Strongest Worker

"Xue Yuexin is about to release her sixth album, and the online pre-sale volume has broken her personal record, ranking second in the historical record, closely behind the record created by rou'er two years ago." Lin Qiuqiu said faintly with a small mouth, "In other words, after rou'er retired, Xue Yuexin occupied the right time, place and people. Now she is very popular and at the peak of her career."

Li Qing nodded, but he was still confused: "then?"

Lin Qiuqiu raised her jade hand, pulled out a thick gray folder and fell on the table in front of Li Qing: "look for yourself."

Li Qing pinched the folder in her hand and looked at it with doubts in her eyes.

This five centimeter thick folder is full of colorful newspaper clippings, large and small, and the contents involved are all reports about Xue Yuexin without exception. Gossip reporters obviously have no choice when slandering a person. The contents of the report range from Xue Yuexin's childhood suffering from domestic violence, chaos in her private life, encountering hidden rules, to being kept and excluded by dignitaries Yes, it's hard to say, it's all around.

Li Qing casually turned a few pages and stopped, closed the folder again and put it back on his desk: "these are false reports. I know Xue Yuexin very well. Although she has all kinds of problems, she is definitely a good girl and won't do these things."

"I know she is a good girl, and I know these are false news." Lin Qiuqiu leans forward slightly and stares at Li Qing without blinking, "but what we want to discuss today is not the authenticity of the report content, but the impact caused by this series of reports."

Li Qing gently tugged at the corner of her mouth and said carelessly, "isn't that a big problem? Many stars get angry by gossip. I think the date of newspaper clippings is within the last two months, which proves that Xue Yuexin's influence is rising rapidly. Isn't it a good thing for us?"

"Of course it's not a good thing." Lin Qiuqiu knocked his index finger on his desk. "Think about it carefully. What good is Xue Yuexin's rising influence for us?"

"She is the spokesperson of Gangbei international, of course..." Li Qing suddenly stopped talking and stared at Lin Qiuqiu opposite and opened her mouth.

After a while, Li Qing took a sip of the air conditioner and nodded solemnly: "yes, Gangbei international is well-known. It doesn't need to rely on Xue Yuexin to improve its popularity."

"That's the problem. We are an enterprise. In addition to popularity, we also need to maintain brand reputation." Lin Qiuqiu said slowly. "Do you think a female singer with scandal is really in line with the image positioning of Gangbei international?"

Seeing that Li Qing fell into silence and paused for a moment, Lin Qiuqiu continued: "when determining the spokesperson, the board of directors agreed that rou'er was the most suitable. However, you should still have an impression?"

"Yes." Li Qing nodded gently, "but at that time, the relationship between rou'er and me was very tense, and the contract was not easy to talk about. Moreover, considering the overall situation, she was deciding to retire at that time, and the board of directors was also skeptical about how long her popularity could last."

"That's why we finally chose the new generation singer Xue Yuexin." Lin Qiuqiu said, "in addition to being optimistic about her career prospects, Xue Yuexin's pure and pleasant positive image at that time also conforms to our positioning. But look, it's only half a year. What's it like?"

Lin Qiuqiu knocked on the table again, frowning slightly, as if she was dissatisfied with Xue Yuexin's current image positioning.

Li Qing spread his hands: "but it can't blame her? Xue Yuexin's bad growth environment in the early years and the lack of tough forces behind it will naturally cause many unscrupulous media to splash dirty water."

Lin Qiuqiu raised a green jade finger and pointed at him across the table: "I remind you again that we are talking about business and don't mix personal feelings."

"All right." Li Qing shrugged and leaned back in his chair with a helpless face, "what do you want to say?"

Lin Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief: "Li Qing, how long haven't you attended the board of directors?"

"Er..." Li Qing raised her hand and scratched her head with some guilt. "It's been a long time."

"Xie Yunkang has always presided over the board of directors in the name of vice chairman in recent times. Since you are so indifferent to the affairs of the group, just resign and be your major shareholder. I have always been dissatisfied with the collective entry of major shareholders into the board of directors and their involvement in the internal affairs of the group. If you do so, you will make way for me to change the management system."

Li Qing said, "Why are you criticizing me again? I've been busy lately. I don't have time to take care of these things. You don't know."

Lin Qiuqiu rolled her eyes: "where do I know where to go..."

"You are my wife. You don't know who knows?"

"Didn't you agree to talk about things without personal feelings?"

Li Qing patted the table: "but you have to pull in this regard. Aren't you talking about personal problems all the time?"

Lin Qiuqiu immediately took a picture of the table without hesitation and stared: "OK, how dare you yell at me? You're not married yet, so you don't take my words seriously!"

As soon as Li Qing shrunk his neck, his tone softened: "old... Wife, don't be angry. Hey, how dare I not listen to you? Do you say, don't you..."

"Don't be angry. You are so beautiful. It's not worth getting angry with me..." Li Qing coaxed for a while. Lin Qiuqiu grinded her silver teeth and snorted softly: "Li Qing, to tell you the truth, at the previous board meeting, most of the directors attending the meeting said that the trend of public opinion towards Xue Yuexin is no longer in line with the image positioning of Hong Kong North International, and it will even damage our brand. The top management of the group has begun to consider terminating the contract with her in advance to avoid further deterioration." "so anxious?" Li Qing couldn't help looking stunned. "We signed the contract with Xue Yuexin for three years, and now it's only half a year. If we terminate the contract now, wouldn't we have to pay her a large termination fee?" "isn't this evidence?" Lin Qiuqiu got up slightly and moved the gray black folder in front of Li Qing to his side, "There is a provision in the contract that Xue Yuexin has the obligation to maintain her positive image during her tenure as the international ambassador of Gangbei, otherwise we have the right to terminate the contract in advance and claim damages." "if I remember correctly, this clause should be Article 28, under the prohibition of cosmetic surgery." Lin Qiuqiu thought about it for a moment and continued, "Even if Xue Yuexin appealed to the court, we have the best legal team and have a great chance to win the lawsuit. In case of losing the lawsuit, it's better to compensate her for the liquidated damages, which is much better than letting the risk come true." Li Qing twitched fiercely in the corners of his eyes. He thought quietly for a moment and nodded: "if it's the resolution of the board of directors, I have no opinion." "Don't worry, the plan is still under consideration and hasn't been officially approved." Lin Qiuqiu suddenly chuckled and said faintly, "and judging from the current situation, this idea should not be implemented." Li Qing was confused: "ah? Why?" "why?" Lin Qiuqiu muttered and gently flipped the newspaper clippings in her hand, "Guess who the powerful man who kept Xue Yuexin mentioned in these reports?" Li Qing shook her head without hesitation: "I don't know." Lin Qiuqiu's voice suddenly softened: "guess." "I guess..." Li Qing opened her mouth and was facing Lin Qiuqiu's four eyes, who had just raised her pretty face. For a moment, she was stunned and couldn't help pumping at the corners of her mouth, "You're not... You're talking about me?" "yes, the person mentioned in the report is you." Lin Qiuqiu said with a smile. "After all, the media removed your name because of your identity. It's just a very vague comment. And in this round of follow-up reports, it didn't involve the scandal between you and Xue Yuexin." "So it is." Li Qing looked suddenly enlightened. Then he remembered the front page of the morning post of Gangbei and suddenly understood everything. Now there is another scandal between Li Qing and Xue Yuexin. If Gangbei international chooses to terminate the contract with Xue Yuexin at this time, it will cast a shadow on the group's external image. Lin Qiuqiu sighed gently: "In this situation, once we terminate the contract with Xue Yuexin, it is equivalent to indirectly confirming the whole process of your two falling in love and leaving, which is bound to turn into an annual emotional drama. Measured again and again, we can only stand still and talk about it in a while." Li Qing held his forehead with his hand and looked annoyed: "Alas, I really didn't expect this kind of trouble. I knew it was time to stop Yang Xi..." "it's too late to say anything now." Lin Qiuqiu closed the folder and moved it aside. "I still have work. You can eat breakfast quickly." "Oh." Li Qing nodded quickly, picked up a steamed stuffed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. "She..." Lin Qiuqiu lowered her head slightly, stared at the ring on her finger and hesitated. "She..." Li Qing quickly drank a mouthful of soybean milk and swallowed the things in her mouth: "yes, yes, it's born." "what's her name?" "Xie Zhiyao." "her name sounds good." Lin Qiuqiu smiled faintly at the corners of her mouth, then raised her finger and pointed to the lounge, "after breakfast, go in and sleep." Li Qing opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. Talking about another woman and child with Lin Qiuqiu, no matter which direction to consider, was enough to make people feel embarrassed. He hurried after breakfast, walked into the lounge, pulled the quilt and lay in bed. Lin Qiuqiu was outside to concentrate on his work. Li Qing felt relieved.
