13. Chapter XIII

13. Don't take other people's words too seriously, after all, everyone is just talking

"Next month, the Y brand's SpecialCollection launch event will be held, and the customer side has no comments on our campaign proposal. Jiang Yi, you team this project is going to be closely watched. The contract period with the Y brand is approaching, whether it can be renewed or not, the table of this activity is very important. ”

At Monday's morning meeting, Superintendent Maggie was highlighting each group's near-term priorities. The conference room was full, there weren't enough seats, and the interns and ACs stood on the periphery and listened. Maggie holds a notepad in her hand, her nails are in the most popular RoseQuartz and Serenity colors, and her clothes are new ready-to-wear from Saint Laurent.

"Jiang Yi, tell me about the pitch situation of our new customer last week."

Maggie suddenly called her name, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Yi. As usual, Jiang Yi can do it seamlessly, she is a person who is always ready, especially at work. But this time, everyone didn't wait for her to speak.

"Jiang Yi?" Maggie spoke again, and Jiang Yi woke up from a dream to find that everyone was watching her.

"Jiang Yi, the pitch situation of the new customer last week." Maggie still maintained an elegant smile, and her tone was not half impatient.

Jiang Yi immediately changed into a professional smile and answered: "Thank you very much Maggie and everyone in our team for their hard work, last week we went to the client's office to do the second round of competition, and the client's on-site response was very good, and some specific ideas for our event planning were appreciated." We should be able to know this week or next week whether to enter the final round of the competition, during which our team will prepare some materials related to the customer, the latest information to send to the customer, showing that we value the customer enough. ”

"Well, that's a good idea. This client is helpful both at the company level and from the personal work experience of each of us. I think our proposal and team have an advantage, and I am confident that we will make it to the final round. Maggie encouraged her before moving on to the next topic.

Jiang Yi maintained the curvature of the corners of his lips, but his thoughts drifted away unconsciously.

That day, he stayed in the amusement park until the night, and Tang Yi and the group of men who were not small had a lot of fun. A group of people played all the difficult events, such as the big pendulum, the Blue Moon Speeder, the Heaven and Earth Heroes, and the like. Zhao Zheng accompanied Jiang Yi to watch Wu Haoran, a self-proclaimed tough guy, come down and vomit in the trash can, lose playing rock-paper-scissors and be driven to take the children's train...... And, take Jiang Yi to seriously play some extremely childish games, such as hanging dolls.

Jiang smiled that he wanted to use such a gadget to win their bets, and his answer was four words: water drops and stones pierce.

Maybe Jiang Yi didn't believe anything else, but she did believe these four words. What kind of person is she? She's a man in the dust. Before she came to Shanghai, she had never seen LV's full name, let alone the correct pronunciation. She doesn't understand this world of flowers at all, she is ignorant and fearless, and she tries her best to learn, even if she follows her example. She only knew that other people's starting lines had already thrown her 108,000 miles, and if she didn't do her best, then she wouldn't even be able to touch other people's starting lines.

Jiang Yi and Tang Tang said that most of the people in this circle who mix well are two kinds of people. The first type, won the "ovarian lottery", was born to win at the starting line, like the director Maggie, Chinese-American, her mother used to be an influential model in the fashion industry, inherited her beautiful appearance and her mother's connections, and naturally mixed like a fish in water; The second is to be pressed to the corner by the intertwined life of dogs, and if you don't practice, you can't get a whole corpse, just like Jiang Yi, you can't live without getting a salary for a month. Tang Tang said that she was exaggerating, and Jiang Yi smiled. Fight or fall, she will never choose the latter.

Zhao Zheng, this man, I'm afraid, is the same kind of person as her.

Agreeing to the gamble was almost an inner impulse, after all, what was there to fear for her?

It's just that she's already a little restless after just a week, which doesn't bode well for winning.

Jiang turned the pen in his hand and rushed to the manuscripts of the official account and magazines at home on weekends, which was extremely inefficient. I always inexplicably think of the scene in the amusement park, the candy that Zhao Zheng handed her, the hand covering her eyes in the haunted house, and the cute bear doll on his shoulder...... I finally forced myself to concentrate, and when I got up after writing the article, my vision was occupied by the big bear and the friends who were hung out of the crane machine. It's really something that is useless and discarded.

The main reason is that Zhao Zheng has not looked for her since the amusement park separated. She shouldn't have cared about it, and it's not a relationship that she wants to go to, however......

I swore that I started the gambling game, why didn't I make a move?!

It's like two sides going to war, and one side shouts at the head of the city, "I'm coming!" I'm going to go on a rampage! You wait! I'm going to win! "Shouting is very serious. As the other side, Jiang Yi was of course fully armed, the archers were arranged, the city gate was reinforced, and all the offensive and defensive weapons came out, standing on the city tower and waiting for the other party, but the other party did not appear!

It's so annoying.

At the end of the morning meeting, everyone dispersed like birds and beasts, and Jiang Yi was about to leave the conference room, but was left behind by Maggie.

Closing the door, there were just the two of them in the conference room. Jiang Yi suddenly cheered up the spirit of 120,000 points, the boss chatted privately, and there must be a cat.

"Jiang Yi, we haven't chatted in a while. Have you been working well lately? "A few polite words are inevitable at the beginning, and the important matters of the project will always give the director a purpose, whether it is smooth or not, can she still know?

"It's quite smooth, after all, our relationship with customers has always been very good."

"Well, I'm still very relieved that you do things." Maggie pauses at this point: "One thing you may not know, Betty from the fashion group is pregnant, and I guess she will probably go on maternity leave after a while." The headquarters will definitely release an additional position of SeniorAccountManager, which is rare. When the opportunity comes, take advantage of it. Winning new customers will be a big plus for this performance evaluation. ”

Coming out of the conference room, Jiang Yi looked as usual. It's just that she knows in her heart that Maggie has thrown her a problem. The new client is obviously also very important to Maggie's performance appraisal results, so important that she does not hesitate to throw away the promotion opportunity of SAC to tempt Jiang Yi. To put it mildly, that is, he hung a carrot in front of the donkey, so that the donkey thought that he could get it, so he tried his best to move forward, but he didn't know how much it cost to eat this radish.

Something similar, Jiang Yi estimated that Maggie had also said it to others. In terms of qualifications, Jiang Yi has little chance of winning among these people. After all, she has only been in this industry for more than four years, and her promotion to the position of account manager is already very fast. Jiang Yi didn't care how true Maggie's words were, but she was woken up. Since the company attaches so much importance to this new customer, seizing this customer is equivalent to grasping the key to promotion. Looks like she's going a little bit more work.

Before getting off work that day, Jiang Yi almost inquired about the background of the client's public relations person in China. Although the final decision to hire Party B lies with the brand's French headquarters, the person in charge of China is the key to the whole case. The only publicist hired by the headquarters in mainland China is a celebrity agent, and he got this position by relying on his good relationship with artists, after all, star effect is the fastest way to expand brand awareness.

It's not easy to get a broker, and a good broker is more capable of fooling than public relations. Jiang Yi was interested. Then it will be, see who is more capable.

Jiang Yi called his agent friend and asked her to help form a bureau and make an appointment with the person in charge. This friend is really capable in the circle, and the time is set for this Wednesday. If there is any problem with the final round of the draft, there will be time to deal with it.

At seven o'clock, Jiang Yi's mobile phone rang. She was checking the numbers in the report, so she left it alone, concentrating on checking the phone messages until she was done.

A missed call from Zhao Zheng.

Oh, the enemy who shouted to kill them has finally arrived, and this running speed is really, slow enough.

Jiang Yi dialed the phone back, and waited for half a minute before the other party picked it up.

"Hey."

"Hey. Long time no see. He said.

"Soon, just a week." Jiang Yi put on headphones and began to read the email that had just come in when he replied.

"You've counted the days."

His tone was brisk, Jiang Yi was slightly stunned, yes, you really can't do two things on the phone with this person.

"What's the matter?" She asked.

"Are you working overtime today?"

"This gentleman, it's basic etiquette to make an appointment a day in advance."

"Did I say I was going to ask you out today?"

"......" Jiang Yi smiled instead of being angry, "Well, it's funny." I hung up. ”

"I'm sorry." Zhao Zheng immediately spoke, "Actually, there was a sudden problem with a project last week, and I went on a business trip to City C, so I didn't contact you." ”

"I didn't ask you."

"It's me who wants to explain. Miss Jiang, who has a lot of opportunities, can I watch a movie together this week? ”

"This week...... Not available. ”

"When are you free?"

Jiang Yi played with the mug in his hand, and printed a few capital English words on it: IFNOTNOW, WHEN (not now, but when)

"Now."

Twenty minutes later, Nic saw Jiang leave the office with a pair of suffocatingly beautiful burgundy JimmyChoo and ChanelLeBoy on his shoulder, leaving behind an extremely chic back.

Nic patted Amy, "Honey, my watch isn't broken, is it?" It's only half past seven now, and the first sister will get off work? ”

Amy cupped her chin: "I can't believe my eyes. Did you just answer a date call? She doesn't usually carry Chanel's. ”

"There is a situation...... Was it the Land Rover man who came to pick her up last time? ”

"How do I know! Stop gossiping, be your PPT, 'cousin'! ”

Nic rolled her eyes, "You're no better, 'cousin'!" ”

Jiang went downstairs and did not forget to check his makeup and clothes from the mirrored walls in the elevator. The elevator door opened, and she raised her head slightly and walked out.

At the door, Jiang Yi quickly caught Zhao Zheng's upright posture. He must have seen her too, and walked towards her.

"Very punctual." She said.

"Good habits." Very bland boasting.

He immediately noticed the shoes on her feet: "It suits you perfectly." ”

"You have a good eye." Very bland compliments.

The two of them walked to the movie theater upstairs in Westgate Town, Zhao was collecting tickets at the electronic ticket machine, and Jiang Yi was three or four steps behind him, waiting to admire his back. She really wants to come in the summer, this man should look better in a T-shirt.

"Do you want popcorn?" He took the movie ticket, turned around and bumped into her naked/naked gaze, raised his hand and rubbed the top of her hair, this girl......

"Coke popcorn is standard. I please. ”

Entering the theater, Zhao Zheng walked behind Jiang Yi, she stepped on high heels and was blinded by the black light, and her steps were very steady. Jiang Yi chose an American blockbuster and wanted to bring 3D glasses. Zhao Zheng didn't find this choice strange, he didn't expect Jiang Yi to like to watch domestic romance movies, but fortunately she didn't choose romance films.

The popcorn was placed between the two, and there was no extra movement in the hands of the two people, even if they were holding the popcorn, they didn't touch each other.

The routine of American blockbusters is nothing more than heroes and beauties, heroes save the world, and by the way, they get the beauty home. From the middle of the movie to the second half, there is always a scene where the hero and the beauty are in love and need to be reviewed.

Jiang Yi leaned over Zhao Zheng's ear at this time and said, "Do you know why I watched American blockbusters?" ”

Zhao Zheng turned his head to look at her a little stiffly, and dimly illuminated the naughtiness on her face: "To see your embarrassed expression." ”
