The next day is the weekend.
Because of what happened the day before, Azhong had been on guard early, and when the release time of "Ming Pao" came, he quickly bought a copy.
As expected, Feng Meilin did not publish an apology in the newspaper at all.
"Young mistress, look -"
Azhong handed the newspaper to Jiang Yao
Jiang Yao had long been mentally prepared. She turned to the silent man on the side with the newspaper and said delicately: "Chen Yanbei, someone is bullying your wife, do you care?"
Chen Yanbei raised his eyebrows slightly and straightened the collar of his shirt casually: "What do you want me to do?"
Jiang Yao came forward, held his arm and said sweetly: "Can you lend me a good lawyer to help me fight a lawsuit?"
"You can borrow a lawyer, but it's not necessary."
Jiang Yao was confused: "Why is it unnecessary? Do you know why I borrowed a lawyer?"
"Young Mistress, I couldn't be more angry about what happened yesterday. I have already told the young master." A Zhong was afraid that Jiang Yao might misunderstand Chen Yanbei, so he quickly stood up and explained.
So that's it. Jiang Yao didn't think there was anything wrong with Chen Yanbei knowing about this. Instead, she thought of the man's decisiveness and decisiveness when he dealt with Feng Meizhu's matter last time, and he simply asked him for advice:
"Master Chen, can you please give me some advice? What should I do if I don't hire a lawyer?"
Chen Yanbei said calmly: "No need to do anything, just wait."
"Wait?" Jiang Yao was hesitant. Could it be that people who are despicable have their own destiny, and wait for heaven to accept Feng Meilin? Then we have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?
"Of course, we are waiting for the Feng family to come and apologize." Chen Yanbei's lips slowly raised a hint of sarcasm.
Jiang Yao looked at the man's extremely familiar expression and suddenly thought that the last time Feng Meizhu hit the muzzle of the gun, Chen Yanbei smiled like this.
She was immediately relieved.
"Thank you, Chen Yanbei, you helped me again." Jiang Yao put her little face into the man's strong arm and rubbed it like a little cat.
Chen Yanbei suddenly felt a numbness in his arms, and his heart beat rapidly.
Jiang Yao was still unaware, and after being coquettish for a while, she suddenly raised her cheeks and said "Ah" in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yanbei asked in a low voice.
Jiang Yao brushed her forehead with the back of her hand and muttered: "I made an appointment with my classmates to practice swimming together today, but I almost forgot."
"Chen Yanbei, I have to go out now and I'll be back during dinner."
Jiang Yao stood up and ran upstairs to start packing her things for swimming.
Xiangjiang University requires students to take compulsory physical education courses every semester, and there is also a physical education assessment at the midterm and at the end of the semester.
The skill in this midterm physical education assessment is swimming, not breaststroke, but butterfly stroke.
Jiang Yao can swim breaststroke and backstroke, but is not very proficient in butterfly swimming.
Several classmates in the dormitory didn't know how to do it, so they asked the seniors from the physical education department to give them some tips in private, and made an appointment to practice in the private swimming pool of a certain senior's house on the weekends.
Originally, the villa where Jiang Yao lived also had a large swimming pool and a 180-degree view of the sea. It was more convenient to invite classmates over than to practice at some senior's house.
But several of her classmates in the dormitory came from ordinary families, and she didn't want to appear unusual, so she didn't mention it.
Jiang Yao was cleaning up upstairs, and downstairs, Ah Zhong took the initiative to report the itinerary to Chen Yanbei.
"Master, the meeting place where the young lady made an appointment with her classmates is at a private villa in Taiping Mountain. I heard from the young lady that it seems to be the home of a senior."
"Senior?" Chen Yanbei's face turned gloomy, and the corners of his mouth tightened slightly.
Azhong only felt that the air pressure in the living room suddenly dropped. He rubbed his arms and explained: "Yes, young master, I heard that the senior is still on the school swimming team, and the other three roommates from the young lady's dormitory will also go together. .”
Chen Yanbei whispered "Yes" and warned: "Protect her."
Chen Yanbei also wanted to go out in the afternoon. Not long after Jiang Yao went out, he also took Zhong Yi out.
Maxis Press Group.
The largest newspaper group in Hong Kong owns well-known newspapers and magazines such as Ming Pao, Heung Kong Finance, and Business Weekly, and is deeply loved by Hong Kong readers.
Feng Meilin's date is one of the shareholders of this group.
The largest source of revenue for newspaper groups is advertising. Recently, the advertising contracts with several large clients are about to expire. The group marketing department should start preparing to negotiate contract renewal with customers.
Marketing Director Cici Wang follows the practice of previous years and plans to visit important customers one by one.
The public relations department or marketing department of each company is generally responsible for advertising in newspapers and magazines, so as long as Cici maintains the relationship with the leaders of these two departments of the client company, the contract renewal will be stable.
After browsing through the contact list compiled by the secretary, Cici picked up the phone on the table and dialed the first customer, Huo's Enterprise.
"Lily, I'm the cici king of Maxis. Are you free recently? I need to go out and make an appointment for dinner. I heard that a new Thai restaurant has opened on Nathan Road. The tom yum soup is very authentic. Let's go and try it. ?”
"Sorry, dear, I've been busy working on the company's new products recently, so I don't have time. I'll make an appointment another day!"
"Okay, okay, work is important, you go ahead."
It was common to be rejected. Cici hung up the phone and called the second customer.
It was a similar invitation, but the other party also refused because he was busy with work.
After calling five houses in a row, no one accepted the invitation. Cici felt something was wrong.
Among these five companies, three are Maxis Newspaper's largest advertising clients. If they do not renew their contracts, the company's advertising performance this year will be very ugly.
She couldn't sit still anymore, so she got up, picked up her coat, put on her bag, and planned to visit the companies just now.
The Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon, and the company purchased a batch of mooncakes as souvenirs for customers. Cici casually carried a few boxes to her car, and then drove to Huo's Enterprise.
Huo's Enterprise.
Cici had been here several times before and became familiar with the front desk of Huo's. Today, while she was checking in, she asked casually:
"Hey, I heard that you are going to launch a new product soon. Has the time for the new product launch been set?"
When it comes to setting the time for a press conference, the administration usually knows it last.
But the front desk asked confused: "New product? We have just laid off several employees in the product department recently. Have you never heard of launching a new product?"
"Oh? That's right. Maybe I remembered it wrong." Cici smiled, "Look at my memory. There are so many customers that I may have forgotten it."
The front desk didn't think much about it: "Hey, I don't blame you. Wait a minute. I'll call Lily from the public relations department for you."
The front desk picked up the phone and dialed the public relations department.
After talking on the phone, the receptionist said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Miss Wang, Lily is in a meeting, so she may not have time today..."
Cici is also a professional, so of course she understands what this means.
She smiled at the front desk: "It's okay, I'll come visit another day."
Downstairs of Huo's Enterprise.
Cici did not go far, but found a tea restaurant near Huo's. The French restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows could just observe the comings and goings of Huo's employees.
This Lily avoids her, but she always goes out to eat at noon, I don’t believe she can’t see anyone!
Sure enough, when it was time for dinner, employees came out of Huo's door one after another, and Lily's figure was among them.
What a coincidence, Lily planned to have dinner at a tea restaurant at noon.
"Lily!" When others came in, Cici pretended to meet them by chance and stepped forward, her tone a little surprised.
They are all bastards who have been together for thousands of years. Lily was not embarrassed at all. Instead, she greeted her naturally: "CiCi, why are you here? Oops, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing?"
It was as if what happened in the morning never happened.
Cici also smiled naturally and handed over the moon cake in her hand: "I'm here to give you Mid-Autumn Festival gifts today. It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet, how about we come together?"
"Okay." Lily smiled. They were all blocked, so of course they could only eat together.
The two found a relatively quiet location.
After chatting for a while and waiting for the food to be served, Cici began to steer the conversation towards contract renewal: "Lily, we had a great time cooperating last year. I heard that your marketing plan for this year has been finalized. What about advertising cooperation...?"
At this time, Lily couldn't make any more detours with her:
"Cici, to tell you the truth, I actually intend to continue cooperating with you this year. The budget has been submitted. However, during the meeting this morning, the president suddenly asked to reconsider the cooperation, so there is nothing I can do about it. Give you an accurate answer."
"I understand, thank you Lily." Cici nodded, knowing in her heart that the client suddenly wanted to consider a cooperative relationship. She must have a problem with their Maxis newspaper. If she wants to continue to promote cooperation, she must first understand who the client is. Not satisfied with anything.
But she definitely wouldn't be able to figure it out on her own, and she had to go back and report it to her superiors.
After having dinner with Lily, Cici visited two companies in the afternoon and got similar answers, saying that she should reconsider the cooperative relationship.
Now she was even more sure of her judgment. Something must have happened that she didn't know about.
Office of the President of Maxis Press Group.
"Maike, I talked to a few big clients today about contract renewal, but they all said they need to think about it again. Logically speaking, we have been cooperating for several years, and contract renewals went smoothly in previous years. They even took the initiative to contact us. This year It feels like a deliberate delay.”
Cici truthfully reported the information she inquired from the customer today to the president, and then continued: "I have asked people in the department to conduct self-examination to see if there are any problems that we ignored during the cooperation process that have caused customer dissatisfaction."
Cici's report contained both problems and plans. Mai Hao was very satisfied: "It doesn't matter. You can conduct an internal self-examination first, and I'll also talk to the boss of the client company."
Cici returned to her office, and the self-examination reports of the following team members were also sent up. Basically, they all reported that there were no problems in the process of cooperating with customers.
Cici was confused, what's going on?
After thinking about it, she picked up the phone on the table and called a friend who worked at Ming Pao, hoping to check the newspapers under the group:
"Hey, Amei, I'm Cici, I want to ask you something..."
Amei is a reporter, and no reporter is ill-informed. She immediately said: "Cici, there was a scandal in the newspaper yesterday, but I don't know if it has anything to do with what you said. You know Deputy Editor Feng, right?... …”
Amei recounted yesterday's incident between Feng Meilin and Jiang Yao, "I only found out today that the person I confronted Editor Feng yesterday was actually the eldest mistress of the Chen family, Chen Yanbei's wife! No wonder I dared to choke with Feng Meilin. Voice."
"Chen Yanbei is the former prince of Xiangjiang. Do you think that if Feng Meilin offends that person, will it also implicate our newspaper? With that person's connections in the business world, even if he is not in good health now, he can casually kill a few of our clients. It’s easy to do things.”
Hearing this, Cici frowned slightly. She did not rule out this possibility, but: "I remember that Feng Meilin's sister also married into the Chen family? The current president of the Chen family seems to be her husband. Isn't it possible that she can't compete with one?" An abandoned son abandoned by his family?"
Amei: "I don't know then. Don't worry about the client. Just wait and see the battle between the two, a former prince and a current person in power. There will definitely be results in the near future."
It must be said that Amei’s prediction was very accurate.
