Chapter 336: Isn’t This Absurd?

“What will the future be like?”

When Shen Fei heard this, his mind instantly recalled the technological developments over the next twenty years from his previous life.

“Hmm! You always say that technology will develop faster in the future, so I’m a bit curious!” Han Xinyan said softly.

As Shen Fei thought about the social development from his past life, a smile appeared on his face—one that even Han Xinyan couldn’t understand.

“Ah, you want to know? Then let me tell you how the future will look…”

“Let’s take the most commonly used smartphones as an example. In the future, their functions will be even more powerful. You’ll only need that one phone when you go out, and it will solve most of your problems! With the support of chips, you won’t need any behind-the-scenes assistance. You’ll be able to launch things directly, and the phone will even adjust the size automatically! It will be available whenever you need it, unrestricted by space, time, or frequency!”

“It will also provide an interactive experience for users! For example, immersive gaming or watching shows currently require a medium like VR glasses or connecting to a TV! But in the future, you won’t need all that. You’ll only need to implant a chip into the glasses you wear, and instantly, you’ll have an immersive viewing experience!”

“The development of chips will also help the gaming industry grow. Just like immersive drama watching, players will experience games as if they’re really in them—the only difference is that players will have to distinguish between the real world and the virtual world!”

“In other areas, the new electric vehicles you wanted to buy—the future electric car industry will flourish, with many companies competing! Autonomous driving will be a product of that era. Although it’s self-driving, if the car encounters a malfunction, it will find a safe place to perform maintenance and repairs, preventing bigger traffic accidents and ensuring passengers’ safety.”

“Now, let’s talk about healthcare! Doctors will be able to conduct remote consultations. With chip technology, they will be able to better diagnose the damage inside a patient’s body, allowing for early disease prevention! With chip-powered medical technology, a single drop of blood or a strand of hair will quickly reveal a patient’s health status, helping more people understand their bodies and reducing the occurrence of medical disputes!”

“Chip technology will also produce various robots, which will meet people’s needs but won’t have human emotions or physical form. They will become necessities in households, making life a little easier!”

“All of this is aimed at making people’s lives more convenient. Even education will become more high-tech. Daily needs like food, housing, and transportation will be guaranteed, and even the most difficult medical challenges will be overcome…”

“The future will be…”

Shen Fei got lost in his memories, speaking with great emotion.

However, before he could continue, Han Xinyan interrupted him directly.

“Wait, hold on!”

“Huh? What’s wrong?” Shen Fei was confused by the sudden interruption.

“I understand that you’re excited about entering the tech field and have great hopes for technology, but all of this should depend on the specific situation, right? Even if what you said might be possible in the future, it’s at least a hundred years away, isn’t it?”

Clearly, Han Xinyan didn’t believe what Shen Fei had just described.

“It won’t take a hundred years. It’ll happen within twenty years!” Shen Fei said confidently.

“No, how is that possible? Fine, just keep these thoughts to yourself! If you tell other people, they’ll definitely think you belong in a mental hospital!” Han Xinyan laughed.

However, Shen Fei remained serious.

“Ah Yan, if fifty years ago, someone told you that in the future, there would be large-screen phones, local area networks, and that you could pay for everything just by using a phone, would you have believed them? If fifty years ago, someone told you that there would be a maglev high-speed train from Shenzhen to Beijing, and you could reach it in just three or four hours, would you have believed them? And the logistics, shopping, and so on! All of these things that sounded impossible decades ago are now a reality! That shows that what I’m saying will also come true! Moreover, we now have photolithography technology!”

After hearing Shen Fei’s words, Han Xinyan was stunned.

If she had been told the things Shen Fei just mentioned fifty years ago, she would have called the person insane!

But now, all those ideas had become reality.

Still, it was hard for her to believe.

“I know, but those things took fifty years to develop. You’re saying that your vision of the future will become a reality in just twenty years. Isn’t that ridiculous?”

“Ridiculous? Not at all! Ah Yan, look how fast our society is developing! Especially in the internet age, where information spreads quickly, and technology is universally applicable! All things that once seemed impossible have turned into possibilities, so there’s nothing absurd about it! As long as photolithography technology is developed, chip technology won’t be far behind! Once that happens, everything I’ve said will quickly become reality!” Shen Fei said loudly.

“Isn’t that why you’re so eager to enter the tech field? To build the kind of tech society you imagine?” Han Xinyan asked coldly.

“Hmm, or maybe not!”

Shen Fei smiled and continued,

“Society’s progress isn’t something we can control! But when it comes to technology, if we have the opportunity, we can’t let it slip! Moreover, the old Party Secretary handed us the microphone, and how could we miss the chance to showcase ourselves? This tech society, everyone’s pushing it forward, so why can’t it be us? Don’t you think so?”

Before Han Xinyan could respond, Shen Fei spoke seriously again,

“If we really manage to build a tech empire with us at the helm, then I, Shen Fei, won’t have lived in vain!”

Han Xinyan, of course, couldn’t fully understand Shen Fei’s expectations for the future.

But she knew Shen Fei wasn’t one to speak recklessly, so she didn’t press the matter further.

She just smiled slightly and complimented him,

“Alright, if you really can achieve that, then your name, Shen Fei, will be remembered in history!”

Somehow, even though she didn’t believe Shen Fei’s words, she felt a sense of hope for the future.

Just then, the door to the closed CEO office was gently knocked on.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 337: The Future Public Relations Director!

“Come in!”

The conversation was interrupted.

Han Xinyan immediately straightened up and said.

Responding to the call, Xu Nana, who had been working as the secretary for the past few days, skillfully opened the door.

“Mr. Shen, Ms. Han!” Xu Nana greeted respectfully.

“Nana, what’s the matter?” Han Xinyan asked.

“Well, Ms. Han, Miss Lin Tianzhen, whom you scheduled an appointment with, has arrived. She’s in the conference room now. Do you want to go now, or should we wait a bit?” Xu Nana inquired.

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei was immediately stunned.

Because he was more than familiar with that name.

Lin Tianzhen!

The Director of Public Relations at Xin Yue Group in his past life!

And there was another layer to her identity—she was also Tang Xingwen’s wife!

He had thought it would be a while before this person showed up, but now, she was directly coming to the company for an interview?

If his memory served him right, Lin Tianzhen didn’t appear until two years after the launch of the scar cream brand.

That year, the scar cream brand fell into various crises.

At the time, Shen Fei and Tang Xingwen were in a difficult position, but Lin Tianzhen, a well-known public relations expert, was set up and framed by her own colleagues at the company.

Disgusted by the behavior of people at her previous company, Lin Tianzhen chose to resign.

Afterward, when she came to Xin Yue Group to apply for a job, she directly made an unbelievable request to Meng Fan.

She demanded that she be given full control of the Public Relations Department, and that neither Shen Fei nor Tang Xingwen could interfere with her decisions!

As a condition for her employment, she promised to resolve the scar cream brand’s PR crisis within five days and completely turn around its public image.

At the time, having been through so much, Shen Fei wasn’t offended by her boldness. In fact, he was quite amazed by her confidence. Before the interview even ended, he directly agreed to Lin Tianzhen’s terms.

That was the turning point.

From then on, the brand position of Xin Yue Group soared.

And ten years later, Xin Yue Group became a benchmark within the industry!

When people praised Xin Yue Group’s achievements, they also eagerly discussed Lin Tianzhen, the head of its Public Relations Department.

Anyone who mentioned Xin Yue Group would inevitably talk about Lin Tianzhen and her numerous contributions.

Even Shen Fei had to admire Lin Tianzhen’s abilities in marketing, brand planning, promotion, and handling PR crises.

Afterward, many major companies made offers to Lin Tianzhen to switch jobs, but she didn’t pay them any attention. After joining Xin Yue Group, she quickly rose to an important managerial position within the company.

In the following decade or two, Xin Yue Group continued to grow rapidly!

There was no sign of the strange expression that fleetingly crossed Shen Fei’s face.

Hearing Xu Nana’s report, Han Xinyan suddenly remembered that she had invited Lin Tianzhen for an interview.

“Let’s wait. After three minutes, bring her to the office!”

Han Xinyan said loudly.

“Alright! I’ll go inform Miss Lin!”

Xu Nana replied, then exited.

Once the door closed behind her, Han Xinyan didn’t wait for Shen Fei’s confusion.

“Shen Fei, don’t you want to ask what Lin Tianzhen’s background is?”

“Huh? Then tell me, what’s her background?”

Hearing Han Xinyan, Shen Fei smiled helplessly.

“She’s the ‘Queen of Clapbacks’ who’s been active on Weibo’s trending topics for years! But these titles were all given to her by netizens! The reason they called her that is because she’s commented on how many companies, both domestic and international, handled their brand crises—always with sharp, fierce words! And of course, not everyone listens to her suggestions.”

Han Xinyan paused for a moment and continued.

“However, when I compared her solutions to others’ methods, I have to admit that Lin Tianzhen’s approaches are usually better! And since our company doesn’t have a PR department yet, I thought maybe we could recruit her!”

“At first, I asked her, but she only replied three days later, saying that if she wasn’t offered the position of PR department head, she didn’t want to waste anyone’s time! Can you believe that?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei chuckled.

That certainly sounded like Lin Tianzhen’s style.

“So, do you think she’s impressive?”

“Of course! But whether she’s impressive or not isn’t up to me. If she can help our company grow and gain recognition, then that’s true talent!”

Han Xinyan said with great admiration, then looked at Shen Fei.

“I think you don’t have much to do right now, so you should come with me to meet Lin Tianzhen. Also, we can discuss our current brand issues with her. In the end, whether we hire her or not, it’s still up to you!”

“Fine, since you put it that way, it’d be rude if I didn’t go!” Shen Fei smiled.

This naturally earned Han Xinyan a roll of the eyes.

Three minutes later.

The office door was knocked again.

Han Xinyan adjusted her attire before saying, “Come in.”

Xu Nana pushed the door open, followed by a woman with short hair, dressed in a very professional manner.

This woman appeared to be around thirty years old.

While her appearance wasn’t particularly striking, her proud demeanor made it impossible to forget her.

Even though she was meeting Shen Fei and Han Xinyan, Lin Tianzhen didn’t show any flattery or ingratiating behavior.

But Shen Fei understood—this was Lin Tianzhen’s attitude!

Otherwise, the Lin Tianzhen from his past life wouldn’t have been so successful.

This was also what made Lin Tianzhen and Tang Xingwen’s bond so special.

Both indifferent to fame and fortune, and unconcerned about money, that’s why they were so well-matched.

“Mr. Shen, Ms. Han, I’ve brought her!”

Xu Nana said sweetly before leaving again, closing the door behind her.

“Mr. Shen, Ms. Han!”

Lin Tianzhen greeted them with a composed, neither humble nor arrogant attitude.

“Miss Lin Tianzhen! Please, take a seat!”

Shen Fei wasn’t offended by her behavior; instead, he smiled and welcomed her.

Upon hearing that, Lin Tianzhen walked straight to an available seat and sat down.

“Miss Lin, you came for an interview in formal attire. Was it because you were working at another company today, and you came to us on a whim?” Shen Fei asked.

“Yes, Mr. Shen, I was the Vice President of a certain company. Just half an hour ago, I resigned from that company. When I saw Ms. Han’s message, I replied and came over quickly! I didn’t have time to change my clothes!” Lin Tianzhen replied candidly.

“May I ask why you resigned?” Shen Fei asked.

“Of course! The people below me in that company are all a bunch of good-for-nothings! Arrogant and self-important! A simple PR crisis that could’ve been solved in two minutes, but they blew it out of proportion and then tried to pin the blame on me. I didn’t want to deal with that, so I resigned!” Lin Tianzhen said calmly.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 338: Playing a Good Hand into a Complete Mess!

Lin Tianzhen’s words left Shen Fei momentarily stunned, but he soon smiled faintly.

This was indeed the Lin Tianzhen he knew.

To Han Xinyan, however, while this person might have some real abilities, she seemed overly arrogant! But considering Lin Tianzhen’s past antics on the headlines, Han Xinyan could somewhat understand.

Without giving Han Xinyan and Shen Fei a chance to speak, Lin Tianzhen continued loudly,

“As for why those useless fools acted that way, I know exactly why! They were jealous of me and wanted to force me out on purpose. That way, they could pin small mishaps on me once they escalated. Hah! A group of useless idiots! Since that’s what they want, I’ll grant their wish! I can’t stay at that company anyway.”

“President Shen, President Han, that’s why I resigned! I could have kept this to myself, but since I’m here for an interview, I’ll be honest with you. So, let’s move on and discuss your company instead!”

Her calm but confident demeanor showed no trace of the humility typical of job applicants.

Han Xinyan was taken aback by her direct attitude.

“Miss Lin, with such bluntness, most companies wouldn’t even let you sit here for an interview!” Shen Fei chuckled.

“If that’s the case, then I wouldn’t go to that company anyway! In my opinion, attitude reflects capability. If my abilities are strong, a bit of arrogance doesn’t hurt,” Lin Tianzhen said playfully.

“Perhaps, but is that the attitude a job seeker should have?” Shen Fei pressed on.

“Apologies, President Shen! Before officially joining your company, I consider myself on equal footing with you. Of course, if I do join, I’m not the kind of person who’ll flatter and pander to my superiors,” Lin Tianzhen said frankly.

“Alright, let’s leave that aside for now,” Han Xinyan interjected, sensing the discussion was going off-topic.

“Miss Lin, I’d like to hear your views on our company.”

“President Han, you’ve invited me here to interview for the Public Relations Director role, correct? If so, I’ll speak from a PR perspective,” Lin Tianzhen responded.

“Sure! Speak freely,” Shen Fei said with interest.

“Alright.”

Lin Tianzhen paused, took a deep breath, and said directly,

“In my opinion, your company has completely botched what should have been a winning strategy! Especially regarding the marketing of the scar-healing ointment—you’ve taken it to a whole new level of failure! However, I won’t judge too harshly because it seems production couldn’t keep up with demand.”

Hearing this, Han Xinyan’s face darkened slightly.

The implication was clear: everything they’d done for the scar ointment so far had been for nothing.

In contrast, Shen Fei remained calm.

“Oh? Miss Lin, please elaborate,” he said.

“Alright, I’ll be straightforward,” Lin Tianzhen continued.

“Firstly, your product positioning is completely off the mark! The scar-healing ointment has a unique, unparalleled effect worldwide. With such a powerful product, you priced it at under 500 yuan! Isn’t that just devaluing your own brand? I’m guessing you initially aimed to use this product to break into the market for your Yuexin product series since your company was new and had no established market presence.”

“But this approach reveals a lack of understanding of your brand positioning! If you had priced it at 1589 yuan, while some online ridicule would’ve been unavoidable, the ‘money-back guarantee’ would have still sparked curiosity. Combined with live-stream selling, many consumers would’ve eagerly bought it to test its efficacy.”

“Yet you priced it under 500 yuan! To me, that’s utterly disappointing. Although the product is selling exceptionally well now, this strategy will hurt you in the long run! Think about it—if such a groundbreaking product is priced so low, what about future products?

“You’re dragging your brand’s positioning toward the mid-to-low range! Unless you launch something even more revolutionary than the scar ointment in the future, you’ll only face consumer ridicule. Your brand value will steadily decline.”

“Therefore, do you still think your company’s PR and marketing are well-executed? You’re essentially pulling yourselves down!”

Lin Tianzhen spoke at length.

Yet Shen Fei simply listened quietly without defending himself.

In his previous life, Shen Fei had elevated Xinyue Group to great heights, not only with the help of Tang Xingwen and Lin Tianzhen but also through his own capabilities.

After Lin Tianzhen’s critique, he smiled faintly and said calmly,

“Alright, continue. Product marketing is trash—what else?”

Shen Fei’s calm demeanor surprised Lin Tianzhen, earning her silent respect.

Few bosses could remain so unbothered in the face of such blunt criticism.

“As for other issues, let’s talk about President Shen’s scandal. No matter what happens, the person involved should never personally address the public! As the saying goes, ‘The internet has no memory.’ Even without your intervention, the controversy would’ve died down over time as interest waned.”

“Of course, that’s the most basic approach. This scandal revolved mainly around domestic violence, while the drinking and gambling aspects were secondary. You could’ve had trusted associates clarify the facts and hired online influencers to redirect public opinion. Shift the narrative from ‘President Shen committed domestic violence’ to ‘President Shen has reformed.’ In this way, your image would’ve gradually improved instead of being repeatedly attacked.”

“However, both of you chose to address the public yourselves! President Han, I understand you wanted to defend President Shen, but your statement triggered backlash from feminist groups. As for President Shen, your apology, though praised by some, was still criticized by many.”

“This ineffective PR response only exacerbated the controversy! Fortunately, the scar ointment’s exceptional performance saved you. Otherwise, this scandal would’ve given competitors the perfect opportunity to strike. Even if your company survived, it would’ve taken a significant hit.”

—————- END —————-

Chapter 339: A Newfound Respect!

Faced with Lin Tianzhen’s unreserved and blunt remarks, Han Xinyan felt a momentary unease.

However, she wholeheartedly agreed with Lin Tianzhen’s analysis. Compared to their impulsive decision to personally address the crisis, Lin Tianzhen’s proposed PR strategy was far superior.

It was clear that Lin Tianzhen truly had her own methods when it came to public relations.

Shen Fei remained calm, quietly listening to everything Lin Tianzhen said.

In truth, he could have provided a reasonable explanation for their actions at the time, as well as the rationale behind their decisions.

But Shen Fei chose not to say anything. Having been reborn, he had his own considerations.

Today’s meeting with Lin Tianzhen was simply to recruit her into the company. There was no need to explain further or risk creating unnecessary tension.

Of course, given Lin Tianzhen’s personality, she wouldn’t take such things to heart.

“Miss Lin, how long did it take you to come up with this response when the incident happened?” Shen Fei asked, even though he already knew her capabilities.

Hearing this, Lin Tianzhen immediately frowned in dissatisfaction.

“President Shen, by asking that, you’re clearly doubting my abilities!”

Before Shen Fei could reply, she continued,

“In crisis management, time is of the essence! The moment an incident occurs, you must come up with a response immediately. That’s the only way to maintain control of the situation! If you’re too slow, then you’re not a qualified PR professional.”

“So, when you first learned about the scar ointment scandal, you immediately thought of this approach?” Han Xinyan asked in surprise.

“Of course! That’s the basic skill a PR professional must have! But at the time, I wanted to see how President Shen and President Han would handle the crisis, so I didn’t intervene. Obviously, I wasn’t satisfied with the way you both managed it. But it’s understandable—back then, the company was newly established and didn’t have a proper PR department. If it had, I wouldn’t have had this opportunity, right?” Lin Tianzhen said with a smile.

“No wonder you’re called the ‘strongest mouthpiece champion.’ You really do have the skills to back it up!” Shen Fei praised her generously.

“President Shen, I was so blunt earlier, and you’re not offended at all?” Lin Tianzhen asked incredulously.

After all, if she had said such things to any other boss, they would likely have thrown her out immediately.

But Shen Fei, a billionaire, had calmly accepted everything she said without a hint of offense.

For the first time, Lin Tianzhen looked at Shen Fei with a hint of curiosity and respect.

After all, the rumors online painted Shen Fei as nothing more than a nouveau riche.

But the composure and demeanor Shen Fei displayed today were far from that of an uncultured businessman.

This made her genuinely see him in a new light!

“Offended? Why would I be? If my ego were that fragile, I would’ve thrown you out the moment you opened your mouth!” Shen Fei chuckled.

“I understand now! That’s why I’m so surprised,” Lin Tianzhen admitted honestly.

Despite her assertiveness and blunt words earlier, she had prepared herself for the possibility of being kicked out the moment she entered the office.

She had the confidence in her abilities, so there was no need to humble herself for a job.

If it hadn’t been for her sudden resignation today and Han Xinyan’s private message inviting her, she wouldn’t have actively sought a position at Xinyue Group.

“Miss Lin, based on what you told President Han earlier, I’d like to officially invite you to be the PR Director of our company. Your annual salary will match the top industry standards! However, Xinyue Group currently doesn’t have a PR department, so you’ll need to build it from scratch. In the future, most PR decisions will be yours to make,” Shen Fei said boldly.

“The highest salary in the industry?” Lin Tianzhen looked at Shen Fei in disbelief.

“Yes. I want you to prove your abilities through results,” Shen Fei said calmly.

“President Shen, isn’t this decision too hasty? You haven’t even looked at my resume, yet you’re offering me full control of the PR department and such a high salary…” Lin Tianzhen hesitated.

Even Han Xinyan had doubts about Shen Fei’s decision.

She didn’t deny Lin Tianzhen’s talent, but handing her full control of the PR department along with such a lucrative salary seemed excessive.

After all, before today, Lin Tianzhen had only been a deputy general manager at her previous company.

“I trust myself, and I trust Miss Lin. Although I haven’t seen your resume, just from our brief interaction today, it’s clear you’re more than capable of handling this role. As for the salary, do you think you’re unworthy of it? You spoke so confidently just now—why hesitate now?” Shen Fei smiled.

“Of course, this isn’t unconditional. If you fail to make a significant impact in the PR department, the salary will be adjusted accordingly.”

“Thank you, President Shen! With words like that, I can’t refuse. Presidents Shen and Han, just wait for the company’s reputation to turn around!” Lin Tianzhen replied confidently.

“That’s more like it! Confidence with humility. Once you’re ready to join, President Han will handle your contract,” Shen Fei added.

“President Shen, just to confirm—are you really entrusting full authority of the PR department to me?” Lin Tianzhen asked again.

The salary wasn’t what she truly cared about.

What she wanted was to build a PR department from the ground up—a department she could shape into the top-ranked team in the industry.

For others, this might seem impossible.

But for Lin Tianzhen, nothing was impossible.

“Yes. I trust your professionalism. As long as it’s in the company’s best interest, I won’t interfere. Just go ahead and do your best,” Shen Fei reassured her.

“Alright! No need to think about it anymore. I’m joining Xinyue Group!”

Hearing Shen Fei’s guarantee, Lin Tianzhen finally smiled brightly for the first time since arriving.

Shen Fei nodded in satisfaction without saying more.

Seizing the moment, Han Xinyan spoke softly,

“Miss Lin… Director Lin, I want to clarify something first. Xinyue Group currently doesn’t have a PR department. You’ll need to set it up yourself. For hiring staff, do you want to use a headhunting agency or conduct open recruitment?”

“President Han, I don’t think that’s a good idea. Most candidates from headhunting agencies are either inexperienced rookies or seasoned slackers with no real skills,” Lin Tianzhen replied thoughtfully.

“So, you’re suggesting…?” Han Xinyan asked, puzzled.

“President Han, I’m quite good at poaching talent,” Lin Tianzhen said with a confident smile and a playful wink.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 340: Anything is Possible!

Ten minutes later, Lin Tianzhen left XinYue Group feeling very satisfied.

As for the recruitment contract, it wasn’t signed yet.

This was because Lin Tianzhen said she wanted to wait until she had written out her plan for the public relations department before she could settle down at XinYue Group.

In this case, Shen Fei and Han Xinyan had no choice but to go along with Lin Tianzhen’s wishes.

After Lin Tianzhen left, in the General Manager’s office…

“Shen Fei, you seemed to get along well with Lin Tianzhen just now. I didn’t want to interrupt, but giving her the highest salary in the industry for public relations might be a bit too much. Not to mention whether we can afford it, but Lin Tianzhen was just a vice president in her previous company! Although we’ll rely on her to build our public relations department in the future, that’s still something for the future. It’s quite rash to offer her such a high salary now!” Han Xinyan expressed her concerns.

“If not, how could I live up to my ‘rich guy’ title?” Shen Fei smiled slightly.

“You’re still bringing up that ‘rich guy’ title?” Han Xinyan rolled her eyes.

Shen Fei noticed her reaction, stopped smiling, and became serious.

“Ah Yan, you were the one who invited Lin Tianzhen here.”

“Yes, I invited her! But we haven’t even seen her resume, and our understanding of her is based only on what we’ve seen of her public statements on headlines… Whether it’s the high salary or giving her full control over the public relations department, both conditions are extremely valuable to any ordinary person, but you’ve given them both to her! If this leaks out, it will seem absurd!” Han Xinyan frowned.

“Ah Yan, I trust my judgment! In the company, we must trust those we hire. If we doubt them, we shouldn’t hire them at all! We don’t know much about Lin Tianzhen, but from her thoughts and actions displayed on the headlines, we can see her capabilities clearly! We’ve considered hiring someone for public relations before, but none of the candidates recommended by headhunters met our standards! Why? Because their thinking was already fixed!”

Shen Fei paused for a moment and continued, “As a public relations professional, she should indeed respond immediately to brand crises and come up with a solution quickly! I believe any capable PR professional would do that. But what I want is not the typical PR person, but someone who can turn the situation around and bring positive effects to us at the same time!”

“But how can you be sure Lin Tianzhen is the right person for our public relations department after such a short time?” Han Xinyan still didn’t understand.

Why not be sure?

Shen Fei was extremely confident!

After all, he was a reincarnate, and in his past life, Lin Tianzhen had worked with him for over ten years!

When it came to marketing and public relations, who in the country could surpass Lin Tianzhen?

In fact, both Lin Tianzhen and XinYue Group had been written into university textbooks.

Every crisis response strategy they came up with was adopted and learned from by many companies in the country.

“Isn’t Lin Tianzhen called the ‘Mouth King’ in the headlines? Every time there’s a brand crisis, she discusses it and presents her solutions. When you compare them, don’t you agree that Lin Tianzhen’s approach is the best?”

Seeing Han Xinyan nodding repeatedly, Shen Fei then became serious.

“That’s enough! Just from what Lin Tianzhen did in front of us, I don’t think there are many people in the country who would dare to be so arrogant! Attitude is part of strength. Lin Tianzhen dared to be like this, and she must have the strength to back it up! Even if I made a mistake in judging her, as bosses, we can just fire her! We’ll take the risk and gamble!”

“I understand the reasoning, but this is really against common sense! Just the salary alone—there’s never been a precedent like this in Huaguo!” Han Xinyan was truly helpless.

“Then let’s make this the precedent! What else? When Lin Tianzhen comes to sign the contract, do you want to tell her we changed our minds and offer her a lower salary?” Shen Fei chuckled bitterly.

“Fine! You’re making all the good decisions, and I’m left with all the bad ones! If this leaks out, our company’s reputation will be ruined!”

Han Xinyan was exasperated.

“Alright! Stop worrying about it so much! You need to trust my judgment! You’ll see in the future, she will truly be worth that salary and the conditions!”

Shen Fei walked up and gently embraced Han Xinyan.

Han Xinyan leaned against his chest and helplessly said, “Since you’ve said so, if I continue to argue, it’ll seem like I don’t understand.”

Not wanting to continue the discussion, Shen Fei shifted the topic.

“Do you think Lin Tianzhen and Old Tang are similar?”

“Huh?” Han Xinyan froze for a moment, then replied, “From what Lin Tianzhen said just now, their attitude toward salary is indeed the same!”

“Then, you should bring up Old Tang more often in front of Lin Tianzhen!” Shen Fei grinned mischievously.

“What do you mean by that?” Han Xinyan was confused.

“Exactly what you think! I think they might be a good match!” Shen Fei nodded slightly.

“Are you serious? I don’t think Lin Tianzhen would be interested in Old Tang! Besides, their personalities are completely different—how could there be love between them?” Han Xinyan rolled her eyes.

Unbeknownst to her, Shen Fei was quite indifferent.

In his past life, he had the same opinion.

But the final reality was that Tang Xingwen and Lin Tianzhen did end up together.

In fact, they became one of the most envied couples in the company.

As for why Lin Tianzhen liked Tang Xingwen, Shen Fei had asked her before.

The answer was surprising.

The reason Lin Tianzhen liked Tang Xingwen was because she appreciated his honesty!

“Anything is possible!” Shen Fei said lightly.

“You mean they could actually be a couple?” Han Xinyan suddenly became very curious.

“Yes, that’s what I think!” Shen Fei nodded slightly.

However, Han Xinyan shook her head.

“I don’t think so. Old Tang is too clumsy, and Lin Tianzhen is so strong-willed. They seem to complement each other in this regard!”

“I think we complement each other quite well too!” Shen Fei suddenly said out of nowhere.

After noticing the teasing smile on Shen Fei’s face, Han Xinyan shyly gave him a look.

“What are you talking about?”

After a pause, she continued, “I think you should stop worrying about it. You want to pair them up, but it all depends on fate! Now that the sunscreen issue is coming up, they’ll definitely have more opportunities to interact! If it works out, we won’t need to do anything!”

“Yeah, that’s true!” Shen Fei nodded.

“Alright, go on and relax! I need to get busy! I’ll have to talk to the legal department about the contract!” Han Xinyan waved her hand.

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei gave Han Xinyan a light kiss on the cheek and then left the general manager’s office.

However, he didn’t leave XinYue Group immediately. Instead, he went to the laboratory.

When he arrived, he saw that the lab members had been kicked out, and Tang Xingwen was fully absorbed in his work.

Shen Fei could only smile helplessly, deciding not to disturb Tang Xingwen for now.

Once Tang Xingwen got into the lab, no matter what Shen Fei said, it would just be met with perfunctory responses.
