Chapter 34: Changes (1)

An Su did not know about the police department cracking the child abduction and trafficking case, because the holiday was not over yet, and she had already put in the intense work. Due to the delay in the past, as soon as she returned to the company, she began to work overtime to catch up with the design plan for next autumn and winter. She is glad that Jiya is a responsible person and has done a good job of product planning before leaving. Otherwise, the new commodity manager does not understand the company's products, and this part will have to delay time. It is a very laborious task to do new product design planning, color, product style, product structure, etc., Ansu repeatedly communicated with her design team one by one, and at the same time supplemented the missing categories of previous year's products.

After Xia Bizhu was rescued from the beggars who were under control, she went on a business trip with peace of mind. Without her to arrange lunch, Ansu was so busy for several days that she got off work at noon before she remembered that she didn't order takeout. For a long time, if it wasn't arranged by Bizhu, she would basically order takeout for lunch. In the past, when colleagues ordered takeout, they would always ask her if she wanted to order together, but since she was discharged from the hospital, lunch was arranged by Bizhu, and her colleagues did not ask her again. She couldn't help but think that it was good to have Bizhu by her side.

At the beginning of each season's development, Ansu always worked endless overtime, and when she assigned the task, she could finally catch her breath and let the rest of the design department take over. The entire R&D center was like clockwork and started to get busy. As the design director, Ansu is not idle, in addition to the control of the whole inventory, but also the development cost. Review the design draft, select fabrics, adjust fabrics to make boards, and review boards, and each item of safety must be checked and signed for confirmation. She basically entered the office in the morning and couldn't stop until she got off work, and it was no exaggeration to say that she was so busy that she didn't even have time to go to the bathroom.

During the day, he was busy with the development of new products of the C brand in the company, and worked overtime at night to design several dresses for Sun Jing, and sent the design draft to the other party's mailbox. After reading the design draft, she chose one of them and informed Ansu that she could start making zuò. In addition, she also needs a dress for the red carpet, she has her own ideas for this dress, she will sort out her thoughts with words and pictures, and then decide after communicating with Ansu when she goes back.

Xia Bizhu had been on a long business trip this time, and when she returned, it was the end of October, and Ansu, who was busy with the development of the new season, had only had a few meals with her friends during her lunch break, and did not contact her much at other times. And Xia Bizhu, who came back from a business trip, was not like looking for Ansu after work before. An Su didn't think much about this, she only felt that her brain and time were not enough now. When An Su was busy for a while, she finally remembered to have a good meal with her friends, but she found that she didn't know when Xia Bizhu was busier than her, and she asked her several times and said that she didn't have time.

She called Xia Bizhu for the first time and asked her to have dinner with her, but was told that she was going to have a regular merchandising meeting. An Su smiled sympathetically, she had seen the regular sales meeting of the marketing center, which was characterized by a long time, and the main element was complaining and criticizing. When she first joined the company, she was invited to participate because it involved the merchandising part. But for such a meeting, she was extremely disgusted. She hoped that the marketing center could provide valuable information for the product part, instead of blindly saying that the bad sales are our products, but not giving feedback on the shortcomings of the goods. Otherwise, it means that our goods are not sold and we need some actual goods, but we do not provide information about what kind of actual goods we need. When she first joined the company, she knew that the product had a lot to offer, and she wanted to get valuable information instead of listening to collective complaints at meetings. Ansu only participated in the regular meeting of commodity sales once, and in the future, whenever colleagues from the design department were invited to participate, she sent a design assistant to the past, telling them to only participate in the product part, and record the requirements made by the marketing center and give her feedback. She believes in the terminal information fed back to her by the commodity department, and the market research conducted by the design department on its own.

In the following days, Ansu asked Xia Bizhu to eat with Xia Bizhu twice before getting off work, but was told that she was not available at night. She couldn't help but wonder when her friend had become so busy. Next, Ansul began to prepare for the product development of the new season of ANN, which passed another two weeks. During this period, she barely had much contact with Xia Bizhu. Since the two no longer work on the same floor, they have only met a few times in the company, and they haven't even eaten together at noon.

The overall performance of brand C this autumn and winter is not good, compared with joining, direct sales are far worse. The new Chief Operating Officer has planned a series of initiatives to boost business growth. After the end of the first wave of activities, the sales of direct sales achieved good results. To this end, Hu Baichuan, the boss of the marketing center, asked the operation department to share his experience at this week's regular commodity sales meeting. Ansu was invited to attend this week's regular meeting, during which she noticed the changes in Xia Bizhu.

In the past regular sales meetings, the operation department was the protagonist of criticism. When the overall sales are good, because there is a franchise in front of them, in comparison, the sales of direct sales are worse, so Hu Baichuan inevitably has to criticize a few words, and then encourage a few words. Needless to say, when sales are poor, the marketing center is bombarded indiscriminately, and the operation department is the first to bear the brunt, and it is criticized every time. As the manager of the operation department, Xia Bizhu can be regarded as being scolded, never saying much, what to do and what to do. The supervisors below inevitably complain, often lamenting behind their backs that "the operation department is not biological".

At this regular sales meeting, the operation department finally raised their eyebrows, and the supervisors almost sang "turn over the serfs and sing". However, Xia Bizhu, as the manager of the operation department, does not seem to be interested, in the words of their salespeople, they just lack passion. Everyone thought that it was the new chief operating officer who suppressed her, especially when the new official first took office. Everyone began to speculate in their hearts that Xia Bizhu estimated that she would not stay in the company for a long time.

Ansu remembered some things about the night they chatted when she came back from a business trip. She remembered that she casually asked her if she had parachuted in an operations director, but she didn't let her go up, so why didn't she leave. Bizhu's answer was not that she didn't want to be the chief operating officer, but that she had other plans. She had doubts at the time, remembering Bizhu's busyness during this time. What the hell is she up to? If she is busy with work, now that her performance has gone up, there is no reason for her to look like this.

Is she ready to change jobs?

After the meeting, Ansu asked Xia Bizhu to have dinner together. As a result, Xia Bizhu said that there was an appointment. An Su whispered in her ear and asked her if she was in love. And she didn't smile at the side of her face, she just shook her head in denial.

The second wave of activities planned by the operation department is the Coat Festival of Brand C, and the supervisors have traveled to their respective jurisdictions, and Xia Bizhu stayed at the event of the city's flagship store this Saturday. Among them, there is a small catwalk, and the design department needs to cooperate with the catwalk costume matching part and the order part. The warehouse only sells or gives away jewelry, and other accessories for matching are in the design department, so in addition to the support of the design department, you also need to borrow accessories from them.

Two days before the event, Xia Bizhu came to the design department to find Ansu and asked her to arrange a designer to support the event on Saturday. Ansu immediately called a designer to come over, explained to her, and asked the assistant in the design department to manage the small warehouse to fully cooperate. After Ansu finished arranging, the two chatted.

"When you're done here, you should start working on Ann's side."

"yes, we have to start working on new products. Sun Jing's dress has come out, just waiting for her to try it on. She still needs to customize another piece, and has other requirements, saying that she will provide me with information, but she has been busy and has not yet given it over. What have you been up to lately? I've made an appointment with you a few times, but I said I wasn't available. ”

Xia Bizhu smiled: "It's nothing, it just happens that you are busy when I am free, and when you are free, I just have something."

Ansu obviously didn't believe it, and asked casually: "Then I'm free this Sunday, what about you?" ”

Xia Bizhu smiled and said, "I'm really not free this Sunday." ”

What An Su could think of was that Xia Bizhu was likely to be in love. So, tentatively asked if it was a date.

Xia Bizhu shook her head and told her that she was going to see the house. Ansu thought she was going to buy a house, but she sued Ansu because the landlord wanted to take it back, so she had to find another house.

Ansu said, "Don't look for it, just move to my house." ”

Although An Su said it very casually, Xia Bizhu knew that she was serious, and she continued: "You don't have to pay rent, just be a nanny for you, right?" ”

An Su laughed, "It's just cooking, cleaning, and cleaning." Don't you take care of the housework every time you come to my house? ”

"Think beautifully!" Xia Bizhu got up and gave her a blank look after speaking, and turned to leave.

An Su looked at her back and asked, "Do you want to accompany you to see the house?" ”

Xia Bizhu paused, turned around and threw an extremely charming smile at An Su, and then gently spit out two words: "Okay!" ”

Xia Bizhu's smile that was enough to turn everyone upside down, An Su had seen it countless times, but this time for some reason, An Su couldn't help but shake his head. The two words that came out of her mouth gently seemed to come to her face with a thousand kinds of style.
