C22 Self-directed and Self-acted
Su Qiyang appeared at the staircase and asked coldly, "Where is she going?"
It was almost eight o'clock. She was not at home to accompany Yu Tong. Where was she going in a hurry?
The butler turned around and saw that it was the young master. He quickly answered. "Madam only said that something urgent happened at the magazine?"
Su Qiyang frowned and did not ask further. He changed his words and instructed, "Yu Tong will stay here from now on. Find two skilled nannies to take care of him. You also need to arrange the family doctor and school matters. "
The housekeeper had been working in Su family for more than ten years. As long as Su Qiyang called for him, he would arrange it well. However, all of this treatment obviously treated Yu Tong as little master.
He had no objections. However, the Su family wasn't a small family. If the people on the other side found out about this. . . He was afraid. . .
The butler hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do we need to remind everyone?"
His consciousness was to warn the servants to keep their mouths shut. However, Su Qiyang did not give him an answer. Instead, he gave him a profound look and left.
The butler could not grasp Su Qiyang's thoughts for a moment. However, to be on the safe side, he still gave orders.
Yu Xiaowen took a taxi to the company. Under the night sky, the entire building was filled with people. Only the magazine's floor was lit.
Now was not the time to sigh. She quickened her pace and took the elevator to the 16th floor.
"Xu Liang, Lau, come with me to the office. " After she called the two of them, she went straight to her office.
Xu Liang and Liu Fangfang saw her coming and after looking at each other, they quickly followed.
Yu Xiaowen sat behind her desk and turned on the computer. Seeing the two of them come in, she quickly asked, "Xu Liang, you were the one who followed up on Harry Blue Jewelry's interview. Tell me the situation first. "
Xu Liang hurriedly placed the documents he brought in one by one in front of Yu Xiaowen and explained, "All of our communication progress is normal and orderly. Did Harry Lan really answer every question he asked? It was just that during the interview this morning, When talking about business secrets, they repeatedly emphasized that it was confidential. Before the interview comes out, they can't disclose half a word to the public and even ask us to sign a confidentiality agreement. I think the default agreement in the industry is to keep it a secret, and it's understandable that a big company wants it to be stricter. Signed. "
Yu Xiaowen nodded at the right time. Up until now, there was no problem for him to do so.
Xu Liang got her confirmation and felt slightly relieved. He continued, "But when I got off work tonight and went home to watch the news, I found that someone published the news before us, and it was Harry Lan who asked us to keep it a secret. Now Harry Lan's public relations department also knows about this. He said he wanted to tell us about the leak. "
How could it be such a coincidence?
Yu Xiaowen's fingers were tapping something on the computer keyboard and very quickly, she found the relevant news.
Almost all the news media were reporting on the recent development of Harry Blue's international jewelry company in China.
She frowned and asked, "Did you find out which media outlets were the ones who spread the news first?"
Xu Liang shook his head and looked at Liu Fangfang. He was considering whether he should say something or not.
Lau saw his hesitation and said, "Boss, I suspect it is a great reputation. "
Among the entertainment companies with poor reputations in the industry, only a good reputation had also participated in Harry Blue's contract and was intercepted by an unknown small magazine. They would definitely hold a grudge and take revenge.
This was only Liu Fangfang's guess. Xu Liang was the first to hold a skeptical attitude. He felt that it was highly reputed to focus on the entertainment industry. It was impossible to go through so much trouble for such a professional interview.
He would not believe it until the results of the investigation were out.
Yu Xiaowen thought for a while and said, "Xu Liang, you continue to communicate with Harry Blue. Lau, let everyone continue to call the media and ask them to help put the news down first. Transfer the people who are difficult to communicate with to me. "
"Yes!"
Xu Liang and Lau went out one after another. Yu Xiaowen rubbed her nose and in the end, she still gave a call to the deputy chief editor of Flourishing Entertainment, Lee Xiang.
This Lee Xiang was her former college classmate and was very narcissistic. He always thought that of course Yu Xiaowen had a crush on him when she was in college and even publicized it everywhere. This made Yu Xiaowen have to explain all kinds of things every time at the reunion.
If it was not for the special circumstances, Yu Xiaowen really did not want to inquire about the news from him.
After the phone was connected, Lee Xiang's familiar greasy voice came from the other end of the phone, "Xiaowen, the sun came out from the west today? Why did you call me?"
Yu Xiaowen got goosebumps when she heard this. She directly pointed out the purpose of her visit and said, "Lee Xiang, I want to ask you something. "
"I knew you wouldn't come to the Treasure Hall for no reason. " Lee Xiang said in disdain, "If you are asking about Harry Lan, I am sorry that I did not take over and could not help you!"
Yu Xiaowen rolled her eyes in her heart. She did not know why she called him. Then why did he have to tease her before?
Sometimes, she really suspected that Lee Xiang did it on purpose. Who did he do it for?
But for the time being, it was not the time to pursue this matter. Yu Xiaowen caught the key point in his words and hurriedly asked, "You mean to say that Shengyu was indeed involved in this matter?"
"I don't know anything? Don't speak nonsense!" Lee Xiang quickly cut ties with him.
The more he acted this way, the more Yu Xiaowen confirmed what she was thinking. She said, "I understand. Thank you, Lee Xiang. I'll treat you to a meal later!"
"Who wants to eat your meal?!" Lee Xiang complained and unwillingly said, "Do you know that Senior Yao wants to return to the country?"
Senior Yao? Was it Yao Ziqian?
Yu Xiaowen's beautiful foxy eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked, "Yao Mr Ziqian wants to return to the country? When, what day?"
"You don't know either?" Lee Xiang's voice was inexplicably excited. He said, "I won't tell you. I'm hanging up!"
Then, the receiver really turned into a "Du Du" sound.
Yu Xiaowen stared at the phone that had been hung up. Who was this!?
When Yao Ziqian was in university, he was her and Lee Xiang's senior in the same department. They knew each other in the school news agency. He was super awesome. When he was in his third year, he was exchanged for a foreign Ivy school to study in.
It was said that after he graduated, he entered the top 500 in the world.
Senior Yao had returned to his country to develop? With his ability, he reckoned that all the magazines and entertainment companies were fighting for him. Yu Xiaowen originally wanted to use this as an excuse to rope him into her magazine. When she thought of this, she could not help but laugh at her own wishful thinking.
Dong, dong, dong!
There were three knocks on the office door.
"Come in!" Yu Xiaowen put down her phone and looked at the door. She saw Xu Liang push the door open with his shoulders down and walk in. She asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Liang did not say anything. He directly handed over the faxed that he had just received to her.
Yu Xiaowen took the phone in confusion and looked at it. Her expression became uglier and uglier. After a while, she slapped the faxed message on the desk. "What Harry Lan did was too much! He didn't even find the murderer who leaked the commercial secrets and he wants us to pay the compensation. How can there be such a good thing in the world! "
"Boss, do you believe that we didn't do it?" Xu Liang looked at her in surprise.
Yu Xiaowen answered matter-of-factly, "Of course, you are my employee. "
Without waiting for Xu Liang to be moved, she thought about it and said, "Do you think this is an act by Harry Blue Jewelry?"
"Hmm? This. . . " Xu Liang thought for a while and said, "This is not very possible, right? They have no reason to do this. "
Harland had just decided to enter the country and had no enmity with the magazine.
Yu Xiaowen nodded. She had also said it casually, but it was mainly because this matter was too strange. She could not think of anyone who wanted to harm the magazine.
She thought for a moment and said, "Xu Liang, help me arrange an appointment with Harry Blue's people. I want to go there personally tomorrow. "
Whether it was to investigate the truth or to discuss the compensation, she needed to personally make a trip.
"Okay, boss. "
After Xu Liang left, Yu Xiaowen leaned on the office chair and pretended to sleep for a while. She still did not come up with an idea. She really wanted to convince herself that there was so much work to do. However, there was a voice in her heart telling her that this matter was a hurdle.
The contract that Xu Liang signed with Hai Rui Lan was five times the compensation, three times the commission, and about five hundred thousand RMB.
Five hundred thousand was not much. But for a small magazine like her, it was a huge expense. If it was pushed to the Yu family, then her wish to separate the magazine from the rest of the world would be far away.
Xu Liang returned very quickly, and Hai Rui Lan refused to meet him.
"What they mean is that the negative impact has been caused, so it's meaningless to meet again. If we don't pay the penalty within ten days, then we'll meet directly in court!"
"Their attitude is actually so tough?" Yu Xiaowen felt that this matter was not simple. It was premeditated.
She thought about it and said, "Xu Liang, find a detective agency and find out who is behind this!"
Now it was not only for money, but also to see who was plotting against her behind the scenes.
Yu Xiaowen had been working overtime in the company all night and finally had some results. Most of the small companies received a serious warning and sent out their drafts in time.
But those large companies did not even answer the phone. Yu Xiaowen knew that everyone was working hard.
In the morning, she let her colleagues who had been busy the whole night return home. After she briefly washed up in the company, she decided that she still had to personally make a trip to Harry Blue.
On the way, she received a call from Muh Yue.
The two of them originally wanted to take Yu Tong to the amusement park to play, but she was so busy that she forgot about it.
"Sorry, I am so busy that I am confused. Let's go next weekend!"
"What's wrong? You still have to work overtime during the weekend?" Muh Yue asked her.
Yu Xiaowen told her about Harry Blue. Muh Yue heard it and said, "Why don't you ask Su Qiyang for help? Didn't Su's run a lot of jewelry businesses? They might have connections and could be of help. "
"No way!" Yu Xiaowen denied it without even thinking.
Muh Yue was puzzled, "Why?"
"He is him, I am me. I don't want to have too much involvement with him. " Yu Xiaowen replied. This was a matter of principle.
Muh Yue did not understand what she was insisting on. She said, "Then what do you plan to do? Didn't he clearly plot against you in this manner?"
"You think so too?" Yu Xiaowen asked. She thought she was the only one who thought that way.
"Of course. " Muh Yue said, "Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in this world!"
