Chapter 457: Denial of the relationship
XiWi Group, Office of the President.
-Damn it. If I had known the Cazalla Group was an idiot, I should never have agreed to work with them in the first place. Now, the Cazalla Group has gone so far as to add toxic substances to our recipes for a little profit, bringing our company’s reputation down with it.
The president of the XiWi Group is in his office, fuming, and the main people involved in the project are standing in front of him, heads down and not daring to say a word.
Although the crisis caused by the Cazalla Group has only a small impact on the XiWi Group now, its influence is growing. If they did not do something, the XiWi Group would be dragged down with them.
-What do you think we should do now?
After losing his temper, the chairman of the XiWi Group calmed down a bit and asked.
No one answered after waiting a long time.
As he looked at the people in front of him, heads bowed in silence, his face turned ugly again, and he even felt like grabbing the laptop on his desk and smashing it.
-Why don’t you all speak? One by one, have you all become mute?
The shouting crowd shuddered, but still no one responded.
A sharp glance swept over everyone, and finally settled on Santiago, the assistant at his side.
Remembering that this assistant had demonstrated his extraordinary ability when he had first applied for the job, perhaps he had something to offer.
-Santiago, what do you think, how should we handle this issue?
Suddenly asked, Santiago, instead of becoming nervous, took a few steps forward to stand in front of the group.
Of course, this was a scene I had anticipated and calculated, so of course I wasn’t nervous.
-Mr President, before I answer, I would like to ask you a question.
The other man did not expect Santiago to dare to speak like that, but then he wanted to know what Santiago’s approach was.
-Go ahead and ask.
-How scared are you, President, about the Cazalla Group?
Santiago asked a direct question that, in a way, provoked the president’s authority and, indeed, the latter’s face hardened for a few moments. But in front of his subordinates, the boss’s arrogance did not allow him to show his fear of the Cazalla Group.
-Fear? The Cazalla Group is still a company, however powerful it may be, and must abide by the rules of the business world. Now that we are partners, we should know how to behave. It is the Cazalla Group that is causing all these problems and has almost got us into trouble with the XiWi Group, it is the Cazalla Group that is wrong, so why should I be afraid of it?
-That’s good.
Santiago nodded and then said.
-I think the only thing the XiWi Group can do is to hold the Cazalla Group fairly accountable and present evidence that the XiWi Group was never in cahoots with the Cazalla Group. Fortunately, when it signed the contract with the Cazalla Group, it made it clear that the skin care factories were separate. This article will be strong evidence to clear our XiWi Group of its tarnished reputation.
-What’s that like?
The delighted president, who had seen the hope in Santiago’s words, immediately followed up with the question.
-As long as we can prove that XiWi Group factories produce according to the standards and that no toxic substances have been added illegally.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
-How can we prove it?
-By making it public. Publicly get the quality control department to test the factory, convince the crowd with real data and insist that it was all a private action by the Cazalla Group, get the Ministry of Justice to sue the Cazalla Group for breach of contract and make them firmly pay the XiWi Group for all the damage they have done.
Santiago said with conviction.
His answer was certainly what the president of the XiWi Group needed, and the other man’s face immediately filled with joy.
And those other directors, seeing this, echoed the words.
-Santiago’s solution is a good one!
-Yes, with Santiago’s solution, the XiWi Group will be able to get out of this mess.
-Yes! Santiago is a worthy companion of the president, his ability is extraordinary.
Those in charge, who had not been able to say a word before, smiled and congratulated Santiago.
-Now that you know it’s a good idea, why don’t you get out of here and get ready? Have the public relations department and the legal department prepare to get the XiWi Group out of this mess as soon as possible.
-Yes, we’re on our way!
The others quickly left, leaving the XiWi Group chairman and Santiago alone in the office.
-Santiago, if your solution works, I’ll raise your salary next month.
-Thank you, President, I’m just doing my job.
-Well, Santiago, you are a lifeline for the XiWi Group.
The president of the XiWi Group said with a happy face, not knowing that the XiWi Group should not have suffered this unjustified disaster. If he, Santiago, had not wanted to use the XiWi Group to set up the Cazalla and Dylan Group, the XiWi Group would still be growing.
The funny thing is that not only does he not know it, but he has turned the culprit into the saviour.
Santiago is outwardly humble, but in his heart he sneers at the stupidity of the president of the XiWi Group.
In any case, he has muddied the waters and it only remains for him to muddy them.
Dylan, wait and see.
The XiWi Group was quick to act, and the next day displayed the lawyer’s letter on the company’s official website, and announced that it would make the results of the GC public the same day.
The whole process was open and transparent and based on facts.
The PR department also published a lengthy post claiming that the XiWi Group and the Cazalla Group worked together, that the XiWi Group had no knowledge of what the Cazalla Group was doing, and that it rightly denounced the Cazalla Group’s actions for the sake of profit without regard for the lives of consumers.
Between the lines, the XiWi Group is presented as righteous, and it is made clear that the XiWi Group is innocent.
It is also implied that this is a premeditated business rivalry, that someone who coveted the formula for the XiWi Group’s new skin care product saw the growth potential of the XiWi Group and wanted to take the joy.
Although this was not made explicit, it was suggestively pointed to the Cazalla Group.
-The official website of the Cazalla Group has been viciously attacked by internet users and the company’s share price is falling ….
Neither is good news.
-Well, start releasing the evidence we have.
-Yes, I’ll fix it right away.
Keeping Vanessa in the GC overnight was the limit, and Dylan would have brought Vanessa back if he hadn’t been trying to force Santiago out.
She was his wife, how could he stand by and watch her suffer.
While Mateo went to fix everything, Dylan went to the quality control office.
The truth was that Vanessa had slept well the night before, with a nice room, good food and drink, and a few conversations to take care of, but overall she was fine. But Dylan was still heartbroken when he saw her and hugged Vanessa for a long time.
-I’m very well. You still arranged all this, aren’t you worried about your own people?
