Shang Wu's fingertips curled up as she tried to control her emotions.
"Please, Ah Wu, I beg you, for the sake of our ten years of friendship, please save me!"
Ji Yu mechanically kowtowed, kneeling and begging for mercy in front of everyone in the public relations department.
Surrounded by complex gazes, she felt so humiliated that she trembled all over, but could only try her best to endure it.
Only after her head was swollen from kowtowing did Shang Wu finally close her eyes.
Don't go too far.
Given her current relationship with Ji Yu, if she hadn't made up a bunch of excuses just now, kneeling down and slapping herself would definitely have aroused Zhou Yanci's suspicion.
She wanted to see if Ji Yu still had the mind to instigate Zhou Yanci to deal with her brother.
"Get up."
After saying that, Shang Wu turned and left: "Public relations department, come with me."
Ji Yu collapsed to the ground, exhausted, and breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with resentment.
This bitch, she always doted on her, but now she wants her to kneel down and apologize. Has she taken the wrong medicine or gone mad?
Once Zhou Yanci dumps Shang Wu, she'll definitely find a few men and make Shang Wu taste what it's like to be cursed by thousands!
...
Next, Shang Wu instructed the public relations department to release comparison photos online to clarify that the photos were composites.
They urgently allocated 50 million yuan of public relations funds to drastically withdraw the press releases.
The hotel selfie controversy that caused such a stir has abruptly ended in the summer.
By evening, public opinion had almost completely disappeared.
After all that turmoil, Ji Yu was in a daze.
Zhou Yan was angry that she had been messing around in private, which not only almost ruined her reputation but also wasted his 50 million yuan on public relations.
Despite his dissatisfaction, he feared that Shang Wu's anger towards Ji Yu might cause a change in their relationship and affect the subsequent cooperation of the jewelry department, so he forced Ji Yu to go to Shang Wu's house for dinner to apologize.
At the dinner table.
Shang Wu first took Ji Yu's hand, her face full of apology: "I'm sorry, I made you suffer today, but I had no choice. The public relations department and the shareholders have a lot of opinions about you because of this, so I have to play the bad guy and punish you first, so that others can't say anything."
Faced with her apology, Ji Yu was stunned, her forehead red and swollen.
She was initially full of resentment, but after hearing this, she instantly felt less uncomfortable: "You actually did this for my own good."
"Otherwise what?"
Shang Wu sighed softly and raised her hand to rub Ji Yu's cheek: "You are my best friend."
Ji Yu felt less uncomfortable and immediately decided to punish herself by drinking three cups, pretending to blame herself for not understanding Shang Wu's good intentions.
Zhou Yanci finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Alright, everyone's happy now, but this matter will more or less affect the jewelry department, won't it?"
"The situation has taken a turn; everyone knows Ji Yu is innocent, but..."
Shang Wu changed the subject: "After all, this is a major blow to the jewelry department. Let's invest more in marketing."
Zhou Yanci considered for a moment: "How do you plan to market this?"
"Have internet celebrities or stars wear the previous limited edition designs to promote the product, create videos and photos, and publicize this year's release date."
Shang Wu paused for a moment: "It should require more than two hundred million."
"So much?" Ji Yu was so drunk she could barely speak, but she was still shocked by the amount.
Zhou Yanci paused in her chopsticks, frowning. "My budget was 30 million. More than 200 million is way over budget. Besides, do we really need that much money for marketing and promotion?"
"Of course, which celebrity doesn't need millions for promotion? This time, I'm going to do a full-scale online marketing campaign to let them all know that Ji Yu is going to give the industry a surprise."
Shang Wu pulled Ji Yu along, holding hands with her best friend.
Ji Yu's eyes lit up, and she quickly urged, "The more you do marketing, the more you earn! Just listen to A-Wu!"
Zhou Yanci hesitated for two seconds, then nodded: "Okay, let's do as you say. I'll have the company allocate 300 million yuan in marketing funds to you."
"I won't let you down." Shang Wu raised her glass.
Zhou Yanci clinked glasses with her, but before he could even swallow his drink, the phone screen on the table suddenly lit up.
He glanced at it and immediately picked up his phone.
Shang Wu didn't look in that direction, and chatted with Ji Yu casually.
Zhou Yanci put down her phone five or six times while replying to messages, appearing somewhat anxious.
Shang Wu asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"No." Zhou Yanci looked uncomfortable. "A business partner I know is also eating here. I need to go out and say hello. I'll be back in two minutes."
Before Shang Wu could speak, he hurried out.
Ji Yu, her eyes glazed over from drinking, leaned on Shang Wu's shoulder: "A-Wu, let's continue. What did you say earlier? If sales go up, I can get into the international design rankings?"
Shang Wu slapped Ji Yu's face away as she leaned in.
She used a lot of force, and Ji Yu almost fell headfirst.
She leaned on the table, feeling dizzy and seeing blurry images, completely unaware of Shang Wu's rejection and disgust towards her.
"Awu, answer me quickly! Can I make it into the world rankings? Could I beat your ranking back then?"
Shang Wu stood up, looking down at her: "Hmm, you'll soon be number one in the world." The first joke.
"I'm going to the restroom, you stay here."
She pulled out a chair and slowly went out.
This restaurant values privacy; there was no one in the hallway.
The private rooms are also very soundproof; you can't hear anything from inside in the hallway.
Shang Wu walked around the corridor and was about to leave when she suddenly heard a noise around the corner.
She moved closer quietly and saw the corner of the woman's pink knitted sweater.
"Why? Ah Ci, you were worried about me being in danger when I was drunk, so you took me in. But today you say you don't want to see me. Did I do something wrong?"
Faced with the attacking posture of the sleeping man, Zhou Yanci remained tense, her hands clenched at her sides.
His face was hidden in the shadows, his gaze dark: "I have a fiancée, Miss Shen. Who are you to me? Do I have any reason to absolutely have to see you?"
"have!"
She moved even closer to him, almost touching his body.
“You love me, you can’t forget me. Even if you seem to be living happily with Shang Wu on the surface, you can’t get rid of me because I am the first woman you have ever truly been with.”
Zhou Yanci's pupils dilated slightly: "Shut up! It's not like that. Who do you think you are? I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chenmian suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips.
Shang Wu was stunned when she saw Zhou Yanci. She then reached out to push Chen Mian away, but was so shocked by the tears on Chen Mian's face that she ended up hugging her tightly around the waist.
The two kissed passionately in the dimly lit corridor, their saliva audible.
Shang Wu felt nauseous and almost vomited.
Fortunately, she stood her ground and didn't let Zhou Yanci touch her.
She took out her phone and quietly recorded a ten-second video. When she turned around, she bumped into someone.
It made a loud bang.
