Chapter 70: Inadvertent Tricks

Duan Yu said on the phone just now, I had some misunderstandings with you in the past, and I hope that we will abandon our prejudices with each other, and no one will care about it anymore, and we will work together to run the newspaper well in the future. Said softly.

"Did he really say that?" Wu Mian was skeptical.

"Am I going to lie to you? This is what he told me to tell you. Qianrou paused and said earnestly, "Xiao Wu, I know that Duan Yu is not easy to get along with sometimes, and you are not used to the way he works, but he also has his strengths...... You don't have to worry about some of the little frictions in the past, okay?"

"No problem. Hehe, I'm very big, and I didn't pay attention to that little thing. Wu Mian readily agreed, but secretly muttered in his heart, I don't know which play Duan Yu is singing.

Qianrou nodded in approval: "Duan Yu said that although he is mainly responsible for advertising now, a lot of work needs your full cooperation to continue." Because now customers don't have a good impression of hard advertising, and they like to use 'soft news' to package marketing ......"

Wu Mian suddenly realized. It seems that Duan Yu must have met a certain customer, and he asked for "soft news" to advertise, so he had to soften his body and ask for help from himself through shallow softness. He said angrily: "Sister, just say it." What does Vice President Duan want me to do? For the sake of the newspaper and for your sake, I will definitely fully cooperate with him in official affairs. ”

Qianrou smiled with satisfaction and repeated what Duan Yu said.

It turned out that Dongjiang Automobile Group would hold a large-scale event at three o'clock to promote several new electric vehicles. Duan Yu had promised to attend the event in person and be responsible for writing a full-page special issue, but he was delayed in talking about the project in Haizhou City at noon, and there was a traffic jam on the road, so he could not come back in time, so he hoped that Wu Mian, the interview director, would attend on his behalf, so as not to lose his trust.

After listening to Wu Mian's agreement, he saw that the time was already half past two, so he drove Qianrou back to the newspaper office first, and then drove directly to the headquarters of Dongjiang Automobile Group, arriving at nearly three o'clock.

As soon as he parked the car, his mobile phone rang, and it was Duan Yu calling.

The tone of this cream boy was actually very polite, contrary to the hostility of the past, he first thanked Wu Mian, and then praised his editing ability, saying that if you think about it, this task can only be relieved if it is handed over to you.

Since the opponent released his kindness, Wu Mian was of course also happy to be generous, saying that he would definitely complete the work seriously, and if there was anything that needed attention, just give orders.

"Actually, it's nothing special, you can play freely with the script. Duan Yu's voice came from the microphone, "But the secretary of Dongjiang Automobile said that he hoped we could help ask two questions on the spot." ”

"Oh, what's the problem?"

"Do you have a pen and paper, please write it down, and it's best to read it aloud so that you don't make mistakes......"

"Okay, wait a minute. ”

Wu Mian took out a pen and paper, and after recording sentence by sentence, he closed the line and walked into the conference hall of Dongjiang Automobile Group.

Manager Wu of the public relations department, who was in charge of receiving reporters, greeted him, and heard that Wu Mian was the interview director of "Dongjiang Business Daily", and warmly beckoned him to sit at the front, and whispered to him that he would arrange his fifth question later, so that he could remember to raise his hand when the time came, and Wu Mian nodded and agreed.

Moments later, the press conference began, and reporters were first taken to the exhibition area, where executives from TK stood in front of several new electric vehicles to explain their capabilities in detail. The spotlight flashed incessantly, bringing the vehicle and the executives into the camera together.

Wu Mian also took out his camera and took dozens of photos, patiently listened to the introduction, and then sat down with the reporters. Executives sat on the front podium, ready to answer questions from reporters.

Sitting in the middle is Qi Ce, managing director of TK Motor Group. This is a fat-headed, stupid, stumbling man who looks stupid. When he introduced the functions of electric vehicles to the media just now, he barely said a word from beginning to end, and was basically introduced by two deputies.

After entering the Q&A session, Qi Ce became even more nervous, and he had to read and answer most of the questions. As soon as Wu Mian heard it, he knew that all these questions were arranged in advance. In other words, all the questioners, including myself, are the "trust" of TK Automobile, and the so-called "Q&A session" is just a formality.

This is a common occurrence for every journalist, most often at press conferences held by government departments, mainly for fear of being asked sensitive questions that are difficult to answer and overwhelmed by the answerer.

Wu Mian despised this at first, but later slowly got used to it, often laughing at himself that it was not a reporter interviewing, but an "extra" making a cameo. There is a lot of acting on and off the stage, and everyone on the scene actually knows it.

As one of the largest state-owned enterprises in the province, the executives of Dongjiang Automobile Group are directly appointed by the government, and the style of officials has also been copied. Qi Ce is even more mediocre bastard, and he has been able to mix in the throne of managing director for several years by pulling connections through the back door, which has always been regarded as a big joke by the outside world.

After the four peers finished "performing", Wu Mian also raised his hand to ask a question, and the microphone quickly passed to him. After he stood up and reported to his home, he read out the two questions that Duan Yu had reported to him.

"The first question, we saw someone on the Internet break the news, saying that these new electric vehicles were developed in cooperation with RB Fengling, not pure independent brands. May I ask Mr. Qi, under the current tense situation between China and Japan, will you worry about the boycott of the products by the patriots?"

Wu Mian thought of this, and habitually glanced up, and suddenly found that Qi Ce's face on the stage had become ugly. He was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and continued to read.

"The second question, Mr. Qi said a paragraph ago that he was considering retirement, and everyone is very concerned about this matter. Will you retire within this year, and who will take your place within the group?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a slight uproar at the scene. The originally lazy reporters were in high spirits and sat up straight to take notes, and it was clear that both of these questions hit the nail on the head.

Wu Mian secretly screamed that it was not good, and he felt that something was not right. Turning his head to look, Manager Wu of the Public Relations Department who had just received him had a pale face and an annoyed look.

Qi Ce on the stage was even more red-faced and thick-necked, stammering and not agreeing: "These two questions ...... How can we be boycotted? You, the journalist, ...... I don't retire or not...... It's also an organizational decision, and I don't need to explain it to you!"

Everyone was secretly amused when they heard it, and a deputy general manager next to him quickly grabbed the microphone, and replied on behalf of Qi Ce, first firmly denying that the group had a cooperative relationship with RB Fengling, and then denying that Qi Ce would retire in a short time. Although the answer is not too good, at least the organization is quite clear.

Beads of sweat broke out on the tip of Wu Mian's nose, and his heart was in chaos. Looking at this situation, Dongjiang Automobile Group is completely unprepared for these two problems, which is equivalent to being caught off guard, which is why it is so gaffe.

After two more reporters asked questions, the press conference ended hastily. The executives hurriedly withdrew with a straight face, and Manager Wu of the public relations department glared at Wu Mian fiercely and followed.

Wu Mian took out his mobile phone and dialed Duan Yu's phone full of suspicion: "Vice President Duan, I said did you remember the wrong person's question? I asked Qi Ce a question on the spot just now, and when he heard it, his face turned black, and he spoke upside down, not at all like he was ready to answer the answer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Mian suddenly had a thought in his heart - fuck, could it be Duan Yu, the bastard, who "stole the beams and changed the pillars", and tampered with these two questions to frame me, right?

The reason why he didn't think so at first was mainly because Dongjiang Automobile was a customer that Duan Yu was striving for, and if something went wrong, it would have a great impact on Duan Yu's own advertising performance, so he was not suspicious.

But at this moment, it suddenly occurred to me that some people in this world would rather make heavy sacrifices to achieve their goals in order to fight their opponents. Dongjiang Automobile Group was offended, and Duan Yu will certainly lose advertising performance, but he has no responsibility. All responsibility will be borne by Wu Mian, the direct "perpetrator".

"Wouldn't it?" Duan Yu's voice seemed surprised, "Both questions were sent to me by email from the secretary of Dongjiang Automobile...... By the way, I just forwarded that email to your mailbox, did you see that?"

"Nope. You didn't even tell me, how did I know you forwarded the email? Then I'll check it now and see what's going on!"

After Wu Mian hung up the line, he opened his laptop, checked his mailbox on the Internet, and sure enough, he saw an email transferred by Duan Yu. Clicking on it to take a look, he suddenly realized that he had indeed been put on the spot this time.

The two questions in the email are completely different from what Duan Yu said, one is to ask about the energy-saving and environmental protection characteristics of new electric vehicles, and the other is to ask about the future market development strategy.

This was Duan Yu's elaborate conspiracy - first pretending to reconcile, and lowering his posture to ask Wu Mian for help, which made him relax his vigilance and ask two fake questions in a daze, and then tricked Wu Mian into opening the email.

Originally, if the two confronted each other in front of Qianrou, because the relay of the question was carried out over the phone, both parties were "unfounded". But now, Duan Yu can be sure that he has already forwarded the email to Wu Mian, so it is impossible for him to be wrong. Since the email in Wu Mian's mailbox shows the status of "read", it means that he has read the content, and he cannot prove that he only saw the correct question after the fact.

The more Wu Mian thought about it, the more annoyed he became, jumped up and strode out, and drove back to the newspaper office.

He walked directly to the president's room, and when he was about to reach the door, he heard Duan Yu's voice coming from inside: "...... It could have been 500,000 advertisements! Xiao Wu made such a mess, alas, the loss was too heavy......"
