Chapter 84: Going to the Feast
The next night, I deliberately wore trousers and a casual shirt with a collar, anyway, it was a meal, there was no need to be so grand, and it was the most important thing to protect yourself.
As a result, as soon as I entered the private room, it was really amazing, and almost all of the people here were people I didn't want to see.
In addition to Ma Tao and Li Xiao, there are also ten people including Manager Liang.
After being introduced, I knew that in addition to Li Xiao, there was also an investor named Du Jiang in the Rubik's Cube, who looked calmer than Li Xiao and could talk.
When he heard my name, his gaze stayed on my face for a few more seconds.
Ma Tao arranged for me to sit on Li Xiao's left hand side, and his female subordinate, Lili, sat on the right side.
Lily deserves to be from the marketing department, and she sang and harmonized with another colleague, and Li Xiao was about to go to heaven.
But Du Jiang obviously didn't eat this set, mainly because Manager Liang cooperated with Ma Tao to meet him.
Just when I felt a little redundant, Li Xiao began his performance.
"Editor Cheng, didn't you come today to make meritorious contributions? Why didn't you say anything?"
After three rounds of drinking, I think he is indeed a little carried away.
Ma Tao glanced at me, I decided to endure the humiliation and treat him with courtesy first, so I picked up my wine glass: "Mr. Du, Mr. Li, I had a misunderstanding with our contracted artists because of the interview article, and I have shortcomings in my work, and I hope that the two CEOs Haihan." ”
Lily poured me a full glass of red wine, and I drank it all.
"You're drinking red wine, and I'm white. According to the rules, you have three to one, you have three cups, and I have one. And how can there be a glass of wine to toast two people? Only when they are saluted separately can there be sincerity. Li Xiao took out the set on the wine table to contain me.
Of course, the others echoed him, after all, I was nothing.
I had made a lot of preparations before I came, and after taking the sobering medicine, my stomach was basically full, and with my amount of alcohol, there should be no problems.
I set my sights on Du Jiang because he looked more gentlemanly, and I didn't think he would be too difficult for me.
"I'll forget it, you can drink with Mr. Li. "He's really very particular and knows not to embarrass women.
"Thank you, Mr. Du. I smiled at him, and then said to Li Xiao: "Mr. Li, then I'll drink three cups first, and then we'll talk about something else, okay?"
Li Xiao suddenly showed a happy look, and the others also held the mentality that it was not a big deal to watch the excitement, and followed suit.
After three glasses of red wine, I motioned to Li Xiao to drink all the liquor in the cup, but he didn't run away.
"Mr. Li, do you have anything to say about today's meal? I heard our Mr. Ma say that it is related to the renewal of the Rubik's Cube?" I asked.
"Sunny sun, what kind of work do you drink and talk about? Eating is just for relaxation. Ma Tao glared at me.
I jokingly said: "Mr. Ma, you are hypocritical, who will accompany you for the sake of work? If it weren't for you telling me that I would be responsible for the editing part after the contract was renewed, why would I bother doing all this effort? ”
I'm going to learn and put it into practice, and give full play to the tricks of the soldiers that Sinan taught me.
Ma Tao's eyes wanted to kill me, and I felt very relieved.
And Li Xiao was the same as I expected, not only was he not angry, but his interest increased greatly, and even his title changed: "Jiaoyang, as long as you drink the wine today, Mr. Ma's request to you will definitely be fulfilled." ”
I said yes happily, and then I drank with Li Xiao.
After they knew my purpose very clearly, they seemed to classify me as the same kind and knew everything about me, including Li Xiao, and they also boasted all over the sky without any scruples.
I feel that under his guidance, the Rubik's Cube will be listed on the NASDAQ every minute.
I took advantage of Li Xiao's dizziness and asked him: "Mr. Li, are you sure that the Rubik's Cube will not hold me accountable for fabricating the interview? I thought I was going to lose my job two days ago." ”
Li Xiao looked at me proudly, and when my hand was about to put it on my thigh, I twisted my body, and he naturally threw himself into the air.
He was dazed, thinking that he was not aiming at the target, squinted at me and said, "It's all a misunderstanding, right, Mr. Du?
Du Jiang didn't respond, but looked at me, and his gaze was no longer what it used to be, but became a little complicated.
I thought to myself that I should look down on me, and with the way I look now, I can't even look down on myself.
But I have my purpose, and I have to continue to disguise until I achieve it.
However, Li Xiao's words reminded me of Chu Qingchuan telling me before, he would arrange someone to deal with this matter, and I didn't have to worry about it.
This man really likes to do useless work. Although I thought so, a strange feeling welled up in my heart.
Li Xiao saw that Du Jiang didn't answer him, so he hiccuped at me and asked, "Listen to Mr. Du, have you found the original interview recording?"
I wonder that Li Xiao called Ma Tao to clarify the misunderstanding, and I reported to Sinan later. But listening to the implication of his words, it was Chu Qingchuan who first told Du Jiang that he had found the interview recording before he contacted Ma Tao?
How could Chu Qingchuan have known that I had found the interview recording? Could it be that Lin Yuan told him? Impossible......
Suddenly, I thought of the person Lin Yuan said who had recovered the historical record before him.
If this person is Chu Qingchuan, or someone entrusted by Chu Qingchuan, then maybe everything will be logical.
He saw the recorder on my desk and took it away to resume the interview, which is why he was so sure that I didn't care.
Because at that time, he already had the evidence in hand.
But he didn't tell me anything!
It was because of him that the recorder would lie back on my desk unharmed, after all, he didn't care about me. If it were someone else, I'm afraid there would really be no return.
If it weren't for Lin Yuan, wouldn't I have known that he had done this?
I glanced at the man named Du Jiang, and wondered if he could be one of the Rubik's Cube investors who had a good relationship with Chu Qingchuan as Si Nan told me before?
The relationship between him and Li Xiao seems to be very ordinary, and he is not like a person who likes this kind of wine field, why is he here?
The mystery in my heart was getting bigger and bigger, and Du Jiang noticed that when I was looking at him, his eyes did not shy away from looking at him.
I nodded and smiled at him, and he bowed slightly, his face expressionless.
The reason why I came here was to find out why Li Xiao took the initiative to clarify that this was a misunderstanding, and now that the truth is revealed, there is no need for me to continue pretending.
But it was also unexpected.
I was going to tell them at the end that I had recovered the recordings and then ask for them. It's good now, I've saved a step.
When Li Xiao motioned to Manager Liang to fill it for me, I pushed away the wine bottle in Manager Liang's hand.
"Mr. Li, since you mentioned the interview recording, then I have to explain it to you. Sister Ling is now a popular figure among female artists, and she threw a pot at me out of thin air, but she almost crushed me to death, do you know?" I lost the tone of giggling just now, and everyone present stopped their movements after hearing this.
Li Xiao looked at me drunkenly, and I continued: "Although your Rubik's Cube is going through the internal complaint channel, there is already news on the Internet, how did it appear and how to ferment it, everyone is in the circle, and if you don't understand it, it's nonsense." As an editor, I'm really worried about my career at AC with such a charge. You see, I came with Mr. Ma alone today because our boss almost decided to give up on me.
Mr. Li, I made it very clear just now that I came here today to work. If I don't work hard and assist Mr. Ma to renew the contract with Rubik's Cube, the editorial department will definitely punish me and even let me resign. The head of our company doesn't recognize his six relatives, he can't tolerate his subordinates to make a little mistake, and he pays great attention to customer experience, even if I get back the interview recording, since I have received a complaint, I will definitely be dealt with. ”
I know that at this time, Ma Tao will not come out to expose the fact that Sinan is protecting the calf, why? Because he can hear my purpose, which is the same as his.
Everyone present at the moment is listening patiently.
"If I lose this job, I will have to clarify the fact that I have been wronged, after all, I still have to continue to look for a job, and in this circle, reputation is still very important, right? But the only regret is that if I want to protect my reputation, I will inevitably let Sister Ling suffer a little loss, and if I want to blame it, I can only blame this incident because of her, what do you say, Mr. Li?" I looked at Li Xiao helplessly.
Li Xiao really sobered up a little, he raised his hand to wipe his face, and the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched: "Are you threatening me?"
"Don't dare, Mr. Li, what qualifications do I have to threaten you? I have two ways now, one is to renew the contract between AC and Rubik's Cube, I can continue to stay, Mr. Si sees that I will atone for my crimes, and will no longer hold me responsible. The other is that if the contract is not renewed, I will be dismissed, and then issue a statement to clarify the facts.
That's right. In order to make the complaint more formal, Sister Ling seemed to have specially asked Manager Liang to send a letter of complaint to our general manager, right? "I didn't say anything more, but I made it clear.
In fact, tonight's meal, they just made me ugly and drunk me, and I don't know what they were going to do after that.
In order to please Li Xiao, Ma Tao thought that Li Xiao was interesting to me, so he pushed me to his side and coaxed him to be happy.
But I know very well now that Li Xiao is not interested in me, and the reason why he came out in person is entirely because Li Yutong knew that the interview recording was found, and he was a thief, so he pushed Li Xiao out to settle this matter for her, but he wanted to put on a high posture to forgive my desire to add sin, is it true that the world can reverse black and white at will?
And she is naturally worried about the damage to her reputation, otherwise she would not be so scared that she would not even dare to come out, and she would let her brother work for her as an investor.
As long as I grasp this, it can be used as a winning chip.
The private room was unusually quiet at the moment, and several of Ma Tao's subordinates looked at each other, especially Lily, who looked at me as if she was looking at an outlier.
What I did today can be said to be a bit despicable and bold, with a posture of tearing my face.
Not for anything else, because I consider that since I represent the face of AC, Li Yutong also represents the face of the Rubik's Cube.
At the same time, Li Yutong and I are not comparable, I can leave AC with a dishonored, but she can't, because she has become famous, and she will definitely not dare to tear me apart alone.
Li Xiao is not the only investor in the Rubik's Cube, and if this kind of thing is really big, other investors will definitely not be happy.
I'll take a gamble to see if Li Yutong cares about me or more about her reputation.
