Chapter 191 – But in the past two years, it had become increasingly difficult for her to understand some of Shen Weiyin’s behavior (2)

“Shen Weiyin’s endorsement contract ends next month. Are you saying that you can’t find someone to replace Shen Weiyin as the spokesperson when I’m giving you over a month of time?”

Director Zhou finally understood the actual meaning of his boss’s words. He felt a cold chill from his earlier brainless words.

There was nothing that couldn’t be done in the workplace. If you couldn’t do it, there would naturally be someone available that could do it. If someone could do something that you couldn’t, then you could only hand over your position.

Lu Beichuan’s meaning was very clear. If he dared to say that he couldn’t find a replacement, then after he stepped out of this office, he would no longer be the PR Director.

In a cold sweat, Director Zhou deliberated his words as he slowly said, “This... I’ll do my best to get this done.”

Ye Zhen, who was sitting on the couch and listening to their conversation, found Director Zhou’s response laughable.

His boss had already issued his order, and yet Director Zhou, a little director, dared to comment and pass judgment. If he wasn’t stupid, then he had to be greedy. For him to become a director, he couldn’t be stupid. Thus, it could only mean he was greedy.

She lazily said, “CEO Lu, since your PR Director can’t get this done within a month, don’t give him a hard time. I’ll take care of it.”

Lu Beichuan doubtfully looked at her. “You?”

Ye Zhen raised an eyebrow and asked, “You don’t believe me?”

Ye Zhen looked as if she was full of confidence and pledging in all seriousness. Lu Beichuan chuckled. “I believe you.”

The sweat on Director Zhou’s back increased. He deeply felt that his position as the director wasn’t secure. He unsteadily said, “Then... Miss Shen wanted to talk to you at 2 PM today. How do you...”

Lu Beichuan rebuked, “You need me to personally meet with a spokesperson that’s getting replaced? What do I pay the PR Department for?”

Director Zhou repeatedly nodded. “Okay, I’ll definitely take care of this.”

After Director Zhou left, the office was peaceful again. Lu Beichuan looked at Ye Zhen, who was idly looking at a magazine and drinking. He doubtfully asked, “Have you already chosen who you want to be the new spokesperson?”

Ye Zhen nodded. “Of course.”

“Tell me, who is it?”

Ye Zhen faintly smiled. She mysteriously said, “I have to keep this a secret, but you don’t have to worry about it. This person’s popularity isn’t any lower than Shen Weiyin’s and I can definitely negotiate a contract with that person within a month.”

“When you say it like that, I’m even more curious.”

“Let’s put down this curious matter for now. Miss Shen is coming here to discuss renewing the contract with you at 2PM. I heard that the Shen’s and Lu’s are family friends. Is it okay if you don’t go to see her?”

Lu Beichuan didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. Looking at his little wife, who was racking her brains to say more about this issue, he chuckled.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“The friendship between the Lu’s and the Shen’s is something in my grandfather’s generation. Later on, there were less interactions, and the relationship between the two families naturally grew more distant. Shen Weiyin and I saw each relatively often before I was seven. But after that, we saw each other less. We were in the same grade in high school, but in different classes. We went to the same college, but we had different majors. We rarely saw each other. The rumors online are pure fabrication. You don’t have to believe in them.”

“So you’re saying that you’re not close with Shen Weiyin?”

“Not close.” Lu Beichuan looked at her with a burning gaze and a faint smile. “Does this bother you a lot?”‘

Ye Zhen dryly laughed to hide her guilty conscience. “We’re husband and wife. Any issue that would be harmful to a harmonious marital relationship has to be resolved. Besides... I was just casually asking.”

“Casually asking?” Lu Beichuan stared at the side of Ye Zhe’s face. Under his staring, Ye Zhen blushed. She felt extremely guilty.

Ye Zhen coughed and changed the topic. “Don’t you think there’s an issue with certain people that have high-level positions in your company? For example, that Director Zhou.”
