Lu Yaohua said angrily, “Good, good! I want to see which newspaper will publish this piece of news! Do you think I’ve lived in Shanghai for nothing?!”
Lu Ming was happy that he was angry.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make you famous.”
With that, the other party hung up.
Lu Ming clicked his tongue. “He dares to challenge me with such mental fortitude?” he thought.
He took out his cell phone and dialed a number. He said, “Spread the news of the Lu Corporation cutting corners and building dangerous apartments. Then there’s the matter of Li Xiaomei…”
He had asked someone from Metropolitan to interview Li Xiaomei just now. As long as these two incidents were exposed, the Lu family would definitely not be able to react!
Instantly, news of the Lu Family using poor-quality building materials made its way to the hot searches list.
It triggered a storm of explosive comments on Weibo!
[“What’s going on? The Lu family is actually building dangerous apartments? Luckily, I didn’t buy one previously because I thought it was too expensive. Otherwise, I would have lost my life. To cut back so much on material costs—well, what can I say!”]
[“F*ck! My uncle and auntie bought one. They said that their home is like a cave with a waterfall on rainy days, and that whatever feedback they gave was useless. So it’s a dangerous home!? I have to inform them quickly!”]
[“Why are you only telling me now? I just bought a Lu Corporation apartment with the salary I saved over the years. Is it too late for me to cancel now? I regret it so much!”]
[“It’s said that the people who bought the Lu Corporation apartment have rallied together. Such unscrupulous businessmen should be reprimanded to death! Doesn’t it hurt your conscience to cheat ordinary people?! Oh right, someone died in a Lu Corporation construction site. Go check out the second trending topic!”]
…
Metropolitan’s newspaper sales were also increasing rapidly!
Judging from the momentum, it seemed like Metropolitan was about to surpass the newspaper in the top place!
Lu Ming was also paying attention to this matter online. His cell phone suddenly rang.
“Boss, our newspapers are selling very well! Now, we just need to acquire some good paper media and we will be able to reach the top smoothly. Do you want to acquire them?”
There was obvious joy in his voice.
Even Lu Ming’s heart could not help but beat faster. “Acquisition. I want Metropolitan to become the top media in the country!”
Then he dialed another number. “Send a few people to the Lu Corporation…”
Lu Corporation.
There was a huge crowd at the entrance. They were all victims of apartment purchase!
They had a huge banner in their hands that read, ‘Black-hearted Group, refund my apartment purchase!’
A middle-aged man in the lead shouted loudly, “Lu Yaohua! Someone from your company, come out and give us an explanation! Otherwise, we won’t disperse! Evil company! Return my money!”
Once he shouted, others also said, “Evil company! Return my money!”
The noise continued for a long time.
The Lu Corporation’s executives were also in a conundrum!
“Director Shi, quickly call the chairman! If this continues, the Lu Corporation will definitely be in trouble!”
“Yes, yes! Director Shi, quickly ask the chairman what to do.”
“If they block the door like this, we won’t even be able to go home! The employees are all reacting.”
…
Shi Tian hurriedly nodded. “I’ll go ask the chairman now.”
When Lu Yaohua found out that the company had been surrounded, he almost fainted again!
“Why?” he wondered.
“Why would Metropolitan publish this matter!?”
He wondered if Lu Ming knew the boss of Metropolitan.
Other than that, he couldn’t think of any other possibility.
After all, the Lu Corporation seldom interacted with Metropolitan and he did not have the chance to offend the other party. It could only be Lu Ming.
“Damn it!” he thought.
He could threaten any newspaper company in Shanghai except Metropolitan.
He could not afford to offend them!
When Shi Tian saw that the phone was silent, he asked, “Chairman Lu? Are you still listening?”
Lu Yaohua wished he was deaf. He gritted his teeth and said, “Tell them to sue me if they dare!”
With that, he hung up.
Shi Tian walked to the door and faced a group of people. He swallowed his saliva and said, “In what capacity are you blocking our entrance here? If you have the ability, go and sue us!”
The moment he finished speaking, the entire place fell silent!
They all knew that the lawyers hired by the Lu Corporation could turn black into white and white into black.
The middle-aged man in the lead smashed the egg in his hand directly at him!
He cursed angrily, “Damn it! I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as you!”
Seeing this, the others also threw the items in their hands at Director Shi!
Seeing how bad the situation was, Shi Tian scuttled away.
When dusk came, the people blocking the entrance were famished and started to disperse.
When the middle-aged man was about to go home to fill his stomach, he was stopped by an elite man in a black suit. “Do you really want to give up just like that?”
“Of course, I don’t want to let them off so easily! But we don’t have the money to hire a lawyer, and the money is all spent on the apartment.”
The middle-aged man said helplessly.
The elite man said, “As long as you want to file a lawsuit, our law firm’s lawyers can help with pro bono work. We guarantee that you will get your money back.”
The moment that was said, the rest of the people turned around and walked towards him.
“Young man, are you fooling us?”
“Can you really provide legal aid for us for free?”
“Are you serious? Don’t lie to us!”
…
The elite said firmly, “Our Themis Law Firm exists to help people like you. As long as you are willing to fight to the end, we will help you.”
He took out a few business cards and said, “This is my contact number.”
“Can I call the other victims?”
The middle-aged man asked.
“No problem, as long as it’s the same case as yours. Because justice may be late, but it definitely won’t be absent.”
The elite pushed his glasses up his nose.
Those who had returned home were also contacted by Themis Law Firm.
Lu Ming had already arranged for the people from the law firm to reach out to the various residential areas where the Lu Corporation apartments were built. As long as they were victims, they would provide free help.
Most people would take a chance by accepting the offer.
And his ultimate goal was to make the Lu Corporation bleed!
Three days later, the lawyers gathered a bunch of victims and the court hearings officially began!
Because there were too many people, half of the people were waiting outside for the verdict. They looked at the door uneasily, anticipating a victory.
Four hours later, the doors to the courthouse opened again.
The victims inside cheered as they rushed out!
“We won! Not only does the Lu Corporation have to pay us back, but they also have to compensate us for psychological damages!”
This news exploded like a bomb in the crowd!
Lu Yaohua fainted on the spot!
As the Lu Corporation was badly hit, there were many people who gloated. At the same time, the main culprit, Lu Yaohua, was targeted by them.
“I want to know everything about Lu Yaohua!”
