January 15th, 4: 50 in the afternoon.
In the most luxurious hotel in the city, in the brightly lit press conference room.
Charles, Chen Zheng, and the staff of DG China were looking forward to it.
Below the stage, the reporters were all holding their cameras and looking back at the entrance of the conference room from time to time, wanting to see the face of the founder of the Glamorous brand that had been rising rapidly in recent days.
The rumor was that the low-key invisible tycoon, the creativity and design of the brand all came from her. She had left the company to the professional managers to manage, but this time she flew to Lin City in person to sign the share transfer agreement.
In fact, within the DG company, there were also many people who opposed this acquisition.
They felt that at such a critical moment of national sentiment, DG stood out to announce that it had acquired another company, which was really adding fuel to the fire and would arouse even stronger resistance.
However, Charles stood his ground against the crowd.
In his view, the Chinese were different from the Americans. In the pursuit of ideals and fairness, the Chinese were often only passionate for a while. When the passion passed, or they encountered a big setback, the passion would magically fade, and they would lack tenacity.
So Charles felt that pulling Glamorous to his side at this moment was not adding fuel to the fire, but pouring a bucket of cold water on the heads of the resisters. People's enthusiasm would not become higher, on the contrary, because of the setback, it was very likely to be depressed.
And there were other benefits to forming an alliance with Glamorous: not only could it whitewash the peaceful appearance of the good cooperation between Chinese and foreign investors, but it could also cause a blow to Li Zhicheng's alliance and shake the military's morale. Moreover, Glamorous was indeed a very profitable brand. It was like fresh blood being injected into the DG group.
With this fresh blood, DG would probably be able to overcome this crisis.
Time passed by minute by minute. The atmosphere in the conference room slowly became restless.
5 o 'clock. It was already past the signing time.
The female lead had not appeared yet.
The reporters had already begun to whisper and looked up frequently. Charles, who was sitting in the first row, still maintained a spring breeze-like smile on his face, and turned his head to look at Chen Zheng.
"Why isn't she here yet?!" He lowered his voice.
Chen Zheng's heart was actually a little unsettled.
He stood up, "I'll go and have a look."
When he arrived at the backstage work room, a subordinate walked towards him, his face was full of panic and disbelief, "Boss Chen! They just called and said that they won't sign the contract and apologized to us … "
Chen Zheng was instantly stunned.
He almost roared, "Give me the phone!"
"The contact person over there has already turned off his phone …"
The lights above their heads flickered, and the discussions outside grew louder and louder. When it entered Chen Zheng's ears, it was like the buzzing of a mosquito.
His breathing became shallow and rapid.
This was the first time in his many years in the business world that he had met a partner who turned hostile so quickly and had no credibility.
A thought flashed through his mind. How is this possible?
Recalling their interactions over the past few days, it was clear that they were extremely interested. Furthermore, the other party was haggling over the price. If he wasn't sincere, he wouldn't have behaved this way.
The most frightening thing about signing a contract was that the other party would suddenly give up at the last moment when the negotiation was going well. It would only make you so angry that all the blood in your chest was stuck in your heart, but you had nowhere to vent it.
Because as long as there was no signature on the paper, the two parties had no rights and obligations, and no legal liability.
But today, with the other party's suggestion and Charles's agreement, Chen Zheng invited dozens of media outlets to promote this collaboration. If they were slapped in the face in front of so many media outlets, the already unstable DG China would become a complete joke in the eyes of the public! The people's resistance would be even more intense!
Thinking of this, Chen Zheng suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Could it be … that this was a trap?
With a face full of anger, he slowly turned his head and looked at the splendid conference hall outside.
He remembered that Charles had said that as long as DG China held on to its last breath and didn't make any mistakes, it would be able to survive.
Do you still have this breath of air?
"5: 30, Lin City Economic Channel."
When he received this text message, Li Zhicheng was sitting in the conference room of Aida Group, having a meeting with several executives.
He calmly put the phone back on the table and looked up at everyone, "Let's pause for a moment." He looked at Jiang Yuan, "Turn on the TV."
Except for Gu Yanzhi, who was on assignment, all the important people were present at the moment. Liu Tong, Xue Mingtao … Hearing the boss's words, they all looked at the LCD screen on the wall with great interest.
It was reporting the news.
The reporter stood under a splendid hotel building and reported solemnly, "… this afternoon, in the conference hall of Beihai Shengting Hotel on this building, there will be an equity signing ceremony between DG Group and the Glamorous brand. However, it's already past five o 'clock, and the person in charge of the Glamorous brand still hasn't shown up. We also saw some protesters at the entrance of the hotel, still holding all kinds of slogans against the acquisition … "
Only a few people present knew that Lin Qian had founded the brand independently. At this time, Xue Mingtao, who was the most familiar with her, laughed first, "I knew it! It's an empty fort strategy, she actually fooled them directly! "
Liu Tong also shook his head and laughed.
And Li Zhicheng looked at the TV calmly and didn't say anything.
How dare she.
A newly founded small brand dared to openly offend DG. Even if DG was going downhill, it would still be easy to shut her down.
But Li Zhicheng felt a faint joy in his heart.
This woman could do whatever she wanted just because she had his backing.
At this time, the reporter's voice suddenly rose a little, "… just received a message from a colleague, the founder of the Glamorous brand has returned to Lin City and is now at the airport. Next, let's switch the picture to the airport … "
In the conference room, everyone was more attentive.
And when Li Zhicheng heard the four words "returned to Lin City", he clearly felt his heart skip a beat. Ji Shizhen's eyes darkened.
Finally, she knew she was back.
The woman he set free.
At the same time, in many places of this city, under the LCD advertising screens on the street, among the protesters downstairs of Beihai Shengting Hotel, many people's homes, in the office building of Aida Group … and at the scene of the DG press conference where the media was just about to leave, the news spread like wildfire. Many people were watching TV, or taking out their phones, or sitting in front of their computers, directly watching this explosive news.
Even Charles and Chen Zheng, avoided the media's capture, stood in the workshop with a sullen face, watching the TV on the wall.
On the screen, the airport terminal appeared.
The sky was already a little dark, the bright lights of the entrance and exit of the terminal were exceptionally clear. From afar, a woman in a navy blue coat, high heels, wearing sunglasses, was walking out, surrounded by a group of people, pushing her luggage.
Several media waiting at the door swarmed up.
"Ms. Lin, Ms. Lin!"
"Excuse me, did you come back to Lin City this time to sign the share agreement with DG Group?"
"Why did you just arrive, it's already past the signing time. Is the flight delayed? "
Don't ask how the media knew her surname was Lin, they knew that she was returning to Lin City at this time.
Of course, someone leaked the inside information.
Otherwise, how could Charles and Chen Zheng, who were also standing in front of the TV, be so angry that the muscles on their faces began to tremble.
"Sorry, President Lin doesn't answer questions!" The secretary next to her was very responsible, trying to drive the media away.
But at such a critical moment, how could the reporters be willing to leave? The flashing lights became more and more intense, blocking the exit.
In such chaos and expectation, Lin Qian suddenly stopped, reaching out her hand to ask the secretary and subordinates in front of her to step aside.
"It's okay, if you have any questions, just ask." The woman's voice was gentle and polite. Although she was still wearing sunglasses, it still couldn't hide the fair and beautiful outline of her face. She stood in front of everyone in simple but elegant clothes, with a smile on her lips, it was easy to make people like her.
So the reporters were silent for a moment.
Then there was a burst of more heated questions and questions.
"Will you sell the Glamorous brand to DG?" a loud voice asked.
It was also the most sensitive and important question.
All the cameras were pointed at her.
And outside the cameras, everyone watching the live news was also waiting for the woman's answer.
In the night, the woman's sunglasses reflected the faint light, her well-defined chin looked very young.
She was silent for a moment. This silence caused everyone's hearts to tighten even more.
And Li Zhicheng looked at the woman on the screen that he hadn't seen for a long time. Her long black hair was like a waterfall, and her figure was graceful. He didn't care what she was talking about. Just watching her walk out of the airport, it was as if he had already seen this woman walking back into his arms.
Yu Gui, IKEA, IKEA.
He slightly lowered his eyes, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip. The tea was Mengding Sweet Dew, clear and slightly yellow, leaving a lingering fragrance in his mouth.
"Never."
A clear female voice, a firm tone.
There was even a smile on her face, and after a pause, she said in a more serious tone, "Never."
At this moment, many people's hearts were quiet. Human emotions were a very strange thing. Hearing this faint "never", in people's hearts, some kind of emotion seemed to be stirred up violently and began to ferment in their hearts.
The protesters gathered downstairs of the hotel, their reaction was more direct and intense. They cheered and laughed, threw away the protest cards in their hands, and applauded loudly. Someone had already started to shout, "Glamorous! Well done! "
And the people who were more quiet but more excited were the thousands of Aida employees. The news that Lin Qian had betrayed Aida had spread among them unknowingly. Some people didn't believe it at all, some were skeptical, and some didn't know Lin Qian well, so the more they thought about it, the more they hated her.
But now, they had seen it clearly.
Just as Lin Qian had hoped.
At the airport, the circle of reporters was obviously in a commotion because of her answer.
"Then why did you sign the contract with DG Group before?" someone asked.
Lin Qian naturally began to play tricks with this kind of question, and she answered with a smile, "There are a lot of uncertainties in business, and also a lot of communication problems. Are there any other questions? "
"Now a lot of people have become loyal fans of Glamorous, and they are more enthusiastic about Glamorous's micro film advertisement than watching TV series." This time it was a young female reporter who asked the question, "Boss Lin, when can the fans see the ending of Glamorous's advertisement?"
This was obviously a pleasing question.
Lin Qian also gave her a very big smile, "Thank you for telling me about the passion of Glamorous fans. I am very surprised. The third episode, also the ending … "she paused," is today, and you will see it soon. "
At this time, the secretary and assistant began to drive the reporters away again, "Okay, thank you, everyone. That's all for today. Boss Lin is going home. "
Lin Qian also smiled politely, turned around and walked to the black business car parked at the side.
"'Glamorous' was not sold to DG, but it also did not join the Chinese Luggage Enterprise Alliance!" Another voice, louder than everyone else, "Are you going to keep the brand independent?"
For a moment, everyone was quiet.
Lin Qian, who was about to get in the car, also stopped.
Outside the camera, many people were also holding their breath.
This question was asked very cleverly and sharply.
On the surface, it was asking if she wanted to keep the brand independent, but it was actually asking if the brand that had been in the limelight these days, was it going to stay alone in the war between Chinese and foreign companies?
This question was also quite offensive.
Lin Qian looked up.
The person who asked the question was a fat young man, who didn't look like a reporter, and his expression was very angry.
He should be a core member who passionately supported national brands.
At this time, the reporter standing closest to Lin Qian gave her a look, indicating that they were in the middle of a live broadcast, and whether they should stop.
But Lin Qian looked at the questioner, her expression calm and unchanging.
A sweet smile appeared at the corner of her mouth again.
"As for whether to keep the brand independent or not …" she said slowly, "If a powerful Chinese company offers me an olive branch …"
Almost everyone's hearts were in their throats because of the suspense she was keeping them in suspense.
"… such as Aida Group." Her smile became brighter and brighter, "Then I can only say, welcome to become a shareholder."
I want everyone to clearly see that I, Lin Qian, don't care to be a spy for DG.
I want to stand in front of them and impress them. I must … let them see.
When the big counterattack comes, I will be back.
It's not cool enough to come back like this.
Aida Group, welcome to become a shareholder.
Li Zhicheng stared at the woman's almost wanton smile on the screen, his heart was full of excitement. But what about the other men in the room?
Admittedly, Lin Qian's speech was undoubtedly very inspiring, and would never be sold to DG. But the person who welcomed Aida suddenly boosted their momentum, in a woman's unique arrogant way. The inspiring effect was comparable to the alliance advertisement they had done before.
But this woman, after all, was the boss's woman. At this moment, with a smile, she only said, "Welcome to become a shareholder of Aida." In the eyes of these men who knew, it seemed like a declaration of love. Moreover, Lin Qian's character had always been bold, straightforward, and daring.
Of course, not only Li Zhicheng who had been declared love, but Aida Group was also very proud.
Actually, Lin Qian's answer to this question was purely out of the blue. She answered it as she pleased and arrogantly as she pleased. She didn't forget about the feelings between men and women, and the declaration of love.
But how could men and women see things the same?
So, everyone's eyes stopped on the TV, holding back their laughter, intentionally or unintentionally looking at the young boss sitting in the middle.
And Li Zhicheng's eyebrows didn't move. But on his face, which never showed his emotions, a trace of imperceptible crimson slowly appeared.
He admitted that he was deeply touched by the woman's return.
In front of everyone, she expressed her loyalty and love to him.
In a subtle but passionate way.
Li Zhicheng's blood surged in his heart.
That was the feeling that this woman always brought to him. Every time his heart palpitated for her, every time he couldn't get what he wanted because of her.
A clear thought occupied his mind: he wanted to see her immediately.
He wanted to hold this woman completely in his arms.
At this time, Xue Mingtao said, "Hey."
It turned out that after the interview with Lin Qian, the news program had ended.
Then without any pause, the screen suddenly turned black.
Four words popped up in the middle:
Glamorous ending.
"Glamorous ending.
I don't mind waiting. As long as the person who waited until the end is you, it's fine. "
When these lines popped up on the screen, many people on the street almost held their breath at the same time.
In fact, the visual and sound impact they received was more obvious than Li Zhicheng and others. Because in the street and online broadcast, after Lin Qian finished saying "Welcome to Aida Group as a shareholder", the picture froze.
Then without any transition, the screen suddenly turned black.
The drum sounded, "Glamorous" appeared again.
Of course, this was also arranged by Lin Qian. She wanted to bring the biggest impact to everyone's heart!
And at this moment, the mood of many people was indeed fluctuating along with the "Glamorous". Just now, they were indignant and excited by Lin Qian's words. In the blink of an eye, the screen turned black, as if they had entered the touching story about the Glamorous brand again. His mood also became frustrated, and he became quiet.
At this moment, "Glamorous" was the focus of everyone's attention.
Compared with the previous two episodes, the overall picture and music of this episode seemed to have a hint of gentle melancholy.
Shanghai's Oriental Pearl Square, the skyscrapers … The girl in professional attire stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, holding her phone, her face full of exhaustion. "I've been quite busy recently, I won't be back for New Year's. Hmm … "
Then, the screen was divided into two pictures.
On the picture, the girl was carrying a bag, running around in the busy workplace in Shanghai; in the small rented house, she wanted to change the light bulb but fell from the chair; and in the picture, she was holding a handbag, standing in the middle of a luxurious cocktail party, smiling sweetly with her colleagues. But when she turned her head to look at the night outside the window, a trace of loneliness flashed across her face. She took out her phone and was about to make a call, but someone came over to propose a dance, so she could only put the phone back in her bag.
At the same time, the picture below was playing.
That handsome and delicate retired youth still had that cold and clean appearance. He rode a bicycle through the alleys of the town, left the office alone at night, went to eat a bowl of plain noodles on the street, and saw a wallet when he took out money, went to the CS base alone, dressed in cool camouflage, looked at the sunset with a gun, and then turned to leave in silence.
The picture changed, showing two people talking on the phone.
"It's my birthday next month, can you come to see me?" she asked.
"I'll come," he answered simply.
The girl couldn't help but laugh.
On the other end of the phone, he also laughed. The night was quiet and beautiful, endless yearning.
But the picture changed again, showing the girl sitting alone in the rented house, a small cake in front of her. She kept calling the man's phone, but it was turned off, turned off, turned off. She leaned on the table and cried, pushing the bag in her hand to the ground, everything fell out, and the room was a mess.
On the other side of the picture, it was raining heavily in the small town, and several dangerous walls of the school were on the verge of collapse. The man was working with others in the rain, and at the same time, protecting other children from the dangerous area.
"Why don't you come to see me?" she asked.
"The school …"
She hung up the phone.
In fact, this love was no different from the love of many people. She fell in love with him at a glance. But the more passionate her heart was, the more fragile the love became.
Because she was most afraid of losing him. Compared to many stable people who loved for the sake of love, this kind of love was more likely to fall from a high cliff.
Subtitles popped up: Half a year later.
The girl's clothes and makeup looked much more refined and sophisticated. She got out of a BMW, and a well-dressed young man opened the door for her.
He sent her downstairs.
"Stay with me, okay? I'll give you a stable and happy life for the rest of your life. "
The girl glanced at him.
It was a gaze that would make one's heart ache.
Clear, sad, thoughtful, and faintly tearful.
Who was she thinking of?
At this moment, the hearts of the people watching the advertisement were wrenched.
Above the two of them, on the LCD screen on the building, the advertisement for Glamorous was playing. It was a pure red backpack, looking delicate and light, with layers of zippers scattered, outlining strange and enchanting lines. A low voice was heard, "Glamorous, only for her."
The screen did not show the woman's reply.
In the blink of an eye, she had gone upstairs.
When she arrived at the door, she was stunned.
There was a package in front of the door. After opening it, she found that it was a pure red backpack, looking delicate and light, with layers of zippers scattered, outlining strange and enchanting lines.
In the outermost pocket of the backpack, there was a letter. She immediately opened it, and then her face changed.
The voice sounded at the same time, it was that person's voice.
"The bag is your favorite thing. I said that I would give you one, and today I finally made one. "
At the same time, a virtual image appeared on the screen. It was a man sitting at home, first picking up her photo and looking at it, then picking up a piece of soft red cloth, and began to look down at it.
"This is a military material, very light. You won't feel heavy even if you carry it full. "
The picture flashed quickly. It was a man picking up several military bags and comparing them, then making a comparison on the piece of red cloth.
"This pocket, you can put your wallet; in this zipper … you can put the female products that you use every month; here, you can put your cosmetics; here, you can use your ticket card for commuting to and from work in Shanghai …"
"You don't have to worry about the color, it's your favorite color, and it won't fade … Your room is always very messy, usually when you don't use it, this bag can be folded into the size of an egg, it won't take up space …"
The woman reached out to cover her face.
"I may not be able to give you too much, but I will definitely give you everything I have." His voice was low.
The woman was already in tears, grabbed the bag, and rushed downstairs. At the same time, sad music sounded, it was a girl frantically looking for the man in the crowd, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find the figure that had already left.
The picture suddenly flashed.
It was back to that dream-like small town, under that tree with dense branches and leaves.
This picture could no longer be distinguished between reality and illusion, everything was hazy.
The man was still wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers, his eyes clear and cold. But between his brows, it was obvious that he had experienced a lot. In his hand was the enchanting red backpack, standing quietly under the tree.
And the woman stood a few steps away from him, staring at him blankly.
The two of them looked at each other from afar, just like the day when they first met.
The picture suddenly faded into darkness.
The subtitles popped up again: Glamorous is only for her.
“Justforher”
Until now, the tens of thousands of fans of Glamorous completely understood the feelings and meaning of this brand.
And in their hearts, there were more complicated emotions surging.
On one hand, it was surprise.
All along, "Glamorous" had been relying on its appearance and brand image, in other words, on the emotional story contained in this brand, it had moved the majority of female consumers. Of course, the actual use of its bag, the consumers could also feel: light, convenient, and it felt very suitable for women.
But the official had never given such a detailed explanation of the product's functions.
Until today's advertisement.
It was as if you thought you were buying an item just because it was beautiful. But after you bought it, you realized that its functions were actually so powerful. It was so surprising.
And on the other hand, it was excitement.
Just now, Lin Qian's speech as the brand's founder made everyone's blood boil. And then suddenly it turned into such a poignant and touching love story. Finally, it ended with the man offering the most perfect female bag, which became the best scenery in the city.
It was obviously an ordinary love, but it was already so beautiful.
Being moved by love, intertwined with patriotism, it actually made people feel a strange kind of satisfaction and comfort.
Maybe it was because every ordinary person would have such a dream: Home, country, she (he), was everything.
"Come on! Glamorous! "
"Come on! Aida Group! "
"Come on! China bag! "
Somewhere in the square, people began to shout one after another. The last shouts almost merged into one, shaking the earth and the sky.
The night had completely darkened.
The Land Rover drove out of Aida Group, into the lingering and cold spring night. It was a short distance, but it seemed so far away.
Finally, they arrived in front of the villa.
The wheels rubbed against the ground, and the car came to a steady stop. Li Zhicheng looked up, over the green and dense grape trellises, and saw the bright orange light in the house. Someone had come back.
He was still wearing the white shirt from work, and he didn't even have time to take his coat back. He took long strides through the grape trellises, and stepped on the front steps.
He pushed the door open.
He smelled the faint fragrance of tea in his face. The house, which used to be cold and lonely, was now full of warmth and light. She hadn't taken off her coat, standing under the light, looking travel-worn, with her hands behind her back, shaking her sunglasses in her hands, and turned to look at him with a smile. Black and white eyes, slightly raised red lips, a pearl-like face, everything was as pure as when he first met her, nothing was bad.
Li Zhicheng stood at the entrance, his hand still on the door handle. His cold and tall figure seemed to still have the dampness and coldness of the night. His deep black eyes were like the most beautiful stars in the night sky, staring at her from a few steps away. Slowly, he also smiled.
