《IPWTVC[COMPLETED]》🌸 Chapter 189 - 190 🌸

After the little fellow finished drinking milk, he lied in his dad's arms, comfortably yawned, and smacked his lips.
Seeing Zhouzhou's bleary look that meant he was sleepy again, Lu Beichuan coaxed him to sleep.
Under his dad's rocking, Zhouzhou fell asleep in his dad's arms.
Lu Beichuan looked at his son's cute appearance. His nose was filled with the scent of milk. He couldn't resist lowering his head and gently kissing his son's chubby cheek.
After that, he placed Zhouzhou down on the bed in the resting room and informed his assistant to send the PR Director to his office. Ye Zhen wanted to go to the side room to rest too, but Lu Beichuan stopped her and had her sit on the sofa to listen.
The PR Director had waited outside for over half an hour. Fortunately, this extra time had given him time to collect a lot of information.
The results of his search for information had scared him into a cold sweat.
Major publications wouldn't dare to publish nonsense about Lu Beichuan and Shen Weiyin. However, small tabloids had covertly published hearsay as well as plots that were fabricated out of thin air. Discussions about this had spread like wildfire on forums.
It was obvious that people had planned this. Because they knew it was fake, they didn't dare to openly publicize it. Instead, they secretly disseminated information through small channels.
The spreading of these rumors on small channels was equally fatal.
The PR Department Director felt that it was going to be the end of the line for him once he entered Lu Beichuan's office.
He walked into Lu Beichuan's office with a heavy heart. He glanced sideways and saw a woman sitting on the sofa. She was lazily leaning back, and her fair-skinned swan-like neck caught his imagination.
"Director Zhou!"
Director Zhou returned to his senses and met Lu Beichuan's unhappy gaze. He immediately realized who this woman was.
Before entering the office, he had heard the assistant talking about Mrs. Lu. News that Mrs. Lu had come here to bring CEO Lu lunch had spread throughout the company. Presumably, the woman sitting on the couch was Mrs. Lu.

Lu Beichuan looked unhappy as he looked through information that Director Zhou had submitted. His expression looked increasingly grave.
"What has the PR Department been doing lately?"
Director Zhou felt a chill through his heart as he thought of the funding for the activities that the PR Department had organized including traveling abroad in the second half of the year.
"I'm sorry. CEO Lu. We were negligent in this matter. I'll definitely..."
Lu Beichuan tossed the documents down on the table. The thud of the papers shut Director Zhou's mouth.
"Director Zhou, if you're not competent enough to be a director, you can raise that issue with me. I'm sure there will be other people in the department that will be up to the task!"
Director Zhou understood that this was his responsibility.
"Listen. First, I don't want to see any gossip about me on any website. Second..."
"Can you lower your voice? Zhouzhou is sleeping." Ye Zhen turned her head and reminded Lu Beichuan.
Lu Beichuan was used to giving orders. He had temporarily been too shocked by the sheer quantity of the gossip as well as the content that Director Zhou had reported. Overflowing with fury, he hadn't restrained his emotions or voice. Now that Ye Zhen had reminded him, he lowered his voice.
"Second, immediately cancel the cooperation between Shen Weiyin and the company."
Director Zhou was astonished. "Cancel?"
"Do you need me to repeat something twice?"
Director Zhou smiled. "No no no. The contract between the company and Miss Shen will expire at the end of the month. Miss Shen had made an appointment to discuss renewing the contract at 2PM. She said..." He glanced at Ye Zhen. "She said she would come here herself and wants to discuss it directly with you."
Director Zhou felt as if his luck couldn't get any worse today. Damn it!
The PR Department's environment has always been tranquil. As the director of the PR Department, his job had been leisurely. Before he had been called to the CEO's office, he had been looking forward to the organized activities as well as the company retreat that would take place in the second half of the year. However, based on what he saw of the current situation, his following days wouldn't be good. If he didn’t fix things, there was no chance of him enjoying those activities.

The PR Department only dealt with negative news that might be harmful to Lu Corporation, so Director Zhou hadn't taken that small-scale hearsay evidence seriously. He boasted that a large corporation didn't need to fuss with gutter trash. How could Director Zhou have anticipated that this position, which he had worked so hard to get, would be at risk because of those insignificant tabloids.
It's true that a single small act wouldn't have any major effect by itself. However, that single event had rippled effects. It was like how a small leak could sink a great ship if nothing was done about it. Director Zhou didn’t consider the damage done to Lu Beichuan's public image over time.
Director Zhou was an industry insider. He could see through the sequence of movements done by online marketing. All of the gossip was connected to Shen Weiyin. She was definitely involved in those rumors somehow. She might have even been the one that started them.
There were a few people in the entertainment industry that looked innocent, but none of them were simple.
However, everyone knew that Shen Weiyin was a member of the Shen's. No one would dare to go against a member of the Shen's. It would only bring bad luck down on their heads.
What's more, Shen Weiyin was now a popular actress. So to put it bluntly, Lu Corporation was the one that was profiting from having Shen Weiyin endorsing a perfume brand by one of their affiliates.
Thus, Director Zhou never thought there was anything wrong with continuing the endorsement deal.
But now, it seemed that CEO Lu was going to disregard the long-time friendship between the Lu's and the Shen's and cancel the contract with Shen Weiyin?
Director Zhou was deeply annoyed with himself for not putting an end to the gossip earlier. Coveting small gains had caused today's situation.
"CEO Lu, I think you should reconsider this matter?"
"Reconsider?"
Director Zhou summoned up the courage to say, "From my professional point of view, with Miss Shen's current reputation and status, it's beneficial for us if she continues to endorse our product. We've also added up the sales of the product in recent years. During the years that Miss Shen has been endorsing the product, the sales and reputation of the affilite's company's perfume brand has been greatly improved. The most optimal option is for Miss Shen to continue endorsing this product. We can't find someone that's a better candidate than Miss Shen."
Lu Beichuan only coldly looked at his "capable subordinate" Director Zhou. He didn't say anything.
Director Zhou wasn't good at guessing other people's opinions based on their expressions. Seeing that Lu Beichuan didn't say anything, he misunderstood and thought that his boss agreed with his point.
Immensely pleased with himself, Director Zhou continued, "CEO Lu, how about you go chat with Miss Shen when she comes to the company at 2PM?" He pushed up his glasses. "If the contract is canceled, the product will suffer in sales and reputation, so there's no benefit in doing that. I hope that you can carefully consider this matter."
"Are you telling me that you can't find a single person in the entertainment industry to replace Shen Weiyin in endorsing this product?"
Director Zhou nodded. "We'll be releasing new products soon, and it'll take time to find a new spokesman and negotiate and sign a contract with that person. It really would be difficult to replace Miss Shen."
Lu Beichuan put down the pen and threateningly looked at Director Zhou with narrowed eyes. As someone that did his work swiftly, he naturally didn't like subordinates that were sloppy and sluggish with their work.
