Chapter 22: Opportunity for Promotion
After dinner, Mi Cai and I took Ban Dad out of the community. The hotel where Ban Dad stayed was across the street, but he had to leave tomorrow morning.
Before leaving, I asked him: "Dad Ban, when will you come to Suzhou next time?"
"Come here if you have time. Next time I will bring you some rice and flour." Daddy Ban replied.
When Ban Dad emphasized you, I felt helpless again. When he came next time, I had already left Mi Cai's house and didn't know where in this city I was wandering. In fact, I didn't want Ban Dad to come to Suzhou because I did nothing and my downfall always made me feel extremely guilty when facing him.
Dad Ban reminded me again, "Remember to repair the leaky water pipe when you go back later."
"Remember."
Daddy Ban nodded, patted my shoulder, then said nothing, and turned around and left.
Looking at the back of Mr. Ban leaving, I knew he wanted to say something to me, but he didn't say it out loud. He didn't want to give me too much psychological burden.
I lit a cigarette, and I couldn't stop my loss. Just today, Fang Yuan and Yan Yan got married, Jian Wei became Xiang Chen's girlfriend, and I... it would be fine if I didn't mention it.
I thought: It's time for me to go back and pack my luggage. I will find a corner in this city that can live in peace but not in a life.
...
Mi Cai went upstairs before I went upstairs, and I finished smoking a cigarette before going back.
After entering the house, I found the tool box and replaced the leaky water pipe that Daddy said. I checked some other places and confirmed that there were no hidden dangers. Then I returned to my room and packed my luggage.
Mi Cai stood at the door of my room at some point, and she asked me: "Have you repaired the leaking water pipe just now?"
"Well, I have checked other places. If the water pipe at home breaks down, or changes light bulbs, you can call me and I'll help you with it." I said, putting the guitar into the box.
"Oh, but there are cockroaches in the house. Is there any way to drive them away?"
I smiled and joked with Mi Cai: "You can drive away such a big, lively person like me. Can you still handle a few little cockroaches?"
Mi Cai didn't say anything, she just looked at me.
"I'm kidding with you. After get off work tomorrow, I'll buy some insecticide powder and sprinkle it on the bathroom. Winter is coming soon, and cockroaches usually stop moving, so you don't have to worry."
"oh."
Mi Cai returned to her room, and I was still packing my luggage. Half packed. I sat on the bed and rested, and looked around. I took out a cigarette from the cigarette box but it didn't ignite it. I have been a bastard for so long, and when I left, I would still be a trustworthy person, although it was just a trivial matter.
I put the cigarette in the cigarette box again, and I lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling habitually, relaxing my mind, and not willing to recall what happened at noon.
...
The next day, I went to work step by step. I had another interview with the representative of i. The last contact before setting up a cabinet in our mall. If it goes well, I will get a brief respite. I will leave the burden to me, and I have been working overloaded.
The representative of i-party stands in the mall to discuss the advertising space.
i's representative asked me: "The advertising space you promised to be at the center of the south gate must be implemented as soon as possible to cooperate with our opening promotion."
"It's definitely fine. i has been reserved. Your entry has also improved the operating level of our shopping mall to a certain extent. The high-quality resources of the shopping mall will definitely be used by you international first-line brands first."
i's representative nodded and said, "i is willing to enter your mall because he saw your sincerity in the planning project. It is not only your Polygon Department Store, Suzhou's high-end shopping malls!"
"Yes." I responded, but I was unwilling to say too many flattering words.
The representative of i went around the mall, and she suddenly stopped and looked at the promotional poster placed in the middle of the aisle.
"Miss Zhao, what's wrong?" I was a little confused. The set of promotional posters she was looking at was taken by Le Yao at the time.
"What do you think of this graphic model?" she asked me.
"The lens feels strong, the plasticity is also very good, the temperament and appearance are relatively international, and they can create the advertising image of the product very artistically. By the way, she still has one-quarter of the Italian ancestry." I answered truthfully.
"That's a coincidence. i is an Italian brand. Are you very familiar with her?"
I was stunned for a moment and replied, "Are you a friend."
Miss Zhao nodded and looked at Le Yao on the poster, and said to me for a moment: "I think her image and temperament are very consistent with our product positioning. Please contact her to help us shoot a set of promotional posters for opening the business."
I was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. She is filming in Hengdian. She probably has no time in the past few months."
Miss Zhao frowned and said, "I don't want to hear this, I'm afraid, it should be like this. Your answer will make me question the execution ability of your mall. We have already negotiated this step. I don't want such a small thing to affect our cooperative relationship."
Such a straightforward threat made me feel unhappy, but when I thought that this project was related to Fang Yuan’s future, I didn’t have an attack, but I instinctively didn’t want to contact Le Yao. Besides, shooting such a promotional poster may require filming in other places, which cannot be completed in one or two days. As a newcomer, Le Yao joined the crew, and it is impossible for the whole drama to cooperate with her time. As Le Yao, naturally treats filming as a top priority, and I asked her to come back, wasn’t it difficult for her to make things difficult for her.
"Ms. Zhao, I try my best to contact her, but I can't guarantee you whether I can spare time." I responded, but I didn't plan to contact Le Yao at all.
Miss Zhao waved her hand impatiently and said, "Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll go talk to your Manager Chen." After that, she left me and walked towards the office area alone.
...
As expected, I returned to the office for a short while and the manager's room there called me to notify me of it.
I felt unhappy again. This was obviously a use of my superiors to suppress me. For a small employee like me, she was lazy to talk too much nonsense to me.
I entered the manager's room, and the manager Chen Jingming and Long Yan sat upright in the office chair with displeasure.
"I'm here Manager Chen."
"Do you know why I'm looking for you?" Chen Jingming asked me with a cold face.
"I don't know." I responded negatively.
Chen Jingming's finger tapping on the desktop was a little higher: "Zhaoyang, why are you so confused about the situation? i is the eighth international first-tier brand to enter our shopping mall. Do you know what this means to our shopping mall?... It means that according to international rating standards, our shopping mall has officially reached the level of a top department store B! It has a milestone significance!"
"Manager, I know if you don't ask and answer yourself."
Chen Jingming suppressed his anger and said to me: "If something happens at this critical moment, not only you, but our entire planning department, can't afford to leave!"
"Don't make things difficult for me. If the schedule cannot be arranged on the graphic model, what can I do? Besides, this time the project of setting up a counter in our mall, both parties have invested a lot of human resources. In order to promote small things like posters, it would not ruin the cooperation that has been discussed for so long."
"No one can take the chance before the contract is officially signed. As for the i brand, i will temporarily terminate the cooperation plan." Chen Jingming said with an increasingly serious expression.
I continued to say helplessly: "Even if the company opens me, I can't guarantee this matter!"
Chen Jingming stared at me with a slutty look for a long time and said, "There is something you probably don't know yet. If you set up a counter in our company, if the counter can be successfully set up, our planning department will have major personnel changes. Fang Yuan, as the direct person in charge of the entire project, has the opportunity to take the position of deputy manager of the planning department, and you... have a great opportunity to replace Fang Yuan as the leader of the copywriting planning team!"
