Chapter 271: Another Shock
At the beginning of May, S City quickly entered the sprint rhythm before the Olympics, and various projects were completed and accepted. Large areas of artificial turf were quickly transplanted. Flowers quickly decorate the makeup of S City, too.
Harmony and joy became the theme of the city. All gloom and uneasiness were swept into the corners.
As if to cater to this atmosphere, Bank H held its own press conference.
Unlike other financial institutions, foreign banks have a degree of freedom and fresh news topics.
The media who came over one after another seemed to smell a hint of smell, and with the sensitivity of their profession, the media people already knew that Bank H had made an astonishing move. They definitely want to build momentum, but they don't know the specific content of the campaign.
When the account director of Bank H announced that Bank H would re-implement the strategic cooperation agreement with Lingyun Company, and that Bank H's fund was ready to take over the temporarily frozen surrendered shares, the entire media industry was completely shocked.
"May I ask Mr. Director, what made your bank make such a repeated decision? The investigation organized by the city government has not yet reached a final conclusion, so aren't you worried that you will end up with losses that you can't afford? "A media outlet made the voice of the media when it was free to ask questions.
"Since we have chosen Lingyun, we have to share the risk with our customers. We have done so deliberately. As a bank with a national reputation, we are willing to lead by example. In the process of integrating into China's economic tide, we must cherish our reputation. Since we have chosen customers, we should be with them through thick and thin. And, we believe in our customers. We believe in their morality. We value our credibility more than profit. Please also ask the media to believe in Lingyun Company. They are a responsible business. The truth will return Lingyun Company's innocence. John shyly showed off his charms on his belly.
"May I ask Mr. Director, is your bank already aware of the results of the investigation team? So you made your choice. Another enthusiastic media voice was accompanied by a strong flickering glow.
"I have no comment on that. We are not the spokesmen of the government. We just rely on our own judgment. I can only tell you journalist friends that we are ready to bear all the consequences together with Lingyun Company. We chose trust. We have also chosen our own responsibilities. That's my answer, and it's a solemn promise from a century-old bank. John put on an unfathomable look, and also showed the proud demeanor of a famous company.
There was a buzz, and John was pleased with the effect.
"Excuse me, is your bank ready to take advantage of this crisis of Lingyun Company to occupy the shareholder position of Lingyun Company. Is your bank taking advantage of the opportunity to try to change its business strategy in China? A voice raised.
"Huh! Whether we take advantage of this opportunity or not, there is one thing you cannot doubt is that such a thing requires great courage. It is more necessary for an enterprise to show sincerity. If Lingyun doesn't need us, we won't meddle in their shares. We're just endorsing them. Fellow journalists, in the matter of Lingyun Company, we only have to pay. Only noble. Because we value our customers. Please understand our actions correctly. John burst out laughing, and his pride was raised.
"Excuse me, is your bank's intention to hold the shares of Lingyun Company for business needs or for speculation?" Questions are thrown as sharply as voices.
"In the stock market, speculation is not a pejorative term. Speculation attracts investors who are eager to do so. As you all know, the international financial crisis is going on, and we have also been affected by it. But we are willing to do our best to help our customers get through this difficult time. Our investment in Lingyun is a moral support. As for the final result, it depends on future developments. I believe that Lingyun's stock is a potential stock. You will definitely have a surprise when you buy Lingyun shares. Thank you! This concludes the press conference. Thank you, friends from the media. ”
The discussion gradually became enthusiastic, and the applause gradually rang out in a staggered manner. John became more and more satisfied with the effect of his manufacture in the flickering of the spotlight.
Walking back to his office with a relaxed pace, John muttered for a moment before dialing his phone.
"Kevin. I've lived up to my promises. Don't let me down. Also, I invite Miss Su out for a light meal, I hope to communicate with her in person. I want to make sure she's free, that she's not tainted by you. John gritted his teeth and poured out his disdain.
The other party's hearty and comfortable laughter came from the mobile phone. John seemed to be able to see the insolent smile that was blooming on that handsome face.
When Lu Kaiwen rushed into the warehouse office, he felt the suffocating silence here. I felt the faint depression in the quiet.
"Mr. Lu is good! …… Mr. Lu is good! The two men sitting at the table stood up in a panic.
"Hello! Is Su Qing here? Lu Kaiwen's eyes searched, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the warehouse inside.
"Su ...... She's in it. She didn't want to come out, and we couldn't persuade her. Wang Dewen had a bitter look on his face.
"You're busy. Don't mind her. After all, it was too sudden. This one makes you ...... It's good to adapt. Kevin Lu smiled almost wryly with a sneer.
He was greeted by two meaningful, awkward smiles.
The faint musty smell and the smell of engine oil mixed together made Lu Kaiwen couldn't help but cover his nose, and he quickly put down his hand.
Through the shelves, he could see the girl in the corner.
The girl was still holding the magazine and reading it with relish.
Sitting down on the stool next to the girl, Kevin Lu was reluctant to break the silence.
"I never wanted to read these women's and fashion magazines before, but recently I found that these magazines are still very interesting." The girl didn't look away from the magazine, but she spat out a leisurely tone.
"Why?" Kevin Lu tried to keep his words as concise as possible. He suddenly liked such quiet, such a corner.
"Almost all activity in the company has stopped. Although the project was in the interior renovation stage, we were forced to stop and wait for the results of the investigation. There is nothing to do in our warehouse. Once I had some free time, I finally had time to read these magazines to pass the time. When I really looked at it, I realized that women can be so beautiful. It turns out that beauty can be so ever-changing. I also finally realized that I am not a qualified woman. I used to be so small and ordinary. The girl was almost talking to herself.
Kevin Lu didn't answer, he was not capable of answering such a thing. He made what he thought was the smartest choice.
"A small magazine can upend a woman's outlook on life. It seems that I still live too self-righteously. I'm going to learn, spend the rest of my life learning how to be an attractive woman. The girl continued with her feelings.
Kevin Lu smiled bitterly. He strengthened his heart more and more. Silence remained until the girl herself shifted from the topic.
"Why don't you speak? Do you also think that I am inferior to the woman in the magazine? Do you think I'm not feminine? Do you also think I'm too ugly? The girl suddenly turned her head, and she stared at the stiffening face beside her.
Kevin Lu reached out and rubbed his face.
"Baby. I never read these women's magazines. Besides, a woman loses her true color after putting on makeup. It's all the same expression. Sorry, I don't have any research on this. I never thought you needed to read these magazines, you are the most beautiful in my eyes. "Kevin Lu has tried to remain steadfast.
"Hypocrisy! Spare you. I feel sorry for you when you look like this. The girl finally gave up the provocation and turned her attention back to the magazine.
Relaxation is followed by a burst of boredom. Lu Kaiwen pondered.
"Ahem. That one...... Baby, it looks like you should consider getting out of here. Kevin Lu squeezed out the dry wording.
"I know. But I still don't know how to adapt to what happened. I'm just hiding here, and I can hide for a day. The girl replied to her boyfriend's nervousness without looking up.
Lu Kaiwen exhaled a long breath from his chest. It's off to a good start.
"But you're going to get into a new role. Dodging is not the way to go. You've always been brave, and you're going to do a great job this time too. All your colleagues are waiting for you to bring the company into a new era. Kevin Lu remained cautious.
The girl looked up, and she looked up at the ceiling, where cobwebs were faintly formed.
"But I'm not ready. Snatching something from someone else always makes me feel uneasy. Once I walked out, once I accepted the arrangement. I'm just a vile and sinister villain. I believe that I no longer have peace of mind. I didn't belong here, I was going to be a passer-by. But now I have to get stuck in this quagmire. I...... Unwilling. The girl's tone became more and more ethereal. Elongated echoes also seem to wander between the shelves.
Lu Kaiwen's heart twitched violently, and he subconsciously covered his chest.
Silence re-permeated the entire inner storehouse, the smell of oil and mildew.
"Don't blame yourself like that. Now that you have been chosen, whether it is a conspiracy or not, you should accept it calmly. After all, you saved the company. After all, you carry the hopes of hundreds. Sometimes, growth comes at a cost. Compared to many people, you are lucky. Because you can do a lot of things that others want to do but can't. Don't worry, we'll be there for you. Kevin Lu continued in a dry tone. He felt the bitterness in his throat.
"Alas! How so? Why should I accept such an arrangement? What right does she have to impose her will on me? And him, why do I have to face his eyes? None of them deserve it, but I have to accept it. TM, what's going on? The girl stared hatefully at the roof, staring at the cobwebs.
“…… Well, none of them are good. But your colleagues need you. Lingyun needs you. Lu Kaiwen felt greater sourness and greater self-blame in his heart.
"It's more of an excuse, and you always need a nice excuse to steal someone else's stuff. I'm still down to this point. I'm getting more and more like them. The girl's tone gradually became tactful and helpless.
Kevin Lu is also gradually recovering.
"Alright. Look at your uncomfortable look. You're getting less and less the way you used to be. I suspected you were playing tricks. Alas! Looks like I'm wrong about you. Su Qing finally lowered her eyes and looked at the people around her.
A bitter smile floated irrepressibly, and Lu Kevin regained his composure.
"Maybe it's time for me to get out of here. They've been having a hard time. I'm here, and they're at a loss. I became the one who embarrassed others. Su Qing sighed again.
Lu Kaiwen's calm heart shook again, and he had emotions that he had never had before.
That's at a loss, that's helplessness, and it's deep self-blame.
I am embarrassing the girl, and I am making the girl transform.
However, this does not seem to be the destination that the girl wants. It doesn't seem to make the girl happy.
Herself is forcing the girl to do what she doesn't want to do, and she's more of a jerk herself.
