Just like now, Zhou Yanci is establishing her persona and dispelling last night's rumors with just a bouquet of flowers and a few words.
And her as a tool to assist in the performance.
"A-Wu?"
Zhou Yanci reminded him, a hint of suspicion flashing across his face.
Shang Wu looked up and accepted the flowers as usual. "I'm not angry anymore, you don't need to send flowers to apologize."
"Really? Then I'm relieved."
Zhou Yanci grabbed her hand and walked into the president's private elevator as if no one else was around.
Shang Wu withdrew her hand, tightly clutching the bouquet, and moved half a step away from him.
Zhou Yanci's eyes flickered, and she whispered, "Awu, I promise I will never force you like this again. Don't be afraid of me, okay?"
"Hmm." Shang Wu simply nodded.
Zhou Yanci chuckled: "I heard that Ji Yu went to speak up for me, but you chased her away. You never had the heart to say anything harsh to her before, what happened yesterday?"
Shang Wu reached out and gathered the few roses in the bouquet that were about to fall apart, and said casually, "It's not always my turn to give in to her. This is a very private matter, and I don't want to talk about it with other people. In the future, you shouldn't let her persuade me about everything."
Zhou Yanci paused, taken aback by her attitude, and it took him a while to find his voice.
"……good."
The elevator doors opened, and Shang Wu nodded: "I have a meeting to attend, I'll head back to the jewelry department first."
Secretary Aying was already waiting. When she saw her, she smiled and said, "It must be flowers from President Zhou again, right? It's all over the company. President Zhou upset you and apologized in public."
"What's the outline of the meeting?" Shang Wu casually handed her the flowers.
Aying gestured towards the office: "It's on your desk."
Shang Wu went in to get some documents for a meeting: "No need to bring the flowers in, just leave them in the tea room to add fragrance."
Aying was taken aback and stopped in her tracks.
...
The meeting mainly discussed the pre-launch promotion of the limited-edition new product.
The employee wrote promotional copy and showed it to Shang Wu.
Shang Wu glanced at the flowery and high-profile praise.
"A masterpiece by Ji Yu, a pillar of the jewelry department and a genius designer! The work is a visual feast that amazes the world, inheriting the creative style of the former retired designer Freya, and even surpassing her!"
Shang Wu paused for a moment.
Freya.
Goddess of love and beauty.
Legend has it that whenever lovers meet for the first time, the goddess Freya will appear and bestow her blessings.
When she first came up with the name of this design, she vowed to become the Freya of the jewelry design world, hoping that those who bought her designs as gifts for their loved ones would be happy.
"Designer Ji didn't come to work; this is the press release that she has already approved for release."
Zhang Min, an employee in charge of the copywriting, noticed that Shang Wu remained silent for a long time and assumed that she was not satisfied, so she became more and more cautious in her tone.
"Director, is there anything you're still not satisfied with and would like to make changes?"
Shang Wu blinked, suddenly snapping back to reality.
"Let's just send it like this."
Can the student surpass the teacher?
Mingming's design works all originated from her.
Ji Yu really liked this kind of praise that elevated her to the highest position, placing her on par with Freya.
Even with all that glory, one should consider whether they can handle it.
Shang Wu sat down and continued the meeting.
After the meeting ended, she received a phone call.
"Hello, this is Dingfeng Law Firm. You have an appointment to meet with our lawyers at 1:30 pm today. Would it be convenient for you to arrive half an hour early?"
Shang Wu paused, remembering that she had arranged to meet with a lawyer last night.
Dingfeng is the most authoritative law firm in Lincheng and even in the industry.
She specifically checked and found that Zhou Yanci's influence was not among them.
Zhou Yanci's public relations department and her personal legal team happen to be rivals of Dingfeng Law Firm.
The safest course of action would be to have Dingfeng's lawyers investigate the circumstances of your brother's sentencing and how the business was framed.
Shang Wu replied, "I will arrive early."
As soon as lunch break was over, she went straight to the law firm.
The law firm staff waited and led Shang Wu upstairs to the meeting room.
"Tea and snacks have been prepared for you. Please wait for half an hour. Our lawyer will arrive promptly at 1:30."
Shang Wu frowned, thinking that the law firm had asked her to come a little earlier because the lawyer would be waiting for her in advance.
She couldn't help but ask, "I specifically took time out of my lunch break to come here, and your lawyer didn't even show up?"
The woman looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry, our lawyer Lu doesn't like to wait for people, so usually the clients come and wait for him. I hope you understand."
"..." Shang Wu was dissatisfied.
The law firm claims that this lawyer, Lu Rang, is the firm's top executive, capable of handling any case and winning any lawsuit.
Fine, I'll just have to bear it.
Shang Wu didn't say anything and turned to go inside.
She sat down, facing the timer on the wall.
Time passed second by second.
I drank half a cup of coffee.
1:29:59.
The door opened.
The wall clock chimed.
Shang Wu remained silent.
It was exactly the right second.
She stood up, watched the doorknob turn, and planned to say something sarcastic to the other person.
The door was pushed open the next second.
Shang Wu opened his mouth, but before he could utter the first syllable, he froze.
Those same deep, slightly sharp eyes, like the humid, hot monsoon that blows through a seaside town in summer, exuding a wild and untamed spirit.
Shang Wu was taken aback, and the words she had prepared got stuck in her throat.
"It's you?"
At the Evergreen Hotel, she witnessed firsthand the man who was watching her fiancé and her "white moonlight" arguing.
