Chapter 6: The Vain Male Wife of the Domineering Boss
If it weren't for the occasional page-turning movement of the young man's hands, the scene would have looked like a static picture, with the sun shining just about everywhere.
The sound of the secretary knocking on the door brought Mingyao back to his senses. He felt that his behavior was a bit inexplicable, so he turned off the surveillance screen and concentrated on his work.
Lin Zhi didn't know that someone was looking at him. After reading for half an hour, he was ready to go out and share his joy with the old man.
Now that we have stepped onto this step, the next step is to move onto the next step.
The old man was concerned about Lin Zhi, so he naturally knew some of the situation. When he saw Lin Zhi, he praised her as "very creative".
"Tell me more carefully, why did you plan to do this?"
This method cannot be said to be very clever, but it wins because of the word "clever".
If they had known that it would divert traffic and the benefits were not enough, the variety show organizers would definitely not have allowed this clip to be broadcast in this way.
Lin Zhi smiled and told the old man about his plan. He had already thought of this plan long before signing the factory contract. The first key person he found was Zhong Guo’s daughter Zhong Tian, a girl who dreamed of becoming a star.
Zhong Guo is just an ordinary insurance salesman. His wife is the owner of a small supermarket and he cannot spend too much money on training his daughter.
Zhong Tian didn’t dare to sign with any company casually because her friend from the same dance studio had been cheated by a trainee company’s contract. Plus, her singing and dancing skills weren’t that great either, so she just wanted to give the auditions a try.
Lin Zhi had been eyeing this show for a long time, so naturally she saw Zhong Tian.
He made up an excuse that Zhong Tian looked like his deceased neighbor's sister and threw an opportunity to the Zhong family, asking them to sign a confidentiality agreement.
Of course, when he talked to the old man, he omitted this part and only mentioned the result without describing the process.
The factory was renovated, more ice cream flavors were added, quality was upgraded, management processes were established, and prices were negotiated with various wholesalers. All of this was done before the recording of the show. No action was taken before that, so the variety show team had no doubts at all and happily released the clip.
Lin Zhi did not launch a massive marketing promotion, but only focused on finding some high-quality influencers to avoid excessive brainwashing and marketing that sold misery.
In the end, it was no longer Lin Zhi who was pushing things forward, but rather a network trend. When something becomes a hot topic, naturally countless people will chase after it and join in to prove that this thing is a hot topic.
"You are very patient, very bold, and very adventurous. You dare to do this for the first time. The young are to be feared. I am old and can only watch you young people struggling on the shore. This world is still the world of the young."
The old man judged that if there was any mistake in any link, this situation would not have happened.
"That is to say, I will give it a try. If I fail, I will pack up and wait for Mingyao to support me."
Lin Zhi joked that he had quite a few solid marketing plans, but what he wanted was this unexpected effect so that others could see the big picture from the small.
The fact that he dared to do so had already predestined success. He could not say the same about other fields, but in the jungle of the business world, he had once been a part of writing the rules.
"It would be a shame if you were kept at home. What are your plans for the future?"
The old man asked aloud, having his own plans in mind.
He was also a well-known figure when he was young. Although the Ming family's business took a step forward under Ming Yao's leadership, Ming Yao was his successor and he also opened up the main areas of the Ming family. Although he is old and does not have the ambition and fighting spirit of his youth, his vision for people will not decline. He thinks Lin Zhi is a promising talent.
Since she is a talented person and can suppress Mingyao's evil granddaughter-in-law, the old man sees no reason not to recruit her.
"Let me stabilize the things I have on hand first. I haven't thought about other things yet, but I want to try my hand in other industries."
Lin Zhi understood what the old man meant, and this was also his purpose.
It’s just that sometimes you can’t say too much, as it would sound vulgar. After all, the listener is not a fool, so there’s no need to break it down. It’s enough for both parties to understand.
"It's good to be adventurous. Stay for dinner tonight. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some fresh lamb slices for us to eat."
"Grandpa, you are greedy, don't eat too much, I will count for you."
The old man was mumbling to himself, and Uncle Jin was watching with amusement.
Having been with the old man for decades, how could I not understand that he was not really craving for such a thing, but just enjoyed the feeling of being looked after and cared for by the younger generation.
Uncle Jin even took a sneak shot of Mr. Zhang looking comfortable and sent it to Mingyao.
When Mingyao learned that Lin Zhi was going to stay at her grandfather's house for dinner, he had an idea and was about to ask his special assistant to change the itinerary, but then he thought better of it.
This seemed like he was crossing the line. Ming Yao pinched his brows, and the light in his eyes became dim and unclear.
After Lin Zhi left the old man's place this time, he felt that the old man was different the next time he went there. He no longer talked to him about family matters, flowers, birds and fish, but also about business.
Some were from a few years ago, some were from recently, and some were from the market in the future. Most of the time, it was the old man who asked and listened to Lin Zhi’s opinions.
Lin Zhi knew that he was testing him, so in order to fit in with his character, he still hid his clumsiness a bit, and sometimes deliberately made mistakes and sounded overly idealistic and naive, making mistakes and waiting for the old man to teach him, so as to avoid making the old man think that he was too scheming.
In addition to visiting the old man every now and then, Lin Zhi also did not forget to socialize within the circle and took time to manage the ice cream factory.
I don't know which party took action, but they were all dissatisfied with Xiao Yunshan's recent popularity. Various revelations and even negative reviews began to appear on the Internet.
Xiaoyunshan has passers-by's disk, and the situation is relatively stable. Lin Zhi also has 01. As an intelligent AI, 01 is very easy to create some virtual accounts to comment. Lin Zhi also benefited from it in not spending much marketing expenses.
01: [Don’t worry, host! No accidents as long as I'm here! 】
Lin Zhi did not stop the news about the change of operator of Xiaoyunshan Ice Cream, because this matter was true and it was not a distortion of the facts. In addition, the person in charge mentioned by these people was also Zhong Tian's father Zhong Guo, so this situation was within his expectations.
Zhong Guo posted a video and a long article to tell the story. He said that this old brand was meaningful to him and he decided to take a chance and bought the factory.
There were all kinds of speculations below, and the variety show crew did not let go of this topic. They thought that since Xiao Yunshan had taken advantage of the popularity of their show, they would naturally take advantage of it back, and specially arranged relevant questions for Zhong Tian.
It was a closed audition and the contestants did not have cell phones to contact the outside world. Therefore, Zhong Tian did not know that her family's ice cream factory had been revived. She still had an attitude of "family business is failing and I will work hard to make a debut to support my family" and seemed a little surprised by this question.
"How do you know it's Xiao Yunshan? I wasn't going to tell you yet, hahaha. Doesn't this count as advertising?"
"I didn't say that it has always been my family's factory. That's not true. You got it wrong. My dad bought it not long ago. I loved eating this brand when I was a kid. There was a period of time when my family was in a particularly difficult situation. The only birthday gift I wanted was this. My dad felt quite guilty about it."
"When I grew up, my dad used to go directly to the factory to buy ice cream in bulk because it was out of stock for a long time. When he found out that the factory was going to close, we felt very sad. My dad also wanted to start a business, so he bought it. My dad even said he would make a princess ice cream specifically for me, with my cute image on it."
Zhong Tian's words were half true and half false. She admired her boss's foresight in her heart. The previous things were true, but the last few sentences were false.
The variety show organizers were still a little disappointed. After all, if Zhong Tian lied and said that the factory has always been theirs to play the sentimental card, that would be more explosive. But this situation is also acceptable.
After the clip was released, it generated positive marketing online.
"It turns out that princess ice cream is in the image of Tianmei! Cute peach flavor! Daddy keeps his word!"
"It is true that Xiaoyunshan is going to close down, and it is also true that the company has changed its management, but the classic flavor is still the same, and it is worth the money. Some investors should stop squeezing out the affordable ice cream market!"
"After watching it, I immediately stocked up on a box of Princess Xiaoyunshan ice cream! Come on, cheer for the girls in the competition. If I can't buy the peripherals for now, I might as well buy some ice cream. I can really spend money on the girls if I can eat them!"
After listening to the reports from his subordinates, the old man was very satisfied with Lin Zhi's handling methods and meticulousness. He mentioned to Mingyao the idea of letting Lin Zhi work in the group.
"I'm not arranging for you. After all, you are the one who makes the decisions now, and it's not my turn to interfere in personnel transfers. But Zhizhi is a good material, and she is your wife, so her status is different and she is worth cultivating."
Mingyao listened to the old man's words, pinched his fingertips, was silent for a while and said: "Let me take a look first."
Ming Yao had no plans to do anything about Lin Zhi's personality, but recent events had changed his mind. He wanted to investigate it himself, and first he needed to know Lin Zhi's thoughts.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Mingyao returned home after a day's work. His finger paused for a moment and pressed the number '4' on the elevator.
Ever since Lin Zhi moved in, Mingyao has never set foot on the fourth floor again.
The furnishings were the same as before, Mingyao knocked on the bedroom door.
The door was opened, and the young man standing inside was wearing a loose shirt, his face was hazy and moist, and his posture was lazy.
It was a kind of laziness that came from satisfaction, with a faint sweet fragrance emanating from the whole body.
Lack of experience does not mean lack of common sense.
Mingyao's jawline tightened, and his voice was cold: "I remember we agreed not to bring anyone here."
Lin Zhi turned sideways, tilted his head slightly and said, "Is this what you are talking about?"
Mingyao looked in the direction he was pointing, towards the bed, and saw a small oval-shaped toy.
"Fortunately, I knocked on the door now, otherwise it would be rude to bring it to meet guests."
Mingyao subconsciously followed Lin Zhi's words and then immediately dispersed his thoughts. He felt his own noisy heartbeat and his body became increasingly tense.
He thought that maybe tonight was not the time for this conversation.
"You must have something to ask if you came to see me on your own initiative. Come in and tell me."
Lin Zhi walked into the room, picked up the cup and drank some water to replenish his water.
With 01 there, he certainly knew who was knocking on the door, otherwise he wouldn't show himself in such a posture, at least he wouldn't just put on a loose shirt after finishing his work.
Not hearing the sound at the door, Lin Zhi turned around, wiped the water marks on his lips, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you coming in?"
Mingyao's heart seemed to be bound by a spider web, and his body seemed to press the forward button of the wheelchair before his consciousness.
The door was blown shut by the wind, creating an enclosed nest of ambiguity.
