Chapter 64: Confrontation

Although he didn't pick up the magazine and read the text like Yin Xian, just when the magazine was spread out on the conference table, Ye Qian knew that such a high degree of similarity could only be that someone here leaked the manuscript to Qingshuang.

The only people who can access the manuscript from normal channels are her, Yin Xian, Chen Yating, the editor-in-charge of the column, and the people from the art department.

She and Yin Xian naturally couldn't do it.

Chen Yating?

Maybe others don't know, but Ye Qian has had a lot of contact with Chen Yating during this time because of the publicity of several well-known clothing brands represented by Xinghui, and he is very clear about her identity as a rich second generation. Chen Yating's work in the magazine is purely out of interest, and by the way, it is basically impossible to use money to buy her to leak information.

Someone from the art department?

The art department has access to all the manuscripts of the magazine, so if you start with these people, why not just grab the cover? What is the need to plagiarize the promotional draft of a fashion column?

Ye Qian immediately realized that this matter was not aimed at Fan Magazine, but Xinghui, at least the men's clothing brand represented by Xinghui.

The seemingly complicated analysis was actually just a little turn in Ye Qian's mind, and the time it took before and after was not as long as the time spent staring at the refreshing magazine.

On this side, Yin Xian handed the magazine to Luo Yifeng, Luo Yifeng roughly scanned the content, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Linda had been quietly observing Luo Yifeng and Yin Xian, and after capturing the imperceptible shock in their eyes, she was secretly happy, and then turned her gaze to Ye Qian.

She was playing with her phone under the conference table as if she were nothing!

Linda's eyes deepened, and she cleared her throat and said, "President, as the director of the advertising department, let me say a few words." ”

After receiving Luo Yifeng's nod of approval, Linda continued: "I think the top priority now is the following two points: first, thoroughly investigate this matter and never tolerate those responsible for leaking the manuscript; ”

Hearing this, Ye Qian stopped pressing the mobile phone, raised his eyes and looked at Linda, his eyes were sharp as if he knew everything.

Linda's eyes flashed, and there was a moment of weakness, "It just so happens that I have a client in my hand who is preparing for the next issue of gentlemanly character, and the relevant information is already in the editorial department, I can contact him immediately to transfer to this issue, I believe that with my friendship with him, this little adjustment is no problem at all." ”

Chen Yating is an upright girl, and without waiting for Ye Qian and several bosses to speak, she said directly: "I told you a long time ago that the kind of domestic third-tier brand is not qualified for a gentleman's character, and it is not a problem in this issue and the next issue at all." ”

Linda's face was gloomy, "According to what you said, is it to ask our advertising department to refuse to get customers? Although Ocean House is not a first-line brand, the advertising fee is not less than that of international first-line brands, and people also come to us with real money to do publicity, and they signed six issues of advertising at one time." Are you telling me not to accept such customers? By your standards, I'm afraid that more than half of the advertisers won't be able to accept them. ”

Chen Yating is a little princess of a rich family, and she is not afraid of Linda's hair at all, so she said unhurriedly: "Please don't change the concept, what I'm talking about is that Ocean House is not suitable for the positioning of the column of gentleman's character, Fan has so many columns, each of which has its own clear positioning, Director Linda won't be clear until now, right?"

Ocean House, even the name is plagiarized from Hailan House, and the LOGO is also to prevent others from doing it, Chen Yating's most disgusting thing is this kind of brand, and she will never allow this kind of brand to appear in the column she is responsible for.

Although it is a column that charges for external fees, Chen Yating also has her own insistence and will never advertise fake and shoddy products.

Linda was choked and was about to say something more forcefully, but Yin Xian spoke first.

"Yes, Linda, you haven't been in the magazine for a long time, you may not know much about the positioning of our columns, each of our columns has its own clear positioning, even if the customer gives money, it is not that you can be on which column you want to be on. Please also respect the editorial autonomy of the editorial department. ”

Linda's originally gloomy face completely darkened, "Editor-in-Chief Yin, don't forget that Fan Magazine still has to make a profit in the end, without these advertisers, how can Fan survive? ”

Yin Xian smiled coldly, "I think Director Linda has put the cart before the horse, the God of Fan Magazine is not advertisers, but readers, without the support of readers, without the wonderful content presented by the editorial department, and without high sales, do you think there will be advertisers willing to pay for Fan to advertise?"

Yin Feng has never given an inch in the matter of editorial freedom, not to mention Linda, a small advertising director, who never gave in to Jinbo's board of directors at the beginning.

Staring at Linda's suddenly frozen face, Yin Xian continued: "Why is the advertising fee of Fan Magazine always the highest among the same type of magazines, but there are still a steady stream of customers to advertise in Fan Magazine, it is because Fan Magazine is the most credible magazine NO.1 voted by netizens, and all the products recommended by Fan Magazine are products with good quality and reputation. A brand like Ocean House, which even has a name to copycat others, should not only be unsuitable for the column of gentlemanly character, but should not appear in Fan magazine at all. ”

Linda's face changed and changed, she privately collected 100,000 yuan from Ocean House to ensure that their brand could be on the gentleman's character column, and now Yin Xian not only rejected this possibility, but also eliminated the customer directly.

What about her 100,000 yuan?

Don't look at her indifferent face when she collects the money, as if she doesn't care much about this little money, but letting her spit out the money again is as uncomfortable as tearing the flesh on her ribs.

Linda clenched her hand tightly and turned her gaze to Luo Yifeng, "President, is this also your decision? The contract between Ocean House and us has been signed, six issues of advertising, 500,000 advertising fees, do you really want to break the contract? The editorial department has its own insistence, our advertising department also has its own bottom line, and I will also adhere to the business reputation of the magazine, since the contract has been signed, I will be responsible for my customers." ”

The old god Luo Yifeng was sitting in the leather chair, supporting his forehead with one hand, and casually covering the documents on the conference table with the other, and said casually: "I have read the contract with the Ocean House, and the six issues of 500,000 will be given for one column promotion, and the discount is big enough!"

A layer of fine cold sweat oozed from Linda's back, the Ocean House gave her 100,000 in private, but the wool was out of the sheep, why did she give her money if she didn't give the Ocean House a discount?

She didn't expect Luo Yat to look at the contract, which had never happened before. But how long has she only been in Fan Magazine, Luo Yifeng hasn't read it before, it doesn't mean that he won't read it in the future, in fact, except for the time when his father was hospitalized, Luo Yifeng came to the magazine less often, and he usually supervised every detail of the work of various departments.

It was during that time that Linda joined Fan Magazine, so she had a misunderstanding of Luo Yifeng's rigorous work style.

Linda subconsciously made a swallowing motion, and stubbornly resisted: "I value the long-term cooperation between the two parties in the future to give the best price." ”

Luo Yifeng smiled slightly, and a pair of eyes behind the glasses that looked warm and warm, but were actually extremely sharp, narrowed slightly. It's just that these eyes are well hidden behind the glasses, which gives people the illusion that they are as warm as jade and easy to get along with.

"There are many customers and brands that have cooperated with Fan for a long time, and some of them have been cooperating for more than five years, and such a discount has never been available. Of course, you may think that there is no problem if you don't exceed your authority, but I think it's also a demonstration of your negotiating skills. Fan does not need to rely on low prices to attract customers today, as Editor-in-Chief Yin said, customers value Fan's high sales and credibility. ”

Linda is going to be depressed to death, from the very beginning, she only has two purposes, first, to let the Ocean House replace the gentlemanly character of Xinghui;

But she didn't say anything, and everyone pointed their heads at her, anyway, she didn't say a word about such a serious incident as the leak of the manuscript, isn't this topic a bit biased?

Now that even her ability to work is questioned, doesn't Luo Yifeng mean that her ability is not as good as that of an ordinary member of the advertising department?

Linda's eyebrows were covered with a layer of gloom, "President, what do you mean by this? Are you denying the role of the advertising department, belittling the existence value of the advertising department, and ignoring the efforts of so many of us? Don't forget that the survival of the magazine depends on the orders of every brother under my command. ”

Isn't it going to be off-topic? Then just run bigger, and no one wants to stop!

Everyone in the peanut advertising department who had been dialing peanuts next to them heard Linda's words, and sure enough, their eyes changed, and they looked at Luo Yifeng dissatisfied.

Luo Yifeng said indifferently: "Fan is a team, any person, a link has a corresponding role, indispensable, every Fan employee is a valuable asset of the magazine." ”

His words were polite, but there was an unquestionable majesty in his tone, and under his shock, everyone withdrew their gazes one after another, and remained silent with their eyes and noses.

Yin Xian saw that Luo Yifeng's authority was unreasonably challenged by Linda, and he couldn't hold back his temper for a long time, and as soon as Luo Yifeng's words were finished, he even said like a cannon: "Linda, do you have a problem with your comprehension? May I ask from which sentence did you get the president questioning the role of the advertising department? From beginning to end, what I heard was that the president was questioning your ability." To be honest, I don't think you're up to the job of an advertising director based on your current performance. ”

Linda's face changed greatly, she turned pale in an instant, and roared angrily: "What do you mean by this?"

Yin Xian sneered: "Literally, you won't even be able to understand such straightforward words!"

Ye Qian couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, this Yin reward intimidated people, it was really no worse than her!

Below, a few more uncontrollable laughter rang out.

Linda had never received such a cold reception, her pupils suddenly constricted, and a cold light shot towards Yin Xian, "Yin Xian, don't deceive people too much!"

His gaze turned to Luo Yifeng, "President, you just said that Fan is a team, do you treat your teammates like this? ”

Luo Yifeng looked at Yin Xian, a gentle color flashed in his deep eyes, and his deep voice revealed a bit of pampering, "Editor-in-chief Yin's personality is indeed too straightforward. ”

Linda: ......!!!

So this is an indirect agreement with Yin Xiang's words? Linda's sense of crisis suddenly arises.

All:......!!!

Why does it seem that I have eaten dog food, and I am inexplicably a little supportive?

Ye Qian: Senior brother, do you dare to be more blatant?

Luo Yifeng continued calmly in the dumbfounded eyes of everyone: "The topic seems to be a little far, let's talk about the gentleman's character in this issue, Ye Qian, Xinghui is your customer, what do you think?"

Before Ye Qian could speak, Linda jumped out again to brush her sense of existence, "I think that before the manuscript leakage incident is investigated, Ye Qian is not suitable to participate in the opinions again." ”

"Oh?" Luo Yifeng raised his eyebrows, "Why?"

Because Ye Qian was the last person to come into contact with the manuscript, she was the most suspicious. Linda raised her chin and said confidently: "I think she is not only unsuitable to participate in the handling of the incident, but also should be immediately suspended, hand over all her clients, and accept the company's investigation." ”

Ye Qian's eyes deepened, and he immediately understood that this matter was not aimed at Xinghui, but her, so it was a bit redundant for her to ask Xia Lin to investigate the people in the marketing department just now.

The inner ghost is in Fan Magazine, and it is related to Linda.

Ye Qian's gaze swept around the conference room, and finally landed on Zhang Xue.

Her eyes were strange, nervous and excited, containing too much information

Ye Qian squinted his eyes, he already knew it in his heart, and lowered his head and sent a WeChat message to Xia Lin, telling him that the problem was on his side, and he didn't need to check the people on Xinghui's side.

Linda saw that Ye Qian was still absentmindedly fiddling with the mobile phone at this time, as if she had grabbed another handle, and pointed to Ye Qian's side, "Look at it, this is Ye Qian's work attitude, he is still playing with his mobile phone in such a serious meeting, and I can't afford to use such an employee in the advertising department." ”

Ye Qian smiled, his smile was full of playful mockery, "Are you finished? President, is that okay?"

Luo Yifeng stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

Ye Qian pressed on the interface of her mobile phone to show it to everyone, and finally put it in front of Linda's eyes, "Director, you see, I am not playing with my mobile phone in a serious way, on the contrary, when you bark and bite like a mad dog, you will seek a solution to the problem at the first time." ”

She turned the page to the first WeChat message sent by Xia Lin today, the time was half an hour ago, when she just found out that the manuscript was similar to Qingshuang, Ye Qian had already explained the situation for the first time, in addition to asking Xia Lin to investigate the personnel on that side, it was to discuss how to deal with this situation, whether to replace it with other series, or stick to the current series.

Linda's face changed, and she said with a tough attitude: "So what? This does not clear your suspicion of leaking the manuscript, you are still not suitable to follow up on this matter, I order you to hand over all the information of Xinghui immediately, and suspend him for investigation." ”

Ye Qian's smile became brighter and brighter, and a pair of clear eyes shot a cold glow, this strange contrast was particularly miserable.

"The director said I was suspicious, but I felt that the director was more suspicious than me. Isn't it time for the superintendent to hand over all the work to be investigated together? ”

Linda's eyes fluttered, and she roared in a strong voice: "Nonsense, I have never seen this manuscript, how can I leak it! Ye Qian, don't try to confuse the public, this will only make you more suspicious." ”

The corners of Ye Qian's mouth always had a slight smile, "The same thing applies to the director." ”

A fierce cold light crossed Linda's eyes, "Ye Qian, with your attitude of committing a crime, I can fire you if you believe it or not." ”

At this time, Luo Yifeng said coldly: "Linda, you seem to have forgotten that I am the president of Fan Magazine, and the appointment and dismissal of personnel is in my hands, including your personnel appointment and dismissal." ”

Linda's eyes deepened, realizing that she had gone too far just now, and then her whole temperament changed instantly, she bit her lip tightly, and her expression was shy, completely lacking the flamboyance and arrogance when she faced Ye Qian just now, and even the ruthlessness in her eyes flashed on her face in an instant.

Her head was buried low, looking low and harmless, "I trespassed." ”

Luo Yifeng glanced at Linda and looked at Ye Qian, "You go on, what is the result of the discussion with Xinghui?"

Ye Qian nodded and said: "I explained the situation to Xia Lin, the head of the marketing department of Xinghui, as soon as possible, and he has also seen the relevant content of this issue of Qingshuang, and at first we considered replacing the content of this issue with different series of the same brand." ”

Yin Xian couldn't help but whisper beside him: "That's not too cheap and refreshing." ”

Ye Qian couldn't help but smile, she really had the same temper as her, and they all had the same thoughts, not to mention that it was cheaper and refreshing, and it was cheaper than the imitation domestic third-tier brand. Clothing plagiarism, promotional drafts also plagiarize such a cheap thing.

She said loudly: "The editor-in-chief is right, we also considered this problem later, even if there is no way to prove the plagiarism, but this kind of behavior cannot be tolerated, it must be cracked down, so in the end we decided to still use the original series, but the content has become a comparison with the same model of domestic brands, from the material to the workmanship to the accessories, details, and the ingenuity of the first-line big brands is not to be copied if you want to copy." ”

Yin Xiang was the first to applaud.

Ye Qian looked at Chen Yating again, "The specific text says that Xinghui will give you time before getting off work today?"

Chen Yating hates the most is the cottage, and she also felt happy when she heard Ye Qian's final solution, so she immediately nodded and said: "No problem, I will work overtime tonight to drive out the manuscript, and it will never affect the final publication of the book." ”

"That's bothering you. After hearing the answer he wanted to hear, Ye Qian turned to Luo Yifeng, "President, I also want to talk about the leakage of the manuscript this time." ”

After getting Luo Yifeng's approval, Ye Qian looked at Linda, "Director, you just said that I was the most suspicious, because I was the last person to contact the manuscript, right?"

Linda crossed her arms around her chest and nodded arrogantly, "Not bad." ”

Ye Qian asked rhetorically: "What about the evidence? The director said that he had never even seen this manuscript, so how did he know that I was the last to contact the manuscript?"

"Uh......" Linda couldn't answer, she couldn't say that she had let Zhang Xue monitor Ye Qian all the time, and stole the USB flash drive with the manuscript to backup a copy when she went to the toilet.

Ye Qian smiled contemptuously, "Then let's talk about the motive, please be the director, why do you think I did this? Xinghui is now my biggest customer, what good will it do me if I leak its information? For money, please be refreshing for such a promotional draft, how much money can I afford? I'm afraid I won't even give me 10,000." Am I guilty of offending a customer who brings me tens of millions of dollars a year for a mere 10,000 yuan?"

Linda knew that Ye Qian was right, she did give the manuscript to the refreshing editor without taking a penny, and also used favors to make sure that the other party was on time, just to hit Ye Qian, and at the same time let Ocean House replace Xinghui.

But of course she wouldn't admit this, she snorted coldly: "How do I know? I'm not a policeman, I'm only responsible for raising my own reasonable suspicions, and as for what evidence and motives are the police's business." ”

"So the director agreed to call the police?"

Linda: "I didn't say that. You don't have to be embarrassed, you still have to have the reputation of the magazine!"

Although she confirmed that she still had flaws, even the 100,000 yuan was collected in cash, and there was no transfer record to check, Linda still subconsciously refused the police's intervention.

Ye Qian smiled meaningfully, "Okay, let's talk about reasonable doubts, I have a very reasonable doubt to raise, I suspect that the leakage of the manuscript was instigated by Linda, and the specific executor is ......."

Her fingers swiped in the air and finally landed on Zhang Xue, "She, Zhang Xue." ”

Zhang Xue's body trembled, her face turned pale, tears snatched out of her eyes, and big drops fell, "Ye Qian, I know you don't like me, and you have long wanted to drive me out of the magazine, but you can't frame me like this!"

Linda also stood up angrily, "Ye Qian, you better not talk nonsense to me if you don't have any evidence!"

Ye Qian laughed angrily, he really laughed out loud, "Heh, did the director forget what he just said, he is only responsible for putting forward his own reasonable suspicions, and verifying the evidence and motives is the police's business." ”

Linda pointed at Ye Qian, her fingers trembling up and down with anger, "You...... Do you believe ......me or not?"

"I don't believe it. Ye Qian said angrily, and even stuck out his tongue at Linda.

After that, she looked at Luo Yifeng, "President, can I continue?"

Luo Yifeng ignored Linda, who was about to stare him out of a hole, and said, "Say it, I believe you are not a girl who can talk casually." ”

Linda clenched her fists, her eyes bursting with fierce hatred, and the venom in her eyes almost fell from her eyes.

Ye Qian nodded slightly, "Thank you for the president's trust, then I will continue." ”

She looked at Linda defiantly, not afraid that Linda was about to kill her eyes, "Speaking of no evidence, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the director, whether it's evidence or motive, I can get it." ”

The ghost blows the lamp
