Wang Zhisheng, as the editor-in-chief of Jiangzhou Daily, held a significant position, yet he was exceptionally respectful in Lin Jingzhi’s presence.
Lin Jingzhi shook hands with Wang Zhisheng, smiling, Editor Wang, it’s an honour to have you here. Welcome.
Wang Zhisheng looked flattered, It’s my privilege to serve you, President Lin.
Lin Jingzhi smiled faintly, Editor Wang, shall I take you to the media section?
No, no, Wang Zhisheng quickly waved his hand. President Lin, I know you’re busy today, don’t mind me. I’ll find a seat myself.
Also, I’ve already reported to the newspaper’s senior management. Tomorrow, I’ll publish a feature on Oriental Medicine Group’s opening ceremony, written by me, on the front page of Jiangzhou Daily.
Please offer your feedback then, President Lin.
With that, Wang Zhisheng led his team to find seats.
Seeing this, Xu Minghui felt a twinge of irritation.
He hadn’t expected Lin Jingzhi to actually secure media attendance.
However, he didn’t dwell on it, as in his view, Jiangzhou Daily was just a minor publication.
Xu Minghui couldn’t resist a mocking jab.
President Lin, don’t tell me you’ve only invited outlets like Jiangzhou Daily?
That’s rather low-tier, isn’t it?
For a billionaire like you, a new company opening should involve national-level media. Jiangzhou Daily, despite being an official outlet, has no influence.
President Lin, if you can’t get national media, I can help…
Before Xu Minghui could finish, Lin Jingzhi cut in, No need.
Mr Xu, if you’re here to congratulate, you’re welcome.
If you’re here to make snide remarks, you’re not.
Xu Minghui said, You misunderstand, President Lin, I’m only trying to help. Since you don’t appreciate it, I’ll say no more.
I’m just looking out for you.
After all, a company opening is a big deal. Without a few national media outlets reporting…
Before he could finish, a motorcade approached.
At least a dozen vehicles.
Each bore prominent logos: Sina, Sohu, Phoenix Media, First Finance…
In an instant, more than a dozen national-level media outlets appeared.
Lin Jingzhi smiled, Mr Xu, didn’t you say there were no national media? Haven’t they just arrived?
Xu Minghui was dumbfounded.
Moments later, the motorcade stopped, and journalists from major media outlets, accompanied by photographers with cameras, stepped out.
Xiao Jie, come with me to greet our media friends, Lin Jingzhi said, leading Sun Mengjie forward.
Xu Minghui’s face darkened, and he whispered to his bodyguard, What’s going on? Didn’t you say everything was sorted yesterday?
The bodyguard replied, Young Master, yesterday the Lin Group invited media related to the pharmaceutical industry. I contacted them all, and they confirmed they wouldn’t come today. As for these media, I suspect the Lin Group brought them in at the last minute.
Hmph.
Xu Minghui snorted coldly, Seems I underestimated Lin Jingzhi. She’s got some tricks up her sleeve.
The bodyguard reassured, Young Master, no need to worry. It’s just a few national media, no big deal.
Besides, while the media showed up, there’s still not a single guest.
When this gets out, Lin Jingzhi will still be a laughingstock in the industry.
A moment later, Lin Jingzhi finished greeting the media and returned to her original spot.
Xu Minghui said sardonically, President Lin, impressive, inviting so many national media.
Since you’re so capable, why not get CCTV here too?
Though CCTV isn’t easy to invite. Last year, for our Xu Group’s anniversary, our PR department tried everything and failed. It was only after my father personally intervened and pulled strings with a big shot that CCTV sent a junior reporter.
Ye Qiu scoffed, Is CCTV that hard to get?
Xu Minghui sneered, If you think it’s easy, go ahead and try.
No need to try, they’re already here, Ye Qiu said, pointing.
Xu Minghui followed Ye Qiu’s gesture and saw three vans approaching slowly.
Each van’s window bore two large characters: CCTV.
How is this possible?
Xu Minghui couldn’t believe it.
CCTV is based in Beijing. How could they come all the way to Jiangzhou for Lin Jingzhi’s company opening?
Absolutely impossible.
Xu Minghui froze, then laughed, President Lin, is this CCTV a fake? Where did you find them?
Idiot, Ye Qiu cursed.
Xu Minghui’s eyes widened, Who’re you calling an idiot?
Bang.
Just then, the door of the first van opened, and a graceful, beautiful woman stepped out.
Xu Minghui instantly recognised her, it was CCTV’s star anchor, Dong Si.
In that moment, Xu Minghui felt like he’d been slapped.
Called you an idiot, and you still don’t get it? Convinced now? Ye Qiu taunted.
Xu Minghui’s face turned grim.
After stepping out, Dong Si quickly approached Ye Qiu and said, Dr Ye, after getting your WeChat last night, I immediately led my team from Beijing, driving overnight to Jiangzhou.
Dr Ye, I’m not late, am I?
Ye Qiu smiled, Not at all, Miss Dong. I owe you one for coming all this way.
Let me introduce you.
This is my girlfriend, also the chairman of the soon-to-open Oriental Medicine Group, Lin Jingzhi.
Dong Si promptly shook hands with Lin Jingzhi, smiling, I’ve always wondered what kind of woman would match an outstanding man like Dr Ye.
Seeing you today, President Lin, I understand what they mean by a perfect match.
Congratulations, President Lin.
Thank you, Lin Jingzhi replied with a smile.
Oh, who’s this? Dong Si suddenly noticed Qin Wan, a flash of admiration in her eyes, and asked.
Ye Qiu said, Let me introduce, this is Qin Wan, my girlfriend.
What?
Dong Si was momentarily stunned, then laughed, Dr Ye, you’re truly blessed.
Ye Qiu grinned, I think so too.
Nearby, Xu Minghui’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. When he arrived, he’d noticed Qin Wan and was struck by her beauty, figure, and mature charm.
He’d assumed Qin Wan was Lin Jingzhi’s friend, not another of Ye Qiu’s women.
Envy, jealousy, and hatred surged within him.
Damn it, two stunning women, how does he deserve them?
But Xu Minghui didn’t know, the real slap in the face was just beginning…
