After being reborn, I refused to be a sucker, and my whole family was dumbfounded.

Chapter 291

"The situation escalated very quickly. When I came to the company this morning, I heard many passersby discussing it," Shan Caiwei said with a serious expression. "According to data from the marketing department..."

“Almost all the media outlets in Southern State are hyping this up.”

"Moreover, because of Lin Tianwu's special status as a celebrity, he has attracted the attention of many people in China."

"I'm afraid it will soon affect the group's normal business."

"The impact on business is negligible." Lin Ling shook his head with a wry smile: "Didn't our business almost come to a standstill in order to prevent the Zeng family from finding a vulnerability to exploit?"

“That’s true, but…” Shan Caiwei said with a worried look, “I’m afraid there might be internal problems.”

"After all, the news portrays you in such a bad light, and we're worried that some of your employees might be affected."

"Heh... If they're going to resign because of this, then let them resign." Lin Ling sneered, "My Lingyun Group doesn't need employees like this."

"Indeed." Shan Caiwei nodded: "I have already contacted the public relations department to handle it. They are working urgently to suppress the heat of this matter as soon as possible."

Lin Ling shook his head; "Don't waste your energy. Since the Zeng family is determined to get rid of me, they won't give us a chance to suppress the heat."

"Let the hype build up, let the dust settle for a while."

"We will reveal the truth when the time is right."

Dan Caiwei said anxiously, "President Lin, we can't let this escalate. The bigger the commotion, the worse it will be for us. I suggest we deal with it as soon as possible."

"I want to borrow arrows with straw boats," Lin Ling said calmly. "By taking advantage of this wave of popularity, we can build up the reputation of Lingyun Group and save a lot of marketing expenses."

"You mean...?" Shan Caiwei's eyes widened. "Wait until things blow up before clarifying, and then promote our products?"

"But this? Isn't the risk too great? It's hard to gauge the right balance."

"Don't panic. Clarifying things now won't help," Lin Ling said calmly.

Seeing this, Shan Caiwei could only nod helplessly and leave.

Lin Ling took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

He knew very well that now that the Lin family was coming forward to slander him, even if he came forward to clarify, the public would not believe him and would only think that he was making excuses.

After all, humans are naturally inclined to sympathize with the weak.

They can only wait for the hype to cool down before coming forward to clarify.

The most important thing now is not to panic.

Lin Ling stood up, deciding to ignore the matter for now.

He went to the research and development department as usual to check on the latest developments in drone and battery technologies.

Because of substantial financial investment, the introduction of a large number of highly educated talents and top technical talents poached from major companies, research and development efficiency is very high.

But Lin Ling was still not satisfied; the current experimental products were far from meeting his expectations.

Recalling his previous life, he was amazed by the drone show that the Dragon Kingdom had presented in the Camel Kingdom, which combined advanced radar, communication, and flight control technologies.

He really wanted the technology to reach that point as soon as possible, but it was actually very difficult; there were many technical hurdles that hadn't been overcome.

Listening to the R&D department's report, Lin Ling sighed.

Progress is too slow; it seems we still need to bring that drone genius from the previous life out of the university as soon as possible.

At this moment, the head of the R&D department adjusted his reading glasses, looking at Lin Ling with one eye bigger than the other, and said, "President Lin, I'm not trying to criticize you, but how did you manage to cause such a big mess?"

“We’re here to do research and development, but with these kinds of things happening all the time in the group, how can we concentrate on research and development?”

"Several employees were attacked as soon as they left their homes today, which scared half of the employees so much that they didn't dare to come to work."

"Most projects are now at a standstill, and the research and development progress will be delayed by another day."

Looking at this industry giant whom he had gone to great lengths to invite, Lin Ling said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I will handle this matter as soon as possible."

"Furthermore, I will build a new campus as soon as possible and separate the R&D department to avoid the R&D department being affected by the group's trivial matters."

The head of the R&D department nodded and sighed, "I understand your difficulties. This kind of business competition is really disgusting. It can only be considered mutual understanding."

"If the research and development progress is slow, you have to understand us."

"The research and development progress cannot be slowed down." Lin Ling said firmly, "We must develop it as soon as possible. We must become the only giant in the domestic drone industry as soon as possible."

"Funding is not a problem at all. Just tell me what equipment and personnel you need."

"I really appreciate your respect for science and technology," the R&D department head said with a smile. "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, we'll complete the mission as soon as possible."

Lin Ling nodded: "With current technology, is it possible to use hundreds of drones to form a few words?"

"I want to take revenge on the Zeng family, and at the same time, show off the strength of our Lingyun Group."
