17. Chapter XVII

17, I wanted to turn around gracefully, but unfortunately hit the wall gorgeously

Y brand special collection release: all set design, photographer booking, model casting...... It's all done by the event company. This is an event company that has cooperated with Jiang Yi many times, is very good at large-scale show layout, and has cooperated with many big brands, which is very professional in Jiang Yi's impression.

Now there are 22 days left before the event day, and if the event company lets go at this time, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for Jiang Yi and them. But as for whether it is just a small and controllable problem or a catastrophe, it needs to be understood before a conclusion can be made.

As soon as Jiang received the call, he immediately grabbed Nic and rushed to the office of the other party's activity company. Nic explained to Jiang Yi on the road that tomorrow was the day of the model primary, and he specially sent an email to the people of the event company to confirm the time and place, but he didn't expect Mary, who was in charge of the project, to reply to him on WeChat, saying that the time was going to be postponed, and they now have a big incident in the company, and they can't get away, and even whether the event can be held on schedule has become unknown. Nic asked the other party what was going on, and the other party flickered, so he called Jiang Yi.

There are indeed thousands of situations that can happen in an event, but Jiang Yi is really the first time to listen to such a general reason as "something big happened to the company". The contract was signed half a month ago, and it has been nearly a month since they knew about the project. Now that all the design clients have been approved, and Jiang Yi Company is their long-term partner, it may be an extreme situation to suddenly pick a pick. Her heart was already half cold at this time.

When he arrived at the event company, Jiang Yiyi wanted to ask the front desk to help call the project leader, but the front desk was empty. She called Mary, and it took a few minutes for the other person to hurry out with a dark cloud on her face.

"Mary, you know what I'm here for. This project is just around the corner, and we need to know what the situation is on your side. "Jiang has been running to the topic.

"Let's go to the conference room."

Mary led the two into the conference room, I don't know if it was past the end of work, the office was mostly empty.

Closing the door, Mary said, "Actually, I shouldn't say it, but we have been working together for a long time, and you are also very helpful at work, so I want to tell you the truth, so that you can prepare early." The director of our company suddenly left with a large number of people under his command. Your current manpower for this project is definitely not enough. We can't find people for a while, and some of the work may need to be taken care of on your side. โ€

"What are you kidding?! We've signed our contracts, and the model audition is tomorrow. Now where am I going to find someone to replace you? Who will bear the extra costs? You're not kidding! Nic couldn't sit still.

"That's not what we mean, we're going to do what we can. I can also go directly to the helper first without telling you about this matter, so that you don't delay this matter in private. โ€

"I still have to thank you for what you said, don't I?!" Nic rolled his eyes in anger.

"Not really......" Mary argued.

Jiang Yi spoke at this time: "Mary, please print out the Checklist (list) of our activities, and we will check them one by one, which activities need to be completed, which ones need to be completed, and which ones your company cannot complete." After the check, we will decide whether to hand over the entire project and you will pay the liquidated damages, or whether it will be partially handed over and partially refunded. Time is urgent, and trouble is exhausted. โ€

Mary nodded and exited the room.

Nic leaned into Jiang Yi's ear: "Don't you force them?" Is it possible that you are just too busy with the project in hand and ask us to pass the buck? โ€

Jiang Yi shook his head: "Do you think a company will use such a thing as the departure of a large number of employees as an excuse to shirk the project?" Word-of-mouth is not the first in any industry, let alone in our circle, where there are a lot of rights and wrongs. It is estimated that it is really a last resort, and this project seems to have not been promoted much except for design. โ€

"Ah......" Nic's face grimaced, "that's not ......"

Mary pushed the door in, and Nic was silenced. She gave Jiang Yi and Nic a list of everything that the event contained, from backdrops and catwalks to hangers and staff outfits. After twenty minutes of checking, as expected, except for the confirmed design and the casting that began to be arranged, most of the rest of the construction parts were not carried out. Mary said they could only arrange flowers, food, and small items. As for the construction of big projects, including the most important catwalks, they couldn't follow up.

It's like a bolt from the blue. Originally, they were only responsible for media and KOL invitations, but the team was already under a lot of pressure due to the required attendance, and now that they have built such a big basket, it is really unknown how to fill it.

Jiang Yi folded the list and put it in his bag, and said to Mary, "I can't confirm with you that the main building can be done by someone else right now." Please continue to look for candidates and suppliers, after all, this is within the scope of your contract. Of course, we are not inconsiderate of your situation. We're going to try our best to find a company that can do the main build, but you know it's very unlikely that you'll be able to do the main build. I hope you are ready to do both, and we are always ready to communicate. โ€

Out of the office of the event company, Jiang Yi and Nic said: "This matter is known to the two of us for the time being, and I don't want to spread the โ–กโ–ก when the shape is unclear." Now you are in our group asking everyone for the contact information of the event company, but there is no need to mention it. When you get in touch with the new event company, you tell them the time of the event and our needs, saying that we have all the designs in place and we just need to build them. Let's see if it can be resolved tonight. โ€

"Okay, first sister."

Jiang Yi bought a bento box at home, and when he got home, he began to look through his WeChat address book, sorted out the words that he wanted to give to Nic to the event company, and then found out the contacts of all the event companies in the address book, and sent them out one by one.

solved the lunch box and browsed the comments on the official account, and Jiang Yi got replies one after another. It's either a time conflict, or there is not enough manpower, so it can't be counted as unexpected by Jiang Yi. It is the time of spring, and brands will choose this kind of good weather for activities. Although there are countless large and small event companies in Shanghai, there are not many that have really cooperated with each other.

In the WeChat group, Nic, the activity company provided by everyone, contacted him, and the feedback received was not too much. The activity is not small, and the other party would rather not take the risk of smashing it. What's more, the design of this project has already been done, and it is purely a construction work, with a thin profit, and it is not very interesting to put it in the resume.

Jiang Yi then asked Tang Yi if he had a good activity company to recommend, and the contacts she sent were similar.

Yi: "There are no new ones, and people don't use them very often?"

Tang Tang: "I haven't used it myself, and I don't dare to recommend it to you."

Tang Tang: "What's the hurry? They all came to ask me!"

Yi: "No one has done anything to build a new product launch."

Tang Tang: "What?! Isn't it just about 20 days?"

Yi: "Smile emoji"

Tang Tang: "Then I'll help you send it to Moments to ask!"

Yi: "Don't say I'm here to do the company. I have to keep your business a secret."

Tang Tang: "Understood!"

I sent dozens of WeChat messages in one night, made countless phone calls, and found nothing. Jiang was so heavy that he seemed to fall off, lying on his back on the bed, his legs out, physically and mentally exhausted.

When such a problem is not solved, she always hopes that someone can help her. Or, it is to tell her that there is no point in saying "there will be a solution". Only at this time, she will feel that the relationship sometimes has the necessity of saving zร i. Although the two of them are troublesome, they have a good idea.

There are too few people who can take care of her. It's also the relationship of her personality, to be strong, deliberately avoiding further heart-to-heart exchanges with people, plus the lack of time for in-depth communication...... At the end of the day, there are pros and cons to whatever lifestyle you choose.

Putting away the messy feelings, Jiang Yi knew that she couldn't get a good answer tonight, so she went out and took a taxi to the hospital. After visiting hours, the night nurse did not let her in, and it was not until she said that she only glanced at her at the door of the ward and left immediately, and the nurse reluctantly agreed.

Jiang Yi walked to the door of the familiar ward and looked in through the small window in the square, the person lying on the bed was as peaceful and isolated as ever. She pressed her fingers to the cold glass, as if she could caress the patient's face, and for a moment, she sighed and lowered her hand. Left the hospital.

It's like torture and solace.

This night, Jiang Yi just needs to see a familiar face and tell her the meaning of the beginning.

The next day, Jiang Yi arrived at the office and was about to hold a meeting to tell the relevant colleagues in the team the unfortunate news, but received a call from Tang Yi.

Fang picked it up, and heard her voice an octave higher: "Praise me!" I've got someone for you! โ€

"You're awesome. Which one? โ€

"New company, Zhang Ye's."

Zhang Ye was very familiar with the name, Jiang Yi rolled around his tongue and said, "Zhao Zheng's friend? Does he run an event company? โ€

"It's not an event company, they do construction, they used to do large-scale construction, so I didn't think of him at first. As a result, I posted it on Moments last night, and he replied to me. They just started building the show a few months ago, so the schedule is not very full. โ€

"Girl, I'm going to build a catwalk, can he meet our design requirements?"

"Don't pick and choose. I've seen photos of his previous projects and think it's okay. I told him to make an appointment with you, and you can meet him, and you have a bottom in your heart. โ€

Jiang Yi sighed, he was really a dead horse and a live horse doctor: "Come on, then you can ask him if he is free to come to our office today, the sooner the better." โ€

Zhang Ye was very fast, and within a few minutes, he added Jiang Yi's WeChat and came over at twelve o'clock. Jiang Yi didn't know the bottom in his heart, so he only told Nic that he wanted to meet an event company in the afternoon, and there was a schedule, but the background was not clear, so let him come to the staff together.

At half past ten, the original event company brought the models to their office for casting. This is always everyone's favorite link, male models with good looks, long legs, and different styles are gathered together, who still has the heart to work?

The small room with the special collection of samples was crowded with people, and in addition to the colleagues in charge of the project, there were many more people who volunteered to help. Jiang Yi was not in a hurry to go in, and when the male models had changed their clothes and started to walk the stage, she took the notebook into the room. Year by year, the faces of male models are also changing, and what remains unchanged is human hormones. She likes this posture of choosing a concubine, even if it's just a false gesture.

Each male model has to take a few sets of photos, and when it is almost lunchtime at the end, my colleagues will fix all the photos on the board with pins, and wait for everyone to empty them before casting. After the models finished their work, Mary of the event company took them out with them, attracting countless eyes along the way. As soon as Jiang received the front desk WeChat saying that someone was waiting at the door, guessing that it was Zhang Ye, he walked out with their crowd.

When Mary saw that Jiang was there, she chatted with her a few more words, and led the fresh meat team to the front desk. Mary said goodbye to her, and the fresh meat also said goodbye to this seemingly powerful caster one by one, and some enthusiastically shook hands with her and threw flattery at her. Jiang Yi always kept a smile and sent them away.

At this time, she turned her head to look at the rest area, intending to invite Zhang Ye into the conference room.

As a result, the first thing I saw was not Zhang Ye, but the ...... sitting next to him Zhao Zheng.

At this moment, the man really looked at her with meaningful eyes.

"Jiang Yi, Yanfu is not shallow." Zhang Ye got up, put his hands in his pockets, and smiled slightly.
