Aying laughed: "The PR manager said that before Director Shang decided to go on stage, he asked him to keep an eye on the live stream, capture all of her subsequent performances, and then promote them online. That's how the public opinion was controlled, right?"
The public relations manager smiled and said, "The stock price hasn't even fallen much, and it's stabilized now."
Zhou Yanci was taken aback, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she looked at Shang Wu.
At that moment, he suddenly understood why Shang Wu was so calm at the press conference, and even said that things were already like this, so it would be better to make a scene.
Taking advantage of this wave of attention, Shangwu's real plan is to use a strategic retreat to conduct an emergency public relations operation.
Zhou Yanci hesitated for a moment, then changed her attitude, walked over, and looked at Shang Wu with tenderness and affection.
"Awu, don't leave. Today, all of this is Ji Yu's and your apprentice's fault. It has nothing to do with you. Please stay."
The shareholders also realized what was happening.
Since traveling by boat won't be affected, we should leave Shang Wu, this pillar of the family, behind.
Immediately, everyone spoke up, trying to persuade Shang Wu to stay.
Aying coughed lightly and interrupted at the right time: "But some people online are saying that Director Shang gave away her hard work to others, which is not only for the sake of her best friend, but also disrespectful to her own design. Besides, she has already announced her resignation in public, but in the end she didn't leave, which may have the opposite effect."
Zhou Yanci frowned slightly, feeling that what she said made sense.
He and the shareholders remained silent, weighing the pros and cons.
Shang Wu pursed her lips, glanced around, and then said, "I have a suggestion."
Zhou Yanci looked at her: "Tell me about it."
Shang Wu said slowly and deliberately, “I’m starting my own business and taking advantage of the hype to announce my resignation and start a new company. It’s just to test everyone’s attitude and see if they will still buy into it. Of course, you will hold 100% of the shares in this company. I will only be responsible for working for you. On the surface, I will sever ties with Cheng Zhou.”
After she finished speaking, Zhou Yanci's gaze changed slightly, and she said meaningfully, "You want to start your own company?"
"Yes, I resigned and left. Now that the hype is at its peak, I will announce the establishment of a separate brand for fans. I guarantee that the branch will increase Chengzhou's income by at least tenfold."
As Shang Wu spoke, she gave A Ying a wink: "Go and get my bag."
Zhou Yanci refused without hesitation: "No, public opinion is still unfavorable to you. Even if you say you're not stopping writing for the sake of people who like your work, many people will still ridicule you."
"Black and red are still red, you've heard that saying before, right?"
Shang Wu raised an eyebrow: "I have to resign because I'm afraid that Cheng Zhou's situation will be affected and damage your reputation. If you don't agree, I will have no choice but to shelve my subsequent works and leave the jewelry department."
Zhou Yanci's heart tightened: "You can leave on the surface, but secretly work for Cheng Zhou!"
Shang Wu paused, almost vomiting from disgust at his shameless words.
Do you want her to design works to promote others and erase the fame of all her works?
She sneered inwardly, but said calmly, "My designs are unique in the world. If I release any more works, people will definitely recognize them. I will either have to stop designing altogether, or I will only be able to operate under the identity of Freya."
Zhou Yanci fell silent.
Despite the ensuing disaster, he still wanted to give money to Shang Wu to set up a jewelry branch.
One shareholder couldn't help but ask, "How much registered capital do you want?"
"Fifty million."
After Shang Wu finished speaking, everyone's expressions became even more unpleasant, clearly indicating that they were reluctant to give so much.
At this moment, Aying rushed over and handed Shangwu a design draft from her bag.
Shang Wu unfolded the design draft and handed it to everyone to see.
"I think this work alone is worth fifty million. Would you all like to take a look?"
Zhou Yanci and the shareholders looked over at the same time.
That was a set of Chinese-style wedding jewelry.
Combining Dunhuang style with phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, and using enamel craftsmanship, the overall visual effect is gorgeous and noble, with a novel design that catches the eye.
The limited edition is mainly made of red diamonds and pigeon blood rubies, while the mass-produced version uses agate and coral as alternatives, but still presents the same effect.
It is foreseeable that many people who are getting married or want to take wedding photos will buy this jewelry set, which mainly targets women who are planning to get married or like Chinese-style jewelry.
Everyone was immediately drawn to the design.
Shang Wu closed the artwork immediately and refused to show it to them again.
"This set of works was originally my New Year limited edition that I wanted to launch. Using it to kick things off would definitely be a great start, and all shareholders would make a profit. It's up to you to decide."
She smiled, nodded, and left.
As Zhou Yanci watched her retreating figure, he suddenly felt that with Shang Wu around, no major crisis seemed to be a problem.
...
Outside.
Aying followed Shang Wu closely.
"Director Shang, can you really convince the shareholders? They seem reluctant to invest."
Shang Wu said calmly, "It depends on whether they are willing to cut off the jewelry department, their main asset. They would rather never do jewelry again."
She stopped in front of the jewelry department and took the bag from A-Ying's hand: "But do you think these people, having tasted the sweetness of three years of profit sharing, will easily give it up?"
Aying scratched her head, seemingly lost in thought.
Shang Wu then turned and left the company, looking at her phone as she took the elevator.
Qiu Ting has successfully boarded the plane and sent her a message before leaving.
As for Ji Yu, she was taken away by Zhou Yanci's bodyguard team.
She was looking forward to seeing Ji Yu again and settling the score properly.
With the press conference over, there's another person she needs to talk to.
Shang Wu stepped out of the elevator and drove straight to the Huannan Apartment Complex.
She stopped the car and smiled at the security guard.
"Uncle, I'm still looking for that person from last night."
Knowing that she knew Lu Rang, the gatekeeper waved his hand, signaling her to come over.
After thanking him, Shang Wu drove the car in and headed straight for the home address on Lu Rang's business card.
After ringing the bell, the door opened.
Shang Wu met Lu Rang's surprised gaze and squeezed in.
"Attorney Lu, I've come to ask for a cup of tea."
