Ultimate Supreme Soldier King
Chapter 1073 1071: Company Reimburses Concert Tickets
It's not like celebrities haven't been kidnapped before.
Those celebrities, when they realized they might be killed, immediately fell to their knees begging for mercy, crying their hearts out...
Even if Lin Lu dies, she wants to die with dignity, not disgrace herself in front of her fans.
Even more so, she cannot disgrace her motherland.
That incident was more effective than any publicity stunt.
Indeed, it turned out to be true.
When it was announced that Lin Lu would hold a concert in Jiangdu City,
countless people were thrilled.
On the day of presale alone, over a hundred thousand tickets were sold for the concert!
Lin Lu is, after all, a rising star.
Although she has been extremely popular recently,
if it weren't for that kidnapping incident,
her concert tickets might have only sold one or two thousand at most.
That's the difference.
This is why so many celebrities and singers want to hype themselves up.
Even at the cost of tarnishing their own reputation.
While gaining popularity, they also reap quite a bit of infamy.
But Lin Lu is different.
She has always been scandal-free.
This time, being kidnapped, she was the victim.
Out of consolation, out of affection, people should buy her a ticket.
Moreover, the price of Lin Lu's concert tickets isn't high, the cheapest is 299, the most expensive is only 998.
Absolutely a very friendly price.
Compared to some celebrities whose ticket prices easily run into the thousands, or even tens of thousands, it's much more approachable.
So, even those who originally didn't like Lin Lu bought a ticket.
If they don't see it themselves, they can give it to a friend.
Yimena Group, President's office.
"Tang Qian, have you heard about Lin Lu's concert in Jiangdu City next week?" Lin Xi rubbed her temples.
She looked more worn out.
"Yes, I know, President Lin, I was just about to ask for leave, I'm super fond of Lin Lu, and I want to see her concert..." Tang Qian said a bit embarrassedly.
After all, she knows the company has been going through turbulent times recently.
She should actually stay in the company to help Lin Xi deal with problems.
But she really likes Lin Lu too much.
It's hard for Lin Lu to hold a concert in Jiangdu City.
If she misses this opportunity, she doesn't know when she'll get another chance.
In any case, staying in the company doesn't really make much difference.
After all, there are some matters even Lin Xi can't handle, what can she, as a president's secretary, do?
Originally, Tang Qian thought Lin Xi would be unhappy knowing she wanted to ask for leave to see Lin Lu's concert.
But unexpectedly, Lin Xi didn't show any displeasure.
Instead, she said, "Well then, how many people in the company do you think like Lin Lu?"
"Probably a lot? At least eighty percent, I see they're all preparing to buy tickets, but they're afraid you won't give them leave..." Tang Qian stuck out her tongue.
A couple of people asking for leave isn't a problem.
But if many people ask for leave at the same time, Lin Xi definitely won't approve it.
Lin Xi paused and said, "You go and find out how many want to see Lin Lu's concert. This time, not only will I approve your leave, but also reimburse your expenses."
Hearing Lin Xi's words, Tang Qian almost thought she misheard, "President Lin, what did you say?"
"I said that for those going to the concert this time, the company will pay, and it's a whole day off on the day of the concert."
"Oh my god, President Lin, did I hear wrong?" Tang Qian was so excited she couldn't contain herself.
She never expected Lin Xi would make such a decision.
She wasn't so much concerned about the ticket expense.
The main thing is, several friends in the company wanted to ask her for leave lately, and she was worried about how to respond.
Now with Lin Xi proactively giving leave and covering everyone's tickets, it's absolutely great news.
"Then, President Lin, I'll go and find out." Tang Qian said happily.
"Wait." But Lin Xi called her back.
Tang Qian immediately looked worried, "President Lin, are you having second thoughts?"
"Of course not, I want to ask you, what do you think about Lin Lu wearing our company's designed costumes for her performance this time?" Lin Xi asked.
Hearing Lin Xi's words, Tang Qian instantly understood.
Why Lin Xi made such a decision.
Yimena Group has over a thousand employees.
Not all of them might like Lin Lu.
But with company reimbursement,
I believe no one would miss out.
Which means,
Yimena at least has to buy a thousand tickets.
That's definitely huge support for Lin Lu.
Previously she wondered why Lin Xi would give employees leave at such a critical time to let everyone see Lin Lu's concert.
Turns out she wants Lin Lu to wear the performance costumes designed by Yimena.
Tang Qian's expression became slightly awkward.
If Lin Lu could wear Yimena's designs for her performance,
it would undoubtedly benefit Yimena Group immensely.
Moreover, Yimena Group has the capability.
The prerequisite is... that thing hadn't happened.
Currently, Yimena Group is at a precarious point.
Many have grown suspicious of Yimena's clothing,
abandoning purchases of Yimena's products.
Only a few hardcore fans still support them.
Now wanting Lin Lu to wear Yimena's clothes for her performance,
it's definitely not easy.
"President Lin, frankly speaking, given the current situation, getting Lin Lu to wear our company's costumes, never mind a thousand concert tickets, even with ten thousand, the chances are slim. You know Lin Lu's style, she never endorses problematic products." Tang Qian said, frowning.
"Our products have no problems!" Lin Xi said with a tone that was beyond dispute.
"Of course, I know our products have no issues, but Lin Lu won't believe it, and surely Yiyang Group won't miss this opportunity… but it's worth a shot, shall I contact Lin Lu's agent?" Tang Qian sighed.
Tang Qian's comments were well known to Lin Xi.
A bitter smile appeared on her face.
How glorious Yimena Group once was.
All those celebrities were fighting tooth and nail to endorse Yimena, but now...
"No need..." Ultimately, Lin Xi shook her head.
"Then... President Lin, the concert tickets..."
"Go ahead and buy them."
"Got it, President Lin!" Tang Qian left happily.
Tang Qian had just left shortly.
Steve stormed into the office angrily.
"EVE, I heard you want to give the whole company time off to see Lin Lu's concert?" Steve demanded loudly as soon as he entered.
Lin Xi replied calmly, "Is there a problem?"
"Of course, there's a problem! Don't you know the current situation of Yimena Group? I worked hard to lower Yimena's heat, people are finally starting to forget Yimena, and now you're pulling this, do you want us on Jiangdu City's headlines? Then people's focus will be back on Yimena, making it much harder to cool down again!" Steve said angrily.
