Offer To The CEO

119 The Press Release - Part 3

Thursday, continued ...

Miss Wu, let me go from here, OK.It will be rough, and you will need to edit it, nut it will give you're your start to get towards the final version of the press release for Yi and I to approve."

"Fine Madam Hou."

With that Anna deleted the last paragraph and started anew

'Bravely CEO Hou and Madam Hou, have decided to share their stories about their interactions with such violence with the public, not only as a means to show what they know, but to encourage people to share their stories, and work to stop the violence.

'CEO Hou observed the seriousness of such violence while studying in England.During his studies, he formed a close group of friends of both sexes.After one night out with friends, rather than allowing an alcohol affected female friend travel home on public transport, he took her home personally.When he escorted her to her apartment, his concerns about her ongoing safety were allayed as his friend's boyfriend was there, and helped him take her inside.'

"CEO Hou's view that his friend was safe was quickly proven wrong.When he got back to his car, he located his friend's mobile and house keys so he returned to her apartment.He heard his friend screaming, and her boyfriend blaming her for his actions and asking for her forgiveness for doing what he was doing.'

'CEO Hou used the keys in his possession he observed his friend's boyfriend not only kicking her, hit hitting her with a metal bar.CEO Hou not only called the police but stepped in to stop the assault.The police arrested the man in question, and charged him.'

'To support, his friend CEO Hou had to step in and locate services to assist his friend, initially and in the long term, and to assist her in getting through the criminal case against her abuser.As a result, CEO Hou in cities he visits for work related to Hou Enterprises makes the effort to make a personal donation to services throughout the work, to carry out the work that assisted his friend.'

'Madam Hou's story, is just as compelling.Professionally Madam Hou, is a trained lawyer, and during the course of her work, she often dealt with victims of intimate partner violence, in a supportive safe environment.She was, however blind to what was happening in her own relationship with her former partner.'

Madam Hou's former partner was someone she met at university, and was almost 5 years older than her.During that relationship he used his life experiences to slowly isolate Madam Hou from her friends who challenged his actions; undermined her self-worth so that despite all her job success she believe that she was nothing without him; her belittled and verbally abused Madam Hou; and used dependence developed in the relationship to ensure she totally depended on him.'

'Madam Hou, despite her former partner'swealth was the sole person responsible for the financial support of their relationship and refused to undertake any normal household tasks to assist Madam Hou who worked full time, when he rarely worked.The only lucky thing for Madam Hou was her former partner was not physically abusive to her.'

'As Madam Hou says, it take the support of just one person, who believes in a victim of intimate partner violence, whether physically or in other any other form, to tell them that they are worthwhile, they do not need to suffer this violence to make a difference.Madam Hou, knows that she was lucky to find that in her husband, however there is not often person close to a victim that the victim will open up to about their abuse, and start the healing process.'

'CEO Hou and Madam Hou's goal for the initiative, is to create a network of services that will provide that support to victims of such violence and aid them to work to deal with the violence and move forward with their life.'

Anna paused, and said "I think I have taken this as far as I can."

With that Wu Mei, tool Ana's laptop with from her and started working to polish the information.Anna simply sat quietly, drinking on a cold drink that she had taken from the fridge.

About an hour later, Hou Yi walked back into his office, and the final version, was polished, and released to meet the dinner news bulletins.
