Chapter 111 Chapter 111 You and Comrade Liang Xin have a really good relationship...
Liang Xin also saw Wei Yuanyang coming in and pushed Lu Chongfeng again.
Lu Chongfeng suddenly kissed Liang Xin on the forehead and touched her hair.
Liang Xin: “….”
When Wei Yuanyang entered the room, his body froze for a moment, his eyes fixed on Lu Chongfeng who was doing intimate actions to Liang Xin.
When Lu Chongfeng saw him like that, his eyes instantly cooled down and he stared at him coldly.
Wei Yuanyang certainly felt the change in Lu Chongfeng's aura. After working in logistics for many years, he was much more adept at controlling his facial expressions than before. He walked into the living room with a bottle of Nestle coffee in his hand and an apologetic look on his face.
Liang Xin had no expression. "Come to pay back the money?"
When Wei Yuanyang heard this, his expression not only did not become as broken as before, but there was even a barely perceptible smile on his face.
The three-year salary promised to Liang Xin was only a thousand yuan. He had been working in logistics for many years, and this money had long been nothing to him.
The reason why he didn't give it was because he didn't want to give it.
The reason he didn't want to give it was that once he gave it, there might be no relationship between him and Liang Xin anymore.
If they don't give it, even if it is a creditor-debtor relationship, it means that there is still an unbreakable relationship between them.
"Money, I want to prepare some more interest and give it to you when the time comes."
His money will eventually be given to her.
Wei Yuanyang said apologetically, "My mom made you angry this morning and made you unhappy. I'm sorry. I heard that you and Chong Feng both drink coffee now. I specially asked someone to buy this coffee from a store in the city. I hope it can help you calm down."
Liang Xin said: "I never get angry at insignificant people."
Lu Chongfeng raised the corner of his mouth. "There are several bottles of coffee I bought in our locker. My family never lacks coffee. This stuff has a shelf life. You can take it back and drink it yourself."
Wei Yuanyang pushed the coffee forward again. "Anyway, it was my mother who picked a fight with you this morning. If I don't apologize, she will be worried in the hospital. You should accept this coffee."
Speaking to Liang Xin, Lu Chongfeng replied with a cold face: "Your mother deserves to be worried. Why should my family force themselves to accept things they don't want and don't need just for your mother's mood?"
Wei Yuanyang's expression finally froze, and he glanced at Liang Xin anxiously, "That's not what I meant. I just said that because I wanted you to accept the gift. It took me a long time to figure out what gift I should give to apologize. Maybe I was too anxious, so I said the wrong thing."
Lu Chongfeng spoke before Liang Xin again, "My family members have said that they will not get angry at people who are not important. We are going to have lunch, so we won't let you stay at our house for lunch. Go to the hospital to see your worried mother."
Wei Yuanyang took two steps to the left, and before he could even look at Liang Xin for a second, he was blocked by a huge army green mountain. "...I also prepared a golden plush yellow dog toy for Xiao Dudu, but I forgot to bring it here just now. If you don't want the coffee, I'll go get the puppy and give it to Xiao Dudu."
"We have a real dog at home, so we don't need a fake one."
Lu Chongfeng looked Wei Yuanyang up and down, and suddenly his tone changed from cold and hostile to a little closer, "Uncle Wei is gone, and as your brother I have to say something to you. You are already an adult, and it's time for you to get married. You have already bought a fake dog, so you have to hurry up and have a baby."
Wei Yuanyang: “….”
"Don't delay any longer at your age. You're already thirty, and you don't look very young. If you waste time any more, no one will want you."
Lu Chongfeng smiled and said, "As someone who has been through this, I know how good it is to get married, so I'm advising you to get married."
Wei Yuanyang's heart suddenly jumped. Before he could fully react, he heard Lu Chongfeng chattering, "For example, I used to have a headache and it would go away after a while. After I got married, my family members cared about my health more than I did. They would wash a hot towel to wipe my face and head, give me a massage, cook for me and prepare hot porridge, and even worry about me all night and stay up all night to watch over me. Do you understand what this is? You definitely don't understand. I tell you, this is love. For another example, a flower blooms. When you are alone, it is a flower. After you get married, this flower becomes romance. I pick it and give it to her. Seeing her happy makes me even happier. How can you experience this romantic feeling if you are not married? For another example, when I act impulsively, at the critical moment, my family members are by my side to tolerate and patiently persuade me, enlighten me, and help me in every way... Hey, why did you leave?"
Wei Yuanyang began to listen there for a while in a self-torturing manner, thinking that he could ignore it.
But although Lu Chongfeng's words were just sharing his daily married life, every word was heart-wrenching to him.
It hurt so much that she couldn't listen any longer. She couldn't even look at Liang Xin anymore and turned away.
"whispering sound."
Lu Chongfeng looked at Wei Yuanyang who was leaving with a stiff back, "We are just getting started."
Liang Xin glanced at him.
Lu Chongfeng watched the man disappear completely, his face darkened again, "See, I told you he was still a thief with evil intentions!"
Liang Xin really hadn't thought of this, and praised: "Your brain is better than mine."
"Only men can understand men's thinking."
Lu Chongfeng withdrew his gaze from the gate.
Liang Xin was thinking about something else.
If it was really Wei Yuanyang who allowed his mother to do this.
Xia Xia was present at what happened in the bakery that morning.
Seeing Wang Hongyan like this, even Yu Honghong could say that her desire to marry Wei Yuanyang had been reduced by less than 50%, and it was completely impossible for Xia Xia to ever think of marrying him again.
This unexpectedly dispelled the sense of crisis that had arisen in her heart a few days ago.
Yang Tao only has a few days of vacation left and will be returning to Beijing soon.
As long as the parents do not make decisions on their own, Yang Tao will no longer be the Yang Tao in the original plot who was criticized by the whole society for falling into the water and causing the death of a good young man.
She went to college, met many outstanding young people, and worked in a film studio, where there were a lot of talented and handsome male actors. It should be impossible for her to have any relationship with Wei Yuanyang.
Without Yang Tao, who was abandoned by the whole world, Wei Yuanyang no longer had the chance to hook up with Yang Tao under the pretext of redemption.
Liang Xin walked into the kitchen in a good mood, "Let me cook today."
Seeing that Liang Xin didn't care about Wei Yuanyang at all, Lu Chongfeng temporarily put Wei Yuanyang behind his mind and asked, "Where is my daughter?"
"Next door."
Liang Xin tied her apron on and said, "It's summer vacation now. My elder sister will take Dudu to play next door every morning."
Lu Chongfeng watched Liang Xin peel potatoes and said, "You've been busy lately. When you're done with this, I'll cook a big meal for you."
"Another big meal?"
Liang Xin smiled and said, "Don't mention it, your cooking skills are getting better and better. I'm greedy just by mentioning it. What kind of feast are you going to make this time?"
“Make Western food!”
After Lu Chongfeng finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the kitchen, went to the living room, picked up the phone, and asked someone to buy ingredients for Western food.
Liang Xin heard the shredded cheese, brown sauce, and butter in the kitchen and couldn't help but laugh, "So professional, butter is already available in the bakery, no need to buy it outside."
Lu Chongfeng repeated Liang Xin's words into the microphone, made two more phone calls, prepared all the ingredients, and then walked back to the kitchen.
"I've eaten authentic local Western food before, so of course it's professional."
Liang Xin laughed again and took the washed potatoes to the tap to wash them. "Okay, for your feast, I have to finish my work early."
Lu Chongfeng walked over, hugged Liang Xin's waist from behind, leaned over and put his face against her neck, took a deep breath, and smelled the reassuring scent of the mixed body fragrance and vanishing cream. He relaxed his body and enjoyed the peace of mind and attachment.
Less than half a year after the family factory introduced the production equipment, the first batch of family employees who received technical training have become skilled workers on the production line. The experienced ones guide the newcomers and continue to trial-produce two types of Japanese-flavored instant noodles on the production line that were introduced along with the equipment and core technologies.
Liangxin's focus is still on new flavors. As long as Liangxin Mushroom Chicken Soup Noodles becomes famous, people will believe in the Liangxin brand and will naturally choose to try other flavors, which will naturally drive up sales of other flavors.
Although new flavors were her focus, since the technical part had been handed over to the technical support team of the Agricultural University and Japanese technicians, she no longer participated in the research and development process of the technical department.
With the carrot of 3% commission on the total sales of new flavors, the technical department raced against time, forgetting to eat and sleep, and it was common for them to work all night long.
Therefore, the technical department has made breakthroughs in the research and development of new flavors time and time again, striving for excellence.
Liang Xin predicted that the new flavor would be completely popular in a while, so she notified the marketing and packaging departments to hold a packaging design meeting.
"For food products like instant noodles, what attracts customers first is not the taste or the quality of the raw materials, but the packaging, so the packaging department of Conscience Instant Noodles is very important in the factory."
Hearing Liang Xin's affirmation, the staff and cadres who had originally marginalized themselves because they were assigned to the packaging department and thought they had not been able to learn technology from Japanese experts, suddenly felt as if a stream of sweet spring water was injected into their hearts, and listened to Liang Xin with full energy.
"Food packaging in the current market is basically made of simple paper, glass and metal, emphasizing real materials and word of mouth."
Liang Xin picked up instant noodles that were already on the market from other factories. "Plastic packaging is not yet popular in the market. The Hongqing brand instant noodles produced by Beijing Hongqing Food Factory only have these words written on them. This is the inherent thinking of relying on state allocation for a long time and not worrying about customers. With more than ten kinds of instant noodles on the market, in order to win in the market competition, in addition to product quality and publicity, there are more than ten kinds of instant noodles on the shelves. How can Liangxin brand instant noodles attract customers' attention in the first place? This is the key issue."
As soon as Liang Xin said this, the cadres in the packaging department felt extremely pressured instantly, and then they realized that what Liang Xin said just now about the packaging department being of vital importance was not just politeness or comforting words, they are really very important!
Li Mao is in charge of the packaging department, but she was busy dealing with the production department today and did not attend the meeting. Zhu Qiong, director of the packaging department, said, "I have also studied the packaging of instant noodles at home and abroad, and found that the colors of plastic packaging are very bright. Many brands also print photos of instant noodles on the packaging. There are soup and meat slices in the noodles, which makes people want to eat them. Should we do the same?"
"Director Zhu hit the core point."
After Liang Xin finished praising, she saw Zhu Qiong smile shyly and continued, "If we want to stand out from other similar products, we need to further upgrade the visual stimulation in the bright and attractive packaging to stimulate customers' consumption and purchase decisions. Since we are selling chicken noodle soup, we need to focus on the golden and shiny chicken stewed in the casserole, which is so tender that it makes people salivate, and supplement it with large pieces of mushrooms and cooked instant noodles. In addition to professional photography, we also need lighting, plating, and even materials other than food, so that the old hen, mushrooms and noodles look more attractive, to the point where you will drool at the sight of them."
The managers from the marketing and packaging departments nodded unconsciously after hearing this, thinking to themselves that he was indeed the factory director, as his mind was filled with things that ordinary people could never even think of.
Zhu Qiong said: "But in this case, Director Liang, I am not against your opinion, but when we investigated the packaging of other instant noodles before, we saw that there was a bowl of instant noodles cooked with meat slices and vegetables on the package, but after opening it, it was actually two different things. If we do the same, and the people's comrades accuse us of fraud, what should we do then?"
Liang Xin picked up a pack of Hongqing brand instant noodles. "Rather than using ordinary instant noodles in this way, which will lose competitiveness in the market, I would rather use idealized expression techniques to make customers have good associations and stimulate their desire to buy. As for what it looks like after unpacking, this is the next step of taste and quality competition. The technical department has been researching for so long just to differentiate the quality on the market. So even if there is no whole old hen as in the photo after unpacking, as long as the chicken soup sauce packet is brewed, the taste is the same. Combined with the photo on the package, it can bring a similar sense of satisfaction, thus achieving a psychological comfort effect. So in terms of taste and quality, we must also be the first in the market and be irreplaceable, so as to reduce the exaggerated and deceived mentality of customers caused by packaging."
“That makes sense.”
Deputy Director Kong of the Marketing Department nodded and said, "As long as we can win with quality, we don't have to worry about customers accusing us of fraud. Moreover, the old hen in the casserole on the package is guiding and telling readers that our sauce packets are made in this way. Just thinking about it can indeed achieve the psychological comfort effect that Director Liang mentioned. When I eat the instant noodles, I feel a sense of satisfaction when I fantasize like this."
"Of course, Director Zhu's concerns are also the key to avoid."
Liang Xin said: "So it is necessary to mark on the packaging that the pictures are for reference only and the actual product shall prevail. The core function of instant noodles is emergency food. Most people will only pay attention to its convenience and good taste. They will not really ask us to put an old hen in such a small packaging bag."
The worry in Director Zhu's eyes immediately disappeared, "Director Liang has considered everything. This shouldn't be a big problem."
Liang Xin picked up the bowl and fork she had drawn. "We also need to consider the long-distance passengers that have come from the south and north due to the reform and opening up and the market prosperity. So in addition to bagged instant noodles, I am also going to launch a bowl of instant noodles, which comes with this plastic fork. The packaging of the bowl of noodles is as important as the bagged packaging, so you will have to work hard next."
“It’s not hard!”
Zhu Qiong smiled and said, "We were just worried about having no work to do! We used to think we were unimportant, but after hearing what Director Liang said, we realized that our packaging department is responsible for the most important market competition. We are now full of energy!"
Others also rushed to say the same thing, and it seemed that they had been envious of the technical department and the production department for a long time.
Liang Xin smiled and chatted with everyone for a few minutes before the meeting ended.
When I returned to the office, I received a call from Yang Tao.
When Yang Tao returned to Beijing, Liang Xin was planning to go to CCTV together to discuss the sponsorship of the Spring Festival Gala, but Yang Tao said that as long as she had the final say, she would not have to leave the factory at a critical stage and make a trip to Beijing.
Liang Xin asked her to represent her family's factory and negotiate the sponsorship-related costs and arrangements with the Spring Festival Gala.
"Auntie Liang, it's settled." Yang Tao said on the other end of the phone, "Prime time before and after the news broadcast has been given priority to a state-owned refrigerator manufacturer and a liquor manufacturer. I thought of many ways and finally allocated a 15-second billboard advertising video at 7:59. In addition to 1,200 yuan in cash, I also promised 2,000 packs of conscience instant noodles."
Liang Xin breathed a sigh of relief, "This time and price cost is worth it!"
Yang Tao also breathed a sigh of relief, because she knew that the standard 15-second video one minute before the news broadcast was only half the price, but that was an administrative allocation that gave priority to large state-owned factories, and it was something that had been decided long ago.
Preparations for the Spring Festival Gala have just begun. Although few companies have thought of using the gala to advertise, as long as there is one more company, it will also be a competitor. In a society where the labels of capitalism or socialism still exist, those who want to raise some conditions to negotiate will also be cautious.
Yang Tao smiled and said, "Fortunately, we are still lucky. It just so happened that Director Li also wrote a letter to the factory and suggested that the instant noodles brand be called Conscience. Therefore, Conscience brand instant noodles was able to win the advertisement as a conditional advantage. The Spring Festival Gala advertisement was a three-second intermission advertisement. The advertisement was presented by displaying the factory name and address on the screen, and the CCTV announcer announced the factory name. In addition to this advertisement, we also negotiated a static subtitle with scrolling text above and below the screen. The price is the normal price, 500 per noodle. Because of the sponsorship of instant noodles, Director Li said that we don’t have to pay, and the name of Conscience instant noodles will be marked in the credits at the end of the Spring Festival Gala."
This was similar to Liang Xin's estimate. "Couldn't the soft implant be arranged?"
"At the table in the audience, Director Li said that the main purpose of the layout was a natural and simple party scene. The main task of the state's Spring Festival Gala is to create a festive atmosphere and focus on cultural dissemination, not for commercial interests. He chose Conscience Instant Noodles because he considered the brand promotion needs of the military-affiliated factory. For example, the 15-second billboard advertisement one minute before the Spring Festival Gala was allocated administratively. If other factories wanted to increase their prices to compete, they would be criticized for disrupting the state's propaganda order."
Liang Xin pinched her brows. Her brain often short-circuited after giving birth. Recently, her mind was full of the competition for the top spot in the Spring Festival Gala ads. She forgot that CCTV would officially establish an advertising department next year. "Yang Tao, you have worked hard. You have maximized the publicity. I am very satisfied with this result."
Yang Tao laughed over there, "I think it's not bad either, it's all because Aunt Liang thought about it early, otherwise it would have been too late, and it's also because you made the family factory something that many comrades are looking forward to, otherwise the administrative allocation would have been limited to the state-owned factories such as watches and bicycles. By the way, Aunt Liang, how should this advertisement be shot, do you have any ideas?"
"have."
Liang Xin smiled and said, "We are just waiting for you to finalize the advertisement before we proceed to the next step."
Yang Tao asked curiously, "What's the idea? Are you planning to invite a movie star to shoot it?"
“Instead of hiring movie stars, I plan to use children eating noodles in this commercial.”
Liang Xin said, "The new flavor is still in the research and development stage, and there is still half a year before the Spring Festival Gala. The enthusiasm caused by the name-calling in the Women's Daily has gradually subsided. I plan to put an ad in the newspaper again to find a conscientious advertising protagonist, and continue until the new product is launched. What do you think?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for several seconds. When Liang Xin was about to say "Hello", applause suddenly came from the other end of the phone.
After the applause stopped, Yang Tao sighed from the bottom of her heart: "Auntie Liang, I really admire that Japanese guy now. His eyes are so sharp! Others say he is stupid, but I think everyone else is stupid except him! You want to raise the attention of all comrades, young and old, to conscientious instant noodles!"
Liang Xin laughed after hearing this disguised compliment. "As for what to do, I have a few plans in mind, but I haven't decided on them yet. I'll contact you after I finish my work today and have time to think carefully and decide. I'll hand over this commercial to your production studio and designate you as the director."
Yang Tao laughed loudly on the other end of the phone, "Thank you Aunt Liang."
Before leaving get off work, Liang Xin went down to the workshop for a walk and took a look at the factory building bidding meeting. As before, she let the staff congress be responsible for the voting and did not participate in the selection of which engineering team and study group.
All departments of the factory are gradually getting back on track, and all problems have been sorted out. There is no need to come to her for everything. Liang Xin is focusing on the publicity and marketing work before the product is launched and does not plan to go to the farm in the next two days.
In the morning, Lu Chongfeng came back from drill and was about to take a shower when he ran into Liang Xin who had just gotten up. Her face, which had just woken up from a good sleep, had an alluring laziness about it. She stretched lazily, revealing her curves, and a small waist as white and delicate as vanishing cream was faintly visible.
Liang Xin had just picked up the toothbrush and was about to squeeze toothpaste when Lu Chongfeng picked her up, put her under the shower, and soaked her.
Lu Chongfeng held Liang Xin's hips and hugged her like a child. Liang Xin turned her head and bit his shoulder.
"You really are racing against time just like the technical department in our factory."
Lu Chongfeng tightened his jaw, hugged Liang Xin tightly, and paused for a moment before saying, "What do you mean? Are you saying that I am as skilled as the technical department of your factory?"
Liang Xin: “….”
I have been busy for several days and fall asleep as soon as I hit the bed at night.
What she meant was that she had just decided to stop going to the factory and work at home, but he pulled her into the bathroom early in the morning and did this in a hurry.
But Liang Xin was not prepared to explain any further.
In a sense, there is nothing wrong with what he said.
When Liang Xin was put down, her legs went limp, her face became more rosy and lazy, and she no longer looked tired like she had in the past few days. She looked like a flower that had been nourished by rain and dew.
After a short rest and breakfast, I went downstairs to find Dudu.
As a result, Dudu had already been taken away by Meiman next door to play.
The roses in the pergola were in bloom, with bright colors and rich fragrance. Liang Xin walked into the pergola with a pair of scissors. She relaxed for a rare moment and leisurely picked a few roses that were in full bloom and cut them.
Lu Chongfeng made a pot of tea and brought it over. "I'll come back at noon to make a big meal. You don't have to cook."
Liang Xin nodded, trimmed the branches, and went to wash the scissors. "Come back early."
Lu Chongfeng looked at the red roses on the table and asked, "Can I help you arrange the flowers?"
"Okay."
Liang Xin responded casually and turned on the faucet.
After I washed the scissors, I looked back and found that there was no one in the shed, and the roses that I had just trimmed on the table were gone.
Liang Xin thought that Lu Chongfeng took the roses into the living room to arrange the flowers, but when she walked into the living room, she saw neither flowers nor anyone.
Did you think she was going to put it upstairs?
Liang Xin walked towards the stairs to the second floor.
Lu Chongfeng, holding a bouquet of trimmed red roses, attracted countless eyes along the way from the staff quarters to the division headquarters building.
In the past, when cadres greeted Deputy Commander Lu, he would just nod normally.
Today, he took the initiative to introduce the flowers in his hand, "Flowers sent to me by my family."
"Deputy Commander Lu, you and Comrade Liang Xin have a really good relationship."
The cadres found that they were sincere but also spoke in a hurry, and unexpectedly found that they could get a smile from Deputy Commander Lu that was brighter than a rose.
So, they understood.
The only key to please Deputy Division Commander Lu is to praise the good relationship between Deputy Division Commander Lu and Comrade Liang Xin!
Lu Chongfeng held the flowers all the way to the office, filled an enamel jar with water, and then carefully placed a bunch of red roses in the enamel jar.
Looking at the gorgeous roses, Lu Chongfeng seemed to see Liang Xin and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Political Commissar Ji passed by the office door and was attracted by the roses on the desk. He asked, "Why did the flowers on your pergola get here?"
"Liang Xin just cut her hair this morning. She asked me to bring it to the office and put it up. Seeing the flowers is like seeing the person. This way I can see her during work hours."
Lu Chongfeng sighed and shook his head with a hint of pride, "I can't help it. My family members are too attached to me and don't want to be separated from me for even a moment."
