Chapter 217: A Game Within a Game
When "Plant Source" announced the launch time online, "Fenghua", as an international leading FMCG brand, also released the launch announcement of new products at the same time.
Cheng Jue looked at the official website of "Bai Xiao" with a smug expression, "Bai Shiyao, thank you this time." Lin Wei, send it out. ”
"Understood!"
A flash of excitement flashed on Lin Wei's face, she was very happy with Cheng Jue's arrangement. Bai Shiyao, leaving the imperial capital is your final destination.
In fact, to be honest, Lin Wei was able to gain a firm foothold in the "red light spot", thanks to Bai Shiyao's help. Bai Shiyao entered the company before her, and after Lin Wei came in, she was assigned to Bai Shiyao's group. At that time, Lin Wei's ability was really not good, Bai Shiyao took care of Lin Wei for the sake of falling people at the same time.
At the beginning, Lin Wei was also very grateful to Bai Shiyao. Later, after that incident, Lin Wei personally wrote the heart-wrenching copy, although it was given to him, which was understandable, but what Lin Wei did was still chilling.
Although Bai Shiyao left the company at that time, her reputation in their department was actually good. Everyone was ashamed of Lin Wei's behavior, thinking that she stepped on her former benefactor in order to gain a position, so they alienated her.
At that time, Lin Wei's life was very difficult, whenever she saw others looking at herself with the expression of a white-eyed wolf, Lin Wei was absolutely very embarrassed, and her self-esteem couldn't stand this kind of vision. So when He Ziyun found her and asked her to deal with Bai Shiyao, she agreed without hesitation.
In her opinion, all this is Bai Shiyao's fault.
"Director Cheng, it's been released. ”
Lin Wei's heart is very happy, if she can drive Bai Shiyao out of the imperial capital and out of the public relations industry earlier, she will no longer have to face the same eyes as others. Time can smooth everything out, and then she will be her new self. People will only see the glory on her face, and no one will care what she climbed up by in the first place.
While the "Source of Plants" took the opportunity to spread out vigorous publicity, the "Fenghua" in charge of Cheng Jue also began to hype. The promotional video shot by a famous film and television star has spread on the Internet, and as a first-line star, he has tens of millions of fans and almost responds to it on Weibo.
"Fenghua" is backed by an internationally renowned R&D team and has service counters in major shopping malls, which soon left an impression in the hearts of the people. With the help of the "shampoo boom" brought by the "source of plants", it has hit the labels of "big brand, trustworthy" and "safe and reliable", and has taken advantage of the trend.
As a leading and veteran public relations company in China, "Red Spot" has always attracted much attention. As soon as Cheng Jue's actions came out, almost on the same day, other public relations companies in the imperial capital began to follow suit. For a while, all kinds of "shampoos" were launched at the same time, just to be able to rub off the heat.
Xiao Zhao watched various topics about shampoo emerge on the Internet, and all kinds of water armies were menacing. Seeing the sharp decline in the number of searches and discussions of 'Source of Plants', I couldn't help but worry, "Mr. Bai, what should I do?"
Although Bai Shiyao expected this step, she didn't expect Cheng Jue to do this, "It's okay, Xiao Zhao, continue according to our plan." Other PR agencies are not stupid and can guess our plans sooner or later. It's just that I didn't expect it to be so soon. ”
"The Source of Plants" is completely stirred up by this wave of black material, and there is no mass base in the first place, and it is completely thanks to Bai Shiyao's surprise that it can have such a big topic.
Originally, with Bai Shiyao's plan, other companies should have a while before they found out, but she didn't expect that the "red light spot" was not a muffled wave of popularity, but instead raised its head and set off a trend of imitation.
Fortunately, the name of "the source of plants" has been played.
Time is like sand in your hand, the tighter you grip it, the faster it loses. Night is quietly approaching, and the bright neon lights in the city announce the arrival of the rich nightlife of the imperial capital.
The discussion on the Internet did not stop because of the arrival of the night, and after a day of fermentation, the national interest in shampoos caused by the "source of plants" became more and more intense because more and more brands joined in.
……
At night, beside the boulevard, a slender voice came slowly. The moonlight fell and fell on her well-defined features. The wind ruffled her long dress and ruffled her long hair.
The air is faintly scented with flowers from afar, the villa is brightly lit at night, and the huge fountain in front of the villa is intoxicated with colorful lights.
The ethereal Qingyue voice remembered: "It's hard to say goodbye when we meet, the east wind is powerless! I can finally see you, my mother." ”
Delicate and shiny, with dotted crystal high heels "da-da-da" on the marble steps, pink toenails in the crystal chandelier in front of the door cast a faint pink mist.
"Miss is back!"
"Miss is back!"
Lin Bo looked at Xu Qing, who was standing at the door in a long dress, and nodded with a smile, "The master is in the study." ”
"Thank you Limber!"
Xu Qing took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile. Her palms were slightly sweaty, she was afraid, but she knew that she couldn't back down, she had to face it.
The distance from the first floor to the study on the second floor was the distance at which she summoned up her courage to declare war like fate. The frescoes of the figures on the walls of the staircase also seem to be covered with a layer of sadness, a dull tone, with a hint of pathos.
"Buckle Buckle"
Xu Qing didn't hear any response from inside, but she knew that Old Man Xiao had heard it. She didn't move, standing quietly at the door, her heart beating like a drum, and her hands unconsciously clenched her long skirt.
The silky and gauzy long skirt was not easy to wrinkle, but now it was wrinkled into a flower, like the folds on the face of an old lady who was dozens of years old. The combination of blue as the color of the sea and slender white palms as white as snow is already very beautiful, but the slightly raised green tendons destroy everything.
The deeper the night, the more silent the whole villa became, and the silence was terrifying.
"Come in!"
Xu Qing closed his eyes, pinched the long skirt hard, took a deep breath, and unscrewed the doorknob. The miserable white light in the room fell on her face, and there was a thrilling feeling of seeing death as if she were at home, like a white portrait, extremely simple and beautiful.
The study room is decorated as always, there is no more book on the shelf, no less one, ten years ago, and ten years later, as if it has been sealed by the dust of time, without the slightest change. The high seat behind the desk was still facing away from Xu Qing.
"How's it going?" The hoarse voice was as cold as it was, without a hint of fireworks.
Xu Qing's expression was dazed, and he didn't dare to expire, "Grandpa, I have already told Bai Shiyao according to your instructions, I believe she has already told Brother Jun Ye about the matter." ”
"Good, this is your last chance!
Xu Qing's heart tightened, and he replied with a hint of trembling: "Understood! Thank you grandpa!"
Old Man Xiao never gives people a second chance. If she wasn't the housewife candidate he had cultivated since childhood, Xu Qing wouldn't dare to imagine the fate of deceiving Old Man Xiao.
"Let's go down and find Limber!"
Xu Qing's face was overjoyed when he heard this, "Thank you, grandpa! If it weren't for grandpa deliberately arranging someone to follow him, I wouldn't have been able to let Bai Shiyao let down his guard so quickly." ”
Old Man Xiao didn't speak, and Xu Qing slowly retreated.
Bai Shiyao, Brother Jun Ye, I'm sorry, please forgive me for my deception. You will understand one day that I am doing this for your own good. You don't know Old Man Xiao's methods at all, hitting a stone with an egg will only end up in pieces. Rather than that, it is better for us to be obedient at first, so that we can at least get a little less hurt.
She didn't know how Old Man Xiao found out that she was lying, but he did. For the sake of her mother, she had to beg Old Man Xiao to give her another chance. This time, she didn't dare to play tricks at all.
Although he felt guilty, Xu Qing believed that he had done nothing wrong. Even she, who has followed Old Man Xiao since she was a child, can't guess Old Man Xiao's methods, let alone Bai Shiyao and Qin Junye?
After this incident was exposed, she didn't dare to resist at all. She didn't think that if she resisted, she would have a chance to ask Old Man Xiao for mercy, but she was sure that she would definitely not have the next chance to be discovered by Old Man Xiao. She didn't dare to gamble, and she couldn't afford to gamble.
Lin Bo seemed to have known that Xu Qing would come to see her, and he waited in the hall early. The others in the villa had already been sent out by Limber, and now there were only three people in the entire villa. Lin Bo, Xu Qing, and Old Man Xiao in the study.
Seeing Xu Qing coming downstairs, Lin Bo skillfully handed the blindfold in his hand to Xu Qing, "Miss, please bring this!"
Xu Qing took it and took it without hesitation. There was a sudden darkness in front of her, and in the darkness, she only felt that Lin Bo handed her a wooden staff, "Miss, hold the wooden staff tightly and follow me!"
Lin Bo watched Xu Qing clench his cane, pulled her and began to circle around the entire villa.
Blindfolded, Xu Qing only felt that he had walked a long, long way. Every time she went to see her mother, she would go through this period. Even though she visits once a month, she still can't find where her mother is. This is also one of the reasons why she didn't dare to go against Old Man Xiao.
Xu Qing silently calculated in his heart, two thousand one hundred and ten, two thousand one hundred and eleven, two thousand one hundred and twelve. It's here!
"Miss, wait a minute!"
Limber put down his staff and went to a corner of the hall. That's right, it's a corner of the hall. That is to say, Lin Bo took Xu Qing to walk two thousand one hundred and twelve steps, turned around in the villa for most of the time, and returned to the starting point.
ACCORDING TO THE DISTANCE OF A NORMAL PERSON'S 45CM-65CM STEP, IF IT IS ESTIMATED AT 50CM, 2,112 STEPS IS ABOUT A DISTANCE OF 1,000 METERS. This kilometer is just to charm Xu Qing.
There was a circle of sconces around one corner of the hall, and Limber went to the nearest one in the doorway, and reached out and pressed the bulge under the hidden sconce.
The wall where the sconces were located slowly moved back, revealing a deep hole. Lin Bo pulled up the wooden staff again and led Xu Qing into the cave. Once they were inside, the walls slowly moved and returned to their original state again.
Limber watched the door close, "Miss, it's okay!"
Hearing this, Xu Qing took off the blindfold on his face and looked around at the scene that he had seen countless times. At a distance of only ten square meters, there are two lights hanging on the wall, and there is an elevator in front of it.
Xu Qing knew that she was going to have to take the elevator to see her mother. Although he still didn't get a clue, Xu Qing was used to it.
"Let's go, Limber!"
Limber took out a key from his waist and plugged it into the elevator, and the elevator slowly opened. Xu Qing and Lin Bo walked in.
The elevator runs slowly downward, and the narrow elevator can only stand five people at a time, and the air is as dull as ever. Xu Qing's heart couldn't help but jump with joy as the elevator descended.
I haven't seen my mother for a month, and I wonder how her body is recovering.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator arrived. As the elevator doors slowly open, there is also the door to the new world.
