Chapter 83: Getting the job done
Mi Cai was still waiting for my answer. After a little silence, I said to Mi Cai: "The work matters have almost been implemented."
"Oh, is it still a department store?"
"No, I was planning in an advertising company, introduced by a friend."
"Oh." Mi Cai just responded, her mood seemed a little depressed, as if she was still concerned about the fact that I lost my job because of her.
I comforted again: "Actually, it's really good for me to stay in Xuzhou. I'll tell you something quite new."
"you say."
I smiled and said, "I have been on a blind date recently. It's the first time in my life, but... I fell in love with it once. Is my charm okay?"
Mi Cai was unexpectedly silent for a long time before asking, "Is that so? Then do you love her?"
"You have a good impression. How long has it been? It's too far-fetched to say that love is too far-fetched, but blind dates are like this. When both parties have a good impression, they get along in depth. The most important thing is that parents are optimistic about us being together." I explained with a smile.
"Oh, I wish you all together."
"Thank you, so you don't have to feel guilty about that matter. I really feel that going back to Xuzhou is the right choice."
"Your choice is your business, I apologize is mine, I don't think the two must be connected... It's getting late, I'll take a break first."
I couldn't understand Mi Cai's words for a moment, but she hung up the phone very quickly.
...
I lay down again, feeling inexplicably melancholy, and lit a cigarette for myself late at night. Suddenly my mind was full of Mi Cai busy until late at night. After returning home, I knew that she had no friends in Suzhou, but her relatives always wanted to kill her in the mall.
My mood became more and more dull, while Micai's beautiful and weak face was deeply engraved in my mind.
This night when I should have enjoyed sleep easily, but I had insomnia. While tossing and turning, my brain was uncontrollable and thinking about it. I remembered Fang Yuan and Yan Yan and her husband, and my life in Suzhou. The scene of confessing to Chen and Jian Wei that day also flashed in my mind like a fun time. Even the night when I slept with Le Yao in Hengdian also rashly remembered it, so my mood became more and more upset. It was not until dawn that I finally fell asleep in overwhelming.
...
I slept until almost noon this time. When I woke up, my brain was still drowsy due to lack of sleep. After a simple washing, I received a call from Li Xiaoyun before I could eat a bite.
I answered the phone and yawned unconsciously.
"Zhaoyang, did you just get up?"
"Well, I just got up for a while and I had insomnia last night." I said to Li Xiaoyun.
"Then you have to adjust your mental state quickly. I have already read your resume to Director Zhou of our company's planning department. He hopes you can come over for an interview in the afternoon." Li Xiaoyun said to me seriously.
"Have you said exactly?"
"He is in the company in the afternoon. You can decide the time yourself. Just call me when it comes. I'll take you to find him."
"OK."
Li Xiaoyun reminded again, "You have to adjust your condition. You should know that people in the planning industry are very rigorous and don't like loose and loose people!"
"Don't worry, I won't be embarrassed!"
With my promise, Li Xiaoyun hung up the phone.
...
Before my mother came back to cook, I cooked a bowl of noodles for myself and ate it, I turned on the computer and started searching for information about Li Xiaoyun's advertising company online. Remembering these information will definitely be of great benefit to the job I am about to face.
After memorizing all the information about Orson Advertising (the advertising company where Li Xiaoyun works) that I could find on the Internet, I took a taxi to Orson.
After I arrived in Orson, Li Xiaoyun was already waiting for me downstairs in the office building, and I walked towards her.
When I got closer, Li Xiaoyun looked at me and sighed with a smile: "Zhaoyang, when you dress seriously, you really have the temperament of a social elite!"
"There is nothing to do about this. I am just such a man destined to succeed!" I also agreed with a smile.
I thought Li Xiaoyun would hurt me, but she nodded in agreement. Then she helped me to sort out the wrinkled corners of my clothes and said to me: "Let's go, Director Zhou is already waiting there."
"He really gives you face!"
"That's right, after all, I have a status in the world."
Along the way, Li Xiaoyun and I talked and laughed, and the atmosphere became relaxed, without any tension before applying.
I followed Li Xiaoyun to Orson Advertising and walked through the ordinary work area. More than 50 people were working hard. The number of people was enough to show that Orson Advertising is a top advertising company in Xuzhou. The information that can be found online did not deliberately exaggerate the company scale of Orson Advertising.
When he arrived at the director's office, Li Xiaoyun knocked on the door lightly, and a heavy "please come in" came from inside.
Li Xiaoyun gave me a look and signaled me to go in with her. I nodded, pushed open the door first, and walked into the director's office with Li Xiaoyun.
A middle-aged man in a suit and tie sat upright on an office chair, with a strong aura of a director of a large advertising company.
Li Xiaoyun introduced me to him: "Director Zhou, this is what I am talking about Zhaoyang with you."
I nodded to him with a moderate smile in the workplace and said, "Hello, Director Zhou, I am Zhaoyang, here to apply for a position in business planning for your company."
Director Zhou nodded and smiled, saying, "You are introduced by Director Li (Li Xiaoyun). I have read the resume. I believe in Manager Li's vision. Let's talk first." After that, he signaled to me and Li Xiaoyun to sit down.
Li Xiaoyun said, "Director Li, let's talk to Zhaoyang. Our customer department has something to deal with."
Director Zhou nodded politely with a smile, which proved that Li Xiaoyun really has a status in this company. At her age, she can become the director of the customer department of a large advertising company. She is really capable. She has a very easy-going temperament and is very suitable for customer management.
Before Li Xiaoyun left, she made a cheering gesture to me. After I responded to her confident look, she left with confidence.
Director Zhou took out my resume again, browsed it quickly and asked me: "You work in the planning department of Polygon Department Store in Suzhou and have participated in the investment and planning work of three luxury brands."
"Yes, Director Zhou."
"So what roles do you play in these jobs?"
"The planning cooperation in investment, brand maintenance after setting up cabinets, and providing sales support for these luxury brands in the mall, of course, these tasks are huge and are operated by a team, but I am a main member of this team, and have also organized or participated in the business planning of the mall many times." I tried my best to save time and grasp the key points and said.
Director Zhou nodded and asked with interest: "Then talk about these business planning cases you have done in detail."
I nodded and then explained some of the cases I had done at Polytechnic in recent years as concisely as possible.
After talking about these cases I had done at Polytechnic Department Store, I also exchanged some views on business planning with Director Zhou, which can be said to be a great talk.
During the exchange, Director Zhou gave a high evaluation of the "Love Not Luxury" theme promotional event planning for Polygon Department Store before leaving Suzhou, and said that he would pay attention to the effect of the event, which made me feel a little sad. In fact, in less than a week, the "Love Not Luxury" theme promotional event of Polygon Department Store will be launched. Although this activity plan was written by me, it cannot be implemented in the end, which makes me feel a little regretful! I also hope that the theme promotional event of "Love Not Luxury" can be successful, which can be regarded as the last little reward to Chen Jingming.
In a moment of loss, Director Zhou said to me again: "Zhaoyang, let me tell you about the current situation of our company. This year is the year of our Orson Advertising. Customer quality has improved greatly compared with previous years. At present, we are planning to concentrate resources to win the advertising business of several large department stores in Xuzhou. You have rich experience in department store planning and have advantages in department store business planning, which is very in line with our current strategic needs. I personally have full expectations for you."
"I also look forward to joining Orson Advertising and creating value for the company and planning department to do my best." I nodded sincerely and said.
Director Zhou reported with a sincere smile and said, "I have no problem here. If you have any requirements for salary and benefits, please communicate with the Human Resources Department. We will try our best to satisfy you."
"It has made Director Zhou worry!"
"I am worthy of my worries about being capable people. I hope you can become my capable general!" Director Zhou stood up and stretched out his hand to me.
I quickly got up and held his hand. The feeling of being respected is really good. I think I will cherish this opportunity and do my best to make a difference in Xuzhou. From then on, I will never think of the city in Suzhou that makes me sad.
While talking, Li Xiaoyun came to the director's office again. She held the information in one hand and the handbag in the other, as if she was going out.
"Director Zhou, do you think Zhaoyang is competent for the planning of our company?" Li Xiaoyun asked with concern.
"I am looking forward to it personally and I am very welcome to join our Orson ads."
Li Xiaoyun smiled at me, gave me a thumbs up, and then said to Director Zhou: "I just got an appointment from Manager Lin from the Planning Department of Times Department Store. It is mainly about cooperation in advertising business. I hope your planning department can appoint someone to cooperate with me to complete this interview, which may involve some exchanges on our company's planning capabilities."
Director Zhou nodded, with a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he was thinking about the candidate, suddenly his eyes stopped on me and then gave me a questioning look.
I pointed at myself in confusion and asked, "Mr. Zhou, do you mean that I went to Times Department Store with Manager Li?"
