I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

As Lü Yuanwu slammed his cards down and left, the entire office was in an uproar.

The employees all stood up; some wanted to pull Lü Yuanwu away, while others wanted to come over and ask what had happened.

Seeing the employees gradually gathering, Lu Qingxuan calmed down, her eyes darted around, and she suddenly reached out and grabbed Chen Ya's collar.

The two were breathing so deeply that you could hear each other's breaths; they looked like they were about to kiss.

"I've stopped you so many times! You just wouldn't listen to me. But you're the person Great-Grandma chose, and I was just someone you dragged into this mess. I couldn't stop you anyway. But what you did just now, even a little thought wouldn't have led you to do that!"

The girl's voice was so loud that the employees in the office could hear it.

"Yunshang Jinghua is a professional team, and every part is indispensable. Even if you can't tolerate any flaws, treating the person in charge here so roughly is going too far."

"Even if you're thinking of the family, once you're in this position, you're a member of Yunshang Jinghua. You should be working for the benefit of Yunshang Jinghua and taking responsibility for those outside, instead of just thinking about eliminating those who make mistakes!"

Even when a pretty girl gets angry, she remains so composed.

With her brows furrowed, her face contorted in a reproachful expression, her cherry lips tightly pressed together, and her teeth clenched, she made one's teeth itch with rage at the person she was angry with.

Her words just now were truly memorable.

Just how arrogant and self-willed must this guy be to have angered the girl so much? People couldn't help but think that.

Some employees couldn't help but clench their fists secretly.

Chen Ya looked at Lu Qingxuan's eyes and smiled.

"The reaction was quick, but the acting was a bit over the top."

After giving this hint, Lu Qingxuan was slightly taken aback, but then pretended not to hear it and continued to hold onto his collar.

Chen Ya was speechless.

The way this girl is talking is just like I was ten years ago.

The first sentence draws a clear line, the second sentence flatters the employees, and the third sentence builds a sense of belonging... This crude rhetoric can only fool those hot-blooded employees outside.

He reached out and wrapped his arm around Lu Qingxuan's waist, looking almost like he was about to kiss her. The girl was startled and quickly let go of him, taking two steps back and bumping into the desk.

But she soon realized that it was just her imagination.

Chen Ya easily broke free from her grasp, straightened his collar, walked to the door, glanced at the employees who were staring at him with hatred, and then slammed the office door shut in front of everyone, while closing the blinds.

After doing all that, he clapped his hands, turned around, and said:

“Ms. Lu, you can speak loudly now.”

“I was speaking loudly just now.”

“No, what I mean is, you can speak the truth now,” Chen Ya said. “That wasn’t you just now.”

Lu Qingxuan raised her eyebrows.

She reached out and grabbed Chen Ya's hand. Seeing that there was no recording software on his phone screen, she lowered her eyes, walked to the door, and listened for a while with her ear pressed against it.

Then she came back, sat on the sofa, crossed her long legs, and her expression was completely different from before.

"Hmph, you're a bit smarter than I thought, and you're not just a clueless idiot who only knows how to play the piano. Well then, let me tell you something. Do you know who Lü Yuanwu is?"

"Who?"

"Lu Qingzhou".

Lu Qingzhou, former chairman of Haiya Company.

Although Haiya was later acquired by Aihua and became a wholly-owned subsidiary, as a company jointly built by Jiang Xinhai and Chen Ya, Haiya was definitely not a small fry that could be easily crushed by Aihua.

In fact, the Lu family has been developing the domestic entertainment ecosystem for many years and has always regarded Haiya Company as its main competitor.

Back then, as long as Haiya Company existed, Aihua would never dare to claim that it dominated the Chinese entertainment industry.

After acquiring Haiya Company, in order to erase the imprint left by Chen Ya and Jiang Xinhai on the company, the Lu family sent Lu Qingzhou to serve as the new president of Haiya, and to be fully responsible for the operation of Haiya Company.

A few years later, Lu Qingzhou became the chairman of Haiya.

Note that those sent to Haiya at that time were not Lu Yuanlong's brothers, Lu Yuanhu and Lu Yuanbao.

It was Lu Qingzhou, the son of the third wife.

It wasn't because Yuan Hu and Yuan Bao had better lucrative positions at the time, but because Lu Qingzhou's status far surpassed that of others.

He doesn't care what happens to a nobody like Lü Yuanwu, but things are different when Lü Yuanwu has Lu Qingzhou backing him up.

Lu Qingxuan sat on the sofa, her expression completely different from before. She played with the ends of her hair and said:

"You handle things too arbitrarily, always thinking that you have evidence and can manipulate others at will. But in reality, you think you are on the second level and think of others as the first level."

"But actually everyone is on the third floor; you're not even in the basement."

Perhaps to make it easier for Chen Ya to understand, she spoke very slowly:

“I stopped you before, but you didn’t understand and probably even laughed at me for being weak. So I’ll patiently explain it to you again. Listen carefully.”

"The political world has its rules, the business world has its rules, and the Lu family has its own rules. Note that these are not just rules, but regulations. To survive in the Lu family, you must understand these regulations."

"My great-grandmother was the absolute authority in the family. Even Uncle Yuanlong had to listen to her. But everything she said was something Uncle Yuanlong wanted to hear. There wasn't a single word she said that he didn't want to do."

"I can tell you with certainty that even if you hand this evidence to your great-grandmother, the people around her will snatch it away to avoid upsetting her and hurting her health."

"And then what? Then they'll ask you what's next for Cloud Jinghua, whether it's still operating normally, and what its current revenue is."

"Of course there's nothing there, because Lü Yuanwu is gone. He led this team. You're sitting in this position with nothing but a feather in your hand. All he has to do is say one word on the phone, and you can't do anything. Nobody will listen to you."

"And then what? Then, naturally, we invited Lü Yuanwu back."

"Lu Qingzhou can also take this opportunity to turn the tables on you. From then on, Lu Yuanwu's position will be more secure, and no one will care about his embezzlement anymore. You will be branded as a loser and will bear the darkest blame for making your great-grandmother's decision wrong."

"It's the simplest truth, like that line from the movie: 'Can this city exist without the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), or without a police force?'"

Lu Qingxuan stared into Chen Ya's eyes and said:

"You're probably going to blame me for not making things clear before, and for using you to play a part in winning people over, but you're already out of the game, defeated by your own arrogance. I haven't, and don't need to, be out with you, so I might as well lend you my services. Have I made myself clear?"

Chen Ya smiled.

Lu Qingxuan was not eliminated. Her earlier outburst of anxiety and stomping of her feet was merely an act for the public to see.

Let everyone see the cracks in their relationship, see that she's not a member of the Lu family who betrays her own, and see that she shouldn't have stuck with the pot at all.

However, she made a few mistakes.

Even Liu Ruying, who was standing silently to the side, knew that Lu Qingxuan had made a mistake.

The huge stack of documents that Liu Ruying had compiled for Chen Ya contained everything imaginable. Naturally, it also included information about Lu Qingzhou, and his good nephew who was in charge of Yunshang Jinghua.

How could Chen Ya not know about this relationship?

"First, you think the family values ​​Lü Yuanwu's abilities more than they care about his corruption, but in my opinion, his abilities are not worth mentioning."

"Secondly, I'm actually on the fifth floor."

After saying this, he pushed open the door and said to all the employees in the office, "Everyone, get to the meeting room now."

After saying that, he turned around and said to Lu Qingxuan in the room, "Including you."

……

Five minutes later, only a handful of people were seated in the conference room.

Chen Ya and Lu Qingxuan sat in the front row, Liu Ruying stood next to them, and Cui Lingfeng sat in the corner with his eyes closed, resting.

Sitting opposite them were only four people, creating a situation of equal strength with the four of them.

Chen Ya glanced at his watch and asked Liu Ruying beside him, "Are the rest of the people not coming?"

Liu Ruying replied with a hint of reluctance: "Anyway, they're all sitting in their seats and haven't moved."

“Then let’s pretend they were all absent,” Chen Ya said.

Sixteen out of twenty people in the office were absent, which was truly disheartening. The four people sitting in the conference room felt uneasy and even wanted to go back to the office.

Lu Qingxuan, who was sitting to the side, covered her face.

Just as she said, she guessed perfectly.

Thinking that people will listen to you in the workplace is pure delusion, especially when your position is awkward.

Chen Ya's position was quite awkward. He was in charge, but not entirely responsible; he was parachuted in and would only stay for three months before leaving.

This kind of identity would be a hollow one for anyone else.

He arrived for only one day and his conflict with the original leader became public. How are the employees supposed to know what kind of people he is? If they follow him and then he gets promoted and Lü Yuanwu comes back, wouldn't that make things difficult for them?

Generally speaking, accepting one's fate, getting some experience, parting amicably, and maintaining peaceful relations with the original person in charge is the best option.

But this person just couldn't stand having too much trouble and insisted on doing it himself.

Lu Qingxuan thought Chen Ya was really too naive. She didn't know what he was after.

Now when he says he's having a meeting, nobody takes it seriously. Lu Qingxuan thinks it's entirely his own fault, and he deserves it.

Chen Ya said to the four people sitting in front of him:

"I just looked at the recent content of Yunshang Jinghua and found a problem: Yunshang Jinghua's operation strategy is seriously outdated and will soon be eliminated by the trend."

"Lu Yuanwu's approach is to use templates, create content, and inflate the numbers. I don't know how long it's been since you've seen genuine comments; today's audiences call you 'marketing accounts.'"

"Marketing is not a problem; all accounts are doing marketing. But the key is that we can't capture the audience's attention. Apart from the official WeChat account, Yunshang Jinghua's content on other platforms has completely collapsed. Every time new content is released, a wave of followers is lost. Therefore, many platforms have started to stop updating."

"In order to maintain popularity, Lü Yuanwu has been buying fake followers and inactive accounts, resulting in extremely high operating costs and a huge shortfall."

"At the same time, he had long seen the downward trend, so he had been using the account to cash out. I don't know if you are aware of this."

“But none of that matters anymore, because I’m here,” Chen Ya said. “From now on, Yunshang Jinghua will start from scratch. My plan is to catch up with the previous popularity of Yunshang Jinghua in one week.”

"The new Cloud Jinghua will be centered around these eight people present here. I suggest you be mentally prepared."

The four people sitting in the front looked at each other in bewilderment.

This newly appointed leader sounds...

Kind of outrageous.

Chen Ya said to the four people in front of him, "I just looked at your resumes. Two of you are from the copywriting team, one is from the graphic design team, and one is from the writing team. Do you have any photography skills?"

One person raised their hand.

"What about those who can edit?"

The two raised their hands and looked at each other.

Has anyone filmed short videos?

No one raised their hand this time.

"That's enough." Chen Ya closed his notebook. "That's enough. There's no need to bring in any more people. Let those outside fend for themselves."

Lu Qingxuan crossed her arms and coldly watched him from the side: "You want to make a short video?"

“Yes, short videos.” Chen Ya looked at Lu Qingxuan and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Qingxuan asked, her face full of displeasure. For some reason, she wanted to punch Chen Ya in the face. "The key question is what kind of short videos you want to make. Restaurant reviews? Food? Or cute pets? You need to build up your popularity. A week isn't enough."

She paused, then added, "Moreover, in less than a week, Lu Qingzhou will report you to your great-grandmother. No matter how good your food is, they'll find fault with it. You won't have time to turn things around."

In her view, Chen Ya was completely out of the game, and everything he was doing now was a death throes.

It would be better to think carefully about how to apologize to Great-Grandma when the time comes, and what to bring to Lü Yuanwu's house to ask him to return the money so as not to lose face.

Chen Ya didn't seem to have considered any of this at all. He just grinned mischievously, then leaned close to Lu Qingxuan's ear and whispered something.

After hearing this, Lu Qingxuan's entire face turned red.

"This is impossible!"

"No, that's possible."

"Vulgar! Dirty!" Lu Qingxuan looked at Chen Ya with a panicked expression. "Pervert!"

Liu Ruying unconsciously pricked up her ears.

"You won't accept it, huh? I feel like you'll regret it."

Chen Ya stood up, squinted at Liu Ruying, then looked at Lu Qingxuan, compared them, and said:

"Actually, it would be fine to let Ruying go."

Liu Ruying blinked, wondering what he had just said. She felt a mixture of curiosity and a sense of shame.
