Chapter 11 You Are Not God You Are Not Worthy
"Weilan, you hurry back to the company, the customer wants a refund!" "I just packed up in the morning and was about to take my daughter to the hospital, Mr. Zhang's cold words made me like a big basin of cold water in the winter, pouring down from the beginning, although it was still autumn, there was a kind of winter cold to the bone.
"Okay, I'll be right away!" Realizing the seriousness of the problem, I immediately picked up my bag and prepared to go out.
As soon as I rushed to the door, I suddenly remembered to go to the hospital.
"Mom, you help Chenchen wash up first, get her something to eat, and take her downstairs to wait for me later, the company has an emergency, I want to go over." ”
"Oh, good—good—" Knowing that my mother had heard, I spread my legs and ran away, my heart already in my throat.
Fortunately, my home is not far from the company, and I trotted all the way to the downstairs of the company in 20 minutes. The security guard downstairs saw me and greeted me with his usual smile, but I had no intention of coping with it, and flashed past him.
I only heard the last sentence, "What's wrong today?"
Before I arrived at the door of the company, the noisy sound inside had already come from afar.
"Mr. Zhang, you have to refund me the advertising fee! You have to compensate us for our losses! Look at what you made in this magazine, can you take it out and meet people?!" As soon as I heard it, Mr. Liu's voice was a little hoarse, and there was a tough fire in the arrogance. As soon as I heard this voice, the big shiny back, the white face as big as a basin, and the black bib pants had already spread all over my mind. He was the owner of a jewelry company, in his forties, and had a factory with dozens of people. Looking back on the past meeting, it seems that there were only three times, but the thick golden chain on the neck and the big gold ring on the hand can't be wiped like a stamp, they seem to be able to speak, always telling the people around me: I have money!
"Mr. Liu, you take a sip first and calm down," Mr. Zhang's warm voice was in stark contrast to him, "We are really sorry for this matter." Our colleagues are already very serious, but the printing house is really unexpected, and we will follow up until the book comes out. We were also very depressed this time, we didn't expect to make such a low-level mistake after working together for so long. ”
"Don't talk to me! Play ball for me?! I've been in the mall for so many years, and I don't know what you're doing in the open and in the dark! I've given you the money, and you're going to be responsible! You have to get a refund!" he said louder and louder.
"Mr. Liu, we will give you an explanation, as for the loss you said......" Mr. Zhang tried his best to calm down, saw me walk in, and immediately said to me, "Xiaolan, Mr. Liu is angry about the magazine, you are the person in charge, hurry up and think about any good ideas that can make Mr. Liu dissipate." ”
"Mr. Liu, I'm really sorry! This issue is really ......" I haven't finished apologizing, and he can't wait.
"Shen Weilan, I trust you, so I signed an advertising contract with you, are you helping me to do publicity, or are you ruining our brand image?!I called you yesterday for a day, and you didn't hear it, okay, you!" The big white and tender basin face, because he spoke too hard, the flesh on both sides kept trembling.
"Mr. Liu, I want to explain this matter to you, I didn't mean to ......"
I was just about to explain, but he couldn't wait.
"You didn't mean it, I think you did it on purpose, you are a small clerk, play a big card with me! I eat more salt than you walk! Play with me!"
Without giving me a chance to speak, he sat on the couch in his office, his two legs open, his right leg on his left leg, and one finger dangled at me as if he was cramping.
"Mr. Liu, you are discouraged, Xiaolan, you are not right, how can you not answer the phone, this is disrespectful to the customer, you have to remember that the customer is our God." Seeing this scene, Mr. Zhang walked up to him and bent down to comfort him, while turning around and criticizing me with a serious expression. At this moment I realized,
"Mr. Zhang, I'...... It's me who is wrong. For the sake of work, for the sake of performance, I apologize again, "Mr. Liu, I'm sorry, please forgive me! "I chose not to explain and wanted to end this situation as soon as possible.
Mr. Zhang nodded at me slightly, and then looked at Mr. Liu cautiously. Mr. Liu didn't know if he was tired, or if he had accepted my apology, so he didn't speak for a while, picked up the cup on the coffee table and drank water.
"Look at this well, I will give you three consecutive interviews, and report your company in depth in our magazine, in the form of advertorials. "This is the solution and remedy that I think of when I find a problem," This effect is more impactful than a purely commercial advertisement, you can show your entrepreneurial experience and brand vision, so that readers have a deeper understanding of you, so as to shape your company's brand image in a more three-dimensional way. What do you think?" I tried to make the meaning clear.
"Mr. Zhang, do you see if you can support it?" I didn't discuss with Mr. Zhang in advance, so I can only cut it first and then play it at this time.
"Your magazine's printing level is too bad, how can I believe you!" Although Mr. Liu continued to express his doubts, his attitude had eased a little.
Magazines like ours, the boss has been published since 96, and everyone has heard of the glory of the past, and the previous merchants wanted to advertise, but the company was not large enough to pay for advertising. 1/4 of the small layout, no small thousands can not be held, let alone a good position, at that time the thickness of the magazine was equivalent to 3 times that of today. Profile interviews are generally conducted with influential figures in the industry, and ordinary small business owners are not taken into account.
The company's office was located in a landmark location at that time, so luxurious that the old customers of the past would talk about the envious light in their eyes every time they came, and they would also sigh for our current situation. Now that the Internet is developed, too many self-media have been overwhelmed, and we are still rushing around on the traditional old road, and we often have a sense of heroic end. The boss is older, in addition to what is important, only before the Spring Festival holiday and the start day of the company a year, usually almost no chance to see, daily affairs are handed over to Mr. Zhang, what is determined to innovate, keep up with the times such things are not seen, the cost of advertising is getting lower and lower, but the customers are getting fewer and fewer.
"Xiaolan, your plan is very good, I have no reason not to support it. In addition, let's make up two more issues of advertising. "I was really surprised by Mr. Zhang's determination to keep him. You must know that once this is started, the future policy can only become more and more relaxed.
"It's worth considering," Mr. Liu heard such good conditions, his face was a little happy, and he quietly took it back.
"Okay, that's it. Mr. Liu, don't mention the refund again. Tonight, we have a treat and give Mr. Liu compensation. Mr. Zhang smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Mr. Liu.
"Well, seeing that you are so sincere, I will reluctantly embarrass it. Originally, there was a party tonight, so I postponed it and left time for you. Miss Shen, you have to be a companion!" Mr. Liu smiled, and his big basin face showed two rows of yellowed teeth, and I saw that the oil on his face seemed to be glittering.
"Okay, I'll try to find my time. "I thought about going to the hospital, and I was a little absent-minded.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Liu, I have something to call, you talk first. ”
"Okay, there you go. Mr. Zhang said.
I nodded at them and walked outside the office.
"Mom, where are you now?" I dialed Mom's number.
"Xiaolan, we are already at home. Qiangzi saw that you were in a hurry to go out, so he asked the company for leave and took Chenchen to the hospital, the medicine has been changed, you don't have to worry. Get busy, be careful. Mom said.
It turned out to be my husband, and now it's okay. I took a deep breath and headed back to the office.
"Mr. Zhang, is Mr. Liu gone?" Seeing that the colleagues in the office had returned to their seats, and there was no one on the sofa of the reception, I walked into Mr. Zhang's office.
"Well, just left. By the way, you contact the printing house and talk to them solemnly, and you must ensure the quality of printing in the future, otherwise you will not cooperate with them in the future. If you have time, contact other printers to get ready. Mr. Zhang said.
"Okay, got it, I'll communicate with them. Who knows what's going on with them, one after another problems, the customer didn't care about the small mistakes before, this time it's so outrageous. If several other big customers also come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, how can we deal with it. "I can't help but express my inner worries.
"Let's deal with it one by one, try to keep it, now the advertising is not easy to pull, and the company wants to pay wages all counting on advertising revenue. Mr. Zhang also sighed.
"Well, what about tonight?" remembered Mr. Zhang's invitation to dinner, "Can I not participate?" "I want to excuse myself, but it's really hard to swallow when I look at that look, and I haven't had any energy in the past few days.
"Try to go, your customer, it's not good not to go. Mr. Zhang said directly.
"Okay, I'll go. I'm going to book a place now, a better private room. "For work, all for work, I told myself.
"OK, you look at the arrangement, book and send a message. Mr. Zhang took off his glasses and pinched his forehead.
I booked a place, asked Mr. Zhang for leave to go home to see my daughter, and rested for an afternoon.
Seeing that the time was almost up, I changed my clothes by the way, put on some light makeup, and set off for dinner.
As soon as I walked to the door, I received a call from Mr. Zhang saying that something happened at home and he couldn't come, and told me to entertain good people for him. Before I could react, it was already hanging up over there. I had some foreboding in my heart, but then I thought about it was just a coincidence.
When he came to the door of the private room of the restaurant, Mr. Liu had already arrived first and sat directly in the innermost position. I hurriedly went in and sat down closest to the door, and was about to call the waiter to come and order, but he had already ordered.
"Miss Shen, how long have you been in your company?" Mr. Liu began to chat.
"It's been a few years. I replied earnestly.
"Seeing that you are so young, you are the editor-in-chief of the company, you are really young and promising. "He was smiling as he poured me water, but he didn't look at me.
I was flattered by this sudden courtesy.
"I'd better come," I quickly took the teapot, "you're a guest, how can I let you serve me." ”
The moment I took the teapot, his hand accidentally touched mine, and I felt a little uncomfortable.
"Mr. Liu is young and promising, we are all hard-working workers, and we will do whatever the leader tells us to do. "I picked up the topic and wanted to liven up the atmosphere a little bit.
"Well, I'm a big boss, don't dislike it. He looked at me and smiled strangely.
"Why, you're too modest. "I really can't find the words to compliment him.
He never mentioned advertising.
"Mr. Liu, this meal should be a crime, please continue to take care of it in the future. "I get straight to the point.
"Miss Shen is too polite, let me say it bluntly, I chose your company to advertise at the beginning, and to be honest, there were several companies that made plans at that time, which was no worse than yours. He stared straight into my face and sat down next to my left hand side between us.
"Mr. Liu, don't be joking, this is not a joke, we have only met a few times. I said awkwardly and nervously, by the way
Leaned down to the right, keeping a distance from him.
"Look," he said, pulling out a red square jewelry box the size of a book.
I panicked and started sweating in my palms.
"Mr. Liu, what are you doing here?"
"I liked you the first time I saw you, and I was deeply attracted by your talent and temperament, could you please give me a chance. He suddenly became agitated and grabbed my hand. "This is my gift to you, a diamond necklace, a newly designed product of our company. ”
It was so sudden that I shook off his hand and jumped up.
"Mr. Liu, you should give gifts to others, please respect yourself, we are all people with families. I shouted.
He didn't seem to hear it, and stood up, this time putting his hand on my shoulder.
Completely enraged by his inches, I scolded sharply, "Mr. Liu, if you do this again, I will call the police and sue you for indecent conduct!"
"What! you're going to sue me!" he didn't succeed, a little angry.
"Yes! I respect you, but you are plotting against me! If you come again, I will call the police!" I opened the door of the box and prepared to leave.
"Shen Weilan, do you think Lao Tzu's money is easy to earn. I invested so much advertising money on you, and I didn't have a posture to accompany you to dinner. I don't know how many women want to please Lao Tzu and give you a shame. The customer is God, you don't even understand this, how can you come out and mess around!" He was angry, scolding, and had a disgusting face, which made people want to vomit.
"You're not God!! you're not worthy !!" I straightened up, turned around and threw a scornful look at me, slamming the door away.
