The sky-high traffic is coming
It was already one in the morning when Cui Ze got home. Something accidentally got stained on his clothes, which had a faint smell. He wiped it with his index finger and it turned blood red.
He quietly closed the door, took his pajamas and went to the bathroom. Hot water poured over his head and he closed his eyes.
When I came out half an hour later, I found a person standing in front of the kitchen island.
"Ikuri?"
"Yeah." Yu Li responded. She got up to drink water and heard some noise in the bathroom, so she guessed that Cui Ze was back. She thought she would have to wait until at least tomorrow.
Cui Ze picked up the remote control: "Why don't you turn on the light?"
"I can see it." Yu Li put down the water cup. Her eyes were dazzled by the bright light and she closed them reflexively. When she opened them again, Cui Ze was standing in front of her.
Slightly tilting my head back, it's not that men don't grow much after adulthood, why is Cui Ze getting taller every year?
"I haven't congratulated you on joining the club yet." Cui Ze said, taking out a bottle of water from the refrigerator next to him. He urgently needed to cool down after what happened before.
This weather is really not suitable for ice water, not to mention that Cui Ze didn't even wash his hair. Although Chinese people like to drink ice water all year round, but when I heard Cui Ze speak just now, it seemed that he had a nasal tone?
Taking the water from Cui Ze's hand: "Are you cold?"
Cui Ze: "I don't feel any discomfort."
Yu Li, stubborn, curled her lips and poured Cui Ze a glass of warm water. When she handed it to him, she noticed the red knuckles: "What's wrong with your hand?"
Cui Ze took a look and found that the joints on the back of his hand were a little red and swollen, and there were signs of skin being broken.
It was Yeon Hye-jun who beat him up.
"I accidentally bumped into the wall while overseeing work at Yutai."
The place where Cui Ze is on this business trip is Yutai, where he plans to build a tourist attraction to attract domestic and foreign tourists to spend money.
"Really?" Yu Li didn't say much. The wound became more noticeable red after being soaked in hot water, but it was far from enough to make her feel distressed.
This is nothing.
"Go to bed early."
She said, turning back to the room.
Cui Ze agreed, turned his back and leaned on the counter, watching Yu Li enter the room. He kept staring at her even after the door closed.
Yu Li is a human being, not prey. He knows this clearly, but he still can't help it——
It would have been fine if Yu Li had chosen someone else to marry, but she chose him.
The next day was a weekend and there were no classes. Zheng Zhihe was waiting downstairs early in the morning. Yu Li took a shower after exercising, and her aunt had already prepared breakfast.
The aunt came from Yanhua Manor and only came to cook when the owner was at home. Another person would come to clean every other day.
Seeing that Yu Li was about to leave after dinner, Cui Ze asked Yu Li when she would be free: "My mother said she hasn't seen you for a long time and asked you to come to her house when you have time."
"Ah, about this." Yu Li calculated the time. "Don't you have a family dinner at the end of the year? I'll go back with you then."
Cui Ze raised his eyebrows: "You're not going home?"
The end of the year is New Year's Eve.
Yu Li was already changing her shoes at the door: "Brother Jing will also go to the Lin family, my parents may not be home."
Lim Jung-yeon, Kwon Jae-kyung's fiancée.
I got in the car and went to the company first to deal with some accumulated documents, and then coordinated with various departments about the press conference three days later. I had a lunch party at noon and had to go to the site in the afternoon. The day's schedule was full.
Zheng Zhihe is usually responsible for such overt matters. She is not considered to be employed by ISG, but is more like Yu Li's personal assistant, coordinating Yu Li's daily and work matters.
In order to get this position, she practiced her drinking ability to the extreme.
"I can drink. Even if you take me to a drinking party to help you stop drinking, I'll always be of some use."
Yu Li asked Zheng Zhihe at that time if she didn't want to go to her family's company. The Zheng family was not poor and there was no need for her to suffer with her.
Zheng Zhihe joked: "I want to return home in glory."
After the dinner, Yu Li went directly to the venue. ISG is wealthy, and the new product launch conference was held at the Capital Convention Center. The stage has not been set up yet, so Yu Li mainly wanted to see the actual effect.
The designer provided a rendering, but she needed to be precise about the position of every light on the ceiling.
Wu Qingyu came along. She and Yu Li were not in the same school. She went to school during the week and worked at the company on weekends. She also had to stay up late at night to draw overtime. She looked listless.
"Do you need a rest?" Yu Li asked.
Wu Qingyu shuddered: "No, I don't need it."
She is capable and ambitious, and although she is grateful for Park Sun-ya's training, this will not be an obstacle for her to climb up. Park Sun-ya has been uninspired recently, and this is a good opportunity for her to show herself.
"I'll give you a break after the new product launch," Yu Li said. "You've grown so quickly. Your design will be the main attraction this time."
"Not exactly." Wu Qingyu was a little depressed when talking about this. The new products in December were missing a main promotion, but all the designers of ISG combined could not produce something that would satisfy Yu Li. Instead, she got inspiration from her father.
She inherited her artistic talent from her mother, who was also involved in this field, but she was not famous and could not make money. After she was born, her mother found a formal job to support the family. Two months ago, on her mother's birthday, her father personally designed a necklace for her as a gift.
Yes, it was the father who designed it, not the mother.
"You've given up so much for this family, and I've always felt guilty. I'm clumsy and have no artistic talent, so I designed this by taking classes at Qingyu's school."
My father, who knew little about computers, actually learned to draw. When he gave out gifts in the hospital, everyone in the ward was moved.
She was inspired by this necklace and made further designs based on her father's, and finally created a product that satisfied everyone.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you. You paid for my mother's hospitalization and surgery. After that, I—"
Yu Li waved her hand. Wu Qingyu had already thanked her many times. She was willing to spend money on excellent employees. "How is your mother?"
"I'm fine now. I can go out now."
Yu Li agreed after hearing that, and kept her eyes on the stage. By chance, she turned around and found a worker standing in front of a shelf secretly observing her. After being discovered, she quickly dodged.
Retracting her gaze, Yu Li asked Zheng Zhihe to call Zheng Ruizhen: "There's something fishy about that guy, keep an eye on him."
Sure enough, not long after, Zheng Ruizhen called: "He tried to tamper with the ceiling light. I've recorded it and I've taken him away."
"It is recommended that someone re-inspect the scene."
This is certain. Even if Zheng Ruizhen didn't say anything, Yu Li would find someone to do it. This matter has not been made public, so she probably knows who did it.
After the on-site visit, we had to go back to the office and review the script with the person in charge of the press conference process. The main product was Wu Qingyu's design, and behind it was a touching story, a story of decades of hard work. The division director thought this story could be used as a marketing strategy on the day of the press conference. Then, with the help of a few influencers, even if the product itself wasn't popular, sales wouldn't be a problem.
"Marketing tactics?" Yu Li asked gently.
It was over. Everyone in the meeting room felt nervous, as if they had stepped on a landmine.
"When huge profits can be made through marketing, does the product itself become unimportant?"
Yu Li listed the ten new products being launched at the conference. "Let's create a story for each one. That should help them sell better."
No one spoke, everyone lowered their heads.
Yu Li relaxed and leaned back in her chair. "After all, we've been working together for a year. I thought you guys already knew my work habits."
Of course she can do marketing, otherwise why would she invest in advertising and promotion fees, but she doesn't like marketing that goes beyond the product itself.
The most important thing for a jewelry brand is brand value, not the story behind the jewelry. What it needs is for the product to be popular even without this story.
There wasn't much else to say. After reporting, Yu Li left quickly, telling everyone it was time to go home: "We've received our day's wages."
Damn it! As soon as Yu Li left, the division director slammed the manuscript on the table in anger: "This is so insulting."
"Yes." Everyone agreed and asked the director of the division if he was planning to resign. "You said so last time, and you haven't left yet."
"Of course!" the division director said angrily, "I'll leave when the company goes bankrupt!"
Everyone: ...speechless.
After packing up and leaving the office, Jung Ji-ho asked if they were going home or somewhere else, and Yu-ri said they were going back to Yeonhwa Manor. At noon, Lee Hyun-joo sent a message saying she would be home for dinner tonight. This usually meant she had won another major milestone project.
I just worked overtime for a meeting and it was almost eight o'clock when I arrived at the manor.
Yu Li walked through the door. There was no one in the dining room, even the lights were off. She looked at the butler and asked him. The butler was about to answer when Quan Weihe's voice came from upstairs.
"Yes, there is no one more powerful than Li Xianzhu. Wow, I am the one who married you, but I feel like I am marrying into your family."
Then came Lee Hyun Joo: "I didn't expect our husband to be so self-aware."
Hmm? That didn't sound like a compliment, and Yu Li approached the stairs.
Quan Zhenghe came down from upstairs in a rage, his attention fixed on Li Xianzhu, and he didn't notice Yu Li beside him: "Are you tired of me? I'm going to leave now!"
"If you want to go out, just go out. Don't use me as an excuse." Li Xianzhu said coldly.
Quan Wei He Zhen didn't even look back.
The hall fell silent again, and Yu Li signaled to the butler that he could speak now.
"We were planning to have dinner together as a family, and my wife even chose the dishes herself."
"First, Miss, you said you were working overtime and would be back late, and then Master Jing said he couldn't come back because of something, so Madam said to eat something first."
"There were only the two of them in the dining room, and it didn't take long for them to start arguing."
It seems that they can't reach an agreement on something. Yu Li: "What's the reason?"
The butler bowed his head respectfully: "I don't know about this."
Old fox, Yu Li suppressed her emotions, no wonder she was brought out from the old house by Quan Weihe to be the housekeeper.
He knows everything and never says anything he shouldn't, especially when it comes to his master's personal or work matters, he won't know anything when asked.
Serve the Lord wholeheartedly.
That's good. Yu Li went upstairs, made a phone call, and soon found out the reason.
It's very simple. Kwon Byeong-hyuk also participated in the project that Lee Hyun-joo competed for. The victory was won by Lee Hyun-joo, and Kwon Byeong-hyuk got nothing.
He failed to become the chairman, his wife couldn't win over him, and his son was "eyeing him covetously". Quan Yenhe was very concerned about his reputation and was unhappy, so he said a few sarcastic words at the dinner table. Li Xianzhu didn't tolerate him and said even harsher words than Quan Yenhe.
The result is predictable. Quan Weihe certainly couldn't stand this anger, so he refused to eat and the two had a big fight.
Yu Li brought the flowers she bought for Li Xianzhu and knocked on Li Xianzhu's door, which was also Quan Weihe's door. Few people would believe that they had been married for many years and had not separated.
Isn't that how the chaebol circle works? Family marriages are conducted separately, each with their own room, or at least a bed, and no one disturbs anyone else.
Lee Hyun-joo was obviously happier when she saw the flowers, or perhaps she had never been sad. As a career person who only cares about work, work is the only thing that can make her have strong emotional ups and downs.
"Finished working overtime? I didn't expect your whole family to be workaholics." Li Xianzhu said about Quan Zaijing, "I don't know what your brother is busy with. He doesn't even come home at night."
Lee Hyun-joo is primarily responsible for her family's company. As an only child, she couldn't possibly abandon the family's assets. Kwon Jae-kyung works with Kwon Wyeo-hyuk, and Lee Hyun-joo never asks about his work.
"Dad isn't." Yu Li denied, smiling, "Dad is just obsessed with appearances."
Li Xianzhu smiled and ruffled Yu Li's hair, and the two went downstairs again to have dinner.
Yu Li is not interested in "redeeming" her parents' relationship. A person is only responsible for his or her own life. She does not think that her parents, who have lived more than 20 years longer than her, need her help.
The more involved, the more complicated it becomes.
Moreover, although Quan Weihe's words were not clear, his mind was clear, and he knew exactly what he could and could not do.
——
Song Minjing was having dinner with her agent. The agent was only a few years older than her, but he had rich experience and was particularly good at using data to create public opinion.
She wanted to learn from him and often treated her agent to meals.
"You don't need to do the data yourself," the agent said, sighing as he ate. "We have a team that can handle it for you."
"No, I don't care about my own data." The longer Song Minjing has been in the circle, the more she can feel the importance of public opinion. It can make people live or die. She wants to be a "behind-the-scenes operator". It would be great if she could manipulate it or have her own say.
"If not for yourself, who are you doing it for?" The agent vaguely knew that Song Minjing didn't really like being an actor. She just wanted to find something to do as long as she could make some money and have a certain status.
...It's hard to say. Song Minjing thought for a moment and said, "Just think of it as being for me."
She changed the subject: "Three days from now, I'll be free. I want to go see Yu Li."
ISG asked Song Min-jung to be the spokesperson for their new product, and their agent agreed because of Quan's reputation. Although Song Min-jung had only been in the industry for a year, she was already incredibly popular, and he wanted to take on a bigger endorsement.
ISG was established not long ago, and the other party is Kwon Woo-ri, and Song Min-jung is willing, otherwise he would not do it.
"You're free, ancestor." The agent coaxed Song Minjing. After her debut film, he got her another drama. The heroine was the only positive character among a group of villains. Generally speaking, today's society prefers villains - especially those who are good-looking and charming - thanks to the screenwriter's superb plot and Song Minjing's "superb" acting skills, Song Minjing became popular again.
This character's personality is that of a traditional silly, innocent, warm little sun, but Song Minjing doesn't understand why she should give warmth to those villains, and these people don't have Yu Li's face, so she offers warmth, but always with a hint of impatience.
In the eyes of the bad guys, it means: Oh no, you were smiling at me attentively in the last second and turned your face away impatiently in the next second. Woman, you are simply playing hard to get.
In the eyes of the screenwriter: This is the fishing system, ah, it seems to have a better development direction.
In the eyes of the audience: It’s really not 1vN, my wife is so great, shashasha.
The agent was so happy about the box office that he couldn't sleep. He said that Song Minjing was his god and he was willing to do anything he was asked to do.
I've gone off topic. In short, although this character is a little different from the traditional silly and sweet girl, it is in line with ISG's new "Guardian" series.
Song Minjing also protected so many villains in the movie!
"I'm going to the bathroom." Having drunk too much tea, Song Minjing left the private room, donning a hat and a mask. Those who came to high-end clubs were either wealthy or noble, and while they didn't think much of celebrities, it was always best to be cautious.
When passing by a private room, she heard a few loud laughs from inside. The door was half-open. Song Minjing glanced at it casually. The next moment, her pupils dilated and she quickened her pace to run past the room.
She sent a message to Yu Li in the cubicle: "Li Li, are you home?"
Yu Li stayed at Yanhua Manor tonight. She had already gone to bed when she received Song Minjing's message. After exiting her email, she asked Song Minjing if she had returned to Tianshuitai.
Tianshuitai is the house near Capital University.
"No, I just happened to see something." Song Minjing thought about it. There weren't many twists and turns between her and Yu Li. If there was any doubt, they would always speak directly. "I was having dinner outside, and Uncle Quan was there too. I passed by the private room and saw Uncle Quan hugging a woman..."
In fact, I have heard some gossip about Quan Biaohe over the years. When she was a child, she was worried that Yu Li was sad and wanted to comfort her, but Yu Li felt confused.
"Kwon Eun Hyuk is Lee Hyun Joo's husband. Only Lee Hyun Joo is qualified to judge him on emotional matters. If they don't divorce me, it means my worries are unnecessary."
After more than 20 years of marriage, doesn’t Lee Hyun-joo know what kind of person Kwon Woo-hyuk is?
Yu Li just said she understood: "Just pretend you didn't see anything and go home and get some rest."
Song Minjing replied "OK". Since Yu Li said so, she would not worry about it anymore. She would go back and ask her agent how to be the behind-the-scenes promoter.
Half an hour later, the party in the box where Quan Biaohe was staying was over. As someone left, they glanced at Quan Biaohe, who was sitting in the main seat, and the woman next to him, and said something ambiguous: "I won't bother President Quan anymore. Evening time is always precious."
Quan Quanhe laughed heartily, and when there was no one left in the box, he pushed the woman next to him away.
Ah Xi, I’m so annoying.
The woman came forward, her fingertips bright red. "Boss, shall we go upstairs?"
There are specialized rooms upstairs.
She was brought to the drinking party on purpose, with the sole purpose of getting in touch with Quan Weihe.
Quan Weihe glanced at the hand on his shoulder and pushed it away again.
He lit a cigarette, his mind gradually cleared, and he gave the woman money: "Let's go, go out and live your happy life."
The woman didn't understand and felt wronged: "What's wrong with me?"
Quan Weihe watched coldly. He wanted to save face, so with so many people present, he naturally had to put on a good show. Otherwise, people would say he was henpecked and afraid of his wife. He didn't want to sleep with this woman.
"I have a wife. My wife is Lee Hyun Joo."
The woman suddenly realized: "Are you afraid that she will find out? I heard that she is very powerful, but we can hide it from her."
"Ah Xi." Quan Quanhe sighed. Don't young people nowadays have brains? "I mean, my wife is prettier than you, has a better figure than you, is more knowledgeable than you, and has more temperament than you. She's the priceless rose of the entire capital. Why would I fall for you?"
The woman's face turned pale.
Kwon Won Hyuk has already taken his coat and gone out. With this IQ, he still wants to be a mistress and get promoted. At least he should find someone more powerful than Lee Hyun Joo.
Think about it, a woman more capable than Lee Hyun-joo has probably not been born yet.
I feel like laughing again, the one and only Lee Hyun Joo is his wife.
When he returned to Yanhua Manor, the housekeeper said that Li Xianzhu had already gone to bed. He nodded, stopped at the stairs, raised his arm and smelled the smell on her clothes, which was a mixture of cigarettes and alcohol.
Oh my god, frowning in disgust, he took a shower downstairs.
He cleaned up and went upstairs. The manor was silent and he walked lightly.
Carefully grasp the door handle and twist it——
Unable to open the door, Li Xianzhu locked it.
Assi, assi, assi assi!
Quan Weihe was so angry that he jumped up and down.
Three days later, ISG new product launch conference was held at the Capital Convention Center.
The news that the two jewelry companies ISG and Tia held press conferences at the same time has been widely circulated. People who know the inside story know that Tia wants to take advantage of ISG's popularity. Some companies are like this. They don't break the law and you can't catch them, but they will make big mistakes from time to time to disgust you, leaving you helpless.
Famous media and newspapers from all over the country gathered at the Capital Convention Center. ISG was not short of money and prepared souvenirs for every guest, including food, drinks and entertainment. Everyone who sat down had a smile on their face.
——It was prepared by ISG’s public relations director. The eldest lady never cares about other people’s feelings, so how could she think of this aspect?
When Song Min-jung appeared on the red carpet as the spokesperson, it caused a small climax. Many fans were waiting at the conference center. The public relations director took care of everything. In such a cold day, everyone had a cup of hot cocoa in their hands.
Yu Li was watching the speaker putting on makeup in the lounge. She was never the one who needed to be in person, so she flipped through the manuscript in her hand twice and put it down. When the makeup artist put her hands away and said the makeup was done, she glanced at her mirror and wiped off some of the speaker's lipstick.
The lip color is not as bright.
The press conference began, Yu Li and the speaker stood backstage, and Zheng Zhihe watched Tia's press conference live broadcast next to them.
"Tsk, how dare you sell these things? It's a scam."
"Park Sun-ya will be killed immediately."
While watching and commenting, after a few seconds, Zheng Zhihe's face suddenly became ugly.
"Something bad has happened, Yu Li." She murmured and handed the tablet to Yu Li.
The main thrust and bump designs of ISG and Tia have an overlap of up to 80%!
As they were about to go on stage, Zheng Zhihe bit her lip and asked, "What should we do? Should we hide our main character?"
Yu Li was holding the tablet without moving. The speaker came over to take a look and started to panic. This kind of thing happening before going on stage was a real test of her mentality, as she was talking about a new product that was bound to cause controversy.
Yu Li's expression didn't change as she instantly digested the matter. In just two seconds, she returned the tablet to Zheng Zhihe.
"Why hide it?" Yu Li asked, glancing at the lecturer, who was looking away. She took the cue card from him and lifted her skirt. "I'll give the talk this time."
Zheng Zhihe was startled, and Yu Li reminded her, "Be prepared."
A huge amount of traffic is coming.
