"Oh? It seems you're quite confident in the pickles you're going to recommend to me. Even if it's unique, how can you guarantee that the taste will be liked by many people?"
"Alright, starting tomorrow you don't need to go to the counter anymore. You, Zhu Min and Huang Jianmin from the finance team, the three of you will be in charge of negotiating cooperation with the food factory."
"Tomorrow morning, let's go to the auditorium first and have a meeting to discuss the specific details."
"As for the pickles you mentioned, Comrade Huang Qinqin, let's discuss that again. Let's see if the first plan can change the department store's problem first."
Huang Qinqin didn't expect to convince Manager Gao in one go. As long as Manager Gao had an impression of her, she would consider it a success for today.
"Okay, thank you, Manager Gao. I will do my best."
......
Chen Ermei felt that she would be scared to death by Grandma Xu sooner or later. Grandma Xu actually squatted at the door of her and Xu Jingui's room in the middle of the night. When she got up to use the bathroom last night, she almost tripped over her.
If she hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed the door frame, it's uncertain whether she would have been able to save her baby if she had fallen to the ground.
However, when the rest of the Xu family found out, not a single person stood up for her and comforted her; instead, they blamed her.
"Don't you see where you're going? Didn't you see Grandma, a grown woman, on the ground? And you just stepped on her!"
"Luckily, Grandma is alright this time. If she had been hurt anywhere, I'd beat you to death!"
Xu Jingui still has deep feelings for Grandma Xu. Grandma Xu has always doted on him since he was a child and basically indulged his every whim.
Many times when he got into trouble, it was Grandma Xu who pleaded for him and Xu Weimin.
Upon hearing these two sentences, Chen Ermei even doubted whether she had misheard.
He gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean I'm blind?! Who told her to stay up all night and squat outside our room?!"
Xu Jingui was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with her, and said unhappily, "Grandma already said that she went into the wrong room after getting up in the middle of the night, and suddenly felt unwell, so she squatted down to rest. Who told you to come out suddenly!"
Grandma Xu feigned concern and said, "My dear grandson, it's all Grandma's fault. I'm getting old and my memory isn't what it used to be. If I hadn't gone into the wrong room, I wouldn't have been stepped on."
"It's all my fault, I brought this on myself. Don't blame your wife, she's pregnant after all, so she's a bit more delicate."
Grandma Xu's words only made things worse, adding fuel to the fire.
Chen Ermei could tell that while she seemed to be advising Xu Jingui, she was actually putting herself in a dangerous situation! Chen Ermei stared at Grandma Xu with a gloomy face and resentment.
After hearing this, Xu Jingui's face immediately turned extremely ugly. Just as he was about to teach Chen Ermei a lesson, he saw her looking at Grandma Xu with a ferocious expression.
This caused Xu Jingui's emotions to erupt instantly, and he quickly raised his hand and slapped him across the face.
Snap!
Because Xu Jingui had used almost all his strength, Chen Ermei's face not only swelled up instantly, but blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, and she fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Chen Ermei covered her face and trembled as she looked at Xu Jingui. No one knew what she was thinking, but everyone could feel her fear.
Seeing Xu Jingui's appearance, Lin Chunyan pulled Da Bao and Xiao Bao back several steps.

Department store auditorium
"What?! Introducing ordinary goods? What does that mean?"
"Yes, our department store isn't a supply and marketing cooperative or a vegetable market, how could we sell these things?"
"Exactly, isn't this just lowering our standards?"
Seeing that the other people's reactions were not very approving, Manager Gao remained calm and handed over the rest of the time to Huang Qinqin.
If Huang Qinqin can't even convince the other people in the department store, then there's really no need to continue this plan.
Manager Gao raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
“I understand everyone’s concerns, but as you all know, the province has been paying special attention to the department store since it was built. However, the leaders are not very satisfied with the sales volume recently.”
“We have held many meetings before, but we haven’t come up with a good breakthrough. So we might as well give our young colleagues a chance to express their thoughts.”
"What do you all think? As for whether or not to pass this proposal, you can vote to decide."
"Alright, let's give her a chance. But let me make this clear: if her plan isn't feasible, we won't give you any face."
Huang Qinqin distributed the plan she had written in advance the day before to the leaders who were about to go down to the stage. Each person received a copy, which Huang Qinqin had prepared in advance the day before.
The first impression others get when they pick it up is that the handwriting is neat, smooth, and strong, giving people a sense of competence.
They also had higher expectations for Huang Qinqin's plan.
Huang Qinqin was a little nervous, as this was her first time speaking in front of so many leaders, but this nervousness was nothing to worry about.
Taking a deep breath to compose herself, Huang Qinqin stepped onto the stage to prepare to speak.
"Good morning, leaders. I am Huang Qinqin. I am very happy to have this opportunity to share some of my humble thoughts with you today."
"Firstly, the most important reason for the decline in foot traffic and sales at the department store is not that our merchandise is bad, but rather that our merchandise is too good!"
Wow, after Huang Qinqin said that, many leaders' expressions softened. Even two of the most vocal opponents sat up straight, eager to see what else she would say.
"Because the quality of the products is so high, people don't need to buy them again after purchasing them. Let's assume that a high-quality kettle can be used for at least ten years. Even if everyone buys one, there will be a long period of unsold stock after the initial purchase."
"That's why I suggested that we purchase some everyday consumer goods. Of course, as the leaders have said, department stores are high-end places, and they can't be like a vegetable market."
"So my suggestion is that all fast-moving consumer goods sold in department stores can be divided into two types. One type is in regular packaging."
"Another option is to use more attractive and sophisticated packaging. Just like what I just sent to the leaders."
“Most of our regular cooking oils come in one-pound packages. We can collaborate with food factories to produce cooking oils that weigh less than half a pound, but with more upscale packaging.”
Huang Qinqin also included a picture on the plan: "Leaders, you can take a look at the packaging I designed first. This part of the high-end products is aimed at cadres."
"If better, more upscale products that better reflect one's status were to appear, I believe there would be quite a few people willing to buy them."
