---- Chapter 90: The Crisis Continues In the end, it was Wyatt who took control and chaired the meeting. Like the old saying goes-age and experience always win in the end. Thanks to Wyatt's iron grip on the room, the emergency meeting dragged on until eight that night. After hours of back-and-forth, the executives finally hammered out a five-part crisis response plan: First: Upload all of Wilson Enterprise's past safety inspection reports and certifications to the official website. (Handled by the Secretariat.) Second: Hire a celebrity spokesperson.
Someone way more famous than the influencer trashing them online. Also, pay for a wave of positive coverage to drown out the bad press. (Handled by PR.) Third: Reach out to longtime customers under the pretense of celebrating the company's tenth anniversary. All products would be 20% off for the month. And no one was allowed to leave the office before 10 PM. (Handled by Sales.) Fourth: Hunt down the worst offenders spreading lies ---- online. At least ten of them had to be made examples of with cease-and-desist letters.
(Handled by Legal.) Fifth: Wyatt would personally contact that beauty influencer to try and negotiate a truce-and ideally get the video taken down. (Handled by Wyatt himself.) Finally, something Linsey could shine at! She'd always been a foodie and a social butterfly, and the idea of working with celebrities and shopping for influencers totally fit her vibe. She had plenty of industry contacts, so she eagerly volunteered to handle the celebrity endorsement campaign. Wyatt actually cracked a rare smile. For once, his daughter might actually be useful.

Meanwhile, Tristan and his team had already set up shop in Greystone. They moved into the empty floor right below Aaron's law firm. Aaron had bought that office space as an investment years ago. It had been leased out before, but after the last tenant left, it sat vacant. Now, it made a perfect temporary base for Edenfield Group. Farlier that day, Wilson Enterprise's stock had dropped 9% just before the market closed. Tristan had been ready to pounce. ---- But Aaron told him not to rush.
Even if Wilson Enterprise managed some PR miracle that night, the effects wouldn't kick in until the following afternoon at the earliest. So they decided to wait until the morning before making their next move. Back at Wilson Enterprise HQ, Wyatt and the core leadership team pulled an all-nighter, sitting tight for progress reports. Task one went off without a hitch. All the certifications were already on file, so uploading them was easy. But the second they went live, the internet pounced. "Look at these clowns trying to save face.
Too late!" "Wow, the only thing they're good at is covering their asses." "I don't believe those documents are legit." "Exactly! You're the only one making sense here. Upvoted!" "Shut down already! Stop selling poison!" "How shameless can one company be?" "Everyone, boycott Wilson Enterprise! Food safety affects us all!" ---- "They should be banned from supplying food to kindergartens and elementary schools. Don't poison our kids!" "Where are the regulators? We want a real investigation!" The backlash was brutal. Reluctantly, Wyatt ordered the Secretariat to disable comments altogether.
The Sales Department soon reported in as well. It was nearly impossible to contact clients after 10 PM. In two hours, they'd only locked in three tiny orders: two from nursing homes and one from a small factory-only placed because of the steep discount. But the phones? Nonstop. Refund requests and complaints flooded in like a tidal wave. As for Wyatt's attempt to reach the beauty influencer? Total bust. Her assistant said she wasn't feeling well and needed rest. Take down the video? Dream on. It had already gone mega-viral, brought in tons of new followers, and skyrocketed engagement.
Why would she delete it now? Linsey wasn't having any luck either. Every major celebrity had a full schedule. And even if
