Even though Patrick was handling the company’s affairs, he wasn’t dealing with the detailed matters. His role was merely to sign off on decisions.
There were some internal matters in the company that required his approval.
Now, Jane would provide detailed reports for Patrick’s confirmation, essentially acting as his remote controller.
Jane had efficiently managed both her own company and Patrick’s company, ensuring stability in the minds of all employees.
Everyone could focus on their own tasks, which was different from when Jane had just started helping Patrick manage the company.
Now, everyone understood that the system of management was designed to gain their recognition and compliance. If anyone violated the system, there was no need to find other excuses.
Jane had previously held a press conference to announce her role in both companies. As a result, many media outlets were now reporting on the overall situation.
Outside, rumors and gossip were circulating, and Jane put the PR department in charge of handling them.
This new PR department was different from the previous one, which had been ineffective.
Jane assigned them tasks, and they performed exceptionally well. They completely controlled the rhythm of online public opinion.
The voices of those rumors and gossip grew increasingly scarce, replaced by more positive and constructive comments online.
“Who could have imagined that Jane would swoop in like a hero from the sky and save the fate of two companies, effortlessly resolving what everyone thought was an extremely difficult situation?”
“I also believe that the previous rumors were all untrue, and the current news represents the true situation.”
Two shareholders sat together and chatted, believing that Jane had brought the companies to a prosperous situation.
They also had the confidence to buy more stocks, hoping to make a fortune.
They had also noticed the shift in online sentiment, which was gradually leaning towards Jane.
Everyone recognized Jane’s abilities and felt both amazed and envious of her.
In major forums where news about Patrick was discussed, all the hired commentators were in sync.
“Patrick and Jane are working together to govern the company, and now the company is in a great state. Everything has returned to normal.”
“We wish the merger of the two companies success and look forward to the synergistic effects. It’s definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two!”
As Jane sat in her office, reading the comments from these online users, she felt a surge of excitement in her heart.
After all, accomplishing such a significant feat by oneself would naturally bring excitement and joy.
This was not just about organizing and managing the company internally but also about quelling the crisis-like reports online.
If these situations persisted, the consequences would be dire.
For Jane, she had to juggle both aspects and see tangible results.
Now, she called the manager of the PR department to her office.
“Keep a close eye on the voices of these online users and also pay attention to the media. We absolutely cannot make any more mistakes this time.”
“Currently, you’re doing well, but you need to keep up the good work. If there are any deviations, I want to know about them immediately.”
The manager of the PR department nodded and informed Jane that they were now cooperating with several media outlets and websites.
The main focus of the collaboration was on the company’s publicity and promotion, as well as the dissemination of the truth on the internet.
Of course, this collaboration involved both verbal agreements and business partnerships, and all these matters had been reported to Jane.
“As long as they can guide public opinion correctly, it’s a win-win situation for our company if we entrust a portion of our advertising to these websites!”
“I’ve seen the effects of the publicity in the past few days, and it’s quite satisfactory. We can continue to work with them and sign formal contracts after the trial period.”
Jane and these websites collaborated in bulk, running numerous advertisements for the company’s promotions and services.
Every website and media outlet that accepted Jane’s advertisements knew how to protect their own interests.
That meant firmly standing by Jane’s side and dispelling any rumors or negative reports about her.
While Jane was discussing these matters with the manager of the PR department, she received a phone call.
After hanging up, Jane turned to the manager and said, “Mike has woken up. We don’t know if other media outlets have noticed this yet. You need to further observe.”
Jane knew that Mike waking up was a big deal, and it was likely to attract attention. It was unavoidable that some journalists might discover that Mike had regained consciousness.
Jane didn’t want to see any deviations in the media’s reporting like before, so she reminded the PR manager in advance.
After the manager nodded, Jane added some additional instructions before letting him leave.
Now, Patrick had arrived at the company and joined Jane. The two of them rushed to the hospital together.
“Right now, we should avoid stimulating Mike. I suggest you don’t say anything when you see him. Let him recover first.”
“If there are significant emotional fluctuations at this stage, it won’t be conducive to his recovery and may even cause him more trouble.”
Jane shared her thoughts, and Patrick nodded. He didn’t have any better ideas at the moment, but he understood that Jane’s reasoning made sense.
It was well-known that any stimulation to a patient would worsen their condition.
And now that Mike had just woken up, everyone knew the potential consequences of aggravating his condition.
So how could Patrick make such a choice?
“Don’t worry, I know what to say and what not to say. I won’t do anything to stimulate Mike.”
“Right now, I just want Mike to get better. We’ll deal with the future when the time comes. I understand that’s how you feel too.”
Jane nodded, and the two of them visited Mike in the hospital. Patrick didn’t say anything unnecessary; he simply comforted Mike, urging him to rest well.
Patrick didn’t even ask about anything else. He only made guesses based on Mike’s expressions in his own heart.
Patrick had many doubts, and as he listened to Mike’s fragmented words, he knew that some things might be different from what he had imagined.
