CHAPTER XXIV

On Saturday night, I received a notice from the company that Shanghai was going to hold the XX Food Exchange, and the news had not yet been officially released.

When I arrived at the office, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and the lights in the strategy department were on, and there were already more than a dozen people inside. This food exchange meeting is the first time for our company to participate in a large-scale food exchange meeting in China, and we attach great importance to it and ask us to do our best to do our best.

The strategy department organizes the overall affairs, Nantian himself serves as the team leader, my senior brother and I are his assistants, the food department is the main thing, and the business department and other departments are fully serving him. The dozen or so people in the group were assigned to work before I arrived, because I came from the strategy department, and I was in charge of making brochures and leaflets. The food exchange was held a month later, and it was still in the topic selection stage.

Gao Xiang is also in this group, and he was directly transferred back from Suzhou to be in charge of the traditional folk snacks of the motherland. Once again, we worked together and we were all very comfortable with each other.

"Actually, I feel that the topic of our last Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was very good, and this time we can follow this direction." Nantian spoke.

The plan for the brochure has been completed, and now I will choose the topic with a picture, and I have nothing to do for the time being, and Nantian also asked me to discuss it together.

"This food exchange is an international exchange meeting, and many countries send representatives to participate, so it is difficult for us to hit if we don't make our own characteristics. Although it will have an impact on our business in the future, it is very difficult to do well. Said a colleague from the food department.

"In fact, we do nothing more than two methods, one is to eat on the spot, and the other is to take out. Now the main thing is take-out, you can not eat a lot on the spot, you can take out not necessarily, if you can sell it home to eat, there may be a lot of choices. ”

"Xia, why don't you speak?" Nanda saw me pondering on the side.

I shook my head, "I don't have a good idea right now. If it's Japanese food, there will definitely be other businesses to make it, and if it's Chinese food, there will be representatives from all over the country, and I haven't figured out how to get people to buy ours instead of theirs. ”

"It's okay, you think slowly." Nantian smiled slightly, and then continued to discuss with everyone.

Eating with the people in the group at noon, it was the first time they had met since Gao Xiang came back, but he had not changed. Gao Xiang is still the same, he doesn't like to talk, and he bows his head and eats violently when he orders. It's other people, chatting while eating, so it's not lively.

After dinner, I ran to the terrace on the 23rd floor to bask in the sun, I used to like to come here during my lunch break, and the feeling of looking down from a high place is very subtle. As soon as I went out, the phone rang, it was Su Mei, "Lao Bai, they are going to Shanghai next month, and I will go with them, and I will mess with you then." ”

Su Mei is coming to Shanghai, which is really good news, "That's good, I also said that this farewell will not be seen until May Day." When come, call me in advance. ”

"Of course, it's still too late for you to save money now, don't go and eat you poor when the time comes." Su Mei was smiling happily on the other side of the phone.

"As for it? The two of you will eat me poor, it's okay, I still have Daewoo if I'm poor, but this kid has been quite poor lately, and he always messes with me when he's fine. "I leaned against the railing, facing the building.

"When the time comes, bring that middle-aged uncle of yours out as well, and I'll see how about it?" Su Mei quipped, I can imagine that she is smiling now.

"I'm going to send you! Look at how positive you are. "We are used to making trouble, and we can tell which sentence is true and which is false.

"Forget it, I'm still hanging on to Lao Bai, if he doesn't want me one day, I won't be very sad." Su Mei's words were so calm that people couldn't tell whether they were joking or serious.

Turning off the phone, I closed my eyes, can I really not be sad? If you get along with it for a long time, you will have feelings! If I could say that I would divide it, I wouldn't be now. Su Mei, do I know you too well, or do you not know yourself?

For the next few days, I didn't see the cold face god, he didn't seem to be in the country, but his whereabouts have never been something I can control. We didn't speak on the phone, I didn't even know his phone number, and I wasn't sure how I felt about him. At least for now, I can still live without him.

A week later, the basic policy has been formulated, Nanda selected a few foods with local Japanese characteristics, and invited them to come to China to make and sell them on the spot during the exchange meeting, and selected a few kinds of Chinese foods, but they are not common in the market, but they are very distinctive.

"I heard that XX Company invited someone to be a Manchurian full seat." In our group, there is no lot of gossip, there is new news every day, there are few secrets in this line, and it is an exchange meeting, saying that there is not much competition and it is too fake, everyone wants to use this opportunity to launch their own brand and make their own name.

"It's too exaggerated to have a full banquet, but I heard that ZZ Company invited a royal chef from Italy to perform on the spot." Before we could digest the news, another came back.

After a while, everyone started to talk about it, and the work in hand was put down. Communicating information is also very important in our industry, and often everyone can get a lot of useful things in the process of chatting.

"How's it going over there?" I turned my chair and looked at Gao Xiang, who hadn't done that part yet.

Gao Xiang sighed, "The shopkeeper said that he was used to the things in the store, and he couldn't move them all over. He was afraid that it would affect the taste, and said that he would have to think again. ”

"Take your time, you can do it." gave Gao Xiang an encouraging smile, Gao Xiang also reluctantly replied to me, he has now entered the normal track and become the backbone of the marketing department, it is a matter of time and time, and the future is immeasurable.

"How are you and your girlfriend? I haven't seen her pick you up from work lately. "I spun around in my chair and said things that didn't matter.

Gao Xiang was stunned for a moment, "She, she has found a job now, working as a clerk in a garment factory, and she is too far away in the development zone, so she can't always come over." ”

"Oh!" I nodded, "When are you going to settle the bill?" ”

"I think so much there, I'm still young now, let's wait a few more years, and she's young, maybe a year younger than you, and it's uncertain now, who knows what will happen in the future?" Gao Xiang's words were a little helpless, and I also knew that reality can never be proportional to ideals.

"What about you? Still not looking for someone to settle down? Gao Xiang turned the topic to me, "I heard that Lao Bai is not chasing you?" ”

I burst out laughing, "Boss, Lao Bai is with Su Mei now, my friend!" Besides, we're rivals, can I take a fancy to him? Joke. ”

"That's Fang Zhongyu." Gao Xiang teased me, "Fang Zhongyu is not bad except for his temperament being more like a child. ”

"Okay, okay, don't give me a left and a right one. I'm not in the mood to fall in love right now, how good it is now, I can do whatever I want, and I don't want to mess around. I said to him in all seriousness.

"Lu Dong, when did you come over?" A voice sounded behind me, and I hurriedly stood up, and the cold-faced god stood behind me, and it seemed that he had been in for a long time.

"It's okay, I'll stop by and see how your exchange meeting went." The cold-faced god couldn't see anything else, and said calmly.

At this time, Nantian came in and went into the inner office with the cold face god. I always felt that what I had just said was heard by the cold-faced god, and I had a very strange feeling that I couldn't say it clearly.

The next day, I received a notice that I was going to Japan on a business trip because of the exchange meeting, and the Supplementary Food Department was conducting research on the products that I had set up for sale. There were two people in the line, Minister Wang from the Ministry of Food, plus one me.

In the evening, I was already sitting on the plane, and the Japanese company had already contacted someone to pick us up and fly directly from Shanghai to Nagoya. When I sat on the plane, I was already sure that the cold-faced god must have heard what I said, otherwise, it didn't matter if I didn't come out on this trip.

Cold-faced God, do you care much about what I say? I don't know the psychology of a mature man, the men I have dated, except for Gao Xiang, who is quite mature, are all people with the same heart as me, just like Fang Zhongyu. The feeling of being with Zhao Feng is now indifferent, saying childish words, daydreaming, how can I face a man like the cold-faced god? I don't know, and no one has told me.
