119 What does it mean to go-for-tat
I looked at Mr. Chen with a look of indifference, so I had to take it over with a sneer.
His noon words flashed through his mind.
"Hate me?"
There was a touch of sourness in my heart.
Luo Jincheng, shouldn't I hate you?
Do you think you can erase all barriers in three years?
After the afternoon debriefing meeting, the marketing department staff stayed, Luo Jincheng turned the topic of the morning out, Zhang Jingen looked happy, and said loudly: "This is also my suggestion after many investigations, the data shows that the growth of art makeup brands is weak, and we already have ZY makeup unique, if we focus on CJ, it will inevitably disperse the group's funds." I think that's why the headquarters has been slow to approve CJ's New Year's plan. The merger of two makeup brands can lead from the first to the last, and the positioning of the two is different, and there will be no conflict. ”
I took a look at the situation at the meeting, and no one dared to say anything more, not even the director in charge of CJ sales, but this is the rhythm of sitting and waiting. This merger means that there will be some layoffs. Approaching the end of the year, how many people will be upset about the New Year by this farce.
I turned my pen and said, "Although we should follow the decisions of the top, should the leadership start from the overall brand and make reasonable arrangements?" CJ's growth is sluggish, so must it be merged into our subsidiary? We ZY has just completed the strategic planning and layout, and the new products have just been distributed, and Zhang Dong proposed to merge CJ into our brand department at this time. The new product has just been distributed, and it is the best time to promote it with all its might, so that the rhythm is temporarily disrupted, which will inevitably allow competitors to take advantage of the situation and seize the market that should belong to us.
When the chairman inspected ZY last year, he emphasized that to ensure the independent operation of our brand, we are responsible for the headquarters with performance and brand influence. We are confident about next year's goals. In my capacity as the head of the brand, I ask the leadership to consider this arrangement carefully. ”
"Manager Nian, this is like forcing the palace."
"I don't need to force the palace. I'm just making a reasonable appeal and asking the leadership to consider it carefully. ”
Mr. Xie of the sales center said: "This problem has been discussed with Mr. Luo before, and in terms of the brand layout of the entire group, the existence of CJ is indeed a bit like chicken ribs, and there is really no need to operate independently." ”
Luo Jincheng glanced at the audience for a week, and finally said: "I agree with the two of you to abolish the CJ brand department and take over by ZY temporarily." He looked at me, with determination in his resolute eyes, "As for how to lay it out, Mr. Xie, Mr. Chen and Mr. Shi have drawn up a plan in the past few days, and Manager Nian has any good suggestions to make." ”
The few people who were named nodded one after another, Zhang Jingen's face was calm, but he glanced at me unconsciously, and there seemed to be a subtle smug in the corner of his eyes.
Luo Jincheng ignored my opinion and slapped the board, she couldn't be a little proud.
CJ's brand manager and sales director were dejected and solemn.
It's really a few happy and a few sad.
And the next heavier bomb is that Zhang Jingen proposed that in order to facilitate the unified deployment of the group, the ZY marketing department moved back to Y City.
As soon as these words came out, Peter looked as usual, as if he had foreseen it. And I was completely in the dark.
This kind of structural adjustment is no longer something that I have a say in at my level, not to mention that Zhang Jingen proposed it in the form of an announcement of the decision, which is almost certainly the unanimous decision of several of their leaders, and there is no room for reversal.
After three years, this woman is like the second-in-command of the company, controlling the fate of many people from above.
After three years, I want to go back to the place where this is wrong in Y City, back to the place where he is, and watch him and this woman have a relationship?
This feeling came over me, and I was inflamed.
I was angry, but I had to be calm and normal. After the meeting, I went to the bathroom and bumped into Zhang Jingen, who looked quite interested, in the aisle.
This pride must come from Fang Cai's victory at the meeting. Three years ago, she was humble and polite, well-behaved, and quite amiable. Unexpectedly, three years later, she had added a little anger and arrogance.
This may be her nature, or at FK, she needs such an aura to maintain her prestige and prestige as an airborne leader.
I simply smiled and counted as a greeting. I don't have a relationship with her, and I'm not on the same front, so I really can't find a reason to chat with her.
Unsurprisingly, though, she stopped me.
"Brother Cheng also made a decision out of consideration for the overall situation, and there is no way to take into account your feelings, you have to be considerate. I don't know why, it's puzzling that you haven't even wanted to come back for the annual meeting in the past few years. She smiled, "However, there will be more opportunities for us to cooperate in the future." Work with peace of mind, your ability is strong and everyone can see it, and the platform will be wider when you come back to the headquarters. Brother Cheng and I are optimistic about you. ”
I smiled back and said, "Thank you Dong Zhang for your concern, I will work hard." ”
"You don't want to quit your job in a hurry, right? Don't be as impulsive as you Peter. Originally, in the company's new structure, Peter was the director of the newly established second marketing department, in charge of ZY and aromatherapy brands, but he handed in his resignation last week, and he didn't even want the year-end bonus, what a pity. ”
I felt that the amount of information today was large enough, so I was stunned for half a second, and returned to normal at any time, and only smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder." ”
If you say too much, you will lose, and here you are still cautious and subtle.
……
When Mr. Chen returned to the office, I followed him in.
I got straight to the point: "With such a big news as moving back to Y City, Mr. Chen didn't disclose the slightest rumor." ”
Mr. Chen motioned for me to close the door.
I was stunned and complied. When he sat down, he said, "I know you have doubts, and I will answer them for you one by one." First of all, it is only a matter of time before CJ is removed, and the so-called temporary takeover is just a buffer, and when the collection of funds meets expectations and the market is consumed to a certain extent, the company will announce the withdrawal of the market. ”
I was taken aback, looking at Mr. Chen's expression, "Have you already made up your mind, but you just said it through Zhang Jingen's mouth?" The company has long been planning to marginalize the brand? ”
Mr. Chen smiled, "Now that the Zhang family intends to penetrate our original channels, this trend is unstoppable, and the company can only take a step back in the long run." However, this will not affect the overall development. ”
I looked at the confidence in his eyebrows, and my doubts were even greater. "What are the company's specific arrangements?"
"Cut the original department, you also serve as the CJ brand manager, and your big marketing department will be moved back to Y City, so that the group can be more uniformly deployed."
Seeing that I was silent, he comforted, "Isn't it good to go back to Y City?" There are familiar colleagues, familiar environments, familiar relatives and friends. ”
I couldn't help but feel ridiculous, "Mr. Chen, it was you who encouraged me to try a new environment, and now you persuade me to come back, you are really conscientious as a lobbyist." ”
Mr. Chen's face did not change, but he said: "I know that you will not accept it for a while, but it is the general trend for the company to come to this point, and Mr. Luo originally meant the same, but Zhang Jingen didn't know what to think about, and he actually thought the same." We just brought up such a sign, and she rushed to actively promote it, which was a great favor for us. ”
The word "we" in his mouth made me feel a little ironed. It's just, what is Zhang Jingen going to do?
Putting aside business, from a personal point of view, ZY's move back to City Y will inevitably bring me back to Luo Jincheng's sight. For the woman who coveted him, isn't this a re-introduction of the wolf? Why is she so enthusiastic?
She referred to Peter's resignation. Could it be ......
Want to provoke me away?
If so, this trick is really enough.
Only, do I really want to go back to this city?
Mr. Chen finally looked directly at me and said, "I believe Mr. Luo, every step he takes has his reasons." ”
I felt uneasy and blurted out: "Yes, he always has his reasons, everything he does is taken for granted, and others can only follow in his footsteps." ”
Mr. Chen smiled awkwardly, but his eyes were fixed: "I don't know what happened to you, but in the past few years, the chairman has urged Mr. Luo and Zhang Jingen to get married more than once, but Mr. Luo refused to nod for a long time." Even if the three presidents have heirs, the Zhang family is pressing forward step by step, and Mr. Luo is also stubbornly guarding the last line of defense and going back and forth with them. His forbearance is beyond our imagination. And a person's persistence is more precious than any empty words. ”
There's no denying that this passage stirred my calm heart, but, so what?
Mr. Chen and I looked at each other. I have long understood that Mr. Chen has always been Luo Jincheng's lobbyist, but I know that this passage is his heartfelt words, not like Luo Jincheng's explanation.
"I'll think about it."
Winter in Y City is said to be very cold this year, but for me who has lived here for seven years, I have long been used to it.
At eight or nine o'clock, I stepped on the cold wind, wrapped myself in a thick coat and scarf, and walked slowly on the way back to the apartment in the community. At night, the trees are still lush and green, and only slightly cooler temperatures can give a sense of the city's winter style.
But downstairs, I found a familiar figure leaning in front of the car.
The body is long, and there is only a bright spot in the backlight. As I got closer, the bright spot was thrown to the ground and trampled on. The tall figure walked out of the darkness, and Luo Jincheng's handsome face appeared in front of him.
"Came back so late?" He smiled heavily.
"You...... What to do? "I pretended I didn't know.
He smiled again, his eyes flickering under the streetlight, "You know what I'm here for." ”
Oh, can we change the line?
I tightened my scarf and said, "On such a cold day, if there is nothing else, let's go back to our respective homes, it's really not suitable for chatting outside." ”
He smiled slightly, and I didn't pay any more attention, and turned around quietly.
Behind him, his voice was deep: "Come back to Y City, don't go." ”
I shuddered slightly, but I didn't want to linger longer.
