Chapter 5 Public Relations
Zhao Shunian glanced at his watch. It was 7:15 in the evening, which was indeed abnormal. It was obvious that he was surprised.
Because every time at this time, his wife would spend money as if she was saying, "I'm going to spend all your money," and the cloakroom would welcome all kinds of "new guests."
Once, they had an argument, and she spent over 20 million yuan of his money in two hours in a fit of rage. If it was her money, even if it was only 2,000 yuan, she would feel bad, but she was ruthless when spending his money.
However, Zhao Shunian didn't pay much attention to it, simply considering it his wife's daily expenses. Compared to some wives who squandered money, traveled around the world, occasionally gambled big to give others a "surprise," or even secretly kept an obedient mistress for their own enjoyment, his wife was very well-behaved and had no bad habits. He could guess what she was doing every day without anyone reporting to her.
Regarding Yu Yin's unusual behavior, Zhao Shunian asked Qin He, "Why do you think she behaved like this?"
Qin He hesitated for a moment and then said, "It might be related to the rumors about you and Miss Xu Ronghao."
In reality, Zhao Shunian thought the matter was easy to resolve. He and Xu Ronghao had no improper relationship at all, but Yu Yin's reaction was unusual. If she made a few large purchases today, making him blew up, just to please her, then he wouldn't rush home and would deal with it in a couple of days. His current work was more important. But she didn't do that.
Then Qin He said, "My wife went for a physical examination today."
He felt that his boss was not the type to coax people, and he suspected that his wife was sick because of being angry.
Hearing this, Zhao Shunian tapped the table with his slender fingers, then quickly stopped and made a decision, "Is Wen Lufeng not here?"
Wen Lufeng is responsible for the public relations and external liaison of the general manager's office, and such matters are also handled by him.
Qin He said: "I left the office more than an hour ago."
"You contact him to find out the progress. He didn't handle it in time before, which allowed public opinion to ferment. I can let it go without further investigation. But yesterday and today, I gave him two days. If he still can't handle it well..." Zhao Shunian didn't say the rest of the words, but Qin He knew, and Wen Lufeng also knew what he meant.
There were still more than four hours until midnight. Qin He was about to go out and call Wen Lufeng when he heard Zhao Shunian tell him, "I need to be home before ten o'clock. You calculate the time."
Qin He finally agreed and left. He needed to tell the driver to wait for him and set a time. When it was almost time, he would go to the office to remind his boss to go home. As for Wen Lufeng, the time he had left was getting shorter and shorter.
After returning to his office, Qin He called Wen Lufeng.
Wen Lufeng was having dinner in a western restaurant, drinking and chatting with a beautiful woman he had just met. The distinctive ringtone of his work cell phone rang, and he almost couldn't hold the wine glass steady. He excused himself to the beautiful woman and hurried out to answer the phone, not caring whether the beautiful woman behind him was unhappy or not.
He walked to a secluded spot outside the western restaurant and answered the phone, "Hello, Assistant Qin, is it the boss looking for me?"
Qin He said, "The boss asked about what happened yesterday. Have you dealt with it?"
Wen Lufeng paused. "We're still processing it. A blanket ban isn't the way to go right now. Blocking all news would easily trigger a backlash, and falsehoods would become reality. So it'll take some time to process. The buzz has dropped a lot today. Xu Ronghao's studio has already issued a statement refuting the rumors. We've also deleted and limited some of the popular posts in her name, and she's been very cooperative."
"In two days, this is all you can achieve?"
Wen Lufeng became a little nervous. If Assistant Qin was dissatisfied, it meant that the boss was dissatisfied. He said cautiously, "Assistant Qin, you are a popular person around the boss. Can you give me some tips?"
"Let me tell you, the boss has to go home to be with his wife and will be home before ten o'clock. I advise you to resolve this matter around half past nine." Qin He then told him exactly what Zhao Shunian had said.
In the cold January weather, Wen Lufeng couldn't help sweating on his face. He thought his boss didn't care much about this matter, just a groundless scandal. However, no matter how much he planned, it was not worth it. Mrs. Zhao, who had a very low sense of presence, made a brilliant appearance.
His wife never came to the group, either here or in Hong Kong, the group's headquarters. He didn't even know her name, just that she was the daughter of the Liang family. Only Zhuang Jie and Qin He in the general manager's office had ever seen his wife. The boss, on the other hand, didn't even come home for ten days or even half a month, frequently splitting time between Hong Kong and the capital. This led him to mistakenly believe their relationship was cold and purely a business marriage.
Qin He asked Wen Lufeng, "Did Xu Ronghao Studio sue anyone for this?"
Wen Lufeng immediately withdrew his thoughts and replied, "No, there is only a stamped statement."
"Have Xu Ronghao personally come forward and say she's single, deny all rumors, and publish a list of the UIDs who spread the rumors as soon as possible. I'm leaning towards her suing some high-profile marketing accounts and pursuing legal action to serve as a warning to others. Look up any recent entertainment rumors without substantive evidence, find paparazzi to confirm them, and get information from them to cover up this matter. Satisfy netizens' gossip needs. It would be best if Xu Ronghao could use this as an excuse to release some press releases, claiming that someone is slandering and framing her to cover up the real scandal. Wen Lufeng, I'm teaching you step by step for the sake of your boss. Can you give him the good news before he goes home?"
Qin He completely turned this matter into an entertainment circle, blurring the figure of Zhao Shunian, an outsider, in this scandal, reducing his presence to a minimum, and the mysterious man would not be him.
Wen Lufeng repeatedly promised that he would handle the matter, flattering Qin He like he was free. Qin He told him to shut up and stop wasting time, then hung up the phone.
Money makes the world go round. Even the most inefficient work will be pushed forward at high speed, and public opinion on the Internet will reach a new climax.
The beautiful woman in the western restaurant never waited for Wen Lufeng to come back. She suspected that he was a liar who took the opportunity to answer the phone and run away from paying the bill, trying to take advantage of her and dine for free.
The beautiful woman suppressed her anger and prepared to pay the bill, but the waiter told her that it had been charged to the gentleman's account. Her anger finally subsided a little, and she called him to ask what was going on and give him a chance to explain, but he didn't answer!
