Chapter 101：How to do well?

As they walked towards the meeting room, Xu Rong had already informed Falsheni of her identity through the translator, indicating that they should go inside to talk.

The three of them entered the conference room, and only then did Xu Rong ask seriously, "Mr. Falsheni, are you specifically here to find Li Weijie?"

Falsheni felt that he was simply visiting a friend privately, so how did it turn into being received by the owner of Shijue? But he did not show any displeasure and smiled as he said, "Yes, a few days ago, Li and I met in H City. Since I came to A City this time and his workplace is not far away, I decided to come and see my friend."

Having heard his explanation, Xu Rong knew he was probably not lying, furrowing her eyebrows. "So you didn't send anyone to find Li Weijie to meet with you this morning?"

"Miss Xu, what do you mean by that?" This sentence was not translated to Falsheni immediately, as Yang Lin asked himself, while also revealing his identity, "My name is Yang Lin, I am Mr. Falsheni's translator and his main assistant here in China."

"Mr. Yang, let me explain. Two people came this morning, claiming to be Mr. Falsheni's bodyguards. They said they wanted to invite Li Weijie and me to meet with you. At that time, Li Weijie and our Vice President, Miss Lin Ruotong, who had met Mr. Falsheni before, were taken away together..." Xu Rong glanced at the two of them, "Now that Mr. Falsheni personally came to find Ajie, does that mean no one came in the morning?"

After entering, Falsheni noticed that Xu Rong's expression had been serious since they arrived, without a trace of a smile, and realized that something must have happened. Now that he saw Yang Lin communicating with her, he quietly listened on the side. After Xu Rong finished speaking, he looked towards Yang Lin.

After hearing this, Yang Lin already had a rough idea of what had happened and quickly translated Xu Rong's words.

"Somebody impersonated us?" Falsheni was astonished. This was the first time he had encountered something like this.

Yang Lin nodded, then whispered to Xu Rong, "Miss Xu, the situation is like this. We came from H City, and when we arrived today, Mr. Falsheni knew that he had to go to the grand opening of Moignon's chain store, which happens to be on the same street as Shijue, only a few hundred meters away. 

He mentioned this, and the person who received us volunteered to contact you first. Later, someone told us that you and Mr. Li were not here and that you both went on a business trip, so we decided to cancel our plan to come in the morning.

Now, the activities over there have finished, and there are less than two hours left before Mr. Falsheni's flight back to France. We don't know when he will have another chance to come, so he just came to see Shijue and check if Mr. Li Weijie has returned. That's how things stand."

Xu Rong quickly organized her thoughts in her mind, keeping a calm and composed mindset. She elegantly smiled at Falsheni and Yang Lin. "Thank you very much for making a special trip to visit our hairstylist and our store. Since it wasn't Mr. Falsheni who sent someone to take them away, then I suppose someone else did. We will find a way to locate them."

Falsheni's face showed a hint of dissatisfaction as he complained, "This is so unethical! Yang, call Mr. Enzo!"

Yang Lin knew that this involved malicious competition, but it would negatively impact the relationship between Moignon and Shijue. Although he felt unhappy that they used Falsheni's identity, he also knew that there was no evidence left behind. Moreover, if there were a fallout between Falsheni representing Loki and the high-level executives of Moignon's because of this, it would hurt both himself and Loki.

Therefore, he pondered quickly and suggested in a low voice in French, "Mr. Falsheni, I think it's better if we don't personally get involved. Your plane is about to depart, and besides, we don't know much about the situation. I suggest we provide the information we have to Miss Xu, and whether to negotiate with Moignon's or leave it to the police to handle, let Miss Xu decide."

Although he had met Li Weijie once and had a good impression, at this moment, Yang Lin still prioritized the interests of the company.

Falsheni, although initially displeased, quickly calmed down. After all, Loki had substantial cooperation with Moignon, and it was not sensible to create conflicts like this. After considering for a while, he nodded, "Yang, let's do it your way. However, I will mention this matter to Mr. Enzo at an appropriate time."

Knowing that he had calmed down, Yang Lin agreed and then said to Xu Rong, "Miss Xu, I have exchanged opinions with Mr. Falsheni and informed him of the situation. He is genuinely angry and feels sorry. But as you know, we don't have any means to help, and his flight is about to depart."

"I understand. I appreciate both of your positions." 

Xu Rong smiled slightly. She wasn't an impulsive person, and her experience in social interactions had made her mature and level-headed. 

"Thank you very much. Your words have given me a direction. I will find another way to handle the remaining matters."

"Thank you for your understanding. The information we can provide is that the only people who knew that Mr. Falsheni was coming to Shijue to meet Mr. Li Weijie are the receptionists from Moignon. We don't know their exact names, but there is no doubt that they leaked the information. We can't be of much help, and we are truly sorry." Yang Lin said sincerely.

Xu Rong gave a faint smile, seemingly not overwhelmed by the problem at hand, and addressed Falsheni, "Mr. Falsheni, this time you didn't meet Li Weijie, which means you made a wasted trip. If there's an opportunity, I will make sure he visits France to visit you."

"Welcome, welcome. He is a very outstanding young man, and I have high expectations for his future." Falsheni replied with a smile.

After this incident, everything that needed to be said had been said, and there was no need for further courtesy. This brief meeting ended.

Xu Rong escorted them downstairs. Faced with reporters, she remained tight-lipped, not mentioning this incident. Because until now, there was no evidence proving that it was Moignon's people who did it. Yang Lin also tactfully requested that she not bring up any negative news to Falsheni.

After Falsheni and Yang Lin left, some reporters stayed behind to interview Xu Rong.

"Moignon's chain store has also been set up on Happy Road Commercial Street. Does Ms. Xu think it's a coincidence or deliberate? Will their establishment severely impact Shijue's business?"

"I heard that Shijue has already had several heavyweight hairstylists terminate their contracts and leave. Can Ms. Xu explain this incident?"

"May I ask who the person that Falsheni came to visit, Li Weijie, is? Is he a senior hairstylist recruited by Shijue? What's his background, and how does he know Falsheni?"

"Ms. Xu, what are your next plans? Can Shijue maintain its leading position in the local hair salon industry?"

...

Faced with the various questions from the reporters, Xu Rong felt a wave of annoyance, but she couldn't show it. She could only force a smile and speak in a peaceful and elegant tone, "To all our friends from the media who are in a hurry and have questions about our store, please visit our store manager, Sun, who will answer all your questions one by one. As for some questions, we will announce them at an appropriate time."

After throwing the questions to Sun Mo, Xu Rong hurriedly returned to the third floor. Since Shen Mengli and Liu Wei didn't have any clients today, she called both of them to the office and briefly told them the situation, seeking their opinions and brainstorming together to find the best solution.

Because Lin Ruotong and Li Weijie were not only her colleagues but also close friends, Xu Rong now felt worried and uneasy. She was afraid that she wouldn't be rational enough.

Shen Mengli and Liu Wei were taken aback, not expecting the other side to resort to such despicable tactics.

"Xu Rong, I think we should report this to the police! With our power, we won't be able to make them release the captives. Moreover, their high-level officials will deny any involvement. Let's let the police handle it and provide them with all the information we know and speculate. I refuse to believe that the police can't catch these villains!" Shen Mengli said angrily.

Xu Rong smiled bitterly, knowing that Shen Mengli and herself, as good friends who cared deeply, were too caught up in worry. She looked at Liu Wei and Liu Wei, who usually didn't say much, but always had well-thought-out opinions.

Liu Wei pondered for a while and said slowly, "Ms. Xu since they impersonated Falsheni's people to take you and Weijie away, it means that their goal was to prevent you and Weijie from meeting the Frenchmen. It's just that they didn't expect it to be Lin Miss..."

"We already know all these. Liu, tell us what we should do now." 

Shen Mengli interrupted him.

Liu Wei frowned slightly, "If their goal was simply to create a time gap and they used deception, then wouldn't Lin Miss and Weijie naturally come back after Falsheni leaves? Falsheni has already come here, didn't meet Weijie, and the meeting with Ms. Xu was brief. Their goal has been basically achieved, so if nothing unexpected happens, they should come back soon, right?"

Xu Rong and Shen Mengli both thought it made sense. Now that Falsheni had gone to the airport, it wouldn't take long for him to leave A City.

Naturally, the other party wouldn't make things difficult for Lin Ruotong and Li Weijie anymore. At this moment, reporting to the police rashly might result in the people returning before the police could properly handle the case.

"At this point, we shouldn't bring any negative impact to Shijue. Let's wait for a while, and see if we can contact them tonight." Xu Rong weighed her options for a while before making a decision.

With a sigh of relief, Shen Mengli said, "I wonder how they will treat Ruotong and Ajie."

Liu Wei furrowed his brow slightly, "Since they wanted to prevent Lin Miss and Weijie from meeting Falsheni, they shouldn't resort to violence, right?"

Xu Rong and Shen Mengli fell into silence, both very worried in their hearts.
