all the benefits by stealth, the snake people shared the information without keeping it a secret. However, the snake people only shared the news with the other two races. They did not have a good impression of the spider people and even had the idea of leaving them behind. When the spider people hurried over, they found a crowd. They saw not only the young ones of the snake people but also those from the other two races. The other two races were the turtles and magpies. Just li
The old man felt annoyed when he saw the two women not getting along. He knew that the holy maidens of the family would face a lot of struggles. Ambitious women would try every means to cause trouble just to destroy the status of the holy maidens. By doing so, they could find ways to replace them. It was an underhanded method but effective. After all, not everyone could cope with the distinguished status of the holy maiden. One mistake could be fatal. Therefore, a holy maiden had to be prideful and flawless, just like an untainted and pure white lotus. The old man nodded thoughtfully. He did not think that Arachne looked like the holy maiden, and his suspicions were confirmed. She was not the holy maiden at all. Actions spoke louder than words. Arachne did not carry a regal bearing, so she would not act like a queen even if she wore a crown. At first, the old man wondered why the spider family would choose someone so unbefitting for the role of the holy maiden. Now that
At this point, an old man walked over. Although they usually maintained their true form, they sometimes took on a human form. Unlike the snake people who did not look very different between the two forms, the spider people looked outrageous in their true forms. “Are you one of the younger generation from outside?” The old man was curious to see the younger children's arrival at this place today. As someone who could not wait to make an impression, Arachne rushed forward and began to introduce herself. In short, Arachne was gradually taking over Ariadna’s position. Although the others were annoyed, they did not say anything because Arachne was really putting in some effort. There was no point in arguing about such things. The most important thing was to remove their curse. The old man was very excited and could not wait to welcome them. “This is wonderful. It has been thousands of years since we saw an outsider!” His eyes gleamed with excitement. “Tell me how you got in,” he
