Wuyou and Wulv at home before taking a shower. After taking a shower, he picked up his phone to log into the short video platform and went to Meisi Group’s live broadcast room as usual.

But surprisingly, there was no live broadcast today. According to the cooperation schedule with Dong Jingjie and others, it is not time to terminate it yet.

She called Dong Jingjie , but she didn’t answer the phone twice. She had a vague feeling that something bad was going to happen.

Then I called another member of the team, and the young man said, “Sister Yan, don’t you know?”

“What do I know?” Xu Yan wondered, “What happened that I don’t know about?”

The young man told her, “Today, Vice President Cheng brought us a termination letter for cooperation and asked us to sign a non-compete agreement. If we don’t sign, we won’t get the settlement fee. This made Miss Dong mad.”

Xu Yan really didn’t expect this matter to become such a hot potato. From the perspective of Meisi Group, Cheng Xu was right to ask them to sign a non-compete agreement, just to prevent them from turning around and joining the arms of their peers.

But, there were no regulations when we first cooperated. Now that the person is leaving and I am doing this, the other party will definitely not agree.

If it is not handled properly, there will be more trouble.

She said helplessly, “Okay, I understand. If you have any news in the future, please tell me as soon as possible.”

“Sister Yan...” the young man hesitated, “You are now the vice president of Meisi Group, can’t you take care of such things?”

Xu Yan smiled bitterly, “It was originally aimed at me, what do you think I can do? Don’t worry, I will think of a way.”

Before she could come up with any countermeasures, Cheng Ji called and said anxiously, “Dong Jingjie ‘s team published an article online to accuse us.”

What was supposed to happen finally came, and Xu Yan was relieved. She asked, “So what are your solutions?”

Cheng Ji hesitated for a moment and said, “You are close to her, so persuade her to delete the post first, and then we can discuss it.”

“Do you think she will buy my story?” Xu Yan asked back.

“You try it first.” Cheng Ji said.

“I didn’t see the live broadcast just now. I called her but she didn’t answer. Mr. Cheng...” Xu Yan stopped him in a serious tone, “You should call the public relations department and Vice President Cheng at this time. This is not within my scope of responsibility.”

“I’m sorry.” Cheng Ji apologized to her, “ I was a little arbitrary in the matter of Dong Jingjie .”

“You don’t have to apologize to me. From the company’s perspective, you did nothing wrong. Things have already happened, so let’s find a way to resolve it,” said Xu Yan.

“Why don’t you communicate with Dong Jingjie and the others?” Cheng Ji was still a little unwilling.

“Mr. Cheng...” Xu Yan sighed, “How can I communicate with you? I said earlier that the live broadcast team needs time to create, and I hope you can give them some time. You said that the shareholders have too many objections. And I promised to give them three months. Now Vice President Cheng is anxious to get rid of the donkey. Even the rabbit will bite when it is anxious.”

Cheng Ji wiped his forehead and said, “We will investigate internally later. Now let’s try to calm the situation down first.”

“In theory, if Dong Jingjie and her team don’t have any new breakthroughs by the deadline and terminate the cooperation with us, it should be easy to persuade her to sign the non-compete agreement. After all, before contracting the business of Meisi Group , her team was unknown. With the achievements she has made in Meisi Group, she will have many partners to cooperate with in the future. Now she refuses to sign, I think it is likely that she has contacted Jiang Han.”

“What a bastard!” Cheng Ji cursed in a low voice.

Meisi Group is really not fair in this matter . Xinlan Group is now at a disadvantage, and will definitely find a way to defeat Meisi Group. By taking advantage of the internal friction between Cheng Xu and me, I think they will be able to reap a wave of dividends.”

“What do you say we should do now?” Cheng Ji asked her.

“I have no choice. Dong Jingjie has the backing of Xinlan Group, so he must fight hard. If I want to quell the impact of public opinion on Meisi Group, I have to pay the money I should pay and cannot sign the non-compete agreement. I will think of other ways later.” Xu Yan said.

“But they will really take away some traffic.” Cheng Ji is still struggling with this.

Xu Yan chuckled, “Then you should discuss this with Vice President Cheng. After all, my opinion is contrary to yours.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone and threw it aside.

She was really speechless. When it came to doing things, he emphasized brotherhood and didn’t know the priorities. Now she was helpless and couldn’t clean up the mess.

After hanging up the phone, she used her mobile phone to surf the Internet and saw that this matter had become a hot topic. Many people were indignant on behalf of Dong Jingjie , “What’s going on? That poor man has only turned over a few days ago, and he has turned into a wicked landlord and bullied the workers?”

“Given his current situation, his business will never last long.”

“They force people to sign unfair terms and withhold their labor fees. We should boycott such unscrupulous companies.”

This comment received a lot of likes, and since then many people have followed suit and said they would boycott Meisi Group’s products, and some people have posted screenshots of their returns.

Xu Yan went to read the content of Dong Jingjie ‘s post. The words between the lines were all about an unknown small film and television company being bullied by a large enterprise and having nowhere to go. The most important meaning was that it was almost the end of the year and the company had to give money to employees to go home for the New Year.

The happiest thing for workers is to receive a considerable sum of money at the end of the year and go home happily. If normal efforts are not rewarded, it is the biggest irony of hard work.

So many people empathize with her, regardless of gender.

Xu Yan called Dong Jingjie again , and this time she answered the phone. Xu Yan asked her, “Why didn’t you tell me about this right away?”

Dong Jingjie said with a guilty conscience, “You said you have your own difficulties.”

“My difficulty is that I can’t keep you. But Cheng Xu is threatening you and not paying you for your labor. I can solve this problem,” said Xu Yan.

Dong Jingjie was a little upset, “Sister Yan, how can you solve this? This was originally a matter of internal friction in your company, but I ended up being implicated. You know, I’m under a lot of pressure. There aren’t many projects that are going well in the company, and capital turnover is a headache for me. I can’t rest easy if it’s delayed for a day. I can do without money, but the people who work with me have to eat!”

“ Has Xinlan Group already offered you very high conditions? So you are a little impatient now.” Xu Yan was not distracted by her emotions and asked the core question directly.

Dong Jingjie was silent.

“Public opinion is a double-edged sword. If you don’t use it properly, you will hurt yourself. You are in the media industry, so you should know this better than me. If you hadn’t already contacted Xinlan Group and Jiang Han had agreed to cover the bottom line, your online strife would have cut off your retreat. Your partners would think you are very immature and would be more thoughtful when cooperating with you.”

“Well, I’ve already sent it, what do you think we should do?” Dong Jingjie had an attitude of throwing the jar away.

“Put this essay away first. Mr. Cheng already knows about it, and I’ve reminded him. If I don’t give you an accurate answer by 8 o’clock tomorrow night, I won’t care about you no matter how you make a fuss.” Xu Yan said calmly.

Dong Jingjie hesitated and said, “Then I will trust you just for once.”

Xu Yan smiled, “Xiao Dong, Cheng Xu is not a good person, he shouldn’t affect the friendship between you and me. The world is round, maybe one day we can work together again, don’t you think?”

Dong Jingjie’s tone became more affirmative this time, “Yes, it has always been a pleasure to work with you.”

After convincing Dong Jingjie , Xu Yan immediately called Cheng Xu and said, “Dong Jingjie has agreed to temporarily hide the article. I promise to give her a definite answer before 8 o’clock tomorrow night.”

Cheng Ji breathed a sigh of relief. “Well, I told you that you would have a solution.”

“Mr. Cheng, you must keep your word and be more generous, so that the company can go further.” Xu Yan reminded him solemnly.

“I know. I will contact her personally tomorrow. Just as you said, we will not sign a non-compete agreement and settle the labor fee according to regulations.” Cheng Ji assured him.

When Dong Jingjie posted the article online, Jiang Han was the first to receive the news. After reading the content, he was so happy that he couldn’t stop smiling.

Cheng Xu is not good at business, but he is quite professional at causing trouble. I just don’t know how angry Cheng Ji and Xu Yan will be when they see this.

His attention was entirely focused on the direction of public opinion.

But after just over half an hour, the article disappeared. He thought he was out of his mind and couldn’t find it after refreshing the page three times.

He thought that maybe it was the Meisi Group who did the PR. So he called Dong Jingjie and asked with great concern: “What’s going on? Did the Meisi Group threaten you?”

Dong Jingjie said, “ Meisi Group did not threaten me. It was Sister Yan who called me and asked me to hide the article first and she would handle the matter.”

Jiang Han pressed on, “How can she solve this problem? If Cheng Xu refuses to pay, can she still pay for it herself? Can she afford it?”

Dong Jingjie said, “She gave me a deadline. If she can’t solve the problem, I will make trouble for her. She is Mr. Cheng’s girlfriend, so her words should carry some weight, right?”

Jiang Han almost choked to death. He was disgusted to hear that they were in love, and said angrily, “If that’s the case, then you just wait. If you really have any difficulties, tell me. There will always be a way out.”

After Cheng Ji got the news that Xu Yan and Dong Jingjie had reached an agreement, he called Cheng Xu and scolded him, “Are you really that anxious? Do you want to show off your authority as the vice president?” Cheng Xu defended himself, “I am also doing this for the good of the company. The live broadcast team is not doing well now, and you want to fire them but it would be embarrassing for Xu Yan, so I will be the bad guy.”

“Don’t hold up the banner of doing good for the company. Do you think I don’t know what you are thinking?” Cheng Ji scolded.

“Then what do you say we should do?” Cheng Xu yelled, “I’m saving money for the company by not letting them go to Xinlan Group. Is it all my fault in the end?”

Cheng Ji didn’t want to care about his emotions now. “For the good of the company, we should pay more attention to the rules and rhythm when doing things. Tell me, how are you going to clean up this mess?”

Cheng Xu never expected that Dong Jingjie would take advantage of online public opinion to make a fuss, and he had no countermeasures.

Cheng Ji patiently said, “ Don’t you know how Xinlan Group was taken down?”

“Don’t be so quick to scold me. To put it bluntly, Xu Yan and I are just checks and balances for you. When you need me, you say we are brothers, and when you don’t, you throw me away like a rag. I have worked hard in Meisi Group over the years, even if I have no credit, right?” Cheng Ji didn’t want to listen to his complaints. “Now Xu Yan has calmed down temporarily. Dong Jingjie doesn’t need to sign a non-compete agreement, and the labor fee will be settled as usual. This matter will just pass.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.
