Chapter 441: 441: Yin Qin Sets a Trap, Li Wenjun Falls in (First update)
As he reached the entrance of his office, he instructed Wu Meili, “Come in with me.”
Wu Meili hurriedly followed.
Sitting in his office chair Yin Qin told Wu Meili, “Take note of a few things.”
“Yes.”
“First thing, at 5 p.m., call all the well-known media in Jin City. I am going to hold a press conference.”
“Another one?” Wu Meili blurted out, unable to suppress it.
Yin Qin raised his eyebrow.
“I just feel that the chairman’s actions have been a bit too frequent lately, always making headlines. If the exposure is too frequent, it might backfire. We shouldn’t expose ourselves every day for no reason, it’s like diminishing our market value. I think it’s not worth it,” Wu Meili quietly suggested.
All these, just for Ji Baixing?!
So sternly rejected by Ji Baixing once, couldn’t he be a little harder?
Moreover, by doing this, where does he put his wife?!
Yin Qin wasn’t persuaded, he simply stated, “I can gauge my own actions.”
Alright then.
Anyhow, you are the boss, you have the final say.
“Second, I may not participate much in the “Hall of Heaven” program this time. I can’t get too involved. You will be fully responsible for all project group matters. If they have any problems, go directly to me. Try to report to me at once, I will make time to discuss “Hall of Heaven” with you separately.”
“So, you mean, this week the chairman is not going to be following up with the “Hall of Heaven” project?” Wu Meili asked with some emotion.
It took a lot of effort to get to this point, and now suddenly he’s dropping it?!
Exactly what is he planning to do?!
Someday, their chairman will utterly ruin himself over a woman!
“Just do as I instructed,” Yin Qin said without any explanation. He continued: “Third, if anyone wants to discuss advertising or other sponsorship for “Hall of Heaven” during this period, reject all of them.”
“Chairman, this is the biggest money-making part of the program, aren’t you going to consider it?” Wu Meili was almost stomping her foot.
Companies are not charities, everything they do ultimately is to make money! Is the chairman disregarding public interests?!
She had no clue what the chairman was thinking?!
She had no idea about his thought process.
“Understood all that?” Yin Qin emphasized once again.
“Yes,” Wu Meili nodded.
Anyway, she will just silently watch her chairman continue ruining himself!
5:30 in the afternoon.
Yin Qin appeared at the press conference.
Many reporters were present.
The theme Yin Qin had invited them for was “Responding to Li Wenjun’s Good Intentions,” which piqued the interest of all media.
Without Yin Qin opening his mouth,
The reporters on the scene couldn’t hold back anymore.
Yin Qin did not stop them.
Reporters were talking incessantly, “Chairman Yin, what do you have to say about Li Wenjun’s accusation against Ji Baixing in the news today?”
“Is Ji Baixing still bothering you?”
“Is Ji Baixing really as Li Wenjun said, fickle and loves toying with men’s emotions?”
“Please answer.”
Yin Qin said, “With you all like this, I cannot answer. Please be quiet.”
The scene gradually quieted down.
Yin Qin stood up from his seat and looked at all the reporters below.
With continuous camera clicks and flashes,
He cleared his throat and said, “I’ve seen the news of Li Wenjun today, I’ve read it back and forth many times, and I read every word very clearly.”
All reporters stared at him intently, fearing to miss a single word or expression.
Yin Qin said, “So I know, everything he said today, is completely bullshit!”
“…” The scene exploded into chatter.
The reporters exploded again, “Does the chairman mean, Li Wenjun is lying?”
“Which part of what Li Wenjun said is not true? About the design drafts? About his relationship with Ji Baixing, about Ji Baixing’s character?”
“Chairman, please give us a direct answer.”
Yin Qin gestured for everyone to be quiet.
The reporters all quieted down again.
“What I just said is clear. It’s all bullshit! Plagiarism? Toyed with his feelings? Can’t let go of me? Ji Baixing’s promiscuity? It’s all bullshit! To be clearer, Li Wenjun lacks Ji Baixin’s design abilities. He can’t stand to see Ji Baixin surpass him and is deliberately trying to defame her.” Yin Qin spoke very clearly, one word at a time.
“This is just a one-sided statement from the chairman! Everyone knows that the chairman and Ji Baixin have a complicated relationship. It’s understandable that you’re speaking for her.”
“So I don’t want to explain too much. Without any evidence, it’s all nonsense!” Yin Qin is very calm in the face of the reporters’ questions, he said, “In addition, I’ve thought of a good way to prove who’s right and who’s wrong between Ji Baixin and Li Wenjun!”
“What’s the approach?”
“It’s simple, isn’t Li Wenjun always saying that Ji Baixing is plagiarizing his designs? Isn’t he saying that Ji Baixing doesn’t have the design ability?! Then let them compete fairly! In the fourth round of the “Hall of Heaven” Grand Finals, with ‘Unrequited Love’ as the theme, they will have five days to design and the international professional jury – Alice will vote. Whoever wins this competition will show whether Li Wenjun or I’m telling the truth. There’s more at stake! No matter who wins, as long as they win, “Hall of Heaven” will have their designer. Not only that, the winner will be the only designer for all future Milky Way variety programmes!”
After he finished speaking, there was some commotion at the scene.
Yin Qin didn’t let reporters ask more, he continued to say, “Ji Baixin has agreed to this proposal. Now it’s up to Li Wenjun, whether he dares to accept the challenge! I’m waiting.”
Having said that,
Yin Qin slightly bowed, “Thank you all for attending my press conference.”
Then, he promptly left.
Swift and decisive.
The reporters were still in a daze, Yin Qin had already disappeared from the conference room.
The reporters watched Yin Qin’s departure, then quickly dispersed.
To quickly write their news drafts.
Soon,
News of Yin Qin appeared on the headlines of major media outlets.
Everyone was eagerly waiting for the next reaction.Next, a response from Li Wenjun.
Li Wenjun will definitely send an invitation, no one can blame him.
He is currently at Yin Ying’s villa.
Yin Ying and Wei Cheng are both there.
Yin Ying put down her phone and turned to Li Wenjun, “Are you confident?”
Li Wenjun was very clear that in terms of design, he did not have Ji Baixin’s ability.
Yet at that moment, he forced a nod, “Of course. I studied abroad, my designs are inherently more cutting-edge than Ji Baixin’s. Didn’t Yin Qin say he would invite the Alice International Review Committee? They do not place much credibility on designs made within Yanshang Country, Ji Baixin has no market.”
“That’s good.” Yin Ying nodded, then asked again with some concern, “This Alice International Review Committee, Yin Qin couldn’t have bribed them, could he?”
Li Wenjun laughed and gave a very confident answer, “No, rest assured. The Alice International Review Committee is the most authoritative review committee within our circle. That Yin Qin was able to invite them is a feat in itself, they can’t possibly be bought, nor does anyone have the capability to buy them! I must admit, I do admire Yin Qin to an extent, he actually knows about this committee, while those outside our circle usually don’t know of its existence.”
“I’m not interested in the other stuff, I only want to know if this review committee can be bought.” Yin Ying was not particularly interested in the technical details.
Li Wenjun nodded, giving his reaffirmation once again.
Yin Ying turned to her son, “Obviously, these few days Yin Qin will be focusing on your design competition with Ji Baixin. With such a great opportunity given to you, you must seize it.”
“Of course.” Wei Cheng sneered, “Yin Qin is still that prodigal son, always unable to distinguish the weight of things for the sake of a woman.”
“Don’t underestimate this, I don’t want to endlessly worry about Yin Qin’s affairs for your sake any longer, I’m not young anymore, I want to enjoy my days!”
“Understood.” Wei Cheng responded.
Yin Ying said nothing else, turning to Li Wenjun she said, “Make a post on social media now, announce your acceptance of Yin Qin’s challenge.”
“Alright.” Li Wenjun nodded hastily.
Yin Ying stood up from the couch, weary, “I’m off to take a shower.”
“I’ll accompany you.” Li Wenjun hastily offered.
“No need, use that time to think about your design!” Yin Ying said, “If you lose, you’re very aware of what will become of you.”
“Don’t worry.”
Yin Ying nodded and went upstairs.
Wei Cheng also returned to his room.
Only after the mother and son left, did Li Wenjun pick up the phone to make a call.
The person on the other end was somewhat collapsing, “Enough already, I’ve already given it to you, don’t push your luck.”
“What are you getting so worked up for? I didn’t say anything?” Li Wenjun gave a sinister smile.
“Anyway, I absolutely won’t agree to anything this time. Last time you and Ji Baixin’s designs were so similar, Ji Baixing will suspect we have an insider. If she were to investigate and find out, I’d be done for, and you won’t earn yourself a good reputation either,” Anna said fiercely.
“I won’t be more foolish than you! Rest assured, this time around I won’t ask you to do anything, nor will I use Ji Baixin’s design. I just want you to keep an eye on Ji Baixin for me throughout the whole process and let me know about her designs!”
“Why do you need her designs? Can’t you just design your own?”
“Only when I know of her designs can I know how to defeat her! Explaining all this to you is useless anyways, just do as I say, otherwise, I will send the video of us before directly to your son’s school. It wasn’t easy for you to get your son into his current school, so think about it…”
“Enough!” Anna was falling apart.
“Last time, once I win this time, there will be absolutely no more ties with Ji Baixin, so there will no longer be incidents like this.”
Anna bit her lip hard.
“Waiting for your good news.” Li Wenjun didn’t say much and hung up the phone.
Because it’s very clear, this woman will certainly cooperate.
He put down the phone and started to make a post on social media.
The content of the post: “I am delighted that Yin Qin has given me such an opportunity to prove myself, I accept the invitation.”
As soon as the post was published.
The comments spiraled into the tens of thousands.
So many people were looking forward to this competition.
He had to win.
He must win, no matter what it takes!
Yin Qin also saw the post.
Becuase so many people left comments under it.
Comments kept popping up on his social media, but he only took a glance and exited.
He had predicted that Li Wenjun would accept the invitation, so there was nothing to be excited about.
He continued dealing with some work-related matters.
When he finished.
He picked up the phone, “Secretary Wu, come in please.”
“Yes.”
Wu Meili stood in front of Yin Qin.
Yin Qin said, “Help me book a flight to Love City in M Country for two hours from now.”
“Are you going on a business trip, Chairman?”
“I’m going to invite the Alice Review Committee. I must go there in person, otherwise they won’t come.”
“Chairman, is it really suitable for you to leave at such a crucial time?” Wu Meili was completely at a loss.
Even if he didn’t really handle any of the “Hall of Heaven” program’s matters, he couldn’t just leave so suddenly.
“Just do as I say.” Yin Qin said, “I will keep my phone line open 24 hours a day.”
Wu Meili could only nod.
“I’m going home to pack now. Inform me once you’ve bought the ticket.”
“Yes.”
Yin Qin closed his computer and left work.
He drove home.
Since it was only a little after 8 PM, everyone at home was still awake.
His appearance obviously attracted everyone’s attention.
Before anyone had the chance to speak, Yin Qin said straightforwardly, “I’m heading to M Country for two days, came home now to pack.”
Qin Keqin’s fury was igniting!
