Now that the production team of the television station had run away, the few cats and puppies left could not work. The busiest department was the advertising department. After broadcasting for so many days, the viewership ratings had stabilized. Although Joly's reputation was not very good, so what?
It would be the Spring Festival in half a month. This was a traditional Chinese festival. Compared to the later generations, it was more festive. They started to prepare early, so the competition for advertising space was even more intense.
In just a few days, the television station had earned more than 100 million in advertising fees. This was not counting the ongoing negotiations. Looking at the financial report in his hand, Joly became even more confident.
"President Qiao, have you read today's newspaper?”Xu Hui walked in casually.
Jolly's eyelids twitched. Jolly had told her a few times in the past that she did not need to knock on the door, but it had never worked. She did not know why, but why did she change it today?
"Not yet. Is there anything new? Everyone must be tired of seeing her always hugging me, right?”
"It's not that new. It's just that two newspapers have apologized to you, especially Luyang News. Their chief editor personally apologized and even resigned.”
"What? I've already prepared my lawyer, so why are they so cowardly?”
"Bah! What nonsense are you talking about?"
Jolly was stunned for a moment before he suddenly understood what she meant. He could only laugh dryly. ha. Forget I said anything. Seriously, it's none of your business whether she withers or not.”
"I'm at work! Can you watch your words?"
"Ugh! Alright, alright, it's my fault. Are the other newspapers still reporting about me? Didn't you make any progress?"
"There aren't many left. They're all tabloids. Those with a little scale are all reporting on the change of governor!”
"Ha, it seems that I have to thank the Governor for saving me from danger. Do you think we should celebrate?”
"What's there to celebrate? Everyone's busy. You're the only one who has the time to go out and hook up with female celebrities. Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about?”
"I... go. Who did you hear that from?"
"When I came here this morning, I heard it from outside the door. Hmph!”
Joly thought about it and agreed. Usually, Xu Hui would come as soon as he arrived in the morning. Today, he found it strange that Xu Hui did not come over until he went out in the morning.
"That's a bit of a misunderstanding. This, sigh, I can't explain it clearly in a few words.”
"What's the use of explaining to me? I came here with Sister Li Dan.”
Joly suddenly realized that he had unknowingly owed a lot of favors. Although he and Li Dan were innocent, others didn't think so. Or rather, in the television station and the bank, everyone treated Li Dan as the boss's wife.
Of course, Joly knew about this situation. Seeing that Li Dan didn't express any dissatisfaction, Joly naturally went with the flow. He even felt a little happy in his heart. This was a typical smouldering.
In the past, he had always thought that it was nothing, but now, he realized that it seemed a little difficult. If he went to explain, how should he explain it? She felt a little guilty if she didn't explain, but she didn't know why she felt guilty.
"Then what do you think I should do?"”
"What should we do? What should he do? Apologize, of course. Sister Li Dan is such a good person. She should forgive you once.”
"Eh! Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you. Which desk is she working at now?”
"Right next door."
Joly felt a headache coming on. He went to Li Dan's desk. Fortunately, there was no one else there. However, when he saw Li Dan, he didn't know what to say. After all, the two of them didn't have any real relationship.
After holding it in for a long time, he finally said,"Eh! You! Are you alright?"
"What do you think?" Li Dan appeared very calm. Just by looking at her expression, one could tell who was better.
Since he had already spoken, Jolly was willing to go all out." Well, there was an accident last night and I couldn't hold it in. I didn't expect it to end up like that. It's just that I've already done it, so I have to admit it.”
"Why are you telling me this? I'm not related to you, so I don't have the right to interfere in your stupid matter, right?”
"Sigh! " I don't know. I feel like I should explain it to you. I don't know when it started, but I've already treated you as family. I thought that we would slowly get together and then get married and have children. Everything would be smooth sailing. I just didn't expect such a thing to happen now.”
"From what you're saying, if this didn't happen, I would be yours? Are you so sure?"
"At the very least, we can be considered friends in need. You also know my character. I've always been very dutiful and haven't done anything out of line. Uh... Well, this time doesn't count."
Li Dan knew Joly's character very well. After all, they had worked together in the bank for a few years, and he had been very capable in a series of things after that. At least, he didn't have to worry about going hungry with Joly, and he was very generous in dealing with people.
After being with Jolly for so long, of course, she knew that the two of them had feelings for each other. If nothing unexpected happened, it would really be like what Jolly had said. They would slowly get together, get married, have children, and live like this for the rest of their lives.
It was just that today's incident made her a little unhappy, which was also true, so she still asked unhappily,"Then what about you and Mi Rong? Cut off contact, or?"
" Sigh, it's a long story. After I got home yesterday," Joly told him everything that happened yesterday, although he had made up a little bit of a disguise.
After saying that, he saw Li Dan's disdainful gaze and helplessly explained,"What kind of look is that? I'm a normal man, okay? It's inevitable."
"You're really manly. How old is Jiaxin? Besides, what are you going to do on the streets after that? Do you want to go to a nightclub? A man's paradise?"
"Go! I've never been there before, so I don't even know where the door is!”
"Do you really think so? You're really something!"
"Sigh! This was not the main point, alright? That was what happened after that, so our relationship is very awkward now. I don't know how to deal with it, and she didn't say anything.”
"What's the big deal? Since she wants to jump ship, just take it as interest. Although we didn't make her famous, we've treated her well enough. Since she doesn't know how to be grateful, then there's no need to be so polite.”
This was also a form of disrespect towards celebrities in this era. Very few people cared about the feelings of celebrities. Most people treated those people as actors who pleased the public. The so-called celebrities were just people who were made fun of by everyone.
The artistes themselves knew this very well, so they felt a little wronged. Regardless of whether they were willing or not, they had to suffer. However, with the development and progress of the times, there was a change in their mindset. Artists also began to have social status, and this concept was broken.
Joly didn't say much about Li Dan's thoughts. After all, the current environment was like this. However, since they had an affair, he still had to explain."It's not that bad. After all, I took the initiative in this matter. Otherwise, why would I be so conflicted?”
"Tsk, so what? Sooner or later, it'll be easy for you men!”
"Then tell me, who did you give it to?”
"Get lost, you." Jolly had wanted to joke around, but he was so angry that he would have rushed up if they weren't separated by a table.
Looking at Li Dan's threatening appearance, Joly couldn't help but continue,"What is this? I'm just asking. Why don't you let me have it easy? We're not outsiders anyway.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Dan getting angry. She picked up the documents on the table and threw them at Joly. Joly had no choice but to run away. Li Dan shouted as she smashed the documents,"You want to take advantage of this great aunt? You really don't want to live long.”
After throwing away a few files, Li Dan saw that Jolly had already hidden at the door and was about to open the door and leave. She said angrily,"Go ask your little secretary for a discount!”
This was awkward. As soon as Joly opened the door, he saw Xu Hui standing at the door. He didn't know if she was eavesdropping or just happened to come over for something, but she must have heard what Li Dan said just now.
For the first time, Joly felt that he was very wise. He grabbed Xu Hui and pulled her into the house. Then, he ran out and closed the door behind him. He would rather die than die. He would let the two of them feel awkward while he slipped away first.
At this moment, Li Dan was also at a loss. She was still holding something in her hand and looked like she was about to throw it out. It was as if she was frozen in place. Xu Hui was the same. It was too awkward to eavesdrop at the door.
Li Dan was the first to react. She put down the folder in her hand and said,"How could you be so careless? You were caught eavesdropping?" This was obviously a negotiation strategy. First, he would talk about the other party's shortcomings.
Of course, Xu Hui did not fall for it. She did not answer this question and instead asked a little naively,"Sis, what did you ask President Qiao to give me?”
In the first round, they were evenly matched. Li Dan immediately said,"You heard it, didn't you? Hehe, tell me, if your President Qiao wants to take advantage of you, will you? Or is it for occupation!"
"Sis, you're spouting nonsense. Why would President Qiao take advantage of me? I won't take advantage of you."
In the second round, both sides suffered heavy losses and died together. Perhaps heroes cherished heroes, but before the third round even began, the two of them actually shook hands and made up.
Of course, Joly didn't know about the confrontation here. After escaping back to his office, Joly heaved a sigh of relief. He had already said what he shouldn't have said. From the looks of it, Li Dan should be fine.
As long as the family did not cause trouble, there was nothing that could not be overcome. Although the television station still had so many messy things to do, overall, he had passed this hurdle.
Jolly was indeed surprised that the two news agencies chose to apologize. He had thought that they would only show their goodwill after the lawsuit was over. He did not expect them to be done so quickly.
As for those so-called witnesses who slandered him, Joly really didn't care too much. They were all small figures, and their words were not important. If there was no one behind it, it wouldn't have become like this. However, he knew who was behind it, so he could only vent his anger on these people for the time being.
Perhaps this was the sorrow of a small character. Their fate was not in their own hands, but who could they blame? They knew that they were nothing, but they still had to get involved in this matter. If Joly was really done for, it didn't matter. The key was that he wasn't. Then they could only admit that they were unlucky.
