Until he received the spy's tip-off this morning, Chen Zheng didn't believe that Aida would dare to stand up against the entire industry.
Gu Yanzhi was a scheming man. But this method of offending the entire industry to achieve his goal was not in line with his usual slick style.
This kind of move was more or less like a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger.
This made Chen Zheng suspect that there was someone behind Gu Yanzhi.
It was rumored that Aida's chairman intended to choose a successor from his two other sons.
Chen Zheng was eager to know who his new opponent would be. In this scandal, the other party had slapped him in the face so hard. How could he not find an opportunity to kill them off?
But the spy didn't know who this person was.
So he thought of Lin Qian.
First, she was a smart girl. Although she had just arrived at Aida, she might have already found some clues. Second, Aida was on the verge of collapse, so she might have other intentions.
…
Lin Qian said, "Mr. Chen, I really don't know what to say. Ah! They called me for a meeting. I'm sorry to hang up … "
Her finger swiped on the screen and she decisively hung up.
On the other end of the line, Chen Zheng sneered and threw the phone on the table with a "du du" sound.
The moment she turned around, Lin Qian was lost in thought for a moment.
She had a feeling that there would soon be an even more intense battle between Aida and SMQ.
But wasn't this the mall?
She raised her head with an indifferent expression.
In the hurried crowd, the first person she saw was Li Zhicheng. He stood there, hands in his coat pocket, and seemed to be looking in her direction. Actually, he looked even better in a formal coat, handsome, clean, and eye-catching. If his photo was posted on the Internet, he would definitely be the most handsome security guard in history, and he would become famous overnight.
Lin Qian smiled at him, turned around, and went into the room.
The press conference went very well.
At two o 'clock in the afternoon, Gu Yanzhi sat in the middle of the podium in a well-ironed black suit.
Below the stage, the whole place was filled with reporters, holding their cameras and holding their breaths, waiting for him to speak. Lin Qian sat in the staff seat at the end of the conference hall, her heart in her mouth.
Under the spotlight, he looked around with a smile and said,
"With regard to the case of contaminants detected in the AD509 women's handbag, which has received widespread attention recently, Aida makes the following public statements and promises:
First, we have detected that the source of pollution is the fabric provided by the European agent. Aida stopped working with them and filed a lawsuit.
Secondly, no matter what the outcome of the lawsuit was, as long as the customer bought the product from Aida, Aida would be responsible to the end. Therefore, we have decided to recall this batch of products and give customers a full refund. Aida would be the first to bear all the losses.
… "
The first question was asked by a reporter from Lin City Daily, "Hello, President Gu. As far as I know, all the high-end luggage companies in the country are involved in this pollution incident. When the whole industry remained silent, why was Aida the first to speak up? "
Gu Yanzhi smiled faintly and said, "For Aida, the most important thing is not to compare ourselves with others, but to fulfill our promises to our customers. We are the first to stand up, but I believe that we will not be the last. "
Lin Qian, who was sitting at the back, was slightly stunned.
So even the reporters were arranged beforehand …
This question and answer was dignified, but it immediately dragged his competitor into the water.
She looked up at Gu Yanzhi on the rostrum. He was so sneaky.
The second question was, "Aida's business performance in the past few years has not been ideal. Will the huge losses this time put the company in a difficult position? "
This time, Gu Yanzhi did not answer immediately, but hesitated for a moment.
"Indeed, there will be difficulties," he answered with a heavy expression, "but we will not use this as an excuse to shirk responsibility."
…
After the press conference, Gu Yanzhi went backstage. The first thing he did was to confirm with the secretary whether the reporter's red packet was in place. After getting a positive answer, he found a quiet corner and called Li Zhicheng in high spirits.
When the press conference had just started, he had seen Li Zhicheng's figure at the door, but now he was nowhere to be seen.
The call went through quickly.
Gu Yanzhi asked, "Are you satisfied, boss?"
"Not bad," he said in an unhurried voice.
Gu Yanzhi laughed, "I've already dropped the bombshell. You said you would take over tomorrow, so now I can relax and enjoy myself. I'm going to have dinner with the media later. How are you leaving? "
"I'll drive back to the company."
Lin Qian cleaned up the venue with her colleagues and took some time to browse the industry news on her phone.
The effect of the press conference was better than she had expected.
Before this, the top three hot news in the industry were "Cancer Scandal," "New Bori's CEO Ning Weikai on the Cover of Fortune Weekly," and "New Bori and SMQ Compete for Ming Sheng Group's Big Deal."
Now, "Aida Press Conference" was ranked third, and the search volume and attention were still rising.
Everyone was a little excited, including Lin Qian.
There were a lot of things at the scene, so Lin Qian and a few young colleagues stayed behind to move things up and down to the parking lot.
After a few trips, she walked back to the elevator in the parking lot and saw Li Zhicheng walking out.
This was the first time they had been so close since he "stared" at her that night.
Their eyes met. He saw her, but his face was cold. He walked around her and continued to walk forward.
Lin Qian, who was doing hard work, was happy and immediately stopped him, "Hey, don't go yet."
He stopped walking.
Lin Qian asked for his help, so she said politely, "Li Zhicheng, security guard Li, there are a lot of things up there. Can you send a few of your men to help us? "
Li Zhicheng looked up at her, his eyes were dark.
Lin Qian put her palms together, "Thank you very much!"
Li Zhicheng said, "… Okay."
After Lin Qian got in the elevator, Li Zhicheng also walked into the parking lot and got in a Hummer.
As he started the car, he took out his phone and called Gu Yanzhi.
Gu Yanzhi was already at the table, chatting happily with the people in charge of the media. He was surprised to receive a call from Li Zhicheng, "What's up?"
"Send some people to the task force."
Lin Qian didn't expect there would be more changes that night.
The task force took a bus, and it was already dark when they drove back to the entrance of Aida Group. The winter night was especially cold, and there were few people on the road. A group of people got out of the bus, carrying things in their hands.
Lin Qian was responsible for checking the items, so she was the last to get out of the bus. The others were already far away. She had just walked a few steps when she suddenly felt something was wrong.
Then, he suddenly heard a loud "dong" sound.
She was shocked, and then there were several "bang" sounds. She was so scared that she dropped the things in her hands and squatted on the ground, holding her head. She looked up hurriedly, and sure enough, countless stones flew out from the dark, hitting the bus and the gate of the group beside her.
Lin Qian was just about to dodge to the side when she heard a "bang" sound. Something hit her ankle hard, and she instantly became numb.
After the numbness, she felt a sharp pain.
Everything happened so fast that the two security guards at the door were dumbfounded and rushed forward.
Then there were a few sharp and heavy engine sounds, and a few heavy motorcycles drove out from the dark under the shade of the trees. They whizzed away, and the security guards couldn't catch up in time.
"Aida cheated the consumers!"
"We will never forgive Aida's fake apology!"
In the distance, many people shouted together, and then there was a faint sound of smashing and shouting.
Lin Qian was really scared. Her right ankle was in great pain, and when she looked down, she saw a faint bruise, and it had started to bleed.
A security guard helped Lin Qian stand up and said, "Are you okay? Damn, where did these hooligans come from? "The other security guard was also indignant." What's wrong with these people? The group has already apologized and taken responsibility for the loss, and they still want to make trouble? "
Lin Qian endured the pain and said, "They are not ordinary people."
Although a few days ago, after the scandal, there had been consumers who came to the group or its affiliated stores to make trouble, but her intuition told her that today would be different.
A security guard said, "I'll call the police right now!"
Lin Qian immediately stopped him, "Don't call the police yet! Let me ask Mr. Gu first. "
Once the news got out, tomorrow's hot news would probably add another article: Consumers refused to accept Aida's apology, got into a physical fight with Aida's staff, etc.
What was originally good news might become hard to distinguish, black and white mixed up, or even become a scandal.
Five minutes later.
With the help of a security guard, Lin Qian slowly walked to the group's infirmary.
She had just called Gu Yanzhi, and as she had expected, Gu Yanzhi pondered for a moment, and after making sure there were no other people or property damaged, he said, "Don't call the police for now. Let's keep it low-key," and gave her a few words of encouragement.
After a few steps, she saw a Hummer passing by on the side of the road. Lin Qian didn't pay attention at first, until the Hummer stopped in front of the road, and someone got out.
A black windbreaker, leather shoes, and long legs.
Li Zhicheng turned his head, obviously seeing her.
Lin Qian also looked at him.
He was driving a … Hummer.
He only paused for a moment, and then walked over with long legs.
Lin Qian wasn't surprised by his sudden appearance. Isn't he the security manager? Maybe the security guard reported to him (in fact, it was Gu Yanzhi who reported it).
When he walked up to her, Lin Qian said, "I'm fine. Pay attention to strengthening the security around the perimeter tonight. "
Li Zhicheng's well-defined face was like a quiet statue in the night. He only glanced at her, and then his eyes moved down to her feet.
Then he suddenly squatted down.
Lin Qian felt her ankle being held tightly by him. From her point of view, he was looking down at the injury on her foot, his eyes calm and focused, his fingers warm and gentle.
Although Lin Qian was used to his cold face and warm heart, she was still touched. Of course, seeing him staring at her foot, she blushed and turned to the security guard next to her. "You go first, thank you. Your manager is here. It's fine."
The security guard looked a little surprised, but he was indeed responsible for guarding the gate, so he didn't say anything and hurriedly nodded and left.
She thought he was a soldier, so he must know about bruises and injuries. He probably knew everything. Lin Qian generously let him continue to look. After a while, he stood up and said in a low voice, "It's not broken to the bone."
Lin Qian was relieved and smiled at him. When she was about to thank him, she saw him turn around and walk straight away.
Lin Qian was shocked. "Wait, how could you just leave me here? Help me to the infirmary! Come back! "
The night was cold, and the streetlights made their shadows long and fleeting.
Lin Qian put one hand on Li Zhicheng's arm, and slowly walked to the building where the infirmary was located.
They didn't say anything along the way.
After a while, Lin Qian couldn't help but say, "Don't pull a long face. My injury is considered a work injury. You are responsible for the security of the company, so this is also within your scope of responsibility. "
Li Zhicheng tilted his head and glanced at her without saying a word, his eyes dark. Lin Qian found that when she looked carefully, although his eyebrows were beautiful and slender, they were in fact tall and straight, with a hint of fierceness. Especially when he stared at someone like that, it made her feel a little … hard to tell.
"Lin Qian, when did I say," he suddenly said, "that I'm the security manager?"
Lin Qian was stunned.
He didn't say anything and continued to help her walk forward.
Lin Qian looked at his face from the side.
Of course, she knew he had a close relationship with Gu Yanzhi, otherwise he wouldn't have entered Gu Yanzhi's office and taken confidential documents for him. Since he wasn't the security manager, she thought for a while and came to a conclusion.
Either he was Gu Yanzhi's assistant. Or Gu Yanzhi would arrange for him to work in another department?
However, during this period of time, he had been wandering around and hadn't done anything proper …
"Oh … then what's your position?" Lin Qian asked.
At this time, he stopped and looked at the ground.
Lin Qian followed his gaze. It turned out to be a large dirty puddle formed by the melted snow. She couldn't get through it no matter what.
"What should I do?" she asked, temporarily putting aside the question of his identity.
Li Zhicheng squatted down with his back facing her. "Get up."
Lin Qian was a little surprised by his initiative. After all, this kind of physical contact was quite intimate. But after thinking for a while, she immediately understood. He was a soldier, and during the flood, he must have carried countless victims like this. So he naturally carried her on his back.
She couldn't help but sigh again. Soldiers were really practical and useful no matter where they were.
She didn't hesitate and quickly climbed up. Unexpectedly, as soon as she held his shoulder, she felt him suddenly jump up from the ground and stride across the puddle. Lin Qian was so scared that she let out a low scream and then laughed.
"You're scary!" Lin Qian patted his shoulder. "Is this how you take care of the wounded?"
"Come down if you have any objections."
Lin Qian immediately stopped talking. There were still some puddles ahead.
After a few more steps, Lin Qian's phone rang. It was Lin Mochen.
Across the ocean, Lin Mochen's voice still sounded deep and powerful. "I saw the news."
Lin Qian immediately smiled. "Not bad, right?"
Lin Mochen smiled faintly and said, "I've already understood that information."
Lin Qian's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She subconsciously glanced at Li Zhicheng. It seemed that he couldn't hear the sound of the phone and was still walking steadily with his head down.
"Speak." Her voice also became solemn.
Lin Mochen said, "Your new boss, the second son of Aida's chairman, is very special. He's a retired soldier called Li Zhicheng. "
Lin Qian held the phone without saying anything. Looking at the man walking steadily with her on his back, she felt her temples suddenly began to throb.
