Everything is like a hazy and pure drizzle, illusory and ethereal. I originally thought that if we planted hope in the spring, we might reap the fruits in the fall.

However, it was an eventful spring, so much that we were caught off guard, and every step was carried with an irresistible fate.

At the end of March, the "fake" incident at the franchise broke FK's momentum.

A while ago, the door-to-door delivery activity of the outer model was hot, and the franchise store simultaneously obtained the mailing addresses of many customers, which also opened up new ideas for future promotional means.

To a certain extent, the cooperative franchise store accepts the operation and deployment of FK headquarters, and also has a certain degree of autonomy. For example, after the end of the headquarters event, some stores tasted the sweetness and continued to strike while the iron was hot, and launched the "Spring Grandpa" baton delivery activity, trying to continue the popularity of the previous issue, because all the ordinary handymen were invited, and they only needed to wear the clothes of a funny old man. FK was pleased with the active marketing of the stores, so they acquiesced to the event.

As a result, I was caught fishing in mixed waters, and it was revealed that the goods sent over were adulterated!

The customer questioned it strongly, and the ** department had to intervene in the matter, and the huge contrast between the before and after similar activities triggered media follow-up reports. In just two days, the cooperative franchise store, which was once labeled as a "lustful shop", has been transformed into a gathering place for fakes. In recent years, the speed at which the Internet has spread has been phenomenal.

Within an hour of the explosion, the attention of the Internet soared to the top 20!

Mr. Chen came back from the high-level meeting and said curtly: "It's really a big tree, and it didn't take long for a while before it was beaten down." According to the sales staff below, the customer traffic of the partner store dropped by 50% yesterday! ”

I said, "Could it be Lu Min's JL again?" ”

"Yes and what? You don't have proof. This time, we also blamed our poor supervision, allowing the opponent to take advantage of the loophole and adjust the package during the delivery. Or, maybe the delivery man adjusts the package himself. In short, the matter broke out, and the opponent bought the water army to continue to push up the negative information. We can't put out the fire in a while! ”

I was worried: "That...... Board ......"

Mr. Chen understood, "The responsibility must be put on Mr. Luo!" However, Luo always has his own way to deal with it. You don't have to worry. ”

The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and everything seemed to come together.

The "fake" incident is in full swing, and it was revealed that the whitening series of the GZ brand launched in the second half of last year was detected with excessive mercury. You know, this kind of incident is not handled well enough to bring about the collapse of the brand!

This series of negative events has given shareholders an opportunity to fall into the ground.

The GZ skin care brand is the main business of the group, and the franchise store also plays an important role in the company as the second echelon business, and the annual investment is also huge and amazing. The two major businesses suffered setbacks at the same time, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to FK and CEO!

At night, Luo Jincheng's tired and hoarse voice sank into his ears. Even if I have a grudge in my heart, I can't help but feel a slight pain at this moment.

I couldn't help but comfort: "You can be busy with you, I happen to have free time recently, you don't have to worry about the cemetery." ”

And this morning, the office went viral again, and Zhang Jingen came to Luo's office to drink tea again.

"The tea in the general office of Dare Qing Luo has a unique and pleasant aroma."

I don't know when Zhang Jingen came to visit FK twice in three days, and rushed into Luo Jincheng's office for a long time and didn't come out. The original normal meeting was described by boring people as an office tryst.

I knew that office gossip had always been unrealistic, but when I caught a glimpse of Zhang Jingen's graceful figure passing by lightly, my heart twisted together again.

In the evening, I intentionally asked him about this, and Luo Jincheng said lightly: "They have some channels in the surrounding neighboring countries, and they want to invite us to enter their channels." The company also has such a plan and is currently handling export filings. ”

I couldn't help but feel a little lost: "Then the Luo and Zhang families will have business dealings in the future." "Mrs. Luo is right, the Zhang family is becoming a loyal partner of the Luo family step by step.

I can't help but wonder how much the chairman hopes that the two families can form an in-law and deepen the relationship between the two families.

Luo Jincheng heard my strange emotions and comforted: "You don't have to think about it, business is business, feelings are feelings, how can they be mixed up." It's just that in the current situation, if you can buffer it with the help of external forces, it is a way. ”

If you don't mix things up, you can't make sure that your family doesn't push the boat down the river. How could I not capture the faint irritability in his words? The inner anger was even more uncomfortable, so he only said stupidly: "I don't want to, I just want to sleep now." ”

Originally, I wanted to ask the board of directors about the attitude and handling opinions of the two incidents, but I was blocked by this conversation and left it behind.

The next afternoon, Mr. Chen told me a shocking news. It turned out that FK had been trying to enter the three major chain systems in the two eastern provinces in the past two years, and the supply of these chain stores was firmly in the hands of agents, but due to the strong occupation of competitors and their secret agreements with agents, FK was unable to enter.

The Zhang family suddenly informed that they had recently controlled two major agency companies, and they had obtained the distribution channels of these chain systems. Now, the Zhang family threw out the bait: they could sell 30% of the shares of the agency company to provide FK with the right to supply the three chain systems.

On the condition that FK transfers 10% of the dry shares. That is, the two companies reached a cooperation in the exchange of shares, and Zhang Jingen became a shareholder of FK!

I was terrified to hear such a vibration. Zhang Jiazhen will open his mouth at this time, which sounds like a fantasy. As far as I know, the equity of the Luo family has never been touched by people with foreign surnames, and it was a little selfish to give me the chairman at the beginning.

I disagreed: "How can the Luo family be willing to give away so much equity? Those three channels are not necessary. ”

Mr. Chen shook his head and said: "It was not necessary in the past, but now the reputation of the GZ brand and cooperative franchise stores has been greatly damaged, and the company must be in a hurry to find new performance stimulus." Your makeup brand strategy is afraid of change, and the step-by-step strategy is no longer suitable for the company's development. The company plans to fully roll out makeup products this year, and the makeup demand of the three major systems is far from saturated. The company saw this opportunity and planned to seize it quickly. Otherwise, the company's overall performance this year will be dismal. ”

I was so shocked that I blurted out: "The first year of the new brand is mainly product penetration. Even if the goods are fully distributed, the books will not be much better. How could the company make this the highlight of the company's performance? ”

"The board doesn't know about it. In the past, they always said that Mr. Luo was adventurous, but now that he has exchanged shares with the Zhang family, the company is the real adventurous. ”

Everything went wrong, Luo Jincheng was not interested in talking to me on the phone, and one day there was no news. It's the first time we've been sure we've had it before!

When I woke up in the morning, I felt that my chest was tight, and I couldn't breathe for a moment. I didn't have much work at hand, so I took a leave of absence.

My mother has returned to Gui County, and the apartment has returned to the state where I lived alone most of the time. A while ago, I was busy in the dark, and the cleaning had been put on hold for a long time, so I took advantage of the improvement of my body and the good weather to carry out a big cleaning, threw away the sundries that should be thrown, and washed the clothes and quilts that should be washed.

Seeing that the refrigerator was empty, I took a taxi to Huihua, a large supermarket chain in Germany, next to a department store, located in a shopping mall. On weekdays, it is the morning, the spring is bright outside, and the indoor passenger flow is sparse, so that the air is not stuffy.

Watch and choose along the way, but it's not unhurried. Turning to the canning area, I raised my eyes, and a familiar figure came into view.

"Why don't you hang out from work?" Levia said in a joyful voice.

"Off. Are you too? ”

"Hmm. I'm living nearby, so I'm going to buy some food reserves. He glanced at my shopping cart and smiled, "I bought quite a lot." ”

I smiled and chatted with him as I pushed my shopping cart. After learning the preliminary results of He Youning's investigation, my suspicions about Li Wei were almost gone, and I even felt ashamed in my heart, how could I be suspicious of him. And his so-called tracking, slightly distressed. How could I not know his affection. It's just that he wants, and I can't give it. He is good at observing words and feelings, and knows that if he still pursues it, it will only backfire. So, the usual contact is limited to the occasional dinner with friends. We've never had a separate date.

I think it must be a day today, otherwise how could I meet Zhang Jingen in this place at this time.

Levia had been answering the phone, and I wasn't in the mood to go with him, so I wandered around the rows of tall shelves.

I didn't want to, but I met Zhang Jingen, who also launched a shopping cart.

I was stunned for half a second, then smiled.

She walked over with great interest: "Why, Mr. Li didn't continue to accompany him?" ”

My heart thumped to understand that she had already discovered us, and she had not stepped forward until I was alone. suddenly remembered that He Youning had said that she was the initiator of the bloody chicken and paint splashing incident, and couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine, and her eyes were wary.

I can't estimate this woman's shameless bottom line, and the despicable downline is estimated to be as deep as the bottom of the sea.

I subconsciously took a step back and said with a smile: "We just met by chance, so we don't have to be together." ”

"Brother Cheng has been very busy lately, so I don't have time to accompany you. It's good that you're not lonely, he always has more important things to do, and he can't take care of you. ”

I disdained this kind of meaningless conversation and said, "We will take care of ourselves, and we don't have to worry about Miss Zhang." ”

"Why don't you worry about it. The Zhang Luo family has always had a good relationship, and the Luo family is in trouble, so we can't just watch them fall into trouble. In the future, we will have many opportunities for cooperation, and we hope to have a happy cooperation. I understand now that what happens to you and Brother Cheng won't affect my relationship with him. Just like the inevitable cooperation between the two companies, no one can stop it. ”

I listened to the arrogance in her words, and there were countless unhappiness in my heart, but I hinted that I didn't need to be angry.

"I still have to buy something, and I'm out of company."

I turned my head and walked back the way I came, but luckily she didn't catch.

After checking out, I came out of the supermarket, walked through the ground parking lot at the entrance, walked to a downhill road in front of the supermarket on the right, and prepared to take a taxi back to the end of the road.

At this time, vehicles are scarce, and only pedestrians pass by. This downhill road is the exit to the surface parking lot, from which all vehicles pass and leave.

Since pregnancy, the spirit is easily tired, and after a few steps, I feel that my waist is sore. It's been 10 weeks, and 12 weeks ago I had to decide whether it would go or not, and I didn't have the right to decide. The things on hand didn't weigh much, just shampoo and shower gel plus a few packets of noodles and snacks. But after a long time, the arm is slightly sore. As soon as I changed the handle, the sound of small wheels pressing over the cement road sounded behind me, and I listened to my heart.
