Chapter 186: Chapter 132 The Difference Between Slaughter and Surgery_2
The reception area had a few round tables, with some employees currently in discussions with clients.
After passing the reception area was the front desk, but the young lady there didn’t pay him any mind, just focused on her nails. So Zhou Wang confidently walked into the company, feeling quite puzzled.
Hmm?
Is it really this casual?
Having never worked a real office job, Zhou Wang originally thought it would take some effort to meet Zhang Danian, even preparing a whole spiel, only to find he wouldn’t need it at all.
As he walked inside, Zhou Wang curiously observed his surroundings.
This e-commerce company was quite lively. Besides employees busy at their workstations, there were designated areas for live streaming. Zhou Wang saw at least three hosts passionately urging their viewers to join on his way in.
Moreover, some areas had set designs, like one selling durians, where the background looked like a warehouse stocked with countless durians at first glance.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to imagine he was actually streaming from an office building.
Next to the hosts were people scripting, controlling the sessions, writing down order numbers. The entire company was bustling, loud and chaotic…
This is the vibe of the times…
Zhou Wang felt a bit sentimental.
After passing through the live streaming area, Zhou found the marketing department, but there weren’t many people at the workstations.
“Could it be that everyone’s off work?”
Zhou Wang checked his Rolex watch—it wasn’t even six yet. Given Ming City’s typical work hours, it shouldn’t be!
Zhou Wang was thinking he might have come late when he suddenly heard some faint voices.
He followed the sound and arrived at a conference room towards the back.
The door was open, and inside were four or five people having a meeting. What caught Zhou Wang’s attention was the content on the LED screen.
It was a short video with text and images, and what made Zhou Wang grit his teeth was that it showed his photo.
The photo was clearly taken in the presidential suite at Wanda, from a very close angle. It showed Zhou Wang in a bathrobe, flipping through a magazine.
Zhou Wang’s shock grew. Was this photo secretly taken by a hotel employee?
But that didn’t make sense…
Neither Bella nor the other staff seemed like they would do something like that. They seemed quite professional.
Zhou Wang glanced at the employees in the conference room. They were mostly young men and women, but the middle-aged man speaking fluently at the front matched the description in the files.
If things were as expected, he was the marketing manager, Zhang Danian.
“…In short, among the current seven local accounts, ‘Ming City Watch’ will be our next focus. I’ll spend another ten thousand on promotion for this video, aiming for another viral hit… Little Ma, optimize the traffic monetization plan on your side, and get it to me before the day after tomorrow…”
Seeing that everyone’s attention was on the LED screen, Zhou Wang quietly walked in and sat down next to the guy, Little Ma, who had just responded.
Hearing a sound, Little Ma, who was taking notes, looked up instinctively at Zhou Wang, then lowered his head again.
After two seconds, Little Ma’s writing hand froze. He slowly raised his head, looked again at Zhou Wang, who was smiling at him, then turned to look at the big screen, and back at Zhou Wang…
Repeating this, Little Ma’s mouth gradually fell open in a look of disbelief.
Soon after, a girl sitting opposite also noticed Zhou Wang, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes, covering her mouth with a light gasp of “ah.”
The others soon realized something was amiss, all except for Zhang Danian, who was getting more and more enthusiastic and completely absorbed in his own world.
“Once we build up for another round, when it’s time to reveal this second generation’s identity, I’m confident we can hit a hundred thousand followers. Everyone, this is just the beginning. Our ultimate goal is to benchmark against ‘Sichuan Watch’…”
“Zhang… Zhang Bro!”
Zhang Danian was passionately waving his arms when the girl with glasses next to him couldn’t resist nudging him.
“What? You…”
Interrupted, Zhang Danian turned back somewhat displeased, and following his stunned subordinates’ gaze, finally saw Zhou Wang sitting calmly at the lower end of the table.
Zhou Wang waved at him while smiling.
Zhang Danian paused for a few seconds, blinked, and seemingly confirmed it wasn’t his own illusion before picking up the remote control and turning off the LED screen expressionlessly.
“Did he take pictures or videos?”
Zhang Danian asked the girl next to him in a low voice.
Seeing her shake her head, Zhang Danian sighed in relief, then smiled at Zhou Wang. “Sir, do you need anything?”
“At this point, isn’t it a bit unnecessary to keep pretending?”
Zhou Wang shook his head with a smile, “Zhang Danian, you should know very well who I am and why I’m here. Tell me, what’s going on with all this, and where did you get all those photos and videos of mine.”
“Uh, sorry, I don’t quite understand what you’re talking about. All the videos from the accounts we operate are materials collected online.”
Facing the suddenly appeared person in question, the other employees didn’t dare to breathe loudly. Yet Zhang Danian remained calm and composed:
“If you think any of our videos have invaded your privacy, please point it out, and we’ll consider making adjustments…”
Zhou Wang chuckled, “Adjust my ass.”
“You… What did you say?”
“I said, adjust my ass.”
