Chapter Forty-Eight: Do You Want to Come With Me?
Early Wednesday morning, Cong Rong and Ye Keke said goodbye and hurried to her office in the heart of Sydney, where a new day was about to begin.
“As we all know that we just signed a big contract with a multinational company, Zhong Qin Piano. From now on, Cong, Anne, Christopher, Amelia, Bambi and myself will be working as a team to look after this key client. Cong will be the TL of this team and report to me directly.
Now, Zhong Qin is going to launch a new brand soon in Australia, and according to Xiao, the CEO of the company, they are in the final stage of signing a big contract with a famous Australian celebrity who is going to be the ambassador for their new brand, Schwartz - True Talent.
So, as soon as we get confirmation from them, our first job is to deliver this big announcement to the public. And we should cover both local English and Chinese market.
Now, I want to know all of us are confident and excited for this new project!
(I'm sure you've all heard that we at Maxi just won a multinational company, Zhongqin Piano, earlier this week.) From now on, Rong Cong, Anne, Christopher, Amelia, Bambi and myself, all of us will be building a team dedicated to this project. Cong Rong is the leader of the project team and reports directly to me.
Zhongqin is about to launch a new brand in Australia. Moreover, according to Mr. Xiao, the general manager of their Australia and New Zealand region, Zhongqin is currently actively signing a contract with an influential star in Australia, and pre-inviting this celebrity to be the brand spokesperson of their new product Schwarz-Zhenzi.
Their signing negotiations are currently in the final stage, and we will receive a confirmation from the Zhongqin side soon. After that, our first task was to convey the good news of the partnership between this celebrity and Zhongqin Piano to the public, which would cover the local market and the local Chinese market. )“
Jacob expressed the central idea of time constraints to the whole team at the beginning of the meeting, but the white manager spoke more reservedly, and was more attentive to the feelings of the team members, trying to focus on narrative and encouragement, and did not fully show his urgent state of mind in front of the team.
For the whole morning, she basically discussed with her boss Jacob and team members about the specific plans and arrangements after signing with Zhongqin Piano.
When it was time for lunch, Jacob decided to take a break and the meeting resumed in the afternoon. At the beginning of the lunch break, my colleague Anne was the first to rush out of the conference room and hurried to the elevator.
From waiting until the elevator stands still and the gate opens, in just a few tens of seconds, she is always staring at her mobile phone between the flow of people. But at the moment when the elevator was about to close, she raised her head and saw a back that seemed to be an acquaintance. However, Anne hurried to meet people at the café downstairs, so she didn't guess too much and continued to focus on her phone.
The other people in the conference room, including Cong Rong and Jacob, really ended the discussion at this time, and they all picked up their notepads and cups and planned to leave, when suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the conference room that had been opened, and everyone looked over together.
“Mr. Xiao! I am so glad that you come to visit our office again. I was just about to email you to give you an update. We just had a pretty good brainstorming session for Zhong Qin’s new brand “True Talent”. But since you are here now, let’s come to my office and have a chat shall we? Oh, you know what, how about lunch on me?
(Mr. Xiao, why are you here today!) I'm just going to draft an email to send to you. In the morning, our team had a meeting on the new brand that Zhongqin was going to launch, Zhenzi, and planned to make full preparations before the start of this campaign. Now, since you're here in person, why don't you come to my office and talk to me first? Or, simply, let's have a light lunch together? )”
As soon as Jacob saw that the person standing at the door and knocking on the door was actually Xiao Zhengyun, the coffee cup he just wanted to pick up was immediately put back on the table. As he walked up to Xiao Zhengyun, he said enthusiastically, and there was even some surprise in his tone. It can be seen that he has a very good impression of Xiao Zhengyun in addition to the good attitude that merchants should have towards customers, and his own impression of Xiao Zhengyun is also very good.
“Hi,Jacob. How are you? Thx for the offer, but I am actually here to see Ms Cong. But we can definitely catch up next time when I stop by Maxine&co.
(Hi Jacob.) Thank you for your offer. However, I actually came to find Cong Rong this time. Can I discuss this with you next time I come to Maxi? Xiao Zhengyun politely declined Jacob's offer.
He waved his hand at Cong Rong, who was still sitting at the table in the conference room, and said with a smile, "Are you coming?" (Do you want to come with me?) )”。 The words were asked, but as soon as the people next to him heard it, they knew that Cong Rong must have known Xiao in front of him as an old acquaintance, and it was very likely that they still had a very close relationship.
Cong Rong and Xiao Zhengyun walked out of the door of the conference room together under the surprised and slightly suspicious gaze of a group of colleagues next to them.
"Xiao Zhengyun, do you have anything to do with me today?" After walking out of Maxi s office, Cong Rong looked at Xiao Zhengyun with some confusion and asked, probably because in public, her tone was also a little cold and rusty, and she looked completely unfamiliar with you.
"Oh, Cong Rong, that's right, I see that you left a beautifully packaged box in my car last time, I am going to the airport in a while, and I happened to pass by here at noon, so I thought I would send it to you by the way. However, I kept calling you in the morning, but I couldn't get through. I don't think you're going anywhere else when you're at work, and it's almost lunchtime, so I'll come to you. Xiao Zhengyun explained as he pressed the downward button of the elevator.
Cong Rong only said thank you, and didn't say anything more. Xiao Zhengyun glanced at Cong Rong, who was silent, and did not speak again. The two of them just got on a crowded elevator one after the other.
The elevator stopped on the 10th floor, and a takeaway guy may have gone to the wrong floor, standing outside the elevator looking around, and holding a big meal bag, it looks like it should be full of food, and it also exudes an attractive aroma of rice from time to time.
Everyone knows that most of Sydney's food delivery people ride motorcycles to deliver food, and it is not easy to be exposed to the wind and sun. Therefore, when he stepped into the elevator, the people inside quickly moved him so that he could also take the elevator. After the delivery guy came in. directly stood by Cong Rong and Xiao Zhengyun's side. At this time, the available space in the elevator has become more and more limited, and it can only accommodate one extra person.
When the elevator stopped on the 8th floor, there were two people, a man and a woman, standing at the elevator entrance, they looked at the crowd in the elevator, and the little remaining space, and the two people looked at each other and decided to wait for the next elevator together. And just as the elevator door was about to close, a person suddenly rushed out of the elevator.
