Chapter 568: Chapter 564 Everyone Supports Richelie Dunn
Translator: 549690339
Upon hearing this, Richelle understood that the video was probably a compilation of clips from yesterday and today.
“What’s the public opinion like?”
Denise Munni clicked her tongue, “Of course, it’s overwhelmingly supportive of Mr. Dunn. That staff member from the pharmaceutical department, his name is Mr. Gregory, right? He’s just asking for trouble.”
Richelle shrugged her shoulders, holding her phone, “There are always people like this, brainless and tasteless!”
In Richelle’s view, being brainless is just a matter of ability, which can be saved; but being tasteless is beyond salvation.
“Let Master Lewis take a look and decide if it needs to be removed. However, in my opinion, that kind of scum should be exposed for a few more days.”
Richelle herself didn’t care, but after all, Mr. Gregory was a subordinate of Kennedy Green. As long as the video was hanging there, it might be used by people with ulterior motives to attack Kennedy Green and even the government.
“I’ll talk to Roy then.”
She hung up the phone, walked out of the living room, and told Roy Lewis about the matter.
Roy Lewis then opened the webpage directly on his computer. The video was over ten minutes long and indeed contained clips of Richelle and Mr. Gregory’s parts.
From Mr. Gregory’s perspective, he probably thought these clips were done by someone sent by Richelle.
At most, Richelle thought that such news would appear in text form in the media.
But she never expected it to be such a heavily edited video with strong implications.
After the edit, Mr. Gregory’s face appeared even more hideous and ferocious.
“Roy, we might need a statement from the pharmaceutical department about this matter.”
Because Richelle had already seen a few scattered comments among the tens of thousands, criticizing the government staff’s arrogance.
And these scattered comments would probably be used by interested parties soon enough.
Roy nodded, although he was reluctant to deal with this matter and let Mr. Gregory ruin his reputation.
But the overall situation had to be considered.
Especially since the election was just around the corner, there was no room for mistakes.
Roy quickly removed the top search on his end, and all videos on the entire internet were unsearchable.
However, just as the Intranet was cleared, many posts quickly appeared on various websites on the external internet.
On Roy’s side, he could control the Intranet but couldn’t extend his reach to the external internet.
Moreover, with his status, if he reached out to the external internet, he would surely be taken advantage of by foreign forces, claiming that East Asia’s richest man was interfering with freedom of speech and such.
Seeing this situation, Richelle went back to the kitchen to turn off the stove and came out to tell Roy.
“I have some urgent matters to deal with. You just take care of the Intranet issues, issue statements if necessary, and deal with the people who need to be dealt with.”
Roy just nodded without asking her anything else.
Because he knew that she was going to use Margareth’s account to catch the thieves on the external internet.
Sure enough, half an hour after Richelle entered the bedroom, all the videos about Mr. Gregory quickly disappeared on various major websites and forums on the external internet, as well as some private accounts.
In the meantime, Roy had not been idle either. He urged the pharmaceutical department to quickly release a statement with an official seal.
It stated that Mr. Gregory would be relieved of his duties pending further investigation and the final outcome would be announced once everything was cleared up.
The whole incident, from the appearance of the video on the internet to the pharmaceutical department’s statement, took less than an hour.
Although there were still many discussions online.
Among them, many spoke in favor of the Federation government.
“Every president and their subordinate departments have various problems. But under President Green’s leadership, the response has been the most timely, swift, and appropriate!”
“Yeah, do you guys remember the absurd scandals of the former president? He not only didn’t punish or dismiss his close subordinates for their dereliction of duty but also covered for them.”
“To the person above, you must have the surname Green, right? You always speak for the Greens. Talking about swift and timely responses and appropriate punishments. Don’t you know that the person being attacked by Mr. Gregory in the video is Roy Lewis’s wife? She’s also the current President Green’s niece-in-law. Of course, President Green would respond swiftly and timely when his niece-in-law is being bullied!”
“To the person above, your words are too extreme. I watched the previous video, and honestly speaking, Mr. Gregory indeed targeted Mr. Dunn constantly. In the two-day speech, Mr. Dunn made valid points for every topic, not only demonstrating a broader vision but also proposing greater corporate responsibilities. As such a righteous and successful entrepreneur, shouldn’t she have the chance to clarify and uphold justice when attacked by a government staff? What kind of order can there be in society if not?”
“Yes, although Richelle is the CEO of Lewis Group, she should also have the rights of an ordinary citizen!”
“Exactly, we can’t think that just because she’s successful and her status is higher than ours, she deserves to be attacked. Besides, shouldn’t we protect entrepreneurs with a strong sense of social responsibility, like Richelle?”
“Yes, Richelle is one of the few successful entrepreneurs who can stand at a high level and speak for us ordinary people. We shouldn’t let our narrow-mindedness deter them!”
As Roy watched the waves of supportive comments for Richelle emerging online, he felt incredibly proud and elated!
