Two (Upper)
The day of our reunion was indeed just a remarkable coincidence
Luo Dazheng has an important client who is from the cultural department of the local government, currently planning a regional tourism festival, which promises substantial profits. Luo Dazheng is eager and determined to secure this project
Lan Ning, the account manager of Jingyangchun, has had quite a few interactions and believes that the other party's attitude is quite sincere. He candidly states: "They have already agreed to compensate; it is merely an internal process. They will also consider the face-saving needs of the client. Furthermore, according to judicial procedures, the correct amount of compensation should be determined by the victim filing a lawsuit in court, which will then make a ruling. In other words, their company is not violating any laws by not compensating at this moment. Why should we kick someone when they are down?"
Lan Ning said: "Let us not speak of that hypocritical and false politeness anymore, shall we"
He stopped with a stern face, waved his fist at her, instantly restoring her psychological balance
Guan Zhi was sipping porridge while listening to Lan Ning talking on the phone, and interjected with a reminder: "You must find someone who can cook, as I am not accustomed to farmhouse cuisine. Otherwise, you can cook it yourself." Lan Ning shot him a glance.
The employee who committed the crime has been apprehended, and the court has also rendered a verdict. However, his sum of over 10,000 yuan remains unaccounted for, which leads to feelings of melancholy whenever it comes to mind
Upon arriving at the company, Luo Dazheng was in the smoking room with several male colleagues from the design department, displaying a friendly demeanor. As Lan Ning passed by, he overheard Luo reminiscing about his past: "Although I faced repeated failures while pursuing my wife, I continued to fight on, and in the end, didn't the belle of our art academy end up with me? This is what they call a lady fearing a rogue." He paused for a moment and added, "In this crisis, what we fear most is public relations."
The other party's attitude is quite good, stating that it is indeed a mistake on the company's part, and that a compensation claim should be submitted according to the procedures.
She tried to bypass this person, but was blocked by their hand. When she looked up, she saw Guan Zhi smiling at her.
Not only do colleagues appreciate this approach, but clients also respond positively to it
Regarding her approach, Guan Zhi often criticizes her, saying that she is a "two-faced person," and adds, "If only you could show me a smiling face that you use when meeting clients!"
Furthermore, the analysis of the client list provided by Luo Dazheng highlights "Tongmeng" and "Jingyangchun" in bold.
However, in this regard, they all faced defeat, and the winner on the opposing side was precisely "Yue Pingchuan's 'One Horse Flat Road'". Their creativity once again made "Childhood Dreams" a sensation in the European and American markets
He nodded and said, "It is I."
Lan Ning, using the identity of a private representative for the client, made a phone call to the customer service manager of Jingyangchun. As a result, the other party was completely unaware that the court had already rendered a judgment. Initially, this criminal suspect was prosecuted by the state, and neither the victim nor Jingyangchun had ever acted as a plaintiff.
Luo Dazheng is a person who can sometimes be considered kind and sincere towards others
Lan Ning lifted her bangs and took a closer look, indeed a small pimple had emerged, clearly indicating that she had been troubled by too many worries lately, leading to a fierce internal fire burning within her
Lan Ning thought of her husband, and her head began to ache again
When old classmates meet, they should shake hands firmly and engage in warm conversation. Lan Ning was also pondering whether he should extend a handshake
When he went out, he reminded again: "I want a nanny who can cook local dishes."
She had not yet thought it through when Guan Zhi spoke first: "One should be forgiving when possible; why must one push matters to the extreme?"
Lan Ning believes that resolving the matter should not be difficult
Lan Ning was taken aback and asked, "Which newspaper is it for?"
Throughout her many years in the profession, she has excelled at using "if" to conduct simulation exercises. She wishes that if there truly were such an "if," she might not have to face the troubles that lie before her today
This sentence is like a small axe, which with a "bang" wakes up Lan Ning's mind, as stars and little birds fly together. She exclaims: "So it is you?"
After dropping out of Guan Zhi University, Lan Ning never expected that one day he would have any connection with him again
Lan Ning was applying primer in front of her vanity in her room. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Guan Zhi, who was busy with his brush. She smirked and said, "Stop taking pictures, you are now a paragon of elegance and charm, capable of causing a stir both upstairs and downstairs wherever you go"
Lan Ning, under the orders of Luo Daanian, personally attended the scene to listen. After two hours, all the speakers spoke without a hitch, which can be described as perfect. Their attitude was that "enterprises can shoulder social responsibilities," and they not only won this battle but also conducted a promotional activity, the effect of which far exceeded that of advertising in television and magazines.
The people over at Jingyangchun were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, and without a second thought, they quickly returned the client's money in a matter of moments
Luo Dazheng simply looked at her with a cheerful expression
This sentence was automatically dismissed by Lan Ning, pretending it had not reached her ears. She returned to her seat and began to engage in serious work
Lan Ning knew that those in this line of work despised the public humiliation of a clear defeat in the market. Moreover, Luo Danian at that time was still unaware of who he had actually lost to, despite having inquired about Jingyangchun, which had always been an excessively low-profile enterprise.
The manager of the design department, Pan Hua, jokingly teased her, saying: "Lan Ning, you really are not being considerate, only thinking about the precious moments of the young couple, leaving us old comrades behind"
This press conference also troubled her; she secretly represented the company to come to this battleground, and the atmosphere on site felt like a harsh slap to her face. She was not feeling well, so she stepped out of the conference room to get some fresh air
Lan Ning nodded and greeted them, "Good morning"
Lan Ning said with a stern expression: "They all call me a tigress, and I am aware of it."
The management of Jingyangchun, during a press conference, explained the details of the case to the public, symbolically returned the funds to the victims, and publicly apologized on-site. They also announced the launch of a month-long promotional event offering significant discounts. At the conclusion of the press conference, a representative from the prosecutor's office responsible for handling the case elaborated on the determination of responsibility, providing the public with a lesson on legal awareness
Luo Dazheng pointed at her and said to the crowd: "Well, everyone has seen it, marriage is the grave of professional women"
Lan Ning has always felt that her mother is much more indulgent towards her son-in-law than towards her daughter. As she thinks about it, she feels a pang of bitterness, hangs up the phone, and mutters, "What a nice thought, am I your family's maid?"
However, the situation unexpectedly escalated, as bad news tends to spread like wildfire, and a drowning dog is something everyone wants to beat. That news was reprinted by several media outlets and was also heatedly discussed online
Everyone burst into laughter
He turned his head and instructed Lan Ning to get in touch with the personnel from the headquarters of Jingyangchun.
Lan Ning arrived at work very early that day, and the customer service manager from Jingyangchun called in a state of urgency and grievance, saying: "The defendant has already been sentenced to a fine, and this fine goes to the public treasury. The plaintiff has not initiated any civil compensation lawsuit at all. Our company is not saying we won't compensate, but how can your report be so casually written?"
First, summarize the new business. Last night, my old classmate Zhou Bingxin provided valuable information. If executed properly, it can definitely become her good performance this year. She must hold on tightly to it
Luo Dazheng believed that this matter was settled, and the client was very satisfied, finalizing the cooperation project.
The speaker was merely venting his frustrations, but the listener was attentive. Luo Dazheng was immediately indignant and said, "In the grand city of Shanghai, how could such a disgraceful incident occur in the service industry? It is utterly shameful, truly shameful."
Both are difficult problems
Fang Minmin joked with her after the meeting: "Sister, you are fierce when you go out, and adorable when you come in"
Lan Ningmao leaned against Cheng Feng, revealing a gentle smile. She called out a few times, "Elder Brother," and his demeanor finally softened, no longer resembling that of a frostbitten flower.
Lan Ning wanted to give him a good whack on the head, but upon seeing Guan Zhi's QQ go offline, he slammed his fist on the steering wheel in frustration, then smirked with satisfaction and hailed a taxi.
Fang Minmin said: "This is called being coy when it is appropriate, and absolutely not being coy when it is not appropriate"
In the past six months, Lan Ning often wondered, if it were not for Jingyangchun, would everything be different from the current situation?
He stopped rubbing his waist, finished breakfast, and returned to his room to change clothes. He has always disliked formal attire and prefers understated brands like Comme des Garçons, priding himself on being a "low-key fashion man," which has often drawn scorn from Lan Ning.
At the end of the meeting, she jokingly said: "Our difficulties are equally faced over there, we are still on the same starting line."
Guan Zhi squinted his eyes, seemingly looking at her, yet also appearing not to see her. His face bore a lazy expression, which made her feel irritated.
Upon learning of this, Luo Dazheng could not even drink his coffee, pounding his chest and stamping his feet: "Underestimating the enemy, stumbling before the horse, foolishly making a wedding dress for others." Even the newly secured projects could not conceal his sense of loss
In fact, at that time, she had not seen Guan Zhi for more than five years. What Guan Zhi looked like was becoming increasingly blurred in her memory. At this moment, upon seeing him, she first felt a sense of familiarity, and then she recognized him.
In recent years, Tongmeng has established an investment company, and its strategic focus has gradually shifted towards finance. There has been little significant marketing in the production sector, with last year's bidding project merely being the undertaking of the American Children's Products Expo.
Luo Dazheng would never get angry with her, and he spoke earnestly: "You are simply too soft-hearted; being lenient towards the enemy is being cruel to your own people. If this elder does not feel that his dignity is upheld, how can we possibly come out on top? Our public relations are also valued by them, and we must practice diligently."
I advise you to grow your hair long, and when you style it back, you will definitely not get acne on your forehead. It looked quite nice when you had braids as a child, but you insisted on being different and cut it short, yet you cannot become Li Yuchun.
Guan Zhi was sitting not far from the bar, engrossed in his phone. He casually picked at the fruit cut by the bartender with one hand, stretching his legs out long, exuding a relaxed demeanor, which only intensified the irritation in Lan Ning's eyes.
Lan Ning possesses an excellent work mindset; she never takes her partner's complaints to heart and is able to maintain a pleasant demeanor to encourage a similar attitude from the other party. This is how mutual progress can be achieved
Guan Zhi looked at her reflection in the mirror and said, "Why do you always apply sunscreen? I haven't seen any effect from it; you still have acne on your forehead."
Lan Ning also smiled, thinking that the situation was stronger than the individual. Now was not the time for internal conflicts and grievances. No matter how much dissatisfaction there was, it was better to keep it to oneself for the time being. Moreover, one should not strike those who offer a smile. By appropriately showing some weakness, it would be easy to turn hostility into harmony.
Lan Ning rubbed her thigh, the more she rubbed, the more it hurt and the angrier she became. When she went out, she shot a sharp glare, but she still had to keep her composure while on duty, preparing a bowl of rice and steaming buns for her husband
It turns out that when he dined at the restaurant Jingyangchun in this city, he drank a bit too much and, while settling the bill with his credit card, was inadvertently swindled by the restaurant's staff, who charged his card twice, resulting in a loss of over 10,000 yuan. The employee falsely claimed that the customer had applied for a stored-value card and then took this card to cash out.
In fact, this "Jingyangchun" project also lost to "Yimapingchuan", or rather, it lost to Guanzhi.
Yan Youran often speaks of her work ethic as that of an "old yellow ox," which naturally earns her the support of her subordinates. Lan Ning believes there is nothing wrong with this; since one aims to be a marshal, in addition to commanding from a position of authority, one must also charge forward when necessary without hesitation.
Lan Ning picked up the concealer and applied it vigorously, saying: "What’s wrong with Li Yuchun? So many people love Li Yuchun!"
Although she kicked Guan Zhi, Lan Ning did not feel pleased and even had difficulty getting out of bed. When she went to the bathroom, she noticed a bruise on the inside of her thigh, rubbed her sore leg, and gritted her teeth, saying: "Too yellow and too violent, Guan Zhi is simply a beast"
Lan Ning thought that it was still necessary for her to pay a visit to Chairman Xie Dongshun of "Tongmeng"
In the final important negotiation dinner, Lan Ning participated as well. The clients were treated so attentively that they became complacent, and after drinking, they became more talkative. He complained to the "landlords" on this side: "The management of the restaurants here is too poor, truly too poor; this needs to be properly reformed"
Lan Ning met Guan Zhi at the press conference of Jingyangchun
He is actually quite picky, especially when it comes to food. He simply cannot get used to the farmhouse dishes prepared by the nanny. Previously, Aunt Fang was carefully selected by Wan Li Yin, which finally met Guan Zhi's requirement.
The other party angrily listed several newspaper names. Lan Ning brought the newspapers and found that each article used excessive language. She felt it was too much, so she went to find Luo Danian
He patted his chest and said, "Your matter is in my hands, I will definitely take care of it for around 10,000 yuan."
After Luo Dazheng personally traveled to another location to sign the contract and had not yet fully enjoyed his success, he received a tip-off about the "Jingyangchun" Guangfa invitation letter, which announced a press conference. Surprisingly, a client who had originally been irreconcilable with Jingyangchun in this life and the next actually rushed to attend the meeting overnight
Lan Ning respectfully offered an apology gift, playfully saying: "Oh, not at all! I'm just going home to be a housewife, the nanny has taken leave to return to her hometown."
Restraining the comings and goings of washing and dressing, seemingly oblivious, and still reminding her: "Today is your duty, breakfast!"
However, after only waiting for a week, Luo Dazheng felt quite embarrassed when questioned by a client, so he called a few journalist friends at the newspaper
Guan Zhi smiled, displaying a demeanor of magnanimity and indifference, which made Lan Ning grit his teeth in frustration
He put on his long pants, wore a shirt, and then donned his coat, grooming his hair in front of the mirror in the large living room
Her appetite is not large; she felt full after eating one bun. Taking advantage of the time she had left, she called the nanny agency.
She reallocated the work, assigning corresponding client targets based on individual work styles and networks. Upon seeing this, everyone noticed that she had personally taken on the seemingly deliberately challenging "Tong Meng" and "Jing Yang Chun," yet no one expressed any emotions.
Then he recounted the details of a certain matter
She called Zhou Bingxin to arrange a time for further discussion. As usual, Lan Ning asked him to send over some preliminary information so that she could begin the initial planning.
With this plan and arrangement, Lan Ning proceeded to organize her affairs. She first sent Wen Xiu to schedule a meeting with Xie Dongshun's secretary. To her surprise, Xie Dongshun readily agreed to meet with her next week. Lan Ning felt a sense of relief and decided to make good use of the morning by holding a motivational meeting with her sales team.
Luo Dazheng was crouching in the office playing indoor golf. The first two balls did not go into the hole, but on the third attempt, it finally went in. He then said: "The management of the restaurant has always had issues, the report is accurate, there is no inaccuracy."
Of course, there are also troublemakers that need to be subdued first
Her relationship with Guan Zhi was initially as simple and transparent as plain water. Thus, it became unremarkable, turning them into strangers, with even the few intersections they had being avoided by her
The steamed buns were brought back by Guanzhi yesterday, neatly packed in a paper box. They are finely made Huaiyang San Ding Bao. This saved Lan Ning quite a bit of trouble; with just a little preparation, a breakfast was well taken care of
Lan Ning took out the proposal made by his company last year and reviewed it again, and could not help but admit that the proposal based on the "time dimension" was indeed too outdated, lacking any highlights, and was a reflection of his own lack of effort
After that failure, she could not bear to see the three characters "Jingyangchun" for a long time; whenever she saw them, it would stir up distress in her very core.
Lan Ning thought that last night's spring gathering was quite successful, with harmonious interactions and close connections, which can be considered a manifestation of corporate culture
He truly gazed at her, scrutinizing her slowly from bottom to top.
