Chapter 587 The Clown
The more Zhang Ruiyan spoke, the more she felt that what she said made sense. She leaned forward slightly and pressed towards Li Jiawei, trying to put some psychological pressure on her.
Seeing Li Jiawei silent, Zhang Ruiyan said, "Mr. Li, you are so rich, you don't need this 10 million. And if it becomes a hot topic, then the loss of "Meishang" will be more than 10 million. Don't lose the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds!"
Li Jiawei raised her hand to pick up the coffee in front of her, took a sip, and the bitterness spread on the tip of her tongue. But the bitterness of this coffee was nothing compared to the bitterness in her heart caused by the darkness of human nature.
The longer she stayed in this interest field, the clearer she saw human nature. Li Xuanbao, Li Yan, Zhang Ruiyan, and of course herself, were all constantly calculating.
Everyone is in this field of interests and thinks that what they do is right.
Li Jiawei is an introverted person and has never been good at confronting others.
But over the years, she has experienced so many fights, big and small, whether active or passive, that she is almost developing a stress response.
Now, when facing an opponent's attack, she doesn't even need to think too much, the response strategy has already unfolded in her mind.
Li Jiawei put down the coffee cup, sighed heavily, and looked straight at Zhang Ruiyan, her eyes full of disappointment: "Zhang Ruiyan, you really disappoint me.
After working in self-media for so many years, do you really think you have understood all the twists and turns on the Internet, and even think you can manipulate people's hearts at will? "
She paused, her tone unconsciously emphasizing, "There are always unexpected things in everything. You've never considered that once the conflict with Meishang is exposed online, things will develop in the opposite direction of what you expected. How will you end it then?"
At this point, Li Jiawei sighed again. She didn't want to take things too far: "Let me make it clear, if it really comes to that, you won't have any chance of winning. You will lose completely and there will be nothing left in the end.
And by then, Meishang will definitely not let go of the losses you have caused it.
Extortion, misappropriation of company assets, everything. When the time comes, jail time is the inevitable outcome for you."
At this point, Li Jiawei leaned forward slightly and said, "Do you really want to give up everything you have now and gamble on an outcome that is uncertain?"
Zhang Ruiyan knew that although Li Jiawei's words were threatening, every word was true.
She looked at Li Jiawei closely, trying to see something from her expression, but was disappointed. Li Jiawei's face was very calm, without a ripple, as if the person opposite her was an insignificant person.
When facing Wu Ziqi, Zhang Ruiyan never had the slightest fear. In her eyes, Wu Ziqi was just lucky.
Just because she and Li Jiawei were classmates, she had the opportunity to leverage Li Jiawei's influence and become the editor-in-chief of "Meishang". To be honest, in her eyes, Wu Ziqi's work ability was mediocre and she had no real skills at all.
But now, Zhang Ruiyan knew that every word she said to Li Jiawei was not a bluff. Every word she said was powerful and exuded unquestionable deterrent power.
Zhang Ruiyan's tone softened, losing her previous toughness and arrogance, and she whispered, "Boss Li, to be honest, the conditions offered to me by the rival company are quite generous, and the price offered is very tempting.
However, if Meishang can give me satisfactory conditions, I am not the kind of person who doesn’t remember the past, so we can discuss it!"
Li Jiawei raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and smiled faintly. Then she slowly stretched out her finger, pointed at the wall cabinet behind her, and said, "There is a camera here, and our conversation just now was recorded by it.
You might as well think about what kind of storm it would cause if this footage were released?
By then, going to jail is the least of your worries. Being spurned by the entire internet and dying socially is the nightmare that will follow you everywhere and you can’t get rid of it.”
Zhang Ruiyan's smile froze on her face instantly. She followed the direction of Li Jiawei's finger and looked towards the wall cabinet, only to see a camera there.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Li Jiawei was willing to have a long speech with her here, it turned out that she had planned it all along.
She was shocked and angry, and her voice unconsciously rose a few notes: "Li Jiawei, are you going to kill me? Besides, you secretly recorded the video, which is illegal and cannot be used as evidence at all!"
Li Jiawei shook her head gently, still with that meaningful smile on her face, and said calmly: "You should know who is the person who has been pressing you step by step.
The company has backed down again and again, but you are still pushing it further. Besides, I didn't say I would use this video as evidence. I just wanted to remind you not to think that you are the only one who knows how to use public opinion. In terms of using public opinion, Meishang has a much greater advantage than you."
Zhang Ruiyan pretended to be tough, but her calm appearance could not hide her inner guilt and fear. She said in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Li, public opinion is a very variable matter. If we really want to compete, it is not the one with the most power who will win. In the field of public opinion, the weak can often turn the tide."
Li Jiawei looked calm: "Don't worry about that. Besides, aren't you counting on the promise your ex-husband's company made to you? Everyone is using their power to suppress others, so there are no weak ones!
How about this, I'll give you some time, you can call your ex-husband now and find out what their plans are now.
If they are determined to compete with "Meishang" in the field of public opinion, I will take over at any time and fight to the end! "
Zhang Ruiyan couldn't help but understand what was said. She knew that if Li Jiawei dared to say that, then something must have gone wrong in her husband's company.
Now that things have come to this, there is nothing to hide.
Zhang Ruiyan did not leave the office. She took out her mobile phone and called her husband in front of Li Jiawei.
The call was connected quickly, and Li Jiawei only heard Zhang Ruiyan say, "How are your preparations going?"
I don’t know what was said on the other end of the phone, but I saw the color on Zhang Ruiyan’s face quickly fade away, and her expression changed from expectation to shock, and finally solidified into gray.
Less than two minutes later, she hung up the phone, looked up at Li Jiawei, and pulled out a bitter smile that was uglier than crying. Her tone was full of dejection and admiration: "Boss Li, I lost. Am I just a clown in front of you? Your tricks are really amazing, so smart!"
Li Jiawei sighed slightly, her expression calm, and her tone revealed a bit of helplessness: "In fact, if everyone can be calm and part ways amicably, I really don't want to make things go to this extent."
Zhang Ruiyan's hands unconsciously clenched into fists, her knuckles turned white from the force, and she tried her best to suppress the fear and panic surging in her heart.
