Chapter 2218
Chandler''s expression shifted subtly, his voice taking on a deeper tone. "It''s not just about the facts
anymore; it''s about public perception! If you step onto that stage now, how many of those reporters
outside are here for the productunch, and how many are here for your personal scandals? Are we
hosting a productunch or a press conference for your personal affairs?" "Uncle, the tickets for the
launch were sold out over half a month ago. Are you suggesting that all these guests have irvoyant
abilities and bought tickets just to interrogate me?"
Keegan chuckled, "Uncle, people aren''t that bored, and l‘m not that important. Anyone can give this
presentation, but I indeed don''t have a script. The performance metrics, research process, technical
breakthroughs," he extended his slender hand, lightly tapping his temple with his index finger, "are all
here. I can recount them all for you. I''m just afraid that, being older, you might forget on stage and end
up making a fool of yourself." "You-you''re utterly disrespectful!" Chandler''s voice dripped with raw
disdain, his face turning purple with anger.
Keegan stood up and approached Chandler step by step. The image of the teenager he once was,
always overshadowed by his aplished elder brother, slowly ovepped with the Keegan standing
before him. With sharper features and a taller stature, Keegan exuded dominance.
Stopping thirty centimeters away from Chandler, Keegan looked up at him." Uncle, I don''t need to
emphasize the importance of thisunch, do I?
Manage your people well." After a pause, he added, "Uncle, just because someone dies doesn''t mean
there isn''t evidence."

Chandler''s pupils contracted as he clenched his trembling hand, staring coldly at Keegan. "I don''t know
what you''re talking about."
Keegan smirked and chuckled lightly. "That''s why I said you''re not suitable for the stage. You should
acknowledge the fact that you are old and have poor memory."
Before Chandler could reply, someone called him for the pre-meeting interview. Keegan responded
with a grunt and turned to leave, leaving Chandler visibly enraged.
A director who was friendly with Chandler chimed in, "Keegan''s behavior is outrageous. Isn''t he
tarnishing thepany''s reputation?"
Mr. Jacobson, siding with Keegan, interjected, "Mr. Johnstone, your PR department hasn''t addressed
Mr. Kane''s character. You seemed confident in Mr. Kane''s character, but now that the situation has
come to light, are you afraid these news stories will affect thepany?"
Mr. Johnstone replied, "Our PR department handles crises rted to brand image. This is a private
matter for the Kane family. We can’t handle that, can we?"
Mr. Jacobson nced at him. "So you think the Kane family''s private matters won''t affect the brand
image?"
Mr. Johnstone frowned. "It will definitely have an impact." "Then why aren''t you implementing crisis
PR?"
Mr. Johnstone was caught off guard and felt embarrassed. "At a time like this, Mr. Jacobson, why are
you still ying guessing games with me?"
Mr. Jacobson replied casually, "Just stating the facts. Let me remind everyone, the Vinci Rivera Group
is no longer a family business. When one thrives, all thrive; when one falls, all fall. Think carefully about
it." With that, he turned to ept the interview.
The directors on the scene exchanged nces but remained silent.
During Quentin Kane''s tenure, the Vinci Rivera Group underwent its first reform. At that time, they
needed talent and research and development, but funds were insufficient. Quentin distributed some of
his shares, using some as coteral for loans and the rest to retain high-end talent. Each cutting-edge
R&D expert received a small share of the Vinci Rivera Group''s stocks, along with regr sries and
year-end bonuses.
