Chapter 7110
He then pointed at the team leader and said coldly,
“This is the guy.”
“Most of the money earned from each event goes into his own pocket! He…”
“Just a month ago, I bought a 6.2-liter Dodge Challenger, which is practically one of the largest displacement muscle cars available on the market.”
“Someone who constantly talks about environmental protection actually bought the largest displacement car—just think how ironic that is!”
Then, he pointed at Evelyn and angrily rebuked her,
“That woman who’s a liar, the moment she sat in that Dodge Challenger,”
“She had a fawning smile on her face, looking incredibly happy.”
“She even begged me several times to take her drifting.”
“I’ve never seen her criticize that car for being environmentally unfriendly!”
“But today, she’s even attacking a Tesla owner,”
“Standing on the high ground of environmental protection and spouting nonsense.”
“She’s utter trash, the epitome of a scumbag!”
This time, not only was Evelyn’s expression gloomy,
But the team leader’s expression also became extremely ugly, wishing he could kill Park Soo-hyun to quell his anger.
As the leader of this small team, he usually kept a low profile.
When organizing protests, he generally didn’t take the lead himself,
But instead, encouraged radicals like Evelyn, who were eager to climb the ranks,
To be at the forefront and even create sensational moments with extreme behavior.
He, on the other hand, would disguise himself as an inconspicuous rookie on the team, quietly controlling the pace of the event.
Because of this strategy, few outsiders knew his true identity,
Let alone his actual position in the organization.
Therefore, he wasn’t worried about being exposed when he made money and bought expensive, high-displacement muscle cars.
But he never expected that there would be a traitor among his own men.
This Park Soo-hyun, like a mad dog, had actually exposed him.
The most terrifying thing was that Park Soo-hyun had revealed their organization’s profit model,
Which was tantamount to completely exposing everyone’s true colors.
Once this reached Sweden, the Swedish authorities would definitely investigate the whole story,
And the fact that their organization accepted benefits from various interest groups,
And had been reselling second-hand clothing to Africa for a long time, it would be impossible to hide.
Nervous, his first thought was to stop the matter from gaining further attention.
With so many people watching and recording it on so many phones,
The longer it dragged on, the worse the impact would be.
The best solution was to stop the roadblock demonstration immediately and let these people leave.
These were passengers rushing to catch their flights.
Their presence as bystanders was entirely their own doing, blocking their way.
So, as soon as the roadblock stopped, they would definitely hurry to get on their vehicles and leave!
Therefore, he immediately shouted to the members still sitting on the ground,
Looking bewildered, “Make way! Let them leave!”
Several quick-thinking members had already gotten up and run to the side of the road,
While some silly little ones remained sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking around blankly.
The team leader panicked, rushing towards the group and kicking and yelling,
“I told you to get out of the way! Don’t you understand?! Get out of here!”
Then he shouted to the onlookers, “Gentlemen, there’s a traitor in our team who’s deliberately trying to smear us.”
“On behalf of the team, I reserve the right to pursue legal action against him.”
“But I also urge you to be discerning and not believe his one-sided story!”
“If you maliciously spread unverified and irresponsible rumors online,”
“We also have the right to pursue legal action against you!”
Although the team leader’s character was questionable, he understood the core elements of crisis management.
Whether it’s a government, a company, or an individual worldwide, when facing a crisis, there are only two steps.
The first step is to determine whether you are right or wrong.
If you are right, then do everything possible to prove yourself to the public,
No matter how difficult the process may be.
If you are wrong, then never be stubborn; always remember the eight-character mantra of Eastern philosophy:
“Turn big problems into small ones, and small problems into nothing.”
This simple principle is something many Fortune 500 companies, and even many countries, fail to truly understand.
Some companies and even countries, knowing they’ve made a mistake, stubbornly persist, even investing enormous human, material, and financial resources to cover up and justify their errors.
This only drags them into a public relations abyss,
With ever-increasing costs and diminishing returns, it has even led to a rapid collapse of their reputation.
However, if they simply reflect sincerely, apologize, and resolve the problem immediately after making a mistake, the losses can be controlled and minimized.
The principle of “turning big problems into small ones, and small problems into nothing” truly embodies the wisdom of ancient Eastern wisdom:
It’s crucial to control the situation and prevent it from escalating.
A small incident will eventually be reduced to nothing or become negligible.
But if an incident escalates, the negative consequences will have no upper limit, potentially leading to the collapse of an entire organization.
Just like when a certain brand of refrigerators cut costs on the door closer and was complained about by consumers,
If they had just admitted their mistake and made positive corrections immediately,
They could have solved the problem at a very low cost and gained positive reviews for their proactive attitude.
However, they used the most foolish way of handling it, which ultimately led to the collapse of their brand image and their near disappearance from the market.
The head of this environmental team knew perfectly well that he was in the wrong.
In this situation, the best course of action wasn’t to argue and escalate the situation,
But to quickly disperse the crowd and reduce the impact.
And this tactic worked.
Many onlookers, while enjoying the infighting, understood that this was a closed road to the airport,
And many were in a hurry to catch their flights, especially the elderly woman who had been rushing back to China.
Seeing the crowd clearing the way, she quickly returned to her taxi and begged the driver to take her to the airport immediately.
So, the first car drove off, followed by the second and third.
The previously congested road began to loosen.
Some less urgent people, though still wanting to observe, couldn’t bear the thought of their cars still parked,
And their level of civility far surpassed that of these extreme environmentalists.
So, they suppressed their urge to watch and quickly got back into their cars and drove away.
Soon, Charlie started the car and drove everyone out of the traffic jam.
Helena said indignantly in the car, “I wonder how this will end.”
“If Sweden doesn’t hold them accountable and doesn’t conduct a thorough investigation, they might get away with it.”
Charlie smiled and said, “If you want them to pay the price legally,”
“I think you can talk to the police and, as the Queen, suggest that they take these people back for investigation before they leave the country.”
“Demand that the police not just go through the motions, but record their complete statements.”
“Then, synchronize this matter from the official level to the Swedish official level.”
“That way, Sweden will definitely take it seriously.”
“If the media gives it a little push, this could be the beginning of tearing off the hypocritical mask of extreme environmental organizations,”
“And the whole of Europe could benefit from it in the future.”
Charlie continued, “Based on what I’ve seen today,”
“I feel that the European people have suffered under these scoundrels for too long.”
“Everyone is afraid to stand up and protest because they’re afraid of following in J.K. Rowling’s footsteps.”
“But this time is different. This time, they’ve already exposed a corner of their crimes.”
“If you can stand firm, stand on the moral high ground, follow the clues, and expose their true colors,”
“You will definitely become a hero in the eyes of the European people.”
The breeding ground for extreme environmentalism is basically only in European countries.
This is because EU countries are relatively developed economies, mostly established capitalist countries, and the long-standing left-leaning ideology of their societies has given these clowns the audacity to act with impunity.
In less developed countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, or even in the Third World,
If these people dared to use extreme methods to advocate for environmental protection, the local population would simply slap them out of the country with a hundred shovels, ensuring they could make a living.
While North America is also developed, its people are known for their fierce nature.
In a country where guns outnumber people, how could they possibly have the chance to bully others?
Before they could even get their pants off, a burst of bullets would be inside them.
Eastern Europe is even less of a concern; even if you paid them, they would never dare set foot there.
That’s why they roam the EU, staging demonstrations in Northern Europe one day, marching in Central Europe the next, and occasionally vandalizing artwork in England and France, or even, out of sheer boredom, dyeing rivers with paint.
Normal people are actually quite disgusted by them, but just like with LGBT people, they dare not speak out.
Occasionally, someone with a sense of justice speaks out, only to be attacked by a mob,
They were publicly humiliated and ridiculed by the actresses they themselves helped make famous.
People yearn for a true hero to step forward and resolve this issue once and for all, but such a person has yet to appear.
And today, with this incident happening and this farce as a prelude, it’s absolutely the perfect opportunity for Helena to stand up!
