The next day, Xu Meng got up early, took the copied manuscript and relevant certificates, filled out the registration form, and then sat down at the landline to make a phone call.
I was lucky today; after hanging up, I waited twenty minutes before getting a callback.
Without much small talk, she briefly told her aunt the whole story. After they finished, there was a brief silence. Xu Meng was prepared to be rejected—after all, Ruihui was a long-established company that had a presence throughout the mainland. Without some strength and confidence, going against such a company, even if they suffered a setback in the short term, might lead to retaliation later.
"Okay, now read your dad's draft aloud, and I'll take notes."
Xu Jianlan didn't say anything just now, not because she was considering it. She had already agreed when her niece asked for help, but she didn't give an answer immediately because she was getting paper and a pen.
"Auntie, you agreed so easily? Aren't you afraid?"
After expressing her concerns, Xu Meng felt much better.
"Silly girl, just read it to me. There are no cowards in the Xu family. Besides, you said yourself how good this boss is to you, helping you is helping me. It's just a press release. If they're really scared and think like you're worried, that would be the most irrational choice."
Neither of them were ambiguous people. After quickly explaining some matters, Xu Meng hung up the phone.
Back at the company, she handed the press release to her boss and mentioned that her aunt would help.
"Did your aunt really say that?"
"Boss, I'm not some selfless philanthropist who doesn't consider the safety of my family. I told my aunt about my concerns, and she agreed immediately. Besides, her job is very stable. Generally speaking, a wise company wouldn't choose to go against someone who controls public opinion."
"In that case, I'll trouble you this time. I'll treat your family to a meal sometime."
"Alright, boss, I won't stand on ceremony. I'm going to get back to work now."
After Xu Meng left, Yu Lian looked at the neatly written and powerfully styled press release in her hand, secretly admiring herself for getting two free – she had excellent taste. Even spending money wouldn't necessarily get you such a professional.
Since we devised a plan yesterday, everything has been going smoothly, and we even received unexpected external assistance.
Lost in thought, the phone rang.
Yu Lian answered the phone, and the other party immediately introduced themselves.
"Ms. Yu, I'm the police officer in our area. Do you remember when we met last time?"
Yu Lian recognized the voice: "I remember. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Hey, didn't we arrest a few people last time? That guy had a foreign identity, and his country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already spoken to the higher-ups, so he's been taken away. I just wanted to let you know that things are very tight right now, so if you don't have anything else to do, don't pursue this matter any further. But his other brother is in trouble; nobody's helping him out, and he's been crying in the detention center all day..."
"What did you say?" Yu Lian mumbled unconsciously.
"It's alright, thank you for your help. I'll go over tomorrow to find out the details."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Lian breathed a sigh of relief. Then she walked to the door and watched the trucks coming and going. In a daze, she saw her father's back.
Yu Lian was surprised and quickly chased after him. Upon closer inspection, it really was him.
"Dad, what are you doing here?"
Yu Jinbu turned around: "Oh, I just happened to be passing by and stopped by the factory to take a look."
"Dad, just say what you want to say."
"Here, take this. I thought it was mine and took it apart. Are you planning to completely shift your focus now?"
Yu Lian knew who sent the letter without even looking. Her plan was to check it as soon as she got home, but because of yesterday's events…
"It's not about shifting our focus, but rather creating a new one. We are fully capable of taking a bite out of the huge domestic market, and given my changes in future plans, we've slightly adjusted our direction during this period."
Yu Jinbu nodded, looking at his daughter with great satisfaction.
"I'm not questioning you. I'm saying that if you want a major change, a complete overhaul, then don't name the company after me anymore. Think carefully about how you're going to give your other child a proper name."
Patting his daughter on the shoulder, Yu Jinbu walked away with his hands behind his back. Yu Lian stood there, stunned, and didn't chase after him, because she knew her father.
"What name should I choose...?" She quickly accepted the idea.
Upon learning that the company was going to change its name before its opening, Xu Meng's mind was filled with images of scheming and intrigue. Yu Lian, engrossed in thinking about the name, only noticed a meaningful expression on Xu Meng's face when she snapped out of her reverie.
"Don't overthink it. I'll handle this myself. You keep an eye on the press release. Go back to the office later and coordinate with Xiao Xu on the domestic and Hong Kong parts. My husband will take care of the international parts, and with your aunt's help, that should be about it."
"Boss, are you only doing public opinion monitoring and nothing else?"
"What else can we do? They're out there, and we can't reach them from afar."
Xu Meng tentatively asked, "Isn't your husband here too?"
Yu Lian looked up and then smiled. Xu Meng had only been with the company for a few months, and they had only recently started working together, so it was normal that she didn't know Xu Meng well.
"Xu Meng, you need to understand one thing—I don't rely on anyone for things I believe I can handle. The company is mine, not my husband's, and in my opinion, it has nothing to do with him. So when problems arise, I rely on my own methods to solve them first. I can handle most of these problems, and asking him to help contact foreign media is also a form of assistance. You're not thinking he'll crush people with a single move, are you? If you're disappointed, we are both... no, I'm a patriotic and law-abiding citizen, and as my husband, he should follow suit."
Xu Meng wasn't intimidated by her boss's sudden serious attitude. Instead, she said earnestly, "So what Xiao Xu said was true! Boss, I admire you so much. From today onwards, you are the person I admire most."
The reason she was so agitated was because of her former boss—who would always try various methods to ask for help and pull strings whenever he encountered a problem, but most of the time he, as the boss, couldn't bring himself to do it and would always send his subordinates. She went the most, and once she was even pushed down the stairs, fracturing her hand. Even after it was immobilized and treated, she still insisted on working overtime.
"Boss, you're amazing!"
Yu Lian thought that after she emphasized it seriously, Xu Meng would be frightened by her, but the scene in front of her was completely different from what she expected.
"Haha... Alright, get back to work."
Xu Meng's adoring gaze was so sudden that she felt a little overwhelmed, so she quickly sent her off to work.
After everyone left, Yu Lian finished her work and called He Lin to check on the progress. The matter would be resolved soon. Yu Lian's relaxed demeanor was for show; in reality, thousands of miles away, everything was already prepared.
