“We are calling off this recruiting effort. Don’t nobody contact her ever again!”
Gu Wushuang took a deep breath and returned to her usual elegant look.
“Okay.”
Manager Li turned to leave but there was a sort of light in his eyes.
As soon as he had left, the resume on the desk was torn to pieces by Gu Wushuang and sent into the trashcan like snowflakes as though that would somehow make her feel better.
The ink painting videos that she had watched million to times before now even hurt her eyes to look at.
She grabbed her cellphone and removed it completely from her saved list!
So what if Gu Shishi could painting?
She, Gu Wushuang, graduated from a music school and she had the Gu’s family fortune!
She had no reason to worry about Gu Shishi!
Gu Wushuang clenched her fists. Her heart, which hadn’t hurt for a long time, seemed to feel uncomfortable all over again.
[Sister Shishi, as an artist, you should contribute whatever you have left in the backstage.]
Gu Wushuang sent a message over.
Gu Shishi, however, did not respond to her at all.
As though Gu Wushuang wasn’t even worthy of that much. Gu Wushuang was upset all over again.
All of a sudden, Gu Wushuang’s strategy in the way she managed her company became even more extreme.
From the standpoint of a bystander, she acted as though she had lost her mind.
100 million yuan had been invested into marketing cost for Jiahe’s high-end products. The brand quickly filled everyone’s eyes.
Suddenly, right when sales were climbing steadily and Gu Wushuang was feeling happy, she was struck by bad news!
Gu Wushuang never anticipated for this to happen!
She never even thought about having an emergency plan for this.
“How could that have happened? What was it?”
Her heart tightened.
The face of the manager who came delivering the news dropped.
That was a question from an extremely inexperienced boss.
Her first reaction was to place blame instead of coming up with a solution. That was the worst thing she could do.
They, nevertheless, answered her question.
“She is an internet influencer that we had given samples to when our products were first rolled out. She had over ten million fans. She said she had been a loyal supporter of our products since she was a child. But now that she had used our high-end products……”
The management didn’t know how to go on.
“She said that our high-end products are too similar to our low-end ones other than the fragrance.
“She had a friend tested and compared them and learned that they were up to 85% identical.”
The high-end products cost 10 times that of low-end ones.
The fact that they were so similar was shocking.
Jiahe went all the way onto the hot search list.
Many consumers even asked for their money back.
Gu Wushuang shrieked. “What is wrong with you guys? How did you make such a basic error? Don’t you know to at least modify the formula?!”
She had completely forgotten her earlier marketing theory stating that the value of the name brand far exceeds that of the ingredients.
Her radical push to the market allowed no time for R&D to develop new formulas for their high-end products.
And now, it was the fault of everyone else.
All of Jiahe’s managers lowered their heads and remained silent.
***
A year later.
Gu Shishi dressed Huo Xiao Bao in a set of bunny suit and brought him with her over to the Chen’s.
Old Mrs. Chen’s birthday this year was not a round number (as in divisible by 10) so it wasn’t a massive event. Only close friends and families were invited to dine together.
Old Mrs. Chen was very happy when Gu Shishi showed up.
Huo Xiao Bao made his baby talk as he reached his arms out at Old Mrs. Chen. He was affectionate like he was part of the Chen family. That put a big smile on Old Mrs. Chen.
“Aiya, our precious little one is here. He knows I am grandma.”
Gu Shishi blinked. It was a happy day and she wasn’t going to say anything otherwise.
She quietly pulled back her son’s little hand that was holding onto the jade buddha that Old Mrs. Chen had dangling in front of her chest.
“Aye. It’s fine. It’s fine. He’s got good taste. I knew he would like this piece of jade. Hahaha. I just got this not too long ago. I wore this today intentionally so our little precious could appraise it.”
Old Mrs. Chen smiled so much that her wrinkles could be seen.
