Chapter 1092 Press Release
Lu Miao understood what Cheng Yingjie meant, but Cheng Yingjie was afraid that she didn't understand, so he explained:
"Have you ever used mainland brand vanishing cream? It's just like the one on their sign, except the characters on theirs are drawn by an ink painter, while ours are real people."
Cheng Yingjie is only a few years older than Lu Miao, and both were born in the 1950s.
He was born in Hong Kong and due to some objective and special reasons, he can be said to have received British education since childhood.
Compared to most of the arrogant and chauvinistic men in mainland China during the same period, Cheng Yingjie was much more humble and gentlemanly.
He also knows how to respect others.
Especially respect for women.
"I hope Miss Lu doesn't think I'm being abrupt. This is just a communication."
Worried that Lu Miao might misunderstand, Cheng Yingjie explained gently, while showing his sincerity:
"Regardless of whether we can reach a cooperation, I will provide Miss Lu with a pager to facilitate future communication."
Given Lu Miao's personality, it's not necessary for him to be a model for others just for a few pagers.
Moreover, she holds an important position and is involved in too many commercial activities, which actually does not do her much good.
If there is someone with ulterior motives, he could easily find something to hold against her.
But after a brief moment of silence, Lu Miao nodded and agreed:
"Okay, but you have to listen to me on how to shoot it."
Some things are hard to say openly, but they are facts after all.
The relationship between Lu Miao and Cheng Yingjie is not just about the gift of the pager.
They have a lot more collaborations ahead of them.
Giving away the pager was Cheng Yingjie's sincerity in solidifying those collaborations.
As a behind-the-scenes shareholder of one of the parties, Lu Miao should also take appropriate measures to respond considering the interests of both parties.
And agreeing to take photos was her response.
Of course, Lu Miao wouldn't dig a hole for himself.
When she agreed to this, she already had a plan in mind.
After Cheng Yingjie nodded to indicate that he was willing to listen to her, she curved her lips and smiled, taking the lead:
"Photography is limited to the exhibition venue. The selection of photos requires my approval, and I will write a special press release, which I will then communicate with mainland news agencies. Similarly, when you use those photos, the Hong Kong media will also need to publish an updated report simultaneously. This should not be difficult for you."
Cheng Yingjie thought Lu Miao wanted to increase his personal influence through various media channels.
Considering that this point not only did not conflict with his publicity, but rather coincided with it, Cheng Yingjie nodded and agreed without hesitation.
But how can the truth be so simple?
According to Cheng Yingjie's selection, Lu Miao changed a total of six sets of clothes the next day.
Some are produced by Beijing North Garment Factory, while others are produced by Guangzhou Garment Factory.
Of course, the national red cheongsam specially prepared for her by the British Society was also among them, which she paired with a lifelike golden flower-wrapped hair comb.
At the beginning of the exhibition, Blonde’s international friends praised her as a “muse”.
In the middle period, her face spread to the East Nine District, and people in Tokyo, Osaka and other island countries all exclaimed that she was a Showa girl.
When this exhibition was about to close, she appeared in front of the public wearing a cheongsam in the colors of the national flag.
Even those Chinese people who had previously thought that her dress was unruly and unconventional could not help but admire her and acknowledge her beauty, courage and excellence.
Cheng Yingjie looked at Lu Miao and naturally noticed these changes in people.
But when the photos were finally selected, Lu Miao handed him the press release to be used later. At that moment, Cheng Yingjie truly realized Lu Miao's wisdom.
For some reasons, Hong Kong is still stranded abroad.
The press release provided by Lu Miao was not intended to increase his own influence as Cheng Yingjie thought.
On the contrary, Lu Miao didn't mention a single word about himself.
What did she write?
It seems to be a very official press release, but in fact it is expressing the core idea of "promoting friendly exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and the motherland hopes that he will return home soon" in a very obscure way.
Just this one press release elevated the entire incident.
Not only did they reach a cooperation, but they also avoided the "business-related" issues that are easily exploited and criticized.
She took a macro perspective and proactively solved all the troubles that Cheng Yingjie had thought of or not thought of!
Perhaps it was because Lu Miao's behavior was too outstanding and unexpected, Cheng Yingjie couldn't help but express it bluntly when he put his things away:
"If Miss Lu is still single, then I think I will pursue Miss Lu very passionately."
"There are no ifs in this world."
Lu Miao smiled lightly, blinked her beautiful eyes and added calmly:
"And sometimes being friends is the most appropriate thing. If we really become life partners, we might not be able to see each other's shining points."
Cheng Yingjie was silent and thoughtful for two seconds, then nodded gently and said with a warm smile:
"Too."
Lu Miao smiled brightly and changed the subject at the right time:
"There's currently no usage of 'Miss' to refer to women in mainland China, so you should just call me 'Comrade', or 'Lu Miao' is also fine."
Cheng Yingjie smiled gently and nodded slightly:
"Lu Miao."
…
Lu Miao was not able to get the pager that Cheng Yingjie had promised him.
Cheng Yingjie made an agreement with Lu Miao and asked her to continue working normally.
He then mailed the things directly to her in Beijing.
Besides, the Canton Fair was closed, so Wang Yuehua and her colleagues returned to Beijing first to rush to complete the orders.
The capital team of the British Social Sciences Association once again enjoyed their vacation in Guangzhou, just like every time they came here before.
Lu Miao has been very tired recently.
She did not go out to play with her young subordinates, but stayed in the hotel for two days, sleeping and waking up, before slowly regaining some energy.
It was not until the afternoon before boarding the flight that Yu Hong accompanied me to a department store near the hotel and I picked out a few gifts for each of my family members to take back.
Speaking of gifts.
Although Wang Xiu and Xu Xiangcao were maids at home, Lu Miao also prepared their share when buying things.
His family had just bought a hardware processing factory, so Lu Miao didn't have much cash on hand.
But when she buys things, she usually only looks at the quality and won't deliberately buy cheap things.
For example, the dark red and pink plaid coat she bought for Wang Xiu and the small leather shoes she bought for Xu Xiangcao, none of them cost less than thirty yuan.
Considering the consumption of ordinary families and the working class, Lu Miao, the head of the family, is really quite good.
I won’t tell you how much I spent on these things.
Given her personality of always being afraid of trouble, it was a very rare thing for her to carry so many bags from Guangzhou back to northern Beijing.
But because of this gift, there were some unpleasant rumors at home.
Wang Xiu and Xu Xiangcao are two extremes.
The former was overjoyed when he received the gift.
Especially when Wang Xiu took the clothes from Lu Miao, feeling the thick and soft material, he didn't dare to touch it easily.
I am worried that the skin on my hands is rough and will damage my clothes.
