Chapter 54 Knowing you're busy, I came all the way to pick you up...

Chapter 53

"Is that a Bugatti Veyron parked downstairs? Or is it the Hermes color scheme? I just saw someone get out of the car and into the elevator. Holy crap, he's tall and handsome, just like a celebrity. If any company can sign such a top-tier guy, I guarantee he'll become an overnight sensation."

Liu Ning, who won last place in this "Who's Buying Coffee" rock-paper-scissors contest, carried two large bags of coffee, exclaiming "Oh my god!" repeatedly, her tone revealing a hint of gossip. Upon hearing this, several younger planners in the office began to gather around the window.

This office building has fifty floors and is mostly occupied by various self-media companies. It's not uncommon to see luxury cars parked downstairs. After all, there are quite a few well-known MCM companies in this building, and each of them has two or three big shots with super strong financial resources.

Bugatti cars are common, but the Hermès-colored Bugatti Veyron, of which only two are made worldwide, is not.

Which ambitious woman hasn't dreamed of luxury cars, mansions, and handsome young men in the passenger seat?

Editor Xiao Zhang, with his long neck stretched out, looked on with envy, saying, "I dreamt about this tonight. Before I'm reincarnated in my next life, I'll recite the Cadillac Hermes color scheme a hundred times."

"Bugatti Veyron Hermès color scheme".

Her expression was just like Ma Li in the movie, reciting the Hermès Kelly orange lychee pattern.

“Say it a thousand times, it won’t help. Do you think this is a movie? I’ve sent you the video that needs editing. Finish your work before you start daydreaming,” Xia Zhiyu yawned, leaning casually against the glass door. “Ningning, give me a strong Americano.”

"And how much did the coffee cost last night and today? I'll reimburse you."

Liu Ning cheered, "Sister Xia is so generous!"

The atmosphere in Yu Xia's studio is great, mainly thanks to the work habits Xia Zhiyu developed in the Huawan team system. When she rotated through several teams, the team led by Jiang Zhiyan had the highest work efficiency and the best quality.

Jiang Zhiyan's main approach to being a boss is to strike a balance between strictness and leniency. You can actually tell a lot about a leader's character just by looking at his employees' work attitude. Although Xia Zhiyu was dissatisfied with Hua Wan for various reasons at the time.

However, it must be admitted that Hua Wan's salary level and benefits are absolutely top-notch in the current market environment. Excluding the one-year internship period for lawyers, her monthly salary after becoming a licensed lawyer is definitely commensurate with her hard work.

Working hard is all about earning money. When Yu Xia was going through its toughest time, Xia Zhiyu was willing to borrow money to pay her employees' salaries. Because of this, very few employees have left Yu Xia since its establishment, and the company has a good reputation in the industry.

Xia Zhiyu, who had stayed up half the night in the office, walked out of the office with dark circles under her eyes. As soon as she stepped out, she saw her few good boys, who were trying to slack off while their boss was working, all standing by the window daydreaming.

Self-media work offers flexible hours, and it's not uncommon to have a long break of more than half a month when things are quiet. However, the price to pay is that if any unexpected events occur, you can be working non-stop all night long.

Yesterday afternoon at six o'clock, Xia Zhiyu was comfortably lying on the sofa at home, enjoying the air conditioning and scrolling through her phone when she received a frantic call from Liu Ning. Liu Ning usually manages the company's verified social media accounts, so she immediately noticed that people were suddenly starting to stir up trouble in the comments section, saying that an internet celebrity incubated by Yu Xia was unscrupulous in accepting advertisements, not only charging a high price of 200,000 yuan for 60 seconds of work, but also not doing a good job in copywriting and storyboarding, and even posting a lot of chat logs.

The spread of this kind of negative information on the Internet was as fast as a rocket launch. In no time, many so-called righteous people appeared to criticize Yu Xia in the comments. They not only posted their rebuttals, but also began to passionately insult her on the official Weibo accounts of various social media platforms. Xia Zhiyu's early videos were dragged out and discredited, and many facts were fabricated out of thin air.

The anger of netizens was ignited by the unfairly high income of so-called self-media practitioners, and eventually even evolved into the distortion of social values ​​and the values ​​of young people by the influencer industry chain. For a time, public sentiment was high and keyboards were pounding.

Several brands that had just agreed on a cooperation schedule immediately sent messages to postpone the cooperation.

With wolves in front and tigers behind, the short fifteen minutes felt like a disaster struck Yu Xia. All the still-awake colleagues in the work group were discussing emergency plans, and everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Xia Zhiyu had never encountered such a large-scale trust collapse crisis in her own studio, but she had seen how Jiang Zhiyan handled public opinion crises, and the emergency plan PowerPoint presentation was still saved on her computer.

What her ex-boyfriend left her was not only stock prices that appreciated exponentially, but also countless work experiences and the self-awareness and self-discipline that a leader should have.

Xia Zhiyu immediately arranged an emergency meeting and issued a public relations statement in response. The statement was aimed at those online trolls who followed the trend and calmly and professionally stated that the company had never signed any contracts with inflated prices and that the so-called chat records had been edited and forged.

The statement was devoid of emotion, insults, or excessive explanation; it simply conveyed the message that "we are calm, we have evidence, and we are handling the situation."

Following this, Xia Zhiyu spent a large sum of money to purchase several influential Weibo and Xiaohongshu marketing accounts to redirect public opinion, focusing on the mountain girls' aid project that Yu Xia had been working on, in order to establish a positive image.

Xiao Zhang quickly contacted the person in charge of the area that received the funding, and together with the village party secretary, they produced a video. The video quickly attracted a wave of positive attention from passersby after it was released.

Meanwhile, the verified (blue V) team members were each monitoring multiple screens, guiding the comment section, filtering keywords, and blocking accounts that stirred up trouble. They had to act decisively and not let public opinion fester. Otherwise, even if this was indeed a case of competitors smearing each other, no one knew what might happen if the public opinion was allowed to continue.

During this period, immediately convene the team to find out where the chat logs came from, whether the brands that have recently cooperated with them have been affected, and whether a joint statement needs to be issued to explain.

Based on her years of legal experience, Xia Zhiyu quickly preserved all the original evidence and made sure that the opposing party was up to something just before the weekend. After confirming that the incident was caused by the opposing party, Xia Zhiyu took the evidence and went with the business team to find the brand to stabilize the client and ensure that the main storyline would not fall apart.

Taking advantage of the studio's recent surge in popularity, Liu Ning quickly produced a "behind-the-scenes video" showcasing the dedication of Yu Xia's staff to every video they produced. The video dates back more than half a year, making it impossible for it to be faked.

She had originally recorded these tender details about Yu Xia, intending to share them at the annual meeting to move everyone, but they ended up coming in handy now.

One thing after another, Xia Zhiyu was busy like a spinning top, and finally stabilized the situation in the middle of the night. Several sharp-eyed early fans of Xia Zhiyu also noticed that there were obvious signs of editing and splicing in the chat screenshots, and even some of the amounts that appeared at different times did not match.

The logical reasoning ability of modern netizens is simply divine. Xia Zhiyu quietly bought traffic for these fans' posts.

After the situation stabilized, it was already 5 a.m.

Xia Zhiyu waved her hand generously, "Come on, let's have breakfast. Let's see which restaurants are still open, and we'll have a meal at a rate of one thousand per person."

The emotion is beyond words. The emergency response was handled in a very well-organized manner. The plan to sponsor girls in mountainous areas was proposed by Xiao Zhang, the behind-the-scenes stories were recorded by Liu Ning, and the chat screenshots were found by everyone working together to find the source of the information frame by frame.

After this emergency, everyone at the dinner table became noticeably closer, and the conversation became increasingly stimulating, ranging from family backgrounds to life ideals. After a couple of drinks, the topic veered off-topic into romantic experiences.

"Sister Xia, you've only dated one guy???"

Liu Ning's expression was exactly the same as Xia Zhiyu's roommate's when she heard that Xia Zhiyu had never been in a relationship.

However, Xia Zhiyu's mindset was different now. She raised her index finger and shook it mysteriously twice. Perhaps because she had experienced great joy and sorrow and stayed up all night, her mind was obviously very foggy.

"Whether it's talking about men or sleeping with men, quality is more important than quantity. It's better to talk about one top-quality man than eight mediocre ones."

How exceptional is it?

The ex's character, a woman's pride—Xia Zhiyu smiled faintly.

"He is rich, capable, handsome, has a good physique, is loyal and good in bed. In terms of appearance alone, he can be considered one of the top human beings."

...

The memory was interrupted, and the office was quiet. The man with the most refined appearance and polite demeanor walked in.

Wearing a custom-made black suit with subtle patterns, Jiang Zhiyan exuded a high-fashion runway vibe. His short hair was combed back, revealing his handsome, flawless features. His tall stature and deep bone structure gave him a subtle mixed-race look, and his mature masculine charm was undeniable.

His gaze, as if guided by a telescope, instantly landed on Xia Zhiyu, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses, had messy hair, and was wearing a teddy bear print pullover.

In the blink of an eye, the glacier melted and a spring breeze caressed her face. Jiang Zhiyan waved her phone, smiled softly, and

"I know you're busy and probably don't have time to check messages, so I came to pick you up."
