After rebirth, I want to destroy my original family
Chapter 627 Will You Apologize?
It took almost two years from the finalization to the completion and opening of the Joy City project, and the Zhou Group has been in turmoil during these two years.
The change of leadership during the period of rapid development, coupled with two consecutive layoffs, caused panic among the entire company. Especially after the failure of the two subsequent investments, Zhou Shirong's prestige, which had not been established to begin with, was further damaged.
But the most famous one is the themed Heytea store opened in front of Zhou Group.
Ordinary employees didn't care much about investment failures, but they were very interested in the "evil stepmother"'s melons, so the news spread further and further.
Sometimes rumors of a family ethics nature are more dangerous than the company's real crisis. Zhou began to have an image of dishonesty and had difficulties in various projects.
Even though Zhou Shirong asked Duan Ying to leave the company, he still couldn't stop the gossip.
Because every morning and evening when going to work, people in the company will always come across the "Evil Stepmother" themed HEYTEA. Over time, even passing dogs will chat for a while.
Some partners knew about the rumors, but still pretended to be ignorant and pointed at Heytea to ask what was going on.
During this period, Zhou Shirong kept a low profile, made no explanation, and patiently waited for the opening of Joy City.
For him, Zhou Group's new project is an opportunity to prove his ability.
People who are strong themselves don't need to pay attention to scandals.
On a Friday in mid-September, Zhou’s senior management, shareholder representatives, regional leaders and Joy City brand owners went to Beijing.
They were all dressed in suits and some were accompanied by bodyguards. A group of people poured into the hotel's conference room for a pre-opening discussion.
"How are the marketing activities planned for tomorrow and the next two days?"
"On Saturday and Sunday, we arranged an overall marketing campaign, four small-scale special events, and invited an idol group to help."
"What about advertising?"
"We bought the most prime time slots for online advertising in Beijing. In addition, we also distributed promotional posters through various offline channels."
Zhou Shirong nodded slightly after listening to it. After sorting out the process, he felt that this matter was basically foolproof.
With the help of weekend traffic and early advertising, Jiuxiang should no longer be afraid of deep alleys.
He stood in front of the huge glass window on the third floor with his hands in his pockets, looking at the extensive roads outside and the residential area for sale on the left, and took a deep breath.
Tomorrow, the whole street will be congested for Joy City.
After the discussion, Joy City held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the square at the main entrance, with many media present.
Representatives of Zhou Group and cooperating brands came on stage together, with colorful flags flying and shutter sounds ringing.
Zhou Shirong stood on the stage in a suit and tie, looking calm and resolute, like an entrepreneur in TV dramas.
But the one who attracted the most attention was another elegant woman, Duan Ying who was standing next to Zhou Shirong.
At that time, she was dressed elegantly and walked slowly from the backstage to the front of the stage. She picked up a pair of scissors and actually participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which was really surprising.
You know, because the Zhou Group was caught up in a public opinion storm some time ago, Duan Ying hasn't appeared in public for a long time. Now she appears at such an important event as soon as she appears, it's hard not to be surprised.
This is the protagonist in the "evil stepmother" incident. She left Zhou's company in a low-key manner, but now she appears in the ribbon-cutting ceremony in a high-profile manner, as if she represents a certain attitude.
"Where's Andy?"
"The nanny watched and fell asleep in the hotel, but he was clamoring to go out to play."
"I've been busy for so long, and I'm tired. Let's wait until Monday. After Joy City is up, I'll spare three days to take you out to play."
As Zhou Shirong spoke, he exerted a little force with the scissors in his hand and cut the red silk in front of him.
Maybe many people think that Duan Ying suddenly left the company last year because the "evil stepmother" incident was exposed, but in terms of business purposes, it was just a means to quell outside rumors and a strategy to reverse the company's unhealthy trends.
It's like a company is involved in an employee scandal, so they just assign him a temporary job and then fire him.
However, it is impossible for Zhou Shirong to prevent Duan Ying from showing up all the time.
Because if Duan Ying is really not allowed to show up, the rumors about the so-called "vicious stepmother" will be confirmed, and everyone will think that Zhou Shirong really handles his family relationships badly.
This situation has brought the greatest negative impact to Zhou's company, and Zhou Shirong's prestige in the company will no longer be established.
Therefore, in a situation that he can control, he wants to increase Duan Ying's exposure and convey that the scandals are nonsense to re-establish her image.
Some companies refuse to admit their mistakes, but that's just the way it is. The world doesn't care about the truth, but prefers to add insult to injury.
At this time, he dared to let Duan Ying show up because the media at the scene were all invited by him with money, and they knew what to ask and what not to ask.
Duan Ying was also very elegant at this moment, with the temperament of a wealthy wife from a wealthy family revealed without a doubt, and she did not look at all embarrassed by being attacked by public opinion.
No matter how many scandals there are, or if a milk tea shop is opened in front of Zhou's, do you really think it will affect me? Sorry, I will still attend such an important event in a high-profile manner and will not be affected at all.
"Mr. Zhou, what is the opening target for Joy City?"
"I can't estimate this, but I hope it can surpass the best results of all comprehensive shopping malls in this area."
Zhou Shirong smiled slightly and pointed his sword at Wanzhong Square.
Because currently in this area, there are only two large comprehensive shopping malls, Joy City and Baihua Valley.
"What is the future development direction of Joy City?"
"Joy City hopes to collect rents from well-known brands around the world and build the most popular comprehensive shopping mall in the country."
"So where will Joy City choose its next project? Will it be in Shanghai?"
"We have this plan, and we will welcome major brands to cooperate with Joy City."
Zhou Shirong was answering the question, and when he glanced, he noticed that a microphone had quietly left the press team: "Mrs. Zhou, today is a happy day. As Mr. Zhou's good wife, can I ask you a few questions?"
Duan Ying was stunned for a moment, then said elegantly: "Of course."
"The "Evil Stepmother" themed milk tea shop opened in front of Zhou's Group. Do you have anything to say about it?"
"?"
"Are you afraid to say it?"
"Those are just nonsense."
"What about your relationship with Mrs. Gu? Is it the same as the rumors say?"
"This is a family matter and has nothing to do with the Joy City project. It is better for everyone to focus on our Joy City and Joy City's cooperative brands."
"Pintuan's valuation has surpassed Zhou's at the beginning of the year. People are saying that Mrs. Gu's value is far greater than Mrs. Zhou's. For business purposes, will Mrs. Zhou choose to apologize to Mrs. Gu?"
"I said this is a family matter, you...which media are you from?"
The reporter in a windbreaker held out the microphone and said, "Mrs. Zhou, we are the self-media of Tonight's Headlines, the official account of the business section. Will you apologize?"
Zhou Shirong couldn't help but stand up and said, "Sorry, we don't answer personal questions."
"Oh, you don't dare answer personal questions."
"?"
"What about Mr. Zhou? Will you apologize? All these years, you didn't know anything about what Mrs. Zhou did? Your daughter is worth far more than you are. How do you view this issue?"
"Didn't I tell you that I won't answer any personal questions today?"
"I dare not answer, but we dare to ask. Dear shareholders, all the popular brands under Pintuan are unwilling to cooperate with Joy City. Do you think it is related to the previous stepmother controversy?"
"Dear brand partner CEOs, are you worried that if you cooperate with Joy City, you will lose the qualification to join the group supply chain?"
Zhou Shirong's face changed and he immediately waved his hand to end the interview. Under the escort of bodyguards, he hurriedly left the scene with Duan Ying.
The other media reporters held their breaths, saying in their hearts, Oh my God, what the hell!
Those of us who get paid don’t dare to ask. It’s you self-media who are the better ones. You are like the king of hell!
"Thank you for your hard work, representatives. I have arranged the banquet. Everyone, please move on."
At this time, the delegation retreated to the interior of the mall. Not many people spoke, and the atmosphere was very strange.
Zhou Shirong coughed once, trying to bypass what was happening on stage and invited everyone to the banquet.
After the words fell, an old man on crutches came out from one of the shareholders and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Boss Zhou, I won't eat, but I have something to say. If something affects the company's development, it still needs to be properly handled."
"Yes, Director Chen, you are right."
"At present, Internet companies are developing rapidly. The real estate industry and the Internet industry will be more and more closely integrated. Family matters are small, but company matters are big. This involves the livelihood of many people. You should clearly distinguish the priorities, right?"
"Director Chen, I understand all this, so don't worry."
"I have watched you grow up, and I have a good personal relationship with your father. But you also know that in business, you can't get away with it. There is no such thing as having the best of both worlds. It depends on which one you choose. I'll start with you. gone."
"I'll see you off."
Zhou Shirong followed and took Mr. Chen to the parking lot through the west gate.
At this time, Duan Ying, who stayed where he was, clenched his fists tightly, feeling a mixture of anger and resentment that was difficult to vent.
Could it be that I will never be able to appear in public again in my life? Could it be that I can only hide in seclusion for my whole life!
That Gu Ming, relying on his wealthy family and power, acted recklessly and didn't even know how to respect his elders. He actually made himself lose face in such a big event as the opening of Joy City!
Duan Ying didn't care what the media said or how the outside world discussed it, but the reporter who suddenly came out just now asked really heart-wrenching questions.
Popular brands are unwilling to cooperate with Joy City, and current brands may lose their qualifications to join the group supply chain.
This is not a problem, this is a warning.
Because Tonight’s Headlines itself is Gu Ming’s mouthpiece!
He just wanted to speed up the pace and let Zhou's partners and shareholders know that he had influenced the development of Zhou Group, and Mr. Chen just now had obviously thought so.
