This director Zhou really felt that he had got home from the hell.
The public relations department has always been a calm department. As the director of the public relations department, he lives a leisurely life. Before coming to the president's office, he was planning the organization activities of the public relations department and going abroad at public expense in the second half of the year. But judging from the current situation, let alone activities Well, the days to come, I'm afraid it won't be too easy.
The public relations department has always dealt with negative news that is unfavorable to the Lu Corporation. Director Zhou didn't take the little gossip and gossips seriously at all. He claims that we are a big group and a big company, and we can't be bothered with those small things in the gutter. People care about it, but how could they know that the position he earned so hard as Director Zhou almost fell into the hands of these villains.
It's true that small fights won't make a big difference, but I can't stand the accumulation of time and time, the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest, and the image of Lu Beichuan outside now doesn't look like it will collapse.
Director Zhou is also an expert, and he understands the routines of online marketing. All the scandals are related to this woman, Shen Weiyin. How could it be possible that she didn't intervene in this, maybe she was the one who launched this incident.
There are a few people in the entertainment industry who look so innocent, and none of them are simple.
But Shen Weiyin is from the Shen family, who doesn't know this, and who dares to touch the bad luck of the Shen family.
What's more, now that Shen Weiyin is a popular female star in the entertainment industry, she endorsed that perfume brand. To put it bluntly, her company still made money.
So Director Zhou never felt that there was anything wrong with the endorsement.
But what Mr. Lu said now means that he wants to terminate the contract with Shen Weiyin regardless of the friendship between the Lu and Chen families for many years
Director Zhou is deeply annoyed by his greed for small profits in the past.
"Mr. Lu, I think you should reconsider this matter?"
"Deliberate?"
Director Zhou bit the bullet, "From my professional point of view, it is beneficial and harmless for Ms. Shen's current fame and status to endorse our product. We have also made statistics on the sales of our products in recent years. In Shen Over the years that Ms. Shen has endorsed, the sales and reputation of the company's perfume brand have greatly improved. From the perspective of profit, Ms. Shen can continue to endorse this product is the best candidate, and we can't find a more suitable candidate than Ms. Shen. "
Lu Beichuan coldly looked at his "powerful man" Director Zhou, and did not speak.
Obviously, this Director Zhou is not very good at reading people's eyes. Seeing that Lu Beichuan didn't speak, he mistakenly thought that he agreed with his point of view, and continued to speak triumphantly, "Mr. Lu, look, Miss Shen came to the company at two o'clock in the afternoon, you Do you want to talk to Ms. Shen in person?" He pushed his glasses, "If the contract is cancelled, the company will be greatly reduced in terms of sales and popularity, which will not do us any good. In this matter, I hope You can think carefully."
"You mean, in the entire entertainment industry, apart from Shen Weiyin, you can't find anyone who can endorse your products?"
Director Zhou nodded, "The new product will be released soon, and the negotiation of the contract cannot be done overnight. It takes time to select a new spokesperson, and even more time is needed to negotiate and sign the contract. This is really difficult."
Lu Beichuan put down his pen, looked at Director Zhou, narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of danger oozing out.
He works swiftly, so he naturally doesn't like his subordinates who are slow-moving.
"Shen Weiyin's endorsement will expire next month, that is to say, within more than a month, you can't find a spokesperson who can replace Shen Weiyin?"
Director Zhou finally understood the implication of these words, and broke out in a cold sweat because of what he said before.
There is nothing you can't do in the workplace, if you can't do it, someone else can. If others can do what you can't, then you have to abdicate from your position.
The meaning of Lu Beichuan's words is very clear. If he dares to say "I can't find it" now and walk out of this office, he will no longer be the director of the public relations department.
Director Zhou squeezed a cold sweat and considered his words, "This... I will try my best to do it well."
Ye Zhen sat on the sofa and listened to Director Zhou's speech, feeling very funny.
The boss even said that the director of a small public relations department is still here to give advice. He is either stupid or greedy. It is definitely not stupid to be the director, so it can only be greedy.
She lazily said: "Mr. Lu, since the director of your public relations department can't handle this matter within a month, don't make things difficult for him. I'll come."
Lu Beichuan looked at her suspiciously, "Are you coming?"
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and asked, "Don't believe me?"
Seeing Ye Zhen's confident expression, Lu Beichuan laughed softly, "Believe me."
Director Zhou's back was sweating even more fiercely. Feeling deeply that his position as director was not guaranteed, he asked tremblingly, "Then... at two o'clock in the afternoon, Ms. Shen said that she would discuss the contract with you face to face..."
Lu Beichuan angrily scolded: "The replacement of a product spokesperson also requires me to come forward in person? What do I support your PR department for?"
Director Zhou nodded again and again, "Okay, I will handle it well."
After Director Zhou left, the office returned to calm. Lu Beichuan looked at Ye Zhen, who was idly reading a magazine and drinking a drink, and asked doubtfully, "The endorsement you just mentioned, is there anyone?"
Ye Zhen nodded, "Of course."
"Tell me, who is it?"
Ye Zhen smiled slightly, keeping it mysterious, "This needs to be kept secret, but you can rest assured that this person is no lower than Shen Weiyin, and within a month, the contract can definitely be negotiated."
"When you say that, I'm even more curious."
"Let's put this curious matter aside, Mr. Lu. At two o'clock in the afternoon, Miss Shen will come to you in person to discuss the renewal of the contract. I heard that the Shen and Lu families are family friends. Is it really okay if you don't come forward?"
Lu Beichuan didn't think there was anything wrong, and looked at the little wife in front of him who was racking her brains to say something, and laughed, "The family friends of Lu and Chen are actually from the grandfather's generation. Later, the relationship between the two families became less and less natural. It fades away, Shen Weiyin and I met a lot before the age of seven, but after the age of seven, we rarely met. We were in different classes at the same level in high school, and in different majors at the same university, so we rarely met. Don't believe it."
"So, you mean to say that you are not familiar with Shen Weiyin?"
"Unfamiliar." Lu Beichuan looked at her burningly, with a faint smile, "Do you mind?"
Ye Zhen smiled dryly to hide her guilty conscience, "We are husband and wife, all problems that are not conducive to the harmonious relationship between husband and wife must be resolved, let alone... I just ask casually."
"Ask casually?" Lu Beichuan stared at Ye Zhen's side face until Ye Zhen's cheeks were flushed, feeling extremely guilty.
"Don't you think some high-level positions in your company are inappropriate?" Ye Zhen coughed, changed the subject, and called names, "For example, Director Zhou just now."
When Director Zhou was mentioned, Lu Beichuan also turned cold.
There are thirty-three floors in one building of the company, and there are so many departments, businesses, and personnel that he cannot cover everything.
Obviously, what Director Zhou said just now has exceeded his professional scope.
"I'll take care of this matter." Looking at Ye Zhen's eager expression, he said with a helpless smile, "You won't tell me that you have a candidate for my PR director, right?"
Ye Zhen was taken aback, stood up from the sofa, and walked to the desk, "Mr. Lu, we really understand each other. We are indeed husband and wife who sleep on the same bed. You know what I'm thinking."
"who?"
"Her name is Qin Zhiyin, and she is a depressed public relations manager of Yidu Media." Ye Zhen looked at him with bright and moving eyes full of expectation, "Mr. Lu, the kindness of knowing you is unforgettable."
"Different Media? What kind of company is this?"
Ye Zhen thought about it, but didn't remember much about the company, so she said nonsense, "It seems to be a company that is about to go bankrupt."
"Like?" The tone was full of doubts about Ye Zhen.
"Mr. Lu, I know you don't trust me. So, you poach her and let her start as a manager. If you think she doesn't have the ability to be a director, then leave her alone. How about that? "
Lu Beichuan also didn't want Ye Zhen to be too disappointed, it's no big deal to poach someone.
"Okay, first do as you said, I'll send someone to contact her."
Ye Zhen nodded in satisfaction, but sighed inwardly.
She was really sorry for Lin Zhan. First she poached Lin Zhan's capable subordinates and then his public relations director. The embryonic form of Lin Zhan's business empire was all in Lu Beichuan.
But now he has already parted ways with Ye Qing, and has already run counter to the plot in the novel. If this person doesn't dig, it should... be fine, right
"Okay, I will give you an explanation about the scandal as soon as possible. You go to the lounge to rest for a while. After a while, I will finish my work and send you home."
"You're done and I'm not done yet, don't worry!"
Lu Beichuan frowned slightly, "What's the matter with you?"
Ye Zhen smiled slightly, "You will know later."
***
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Weiyin, accompanied by her manager and assistants, came down to the Lu's Building, and went straight from the underground parking lot to the public relations department on the 18th floor in a low-key manner.
After informing the front desk that she had an appointment with the director of public relations, the little girl at the front desk brought him to the conference room.
As soon as the door of the conference room was closed, Shen Weiyin took off the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose and put them aside.
"Weiyin, what on earth are you thinking?" The agent who brought her is a veteran agent in the entertainment industry, and she has been in the industry for several years. Shen Weiyin's current coffee position is enough to endorse the international first-line perfume brand, why should she continue to endorse this perfume under Lu's, it will not benefit Shen Weiyin's reputation at all.
Shen Weiyin smiled, "Sister Xi, the Shen family and the Lu family are family friends, so what does brand awareness matter?"
"Okay," Xi Wenjun's tone was flirtatious, and he didn't care at all, "but you can leave the negotiation of the contract to me. What are you doing here?"
Shen Weiyin smiled slightly, "I have my own plans."
Xi Wenjun was very upset.
Shen Weiyin has background, status, looks, and talent, and she can behave well under her command. After so many years, Shen Weiyin has skyrocketed, and she doesn't need to worry about resources and awards. Xi Wenjun understands that he has found a treasure.
But in the past two years, Shen Weiyin's behavior has become more and more incomprehensible to her.
For example, the rumors about her and Lu Beichuan's relationship on the Internet, no matter what happened in the past, it is a fact that Lu Beichuan is married now, and it is not good for Shen Weiyin's reputation to continue to spread such scandals.
She lowered her voice, "Wei Yin, tell me honestly, you came here in person, did you just want to meet Lu Beichuan?"
The corner of Shen Weiyin's mouth hooked into a smile, but she didn't speak.
Not just to meet Lu Beichuan, she also arranged for paparazzi downstairs in the company. Whether she can see Lu Beichuan today or not, tomorrow she will come to Lu's to discuss the contract in person as the scandal expands.
It's just a small contract, she doesn't care, what she cares about is always Lu Beichuan.
Xi Wenjun has been with Shen Weiyin for so many years, why doesn't she know what she is thinking, seeing Shen Weiyin's silence, I understand that this is her acquiescence.
On the surface, she is Shen Weiyin's manager, but in fact, whether it is the script of the movie or the endorsement, Shen Weiyin is the one who makes the final decision. This woman is very clear about her goals, and she never procrastinates. Of course, she will do whatever she can.
The door of the conference room was pushed open, Director Zhou walked in with a face full of anxiety, closed the door and looked at Shen Weiyin, frowning.
"Director Zhou, long time no see." Shen Weiyin noticed his expression, but still stretched out her hand to him calmly.
Director Zhou reached out to shake hands politely, sat opposite Shen Weiyin, pretended to display the contract, lowered his voice, and said, "Miss Shen, I'm very sorry, I was informed by President Lu that I'm here to communicate with you about the termination of the contract today." matter."
"Terminate the contract?"
Director Zhou bit the bullet, "That's right."
Xi Wenjun sneered on the side, "Solve it? You Mr. Shen don't know, don't you know? You should be clear about who benefits from our Weiyin's endorsement of your brand. If this brand is not carried by our Weiyin, it will be where it is today How? Crossing the river and demolishing bridges? Is this how the Lu family does business?"
Director Zhou looked embarrassed, "This... I'm really sorry, I'm just the director of the public relations department, and I can't change President Lu's decision."
Shen Weiyin looked at him deeply, and compared a number on the table with her hands, "Director Zhou, I want to talk to President Lu face to face."
That's a tempting number.
If this figure was in the past, Director Zhou would have lost his head, but after the conversation at noon, how could he dare to make such a deal with the woman in front of him.
"Miss Shen, I really can't do anything about this matter." He considered his words and said in a low voice, "Boss Lu was very angry when he found out about the gossip and rumors on the Internet, and ordered me to deal with it immediately. Also, at noon, Mr. Lu My wife is here too, I think Mrs. Lu probably told Mr. Lu about this matter."
"Mrs. Lu?" Shen Weiyin frowned, "Ye Zhen is here?"
"Yes, I heard that today I brought my children to the company to deliver lunch to Mr. Lu. It was fine in the morning. As soon as Mrs. Lu came, Mr. Lu said that he would investigate this matter. This matter should be Mrs. Lu..."
"I see." Before Director Zhou could finish speaking, Shen Weiyin stood up, put on her sunglasses and made a gesture to leave, "Director Zhou, I'm sorry, I have no plans to terminate the contract today, so if your company wants to terminate the contract with me , we will make another appointment."
The manager and lawyer also got up following Shen Weiyin.
The door of the conference room was opened suddenly, Ye Zhen stood outside the door of the conference room, looking at her with a smile.
"Miss Shen is here, what a coincidence."
Shen Weiyin stood still, looking at Ye Zhen who walked slowly outside the meeting room, "Mrs. Lu, what can I do?"
"It's nothing." Ye Zhen smiled slightly, walked in and sat on the main seat of the meeting room, the door was not closed, the office area outside the meeting room and the crowd walking around could completely hear their voices talking inside.
Director Zhou wanted to close the door, but Ye Zhen stopped him, "Director Zhou, aren't you talking about the termination of the contract? Continue."
"This... Mrs. Lu, we are talking here, are you here..."
Ye Zhen smiled, "I own 10% of your group's shares, so I can be regarded as a minority shareholder of your company, or a member of your company?"
"One hundred... ten percent?" Director Zhou knocked and looked forward.
"Ten percent?" Shen Weiyin couldn't believe it.
"Grandpa gave it to me." Ye Zhen casually took the 10% of the shares that Mr. Lu transferred to her on the wedding day, and continued: "You guys continue to talk, I will listen to it."
Shen Weiyin took a deep breath, her expression was not good, "Your company didn't inform you in advance that today is the contract termination, so I'm not prepared for the contract. If your company wants to terminate the contract with me, we'll make another appointment."
"Ms. Shen's lawyer is here. Is there anything else I need to prepare?"
The lawyer brought by Shen Weiyin remained calm and said with a slight smile, "Mrs. Lu, I need to go back and prepare properly for the termination of the contract."
"May I ask your name?"
"My surname is Nan."
Ye Zhen suddenly realized, and got up from her seat, "You are the famous lawyer Nan?"
Lawyer Nan smiled humbly, "I dare not do it."
"Lawyer Nan is humble. You are a celebrity in the industry. You have never failed in any of the cases you have handled. However," she looked at Shen Weiyin, "I understand that your employer has recently damaged its reputation a lot. With the rumors about it, how does Lawyer Nan think this matter should be resolved?"
"Gossip?"
Ye Zhen smiled and handed the phone to Lawyer Nan, it was full of gossip about Shen Weiyin and Lu Beichuan.
Lawyer Nan took a look, then turned to look at Shen Weiyin, "This..."
If Shen Weiyin still doesn't understand Ye Zhen's reason for coming, then her past few years in the entertainment industry will be in vain.
"Some out-of-the-box gossips are just rumors and blogs. I never mind. If you ignore them, they will only make them more complacent. Ms. Ye has never been in the entertainment industry, so she doesn't understand the right and wrong of the entertainment industry."
Ye Zhen nodded thoughtfully, "Miss Shen said that these are all gossips made out of nothing, that is to say, the childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts between you and my husband Lu Beichuan are all fake?"
The meeting room was crowded with people, Shen Weiyin said vaguely, "If Miss Ye wants to know, you can go back and ask your husband."
"I asked, and he said, there has never been a childhood sweetheart between him and you, so I asked Miss Shen if what my husband said was true."
This is a face-to-face confrontation.
Shen Weiyin said in a deep voice, "Yes, it's true."
"It seems that these tabloids really spread rumors. You and my husband are not childhood sweethearts. If that's the case, you and my husband have a deep relationship since childhood, because Miss Shen is determined to work hard in the entertainment circle, saying If you don't get the title of Best Actress, you won't let it go, Lu Beichuan is infatuated and won't change it, it's been a ten-year contract for many years, is this also fake?"
"Yes, it's fake. Mrs. Lu doesn't have to care about what's written on the tabloid forums."
"That is to say, when Ms. Shen's career improved and the title of movie queen was at her fingertips, she was cut off by the daughter of a nouveau riche," Ye Zhen pointed at herself, "It's also fake."
Shen Weiyin clenched her palms tightly, and her breathing gradually became heavy. In the public, she knew that all her denials just now would spread to everyone in a short time.
When the time comes, the rumors will be self-defeating, and all the efforts she has made during this period of time will be in vain!
"Yes, it's also fake."
Ye Zhen nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that Miss Shen is right. This little media person who talks nonsense and has no professional ethics has no limit, especially the person behind the plot. It is simply shameful and ridiculous. There is no moral at all! I know that Ms. Shen doesn't care about such rumors, but after all, it will damage Ms. Shen's image, and I also believe that since my husband is a married man, Ms. Shen should not be willing to bear the reputation of being a mistress It's still up to people to spread rumors, right?"
Shen Weiyin didn't speak.
"Well, the Lu family and the Shen family used to be family friends, and I think Ms. Shen and I are also destined, so I don't need Ms. Shen to clarify this matter in person. A man has his own responsibilities. My husband also said that he will If this matter is handled properly, if Ms. Shen suffers any loss of reputation in this matter, you can let Attorney Nan communicate with our company's lawyers, and Ms. Shen will never suffer the loss in vain."
The smile on Shen Weiyin's face was stiff, and she could hear the meaning of gnashing her teeth, "That's really special thanks to Mrs. Lu."
"This is what I should do, but Ms. Shen has to be more careful in the future, after all, villains are everywhere."
"Thank you Mrs. Lu for your advice, I will be careful," she looked at Ye Zhen coldly, without any warmth in her eyes, "So can I go?"
Ye Zhen stepped aside, "Miss Shen, walk slowly."
With a sullen face, Shen Weiyin strode towards the door of the conference room. There were countless people listening in twos and threes in the name of going to the toilet to make coffee. When they saw Shen Weiyin coming out, they all left with embarrassing smiles.
Ye Zhen looked at Director Zhou who didn't know what to do with herself, and said with a smile, "What does Director Zhou want to say to me?"
"… No."
"Then I trouble you to deal with the termination of the contract with Ms. Shen as soon as possible."
Director Zhou nodded awkwardly and left the meeting room.
Ye Zhen walked briskly, returned to the 33rd floor with a warm smile on her face, and handed the recorder in her pocket to Lu Beichuan, "Mr. Lu, it seems that you are not lying, you told Miss Shen Weiyin unanimous."
Lu Beichuan pinched the recording pen that was still slightly warm, and couldn't help asking: "How did you come up with so many ideas in your mind?"
Ye Zhen shrugged, "To deal with someone like Shen Weiyin, you have to be prepared for everything, and there should be no mistakes. That's enough, this matter with Shen Weiyin will stop here. I guess she won't dare to be a monster again in the future. Then I will Help you decide on candidates for your public relations director and spokesperson."
She winked at Lu Beichuan, "Boss Lu, trust my eyes."
Lu Beichuan took the winking look and said calmly, "That's right, you can tell from the husband you chose."
Ye Zhen: "... Mr. Lu, you are so shameless."
