Chapter 11 Humble Brand



Si Jiuyin came across the short video report posted by He Qinqin.

Strictly speaking, this doesn't even qualify as a report; it's more like an article from a marketing account stirring up trouble, completely lacking any neutrality.

He Qinqin didn't even bother to look for the legal judgment, stubbornly believing that Kashima Electric had absolute power.

Kajima Electric is now managed by Si Jin. She's smart enough to make a phone call and get the details and legal judgment.

Fortunately, the production team and NNT had the foresight to include a release commitment with each contestant's submission.

The works are completed independently by the contestants and are their personal assignments, not representing the position of the TV station or the program team.

Si Jiuyin should just observe and wait and see how things develop.

What troubled her was something else entirely.

Before she transmigrated, the original owner had arranged a blind date for He Qinqin.

Moreover, it wasn't just one match; all of them featured incredibly wealthy and handsome men with impressive backgrounds.

Now that He Qinqin and Shi Yao are deeply in love, I'm going to break off my relationship with He Qinqin.

But what if I've already arranged a blind date?

Si Jiuyin decided to negotiate with the other party first.

However, what puzzled her was that, judging from the live stream, Li Han seemed to be preparing to report on the Kashima Electric incident as well.

Logically speaking, Li Han and Si Jin are not familiar with each other. If she wanted to see the legal judgment and understand the complete process, she should have sought help from me first.

But it was almost time to get off work and she still hadn't received a call from Li Han.

The program is broadcast live, and not every scene is filmed.

The production team won't show the scene if it's inconvenient to broadcast live, so Si Jiuyin can't see where Li Han is right now.

After get off work, Li Han drove to the building where Kashima Electric Appliances was located.

She explained her purpose to the receptionist.

"Hello, I would like to meet with your company's legal and marketing managers. Could you please help me schedule an appointment?"

Before the receptionist could speak, the gray-clad man who was chatting with her shook his head as soon as he saw Li Han. "I know you. You're the guest on that 'City of Light' show, right?"

"You've been stirring up trouble for our company online, and now our return rate is skyrocketing."

"Are you trying to trick us into revealing information and setting a trap for us again?"

"Get out, get out, get out!"

The man in gray became more and more agitated as he spoke: "Do you know that the short video your reporter posted online caused our business associate who was in contact with Jin Jiujiu to become depressed?"

"Excuse me, I'm not here as an NT reporter."

Li Han handed the agitated young man a business card: "I'm here as a strategic consultant for the Si Group."

"Kashima Electric is now wholly owned by the Si Group. Is it alright for me to meet with their legal and marketing departments?"

"No problem, no problem, I'll take you to the VIP room." The receptionist quickly came to greet you.

The employee in the gray shirt stood frozen in place, clutching the business card.

At this moment, a thin business card feels heavier than a mountain.

Will he get fired tomorrow for stepping into the company with his left foot?

Li Han swiped the card given to her by the front desk and entered the private elevator.

The elevator came up from the second basement level. The moment the door opened, Li Han was stunned to see Si Jin inside.

Si Jin was also taken aback when he saw Li Han here.

Just when he thought Li Han would choose to take the next elevator to avoid him.

Li Han entered the elevator and greeted Si Jin calmly and gracefully.

"What a coincidence, you're going to the 15th floor too."

Si Jin nodded in greeting: "You've come to the company on business?"

Li Han: "I'll contact the legal and marketing departments."

What a coincidence?

Si Jin wanted to see what tricks this girl was up to, so he said, "I happen to have a meeting with the legal and marketing teams in five minutes."

"What if you come with me?"

"Okay!" Li Han answered frankly, her voice tinged with excitement.

Although she currently holds the title of strategic advisor to the Si Group, the power represented by the title is not something that can be acquired immediately; it requires time to accumulate.

Now that she can use Si Jin's influence to get things done, why wouldn't she be happy to do so?

Si Jin suddenly spoke up: "You know the problem that blogger mentioned, so why didn't you stop Qinqin?"

"Did you plan this all along, wanting to embarrass her?"

Li Han opened her eyes wide. What's wrong with this person?

I clearly advised He Qinqin, but she wouldn't listen.

Moreover, she had never seen such an extreme case before, one that indiscriminately betrayed her own group's brand.

"Mr. Si." Assistant Jiang tugged at his boss's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "I watched the live stream. Miss He tried to persuade her, but she wouldn't listen."

Si Jin was momentarily speechless, and replied to Assistant Jiang with, "You changed your tune pretty quickly, kid."

Assistant Jiang chuckled, "I'll side with whoever has a brain."

If we blindly protect Miss He, it wouldn't be surprising if she dragged the group down one day.

At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and Si Jin stepped out first, followed by Li Han to conference room number 2.

The legal and marketing directors were already seated in the conference room.

"Mr. Si."

Upon seeing Si Jin, they quickly stood up.

Upon catching sight of Li Han, surprise flashed in their eyes: "Hello, Miss Li."

Si Jin nodded and said to Li Han, "Ask whatever you want."

He then picked up his coffee, looking like a bystander.

Li Han then realized that Si Jin was testing her abilities.

She got straight to the point: "What exactly is going on with blogger Jin Jiujiu?"

Li Han found it hard to believe that such a big blogger would make a promotional video for someone without receiving any payment in advance.

The payment is similar to a deposit when renting a house, and the final payment is made after the video is filmed and released.

"She said she didn't receive a single penny from Kashima Electric?"

The marketing director's expression was priceless when he mentioned this: "Yes, she didn't take a single penny."

"He received 160,000."

Li Han raised an eyebrow.

Marketing Director: "Prior to this promotional video, we had already collaborated on a live-streaming sales event once, and the collaboration went quite well."

“We paid a total of 100,000 yuan for the slot fee and other expenses.”

Li Han understood; it turned out they had collaborated before, but Jin Jiujiu hadn't mentioned it on her personal account.

"Finally, Jin Jiujiu took the initiative to ask us if we wanted to advertise on her videos. She had a plan for a viral video that was perfect for our brand."

The marketing director looked distressed: "But her quote is very expensive, two hundred thousand."

"We considered it for a long time, and after her repeated persuasion, we decided to cooperate again."

“We were really looking forward to the viral video she mentioned, but in the finished video she sent us, our product didn’t even appear on screen.”

Li Han chimed in: "She won't cooperate with your revisions either, and instead says you're making things difficult for her?"

The marketing director nodded vigorously.

No wonder Jin Jiujiu could only post fragmented screenshots of chat logs, and no wonder the staff asked for modifications so many times.

The marketing director herself felt ashamed: "We spent 200,000 yuan, but not only did the product not appear on camera, the quality of her video was also very poor."

"But since we had already communicated, it wouldn't be good to cancel on our own initiative, so we suggested that if we didn't have time to polish the video, the collaboration could be postponed."
