Volume 5: Twenty Undoubted Chapter 336 Yuan Xudong and Liang Shuang: A Rich Man and a Beautiful Woman
Leaving the skin care store, Liang Shuang looked at his former colleagues and project leader and said with a smile:
"Okay, take your time shopping. I have something else to do so I'll go back first."
"No, it's a rare occasion for us to meet, let's go shopping together."
"Yeah, it's almost time for dinner, let's have dinner together later."
"No, I really have something to do. I just accepted an advertisement for skin care products and I have to go back and prepare for it!"
As he spoke, Liang Shuang raised the Shirley cream in his hand, looked at his former colleagues and project leader and smiled:
"Then, this is the Shirley cream. It's very popular recently and has received good reviews online. Zhang Bingbing and Li Tiantian are both promoting it. You can buy two boxes to try. It has a pretty good whitening effect."
"Really?"
Hearing Liang Shuang say that the whitening effect of this Shirley cream is quite good, the female colleague covered her face and smiled:
"If I use it, can my skin become as fair, smooth and beautiful as yours?"
"Of course not!"
Liang Shuang rolled his eyes at his former colleague and said with a smile:
"I am naturally beautiful, so I don't need any skin care products. If you use this Shirley cream, you can be half as beautiful as me."
"Hate!"
After rolling her eyes at Liang Shuang, the female colleague said with envy:
"I envy you so much. You are so beautiful and have such a good temperament. I am like a chicken in front of a phoenix in front of you. I feel so embarrassed."
"What's so embarrassing about this?"
Looking at his former colleague, Liang Shuang comforted her as a matter of course:
"You're actually pretty good looking. Although not as pretty as me, you're still much better looking than most people. You just need to dress up a little bit."
"Yeah?"
Although she felt that what Liang Shuang said made sense, the female colleague couldn't help but laugh:
"Liang Shuang, you are really good at comforting people. If I didn't know you well, I would have thought you were mocking me."
"No, I'm just telling the truth."
After checking the time, it was almost noon. Liang Shuang looked at his former colleagues and project leader and said:
"Okay, it's almost noon, and I have an appointment with someone else, so I'm going to go home first. Bye!"
"Okay, bye!"
…
After leaving the mall, I drove the Ferrari sports car back to school and ordered a takeout online to fill my stomach.
After dinner, Liang Shuang was looking at the boxes of Shirley cream she had bought. She was hesitating whether to try them out herself when her cell phone rang. She picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID showed it was Duan Jiabao.
After pressing the green answer button, Liang Shuang smiled and said:
"what?"
Hearing Liang Shuang's voice, Duan Jiabao immediately said anxiously:
"Liang Shuang, you were right about the Shirley cream. It's very likely a three-no product. Some people's faces got rotten after using it!"
"Where did you see it?"
"On Weibo, a beauty blogger posted this, and her face turned red. Luckily, I didn't send out the contract. Otherwise, should we just push back on this ad?"
"Forget it, forget it. Just give the contract back to me and I'll handle the follow-up myself. That's it. I'm hanging up now. Bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Liang Shuang opened Weibo on his mobile phone and searched for negative news about Shirley Cream and the official explanation. The beauty blogger said that it was because of the product quality problems of Shirley Cream. The official said that the problem was caused by the beauty blogger's indiscriminate use of other skin care products, not that their own Shirley Cream had safety hazards.
The two sides got into a quarrel, and the comment section below was filled with onlookers. Fortunately, apart from the beauty blogger, no other customer who used the Shirley cream jumped out to say that there was a problem with their face.
It is precisely because of this that most people, including Liang Shuang, believed the official explanation that the problem was caused by the beauty blogger's misuse of other skin care products, rather than that the Shirley cream posed a safety hazard.
Seeing this, Liang Shuang stood up from the chair with two bottles of Shirley cream, walked out of the dormitory, went to the next dormitory and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Liang Shuang!"
"Liang Shuang?"
The dormitory door opened, and Liang Shuang was seen standing outside. A girl who was much fatter than Duan Jiabao smiled and said:
"Goddess Liang, what can I do for you?"
"Oh, that's it!"
Looking at Da Bing who was much fatter than Duan Jiabao, if Duan Jiabao could barely be said to be plump and cute, then Da Bing was really fat and bloated. If it wasn't necessary, Liang Shuang wouldn't get in touch with such an ugly girl. Thinking this in his heart, Liang Shuang forced a smile and said:
"I just got an ad for a skincare product. It's the Shirley cream that's been very popular recently. It's a celebrity product jointly recommended by Zhang Bingbing and Li Tiantian. I have two boxes of samples. I don't usually use cream, so do you want some?"
“Yes!”
Hearing that Liang Shuang was going to send face cream to his dormitory, Da Bing, who liked to take advantage of small bargains, quickly took the face cream and said with a smile:
"Thank you, Goddess Liang!"
"fine!"
Seeing that Da Bing accepted the Shirley Cream as he had expected, Liang Shuang prepared to leave and said:
"Big Pancake, I'm going to go back first. Remember to tell me how effective it is after you use it. I still have two bottles. If they work well, I'll give them to you!"
"Okay, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After taking care of the experimental subjects, Liang Shuang smiled proudly. She only needed to wait two more days. If Dabing and the others had no problems using the product, she could take over the advertising order. She returned to the dormitory and stayed there for a while. Seeing that nothing happened, Liang Shuang wanted to stay at OCT for two days and come back after the experiment was over. She sent a WeChat message to Yuan Xudong and then set off for the OCT community.
At the same time, at Pulin Capital, after the last impersonation incident, Zhou Xun finally persuaded Mr. Lei to cooperate with Pulin again and gave up some of his rights and interests for this. During this period, he paid close attention to the performance of Jiang Xiaoguo, Yang Xiaorong, and Judy.
Now that the problem has been solved, it is time to investigate the relevant responsibilities. The first person to be held accountable is Yang Xiaorong, the main person in charge of the Mosaic project and the investment director of Pulin Capital. Zhou Xun called Yang Xiaorong into the office. Considering that she has served the company for many years, Zhou Xun said tactfully:
"Xiao Rong, the company hopes that you can put aside your current work and take a rest during your maternity leave."
Looking up at Zhou Xun's expressionless face, Yang Xiaorong pretended not to understand, even though he knew what he wanted to say.
"Mr. Zhou, I am in good health now and do not need to take maternity leave."
Seeing that Yang Xiaorong still wanted to fool him, Zhou Xun said bluntly:
"Xiao Rong, the company hopes you can rest early!"
Glancing at the impolite Zhou Xun, Yang Xiaorong forced a smile and said:
"Boss Zhou, do you mean that I have been suspended from the company?"
"Yes!"
"Can I ask why?"
"sure!"
Zhou Xun looked at Yang Xiaorong, who had been working at Pulin Capital since the company was founded, and gave her the greatest patience.
"I gave you the Mosaic project because I hope you can help me get it done. Jiang Xiaoguo did make a mistake, but what about you? I told you not to be smart. If you make a mistake, you should admit it instead of putting all the responsibility on an intern. If it wasn't you who instructed me, Jiang Xiaoguo, how could a small intern dare to pretend to be Pulin's investment director to discuss business?
Also, after the incident, have you contacted Mr. Lei in the past few days? You didn't do anything. You have always been worried about the people below you being too ambitious. But have you ever thought that it's not that the people below you want to take your position, but that you haven't made any progress in your position for too long. We are a startup company. No matter where you are, you are not qualified to be comfortable. We must work hard. These are the reasons I want to tell you. Okay, go back and call Judy in. "
"Okay, Mr. Zhou!"
After taking one last look at Zhou Xun, Yang Xiaorong took off the work badge around his neck and placed it on Zhou Xun's desk. Then he walked out somewhat lost. After a while, Judy came in. She looked at Zhou Xun who was sitting behind the desk and bowed slightly, saying:
"Boss Zhou, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Compared to Yang Xiaorong's politeness and euphemism, Zhou Xun looked at the more shrewd and capable Judy and said directly:
"Judy, it was you who reported Jiang Xiaoguo to Mosaic Company for pretending to be the investment director to discuss business with Mr. Lei, right?"
"No, Mr. Zhou, how could this be me?"
After looking at Zhou Xun, Judy said calmly:
"Did someone pass you a little message?"
"Mr. Lei said he received a report email, saying that the investment director who negotiated with him was actually an intern at Pulin. At that time, Jiang Xiaoguo had just joined the company and was responsible for screening emails. He had never been out in public.
So only people within the company know her true identity. I know you and Yang Xiaorong are in fierce competition, so as long as something goes wrong with their project, you will be the one who benefits the most.
You have done a great job with Daqi, and I promised to promote you to investment director within this year, but you are too impatient. Jiang Xiaoguo and Yang Xiaorong are being too smart. Their original intention was to negotiate the project for the company, but your self-righteousness has damaged the interests of the entire company, just to satisfy your own selfish desires."
"Boss Zhou, I didn't. I did it for the company, I..."
"Okay, you don't have to say any more. I'm informing you now, not asking you whether you have informed Mosaic Company!"
Without waiting for Judy to explain further, Zhou Xun interrupted her and said:
"Pulin doesn't need someone who hinders the development of the project, let alone someone who stirs up internal strife. You can get out now!"
"Mr. Zhou, please listen to my explanation. I just..."
"Thank you for your dedication during this period. You can resign on your own. Goodbye!"
"Okay, bye!"
Seeing that Zhou Xun had made up his mind, there was no point in saying more. Judy was also a person who could let go easily. Since her tricks had been discovered, there was nothing to say. She could only bear the consequences herself. She took one last look at Zhou Xun, bowed slightly, and then turned to leave. Zhou Xun looked at her and said:
"Please call Jiang Xiaoguo in again, thank you!"
"good!"
…
Two days later, in this Mosaic incident, Jiang Xiaoguo escaped the disaster because she repeatedly went to Mr. Lei to apologize and wanted to save the project. She still worked as her intern. As for Yang Xiaorong and Judy, they both resigned on the same day and left Pulin Capital. The difference was that Yang Xiaorong went home for maternity leave, while Judy turned around and went to Lanhe Capital, an angel investment company with a similar size to Pulin Capital.
In the school dormitory, Liang Shuang sent the signed contract to Shirley Cream, and then posted a few photos recommending Shirley Cream on her personal Weibo. Seeing her updated Weibo, Duan Jiabao couldn't help but said angrily:
"Liang Shuang, didn't you promise me not to post on Weibo? Why did you post about a problematic face cream like this?"
"When did I promise you?"
"This cream will rot your face, sis!"
"I read that girl's Weibo. Her face wasn't irritated by the cream. She was allergic to it because she used skin care products indiscriminately. Do you understand?"
"How do you know that the allergy is not caused by the cream? How can others believe you if you say so?"
“I did my research before mailing the contract!”
Seeing that Duan Jiabao didn't believe it, Liang Shuang picked up his phone and called the person in charge of Shirley Cream and said with a smile:
"Hey, Sister Qiao!"
"Why!"
"Oh, did you see the Weibo post I posted?"
"I saw it, it's good!"
"I want to ask you what happened to the girl with a rotten face who was exposed on Weibo a few days ago?"
"We have already clarified the matter. The girl has also come out to apologize. It has nothing to do with our face cream!"
Hearing Sister Qiao say this, Liang Shuang glared at Duan Jiabao, who looked innocent, and then smiled at the phone:
"That's okay!"
"Oh, by the way, I need to give you the balance, and you need an invoice."
"Issue an invoice?"
Hearing that he had to issue an invoice for collecting money, Liang Shuang frowned slightly and said:
"Well, what should I do if I don't have a company?"
"That might not work, how about you think of another way?"
Seeing Liang Shuang in a dilemma, Duan Jiabao couldn't help but mutter a few words and asked Liang Shuang to give her the phone. Taking the phone from Liang Shuang, Duan Jiabao smiled at the phone and said:
"Hello, Sister Qiao!"
"Hey, hello!"
"Um, I'm Liang Shuang's colleague. Please send me the tax number and the full name of your company, and I'll take care of it!"
"Yeah, okay!"
"Thank you Sister Qiao, goodbye Sister Qiao, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After the call ended, Liang Shuang took his phone back, rolled his eyes at Duan Jiabao and said:
"Do you believe it now?"
“Hmm…”
Knowing that he had wrongly accused Liang Shuang, Duan Jiabao stuck out his tongue at her and said jokingly:
"I see. I wronged you. At worst, I can treat you to a good meal. How about that?"
"Let's go!"
"Where are you going?"
"The old place, I'll treat you!"
"Okay, okay!"
She left the dormitory with Duan Jiabao, walked out of the girls' dormitory and came to the parking lot. Liang Shuang drove her to the Laodifang Tea Restaurant near the school in his Ferrari sports car.
Looking at the brand new red Ferrari sports car, Duan Jiabao stroked the window and smiled:
"Liang Shuang, what does your new boyfriend do? Why is he so generous?"
"He is the same as Yuan Xudong, a stock trader. Don't ask me anything else. I don't want to tell you, and I don't want to lie to you!"
"oh!"
After looking at Liang Shuang, Duan Jiabao hesitated for a moment and said:
"I'll just ask you one last question, okay?"
After taking a look at Duan Jiabao, Liang Shuang said:
"Ask!"
"Well, don't be angry when I ask you this. Is your boyfriend very old and is he spending money to support you outside?"
"yes!"
Seeing Duan Jiabao looking at him with sympathy, Liang Shuang rolled his eyes and said:
"He is very old, like my father, but he loves me very much. He also bought me a house and a sports car, and gives me 100,000 yuan in pocket money every month. I am very satisfied now. Are you satisfied with this answer? Is it the same as you think?"
"ah?"
Unexpectedly, Liang Shuang was really kept by a rich man. Duan Jiabao couldn't help but ask with concern:
"Is it worth it for you? Do you like him?"
"I like it, why wouldn't I like it?"
After taking a look at Duan Jiabao, Liang Shuang smiled while driving:
"He likes me because I'm pretty, and I like him because he's rich, makes me happy, and takes care of me. What's wrong with a rich man and a beautiful woman?"
"Did he say..."
"alright!"
Seeing that Duan Jiabao wanted to ask something, Liang Shuang interrupted her directly:
"This is my business, don't worry about it. That was the last question. Let's end this matter here, OK?"
"All right!"
