Chapter 276 Wen Ruan and Shen Yuyan
September 2023, 6, Tuesday, cloudy, 27~26℃.

Yancheng, Building B, Huayun Center, Guangying Media Headquarters.

A tense and depressing atmosphere permeated the office area.

The employees sat at their workstations with solemn expressions, their eyes revealing uneasiness and anxiety.

In the WeChat group, the chat screen is constantly refreshed.

The company has been in development for 15 years and is considered the leader in Yancheng's advertising agency sales industry.

However, the main customer groups are basically concentrated locally.

Although it has branches and agencies in several first-tier cities, even the largest branch in the capital has only more than a dozen people and has not yet formed any scale.

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

The emergence of Meigou Technology is undoubtedly a historic breakthrough.

A top domestic Internet company was actually taken over by them!

Not to mention the annual sales of at least 5000 million yuan.

Once this client case is completed, the reputation and credibility of Guangying Media will be greatly enhanced.

It is a milestone in the company's development.

Now that the cooperation has come to nothing, it is a huge blow to the company's leadership and shareholders.

The employees also sensed a sense of impending storm.

"Thump, thump, thump--" A burst of hurried footsteps came from the inner office.

Immediately afterwards, Sales Manager Liang Xiaoli trotted towards the conference room.

Still holding the phone in his hand, he said anxiously, "Boss Wang, our two companies have been cooperating for 6 years, and everything has been going smoothly. We have also witnessed the rise of Chengyuan Real Estate. Please give us another chance!"

"The rebates and quotations we offer are absolutely the most conscientious prices in the industry, and you should be aware of this."

"Please wait a moment! I'll let our President Zhang talk to you in person!"

...

Many employees were startled when they heard Manager Liang's voice.

Chengyuan Real Estate is a leading local real estate company in Yan Province. Its properties are positioned in the mid-to-high-end segment and it is committed to building its brand image. Its annual advertising and operating expenses are over 10 million yuan.

Stable, long-lasting and fast payment.

It is one of the most important customers of Guangying Media.

For such a big client to suddenly terminate cooperation with them can have a huge impact.

Even the new media operations department and channel business department will lay off employees.

Timid discussions were heard in the office area.

"What happened to the company? I heard this morning that three media agencies cancelled their cooperation with us."

"Not only that, yesterday three leading media companies sent a notice to our company, asking us to conduct a performance evaluation on us."

"I have seen the notice. If the advertising sales, customer acquisition, etc. do not meet the agency conditions, the media will terminate the contract with us according to the terms of the contract."

"Could it be that Chengyuan Real Estate terminated the contract with us for this reason? If so, will other major customers do the same?"

...

As an online advertising marketing and media agency company, Guangying Media’s most core resource is “media”.

For example, the advertising resources of large companies such as Toutiao, Baidu, and Penguin.

They act as intermediaries, helping companies place and operate advertisements on them.

If these companies cancel their agency authorization, their customers will definitely not accept it.

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

...

In the large conference room.

The company's senior executives all had frowned brows and looked worried.

Chairman and CEO Zhang Shun leaned forward with an expressionless face, his elbows resting on the table, and his slightly pale mouth opened.

In a heavy tone, he said, "Since Meigou Technology suddenly terminated the contract yesterday, we have received cancellation notices from four major customers and seven media outlets. What do you think?"

Suddenly, noisy discussions broke out.

The contracts between these major customers and them are signed according to the execution period, basically once a month.

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

The specific cooperation model is account recharge and consumption.

In this way, if one media does not work well, you can switch the media immediately.

Correspondingly, the cost for the other party to cancel cooperation is also low.

They had no countermeasures at all and were very passive.

On the contrary, the media is not in a hurry, after all, the agency contracts signed are in units of years.

If they want to cancel Guangying Media's agency rights, they need to come up with a reasonable and legal excuse, otherwise they will have to pay compensation according to the contract.

"Ding-ling-ling——" the cell phone rang quickly.

Seeing the caller's information, Zhang Shun subconsciously exerted force with his fingers and crumpled a piece of A4 paper into a ball.

Take a deep breath and answer the phone.

Zhang Shun said with a smile on his face: "Hey, Mr. Xu, long time no see. I was just thinking of finding a chance to invite you for tea."

Then, the smile on his face froze, and he said in a serious tone: "Jinxiu Commerce is our most important partner of Guangying Media. Please believe that we will definitely get through this crisis."

"Even if we don't have the agency rights for the media you need, we can still run it through other media companies. You should know my connections and reputation, and the price will remain the same as it is now."

"ok, I get it."

"Boss Xu, we have always had a good personal relationship. I want to hear the truth from you. Why do you want to cancel the cooperation with us?"

"Inconvenient? I see. Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Shun was already covered in sweat.

The most terrifying thing is the unknown.

Until now, they haven't heard any news about each other.

"Mr. Zhang, I think the betrayal of Meigou Technology yesterday must have been a trick by the other party." Li Xuechao, director of the brand department, said: "The other party may know that Wenruan is no longer in the project team, and just use her as an excuse."

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

Lost all face in the company.

Not to mention being promoted to vice president, it is still unclear whether he can continue to serve as general manager of the branch.

Li Xuechao is in charge of the company's brand business. He often travels to the capital on business trips and has a good personal relationship with Liu Chuanzheng.

That's why I bring it up at this time to help clear it up.

Zhang Shun knocked on the table and his eyes changed.

Thinking about the arrangements for Liu Chuanzheng.

"Knock, knock, knock—" There was a knock on the door of the conference room.

The president's assistant walked in quickly, "Boss Zhang, Boss Bai from Jingwu Capital is here! He's already been arranged in the reception room!"

In an instant, the sounds of chairs being moved and people standing up were heard one after another.

Everyone stood up.

Immediately afterwards, five directors led by Zhang Shun walked quickly towards the reception room.

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

After some greetings, everyone sat down on the sofa.

Zhang Shun crossed his arms and said nervously, "Boss Bai, I believe your company has already known about the changes in our clients and media. Since we are currently in a critical period of negotiation, could you please ask Jingwu Capital to help us contact the media and mediate between us?"

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

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

That's why I came up with this idea.

With the other party's network of contacts and power, they can easily solve the troubles they encounter.

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

Hearing his words, Bai Sheng said calmly and seriously: "Mr. Zhang, we came here this time for two main reasons. The first is that we decided to suspend the acquisition of shares and investment in Guangying Media."

"This!" Zhang Shun's face changed drastically, and his eyebrows twitched violently. "Boss Bai, our company has been established for 15 years. We have experienced many difficulties, but we have persisted without exception. The current problem is not serious. Please give me a week and don't let these things affect our cooperation."

Isn't the purpose of running a company to make money?
For him, being noticed by a top investment company like Jingwu Capital is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Not only can you realize cashing out at high levels, but you can also get the support of Jingwu Capital's ecosystem.

Bai Sheng shook his head and said, "This matter has been confirmed. Of course, we are just suspending it. The Investment Committee needs to reconsider it. Secondly, we hope that Guangying Media will seriously review the dereliction of duty and illegal behavior of Liu Chuanzheng, the general manager of the Imperial Capital Branch."

Then, Lawyer Zhao beside him spread out a document.

“We, Quanjing Law Firm, were commissioned by Jingwu Capital to conduct a legal risk review of your company and found many problems.

In the past three years, Liu Chuanzheng has received large transfers from Huiguang Media on many occasions in the name of consulting services.

The legal representative of Huiguang Media is his cousin, and his business is also advertising sales. He has an agency contract with Guangying Media.

Based on a report from a former colleague, we contacted Liu Chuanzheng’s ex-wife and confirmed that there was a transfer of benefits between the company and him involving Guangying Media’s customer resources.

In addition, Liu Chuanzheng repeatedly sold branch assets at low prices, including photographic equipment and office equipment.

Bai Sheng said with a serious expression: "This involves the crime of occupational embezzlement, and according to your internal plan, Liu Chuanzheng will be the vice president of the head office next month. This is an extremely serious risk and hidden danger. We at Jingwu Capital cannot invest in such a company."

Zhang Shun looked at the documents in front of him with a terribly gloomy face.

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

Especially the head of the branch.

For example: reimbursement of fictitious business expenses and kickbacks.

Normally speaking, this is not a big deal.

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

But now the company is in a precarious situation and was counting on Jingwu Capital to help it, but ended up having such a big thing uncovered by them.

In addition, due to the conflict with Wenruan, the Meigou Technology business was aborted.

Zhang Shun, who was already in a bad mood, suddenly erupted like a volcano.

Liu Chuanzheng! Go and operate the sewing machine for me!

"Boss Bai, don't worry. I have zero tolerance for this kind of company parasites. I will make him pay the legal price, and I will also conduct a strict 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 glanced at them meaningfully and nodded calmly.

Acquisitions will certainly continue, but the valuations and terms will naturally be different.

Now Guangying Media is only in the first half of the storm. There will be even more turbulent waves coming. They have no way to resist and can only wait to be harvested.

……

11 pm.

Fengda International Hotel, Supreme Fengda Suite.

The sound of typing continued to be heard.

——————June 2023, 6.

Today is a very short day.

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

We went for a morning run together on the streets of the capital and then exercised for 40 minutes in the hotel gym.

Then I randomly walked into an alley, found a clean little shop, and ate my favorite tofu pudding, sugar-coated steamed buns, and dumplings.

In the morning, he took me to walk on the citywalk in the imperial capital. We walked from Wudaoying to Jianchang, from Guozijian to Fangjia, and finally went to Beiluoguxiang.

There are many interesting little shops along the way.

A coffee shop hidden in the alley, full of literary handicrafts, accessories, nostalgic vintage clothes, romantic bookstores...

He is very familiar with this place and feels nostalgic when talking about it.

I knew he must have come with other girls, but I was still very happy.

At noon, we went to the temple to drink tea, eat trb hutong, and chat about the surrounding furnishings.

In the afternoon, because the weather was too hot, we hid in the cinema and went to watch a movie together.

He picked a niche suspense film, and since it was a weekday, we were the only two people in the entire theater.

We can discuss the plot without lowering our voices, and we can also be intimate.

In the end, because the movie was so awful, we mostly spent time making out.

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

We walked around and ate as we went, and after finishing our snacks we found a bar.

Order a few beers and some side dishes, listen to music quietly, and chat about our common topics (music, fitness, cars, digital).

I've always wanted a boyfriend who can drink and chat with me.

On the way back, he held my hand and said, we still want to go boating in Beihai, ride a bike on Chang'an Street, and watch the sunset at Jingshan...

------

Save this diary and turn off the computer.

Wenruan stood up and stretched.

The pajamas on her body formed an exaggerated curve.

Outside the window, the night scene of the city was quiet and gorgeous, making her eyes slightly dazed.

Facing this city where I have lived for many years again, all the depression and pain I once felt disappeared, leaving only nostalgia and appreciation.

The feeling of being in love is so wonderful that it instantly heals the scars that have accumulated in my heart for years.

She tiptoed into the bedroom.

Tang Song had fallen asleep, his body rising and falling rhythmically with his breathing.

She crawled into the quilt softly and turned sideways.

In the warm ambient light, I looked at him quietly, my heart filled with sweetness and security.

I really hope this day will never end!
……

July 2023, 6, Wednesday, cloudy to thundery, 28~22℃.

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

"Jingle Bell--"

The cell phone rings non-stop.

Shen Yuyan suddenly sat up from the bed and rubbed his sore forehead.

Since Sunday till now, she has been suffering from insomnia and nightmares almost every day, and her energy level is very low.

He picked up his phone, took a look, answered the call, and said weakly, "Hello, what's wrong, Qingqing?"

"Yanyan, something's wrong with you. Why haven't you gotten up yet so late? Did you go out fooling around last night?"

"Can you talk properly?"

"Hey, okay, I just want to tell you that I have sent you the information you asked me to organize. Remember to check it." Xu Qing paused and said playfully, "By the way, before you go home this afternoon, remember to buy me some delicious food from the capital!"

"I've already bought it, don't worry, ok, I'm going to hang up now, bye."

"Mmmmm, love you, bye~"

hang up the phone.

Shen Yuyan opened WeChat.

【Xu Qing: Introduction to Tangsong Company.pdf】

"Ah~" a sigh sounded in the room.

During that period, she happened to be running around seeking financing, and was physically and mentally exhausted every day.

Later, when she heard Qingqing say that this college classmate agreed to invest, although she believed it, she did not really treat him as an investor.

She was well aware of the situation at Youjie Housekeeping. It was not a popular field and there was not even a story to tell.

Tang Song agreed to invest without knowing anything, so he must have been attracted to her or Xu Qing.

Just like 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, I just find myself extremely funny.

2400 million in funds and a professional investment team.

These are obviously enough to prove that the other party and the rich second generation like Hou Shaoyuan are not the same kind of people at all.

How stupid I am, really!

I should have investigated him earlier, I should have known him better, and I should have taken his investment commitment more seriously!
Sit at the desk and turn on the computer.

Click on the PDF file sent by Xu Qing.

When Shen Yuyan saw the first line of text, his heart skipped a beat.

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

She repeated it several times, with an increasingly painful expression on her face.

My breathing was rapid and my head was buzzing.

"Gao Mengting! It's her company!"

The scenes at the entrepreneurship incubator park immediately emerged in my mind.

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

Shen Yuyan clenched his teeth and breathed rapidly.

It turns out that she had boarded the Tang-Song express train!
...

9 o'clock in the morning.

Shen Yuyan closed his laptop.

She washed herself absentmindedly, put on some light makeup, changed into casual clothes, and walked towards the buffet restaurant downstairs.

Based on the information provided by Xu Qing and the information she just found.

The development of Songmei Clothing can be said to be very smooth. It has a high-end independent office space in Yunxi Building and is now actively recruiting employees.

Live streaming sales are in full swing, and Douyin stores are seeing encouraging sales.

Gao Mengting, Guo Liyuan.

Praise the beauty of clothing, ordinary people.

Live e-commerce, online short dramas.

The two girls who were once overshadowed by her are now ahead of her.

They are in the hottest field, and with the support of capital from companies like Tang Song, their future prospects are limitless.

It can be predicted that their future will leave her further and further behind!
Regret and resentment gnawed at her heart.

She originally had a chance to turn her life around and cross the social class barrier, but she missed it!

Tang and Song! Tang and Song!
Do you think I still have a chance?

...

Walk out of the elevator door and turn a corner along the corridor.

Shen Yuyan glanced across the hall inadvertently and stopped for a moment.

Sitting on the sofa in the rest area was a handsome and tall boy with an outstanding temperament.

The type that can be spotted in a crowd at a glance.

The key point is that the boy is so familiar that he can be said to be the one she thinks about day and night.

Tang and Song Dynasty!

Why is he here!

Shen Yuyan hurried back to the elevator hall and fixed his hair in front of the shiny metal mirror.

He took another deep breath to make sure there was no bad smell in his mouth.

Look at yourself in the mirror.

Although I really wanted to go back upstairs and put on makeup again, I was worried about missing this rare opportunity for an encounter.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Yuyan adjusted his mentality, raised his head and chest, and walked towards the rest area.

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

Eye contact.

Shen Yuyan showed a fresh and bright smile on her face, "Tang Song, I didn't expect to meet you here. It seems that we are really destined to meet, right?"

Looking at the suddenly appearing School Beauty Shen, Tang Song nodded in astonishment, "Good morning, Yuyan, you live here too? Are you in the capital on a business trip?"

Then he remembered that Xu Qing did say that Shen Yuyan would come to the imperial capital to sign an investment agreement.

I just didn’t expect that I would actually live in Fengda International.

It seems like we are destined to be together.

"Yeah." Shen Yuyan lifted her hair to show her delicate face. "I live on the 12th floor. By the way, have you had breakfast..."

She hasn't finished speaking yet.

A magnetic voice of a queen sounded behind him: "Did you run into anyone you know?"

Shen Yuyan was stunned for a moment and turned around in surprise.

Then, a woman in a white dress approached.

She has a mature and sexy figure and an elegant and calm temperament.

She walks in a charming manner and is a very attractive woman.

Eyes facing each other.

Shen Yuyan's eyes flickered, and his mind was in turmoil.

Who is she?
Looking at the pure and sweet face of the school beauty, he looked at Tang Song again.

Wenruan raised her eyebrows slightly, gently pulled his arm, and said in a gentle voice: "Song, I have bought the things, we should go out."
