Chapter 309: Trick Me
Xu Sisi couldn't help it and directly retorted: "Some people are so idle that they spread rumors and cause trouble all day long. Momo and Mr. Jiang have a good relationship, so don't worry about it!"
I pulled her sleeve, signaling her not to get excited, then smiled at the camera: "Thank you for your concern, Yichen and I are really fine. As for those rumors, just treat them as a joke."
Soon the live broadcast ended, and I leaned back on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Sisi handed me a glass of warm water, and said with some distress: "Momo, you were so calm just now. If it were me, I would have exploded a long time ago."
I smiled and took the cup of water: "It's not that I'm not angry, I just don't think it's necessary to bother with those people. The more they want to see me sad, the happier I want to be."
Xu Sisi nodded, her eyes full of admiration: "You are really getting stronger and stronger."
As I was talking, my phone vibrated. I picked it up and saw a message from Mr. Wen: "I watched the live broadcast, you did a great job. I have dealt with those rumors, don't worry."
I was stunned for a moment. He had known it all along.
Jiang Yichen is well aware of the power of public opinion, and he carefully selected a media outlet that is extremely influential in the financial field.
On a quiet night, he anonymously sent some evidence of Zhou Yang's company's financial fraud to a senior reporter of the media through an encrypted network. The evidence was detailed enough to arouse public doubts.
A few days later, a report titled "A mysterious company's financial situation draws attention, what's the hidden story behind it?" quietly appeared on the front page of the media.
Although the report did not directly name Zhou Yang's company, the details mentioned in the article were all known to industry insiders. When Zhou Yang saw the report, his face turned pale. He immediately suspected that one of his competitors was behind it, but he did not realize that all this was the work of Jiang Yichen.
"These bastards actually dared to backstab me!" Zhou Yang angrily threw the newspaper in his hand on the desk. His secretary stood trembling beside him, not daring to breathe. "Find out who is the blind guy who did it!" Zhou Yang gritted his teeth and ordered.
As the report spread, the public's doubts about Zhou Yang's company grew louder and louder, and the stock price began to fluctuate slightly.
Zhou Yang fell into a panic. He kept holding emergency meetings to try to find a solution, but he began to suspect that there was a traitor in his team. The conflicts within the company quietly intensified.
Jiang Yichen did not give Zhou Yang a chance to breathe. Relying on his connections and status accumulated over the years in the industry, he privately contacted several suppliers and partners who had close cooperation with Zhou Yang's company.
He disclosed to them in detail all the evil deeds of Zhou Yang and the possible risks of cooperating with such a person. After weighing the pros and cons, these suppliers and partners decided to stop cooperating with Zhou Yang's company.
At the same time, Jiang Yichen used his connections in the bank to have Zhou Yang's company's loan application ruthlessly rejected. Zhou Yang originally planned to use the loan to turn over funds, but now that the plan has fallen through, the company's capital chain has suddenly become precarious.
On the same day, Xu Sisi told me that Lin Xiaoxia of Jade and Suzhou Embroidery had already prepared the last styles, packaging combinations and profits, and the press conference could be held as scheduled.
"Okay, well done." I praised them.
At the press conference, I stood in the center of the venue, looking at the bustling crowd in front of me, feeling nervous and excited. This new jadeite and Suzhou embroidery is the result of my three months of preparation. Not only did I invite well-known designers and artists in the industry, but I also attracted a lot of media reporters. The venue was elegantly and exquisitely decorated, with several exquisite Suzhou embroidery works hanging on the wall, and a variety of jadeite accessories on the booth. When the lights were turned on, the whole space was shining.
Xu Sisi stood beside me, holding the process sheet in her hand, and reminded me in a low voice: "Momo, it will start in ten minutes. Are you ready?"
"I'm ready." He ran his fingers through his hair to make sure he looked good.
Just then, there was a commotion at the entrance of the venue. I turned around and saw Jiang Yichen walking in calmly in a well-tailored dark gray suit. His appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention, and reporters raised their cameras one after another, with flashes going off one after another.
"Jiang Yichen is here too!" Xu Sisi exclaimed in a low voice, with excitement shining in her eyes.
I was a little surprised, but more delighted. He walked up to me and smiled: "How can I miss such an important event?"
I looked at him and felt warm in my heart: "Thank you."
He patted my shoulder gently and said in a gentle tone: "I will say a few words later to support you."
"I will also be speaking later, remember to applaud me."
Hearing what I said, Jiang Yichen pinched my face.
The host walked onto the stage and announced the official start of the press conference.
As the organizer, I was the first to go on stage and give a speech. I stood in front of the microphone, looked at the audience, and said calmly: "Welcome to the new jade and Suzhou embroidery launch event. The original intention of this competition is to combine traditional jade craftsmanship with Suzhou embroidery art to create works that have both classical charm and modern aesthetics. Thank you to all the designers and artists for participating, and thank you to the media friends for your support."
There was applause from the audience. I continued, "Next, please let Mr. Wen give us a speech."
President Wen walked up to the stage, took the microphone, and swept his eyes across the audience. He said in a steady tone, "I am very happy to participate in this creative competition today. Jade and Suzhou embroidery are both treasures of our traditional culture, and combining the two is not only a heritage of tradition, but also an exploration of innovation. Wen's Group has always been committed to supporting the development of the cultural industry. In the future, we will continue to cooperate with Ms. Gu Mo to promote more excellent works to the world."
His speech was brief and powerful, and the audience burst into warm applause again. Reporters raised their cameras to record this moment.
Halfway through the event, the reporter question session began. A reporter stood up and asked, "Ms. Gu, what is your inspiration for holding this creative competition?"
I smiled and replied: "The inspiration comes from my love for traditional culture. Jade and Suzhou embroidery are both very delicate art forms. I hope that through this competition, more people can see their charm."
Another reporter then asked: "Mr. Wen, you just mentioned that you will continue to cooperate with Ms. Gu. Can you tell us more about your future plans?"
President Wen glanced at me and said calmly, "We are preparing a large-scale cultural exhibition, which will display more works combining jadeite and Suzhou embroidery. The specific details will be announced later."
