170: The 170th day of being popular
But they went ahead and acted on their own, causing trouble with the fans and the fan club, and even teamed up with that guy, Feng Shiyuan.
Through the collective efforts of this group of people, what seemed like an excellent dead end was directly turned around!
Yao Bianliang couldn't sit still anymore and immediately called Zhou Fei.
The call was quickly answered, and Zhou Fei's cheerful voice came from the other end, "Sister Liang, have you seen the trending topics? Following your instructions, we have successfully completed the mission!"
Yao Bianliang: "..."
You're still happy? And you're still seeking praise?
What do you mean by "successfully completing the mission"? That's not what we discussed.
Yao Bianliang showed a teeth-gritting smile, "Oh, then tell me, what was the mission I gave you?"
Zhou Fei paused for a moment and asked in confusion, "Sister Liang, didn't you ask us to boost the popularity? Our heat has already reached the top of the trending list."
Yao Bianliang: "..."
Yes, I did ask you to boost the popularity, but not this way.
Any normal person would understand that the instruction was to help the Lu Group and increase support. Why do these guys have such a quirky way of thinking?
Zhou Fei continued, "We misunderstood your meaning at first and thought you wanted us to help Lu Yanchen. Thankfully, Feng Ge's message made us realize our mistake in time."
As he said this, Zhou Fei felt a little embarrassed.
"Since you had already arranged for Feng Ge to give criticism, it was impossible for us to help Lu Yanchen. Naturally, you wanted us to take a different stance and create controversy to generate attention."
Yao Bianliang: "..."
So, that's what happened.
Zhou Fei and the others understood the original instruction; it was just that, after watching Feng Shiyuan's meal-eating video, they had misinterpreted it.
Understanding the key to the situation, Yao Bianliang felt a bit overwhelmed.
Would they believe her if she said that she had actually forgotten about Feng Shiyuan's video?
"So, you teamed up with Feng Shiyuan and organized this activity?" Yao Bianliang felt a bit resentful.
Zhou Fei cautiously said, "Yes, I sent you the activity schedule earlier, and it contained the relevant details."
That workflow table?
Yao Bianliang was taken aback when she heard this, and without further ado, she opened the file.
She carefully searched for relevant information in the dense text and finally found the words "Feng Ge's Comments on Film and Television."
So, it was all here waiting for her!
When she was about to board the plane, she didn't bother to look at such a professional document, so she asked Zhou Fei to hand it over to Assistant Chen for review.
Now she realized that Assistant Chen probably misunderstood her intentions, just like Zhou Fei and the others, leading to the current situation.
With this thought, Yao Bianliang couldn't help but feel sorrowful and fell into silence, not wanting to speak.
Can she really blame Zhou Fei and the others entirely?
They indeed have some responsibility, but she also didn't take the time to review the document carefully, which ultimately resulted in such a big loophole.
Yao Bianliang's head throbbed a bit, and she took a deep breath, saying, "From now on, you must explain every activity plan in plain language, no more professional terminology!"
"Also, all activity documents must be reviewed by me, not a single one can be missed."
In any case, a similar situation must never happen again.
She was too careless this time and trusted Zhou Fei and the others' abilities too much, which led to the unexpected disaster.
Next time, she must be strict and vigilant and never repeat the same mistakes!
After ending the call, Yao Bianliang felt mentally exhausted and rubbed her temples.
Should she find a reason to get rid of Zhou Fei, this "genius," from the company?
Now it seemed that this seemingly harmless rookie PR was not as useless as she had imagined.
On the contrary, the guy was smart!
Such a daunting task it would be difficult for anyone else to accomplish it so well.
Unfortunately, Zhou Fei achieved a complete turnaround in such a short time, leading their small studio to outperform the Lu Group.
"Directly firing him is definitely not an option, and I don't have a legitimate reason..." Yao Bianliang tried to suppress her restless emotions, "I have to find another way to quickly get rid of this Zhou Fei from the company."
Yao Bianliang was filled with regret now, a real regret.
She shouldn't have brought Zhou Fei into the company in the first place. Now it's really easier said than done to get him to leave the company.
Yao Bianliang pondered, thinking she could introduce Zhou Fei to other major companies or let him work for other celebrities.
In any case, he absolutely couldn't stay in her studio.
While lost in thought, a staff member not far away waved towards them.
"Teacher Yao, the bus is here. We need to pack up and get ready to leave."
Hearing the voice, Yao Bianliang slowly came back to her senses.
Her fingers were still trembling slightly, mainly because the bad news she received earlier was too overwhelming, leaving her unable to calm down for a long time.
"Okay, I'm coming," she said, but she noticed her voice was a bit hoarse as she spoke.
At this moment, Mo Yougan was also preparing to leave. He turned his head towards Yao Bianliang, seeing that her expression was extremely unpleasant as if she had heard earth-shattering news.
He asked with concern, "What's wrong... Are you feeling unwell?"
Yao Bianliang forced a bitter smile, trying to appear normal.
Nonsense! She's upset again, and the reason she's upset is still because of herself. How can she feel comfortable?
Yan Xiaoli, as Yao Bianliang's assistant, was helping with the packing. When she noticed the commotion, she immediately put down her work and walked over.
"Sister Liang, what's going on?" Yan Xiaoli gently touched her forehead with the back of her hand and felt that her temperature was normal, so she sighed relief.
It was mainly because Yao Bianliang's face was too pale at the moment, making people worried.
"It's nothing, I just heard some bad news," Yao Bianliang said with a sense of desolation, "You don't have to worry about me, I just need some time to calm down."
Several staff members around also noticed the situation and cast concerned glances. Even the assistant director put down his work and prepared to come over to inquire.
Mo Yougan asked worriedly, "What happened?"
Yao Bianliang hesitated for a moment.
This matter is not easy to explain. She can't just say that she suddenly became popular and couldn't accept this sad fact for a while, right? That would sound very strange.
After contemplating for a moment, Yao Bianliang made an analogy, "It's like if Mr. Mo, you invested in a project that was 100% certain to lose money, but after the project was completed, it made you earn over ten billion in one night."
She paused and looked at Mo Yougan, "It's probably that kind of painful feeling. Can you relate to that feeling?"
