Chapter 42

Lin Wei originally planned well. She planned to finish this activity and then concentrate on preparing for the exam.

The milk tea shop is on track, and the clothing factory has Sheng Meiyun and Sun Boran, so she will save a lot of time for review.

Looking at the newspaper now, it seems that nothing has changed. Goddess Xiangjiang's bonus has not decreased but increased. The only ones that have disappeared are the names of Yashan and Cha Lian.

This was the first time in her life that she was picked like this, with big thorns and blatantly, when she was at her most proud and glorious.

In the previous games, Lin Wei had always had the upper hand, and Fu Sheng even wanted to take the initiative to retreat, but this time Fu Sheng's counterattack confused her.

"If they hadn't bribed the Hong Kong governor, I would have written my name upside down!" Su Tianrui was so angry that he threw the document.

Wen Jiayue blamed herself: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't come up with the blind idea and called her Yashan Goddess, I probably wouldn't have been caught by them and ended up like this."

Fu Sheng had already started selling tickets.

This was originally their plan. They started selling tickets for the Easter match, and bought exclusive co-branded milk tea to get tickets. However, it was stopped before it could be implemented. Fusheng directly poached an internal employee, and even took away the follow-up planning project. And the ticket price has been increased dozens of times.

Lin Wei can't even file a lawsuit. The other party has a government platform behind them, which does them no good.

I can only suffer this dumb loss.

"It has nothing to do with you."

Lin Wei was really a little confused this time. Business wars in people's eyes are often very high-level, but in reality they are really ridiculous.

Show up in ways you never expected.

Even if someone warned her early that someone would do something strange, she never expected it to be this way.

She has been in business for many years and is not willing to offend people, but she is not afraid of offending them. No matter who she offends, no one in the business circle has the qualifications or ability to really stand in your way.

All roads lead to Rome. At worst, change the track. If that doesn't work, just grit your teeth and pave your own way out.

But no matter how powerful you are, you cannot offend the authorities.

To put it bluntly, in Hong Kong City, she is not afraid even if she offends HSBC, but the government alone, the government alone, has nothing you can do about it.

For a star, it doesn’t matter if you offend the director or producer. There are still many opportunities. It doesn’t matter if you offend a big TV station. There are many platforms. Even if you are not allowed to appear on the TV station because of your contract, there are still online platforms, but once you are blocked by radio and television, you will be banned. , then your stardom is completely over.

The crushing power of power can destroy all personal efforts.

There seems to be no solution to this matter other than admitting defeat.

"I'm really curious about what's going on with this woman now," Chu Yinghao put down the newspaper with a bit of schadenfreude, "You're not really going to confront the British Hong Kong government, are you?"

This woman's path is confusing. Qing, there are always some strange thoughts. For a moment, he was really not sure what this woman would do.

I'm afraid that if I speak too early, I'll be slapped in the face again.

Chu Aidong smiled and didn't take it seriously: "She can give it a try. The Huo family offended the British Hong Kong government, and their water and electricity were cut off, and their phone lines were cut off. If she dares to do this, no one will dare to cooperate with her anymore."

The Huo family was Is the suppression by the British Hong Kong government really because of its pro-China stance? Shipping king Yuan Guodong also had frequent contacts with the mainland. In the final analysis, the Huo family still harmed the interests of the British foreign companies. As the largest real estate developer, the Huo family was not offending the British Hong Kong government but the four major foreign companies.

When the Chenguang Building was cut off from water and electricity, it was forced to be sold. Whose hands did it end up in?

It's Fusheng Matheson!

It's the same as this incident, even simpler and more direct.

Going against foreign companies means going against the British Hong Kong government. This girl has not found the crux of the matter at all.

When the Huo family acquired the land, the British Hong Kong government immediately declared it invalid. The Huo family's business had long since stagnated, and they began to look for opportunities abroad. In a few years, you will be far behind others.

She didn't want to offend anyone, but why would she offend Fu Sheng? Even if they offend Swire and Hutchison Whampoa, they will not offend the British Hong Kong government. They are also foreign companies, but Fu Sheng is different. For more than a hundred years, the relationship between Fu Sheng and the British has been entangled.

Does she want to be the second Huo family?

If Lin Wei heard his analysis, she would definitely retort that it was not she who provoked Fu Sheng, but Fu Sheng who wanted to pin her to death without leaving a way for her to survive.

Newspaper reviews of the incident were mixed.

There is sympathy and ridicule, but most of them have a spectator mentality and have nothing to do with themselves.

Of course, there will be people who will complain on her behalf, blaming the British Hong Kong government for its shameless behavior of cracking down on Chinese businessmen and favoring foreign companies.

But such sounds don't have much effect, and there aren't many.

She has been too high-profile recently, and the public has a rebellious mentality towards her. Chinese people regard being low-key as a virtue. As a woman, she frequently appears in newspapers and as a businessman. In the eyes of many people, her image and uneasiness She was hooked up with someone, and there were also news about "erotic affairs" on her body, so some people spoke of her with disdain.

The initial public opinion storm over the ferry has long since passed, and citizens will not be provoked to anger by such a thing and go to help Lin Wei stand up again.

Soon, people saw Lin Wei's statement in the newspaper -

the wording was very interesting. He first apologized and said he was sorry for occupying public resources these days. It sounded very fresh to everyone. It was the first time someone apologized for this. My first impression is that this guy is very polite.

Of course they don't know that this sentence has been used in later generations, and it is quite cliché, but the first person to say some words is wise, and then it becomes cliché. Lin Wei just made sure that no one has used it before, so she said it like this. .

The statement roughly stated the original intention of holding this event. The beauty of new women should be free and inclusive. However, due to poor consideration, they stepped on the red line and said that they were not coerced. Regarding the government and Fu Sheng taking over the "Hong Kong Goddess" I agree with the event and sincerely hope that this event will have a good result in the end, so that the world can see the new look of Hong Kong women.

A very simple statement, with a very low posture. It is completely different from the previous tough and aggressive style. It is obvious that he has given in.

Although it attracted a small wave of goodwill, it also attracted a lot of ridicule from her peers. Finally, it was kicked to the wall. Reality taught this woman who does not know the heights of the world a lesson.

Early in the morning, after Shi Jingchen saw this statement, he immediately put down the tableware, took his coat and was about to go out.

"Where are you going?" Qu Jinglan asked hurriedly upon seeing this.

However, Shi Jingchen walked very quickly and didn't reply to her at all.

"What are you doing? It's becoming more and more unruly." Shi Huaicheng's face turned pale.

Qu Jinglan glanced at the news in the newspaper and her face became ugly.

Ever since Lin Wei came to the door, the atmosphere at home has been very subtle, shrouded in an invisible low pressure, especially Shi Jingchen, who goes out early and comes back late, doesn't talk unless necessary, and won't take the initiative to talk to them if they don't ask him.

Qu Jinglan put the newspaper away after reading it. She was such a pest and deserved her bad luck.

Shi Jingchen drove to find Lin Wei.

While driving, his mind was filled with Lin Wei's expression after being frustrated, confused, sad and frustrated, which would be aggrieved to anyone.

After finally planning a phenomenal marketing event, in the end, the fruit was picked directly. No one can let it go. However, I still can't ask for justice. I have knocked out my teeth, so I can only stand tall and guard against getting slapped again. possible.

Those who originally wanted to invest in Cha Lian and Ya Shan are now shying away.

"Dear Lin, how can I help you?" Ye Jing'en came up and gave Lin Wei a hug.

"You can really help me."

Lin Wei took her to the warehouse of the factory: "I have a batch of clothes in stock that I want to donate to the children. I would like to trouble you to deliver them."

There is about half of the warehouse's stock, all of which are The boxes have been packed and neatly stacked together. Because they are for children, they have also sorted them and picked out any inappropriate ones.

Ye Jingen didn't expect there to be so many: "Are these... all of them, are you sure?"

"The clothes are all export standards, but they are marked, which is not in line with our current market positioning. Putting them here also takes up inventory. Donate them It's the best place to go."

"Lin, I thank you on behalf of the children," Ye Jing'en looked at her with something soft in her eyes, "I can see that you really want to do charity, and you can see the sincerity. Yes, they will only talk about how caring they are and how much they have paid. They will not say that things are idle and useless. Of course, I am not complaining. This is normal. Capitalists always have to be driven by fame and fortune to do things, but in the I don't see many business attributes in you."

Lin Wei was a little surprised by Ye Jing'en's compliment. It sounded a bit arrogant. She had never realized that she was so fond of him before.

But she has to admit that after being a businessman for a long time, it is a subconscious behavior to look at people's orders. For example, she knows what kind of people Ye Jingen likes, so she behaves like this.

It was hard to tell whether Ye Jing'en was complimenting her on purpose, but she believed that there was some sincerity between them.

"Capitalist is indeed not a good word. It is often associated with exploitation. In order to ensure prices, luxury goods giants in the clothing industry would rather destroy inventory than sell at reduced prices. It is undeniable that businessmen often engage in such wasteful behavior in order to pursue profits. Lin Wei walked to the box, rubbed the message written on it with her fingers, and said softly, "But the world still needs capitalists to create more tax revenue for the country and provide more jobs for ordinary people. It's true that I am a businessman. But I also want to be a philanthropist, for my family, my country, and my people... My father often said that if a person can really set up his mind for the world, establish his destiny for the people, carry forward his unique knowledge for the saints, and enlighten all generations. Peace, this way your life will not be wasted."

Shi Jingchen happened to hear Lin Wei's remarks as he walked from Central to the factory.

The autumn sunshine fell on the girl's white side face, casting a faint radiance over it. Her gentle and quiet appearance had a soul-stirring beauty that made people unable to take their eyes away.

Shi Jingchen thought of their reunion, when Lin Wei took out a batch of radios as a charity donation.

But the last time they met, he said that she was obsessed with money, worldly, and tacky...

Shi Jingchen regretted such harsh words to this day.

How could he say that?

They had grown up together, and he knew best what the other was like. Even though she had changed a lot now, she was still the same kind and lovely girl.

When a girl leaves her hometown and comes to Hong Kong City, who can she rely on?

Lin Wei was a little surprised when she saw Shi Jingchen.

But still politely invite people to the office.

Shi Jingchen put down the tea cup: "I contacted Shaw Brothers for you, but then I saw the newspaper and found that I did a little too much."

Lin Wei didn't expect that he could do this. If he didn't have the prejudice from the previous life, he would have Label him "affectionate".

She sighed: "It's my fault. I know you value feelings and say those sad things. Teacher Shi just doesn't blame me."

Shi Jingchen's expression moved slightly, then he shook his head and said, "We grew up together. , are the people who understand each other best. Some things go without saying. We both know what kind of person the other is. "

No, you don't know.

Lin Wei thought about being emotional, she just said it casually, this person really believed it.

She thought for a while and said: "...You may not believe it, but I just know how to read faces."

Huh?

Shi Jingchen was stunned.

Lin Wei pretended to be honest: "You have a good rapport with women. You are destined to have many women, and you will not stay for a certain woman for too long..."

Shi Jingchen looked slightly startled: "Tangtang, I..."

"You don't love fame and fortune. Treat money like dirt, be open-minded, and not be bound by worldly values. For you, feelings are the most precious thing in the world." Lin Wei's voice was unhurried.

Shi Jingchen did not interrupt her this time, but looked at her deeply, his eyebrows gradually moving.

"You are talented, but you are willing to be stuck on campus, teaching and educating people, imparting knowledge and solving doubts. Although you have regrets, you are also proud of your career. There is no more pure man in the world than you."

Shi Jingchen said firmly. Looking at her, there was a bright light in his eyes.

I have to say that Zhang Xiaoxian is really a good comrade. She understands men very well and has a way of fooling around with literature. With this combination, every man will be convinced.

Which man doesn’t feel that he is sentimental, has good luck with romance, is generous, and doesn’t appreciate his talents?

Those who can be fooled by this kind of rhetoric really do nothing to themselves.

At least the person in front of me really believed it.

Lin Wei still had a little bit of pleasure in succeeding in her prank.

Shi Jingchen's gaze was like a torch, with a gentle light shining in his eyes: "You are the same, Tangtang, you are equally outstanding. Your fantastic ideas and your talent in business are all things ordinary people don't have. Believe me, it's difficult. It’s just temporary. I just hope you can talk to me when you need help. I will be on your side to help you no matter what.”

The smile on Lin Wei's face faded. What he did made her look particularly bad.

If Shi Jingchen still calls her a philistine like before, she can still feel at ease...

It all happened in her previous life, and she has forgotten about it. In fact, she doesn't have that much resentment, and she doesn't want to take revenge. Since she can't If we treat each other sincerely, we will see each other less often in the future.

She thought the last time the two had a falling out was the end, but this guy came to her door again.

If Shi Jingchen was a complete bad guy, Lin Wei would have no scruples and know how to deal with him, but he is not, and he is even a real good guy in the eyes of most people.

"Thank you, Teacher Shi. Everything is fine now. If I need help, I will ask you for help."

Lin Wei suddenly felt distant and polite. Shi Jingchen felt it immediately. He didn't know what he said wrong.

Shi Jingchen said after careful consideration: "I can let my father..."

"Don't bother my uncle. I've offended the British Hong Kong government and it will have an impact on his career. In fact, I didn't lose anything. The initial investment was only tens of thousands of yuan." , and the harvest exceeded expectations. This is how business is, there are good times and bad times. If my mentality breaks down so easily and I cannot bear the grievances, it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold in the business in the future. What I said in the newspaper is what I think in my heart, and I have no regrets. ."

Shi Jingchen looked at her in silence. For a moment, he felt as if he was looking at a complete stranger. She was getting farther and farther away from the girl in his memory, but he kept looking at her with old eyes.

Only then did he realize that his care when he came was superfluous. The word fragile had nothing to do with the girl in front of him. The girl in front of her didn't need him at all.

He vaguely realized that the "reminiscing about the past" just now was more like a joke, but he took it seriously.

"If you think so, I feel relieved." He smiled and became polite and distant.

Well...

just be a polite "acquaintance".

There was a meeting in the afternoon. The garment factory was preparing to open a new store and reported on the progress of the work.

But everyone's morale was a little low, and they lost the enthusiasm of the previous few days.

Although they were tired before, everyone was determined to do something big and exerted all their strength. Especially when the influence of the event was getting bigger and bigger, the sense of accomplishment was growing day by day.

They watched the seedling grow slowly in their hands.

The result happened suddenly, like a deflated rubber ball, it suddenly leaked.

Lin Wei glanced around, feeling either aggrieved or unwilling - her expressions were not very good, and they were uniform, comparable to the precursor of menstrual period.

"Are you so angry?" Lin Wei smiled and took out a stack of contracts from the drawer. "The bonuses will be distributed as usual. Don't worry too much. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to show off your skills in the future."

Someone muttered unhappily: "What if What should I do if I get intercepted again in the future?"

"No," Lin Wei paused and added, "Try not to let this happen again. We may encounter greater setbacks than this, but I promise that we will The income will be greater, and it won’t be a loss. It takes a lot of hard work to organize an event. We are engaged in branding, not media... Those who organize events can just pay for it, and the hard work will be used in design and production. , Don't reverse the priority."

Everyone responded feebly, they felt that Lin Wei was looking for compensation, and they didn't want to lose face.

Lin Wei sighed softly: "Have you forgotten that the company and the players have signed contracts?"

Huh?

"They can do whatever they want. The goddess they choose will eventually be our spokesperson. They pick the fruit, why don't we just pick it up when it's ripe?" Lin Wei asked.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

"Will they break the contract?" Yang Zhenxiong was worried.

Lin Wei smiled and said: "Such a big cake has been snatched away. If this happens again, it will be too much to bully others. Do I look so mean? Is that really the case? I will take you to petition the Hong Kong Governor's Office. Okay. ——Everyone is preparing for the opening of the new store and the new autumn and winter styles according to the original plan. Don’t think too much.”

After hearing what Lin Wei said, everyone looked much better, lowering their heads and whispering, with a hint of joy on their faces.

Lin Wei looked at them with a smile, and there was an irreversible haze in her eyes.

This is not how accounts are calculated. Whether you suffer or not depends not on what you have lost, but on what you should have gained.

The climax of a talent show is never the audition, but the subsequent semi-finals and finals. What they picked was the sweetest fruit. They even took away the planning book. They blamed her for being too "diligent". The plan was included in the semi-finals, so they didn't have to use their brains and just picked up the ready-made hot stuff.

This kind of behavior is no different from robbery, robbing money from people's hands.

Doesn't matter? Does Lin Wei have this level of ambition?

No, she didn't!

After the meeting, Wen Jiayue called back from outside.

"The watchmaker said it will take a month, at least 20 days."

Lin Wei closed her eyes: "Tell him, as long as the appearance is lifelike, it will be done within two weeks, the price will double, and it will be done in one week." 4 times, if it doesn’t work, just find another one.”

Just as Wen Jiayue on the other end of the phone was about to tell the watchmaker, she heard the old master say: “I can’t guarantee that elsewhere, you will never find a second one in Hong Kong City. The person who made this watch, this watch is a Swiss watch before World War II. There are only a few of them in the world... But if you just want to make the case, it is simpler. Since you are in a hurry, pick it up in ten days. The price will be tripled. Okay. "

A replica watch costs several thousand yuan, and it's just a replica of the case. For this money, what kind of brand-name watches like Rolex, Omega, and Patek Peri can't be bought at a foreign watch store?

Wen Jiayue wanted to negotiate the price, but Lin Wei agreed without saying a word. She almost couldn't hold back her fault.

The boss seems to have no idea about money. He sees everything as cheap and cheap. He is very worried.

Lin Wei had no idea what she was thinking. Her idea had always been how to make more money. What kind of watch could she buy with the money? Directly acquiring a Swiss watch brand is the direction of her future efforts. Luxury brand distribution and famous watches are also an important part.

Finally, Wen Jiayue said that Song Ye was busy and would go back later, so there was no need to pick him up.

Song Ye hasn't bought a car yet. He thinks it's too expensive to maintain a car, especially if you have to pay for gas. It's not cost-effective.

Usually, Lin Wei would pick him up, take a minibus, or even walk.

Lin Wei is too lazy to complain about his behavior. Should he be awarded an environmental protection award?

Every time at this time, she would excuse herself from her previous life. Can you blame her for being so picky?

Once a man starts picking, he is really unattractive.

In the evening, Song Ye came back very late.

It's probably about running a toy factory.

He looked a little tired, but he still came to the study after washing.

"How are the preparations going?" Lin Wei asked him.

Um?

Song Ye looked a little distracted, raised his head and asked her: "What?"

"...I said your toy factory, are you too tired? Otherwise, go to bed early. You will have no problem even if you are admitted to the University of Hong Kong now."

and Lin Wei is different. Song Ye is a college student. It's so difficult to get into universities in the mainland now. His only shortcoming is English. He has almost mastered it now. Even French has made amazing progress. There is no need to work so hard.

"My goal is not HKU." Song Ye said lightly.

ah?

He said: "I have never passed the second place in the exam."

This means that he wanted to get the first place in the entrance examination.

Lin Wei: "..."

I really deserve a beating for my words.

If he knew that he only got second place in the exam in his previous life, he doesn't know what his reaction would be.

Lin Wei was looking forward to that day now, and it was time for this guy to take a little hit.

"If you love competition so much, then compare yourself with your sister. She goes to bed before nine o'clock every day and does all her homework casually. She is four years younger than you and is still in junior high school in the mainland. You work so hard, right? Do you have to be strong enough to crush others? "Lin Wei recently told Sun Muyin that she was growing taller, and she would not grow taller if she stayed up too late, so she obediently went to bed early and stopped going out late at night. Anyway, she had a TV at home.

This time Song Ye was silent.

There is a sky outside the sky, so where is the comparison?

How tiring, she is quite happy as an ordinary person.

After a while, Lin Wei took out a large black bag from under the desk and handed it to Song Ye.

Song Ye took it, a little confused.

I opened it and found a bunch of toys inside.

Lin Wei had already turned around and continued working on the paper: "I have taken the time to visit British department stores in the past two days. These are toys that I think are suitable for mass production and have marketability. Do you have any inspiration?"

Song Ye's indifferent eyebrows softened. Come down.

He has seen most of the toys inside. Lin Wei often talks about market research. Naturally, he has already visited all the places selling toys in Hong Kong.

He simply pulled out a square colored object that he had never seen before.

"What is this?"

Lin Wei looked over, holding the pen cap on her chin, and said with a smile: "This is a Rubik's Cube."

It's called the Twist Cube in Xiangjiang, and it's called the Magic Cube in Taiwan.

But now, it is an educational toy that has not become popular in this era.
