The company's security personnel and representatives from the public relations and legal departments huddled in the CEO office of Shi Corporation.
"Sir, people, and representatives from various local organizations were picketing outside our company. Some media were covering the event as well. They were criticizing the way we handle business and how it affects the environment. Those rallyists had taken from the grave the buried incident of the oil spill in the South from years back, equipped with statistics of death in the affected island over the years from its aftermath. What should we do, Sir?"
"What else? Dispel the crowd. Utilize our security teams wisely."
"But if we turn them away, some would fight back and our security will have to use force. It will certainly be ugly. With media coverage, it wouldn't be beneficial to us at all. That's even more negative press."
