Chapter 272: Wen Wen Ruan and Shen Shen Yu Yan

June 27, 2023, Tuesday, cloudy, 26~37c.

Yancheng, Huayun Center Building B, Guangying Media Headquarters.

In the office area, a tense and oppressive atmosphere permeated.

Employees sat at their respective workstations, their expressions serious, their eyes revealing unease and anxiety.

In the WeChat group, chats kept scrolling.

The company has been developing for 15 years and can be considered a leader in the advertising agency and sales industry in Yancheng.

However, the main client base is basically concentrated locally.

Although there are branches and agencies in several first-tier cities, even the largest Imperial Capital branch only has a dozen people and hasn't formed a scale at all.

For them, the biggest development goal now is to go out.

The appearance of Meigou Technology is undoubtedly a historic breakthrough.

A top domestic internet enterprise was actually taken down by them!

Not to mention the sales of at least 50 million yuan per year.

Once this client case is achieved, it will have a huge boost to Guangying Media's reputation and credibility.

It is a milestone in the company's development.

Now that the cooperation has ended without a result, the blow to the company's leadership and shareholders is huge.

Employees have also sensed an atmosphere of "the mountain rain is coming, and the wind is filling the building."

"Da da da—" A burst of hurried footsteps came from the inner office.

Immediately after, Sales Manager Liang Assistant Xiao Li ran toward the large conference room.

She was holding the phone in her hand, her voice urgent and panicked. "Director Wang, our two companies have cooperated for 6 years, and it has always been smooth sailing. We have also witnessed the rise of Chengyuan Real Estate. Please be sure to give us another chance!"

"The rebates and quotes we gave are absolutely conscience prices in the industry. You should know this."

"Wait a moment! I'll let our Director Zhang talk to you personally!"

Hearing the conversation of this Manager Liang, many employees were startled.

Chengyuan Real Estate is a leading real estate company in Yancheng Province. Its property positioning is mid-to-high-end, and it is committed to building a brand image. Its annual advertising and operation consumption is over 10 million yuan.

Stable, lasting, and fast repayment.

It is one of Guangying Media's most important clients.

Such a big client suddenly wanting to terminate cooperation with them has a huge impact.

Even the New Media Operations Department and Channel Business Department will have to lay off employees.

Timid discussions sounded in the office area.

"What's wrong with the company? I heard this morning that 3 agency media companies canceled cooperation with us."

"Not only that, yesterday 3 head media companies sent notice letters to our company, wanting to conduct performance appraisals on us."

"I saw the notice letter. If advertising sales, client expansion quantity, etc., cannot meet the agency conditions, the media will terminate the contract according to the contract terms."

"Is Chengyuan Real Estate terminating the contract because of this? If so, will other big clients do the same?"

As an online advertising marketing and media agency company, Guangying Media's most core resource is "media."

For example, advertising resources of big enterprises like Toutiao, Baidu, and Penguin.

They act as intermediaries to help enterprises place and operate advertisements on them.

If these enterprises cancel their agency authorization, their clients will definitely not accept it.

For a time, the entire Guangying Media was shrouded in a haze.

In the large conference room.

The company's executive layer all had furrowed brows and worried expressions.

Chairman and CEO Zhang Shun leaned forward expressionlessly, his elbows resting on the desktop, opening his somewhat pale mouth.

His tone was heavy. "Since Meigou Technology suddenly turned against us yesterday, we have successively received cancellation notices from 4 big clients and 7 media companies. What are your views?"

In an instant, noisy discussions sounded.

The contracts of these big clients and them are all signed according to the execution period, basically once a month.

The contract only stipulates the operation method, media, and rebate ratio.

The specific cooperation mode is account top-up and consumption.

In this way, if a media effect is not good, you can switch media immediately.

Correspondingly, the cost of the other party canceling cooperation is also very low.

They have no countermeasures at all and are very passive.

On the contrary, the media side is not in a hurry; after all, the agency contracts signed are on an annual basis.

If they want to cancel Guangying Media's agency authority, they also need to come up with reasonable and legal excuses, otherwise they have to compensate according to the contract.

"Ding-a-ling—" The urgent phone ring sounded.

Seeing the caller information, Zhang Shun's fingers subconsciously exerted force, crumpling an A4 paper into a ball.

Taking a deep breath, he connected the call.

Zhang Shun smiled brightly. "Hello, Director Xu, long time no see. I was just thinking about finding an opportunity to invite you for tea."

Immediately after, the smile on his face froze, and his tone was heavy. "Jinxiu Trading is our most important partner at Guangying Media. Please believe that we will definitely overcome this crisis."

"Even if we don't have the agency rights for the media you need, we can also operate through other media companies. You should know my connections and reputation, the price will be kept the same as now."

"Okay! I understand."

"Director Xu, our personal friendship has always been quite good. I want to hear you say a truthful word, why exactly do you want to cancel cooperation with us?"

"Not convenient? I understand, thank you."

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Shun already had a layer of sweat on his body.

The most terrifying thing is the unknown.

Until now, they hadn't heard a single word from the other side.

"Director Zhang, I think the back-stabbing of Meigou Technology yesterday must also be the other party's means," Brand Director Li Xuechao opened his mouth. "The other party might know that Wen Wen Ruan is no longer in the project team, and is just using her as an excuse."

After the Meigou Technology incident happened yesterday, Liu Chuanzheng was in an extremely awkward and embarrassing situation.

He lost all face in the company.

Let alone being promoted to Vice President, it was still a question of whether he could continue to be the General Manager of the branch.

Li Xuechao is responsible for the company's brand business, often goes on business trips to the Imperial Capital, and has a good personal friendship with Liu Chuanzheng.

That's why he mentioned it at this time to help wash him clean.

Zhang Shun tapped the table, his gaze changing.

Thinking about the arrangement for Liu Chuanzheng.

"Dong dong dong—" The conference room door was knocked.

The president's assistant walked in quickly. "Director Zhang, Director Bai from Jingwu Capital is here! Already arranged in the meeting room!"

In an instant, the sound of chairs moving and standing up was endless.

Everyone stood up.

Immediately after, 5 directors led by Zhang Shun walked quickly toward the meeting room.

"Director Bai! Good afternoon!" "Lawyer Zhao." "Manager Wang."

After some pleasantries, everyone sat down on the sofa.

Zhang Shun crossed his hands, somewhat nervously. "Director Bai, regarding the changes in our clients and media, I think your company must already know. Given that we are currently at a critical stage of negotiation, can you please ask Jingwu Capital to help us contact the media side and mediate from it."

Jingwu Capital is very optimistic about Guangying Media and has decided to invest in the company through equity acquisition and capital increase.

Currently, the negotiations have entered a critical stage, and Zhang Shun can feel that Jingwu Capital is really sincere.

That's why he took the opportunity to put forward this idea.

With the other party's network of connections and power, they could easily solve the trouble they encountered.

This is also the reason why he has been able to remain calm until now.

Hearing his words, Bai Sheng said calmly and seriously, "Director Zhang, we are here this time mainly for two things. The first thing, we have decided to suspend the equity acquisition and investment in Guangying Media."

"This!" Zhang Shun's face changed greatly, his brows jumping violently. "Director Bai, our company has been founded for 15 years and has experienced many difficulties, but without exception, we have persisted. The current problem is not big, please give me a week, don't let these things affect our cooperation."

Isn't doing a company for making money?

For him, being favored by a top investment enterprise like Jingwu Capital is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Not only can he achieve high-level cashing out, but he can also get the ecological circle support of Jingwu Capital.

Bai Sheng shook his head. "This matter has already been determined. Of course, we are just suspending it; the investment committee needs to reconsider. The second thing, we hope Guangying Media will seriously review the dereliction of duty and illegal acts of Liu Chuanzheng, General Manager of the Imperial Capital branch, in his work."

Immediately after, Lawyer Zhao beside him spread out a document.

"Our Quanquan Law Firm, entrusted by Jingwu Capital, discovered many problems during the legal risk review of your company.

In the last 3 years, Liu Chuanzheng has received large transfers from Guangying Media many times in the name of consulting services.

And the legal representative of that company is his cousin, and the business engaged in is also advertising sales, and there is an agency contract between Guangying Media.

According to a report from a colleague who resigned before, we contacted Liu Chuanzheng's ex-wife and confirmed that the company has an interest transfer with him, involving Guangying Media's client resources.

Besides that, Liu Chuanzheng also sold branch assets at low prices many times, including photography equipment, office equipment, etc."

Bai Sheng said seriously, "This already involves the crime of embezzlement, and according to your internal planning, Liu Chuanzheng will serve as Vice President at the headquarters next month. This is an extremely major risk and hidden danger. We, Jingwu Capital, cannot invest in such an enterprise."

Zhang Shun looked at the documents one by one, his face terribly gloomy.

As a boss who has been in charge of the company for many years, he naturally knows some problems within Guangying Media.

Especially the number one person in the branch.

For example: reporting fictitious business expenses, kickbacks.

In normal times, this can't be considered too big a deal.

As long as Liu Chuanzheng can still bring clients and profits to the company, he can turn a blind eye.

But now the company is in a precarious situation, counting on Jingwu Capital to help, only to be dug out by people for such big things.

Plus, because of the conflict with Wen Wen Ruan, the Meigou Technology business was aborted.

Zhang Shun, who was already feeling annoyed, instantly erupted like a volcano.

Liu Chuanzheng! Go step on the sewing machine for me!

"Director Bai, don't worry, I have zero tolerance for such company borers. I will make him pay the legal price, and I will also strictly review from top to bottom to ensure that similar problems will not occur again. I hope Jingwu Capital can see our efforts and sincerity!"

Bai Sheng scanned them with deep meaning and nodded calmly.

The acquisition will definitely continue, but the valuation and conditions are naturally not the same as before.

The current Guangying Media is just in the first half of the storm, and there will be more surging waves next, which they cannot resist at all and can only wait to be harvested.

11:00 PM.

Fengda International Hotel, Supreme Fengda Suite.

The sound of "da da da" typing continued.

June 27, 2023.

Today was a very short day.

We got up very early this morning, as if we were both worried that sleeping would delay seeing each other.

We went for a morning run on the streets of the Imperial Capital together, and worked out in the hotel gym for 40 minutes.

Then we randomly drilled into an alley, found a clean little shop, and ate the tofu pudding, sugar fire cakes, and small steamed buns we love.

In the morning, he took me for a citywalk on the streets of the Imperial Capital. We walked from 【Wudaoying】 to 【Jianchang】, from 【Guozijian】 to 【Fangjia】, and finally circled to 【Beiluoguxiang】.

There are many interesting little shops on the road.

Coffee shops hidden in the hutongs, handmade and accessories full of artistic atmosphere, nostalgic vintage clothes, romantic bookstores...

He is very familiar with this place and said he missed it very much.

I know he must have come here with other girls, but I am still very happy.

At noon, we went to temple to drink tea, eat trbhutong, and chat about the decorations around us.

In the afternoon, because it was really too hot, we hid in the cinema and watched a movie together.

He picked a niche suspense film, and because it was a workday, we were the only two in the entire theater.

We didn't have to lower our voices to discuss the plot, and we could be intimate.

As a result, because the movie was too ugly, we were mainly being intimate.

In the evening, I took him to the snack street I used to go to often.

We walked and ate all the way, and after eating snacks, we found a clear bar.

Ordered a few bottles of beer, a few side dishes, listened to music quietly, and chatted about our common topics (music, fitness, cars, digital).

I have always wanted a boyfriend who can accompany me to drink and chat.

On the way back, he held my hand and said we should go boating in Beihai, ride bikes on Changan Street, watch the sunset at Jingshan...

——————

Saving this diary, he closed the computer.

Wen Wen Ruan stood up and stretched.

The pajamas on her body presented an exaggerated curve.

Outside the window, the city's night view was quiet and gorgeous, making her gaze slightly lost.

Facing this city where she had lived for many years again, the repression and pain of the past had all disappeared, leaving only nostalgia and appreciation.

The feeling of love is so beautiful, instantly smoothing out the scars that had accumulated in her heart for many years.

She walked into the bedroom on tiptoe.

Tang Song was already asleep, his body rising and falling rhythmically with his breathing.

Wen Wen Ruan crawled into the quilt and turned to her side.

In the warm atmosphere lighting, she looked at him quietly, her heart full of sweetness and security.

I really hope this day will never end!

June 28, 2023, Wednesday, cloudy turning to thundershowers, 22~30c.

Fengda International Hotel, 12th floor, deluxe king room.

"Ding-a-ling—"

The phone rang non-stop.

Shen Shen Yu Yan sat up from the bed abruptly, rubbing her somewhat sore forehead.

Since Sunday, she had been in a state of insomnia and dreaming almost every day, and her spirit was very poor.

Picking up the phone and looking at it, she connected the call, saying weakly, "Hello, what's wrong, Sister Qingqing?"

"Shen Yu Yan, you're not right. You haven't gotten up so late? Don't tell me you went out fooling around last night?"

"Can you speak properly?"

"Hehe, okay, I just wanted to tell you, the information you asked me to organize has been sent to you, remember to check it." Xu Qing paused, her voice playful. "By the way, before you go home this afternoon, remember to buy me some Imperial Capital delicacies and bring them back!"

"Already bought, don't worry. Okay, I'm hanging up first, bye."

"Mwah, love you, bye~"

Hanging up the phone.

Shen Shen Yu Yan opened WeChat.

【Xu Qing: Tang Song Company Introduction. pdf】

"Sigh~" A sigh sounded in the room.

That period of time happened to be the stage when she was running around seeking financing, exhausted physically and mentally.

Later, hearing Sister Qingqing say that this university classmate agreed to invest, although she believed it, she didn't really treat the other party as an investor father.

She knew the situation of Youjie Housekeeping very well; it couldn't be counted as a popular field, and there wasn't even a story to tell.

Tang Song agreed to invest without knowing anything, he must have taken a fancy to her or Xu Qing.

Just like Hou Hou Shaoyuan.

At that time, she was thinking more about what changes Tang Song's arrival would bring to the equity structure of Youjie Housekeeping.

Thinking about it now, she only felt she was exceptionally ridiculous.

24 million in funds, a professional investment team.

These obviously were enough to prove that the other party was not the same kind of person as a small rich second generation like Hou Hou Shaoyuan.

I'm really stupid, really!

I should have investigated him clearly earlier, I should have understood him better, I should have attached more importance to his investment commitment!

Sitting at the desk, she opened the computer.

Clicked on the PDF file Xu Qing sent.

Seeing the first line of text, Shen Shen Yu Yan's heart jumped violently.

"Songmei Clothing Trading Co., Ltd..."

She read it several times, the expression on her face becoming more and more painful.

Breathing rapidly, her head was buzzing.

"Gao Gao Mengting! It's her company!"

Scenes from when she was at the Entrepreneurship Incubation Park instantly surfaced in her mind.

Bentley Continental, Songmei Clothing Trading Co., Ltd., Deputy General Manager.

Shen Shen Yu Yan bit her teeth hard, breathing rapidly.

So she had caught Tang Song's express train!

9:00 AM.

Shen Shen Yu Yan closed the laptop.

Absent-mindedly washed up, put on light makeup, changed into casual clothes, and walked toward the buffet restaurant downstairs.

According to the information Xu Qing gave, and the information she just checked.

The development of Songmei Clothing could be said to be very smooth, possessing high-end independent office space in Yunxi Building, and is now vigorously recruiting employees.

Live-streaming sales are in full swing, and the sales volume of the Douyin shop is gratifying.

Gao Gao Mengting, Guo Guo Liyuan.

Songmei Clothing, Fanfu Suzi.

Live e-commerce, online short dramas.

Two girls who were once shrouded in her light are now walking in front of her.

They are in the most popular field, and with capital support like Tang Song, their future is limitless.

It can be expected that their future will throw her further and further away!

Regret, accompanied by unwillingness, gnawed at her heart.

Originally, she had an opportunity to reverse her life and cross the class, but it slipped through her fingers just like that!

Tang Song! Tang Song!

Do you think I still have a chance?

Walking out of the elevator door, turning a corner along the corridor.

Shen Shen Yu Yan scanned the lobby inadvertently and stopped instantly.

On the sofa in the rest area sat a handsome and upright boy with an outstanding temperament.

He belonged to the type you could see at a glance in the crowd.

The key was that this boy was simply too familiar, could be said to be the person she thought about day and night.

Tang Song!

How could he be here!

Shen Shen Yu Yan hurriedly returned to the elevator hall and tidied up her hairstyle in front of the metal mirror.

She "ha-ed" again to confirm there was no bad smell in her mouth.

Looking at herself in the mirror.

Although she really wanted to go back upstairs to redo her makeup, she was worried about missing this rare chance encounter.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Shen Yu Yan adjusted her mindset, held her head high, and walked toward the rest area.

The rhythmic sound of "da da da" footsteps approached, instantly attracting Tang Song's attention.

Their eyes met.

A fresh and bright smile appeared on Shen Shen Yu Yan's face. "Tang Song, I really didn't expect to run into you here. It seems we are really destined, right?"

Looking at the suddenly appearing Shen School Beauty, Tang Song nodded in astonishment. "Good morning, Shen Yu Yan, you also live here? Here in the Imperial Capital for a business trip?"

Immediately after, he thought that Xu Qing did say that Shen Shen Yu Yan was coming to the Imperial Capital to sign an investment agreement.

Just didn't expect that she would also stay at Fengda International.

Looking at it this way, it really was quite destined.

"Mm-hmm." Shen Shen Yu Yan brushed her hair, letting her exquisite face be fully revealed. "I live on the 12th floor. By the way, have you had breakfast..."

Before she could finish her sentence.

A magnetic mature woman's voice sounded behind her: "Did you run into an acquaintance?"

Shen Shen Yu Yan was stunned and turned around in surprise.

Immediately after, she saw a woman in a white dress approaching.

Her figure was mature and sexy, her temperament elegant and calm.

Walking with a thousand kinds of charm, she was a very charming woman.

Their gazes met.

Shen Shen Yu Yan's eyes flickered, and a storm surged in her mind.

Who is she?

Looking at that pure and sweet school beauty face, and then looking at Tang Song.

Wen Wen Ruan raised her eyebrows slightly, gently took his arm, and said in a gentle voice, "Song, I've bought the things, we should go." ===== CHAPTER 273 =====
