Chapter 49: The Earthquake
Fast forward to May 2008, and the weather in Beijing suddenly became hot. Everyone thinks that this year's weather is a bit abnormal, saying that the heat is hot immediately, and it is hot and dry, which makes it difficult for people to adapt all at once. In the office, Jiajia stood up and ran to the company's freezer, took out an ice cream, and was just about to eat it, when Liu Li suddenly ran over and asked, "Sister Jiajia, is there anything else?" β
Jiajia looked at the freezer and said expressionlessly, "Oh, there are a few more." After speaking, he helped Liu Li take one out.
The two of them ate silently, Jiajia felt that the aura of the two people was obviously incompatible, and it was a little awkward to stand together, and was about to leave, but Liu Li suddenly spoke: "Sister Jiajia, what do you think of the man?" β
Jiajia was stunned for a moment, swallowed the ice cream in her mouth and said, "People? Not bad, huh? The level of professionalism is good, what's wrong? β
"Oh, it's nothing," Liu Li said with a moving heart, "I don't know the man well, but I heard that you and he used to be friends, so I want to hear your story and see how I work with him in the future." β
Jiajia was so angry with Liu Li's stupid lie that she almost laughed out loud, it turned out that in Liu Li's world, she thought that her relationship with men and men was very hidden.
Jiajia smiled helplessly and shook her head, "We don't have any stories, we are ordinary colleagues now." β
Liu Li asked reluctantly: "Can you tell me, what is the most romantic thing that a man has ever done for you?" β
Jiajia involuntarily popped up a few pictures in her mind: two people dragging four boxes on the road of the West Railway Station; In the cold winter, they supported each other and walked on the second ring road in the middle of the night; Two people, you pedal three wheels, I push the cart to sell mooncakes......
In an instant, Jiajia's eyes turned red. She was afraid that Liu Li would see it, so she quickly lowered her head and ate a few mouthfuls of ice cream, pretending to be icy, turned around and grabbed a few napkins and wiped her mouth, wiped her eyes by the way, gasped and said, "Ouch, I'm iced to death." She looked at Liu Li and said, "Liu Li, we don't have any romantic affairs, we have already ended, in the office in the future, don't mention these personal things, okay?" If you ask too many questions, everyone will wonder if you want to chase a man, right? Liu Li blinked her eyes wide, thinking that Jiajia was right, so she quickly shut up and didn't ask.
In the office, the man was writing a plan, and suddenly, he felt dizzy in his head. What's going on? I haven't written for a long time today, and I've only been looking at the computer for two hours, so why do I get so dizzy. He tilted his face and slowed down, and suddenly the dizziness was even worse, and the man almost threw up. He couldn't stand it anymore, and was about to stand up and move, but as soon as he stood up, he heard a loud bang from the glass door of Xiao Yiyun's office, and the door shaft was cracked.
Xiao Yiyun pushed the door and ran out, "Come downstairs, it's an earthquake!" Only then did the man react and ran downstairs with Xiao Yiyun.
When I ran downstairs, I saw that many people in the building had already run down, and it was really an earthquake! After wandering downstairs for a while, everyone returned to the office one after another. As soon as the man entered the office, Liu Li hurriedly ran over, "Husband, husband, look!" He pointed to the computer screen.
The man covered Liu Li's mouth and looked around, but fortunately there was no one. He lowered his voice and said, "Are you crazy? What is it called? If you do this again, I will resolutely not let you do it in the Lu brothers. β
Liu Li covered her mouth and nodded, pointing to the computer screen.
The man turned his head and saw that the news was broadcasting live "Wenchuan Earthquake Live".
"What's the matter?"
"There is a big earthquake in Wenchuan, a 7.9 magnitude earthquake!" Liu Li's eyes were full of horror. For people who don't have much experience, men don't know what this level means, "Oh, is it serious?" β
"Level 7.9!" Song Qian walked over at this time, compared the drawings with her hands and said, "The Tangshan earthquake was only 7.6 magnitude that year, do you say it is serious?" The man was shocked.
In the period that followed, the news was overwhelming to let the man know that this was not an ordinary earthquake, but a disaster. Looking at the ruined villages and cities on TV, everyone worries and grieves. A few days later, the National Earthquake Administration revised the magnitude from 7.9 to 8.0.
This sudden event changed too many things that were originally planned.
"It's over!" Victory suddenly shouted loudly. The man walked over, looked at the victorious computer screen and asked, "What's wrong?" "Look." Victory pointed to the news on the screen. Because of the earthquake, the country declared a period of mourning across the country β the document demanded that all entertainment activities be stopped, all films that were being shown and were about to be released were taken offline, and theaters were closed.
In view of the current situation, the Lu brothers finally made a decision to stop Director Ma's "Monopoly" comedy project and start another large-scale disaster movie "Earthquake" after urgent internal consultations. The company's decision is understandable to all, but it causes a lot of trouble for the advertising department.
The "Monopoly" project has already signed cooperation contracts with many customers, and now it has been abruptly suspended, and the Lu brothers are facing a major responsibility for breach of contract. But anyway, it happened, and they had to bite the bullet and explain it to the customers one by one. In the face of natural disasters, most of the customers expressed their understanding and support, and negotiated the termination of the signing contract, and only X Daily Chemical Company made Shengli at a loss.
Shengli sat at his workstation, holding his head with a sad face. The man frowned and thought about it, but he didn't seem to have any idea, so he gently patted Shengli's shoulder and said, "Brother Shengli, we really can't help it, let's report it and see if Mr. Lu and Xiao Yiyun can come forward to coordinate." β
Victory didn't move for a long time, and it took a long time before he sighed: "I have been with this customer for a long time, they are very rich, but the old woman in the marketing department is particularly difficult to do, this time it is not easy to get it, it is likely to open a big order in the future, and now a toss, this relationship will hurt, and it will be difficult to pick it up in the future." β
The man hugged his arms and thought about it, frowned and said: "But now they are so strong on their side, biting the contract to find a problem, we are really difficult to do, rather than such a stalemate, it is better to throw it to the company, even if it doesn't work, it is not the responsibility of our small department, so as not to really start a lawsuit in the end, Mr. Lu will definitely blame us." β
Victory closed his eyes and thought about it again, and said, "Well, that's the way it can be." He raised his head, "But, man, can you go and talk to Xiao Yiyun about this?" β
The man didn't think about it, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go now." With that, he turned around and went out.
The man came to the door of Xiao Yiyun's office, saw that there was no one inside, and turned around to see Jiajia.
"Jiajia, where is Brother Xiao?" Jiajia raised her head and glanced at the man, "He's gone to see the client." The man walked to Jiajia's partition, leaned over and said: "That's the case, Brother Shengli has a customer over there because our project has stopped, and we want to break the contract and pursue compensation, I talked to Brother Shengli several times, but it didn't work, I want Brother Xiao to think of a way to see if I can help coordinate it." β
Jiajia looked up at the man, her eyes full of vigilance. The man asked confusedly, "Jiajia, what's wrong?" β
Jiajia didn't speak, and thought for a few seconds before saying with a little mockery: "Haven't you always liked to eat alone?" All the business is hidden from Brother Xiao, and now you can't solve it before you come to complain? β
The man scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile, "This ...... I can't say some things, but no matter what, Brother Xiao is the boss, this is the company's business, and I also tried my best to persuade Brother Shengli to report this customer to Brother Xiao. β
The man thought that he could curry favor in front of Jiajia by saying this, but he didn't expect that Jiajia's tone was even colder, "I'll report to Brother Xiao, if we don't go, you still have to wipe your butts yourself." After speaking, he stood up and left his seat, leaving the man standing in a daze, thinking: Why is Jiajia so strange today?
The man didn't know, just a few minutes ago, Olive
I've also looked for Jiajia. Olive
He walked up to Jiajia with a smile and said, "Jiajia, where is Brother Xiao?" β
Jiajia looked up at Olive
, said: "He went out, it seems that he went to see the agency, what's wrong?" β
Olive
didn't speak, and seeing that there was no one around, he leaned down and whispered, "Do you know that X Rihua is going to sue us?" β
"What?" Jiajia was shocked, X Daily Chemical is not a small company.
Jiajia put down the pen in her hand and asked, "What's wrong?" Why? β
Olive
Seeing that Jiajia was so interested, she continued: "Shengli negotiated a big contract with others, and now the project has suddenly stopped, and the marketing department of X Daily Chemical has fried the pot, threatening to sue us if it is not handled well." βOlive
Acting deeply uneasy, "Our company is now in the listing counseling period, in this way, it may affect the company's listing, and Mr. Lu will not be crazy by then?" Whoever touches this will die. Jiajia was dumbfounded.
Olive
squinted at Jiajia, and whispered to Jiajia: "Jiajia, you have a good relationship with Brother Xiao, I sincerely remind you, Shengli is a very insidious person, and the man is his lackey, we have to guard against it." β
Jiajia looked at Olive
, as if suddenly remembering something, asked, "Olive."
, how do you know everything? Who told you that? β
Olive
Straightened up, patted Jiajia on the shoulder, and said proudly, "I have eyeliner." After saying that, he walked away quietly.
X Daily Chemical is a well-known washing and chemical enterprise in China, and its sales performance has been very good, with hundreds of millions of advertising expenses every year, which is the coveted object of all advertising companies. Their marketing director, Mona, is said to be the boss's lover, who has followed the boss for more than ten years, and is still "single" in her forties. Because of the misfortune of love and family, as she grows older, her personality and temper become more and more eccentric, and she often regards abusing Party B as the greatest pleasure in life. This time the "Monopoly" project triumphed hard to knock her down, and now she is suspected of breaking the contract, and she just fell into Mona's oil pot, how can there be any reason not to be played to death.
In the afternoon, as soon as Xiao Yiyun came back, Jiajia ran to his office.
"What's wrong, Jiajia?" Xiao Yiyun saw that Jiajia was in a hurry and asked in surprise.
Jiajia returned to close the door and put the morning Olive
What the man said to himself told Xiao Yiyun one by one.
Xiao Yiyun nodded slightly, did not speak, and after a while, raised his eyes to look at Jiajia and asked, "Jiajia, how do you think this matter should be handled?" β
Jiajia frowned, and said while thinking, "Morning Olive."
When I told me, I was a little suspicious that he was trying to sow discord between us and Victory, but when you think about it, that's really what happened. Jiajia lay on Xiao Yiyun's table and said, "Victory, they hide all the good things they have, they never tell us, they only think of us when something happens, why?" I don't think we'll leave them alone and let them deal with it themselves. After speaking, Jiajia was stunned for a while, and then said unconsciously, "I really didn't expect that Du Nannan has become insidious in recent years." β
Xiao Yiyun said with a smile: "People survive in this society, and they will change. With that, he leaned back in his chair, half-raised his head, looked at the ceiling, and fell into deep thought.
Jiajia looked at Xiao Yiyun, didn't know what he was thinking, and was about to open his mouth to ask, Xiao Yiyun suddenly sat up straight, and said to Jiajia firmly: "Jiajia, you go and tell the man and Shengli, we will have a meeting in a while to discuss countermeasures, this customer," Xiao Yiyun knocked on the table, "I'll talk." β
"Brother Xiao, ...... you" Xiao Yiyun's face was very firm, he looked at Jiajia and said: "Jiajia, no matter what the purpose of victory and the man is, after all, I am the general manager of this company, this is my responsibility, even if we feel risky," Xiao Yiyun sighed, "I am also duty-bound, because this is my job responsibility." Xiao Yiyun saw that Jiajia was still going to stop, and waved his hand gently, "Okay, don't talk about it, go and notify the meeting, I have my considerations and methods, let's go." β
Jiajia hesitated for a moment, oh, and reluctantly walked out of Xiao Yiyun's office.
Jiajia came to Shengli's workstation and said expressionlessly: "Brother Shengli, Brother Xiao has a meeting with you to discuss how to negotiate with X." β
Victory was just about to get up, when he suddenly frowned, clutched his stomach and groaned. Jiajia looked at the victory in amazement. Shengli raised his head and said to Jiajia apologetically: "Jiajia, I've had a lot of diarrhea these days. After speaking, he looked at the man and said, "All the men and men know about X, why don't you let the man open it, okay?" After saying that, he hurried to the toilet with his stomach in his hands.
Jiajia was stunned for a moment, and was about to open her mouth to shout when she saw Shengli go out, but the man spoke: "Jiajia, I'll go, I'm familiar with all the situations, let Brother Shengli rest for a few days." After speaking, he reached out and wanted to pull Jiajia's arm, but as soon as Jiajia turned around, he didn't let the man touch it, turned around and left first.
In the conference room, Xiao Yiyun had a lot of specific situations about X-day chemistry, and the men answered truthfully. Jiajia listened warily.
After listening to the man's speech, Xiao Yiyun frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly stood up and said to the man, "It's okay, I'll deal with it." You go and make an appointment with the client now, and we'll visit her tomorrow. The man nodded.
Out of the conference room, the man found a place where no one was and called to tell Shengli about the situation. Victory hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, I'm not going, I'm scared by that perverted woman." You go along, go and see what Xiao Yiyun has to settle it, whether it is uneven or not, we have something to say at Mr. Lu's. Shengli smiled, "The general manager you hired can't handle it, so you can't blame us." The man was just about to hang up the phone, and Shengli added, "Brother, don't say anything to the customer, okay?" β
"Oh, why?" The man was a little puzzled.
Shengli sighed and said, "You, don't wade into this troubled water, if you don't want to get into trouble, just listen to your brother, okay?" β
The next day, Xiao Yiyun took the man and Jiajia to drive downstairs to Company X. After the man reported to the front desk, several people sat in the sofa area of the front desk and waited for almost 40 minutes before being notified to go upstairs.
"Mo is always good!" The door was not closed, and Xiao Yiyun knocked politely.
Mona raised her head, looked at Xiao Yiyun like an alien, and said, "Are you the Lu brothers?" β
"Yes." Xiao Yiyun walked in as he spoke, and when he approached Mona, he stretched out his hand, "Mr. Mo, I am the general manager of the Lu Brothers advertising agency, and I came to visit you today." β
Mona stood up, as if she didn't see Xiao Yiyun's hand at all, turned out from behind the boss's desk, and asked with a slap on her face: "Is your company reliable, the contract you signed can be torn up, and you cheated all the way like this?" β
Mona walked out of the boss's desk, and Jiajia saw this woman clearly. She is actually quite tall, her figure is also very good, and her long-term maintenance shows that her skin is very delicate, if you look at it from behind, she is definitely a seductive beauty, but when she sees her face, she can't help but shiver. Because of her long-term distorted personality, her face and eyes are full of trickery and meanness.
"Mr. Mo, I think there must be some misunderstanding here." Xiao Yiyun always smiled, "You also know that no one expected the Wenchuan earthquake, the country is facing such a big disaster, and many things cannot run according to the normal trajectory......"
"Don't talk to me about this!" Mr. Mo sat on the sofa, stilted Erlang's legs, and looked at Xiao Yiyun contemptuously, "We are a business, understand?" I am responsible for my boss, and my plan to invest hundreds of millions of dollars a year was arranged a few months in advance. Mona raised her left hand and said as she calculated, "For your project, I have to arrange media placement, arrange event execution, arrange promotion cooperation, arrange product packaging design, how many things do you calculate?" Mona pointed angrily at the man, "The last time he came with that victory, he opened his mouth and shut up to ask me to understand the country's difficulties, saying that you are also victims, what big flag to pull for me, what big hat to buckle, how old am I to be a child?" I understand you, but who understands me? Neurotic bar! After speaking, he glared at Xiao Yiyun with a vicious gaze.
Xiao Yiyun looked at the man, pointed at the man and said with a serious face: "You guys, how can you talk like this?" We are an enterprise," after speaking, he pointed to Mr. Mo, "Mr. Mo is also an enterprise, and the enterprise is responsible for the interests of the enterprise, you don't want to think about how to help Mr. Mo handle things well, and make excuses when you come up, do you say that Mr. Mo can not be angry?" After speaking, he said to Jiajia, "Jiajia, go and pour a glass of water for Mr. Mo." Jiajia hurriedly went to bring Mr. Mo's teacup, poured water and brought it over. Mr. Mo was unceremoniously, took it, and took a sip.
Xiao Yiyun saw that Mr. Mo's mood eased a little, so he sat down next to Mr. Mo, and the man and Jiajia also sat next to him.
"Mr. Mo, I came this time to sincerely apologize to you." After speaking, she gave Jiajia a look, and Jiajia hurriedly took out a gift box from the backpack behind her and handed it to Xiao Yiyun. Xiao Yiyun handed the gift box to Mona, "Mr. Mo, I heard the man say that you have always wanted to go to France to buy that limited edition Hermes, it happened that my friend just came back from 'Lafayette', so he brought one, I said that he gave it to me, I brought it to you, you see if it is this." After speaking, Xiao Yiyun opened the box.
Mr. Mo's head didn't move, but squinted at the handbag, a glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, all of which were collected by Xiao Yiyun. Mr. Mo didn't touch the bag, just rolled his eyes and glanced at Xiao Yiyun, and said coldly: "Thank you, it's really heartfelt." β
Xiao Yiyun said while packing it: "I know that you have been in Company X for more than ten years and have been under a lot of work pressure. β
Mr. Mo ignored Xiao Yiyun, but shouted outside the door: "Little Sun! In a matter of seconds, a little girl ran in trembling. Mr. Mo looked dissatisfied, "Are you blind?" I'm a guest here, I don't know how many glasses of water to pour? β
Xiao Sun hurriedly turned his head and went out to pour water. After speaking, Mr. Mo said to Xiao Yiyun: "To be honest, can I not understand natural and man-made disasters? But this is not the way to deal with the problem, and if you want to fool the past with the phrase 'the country is in trouble', then why do you still need a contract? β
Xiao Yiyun hurriedly nodded and said, "Mr. Mo is right, no matter what time it is, you should protect the interests of the enterprise." Xiao Yiyun looked at Mr. Mo with approving, "You have been in charge of the marketing department of Company X for so many years, you must have seen your dedication and sense of responsibility from top to bottom, otherwise, this position is not easy to do." β
Mr. Mo seemed to have found a bosom friend when he heard it, and poured out with bitter water in his stomach, "Let me tell you, this job is really not done by people, they are staring at me up and down, and someone will prick a needle if there is a slight mistake." I have worked hard for so many years to protect the interests of the company, and there are still people in this company who make irresponsible remarks......"
Mr. Mo opened the conversation box and complained for a while. Xiao Yiyun is as serious as a primary school student listening to a class, and he interjects a few words from time to time. In the afternoon, the two of them didn't talk about the revocation of the contract at all, and they listened to Mr. Mo's complaints. The man secretly looked at his watch, he was about to get off work, he looked at Jiajia again, Jiajia was also a little unable to sit still, changing positions back and forth on the chair, but Xiao Yiyun sat steadily, motionless and listened to Mr. Mo's nonsense.
Mr. Mo finally said that he was tired, drank a few sips of water, took a deep breath, and felt much more comfortable. Xiao Yiyun saw Mr. Mo sitting on the sofa relaxed, thought for a while, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and said to Mr. Mo: "Mr. Mo, it's not early, you should get off work." After speaking, he stood up and stretched out his hand, "We won't delay you too much, chatting with you this afternoon, I understand that you have a lot of hardships, I will go back now and have a good talk with our boss to see how to compensate you and recover your losses." β
Mr. Mo stood up, held Xiao Yiyun's hand and said, "Well, you go back and discuss it with your boss, our X company is not a small company, and I am not unreasonable." Since we have sincere cooperation, of course, we have to take care of each other, and the key is the attitude of cooperation. β
Xiao Yiyun shook Mr. Mo's hand with a smile and said, "I understand, please believe that Mr. Mo will definitely be able to handle this matter well and not cause you trouble!" After speaking, he took Jiajia and the man out of the office.
Mr. Mo walked to the door and said to Xiao Yiyun: "Mr. Xiao walks slowly, I won't be far away." After speaking, he shouted at the office area, "Xiao Sun, didn't you see the guests leaving?" Go and send! β
On the way back to the company, the man turned his head to look at Xiao Yiyun and said happily: "Thank you, Brother Xiao, you can handle such a difficult person, it's not easy!" He gave a thumbs up.
Xiao Yiyun smiled and didn't speak, but Jiajia said to the man with a thorn in his words: "Yes, Brother Xiao knows that there are tigers in the mountains, and he prefers to go to the tiger mountains." Someone wants us to get into the mouth of the tiger, but unfortunately, we are Wu Song, specializing in fighting tigers. After speaking, he stared at the man with provocative eyes. The man knew that Jiajia was mocking himself, so he deliberately avoided her eyes, turned his head and didn't speak.
Xiao Yiyun ignored the two of them, and thought about things alone with his eyes closed. After a while, Xiao Yiyun suddenly opened his eyes and said to the man: "Man, man, you go back and help me make a plan, from the perspective of charity, see how the authorized resources of "Earthquake" are linked to Mr. Mo's marketing, and give me the planning plan." After speaking, he said to Jiajia again, "Jiajia, you sort out the resources we publicize, see which advertising resources are consistent with Mr. Mo's key markets, calculate the value, and send it to me." β
Jiajia nodded and said, "Are you going to sell the resources of "Earthquake" to Mr. Mo?" β
"No," Xiao Yiyun shook his head, "It's not for sale, it's for delivery." β
"Huh? Mr. Xiao, there's a lot of money, so it's free? The man couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Yiyun looked at the man and said with a smile: "Authorization, it is a zero-cost resource for us, even if it is sent, we will not lose anything." Xiao Yiyun took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, "This Mr. Mo is so strong, don't look at the good talk today, but if you don't give some real benefits, you won't give up." And it was originally our breach of contract first, and the compensation point resources were not excessive. He put on his glasses, sighed and said, "What's more, she does have a lot of money in her hand that we can earn, and we can only have a chance in the future if we maintain it for the first time." The man listened and nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yiyun was silent for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes again, looked at the man, and asked softly: "Man, do you know why you can't handle this customer?" β
The man looked at Xiao Yiyun, thought about it, shook his head and said, "I don't know, Brother Shengli actually has a lot of relationships, but this just can't be done." β
Xiao Yiyun smiled, he sighed softly, looked at the man and said, "Your brother Shengli is not a problem with the relationship, but there is a problem here." Xiao Yiyun pointed to his heart.
The man didn't understand, and hummed suspiciously.
"Shengli talks about cooperation with anyone, and he keeps thinking about his own interests, he doesn't know how to back down, and he doesn't know how to let go." As he spoke, Xiao Yiyun raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist in front of the man, shaking it gently, "Interests, sometimes, the tighter you clench, the faster you run." If you can't think from the opponent's point of view, your opponent will always be your enemy. After speaking, Xiao Yiyun soothed his tone and said silently, "This is not only in the business field, it is the same in many places. β
The man looked at Xiao Yiyun and nodded thoughtfully.
