Chapter 65: Can't Go Back to the Past

The VR fitting room APP is going very well, and the entrepreneurial team of the VR fitting room is all classmates from college.

The scene of them working day and night into the project reminded Lu Jiayi of the days when he and his team founded "Yishang", which was also so young and enthusiastic, and had a brute strength that didn't know the height of the sky. This made Lu Jiayi feel a lot more at ease about this investment.

Nearly two months have passed, and the project of the living hall has begun the final finish, and Lu Jiayi has to go to the construction site every day recently, and follow the person in charge of the company to accept it.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when they returned to the company from the construction site, and they were able to afford time to eat. The assistant was hungry all the time, and the two casually found a small restaurant to solve the problem of food and clothing.

The assistant has become more and more long-sleeved and good at dancing from the original upright boy, and Lu Jiayi also felt comforted when he listened to his well-organized analysis.

Lu Jiayi's chopsticks stretched out to a plate of fried seafood, and as soon as she caught it in her mouth, the fishy smell of seafood made Lu Jiayi sick to her stomach for a while.

As soon as Lu Jiayi gagged, the tear ducts were affected, and her eyes were lost, and the delicacies in front of her could no longer arouse her appetite.

Seeing that she had been gagging, the assistant was a little strange, and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Lu, what's wrong with you?" Uncomfortable? ”

Lu Jiayi frowned: "This dish, isn't it a little unfresh?" ”

The assistant took a piece of seafood and sniffed it: "It's good, isn't it?" He looked at Lu Jiayi and said, "You are probably too tired, you haven't slept well lately, and I don't have much appetite when I can't sleep well." ”

Lu Jiayi let out a thoughtful "um".

On the way home, the phone suddenly rang eagerly.

Lu Jiayi glanced at the name on the screen, it was her little assistant.

This little assistant is also a young man in his twenties, he has a lot of fun as soon as he gets off work, and he will never call if something big happens, and when he calls, Lu Jiayi couldn't help frowning.

Plugging in the headphones, as soon as the phone was connected, the assistant's chaotic voice had come from the earpiece.

"Mr. Lu! Something happened! Take a look at the news headlines right now! ”

When the car drove to the intersection and happened to encounter a red light, Lu Jiayi stepped on the brake, and his face gradually sank: "I'm driving, I can't see, what's wrong?" ”

The more the assistant spoke, the more panicked he became, and his voice trembled when he spoke: "The APP team in the VR fitting room was hung up with Gu Tingyu." ”

"What's going on?"

"There is a problem with the cloud database, and the cloud database has a big legal risk, which is a big bug, and the customer's data enters the cloud database, and there is no way to talk about data security protection. Now the cloud database has been hacked, and the personal privacy of a large number of customers has been compromised. Several of them are celebrities, and they have publicly stated on their social networks that their image and reputation have been tarnished, strongly condemning the company, and some have said that they want to file a complaint. ”

Gu Tingyu is now the largest investor in this company, and naturally it is difficult to escape everyone's criticism.

It was the first time for Lu Jiayi to make such a large amount of investment, but she didn't expect such a big thing to happen in less than two months.

"If there's a problem with the cloud database, why is it only breaking out now?"

"That team of college students, the legal awareness is relatively weak, there have been problems before, but they have been solved by private negotiations, this time they were hacked, and there were problems in a large area, so ......" The more the assistant said, the more scared he became: "Mr. Lu, the company has made such a serious decision-making mistake, and it is very likely that there will be problems with West's next venture capital, so our life hall ......"

After the red light passed, Lu Jiayi started the car again, with a calm expression.

"You calm down first, tell everyone to go back to the company for a meeting, and I'll be there right away."

Lu Jiayi couldn't help but speed up a few times, and when she got home, she picked up the document and turned around again.

When the door was closed, I happened to meet Yi Zecheng.

"Aren't you going on a business trip?" Lu Jiayi was a little surprised: "What's wrong?" ”

"You don't want to expand blindly." Yi Zecheng said: "Quickly withdraw from the VR fitting room project. ”

"Now I can't afford to retreat, something has happened." Lu Jiayi said: "Haven't you been following before?" ”

Yi Zecheng stared at Lu Jiayi seriously, his eyes were full of worry, and after a long time, he said word by word: "This is a set." ”

Lu Jiayi figured out Yi Zecheng's intention to stop her, she was very grateful for his concern for her, but at this moment, she couldn't help but say that she had withdrawn, the funds entered someone else's company, and venture capital was originally a risk.

"How do you know?"

Yi Zecheng's expression struggled a little, and he pursed his lips: "Because this is for Gu Tingyu." ”

Lu Jiayi didn't expect a technical project to have so much inside information: "What did you do?" What hackers and what celebrities, all arranged by you? ”

Lu Jiayi suddenly remembered a lot of things in his mind, such as the day he drank too much before, the day he talked about the "first lady", it turned out that he had been doing this game for so long, he was bent on dealing with Gu Tingyu, and as soon as Gu Tingyu's 2.5 billion funds were in place, he did it, and even whether there were many people like Lu Jiayi who followed the investment.

Thinking so, Lu Jiayi couldn't help but pull back the hand he caught, and the resistance of her body made her get a lot of goosebumps in an instant. She thought of the speed of fermentation of the news when this incident broke out, and couldn't help but ask him: "You still hate him?" Because of Lily? ”

"Not really."

"And why are you?"

"Lu Jiayi, he still holds the lifeblood of clothing e-commerce, and this day will come sooner or later."

Lu Jiayi knows that this is a cruel shopping mall, and she also knows that investment is full of risks of deception, and she can also accept her decision-making mistakes, and now that she is in prison, it is her fault for her lack of greed and eagerness to expand, she knows it.

But she never imagined that she made a wrong decision and entered into a trap set up by Yi Zecheng.

Yi Zecheng, her pillow person.

After that, what she had to face was the pressure of the broken chain of funds for the opening of the Life Hall, and because of West's questioning, she knew that she shouldn't blame Yi Zecheng, but it was indeed Yi Zecheng who caused all this, and she really didn't know how she should face him at this moment.

Lu Jiayi was physically and mentally exhausted, and waved his hand: "I'll leave first, and I'll go back to the company for a meeting, after all, such a big thing happened." ”

"There are too many follow-ups, I didn't know you wanted a piece of the pie too." Yi Zecheng frowned: "Lu Jiayi, you are too greedy!" This kind of big-money project is simply not something that a player of your level can follow. ”

Yi Zecheng's reprimand was heart-wrenching, and Lu Jiayi's chest was suffocated: "What's the use of talking about this now?" The people in the company are still waiting for me to have a meeting. ”

Lu Jiayi wanted to leave, but Yi Zecheng refused to let him. At this moment, the more Lu Jiayi behaved calmly, the more worried he became.

"The living hall will be shelved for half a year, and when the limelight passes, I will transfer funds to open it for you." When Yi Zecheng said this, he was obviously hesitant. His eyes were full of worry, and he had a bit of a resolute reluctance: "Lu Jiayi, I have been waiting for this opportunity for many years. ”

Lu Jiayi obviously knew how eager he was to replace Gu Tingyu and become the No. 1 e-commerce company in the clothing category. But in the same way, Yi Zecheng also knows how eager she is to turn the living hall from an idea into a reality.

Half a year's shelf, whether it is investment or opening, is no longer a matter of connecting to the capital chain. How many good projects have failed completely because the capital chain has been broken? She didn't doubt that Yi Zecheng would give her the capital chain, but half a year later, his investment became a "Pomeranian smile" ticket. And what about her? Become the cannon fodder of Yi Zecheng's dream to come true.

The collision of dreams and the entanglement of life, Lu Jiayi felt that this choice was too difficult.

Lu Jiayi's heart sank suddenly, she didn't know why she had such an uncomfortable emotion, and her hand subconsciously stopped on her lower abdomen.

She didn't even know what else to say to him at this moment.

"It's me who is too naΓ―ve, the king and the loser." Lu Jiayi smiled bitterly: "Yi Zecheng, you won." ”

……

Lu Jiayi drove all the way back to the company, with mixed feelings. The situation was sudden, the people from the company had not yet arrived, everyone was waiting in the conference room, and Lu Jiayi went back to the office first.

Lu Jiayi clasped her hands around her chest, no matter how nice she said, she never had a bottom in her heart. She paced slowly in the office and finally walked to the window.

Looking out the window, the night was falling, the clouds were thick, and only a faint moonlight could shine through the gaps, not even as dazzling as the neon lights of the city.

The eyes subconsciously glanced at the wall calendar on the office wall, which was printed and sent to employees during the company's New Year, and it was full of happy or shy smiles of colleagues.

It turned out, unconsciously, that she had been standing in this position for so long that it had become an indelible piece of history for this company.

She felt frustrated that making this wrong decision plunged the company into a deep crisis, but more importantly, she felt guilty for the hard work of her colleagues in the company.

Moving his gaze down, seeing the date, Lu Jiayi counted the days, the relatives who should have come, and it was really a long time late.

Lu Jiayi's physical condition has always been good, and her relatives can even arrive on time for a day or two every month, but this time she didn't come, and eighty percent of them won the prize. Some recent physical signals have also reminded her again and again.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, winning and losing, this is acceptable to Lu Jiayi. However, if you just enter an ordinary trap, you can avoid this person in the future, or even form a bond. But now? She fell into a business trap and became a fish in the pond, and the culprit, not only could she not stay away from him, but she was also pregnant with his child.

This life is really full of unexpectedness, and Lu Jiayi can't help but applaud her luck.

took a deep breath, looked at the time, pressed the assistant's inner line, and was still resolute.

"Meeting room preparation."

"I'm waiting, I'm almost there." The assistant already roughly knew the cause and effect, and was very worried: "Mr. Lu, are you okay?" ”

"Good." Obviously very tired, Lu Jiayi still showed full vitality: "We said okay, I want to be the right boss for you!" ”

The project of VR fitting room APP, in fact, was first in contact with Gu Tingyu, Gu Tingyu's Baisai is the whole station, using 3D modeling technology, it can help Baisai's millions of merchants quickly model, form a VR shopping ecosystem, and let online shopping enter a new era. However, Gu Tingyu's company has many shareholders and a complex process, and the team urgently needs funds for the next stage of research and development, so they found Yi Zecheng again.

Yi Zecheng is young, and he is a new era of e-commerce that has risen rapidly in a few years, and his interest in new technology is much higher than others. After coming into contact with the VR fitting room, he quickly expressed his willingness to invest. Knowing that Yi Zecheng was also interested, Gu Tingyu persuaded the shareholders with an iron fist and started a fight with Yi Zecheng.

This project is indeed worth investing in, and it is no wonder that Gu Tingyu is pressuring people with capital, and he is bent on grabbing the project from Yi Zecheng. The cloud database involves the privacy of customers, which is a loophole in the law, and Yi Zecheng's team was the first to discover this problem, and then Gu Tingyu's team also discovered it. But Gu Tingyu only wanted to suppress Yi Zecheng at that time, and he didn't even review the results of the VR fitting room team.

After continuing to follow up on the aftermath, Yi Zecheng's team believes that this seemingly solved problem is actually a huge hidden danger in the future.

Knowing that a customer had found the company to defend his rights because of a privacy leak, Yi Zecheng immediately had a plan. He spent money to suppress the customers who defended their rights, so that the entrepreneurial team and Gu Tingyu were unaware.

Yi Zecheng's secretary followed up on this matter throughout the whole process, knowing that Yi Zecheng wanted to use this loophole as a starting point to trip Gu Tingyu. More and more people are chasing this project, and at the peak, I heard that this young team talked about a total of nearly 4 billion financing, and Yi Zecheng's secretary was also faintly worried about this.

"Mr. Yi, is this feasible?" He asked Yi Zecheng worriedly: "We have now become their crisis public relations, will we be inseparable from it when the time comes?" ”

"So I asked you to do it in the name of their company."

"Gu Tingyu is also working with this project, and he can find the problem after a little checking."

Yi Zecheng smiled strategically: "He won't, because he is already immersed in the joy of winning me by an overwhelming margin." You have to know that no project is perfect, and we have to grasp this scale well, and we must make them feel that although this is a problem, it can be solved. ”

"Mr. Yi." The secretary was a little reluctant to speak: "This is the project team, all novices, it is a very enthusiastic team, I have been in contact with them, if you give time to continue the development, maybe it will really succeed." ”

Yi Zecheng understood the subtext of the secretary, maybe there is indeed a problem with this project, but it is not because Yi Zecheng wants to deal with Gu Tingyu, maybe it will not become a big problem, Yi Zecheng wants to deal with Gu Tingyu, it will hurt a young team and must not turn over.

Yi Zecheng paused and made up his mind: "Legal loopholes do exist, if they don't solve them now, they will always break out in the future." I really want to develop this project, maybe it will break out sooner and solve the problem faster. If this project is really a potential stock and solves Gu Tingyu, I will invest in them. ”

All development is carried out according to the script written by Yi Zecheng. The issue of privacy leakage broke out, and more than a dozen companies that followed Gu Tingyu's investment were originally secret, but now they are forced to surface. This also includes Lu Jiayi's company.

Lu Jiayi participated in the investment, which was Yi Zecheng's most unexpected, 100 million, that is almost all the liquidity of her company, this woman can always do things that he can't think of at all.

This negative incident fermented very quickly, as the leading boss in the industry, there are those who cooperate with Gu Tingyu, and there are those who compete with him. Gu Tingyu had a problem, some people supported it, and naturally some people fell into the ground.

Gu Tingyu realized that he had fallen for Yi Zecheng, and was anxious to get rid of the shares of this start-up company in order to maintain his reputation, and the price was amazing. As soon as the company's market value decreases, the shareholders who invest in it suffer.

In particular, Lu Jiayi invested almost all of her company's working capital, and the living hall will open next month, once the news of the suspension of venture capital spreads, there will be problems with attracting investment, and many contracts under negotiation may be aborted, and the loss is immeasurable.

The only way to turn the tide now is to have a well-funded company that can take this company down and do crisis public relations. But who will be the pick-up man at this time? It's not crazy again.

After a one-night meeting, Lu Jiayi's whole person was so tired that she felt that she had to breathe.

The assistant made her a cup of coffee, and she thought about it, so she changed it to a glass of orange juice.

In the next few days, Lu Jiayi squatted in various banks.

Even Gu Weisheng, who she didn't want to ask for the most, she had the cheekiness to look at him.

Gu Weisheng still has some affection for Lu Jiayi, no matter how ruthless she said in the past, he is still a little gentle towards her.

Lu Jiayi used the land of the living hall as collateral, and Gu Weisheng approved a large amount of loan, although it was not enough to support the opening of the living hall, but it was finally able to survive the recent difficulties.

Lu Jiayi is very grateful for this.

After receiving the notice of the loan approval, Lu Jiayi called Gu Weisheng.

A thousand words, and finally when they come to their mouths, there is only one sentence left.

"Thank you."

For a long time, Gu Weisheng just smiled lightly, and his voice was not big or small, seemingly calm, but there was a bit of bitterness that could not be concealed: "It's a pity that we can't go back to the past." ”

He sighed lightly, and finally said, "Lu Jiayi, all I can do for you is here." ”

Lu Jiayi didn't speak, but her throat was a little choked.

Lu Jiayi took a loan from Gu Weisheng, and the matter quickly reached Yi Zecheng's ears. originally thought that Yi Zecheng would find her to "rejuvenate the teacher and ask for guilt", but he didn't expect that he didn't mention this matter to Lu Jiayi at all.

Yi Zecheng went to Lu Jiayi for dinner several times, but Lu Jiayi didn't go to work under the pretext of not working.

She hadn't figured out what kind of expression she should use to face him.

It was learned from the news that Yi Zecheng went to Port City to open a multi-brand collection store under Evan.

Lu Jiayi also learned through the news that Yi Zecheng had unknowingly acquired more than 20 brands one after another, all kinds, from fast-selling to luxury, from women's clothing to children's clothing, with a complete range of categories.

This collection store opened this time, similar to . The group's business model is also an impact on the collection stores in Hong Kong City.

In the evening, Lu Jiayi sat in her office eating take-out ramen, even if it was just a bowl of ramen, she had to race against time, because half an hour later, she still had a few hours of rigid meetings.

Recently, her appetite has not been very good, but Lu Jiayi still forced herself to eat. As soon as he picked out two chopsticks, Yi Zecheng's call came.

Lu Jiayi looked at the name on the screen and picked it up for a long time.

More than half an hour of rest and meal time was spent answering the phone. So many things have happened, the two have not seen each other for a long time, and it is rare to be able to talk so calmly at this moment.
