Chapter 1055: Issuing an Apology Statement

The next day, at Mainland Group.

As soon as Lu Jihan arrived at the company, he received a report saying that some bad news had just appeared online.

"Mr. Lu, someone has already leaked out the news about the non-compliant construction materials, and the headline is particularly glaring."

"Let me see."

Lu Jihan took the tablet from Shen Kang’s hand and looked down at it—

"Mainland Group embroiled in another scandal, suspected of using substandard materials in a project, CEO Lu Jihan is the culprit..."

His thick eyebrows knitted together tightly.

With a heavy expression, Shen Kang said, "This article hasn’t been out for long, but it’s already been reported by major media outlets, and it’s trending on the hot search... Mr. Lu, it was my oversight, I can’t escape the blame."

Slightly narrowing his sharp eyes, Lu Jihan said solemnly, "Shen Kang, what are your thoughts?"

"This information was only known internally within our company, so it’s definitely someone from inside who leaked it. Therefore, there must be a mole!"

Lu Jihan nodded slightly, not expressing agreement or disagreement.

"Mr. Lu, I think the immediate priority is to catch this mole; otherwise, they will become a hidden threat within our company!"

"Hmm."

Lu Jihan nodded slightly, "You’re right, but to root out this mole, we’ll need to use some strategy. Shen Kang, first arrange a venue and invite the media for a press conference to set the record straight."

Shen Kang was stunned, "Mr. Lu, you want to hold a press conference?"

A press conference at this time?

However, Lu Jihan said candidly, "In any case, this incident is indeed a mistake on Mainland Group’s part. We must admit our mistake and bear the consequences. Avoidance will not help, and it’s not my way of handling things."

"Understood."

Receiving the orders, Shen Kang left the office.

He worked efficiently, and two hours later, a press conference was held in the conference room on the ninth floor of Mainland Building.

Lu Jihan personally attended and issued an apology statement to the media.

"On behalf of Mainland Group, I apologize to everyone. The project we are cooperating with a Hong Kong governmental department did indeed encounter a mistake that allowed a batch of substandard materials into the construction, posing a potential risk to the project. As a company with a customer-first philosophy, we deeply regret this."

After speaking seriously, he stood straight and bowed at a 90-degree angle respectfully.

Seeing this, Shen Kang quickly followed suit.

The reporters all raised their cameras, capturing this moment.

After standing up, Lu Jihan continued without arrogance or haste:

"Next, I would like to tell everyone what actions we have taken following this incident."

"First, we immediately notified the project partners, a certain governmental department in Hong Kong, via text and phone."

"Secondly, we promptly utilized our logistics system to intercept and recall that batch of materials, controlling the materials issue in the other projects within four hours."

Upon hearing this, the reporters below showed approving expressions.

"Subsequently, we actively contacted the governmental department to discuss compensation plans to minimize their losses."

"So far, we have received approval and forgiveness from the governmental department. Within 24 hours of the incident, we have completed the centralized emergency response for this event."

"Of course, regarding this incident, we will continue to follow up, learn from our mistakes, and use this opportunity to establish unified safety norms and industry standards for the industry."

"Additionally, we sincerely appreciate the understanding and cooperation from our clients during this emergency. Here, I solemnly promise that this incident will be borne by Mainland Group, by me."

Throughout, there was no trace of panic on Lu Jihan’s face.
