Chapter 341 – The drama stirred up by Su Teng continued to escalate. (2)
Su Teng was infuriated.
Lo and behold, the public opinion was not on his side so he wasn’t able to call out Jiang WenYu.
He placed all the blame on Fang JunRong. Had she not meddled and instigated, he could have stayed out of all this. Now, everybody at the company pointed fingers at him. Irritated, he decided to hide in one of his mansions and spent his days browsing the internet.
When he saw Fang JunRong’s video, he felt that his opportunity for revenge had come. He quickly had someone purchase the right to repost and hired people to look into the details locally.
That was when he found out that Fang JunRong had plans to build a factory there and Dingyang, a local village, suffered a landslide. Even though the villagers were able to evacuate on time and there were no casualties, the damages were costly.
A few families lost their homes and many of the farmer’s lychee trees were destroyed.
Looking at the video and thinking about the news that he had heard, his smile deepened.
He made a call and ordered, “Hurry up and donate 5 million yuan in my name.”
His heart was bleeding when he said 5 million yuan but it was the necessary devil for his plan to work.
“Use the money to help out those from Dingyang Village.
“Bribe a few major internet influencers and have themtalk me up while stepping on Fang JunRong. Just say that she is so rich, and witnessed the disaster first-hand yet all she cares about is how to make more money instead of helping out the locals. And she calls herself a conscientious entrepreneur? And have them repost that video a few times.”
That ought to make him look good. This time, it would be the Su family gaining fame from stepping on Fang JunRong.
Even if Fang JunRong was to donate money later on, she would just be a copycat anyway. She would not measure up to him.
He could already see Fang JunRong’s future and the thought of it alone made him so happy that he could drink another three rounds.

Fang JunRong had risen too quickly. Her existence had, inevitably, cut into others’ portion of the cake.
Nevertheless, the entire time, she had the fondness of the public and also had a few individuals standing behind her. As such, most who wanted to antagonize her would have second thoughts. After seeing that all those who had tried to set her up in the past ended poorly, anyone else with such thoughts would be more cautious before they act.
Now that Su Teng had made his move, these individuals were like sharks that had smelled blood. They were acutely aware that an opportunity had presented itself and decided to help Su Teng along. If it worked out and Fang JunRong suffered a setback, great.
Otherwise, Su Teng would be the one who suffered the consequences as the instigator. In any case, they would be safe from where they stood.
These people had it all planned out.
With all of their help, Su Teng’s team that could only originally achieve 30%, achieved 80% completion.
As such, the netizens found quite a few articles about Fang JunRong on Weibo’s most trending list overnight.
The two titled “Knee to Fang JunRong” and “Fang JunRong donated nothing” grabbed everyone’s attention. They couldn’t help but follow the links. They saw the video of the villagers kneeling down to Fang JunRong and the other one stating that the villagers of Dingyang Village suffered heavy losses from a landslide. Fang JunRong happened to be nearby when the disaster occurred.
She seemed to have gone to survey the location of the factory and witnessed the disaster. There was no need to say any more. The netizens could just fill all the rest in on their own. Perhaps the villagers were on their knees begging Fang JunRong for help.
Those from the for-profit accounts said in an unnecessarily worried tone, “Sure, it is up to an individual to decide on how much to donate but, as a role model entrepreneur, one should spring to action in light of natural disasters. Just look at Boss Su Teng of Su’s Pharmaceutical. Even though the company hadn’t been doing well for the last couple of years, he still took out 5 million yuan to help the local villagers through their hardships. We need more like Boss Su in our society.”
