Chapter 3350: Chapter 3342: Suing Lin Yi

The regional executives of BMW hadn’t rested.

They were dealing with this unprecedented public relations crisis.

"Boss, I think we should say that those two foreigners are our employees and giving them ice cream is an internal employee benefit."

Vice President Zhong Guomin said.

"There aren’t any other options."

Regional General Manager Zheng Liang said.

The executives exchanged glances; this was the best solution they could think of.

After all, the incident had already happened, and with so many eyes watching, it was hard to provide an effective explanation.

"We can only say that those two people are temporary workers and it was due to inadequate training. That’s all we can do." Zhong Guomin said.

"As for the heat on this, we need to find a way to bring it down; otherwise, if it keeps escalating, our losses will be greater." Zheng Liang said.

"I think we should make an example out of someone, warn those minor bloggers and nosy netizens not to stir things up online. In a few days, no one will remember this incident."

Zhong Guomin’s approach was met with agreement from the others.

"I saw a post online that has gained a lot of traction, even reaching the tenth spot on trending topics; we could target that."

"What kind of post?"

The PR manager cast their phone onto the big screen.

"It’s this person called Invisible Chicken Wings, deliberately inciting netizens and stirring things up online, clearly with bad intentions."

Seeing Lin Yi’s comment, everyone in the meeting room looked serious.

"The account has nothing on it. Could it be trolls hired by other brands?"

"It doesn’t seem like it." Zhong Guomin said:

"It’s probably just a keyboard warrior looking for a spectacle."

"Based on my analysis, accounts with nothing on them usually belong to people who are dissatisfied with their lives." The operations director said:

"Timid in reality, they can only make wild claims online."

"If I’m not mistaken, aren’t such people generally called losers?" Zhong Guomin said.

"Pretty much."

"Do any of you have contacts in this area who can find out his specific information?" Zheng Liang said:

"Now that he’s gained so much attention, we could target him, send a lawyer’s letter and sue him for defamation."

This proposal received unanimous approval in the meeting room.

"I think it’s completely fine." Zhong Guomin said:

"There are lots of people like that online stirring things up, but they’re all just keyboard warriors. As long as we send out a lawyer’s letter, we can scare them to death."

"That’s exactly what I mean." Zheng Liang said:

"Just a motley crew, dealing with them is entirely up to us."

"Then let’s do it. First, release a PR statement saying those two foreigners are internal employees, and then send a lawyer’s letter to that person called Invisible Chicken Wings."

"Alright."

...

The next morning, after Lin Yi washed up, he went to the car exhibition.

Compared to the first day, the crowd hadn’t dwindled much.

But the number of people signing orders backstage had relatively decreased.

As a free agent, Lin Yi’s main task was mobility.

Go wherever needed, stay put when not.

After getting an idea of the situation backstage, he planned to wander elsewhere, seeking new opportunities, to see if he could sell more cars.

The BMW booth was still the same as yesterday.

It could be described as deserted, with only a handful of people, a portion of whom were foreigners.

But on the other side of the booth, a dozen or so people appeared.

All in suits and ties, middle-aged, looking like successful individuals.

Several staff members accompanied them.

Even without knowing who they were, it was clear they were likely executives.

The arrival of these people was expected by Lin Yi.

If no one showed up after such a major incident, it would be like they didn’t want their jobs.

Lin Yi took out his phone and found that an official emergency PR had been released.

But the PR content made Lin Yi want to laugh.

Many netizens had already predicted the content in advance.

As expected, it matched what they predicted.

"Truly lacking any creativity or sincerity."

After a snide remark, Lin Yi continued browsing the exhibition.

But then his phone in his pocket rang.

Ring ring ring—

Taking it out, he saw a call from Ji Qingyan.

"What’s up?"

"Got some good news for you."

"What good news?"

"Guess?"

"You’re not...pregnant, are you?"

"I wish I were, but sadly no." Ji Qingyan said:

"You got sued because of your post yesterday."

"Hmm?"

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, "What did you say? I got sued?"

"Yes, they accused you of defamation and sent you a lawyer’s letter. I’ve sent the video to you, take a look."

"Okay."

Ji Qingyan hung up the phone, and Lin Yi took out his phone to see the lawyer’s letter released by the official account.

The letter demanded a public apology, or else they would take judicial action.

Lin Yi scratched his head, "You people really do bully the weak."

He opened the comments, which were filled with sarcastic remarks.

Lin Yi replied on the post.

"Apologize to your mother, I’m ready for the lawsuit."

After replying, Lin Yi put his phone back in his pocket and continued idly wandering around the exhibition.

When he saw attractive models, he would share them in the small group of four.

"Damn, Lin Bro, I saw your reply just now, and within just over twenty minutes, it already has over ten thousand likes." Liang Jinming said, laughing.

"Are you planning to fight them head-on? Can Lingyun Group’s legal department make them pay?" Gao Zongyuan said.

"I’ll take their kidneys out."

"Who cares about them? I’m just responsible for showing off, the rest is up to the legal department."

It was clear that Lin Yi wasn’t taking the matter seriously at all.

After making a round, Lin Yi returned to the booth.

Seeing Lin Yi return, Chen Lin hurried up to him.

"Slow down, you’re in heels, don’t sprain your ankle."

"Is this account yours? It looks familiar to me."

Since Chen Lin followed Lin Yi, she saw the account named Invisible Chicken Wings and confirmed it was his.

But whether it was posted by him personally was still up for discussion.

"I posted it."

"You really are something; there’s no need to confront them since we’ve already achieved our goal."

"I didn’t confront them; they were the ones who sued me first."

"Mainly because the comment you posted went viral online, I guess they want to make an example of you, to silence everyone else."

"I was just telling the truth. If I apologize, doesn’t that mean I’m backing down?"

"But the problem is that they might sue you." Chen Lin said:

"Your current status is as an employee of a 4S dealership. The headquarters and regional office won’t take the blame for you."
