Chapter 231 That's his dear wife.
"They must be calling about this too. Should we answer the phone?"
Han Jian added.
Even if he didn't say it, Lu Tingnian could guess it, since he had just heard Qiao Luo mention this matter last night.
So he said to Han Jian, "Listen to what she has to say first."
Upon hearing this, Han Jian finally answered the phone.
"Mr. Han, can you get in touch with Mr. Tan? I just called him, but no one answered."
As soon as the call connected, Qiao Luo's slightly anxious voice came through the other end.
Han Jianxin thought to himself: Of course you can't contact Tan Ming. Since the incident, his phone has been bombarded with calls from various media outlets, and he has been too busy to respond.
However, since the call was on speakerphone, Lu Tingnian could hear it, so he gave Han Jian a wink.
Han Jiancai asked knowingly, "Miss Qiao, you're looking for Tan Ming...?"
Qiao Luo then quickly explained, "It's like this, I believe you've seen the article online, right? The current public opinion is very unfavorable to TL Company, and of course, our magazine is also affected. So, I want to meet with Mr. Tan to discuss how to deal with this matter."
Qiao Luo's answer was exactly what Lu Tingnian had expected. To be honest, she probably wasn't feeling too good right now, after all, she had missed out on an exclusive opportunity.
So he gave Han Jian a wink.
Han Jian then replied again, "I can try to contact Tan Ming, but Miss Qiao, you should also be prepared that you may not be able to reach him, after all, TL Company is currently in a media storm."
"I know."
After hanging up the phone, Han Jian looked at Lu Tingnian.
"Mr. Lu, are you really going to let Tan Ming meet with Miss Qiao?"
After all, the current situation is beyond Tan Ming's ability to handle.
Lu Tingnian nodded, "Go and make the arrangements. If necessary, you can take charge personally."
Han Jian nodded.
Qiao Luo soon received a call from Tan Ming, who asked her to meet him at a teahouse.
When she arrived, Tan Ming was already waiting in the private room. Seeing Qiao Luo return, he stood up and greeted her, "Miss Qiao, please have a seat."
Qiao Luo nodded and then sat down in her seat.
"Mr. Tan must be very busy lately."
Tan Ming did not answer immediately, but poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Qiao Luo before replying, "A little."
"I'm so sorry to bother you."
"It's not an intrusion, Miss Qiao must have something important to do."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo nodded, "It is indeed quite important, but it is related to your company, so I would like to arrange a meeting with Mr. Tan."
"Oh? Miss Qiao, please go ahead."
Qiao Luo then spoke up, "Mr. Tan, I'll be frank. I'm sure you've seen the situation online. The current public opinion is very unfavorable to both your company and our magazine. I wonder if your company has considered crisis public relations?"
Tan Ming was not surprised by Qiao Luo's question. Han Jian had specifically instructed him before he came that everything should be based on Qiao Luo's opinion.
So he replied, "Of course I've thought about it, but the current situation isn't suitable for crisis public relations; it might make things worse."
Qiao Luo naturally knew this as well, and she asked, "Would your company be willing to join forces with our magazine to deal with this?"
"How exactly will we join forces?" Tan Ming asked.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo explained, "The current online public opinion is mainly divided into two points. One is the issue of your company's status in the industry, which I think is easy to resolve. As long as your company can demonstrate its strength, the rumors will naturally dissipate. But the second point cannot be addressed by your company alone."
"Oh? What's the second point?" Tan Ming pressed.
Qiao Luo: "The second point is that our magazine's previous reports on your company are now being questioned by the public for having an element of exaggeration. Your company's clarification alone is not enough. I think that if our magazine were to step in, it would be more convincing. What do you think?"
Tan Ming naturally had no decision-making power over this matter, but Han Jian had previously instructed him to wait for his decision if he was unsure.
Thinking this, Tan Ming said:
"Alright then, let me think about it and get back to Miss Qiao."
Qiao Luo nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for your call."
With that, she stood up and left.
After she had walked away, Tan Ming picked up the phone. "Assistant Han, Miss Qiao has already left."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Han Jian pushed the door open and came in.
"How was the conversation?"
Han Jian sat down and asked.
Tan Ming then relayed Qiao Luo's message to Han Jian.
Han Jian did not give an answer immediately upon hearing this, but instead passed it on to Lu Tingnian.
Lu Tingnian was not surprised that Qiao Luo would come up with such an idea, after all, it was the most beneficial way for their magazine to solve the problem at present.
However, he would never have cooperated with anyone else in this matter.
After all, with his abilities, solving this problem would be a piece of cake; he wouldn't need anyone's help at all.
But who can blame them when this person is Qiao Luo?
That's his beloved wife, so even if she wasn't needed, he would still agree.
So he said to Han Jian, "Do as Qiao Luo says."
"Yes."
"Also, in the future, if you encounter similar problems, you don't need to ask for my opinion; just approve them directly."
Before Han Jian left, Lu Tingnian didn't forget to give him some instructions.
