Deeper meaning?
The executives were all confused.
In fact, after the morning meeting, Jin Yiyuan had been running around to the other vice presidents' offices, discussing the proposal.
Before the meeting, the vice presidents who had received the email had also exchanged ideas about it.
They knew the proposal came from a junior employee in the PR department.
But after thinking it over for a long time, they still couldn't figure out what the "deeper meaning" was.
In the face of their puzzled gazes, Luo He remained calm.
"As everyone knows, our PR efforts at Enchant Beauty have never achieved the desired results. This has been a problem for us and is one of the key focuses of our work this year," he began.
"This proposal does carry some risk, but if it succeeds, the results will be outstanding!"
"Fortune favors the bold. We must take a chance."
Hearing Luo He speak so confidently, the others couldn't help but feel curious.
"President Luo, what is the deeper meaning of this proposal?"
Luo He shook his head. "Forgive me, everyone, but I must keep the suspense. You'll understand when the time comes. If I explain now, it won't work."
The others exchanged glances.
A PR proposal that might fail?
Although they were suspicious, since Luo He wasn't saying more, they didn't press him further.
After all, in the end, how the company was run was up to Luo He.
Moreover, they didn't believe Luo He was someone who would make reckless decisions. Since he said there was a deeper meaning, they trusted he had considered it carefully.
Though they didn't think the so-called deeper meaning could make up for the potential negative consequences.
Little did they know, the deeper meaning Luo He mentioned was something he himself had no clear understanding of.
But Luo He still trusted his judgment.
He didn't believe Bai Tao would joke about something as significant as a twenty-million donation.
Even if she resisted and avoided him, it wasn't as if they had any deep-seated hatred for each other. It wasn't worth her intentionally sabotaging him.
From his conversations with Bai Tao and her family, Luo He felt that they were genuinely good people.
After the meeting, Luo He had formally informed the leadership and then returned to his office to issue the final instructions.
The instructions were to post the announcement online. Of course, Luo He wasn't foolish enough to mention anything about PR.
Instead, the message would be framed around charity, highlighting the company's sense of social responsibility and commitment, and then concluding with the announcement of a twenty-million donation for flood relief.
As soon as the announcement was made, Enchant Beauty's internal environment was immediately stirred up.
Naturally, there was a wave of skepticism.
Just as Liu Rui had predicted, the employees were very unhappy.
Although the company's profits belonged to the boss, and no one had the right to question how much the boss wanted to donate, the employees couldn't help but feel that since the boss didn't need the money, why not set aside a portion to give employees some benefits instead?
Initially, these discussions were confined to the departments, but as people moved around during lunch, the events of the morning meeting quickly spread.
The gossip was naturally leaked by people from the PR department.
Soon, rumors began to spread like wildfire.
The so-called charity donation was actually a PR strategy!
The person who came up with the proposal was an employee named Bai Tao.
Bai Tao, though appearing as a low-level employee, was actually a mysterious big shot!
President Luo He was not single—Bai Tao was his girlfriend.
Bai Tao had publicly stated in the office that women should not be pampered!
Even her exact words had been passed around, like that one—"If he wants me, he gets me?"
The news spread so quickly that by the time the afternoon came around, even the senior executives knew about it.
At first, they didn't believe it.
Would Luo He really do something this outrageous for a woman?
It completely shattered everyone's previous impressions.
However, when Jin Yiyuan verified the story with Li Yongqiang, and Li Yongqiang secretly confirmed it with some employees, everything was confirmed.
Previously, they had all been speculating about what the "deeper meaning" of President Luo's actions was.
Now, they all knew—Luo He had adopted the proposal just to please his girlfriend during the meeting.
This revealed that the so-called "deeper meaning" and the "it won't work if I say it now" were nothing but nonsense.
It wasn't that it wouldn't work if he said it, but rather that he couldn't say it.
Ji Ziheng, as Luo He's assistant, didn't have many friends in the company.
So he found out about the rumors later than most.
But when he did hear about it, he was furious.
He had even started questioning everything that day—like why Luo He had been smiling, or why he had asked him that strange question.
It was clear now: even if they were truly dating, it must have been very recent.
After all, Luo He hadn't acted like this before.
So if it was indeed new, it was infuriating how Bai Tao, with her boldness, openly disrespected Luo He in the office and talked so arrogantly about not pampering him.
Ji Ziheng had always seen Luo He as a role model—someone he both respected and admired—so he couldn't tolerate seeing him "humiliated" like this.
Fuming, he stormed into Luo He's office to voice his complaints.
"President Luo, Bai Tao is too much!"
Luo He, who had been handling paperwork, paused and slowly raised his head. A flicker of displeasure flashed in his eyes. "Ziheng, what do you mean by that?"
Ji Ziheng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and attempted to appear composed. "President Luo, you might not know yet, but it's all over the company. Bai Tao has been openly disrespectful to you in the office and is going around spreading rumors about your relationship... This will damage your reputation!"
Luo He leaned back in his chair, his arms crossed in front of his chest, and his face betrayed no emotion. "Is that all?"
Ji Ziheng was taken aback by the calmness in Luo He's reaction. "President Luo, how can you let Bai Tao act so recklessly? Don't you—"
Luo He interrupted him with an air of authority that left no room for argument. "Ziheng, I handle my own matters. You don't need to worry about it."
Ji Ziheng felt a wave of frustration but dared not say more. He could only retreat, leaving the office with a lingering sense of dissatisfaction.
Luo He gazed at the closed door, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Bai Tao, Bai Tao... You sure know how to surprise me..."
