Win Your Heart

Chapter 35 The Launch Event

Sophia slowly opened the door and walked into the meeting room, which made Sophia depressed atmosphere in the meeting room slightly frown.

She looked at Victor uneasily, "sorry, Mr. Victor, I'm late."

Sophia was confusing. Victor could have woken her up when he got up last night from the sofa! Then she wouldn't be so embarrassed to be late.

There was a hint of displeasure in Victor's deep eyes. But he didn't throw a tantrum to Sophia. After staring at her for two seconds, he said indifferently, "go back to your seat."

Sophia bent slightly to the crowd and walked quickly to her position with the document in her arms.

Victor didn't blame Sophia, so others all lowered their heads. The whole conference room was filled with an air of strangeness.

"The new product has just been on the market. Is it true that someone is behind the scenes? Have you made an investigation? " After a short moment of silence, the domineering voice of Victor echoed in the meeting room.

All of them lowered their heads and remained silent. They didn't want to irritate Victor.

Sophia's heart jolted when she heard this. Did he mean that the new product signed by Rita had an accident? But yesterday she said that the new skin care products signed up by Rita were very popular in the market and had a good reputation. How could something go wrong in a short time?

Sophia was confused. Then Leon said, "since the news came out suddenly, we have arranged people to investigate it. But it inevitably has a bad impact on this new product. I suggest we abruptly stop the production of all the related products, so as to minimize the loss!"

"I'm afraid that you can't do that. The profit of the new products is quite large. If the new products are not available for sale because of some certain reason, it will be a great loss."

The silent meeting room got noisy due to Leon's words. All kinds of discussions filled the room.

Sophia understood the situation now.

The new product that Rita had recommended was very popular to the media, but it had been exposed that this new product had serious allergic reactions. After all, everyone's skin condition was different, but this woman who had serious allergic reactions after using the new product from the YS Group had exaggerated it to the public and even exposed it to the media. This is the latest product of the YS Group.

Sophia looked at Victor worried, who, as always, looked at the crowd with cold eyes. Then, he whispered to everyone, "the public relations department is in charge of this matter. Once you find the challenger, you must make her change her mind in any way. And, the new product is not taken on the shelf for the time being."

"But..." Sophia was so anxious that she couldn't help saying. But when she just spoke out the two words, she was stopped by the cold eyes of Victor.

"Who has any other opinion?" His dignified eyes swept across the crowd, and Victor was as intimidating as an emperor. People would tremble with fear when they saw his eyes.

Someone echoed, "it's up to you."

Sophia pursed her lips. She was just an assistant. It was not her turn to make comments on such occasions. And Victor couldn't listen to her.

She thought for a while and decided to let it go.

The rest, however, had nothing to say. They all agreed with Victor's plan and toughed him up. But the cold expression on Victor's face didn't seem to have been softened.

At last, the hypocritical words from the company were getting more and more offensive to Victor, which made him look more and more gloomy. Finally, he looked at Sophia. He looked at her and said in a low but solemn voice, "the meeting is over."

The others all left the meeting room, but almost everyone else had already left. But Victor didn't seem to want to leave. He looked at Sophia, as if he had something to say to her. Sophia sat on her seat and waited for Victor to speak.

He didn't open his mouth until the others were out of sight. To Sophia's surprise, Victor asked, "did you sleep well?"

Hearing this, an embarrassed expression flashed across Sophia's pale face. "Did you intentionally not call me Mr. Victor?"

Victor raised his eyebrows and looked at Sophia up and down. "Put aside your work. Sort out today's meeting files first," he ordered.

So Sophia tried to calm down and said, "okay."

…… After the meeting, a commotion was heard among the employees in the YS Group. Whoever had been in the entertainment industry for a long time and could easily guess that this exposure incident was not simple.

Yet, when the brand-name of the new products was uncovered and the market was in a good condition, a piece of news was exposed all of a sudden. Besides, the public relations of the YS Group didn't work well. That meant the people behind the scheme was the competitors of the company. Once the brand-

new products was broken up, they would be competitors of the same company. It was a great loss to the YS Group.

Of course, Victor knew that, too. That was why he got so angry at the meeting and asked people to investigate it directly.

Before Sophia got back to her office, a female colleague dragged her to the tea room to have a chat.

"I told you not to go, but you didn't listen. Did Mr. Victor get angry?" The female colleague who pulled Sophia was actually Lily Zhang. Lily Zhang had been persuading her not to attend the meeting.

The woman's words made Sophia feel a little helpless. Everyone wanted to gossip, but she didn't like anyone who liked to gossip with her. So she said in a distant tone, "it's normal for us to be criticized by the leaders if we are employees. The leaders will pay us, so we can afford our own salary."

Although Sophia knew it was annoying to say this, she couldn't help saying it out.

As she expected, Lily Zhang's face darkened at her words. Lily Zhang pouted and looked at Sophia from head to toe as if she was looking at a monster. "Don't misunderstand me? I am your senior and I am kind enough to remind you that you don't want to thank me. But you still talk to me in such an attitude. Is it because of your unclear relationship with Mr. Victor? "

Each of Lily Zhang's words was so hurtful that it stabbed right into Sophia's heart.

In the past, Jenny had told Stellar that she had been relying on Jian family. But now, she had divorced from Jian family, and was rumored to have a grudge against her for the sake of Victor. However, no one knew whether it was Jian family or Victor that she didn't want to have relationship with!

"Thank you for your kind warning. By the way, I'd like to remind you that the YS Group may not be suitable for you, and the entertainment eight diagram is more suitable for you. You can make up lies

seriously there!"

Staring at Lily Zhang, Lily Zhang felt uncomfortable by Sophia's look on her face. But then Lily Zhang realized that it was just a woman whom Victor used to play with. It was said that Victor loved men, wasn't he? Lily Zhang had heard about Sophia in the photo studio. Sophia was nothing more than a plaything to Victor. Last time, Sophia had a conflict with Rita. Since Victor had protected Rita in public, Victor didn't think Sophia was special to him! Otherwise, Victor would not just arrange Sophia to be his assistant. What was so horrible about Sophia!

As Lily Zhang thought of this, she couldn't help taunting, "I didn't expect you to be so quiet and eloquent. It's just because of your eloquence that you got in Mr. Victor's bed, right?"

Sophia's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she put on a cold look on Lily Zhang's face. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Did Lily Zhang do this on purpose to make things difficult for her! Both Lily Zhang was mocking her and Victor's relationship. Did Lily Zhang have a thing for Victor?

At the same time, the other employees who had already got a piece of good news gathered around to make a fuss. They whispered in others' ears. They not only belittled Sophia, but also made a boast of Lily Zhang. This brought a burst of joy to Lily Zhang, and Lily Zhang then took a challenging look at Sophia with shyness to provocation.

"If you really want to know, why don't you ask Mr. Victor yourself and see how he will answer you?" Sophia glanced at her colleagues and was about to walk to her office.

All of a sudden, Lily Zhang reached out and grabbed the Sophia's arm. Sophia was so unexpected that she almost lost her balance and fell to the ground.

"What do you want?" Sophia asked coldly.

Hearing this, Lily Zhang shrugged her shoulders with a hint of anger in her eyes. She was a person of great esteem. Sophia's words just now embarrassed her in front of other colleagues, so she wouldn't let Sophia go easily!

"I want you to apologize to me!" Trying to suppress the anxiety in her heart, Lily Zhang pretended to be composed and looked at Sophia. Sophia was shocked by this easily bullied woman!

"You think too much. I won't apologize!" Rubbing her aching arm, Sophia continued, "and why should I apologize to you?"

"Oh, my! We work in the same company. You don't have to do that." When Sophia's words were finished, the surrounding colleagues finally said something.

One of them said.

"I agree with you. But Sophia have just came to our company not long ago. Although Mr. Victor likes you, you don't look like those impolite people who don't respect the seniors. I think Lily Zhang is kind- hearted. You don't have to be so mean to her, do you?"

"That's right!"

Even though Lily Zhang was extremely offended, the other employees around her were equally unpleasant. Obviously, they stood on the side of Lily Zhang and spoke for Lily Zhang.

Sophia frowned and had a feeling of unease. She was thinking about how to reply to them when a man's voice came from behind her, "Sophia, do you get the materials for the meeting I asked you to prepare?"

Sophia saw that the look on their faces changed instantly when they heard the man's voice!
