After a week of rest, Linda's body gradually recovered, and she started to work at the end of May.

When Linda arrived at the office, she went straight to Terry's office to say hello, "Good morning, Terry. ”

"I'm back, please take a seat. Seeing Linda coming, Terry hurriedly greeted.

After Linda sat down in her chair, Terry asked Linda, "How's it going, is she in stable shape?"

Linda replied, "After a few days of bed rest, it's much better. “

Terry said: "When you come back to work, you still have to pay more attention and don't get too tired. ”

Linda said, "Okay, thank you Terry for your concern. ”

Terry nodded and said: "I came back just in time, I want to communicate with you about a project, there is no mature e-commerce shopping festival in China at present, I want to create a shopping festival that belongs to EB, the most influential shopping festival in China." ”

When Linda heard this, she thought it was a very creative project: "There are very mature cases of similar shopping festivals in the world, such as Black Friday, last year EB USA alone set a record of more than $100 million in sales on that day. At present, the public's awareness is not enough, only people in the marketing circle are familiar with it. The idea is truly brilliant. ”

Terry continued to analyze in depth: "Yes, I hope to cooperate with several other business units of EB China to do the most with the least amount of money, so as to maximize the volume, influence and sales." “

Linda agreed: "Well, in terms of this year's financial report, although the group still maintains a growth of 48%, we have a growth trend of less than 35% in the Chinese market in the first year. If you want to hold this shopping festival, online and offline linkage, the project cost is estimated to be a large project of tens of millions. “

Terry said: "I am very optimistic about this project, which will be a milestone for EB China and our team. In the whole department, you have been responsible for strategic projects in the past, and you are the perfect choice in terms of experience and ability, so I specially communicated with you today and hoped that you would be in charge of this project. ”

After thinking about it for a moment, Linda replied: "Thank you very much for your trust and recognition, I am willing to be in charge of this project, but you also know that I am now three months pregnant, and I had a miscarriage last year, I am worried about whether my body can eat enough, in case my physical condition does not allow it in the follow-up process, it may affect the project." ”

Terry pondered for a moment and said: "Yes, I have already considered the problem you mentioned, and I hope you can be in charge of this project if your physical condition still allows, and at the same time, it is recommended to choose a department colleague to assist you, and let you share specific transactional work, so that you can concentrate on managing affairs." “

Linda nodded and said, "Well, that's a pretty good idea. ”

Terry then asked, "Do you have a suitable person to suggest?"

Linda thought for a while and said, "I can let Muzi give it a try, she has not been in the department for a long time, but her overall performance is remarkable, and she is also smart and down-to-earth." ”

Although Linda's answer was exactly what Terry wanted, Terry still pondered for a moment before nodding: "I also recognize Muzi's work during this time, you suggested that she assist you in promoting this project, I support. ”

In fact, Terry guessed that Linda would recommend Muzi early on, and it was just a good thing to do, of course, even if Linda didn't recommend Muzi, and then he himself recommended the final result was the same.

Linda nodded after hearing this and said, "Understood, please rest assured Terry, at present, as far as my physical condition allows, I will try to move this project forward with Muzi." ”

Linda understands that although there are about 20 people in the department, there is no one who is very suitable to take over the project, and the Allen team must be impossible, and Joanna's promotion is actually not what Terry wants, and the relationship between the two has been polite and distant since the promotion.

"Then we can communicate directly with Muzi now, okay?" Linda suggested.

"Yes. Terry agreed, and then directly dialed the inside line of the secretary Cherry: "Cherry, please ask Muzi to come to my office." ”

Muzi received Cherry's notice, hurriedly put down the report in his hand, and got up to go to Terry's office.

Muzi came to Terry's office and took a seat.

Terry said straightforwardly: "Muzi, the company plans to hold a shopping festival marketing event in the near future, and it is still in the early stage of planning. Linda will be in charge of the project, and given the importance and complexity of the project, Linda recommends that you assist her in this project. Linda recommended you to me because she recognized you. Of course, I also agree with Linda and think you are the right person. ”

Is it related to what Terry asked me to post on BBS yesterday? Muzi thought to herself, didn't Terry tell herself yesterday that she wanted to participate in this project? Why did you say that it was recommended by Linda today?

Although he was puzzled, Muzi didn't ask on the spot, but replied to Terry's words: "Thank you Linda for your recommendation, and I'm very happy to be recognized by Terry and Linda, and I'm willing to assist Linda in this project." He glanced at Terry.

Terry saw Muzi's puzzled expression, and saw that Muzi didn't say anything after all, it seemed that it was indeed exquisite, and Terry secretly approved.

Then Terry explained: "This project is still in the preparation stage for the time being, so the information is still in the stage of confidentiality to the outside world, except for the three people in this office now, don't disclose it to anyone else." ”

Linda and Muzi nodded in agreement.

Terry asked, "Do you have any other questions about the project?"

Linda thought for a moment and said, "I'm worried that each business unit will have a variety of ideas, everyone is a good person, and it is difficult to reconcile the people, and it will be difficult for the project to move forward smoothly." For example, supplier selection, budget, specific design plan, slogan, etc., each link may be difficult to decide, and it is best to set the rules at the beginning. ”

Terry agreed: "This project must not be easy, we need to build a cross-business virtual team, establish the rules of the game that everyone agrees on, and jointly promote this project, you will draw up a list of participating teams and personnel for me as soon as possible, is there anything else?"

Linda added, "When do you expect this event to land?"

Terry affirmed: "The sooner the better, and hopefully it will be on the ground in three months at the most." ”

Linda nodded, "Okay, let's draw up a schedule first." ”

Terry said: "I've been in contact with Peter (VP of EB China), Jane (VP of EB China) and Alex (VP of Global Marketing & Purchasing, EB), and once they approve it, the project can be started quickly. ”

"Okay. Linda and Muzi replied.

After the meeting, Linda went to the pantry and heard several colleagues from other departments chatting: "That post on our BBS has been really popular in the past two days. ”

"Yes, the Chinese economic crisis in 08 has really brought about this year's lipstick effect, you see, how enthusiastic everyone is about the shopping festival. ”

"Who says it's not, not only our BBS, but now all online websites and forums are discussing crazy, public opinion is so high, everyone's demand for online shopping is so strong, which company stands up first to make a shopping street is the first person to eat crabs. ”

"That's right, we at EB China should take advantage of the situation. ”

"Yes, I also think we can do things at EB China. ”

"Yes, yes... ”

Linda naturally saw this post, Linda thought about it, as early as when the three people in Terry's office communicated about the project, she felt that Muzi didn't seem to be as afraid of Terry as before, and Terry's eyes on Muzi were not as completely businesslike for others, was Terry originally wanting Muzi to participate in this shopping festival project, or was all this just a coincidence?

Three days later, Muzi's post on BBS had more than 600 replies and more than 1,800 likes, making it the undisputed topic king since EB China established BBS.
