After a night of dealing with public relations, despite the written clarification statement came out, the Internet rumors seem to have improved. They worked till past midnight only then they got off work.
Hayden and Dante came downstairs side by side, Benjamin had been waiting for her at the door for quite sometimes.
After he saw Benjamin, Dante nodded his head as a greeting and said to Hayden, “So, I’ll leave first. You take care on the way back.”
“Okay, thanks for your hard work.”
“Don’t mention it, but these two days, I suggest you to be extra careful. Get someone to accompany you whenever you are outside. Cyber violence is not a joke.” Dante had been through this, so he spoke with empathetic concern.
Hayden nodded, “Don’t worry.”
As she reached home, she saw the light in the living room was on and the house was quiet.
Not long after Hayden opened the door, Joseph walked out of the bedroom of the two children.
“All asleep?” Hayden asked subconsciously.
Joseph nodded, “Yes. How are things being handled?”
“You knew everything?”
Hayden put down her bag, changed her shoes and went to the kitchen to pour some tea.
Even people like Joseph who never surf the Internet knew about the news this time, that meant it was really a big deal.
“It’s hard for him to not know. I heard that the migrant workers in Downey Group were making trouble again. Downey Group was just a street away from ST Group, how could we not know?” Benjamin explained and sat down on the sofa.
Joseph glanced at him and followed Hayden into kitchen to help.
Three cups of tea were poured, one cup was placed in front of each person. The three of them sat down around the coffee table.
“How’s the investigation?” Joseph asked. He looked directly at Benjamin.
Upon seeing this, Benjamin frowned, “What investigation? How do you know I'm investigating?"
“First, you just submitted a bid to Joann Group, then someone immediately exposed negative things about Hayden. Then, right after the discussion on the Internet was controlled just now, someone immediately exposed the relationship between Downey Group, Hayden and Green Lemon Clothing. If it is said to be a coincidence, it would be too coincidental.”
Joseph had a sharp eye, so he could naturally figure out all this.
“Since you’re so smart to think of all this, why didn’t you warn Hayden in advance?”
Benjamin deliberately squinted at him, with a stance of seeing what he would say.
“You may be able to prevent them from using this matter to write into articles of rumor, but you still can’t prevent other things from happening. Better a little loss than a long sorrow. It is better to face this problem when you just start your business. It will be worse if you face them after you have built up your business.”
“Why don’t you just say that there’s nothing to be afraid if you have nothing to lose?”
“Instead of wasting time playing word games with me, why don't you tell us what you actually found out.” This was indeed Joseph’s style. He could always lead the situation with just a few words.
Although Benjamin was not convinced, he knew that this was not the time to play. He spoke solemnly, “When Hayden sent me the message, I was already at the door of the meeting room. I installed a bug in the toilet in advance. This phone recording is about Campbell.”
As he said, he placed a thumb drive on the desktop, “Later, I pieced together what the person in his phone had said based on the signal wave. The match was around 90%.”
“Just tell me, what’s the problem you found?” Hayden didn’t listen to the recording, Time was flying, she didn’t have the time to compare it bit by bit. She also believed in Benjamin’s professional ability in this area.
“It was confirmed that Campbell was indeed from Yi-Pai’s side. If I’m not wrong, Dante’s design draft was revealed by him to Yi-Pai’s side. I guess he probably wanted to leave the company a long time ago. There are only two possibilities for not leaving now.”
