Chapter 61: The Cooperation Ends Here
The waiter respectfully stepped forward quickly, opened the door to the private room for Madam Tan, and bowed slightly, displaying extreme humility.
Madam Tan gave a slight bow in thanks; the gesture was small, yet it exuded nobility.
Upon seeing this, General Manager Liu quickly stood up, forcing a fawning smile on his face.
She quickly pulled out a stool and said, "Madam, you've arrived. Please have a seat."
Madam Tan nodded slightly and walked into the private room without looking to the side.
Mr. Liu tried his best to calm himself down, and his face was full of smiles.
He tentatively asked Madam Tan, "Madam, your visit today is truly an honor for my humble shop. It's almost lunchtime, why don't we eat and chat?"
I know a really good restaurant where the seafood is all air-freighted from overseas, it's very fresh.
As he spoke, he secretly observed Madam Tan's expression.
Madam Tan remained unmoved, her expression unchanged, and said directly, "Mr. Liu, let's not waste any more time. I'm here for Su Yingxue's matter, you should know that."
Mr. Liu was startled, a hint of panic flashing across his face, but he still tried to argue: "Madam, I really don't know much about Su Yingxue's matter."
The company has been incredibly busy lately, with all sorts of projects piling up, and I'm completely overwhelmed.
As you know, our industry is highly competitive, and we have endless tasks to handle every day.
As he spoke, he wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, his eyes darting around, not daring to look directly at Madam Tan.
Madam Tan sneered, her sharp eyes fixed on President Liu: "President Liu, don't try to play tricks on me. Do you think I don't know what you're up to?"
You want to hold onto the advertising contract with the Tan Group but don't want to do things our way? There's no such thing as a free lunch.
"If you don't handle Su Yingxue's matter properly, don't even think about having any further cooperation with the Tan family."
Tan Zhengchu stepped forward, staring sharply at President Liu: "President Liu, I hope you understand that Su Yingxue is my wife. Any harm done to her is a harm done to the Tan family."
If you remain obstinate, the consequences will be unbearable for you.” His voice was deep yet extremely authoritative.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu's face turned deathly pale, and the veins on his forehead throbbed slightly.
He knew full well what the Tan Group's advertising business meant to him.
That was a vital source of revenue for the company; losing the Tan family would be a devastating blow.
His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to begin.
Mr. Liu's eyes flickered a few times, then he said with a forced smile, "Madam, I have heard about Su Yingxue's matter."
But I really don't understand the rights and wrongs of this matter.
As you know, we in the advertising industry deal with all kinds of information every day.
But the news was like a flood, making it hard to distinguish truth from falsehood.
A hint of disdain flashed in Tan Zhengchu's eyes, and he snorted lightly: "President Liu, do you think I'm a fool? You've been in this industry for so many years, how could you not distinguish between the real and the fake?"
Don't think I don't know you're connected with those people who do dirty tricks behind my back.
If you don't want to lose the Tan Group as a major client, stop trying to fool me.
Mr. Liu was sweating even more. He wiped his sweat and his voice trembled slightly: "Madam, I really have no contact with them."
The company has been busy with several big projects lately, and we don't have enough manpower, so I've been personally involved.
Even if I wanted to get involved in Su Yingxue's matter, I'd need the energy.
Madam Tan's face darkened: "Mr. Liu, are you saying that the affairs of the Tan Group are not as important as your small projects?"
Don't forget how much profit the Tan family has brought you over the years, allowing you to establish yourself in this industry.
If you don't handle Su Yingxue's matter properly, don't expect to get a single penny of business from the Tan family in the future.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu's face turned pale. He quickly waved his hand, "Madam, that's not what I meant. I... I was just stating my difficulties."
You said you need to deal with Su Yingxue's matter, but that requires detailed information. I can't just hold a press conference casually; if something goes wrong, it won't be good for the Tan family or our company.”
Madam Tan frowned slightly and said in a more serious tone, "Mr. Liu, you don't need to worry about the information. I will give it to you naturally."
"You just need to do what you're supposed to do: prepare for the press conference, clarify all the rumors that slander Su Yingxue, present the evidence, and let the public know the truth. That shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
Despite his resentment, Mr. Liu gritted his teeth and said, "Madam, I will do my best. But preparing for a press conference in such a short time is very risky. If anything goes wrong, our company's reputation will be damaged."
A cold glint flashed in Madam Tan's eyes: "Mr. Liu, this is a question you need to consider. I only care about the results. If the press conference is not handled well, the cooperation between Tan's Group and you ends here."
Moreover, at that time
I will let the entire industry know what kind of person you are.
Mr. Liu's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Madam Tan meant what she said. He lowered his head helplessly and said, "Madam, I understand. I will make the arrangements as soon as possible."
Madam Tan glanced at him and said slowly, "I hope you keep your word and don't cause trouble for yourself."
After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Mr. Liu quickly stood up, forcing a smile: "Madam, rest assured, I will certainly live up to your expectations."
Mr. Liu gritted his teeth, his heart filled with resentment towards Su Yingxue, feeling that she had brought him so much trouble.
But faced with Madam Tan's domineering nature, he had no choice but to compromise.
He spoke with difficulty, "Madam, I... I understand. I will hold a press conference to release the evidence against Su Yingxue and clear her name."
But this takes time to prepare, so you have to give me a chance.
His voice was somewhat hoarse, and his eyes revealed helplessness and resentment.
Madam Tan frowned and said sternly, "Time is of the essence, and I don't have much patience. Mr. Liu, you'd better make arrangements as soon as possible and not disappoint me."
General Manager Liu broke out in a cold sweat again. He nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Madam, I'll make the arrangements right away. I will definitely hold a press conference as soon as possible."
Madam Tan nodded slightly, stood up, and prepared to leave.
Tan Zhengchu glanced at President Liu, his eyes carrying a warning.
They then followed Madam Tan out of the private room.
As Mr. Liu watched their retreating figures, his fists clenched, his eyes flashing with fury.
Mr. Liu sat in the private room, trembling with rage. He slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Su Yingxue, it's all your fault!"
Then, he took out his phone.
He dialed the PR manager's number and yelled, "Arrange a press conference for me right now! All preparations must be done by today!"
If anything goes wrong, you're fired!
The PR manager responded meekly on the other end of the phone.
