Chapter 22: A New Beginning
The next morning, I woke up early, made breakfast for myself for the first time since returning to Suzhou, and sat down at my customary table seat, rummaging through the financial news in the United States on my mobile phone while eating breakfast.
It's been almost a month, I haven't seen the news about Mi Cai on the news, in Yan Zhuomei's group, she is indeed just a little-known assistant to the director of the R&D department, I was a little lost, put down the chopsticks in my hand, and then looked at the balcony where there were no plants, last winter, Mi Cai and I moved all the plants that had been raised for a long time back to Xuzhou, we thought we would live in Xuzhou for a long time.
While it was still early, I rushed to a nearby market selling flowers and trees, bought the varieties of flowers and plants that I had raised again from memory, and then moved to the sunny position on the balcony, and stood and watched for a while, and my heart also had a lot of anticipation, looking forward to the growth of these flowers and plants.
At 8 o'clock, I put on my business suit, went to the hairdresser to get my hair done, and then drove neatly to the hotel where the press conference was held, and I passed by the shopping mall, which had been officially renamed the "Vincennes Group", and the car was blocked, because the renaming ceremony was accompanied by another huge promotion that drove the city's shoppers into a frenzy and paralyzed traffic near the Vincennes shopping center.
On the back of the platform is a huge LCD screen, showing consumers the results of this shopping mall over the years, and at the same time there is a short video commemorating Jumei, I heard that all the senior management of Vinson will participate in this renaming ceremony today, because it is an important turning point in the history of Vincent Group.
It took me almost half an hour to complete the road, and in fact, the hotel where we were holding the press conference was not far from the Vincennes Group, and I found a parking space and walked straight to the venue set up in the hotel.
At this moment, the press conference has not yet been held, I quickly circled around the venue, and then took over the walkie-talkie from the assistant's hand, asking each unit to fine-tune the details of the scene layout.
I found Chen Jingming, who was also busy, and asked him, "Mr. Chen, how many media can be determined to be present today?" β
"100% of the people who have agreed in advance can be present, but these media are mainly entertainment media, and their concern for you and Le Yao is probably higher than the project of the road of literature and art, you have to be mentally prepared for this, although we have already said hello to those entertainment media, don't involve personal issues, but it is difficult to ensure that some media with insufficient self-restraint will ask some embarrassing topics."
"Don't worry, I can handle this."
Chen Jingming nodded, then looked at the time, and said, "When the time is up, I asked the staff to invite the media to appear." β
"Hmm."
After Chen Jingming left, I went to the guests' lounge, thanked them one by one, and finally went to the lounge where Zhang Yixi and An Qi were, because I was more familiar and had a good relationship, I didn't knock on the door and walked in, but I saw An Qi helping Zhang Yixi change his belt, probably disgusted that Zhang Yixi didn't match well, but this action is really easy to reverie, I teased, deliberately asked with a frightened expression: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. An, you are early in the morning, what are you two doing?" β
Angel first turned red, then reproduced her fierce style, and said to me: "Zhaoyang, give you three seconds to retreat outside the door, and then knock on the door with a proper attitude and come in, otherwise, don't blame me for rewarding you with a high heel!" β
Zhang Yixi glanced at me, I looked at An Qi again, only to feel that her combat value was about to explode, the lounge was filled with a dangerous atmosphere, and hurriedly retreated to the door, then knocked on the door, and said with a correct attitude: "Mr. An, Mr. Zhang, I am here to ask the two of you to say goodbye, is it convenient to come in now, or will I wait, uh, but don't let me wait too long, at most five minutes Mr. Zhang, is five minutes enough?" The launch event is about to start! β
An Qi's fierce voice came from the lounge again: "Zhaoyang, if you want to talk more yin and yang, let me die a little farther"
I smiled, pushed the door open and walked in, and then cheekily sat down on the sofa, in fact, I was relatively relaxed when I was with this couple, probably because similar experiences gave us a lot of common thoughts and language.
I asked my assistant to bring us three cups of coffee, and then Zhengse chatted about business matters, I once again expressed my gratitude to Anqi, if it wasn't for Tianyang Group to take over the industry of Wenyi Road in Yangzhou, I would not have solved the debt crisis of Simei Advertising so easily.
Angel obviously didn't take this money too seriously, she very strictly warned me and Zhang Yixi to pursue economic benefits appropriately when doing the project of the road of literature and art, rather than blindly pursuing humanistic feelings and brand reputation, in her business philosophy, there is no loss-making project in this world that can survive for a long time, especially a large-scale project like the road of literature and art, she doesn't want me and Zhang Yixi to have an idealistic impulse, and finally make this project a drag on our career!
I know how powerful this woman is, so I didn't refute her point of view, just told sΓΉ her, in the later stage, we will do some derivative products around the project of literature and art, and use derivative products to achieve profits, she nodded, changed the topic and asked me about Mi Cai's recent situation, I can only tell her with some helplessness, I don't know anything about Mi Cai's current situation, she sighed again, blamed me for doing it, I and Mi Cai were completely made by me today, I felt a little sad, some self-blame, But this qiΔ in front of me is more like a fate, even if I don't leave from the wedding, Yan Zhuomei will not lightly fulfill me and Mi Cai together, and Jian Wei will not escape from this bad luck, the good and bad in these years are still the same as always!
The media conference was held at the originally set time, and Zhang Yixi and I sat in the center of the interview seat to accept the media's interviews in turn, because I got my instructions in advance, and the priority interviews with us were all financial media, including some sharp questions, such as questioning whether the source of project assets before the road of literature and art was legal, and questioning the investment motives of the new investors, but these did not stump me and Zhang Yixi, we easily resolved, this ease stems from our confidence in this project, And our own entrepreneurial style with a good attitude.
Compared with the strict sΓΉ of financial media, entertainment media are not so restricted, and an entertainment record who is obviously crawling in entertainment scandals asked me with a strong inquiring tone: "Mr. Zhao, the number we got from reliable sources shows that your company has created the highest number of fans on the first day after all domestic companies opened Weibo accounts, do you think this phenomenon of popularity is related to Le Yao's great help?" β
I smiled and replied: "This reporter, you don't need to turn around and ask this question, if you want to ask me what the relationship between me and Le Yao is, I will definitely answer you very sincerely!" β
Yu Ji's face was a little embarrassed, and there was a burst of laughter at the scene, and I encouraged him to ask boldly with the most fearless Yu Ji spirit, and Yu Ji finally asked again: "An insider broke the news, saying that you were Le Yao's boyfriend before she became famous, and she had deep feelings for you, so she still spared no effort to help you after she became famous, is this revelation true?" β
With such a question, the sound of taking pictures on the spot came and went, and even those originally high-end financial reporters couldn't wait to pick up an explosive news related to Le Yao on me.
Still with a public smile, I replied, "Who is this insider?" β
"This one involves privacy, and it's not convenient for me to reveal his name here!"
"If you reply to me like this, I can't cooperate with answering your question, you really reminded me, in fact, this is also the privacy between me and Le Yao! We should all abide by the principle of not doing unto others as you would have them do unto you, right? β
Yu Ji was dumbfounded for a while, and I said: "Actually, you really don't need to worry too much about this issue, we are just pure friends to help, I really implore you to be able to raise your noble hand; Here, I also want to ask you to cooperate with me once, as a friend to play a little trick on Le Yao, I think, she will also pay attention to this media conference, if the whole press conference is only around the project of the road of literature and art, and there is no messy news about her, she will be shocked! Then I thought to myself: the current media is really professional, in fact, it is just a well-intentioned prank from friends! β
The reporters on the scene were silent, especially those who were not afraid of big things, they were so ridiculed by me for having no professionalism, but they had no power to parry
Immediately, I motioned to my assistant to play a VCR that I specially called Cao Jinfeilu in advance to congratulate the resumption of the road of literature and art, and he has always referred to me as a brother in the VCR, which made the entertainment reporters even more speechless, after all, we are all harmonious, and it is really not interesting for them to fan the flames in order to create news.
Before the end of the press conference, another reporter asked me to sing that song on the spot, last night I improvised "Don't say goodbye on the road to Mochou", I was very happy to accept, in front of this group of media sang the thoughts of Mi Cai, the feelings of the Mo Chou Road, I thought: If Mi Cai can see it, it will definitely understand, this song is just sung to her
The press conference ended an hour later, and I stood on top of the hotel and never left, just leaning down to look at the renaming ceremony being held at Zhuomei, as if I saw a new starting point in our lives, Fang Yuan and I each ushered in a new starting point in our lives, our business confrontation will be inevitable, one day I will tell him: what does not belong to him, he will not take anything away!
