Chapter 279 Under the Mask
The public opinion storm came earlier than expected on Monday.
It was the first time that Xiang Nuan saw the management of Baotu sitting together in such an orderly manner. The scene was so tense, as if they were going to acquire the company.
"Are these all your bosses?" Xiang Nuan asked Shen Feng in a low voice.
"The three people in the front are Mr. Chen, Mr. Li and Mr. Duan. They are the second, third and fourth in command of the company. The others are managers of various departments."
Shen Feng was still a little hesitant when speaking. A car show plan did not originally require the participation of so many departments.
"Mr. Jiang really attaches great importance to this auto show." She muttered softly, but Xiang Nuan smiled without saying anything.
"New energy is the company's future development direction. This auto show is our stepping stone to the new energy market. Its importance is self-evident. So we gathered everyone together to work on the auto show plan." Jiang Chao's opening was concise and direct. "To the designer, please show us the auto show plan."
Xiang Nuan nodded gently, signaling Shen Feng to start.
Shen Feng was a little stunned. This... went straight to the point? Even the designer's introduction was omitted. It was a bit unusual.
She cleared her throat and walked to the front of the stage. Seeing everyone staring at her intently, she took a deep breath and opened the third set of revised plans.
Based on her many years of experience in advertising, she gave herself a 90 for this plan. In terms of creativity, it was not as eye-catching as Xiang Nuan's "conspiracy", but in terms of thoroughness and detail, hers was definitely better. She got more and more into the mood as she spoke, and in the end, she was almost certain that this was the only choice for the auto show plan.
"That's all for this plan. Thank you."
After she said this, she felt her hands shaking a little, but Xiang Nuan smiled warmly at her and she calmed down again.
"What do you think?" Jiang Chao turned around and asked everyone.
Everyone whispered to each other for a while, but no one spoke.
"Our new energy vehicles are just starting out, the technology is not mature enough, and the production capacity is not large enough. On the contrary, traditional models are strong and have a good development trend. I think we should focus on mature markets."
Xiang Nuan glanced at the name tag of the person who was speaking. Chen Weiming, this should be the second in command of the company. Of course she knew him. This "minister entrusted by Mr. Jiang" thought he was the "stabilizing force" placed by Mr. Jiang by Mr. Jiang's side, but he didn't know that this force could also be a thorn in his heart.
"I think so too..."
Manager Zhao from the Product Department was about to speak when he was interrupted by Jiang Chao.
"Mr. Chen is right. It is because the development of traditional models is very stable that we have the energy to come up with something new... What do you think?"
“I think we should actively explore new areas.”
The technique of emergency braking and 180-degree turn on the spot also opened Xiang Nuan's eyes. No wonder it is a car company, the driving skills are really good.
Jiang Chao tilted his mouth slightly: "You are an expert, how about you tell me about this plan?"
A layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from Manager Zhao’s forehead, but interestingly, he glanced at CEO Chen before slowly saying, “Manager Shen is the expert.”
If the world is a huge amateur troupe, then Baotu must be the best microcosm. Xiang Nuan adjusted her sitting position and watched the show carefully.
Isn’t this much more interesting than the plan?!
Jiang Chao glanced at the entire audience meaningfully, and as his gaze swept over everyone, they lowered their heads one after another like dominoes.
"If you don't have any objections, just follow this. Manager Shen, go and prepare."
This sound was like the sound of nature. Everyone stood up and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
"Excuse me, what is the role of Designer Xiang in this process..." "Third Brother" Mr. Li sat in his original position without moving, looking at Xiang Nuan with a smile.
"She is a designer I specially hired to be responsible for the planning of the entire auto show." Jiang Chao spoke for her.
"Oh? The proposal you just made was for the designer?"
"It's mainly thanks to Manager Shen. Our company's publicity and promotion team is very professional and capable." Xiang Nuan responded slowly and unhurriedly.
"Then I don't understand, why do we need to ask for help from a great designer when we can do it ourselves?"
Xiang Nuan smelled a bit of gunpowder: "Mr. Jiang may need some outside voice."
Mr. Li's face suddenly fell, and he stared at her again and again. Was there something else behind his words?
"Designer Xiang could have enjoyed the life of a celebrity's wife, but she insisted on relying on her talent to make a name for herself. Is the domestic entertainment industry so competitive now?" My younger brother, Mr. Duan, also started to joke.
"Mr. Jiang just said it, only when you have a peaceful life can you have the energy to come up with something new." Xiang Nuan also joked.
These guys are really amazing. They were like sculptures in the serious occasion just now, but they came back to life after the meeting.
"If you want to have fun, do it in a way that makes a name for yourself. Finding a celebrity to do the design, isn't that nonsense?!" Mr. Chen had no plan to avoid Xiang Nuan at all. When the other people heard this, they laughed in different ways.
"Just for fun." Jiang Chao displayed the word cynicism to the fullest.
After everyone filed out, only she, Chen Feng and Jiang Chao were left in the conference room. Xiang Nuan saw those layers of smiles peeling off Jiang Chao's face like masks.
Somehow, she suddenly thought of Liu Yunshan...
"You had this other purpose in looking for me? I overlooked it."
She looked at Jiang Chao with a half-smile, and saw him put on the masks one by one. His mockery turned into harshness and then into coldness and alienation: "Who made the great designer Xiang so beautiful?!"
"After all, it's all thanks to your reputation."
Jiang Chao laughed, and the warmth in his eyes finally returned. The people who had already walked away couldn't help but turn back, and whispered to each other in groups of three or five.
[Oh my god, that was Xiang Nuan just now! ]
[She is Jiang Yunhui’s wife, the one who was walking on the street with our CEO Jiang? ]
[Just say it, our new energy industry has just started, why are we in such a hurry to hold a car show and promote celebrities?! ]
[Chen Feng is also miserable, making wedding clothes for others. ]
[Mr. Jiang is very familiar with praising female celebrities, but this is the first time he has praised someone's wife]
[It’s still a career-oriented style, with scripts and cosplay]
[Then we are all just part of their play?! ]
…
There was a lot of noise and bustle, but it had nothing to do with work or plans. These high-ranking executives and intellectuals were all the same when it came to gossiping about others.
"I don't understand. Just now you said that Mr. Jiang had other intentions in inviting you here?" Shen Feng dared to ask only after they walked a long way out of the office building.
Xiang Nuan sneered, and suddenly felt that she had unknowingly learned Jiang Chao's behavior, so she quickly stopped laughing.
“I don’t understand either…”
Xiang Nuan really couldn't see Jiang Chao clearly. She thought she had figured him out thoroughly, at least understood three of his moves, but she didn't expect he had planned the game even earlier.
"That's not something we should worry about," she took Chen Feng's arm for the first time, and the sudden intimacy caught Chen Feng off guard, "Let's just finish the auto show, you get promoted, I leave, and everything will be fine!"
Every time she smiled like this, she was like a sunflower opening its petals in the sun. She couldn't think of a more appropriate adjective than bright and charming. She just felt that she should smile along with her and be bright and charming.
