half-baked life

Chapter 97 What are you doing with Huang Yao here?
"...Um, I'm sorry, Mr. Mei, I'll interrupt you. As for this new plan, from what I've seen, I feel it's not as good as last week's!"

The moment Li Mingchu started to stop, Mei Huaijun not only didn't feel offended, but felt a little relieved, because this new plan really didn't work.

He led the team to work overtime and brainstorm, but in the end they only managed to get something that should be thrown into the trash can.

"I've been talking about this for a long time, but in the end it's just 'wait'?" Li Mingchu flipped the document to the bottom, and then patted it several times angrily.

"When do we have to wait? If we wait two weeks, let alone Gu Xia and SUM, the day lily will be cold. Can't we take the initiative?"

"In this situation, taking the initiative does not have much chance of winning. Instead, it may further intensify the problem."

Mei Huaijun's words were not an excuse. It was not that they had never "attacked" before, but they were not on the same level as Meiyi Home Furnishings. They were completely pushed to the ground and beaten.

"Then we can't just sit back and wait for death!"

Li Mingchu actually understood, but he was unwilling to give in. He stood up irritably, grabbed the back of the chair and started turning it in circles. Just when Gu Xia was about to remind him, Li Mingchu straightened up suddenly.

"How about this? Before there is a better plan, let's implement the plan last week."

"No!" Gu Xia's refusal was soft, but her tone was extremely firm.

"Just say it doesn't work, right?" Li Mingchu asked with his hands on his hips.

"It doesn't work." Gu Xia moved her eyes from the document to Li Mingchu, with a strong warning, but Li Mingchu just pretended not to see it.

"Why not? Meiyi Home Furnishing can have an 'insider' break the news, why can't we? Compared to them, we are quite reserved. Doesn't it mean that Qi Qingyu loves you so much that she hates you? What's the point!"

"Qi Qingyu is already engaged. How can you be coy about making a relationship with Huang Yao here?"

Gu Xia's expression was calm, but there was a strong sense of ridicule in his words.

As the instigator, Mei Huaijun touched the tip of his nose guiltily. He glanced furtively at Jiang He. Jiang He was still studying the documents and seemed not to be affected at all by the dispute between the two.

"Who created Huang Yao?" Li Mingchu's face was obviously troubled.

"Hey, Gu Xia, do you have a conscience? Who am I doing this for? I can't sleep every day, and I am so anxious that my mouth is full of oral ulcers... Oh, I have become the bastard who spreads pornographic rumors. Right?"

Li Mingchu became more and more angry as he talked, and when he opened his mouth again, he dragged Jiang He into the "battle situation".

"Mr. Jiang, please comment, is there anyone like him? He has been slapped with [-] excrement buckets on his head, and he still has time to worry about hurting innocent people! And spread rumors? Gu Xia, you know what you are doing What has Huang Yao done to him?"

As Li Mingchu spoke, he began to flip through the public opinion analysis report. He turned the pages with such force that he wanted to tear the paper into pieces.

He quickly turned to the page he was looking for, sneered and slapped the document in the middle of the conference table. With his fingers together, he pressed hard on the specially framed and enlarged keywords such as "finding a man" and "bringing a son-in-law". , "Take a good look, this is called creating Huang Yao!"

Jiang He knew what Li Mingchu was talking about, and she also discovered that Meiyi Home Furnishing no longer attacked Gu Xia and SUM from the professional and market dimensions, but started a moral trial in a bad way, using the "creation" method. "Huang Yao" is an inferior but effective method.

A large number of marketing accounts continue to publish revelations from so-called "insiders". The Gu Xia in the scandal is like a time management master with the attribute of octopus. Crane is a completely real-life version of "Julian". He has three illegitimate children, and his main goal is to have "both sons and daughters".

"It's Meiyi Home. They don't talk about martial ethics. We are just forced to defend ourselves passively!" Li Mingchu said confidently.

"If I say no, I can't. I'm not going to discuss it with you again." Gu Xia's anger was obviously rising, but she still tried to control herself. "Ha! Of course, you are the boss, you have the final say." Li Mingchu replied angrily, then slumped back on the chair, leaned back on the chair, looked at the ceiling, and said nothing.

Mei Huaijun obviously didn't expect that Gu Xia and Li Mingchu would really quarrel, and the fight would end so quickly. He stood in front of the screen at a loss, not knowing whether to continue explaining or simply get out.

"You two...have finished chatting? Can I say a few words? Mr. Mei doesn't mind, right?"

"Of course, Mr. Jiang, please." Mei Huaijun handed Jiang He the laser page-turning pen that was like a hot potato. Not only did he not mind, he was simply grateful.

"I can understand Mr. Li's anxiety. Internet celebrities are updated very quickly. Everyone knows what it means to disappear from the Internet for a month. This should also be what Meiyi Home Furnishing ultimately wants to see, so that 'Boss Gu's summer' 'This IP has been completely forgotten and lost its value."

Li Mingchu was obviously a little proud of Jiang He's approval. He gave Gu Xia a "listen carefully" look, and then sat up straight.

Jiang He flipped the projected PPT forward a few pages and pointed to the downward parabola that represented Gu Xia's positive public opinion, "If you look at this line alone, Meiyi Home Furnishing has almost succeeded, but if you add this one... …”

Jiang He smiled and pointed at the seemingly endless negative public opinion curve, "This should be a level of popularity that Boss Gu has never had before. I'm afraid tens of millions may not be able to make such a noise!"

"Although it is said that 'black and red are also red', if people are scolded like this, who is willing to spend money?" Li Mingchu sighed sadly.

"A person can't be black all the time, nor can he be popular all the time. If Meiyi Home Furnishing pursues you like this, something will go wrong one day, and the viewers will get tired of it one day."

"Then what if nothing goes wrong?" Gu Xia calmed down and asked.

"Actually, they are already making mistakes. Trying to judge a person morally will indeed cause heated discussions in a short period of time, but it will also turn everything into a mess. Now about the plagiarism of your company's interns I guess... not many people remember it anymore, right Mr. Mei?"

"That's right, 'plagiarism' is no longer a popular word related to 'Gu Xia' and 'SUM'." Mei Huaijun also noticed this.

"So, there is good news."

Jiang He smiled reassuringly at Gu Xia. Before Gu Xia could react, he had already smiled at Jiang He. Mei Huaijun noticed it, and instantly felt a hint of panic at the sight of something secret, and quickly looked away. opened.

"Speaking of which, I have been searching for Meiyi Home Furnishing on the Internet in the past few days, and I accidentally found an old post. The post was very long. The content was probably about the revelation that Meiyi Home Furnishing has been using competitions to plagiarize student designs for a long time, and the award judging criteria are unclear and suspected of being illegal. Favoritism and fraud. I believe this is definitely 'no smoke without fire'. As a former contestant, Boss Gu must have heard about it."

"...How did you know?" Gu Xia couldn't hide his surprise and looked at Jiang He. He was sure that he had never mentioned this to Jiang He.

"I found all the winners and their works from the last five competitions on the official website of Meiyi Home Furnishing. Modular sofa, right? It's very exquisite and creative, but the third prize is too ridiculous."

Jiang He's words were not subjective judgments. She specifically asked a friend who had served as a judge in a home design competition abroad for advice. After seeing Gu Xia's design and the first prize work of that session, he bluntly said that winning the first prize The person is definitely a related household, "I guarantee it with my reputation."

"I have also seen the post you mentioned, Mr. Jiang, but Meiyi Home has already clarified it, and the poster also accepts the explanation given by Meiyi Home."

Mei Huaijun's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Li Mingchu's head. He was already high-spirited, but after hearing this, he immediately collapsed in anger.

"As long as a company or a brand involves creativity, it will never be able to withstand the scrutiny and criticism of 'plagiarism'. As long as we continue to investigate, there will definitely be loopholes and it cannot be monolithic."

Jiang He has seen countless companies that advocate original design capsize in the ditch of "plagiarism".

"Meiyi Home Furnishing will definitely find a flaw and catch us. At that time, every attack he made on SUM and Gu Xia will turn into a boomerang and hit back at him. He will definitely be overwhelmed. Then If Gu Xia wants to wash away the black stuff on her body again, it can't be easier, right?"
