After opening the comments under the Weibo, he realized that it was a female employee inside Huading who posted a Weibo about him, which attracted the attention and ridicule of netizens.
After reading some of the content in his circle, all of them called him male gods in a joking tone, saying something like accepting their knees. He raised his eyebrows slightly and quickly sent a Weibo.
“Niannian Youyu: There is gold under the knees of men and diamonds under the knees of women. Don’t give your knees to others casually, or your knees will be embarrassed. Especially male compatriots, if you give me your knees, what will you use to propose to your girlfriend in the future? Study hard, work every day, and don’t use your knees to play.”
Lululu: The male god educates people in such a serious tone, which is really cute.
Jiutian Jiuyu: Male god, male god, my knees are also overwhelmed by you, you accept it.
Laiyi Doufu: Academic male god, you are so serious, do your colleagues in the company know?
Lu Chengyu smiled and stopped reading these messages. He switched to his Weibo account to read all kinds of jokes and also read some comments about Huading Electronics products on the Internet, so as to better understand the psychology of young customers. After collecting various opinions, Lu Chengyu suddenly remembered that “Flying Bird” had not attracted advertising sponsors and was filmed entirely with his own private funds. If Huading’s products and the recently developed high-end residential area were filmed, it would be a good promotion for Huading, and he could ask Yan Mu to help him contact the theaters for the movie in the future.
He knew what kind of sensation this movie would cause after its release, so he was reluctant to give up this opportunity to promote Huading, but this matter must be decided after discussing with Yan Mu.
After work on Thursday, Lu Chengyu found a time when Yan Mu was not very busy and went to talk to him about this matter.
After listening to what Lu Chengyu said, Yan Mu pondered for a while and said, “Do you mean to implant Huading soft ads in the movie?” Huading had implanted ads in other TV series or movies, but the effect was average.
“Yes,” Lu Chengyu knew what Yan Mu meant, so he said, “Although this movie is low-budget, my intuition tells me that this movie will definitely be a hit. If products with the Huading trademark are implanted in the movie, it will be a very good publicity channel.”
Yan Mu knew that the information age was serious nowadays, and publicity was also a very important part for company products. In recent years, many companies had spent more and more money on publicity, because everyone knew the impact of popularity on sales share, but often investing a large amount of advertising funds did not necessarily have a good effect. There were too many advertisements now, and everyone’s patience was getting worse and worse due to the pressure of life, so when watching TV, they were very impatient to watch advertisements, and they would change channels when they saw advertisements.
Therefore, implanting advertisements in TV movies, or sponsoring certain variety shows, was a way to increase popularity without causing offence.
Perhaps out of trust in Lu Chengyu, Yan Mu felt that this movie might really improve the reputation of Huading, so he said, “Well, how about the advertising placement fee for this movie…”
“No, this is a movie that my friend and I made for fun. It is our own company, so why do we need advertising fees?” Lu Chengyu waved his hand, “I’ll call Director Zhang later to discuss how to shoot it properly.” Then, he looked up and saw that the always serious Yan Mu seemed to be smiling. He was a little unresponsive. What did he say to make Yan Mu so happy?
“Boss?” Lu Chengyu looked at Yan Mu in confusion, and waited for Yan Mu to look up at him before saying, “Is there any work that I need to do? If not, I’ll go out first.”
“Okay,” Yan Mu nodded, and the smile on his face had disappeared.
Lu Chengyu didn’t care. Before he turned around and walked to the door, he was stopped by Yan Mu. He looked back and saw Yan Mu holding two palm-sized boxes in his hands.
“I heard from Jingshen that you like to drink tea, take this,” Yan Mu looked at Lu Chengyu, and seeing him standing still, he added, “My family has some tea sent by a friend, I can’t drink so much, you help me drink some.”
Lu Chengyu took the tea from his hand, shook the tea and said with a smile: “Thanks, boss.”
He glanced at the name of the tea, West Lake Longjing, good stuff, this kind of tea was the most suitable for drinking in summer.
Seeing Lu Chengyu leave the office with a smile, Yan Mu’s expression softened unconsciously. He flipped through the documents in his hand and realized that he was a little distracted. After taking a few deep breaths, he slowly returned to normal.
As soon as Lu Chengyu returned to the office, he couldn’t wait to open the box of tea, then he smelled the fragrant tea, turned his head and looked at the tea bag worth only three yuan in his cup with disdain, and without hesitation fed the cup of tea to the flowers on the balcony and replaced it with the tea that Yan Mu had just sent.
Holding a freshly brewed cup of tea, Lu Chengyu sat in his office chair and lazily called Director Zhang, and then talked to Director Zhang about the placement of Huading ads.
As a director, he actually didn’t like to add too many ads to his works, but when Director Zhang heard Lu Chengyu talking to him in a tone of negotiation, and explaining that the quality of the film was the most important, and if it really didn’t work, it didn’t matter if there were no ads.
Zhang Shuo was a little embarrassed at first, but after listening to Lu Chengyu’s words, he felt that it was not a big deal. It was just an advertisement. With his cooperation with Qu Lingbei, it wasn’t hard for him to handle such a small matter. Mr. Lu was such a good investor, he couldn’t make it difficult for him, right?
Hearing Zhang Shuo’s affirmative answer, Lu Chengyu hung up the phone with a smile, shook the chair under his buttocks, drank a sip of tea slowly, hummed a few songs, turned on the computer and started to process some documents from various departments. As an assistant, he had to help the president deal with some unimportant documents. If the boss needed to do everything himself, he would be exhausted and not be able to finish it.
However, Yan Mu’s trust in him had exceeded his expectations. Didn’t this person suspect that he might be a commercial spy?
Realizing that his mind was flying a little far, Lu Chengyu curled his lips. People in Yan Mu’s position would have checked his background before using him.
After Thursday, it was Friday. Basically, on this day, employees who could take a weekend off would be in a better mood. Lu Chengyu was not in such a good mood because he received calls from several relatives of the Lu family. These were his uncles and aunts. Although they rarely contacted each other, they finally remembered their nephew the day before Lu Dong was going to get married.
In addition to Lu Dong’s mother, his eldest aunt calling to invite him to the wedding, his second uncle and the eldest and second aunts came to inquire about how much gift money he would be giving, and also wanted to inquire about his current job, and by the way, tell him how much money their son or daughter earned every month.
After answering the calls from these relatives, Lu Chengyu sighed. Since his parents passed away in his previous life, he rarely interacted with these relatives. Perhaps his relatives also felt that he had a shameful life after graduating from college, so they rarely contacted him and even rarely mentioned their nephew in front of outsiders. He didn’t want to go to the homes of relatives who were indifferent to him and look for some illusory family affection, so after a few visits, the feelings became even weaker.
When his parents died in an accident, in addition to the house he lived in now, they also left behind an old house and a deposit. Together with the accident compensation, the money added up was enough to make many people jealous. At that time, his college friends were worried that his relatives would scheme against him because of the money. But it turned out that the relatives on both sides of his parents were quite kind. No one had schemed against him for the money, but they were not very enthusiastic about him either. They were just polite on the surface.
When he sold the old house for a sum of money, no one cared about him. If he hadn’t run into problems when opening a restaurant and lost a lot of money, he would have been considered a person with some extra money. He didn’t know who got the money in the bank and the house when he died in his previous life? No matter what happened in his previous life, he was so awkward when answering the phone now, which was really a bit boring.
“Assistant Lu, the data sheet you asked for,” the secretary knocked on the door, and then waited for a few seconds before pushing the door open and walking in. She regretted her behavior because she posted a Weibo that caused everyone to watch Lu Chengyu, so when she faced Lu Chengyu, she felt guilty and ashamed.
“Excuse me,” Lu Chengyu took the data sheet and smiled at her. Seeing that she looked at him with an embarrassed expression, he asked, “Is there anything else?”
“Assistant Lu, I’m here to apologize to you.” Li Tong now regretted her behavior two days ago. Even though she admired Assistant Lu’s work ability, she shouldn’t have posted things in real life on Weibo. Fortunately, there were just some jokes and did not cause Assistant Lu any real trouble, but if her Weibo had affected Assistant Lu’s life, how would things end?
When she woke up yesterday morning, she regretted it a little, but she didn’t have the courage to apologize, so she just deleted the two Weibo posts.
But now seeing Assistant Lu being so polite to her, she felt even more ashamed to look at him: “I posted those two Weibo posts the day before yesterday. I didn’t expect so many people would leave comments under your Weibo. I won’t do such brainless things again in the future. I’m really sorry.”
Lu Chengyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “It’s okay. Things on the Internet are lively for two days.” He paused and said, “It’s for the best that you can understand this kind of thing. It’s great to know your mistakes and improve them. Just don’t make such mistakes in the future.” After saying that, he was worried that the young assistant would feel uncomfortable, and comforted her, “It’s okay, go do your work, I’m not angry.” Although he didn’t like this kind of thing, the other party’s current attitude was still admirable.
He had met many different types of people in his previous life, and there were also people who made mistakes but blamed others. The fact that Li Tong came to apologize meant that this young girl had no problems with her character. It was not bad for Cao Jingshen to have such an assistant.
Li Tong left the assistant’s office in a daze. Thinking of Assistant Lu’s gentle words, she couldn’t help rubbing her slightly red cheeks. She would never do such a stupid thing again. Besides, Assistant Lu was really a real male god!
The way he smiled just now almost made her cry!
Outside the president’s office, Yan Mu looked at Li Tong’s back as she walked into the elevator, and then looked at the closed door of the assistant’s office. After hesitating for a moment, he pretended to pass by the assistant’s office casually. Through the unclosed blinds, he saw Lu Chengyu holding a teacup and looking at a document on the table seriously. His pace slowly slowed down, and he frowned and wondered, why did he feel that Assistant Lu’s serious look… made people feel comfortable?
