The millennium bug did not bring the legendary disaster, and the millennium came. Gu Guoqiang likes the Year of the Dragon of the lunar calendar the most, and he always feels that the Year of the Dragon will definitely bring good luck and bring great events, although he himself is a monkey.

The company where Chen Fangyu works is in a period of chaos due to major changes, and it is said that it is going to be restructured and restructured. The general manager of that bureau was suspended from his post for review because he had made no achievements during his tenure, and would only spend all his time drinking and building friends. An investigation revealed that he had spent millions of dollars in public relations expenses, millions of dollars in famous nightclubs alone, and his relatives had spread to many important departments of the company and its branches, and even the company's two deputy general managers and five directors had many similar problems. The chaos of the company is intensifying, and it is highly likely that it will be dissolved, or at best merged with other state-owned enterprises. Chen Fangyu didn't want to be idle in the chaos, so she simply took a long leave to concentrate on taking care of the family, and they were already planning to have a baby.

Sitting behind Gu Guoqiang's wide desk, Chen Fangyu was drinking freshly brewed Pu'er tea while fiddling with various delicate trinkets on the table, and a clay puppet of the old birthday star with a big head caught her attention, because the old birthday star's robe was particularly red, so gorgeous that it was very eye-catching on the coffee-colored desktop. She picked up the old birthday star, looked at it flat in the palm of her hand, and when she gently swiped her fingers across the birthday star's head, she suddenly found that the old birthday star's two eyes lit up, and a gentle voice came out of the old birthday star's body:

"Is there something wrong, Fang Yu?" This is Feimeng's voice: "This is my communication phone with Guoqiang. ”

"It's okay, it's okay...... I just don't have anything to look at, I think this clay puppet is fun, you're busy, I'm fine, goodbye. Chen Fangyu hurriedly put the old birthday star back in place, patted his frightened chest, and muttered how he was so hidden.

The sudden knock on the door brought Chen Fangyu back to her senses, and she hurriedly combed her long hair back with her hand and said, "Please come in"

Gu Guoqiang's secretary Wang Xiaohui pushed the door and walked in and said to Chen Fangyu: "Mr. Naobu Sato, the general manager of the public relations company, is here, saying that there is an urgent matter to meet with General Manager Gu, because Mr. Gu is not here, I have asked him to wait in the conference room next to him for a while, Miss Chen is not the first to meet him, I see that he is very anxious, I am afraid that something important will be delayed." ”

Chen Fangyu pondered for a moment, she rarely participated in Gu Guoqiang's work, but it didn't matter if she chatted with someone: "Okay, then invite him here, Gu Guoqiang is estimated to be back soon." Looking at the back of Wang Xiaohui leaving, Chen Fangyu secretly thought in her heart that although this girl in her twenties was only four years younger than herself, she was obviously much more trendy and fashionable. It may also be that Gu Guoqiang is more kind-hearted, and the salary he gives is higher than that of his peers, so the employees are dressed very decently, especially the young people, the girls are all showy, and the boys are all heroic, Chen Fangyu was relieved when he thought of this, the advertising industry is naturally handsome and beautiful, and it is not a big deal.

Naobu Sato had already walked into the general manager's office that had not been closed at this time, walked up to Chen Fangyu and said, "Miss Chen, hello! Chen Fangyu also hurriedly stood up and stretched out his white hand, Sato shook it very gently Chen Fangyu's outstretched hand and immediately let go. They once met in Sato's office, because Gu Guoqiang once asked Chen Fangyu to accompany him to a banquet, and sat together in Sato's office for a while before leaving.

"Mr. Sato, please take a seat, is there something urgent, do you want to see Guoqiang?" Chen Fangyu said as she replaced the tea set next to her with ceramic and glass, she knew that Naobu Sato liked to drink Chinese tea, especially Anxi Tieguanyin.

Sato seems to be a little nervous, this is very abnormal, Gu Guoqiang once mentioned this person to Chen Fangyu, calmness and wit are Chen Fangyu's impression of Sato, but today, it is obvious that something big has happened.

"Yes, there is something very important...... Sato said again, his palms gently rubbing his knees, looking a little cramped and uneasy.

Chen Fangyu saw that Sato didn't want to say more, and he didn't want to ask deeply, but while making tea, he praised his Chinese for getting better and better and chatted with him about Japanese folklore, and when the crystal glass teacup was handed to Sato, he held the teacup and smelled it for a long time, as if he wanted to let the fresh taste of the tea soup dispel his chaotic mind. Chen Fangyu looked at Sato on the other side of the desk and became a little worried, what is there that makes Sato so uneasy?

At this time, Gu Guoqiang's driver Sun Li walked into the office with a golf club cart, he saw two people in the office a little surprised, and said while greeting him, "Mr. Gu will come up soon, he is now in the advertising agency on the third floor." With that, he hurriedly put the club cart in the corner before and walked out.

Chen Fangyu put down the teacup in his hand, smiled and said to Sato: "Mr. Sato, I'll go down to say hello and leave first, you sit down for a while, this cup of tea is not cold, it's time to drink it quickly." After Chen Fangyu finished speaking, she picked up the small satchel she was carrying next to her and walked out lightly.

Naobu Sato saw Gu Guoqiang walking in quickly, and hurriedly stood up, Gu Guoqiang waved his hand while putting the cap on the coat rack, poured a cup of tea that Chen Fangyu had just made, sat on his chair and asked, "What's wrong Sato, what's going on?" ”

Naobu Sato straightened his blue dark striped tie, and the newly fashionable wide tie knot was twisted by him, and Sato began to recount what had happened:

It turned out that more than two months ago, a customer director of the public relations company in charge of Sato received a large client, and this client was a real estate company in Shanghai, which is a real estate company specializing in high-end residential development, and the budget for public relations expenses was also huge. Because the income form of a public relations company is completely different from that of advertising and media companies, advertising and media companies rely on volume to win, and the client's budget is also large, while the public relations company generally relies on high profits to make money, because the client's budget is generally relatively small, and a public relations budget of millions is already a big customer, and this real estate company has a public relations budget of tens of millions across the year, and Naobu Sato naturally wants to identify it as a key development and maintenance customer.

With the deepening of the cooperation between the two sides, everything is going well, the total amount of nearly 60 million national key cities cross-year public relations promotion plan has been determined, the contract was signed last week, Gu Guoqiang has attended the contract signing ceremony. Subsequently, the other party quickly paid the contract deposit and the cost of several activities in the early stage, and Sequans held a grand celebration for this purpose, and promoted the account director to the director of the customer group. But just yesterday, the lawyer of the real estate company sent a formal lawyer's letter to Sequan, claiming that Sequan's public relations had fraudulently obtained a huge cooperation contract, demanding that the contract be cancelled and that the resulting economic losses and time losses totaling 150 million yuan be compensated. Naobu Sato was shocked when he received the lawyer's letter, because it meant that the public relations company would definitely lose money in the next five years, and if it was not strong, it would go bankrupt this year.

Sato immediately convened a meeting of senior executives to investigate the contents of the fraud pointed out in the letter from the opposing lawyer. The so-called fraud mainly refers to the part of the strategic plan provided to the other party, the survey data, and the resulting sales estimate and cost budget, which also has legal effect because the plan is stipulated as an annex to the contract. After investigation, several data were indeed incorrect, and they were obviously inconsistent with the official statistics issued by the other party. In fact, this kind of thing is very common, because of the relationship of interests, advertising and public relations companies often choose to use data that is beneficial to themselves, although Sato advocates that the data used should be timely and accurate, and the data release channel should be authoritative, but in the face of such a large contract, he will not check the simple data in the nearly 1,000-page proposal, this kind of thing itself is not the point, in his experience, this kind of thing is often there, usually the two sides will exchange opinions and then make corrections, generally will not affect the cooperation. But this incident was so unexpected that the other party directly sent a formal lawyer's letter, which is not like being able to negotiate a settlement, although the contract states that the two parties in the conflict should negotiate to settle it.
