The online denunciation then turned into a boycott, with conservationists making a special trip to the Ritz's headquarters and resorts to protest animal cruelty. People who had booked holiday rooms earlier also called to ask to check out.

The situation also affected the share price of Ritz in the Hong Kong market, which had to apply for a temporary suspension because of the volatility.

Things have come to this point, and Anxi can't be in a hurry. It is estimated that Xu Mingzhu is also busy dealing with the criticism of shareholders and management, and she can't spare time to yell at her for a while. She arranged for her colleagues to make a detailed response plan and send it over, waiting for the management of Ritz to decide on the next move.

It happened that Cheng Yifei called and wanted to meet with her to talk about the city wall bricks, and Anxi readily agreed, thinking that he could go once and find an excuse for himself not to lay a foundation next time.

The location that Cheng Yifei chose was a Western restaurant in a five-star hotel, and this restaurant has a branch in Europe and is a three-star Michelin star. Although this domestic one did not participate in the Michelin evaluation, the quality of the dishes is still guaranteed. Looking at the place he chose, you know that he still has a lot of experience in eating.

When Anxi arrived, Cheng Yifei had already arrived first, and when he saw her sit down, he said in his standard Beijing film: "What's the matter, this expression looks like I owe you eight million, as for it, eat with me and look like going to the grave?" Phew, it's not appropriate for me to say that. ”

She didn't want to complain to Cheng Yifei, but when she heard him raise her head, she immediately put the expression on her face more exaggerated: "Brother Yi, isn't it a mess for me, I really can't laugh." If I force a hard laugh, I'm afraid that it will scare you, and it will be more ugly than crying. As I said before, if you don't succeed in coming to see something, it will be invalidated, right? ”

Cheng Yifei smiled "heh": "If you really bring up your head to see me, I don't dare to accept it." He pushed the menu in front of An Xi: "Order something first, are you losing weight or eating normally?" ”

An Xi was about to answer casually, but suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this question: "Brother Yi, is there one less option for your question?" ”

"No matter how fat or thin you girls are, aren't you all yelling to lose weight all day long," Cheng Yifei suddenly realized after a little total, "Oh, I see, you want to turn your grief and anger into appetite, and eat openly, right, there's nothing wrong with it, blame me, I didn't consider this option." ”

He called a waiter and directly ordered a tomahawk steak for Anxi as the main course.

When the two-kilogram steak with bones and meat shaped like a tomahawk was placed in front of An Xi, her mood finally improved a little. Cheng Yifei asked casually, and she casually told Lisi about it.

"What's so difficult about this," Cheng Yifei slashed the silver cod in front of him with a knife and fork, "Even elementary school students know that they were caught copying their homework, it's nothing more than three explanations, one, I didn't do it, it has nothing to do with me." Second, I helped four old ladies cross the road last night, and I really don't have time to do my homework. Three, teacher, I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it next time. ”

An Xi pursed his lips, and was about to use his solid theoretical foundation to refute his superficial remarks, but suddenly found that in fact, what he said was right, generally to the point of a commercial scandal, left and right are inseparable from the three solutions of not admitting, finding scapegoats, and sincerely apologizing.

She couldn't help but tease: "Brother Yi, it's a pity for a talent like you to just build a house, if you open a public relations company, you will definitely be able to become one of the world's top 500 companies and listed on the New York Stock Exchange." ”

"That's," Cheng Yifei was not modest at all, "I am a cook, and I must be better than this......"

Only halfway through his boastful words, he was interrupted by An Xi's mobile phone ringtone, and Xu Mingzhu's name jumped on the screen. An Xi immediately became serious, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and picked it up uprightly: "Mr. Xu......"

Xu Mingzhu is a typical Hong Kong woman, who is strict and picky on weekdays, but when it was time to announce a bad result, she was kind. She told Anxi that the board of directors of the group had decided to terminate the contract with Ai Tian, and the matter of liquidated damages would be transferred to a well-known law firm in Hong Kong for handling. As for Hyde's side, Ritz also decided not to continue hiring.

An Xi had already expected that there might be such a day, so he naturally prepared to deal with it a long time ago: "Mr. Xu, I know that the decision of the board of directors of the group is difficult to change. However, I still have a small proposal, and I hope that Mr. Xu will consider it. My team and I will continue to provide PR services to The Ritz and from now on, we will no longer charge a fee. ”

"What about the conditions?"

"There is no need for Mr. Xu to do anything special, just to deal with the termination process, not too fast. I only need three months, if within three months, I can come up with a result that satisfies both Mr. Xu and the board of directors, I hope we can directly sign a five-year framework agreement, and within five years, the public relations service fee paid by Ritz to Hyde will increase by 20% per year. How is it? ”

Xu Ming on the phone was silent for a moment: "The termination process must also be handed over to the lawyer to prepare the agreement to terminate the cooperation, and it will take three months to go down normally." However, from now on, Ritz will no longer treat Hyde as a supplier and partner, nor will it provide any internal information to Hyde. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Xu." An Xi knew that this was already the maximum grace that Xu Mingzhu could give her within the scope of her authority.

Hung up the phone, Cheng Yifei immediately said: "It seems that this woman is more scary than me, I think you are not so serious about me." ”

"Brother Yi, you are different from her, you are a spring breeze and rain, and you convince people with virtue." An Xi responded to him casually, but he was thinking about his own business in his heart. Lisi is a customer, she must keep it, Lisi is no longer willing to give her any more convenience, and now she still has to find a way from Lu Zhongze first.
