I sent the signed documents to the finance department. The finance department asked for my bank account number and said they would transfer the prepayment, totaling 100,000 yuan, to my account before 5:30 pm tomorrow. The remaining 100,000 yuan would be in place a month later.
Although I haven't earned as much as before, I'm still quite happy. After all, there's an element of luck involved in the Jiulongju business, so I have some doubts about myself. I hope to have other more practical projects to prove that I do have a very keen market sense.
It can't be that every time you make money it's just luck.
More than feeling joy, I want to do this well... because doing it well is a demonstration of ability; doing it poorly is like accepting Ye Zhi's favor.
Between us, there can only be fairness; it's no longer appropriate for us to have too many grudges and feuds.
With this feeling, I suddenly felt pressured... but this pressure was quickly transformed into motivation. I immediately called the advertising company responsible for the advertising design and asked them to come up with a design plan as soon as possible so that the advertisement could be launched on the market in the shortest possible time.
Yes, I can control the timeline for the other stages, but the design needs to be approved by the marketing department of "Cangshan Yishu" before the final advertisement can be launched.
The marketing department's demands for advertising design sound simple, but are actually very difficult to implement. They require that the final presentation of the advertisement must revolve around the high-end positioning. However, in reality, tissue paper advertisements are just a type of direct mail (DM) advertising, which is mostly used for price reductions and promotions, so it is essentially low-end.
The design proposal from the advertising agency was to add a gold trim effect to the tissues, making the outer packaging of the tissues as exquisite and high-end as possible.
I quickly called the tissue supplier again to ask if they could make the gold trim effect. They said it was no problem, but the process was more complicated, so each wipe would cost 2 cents more than before.
This means my profit will be 20,000 yuan less.
I accepted it, not for any other reason than to do my best to make this matter a success...
...
When I arrived at the company, I didn't even have time to catch my breath before putting on my work clothes and starting my day's work. Today seemed to be the weekend, so people were more willing to go out and stroll around, and there were far fewer people ordering takeout than usual.
After confirming, it really was the weekend, and I suddenly felt uneasy... Weekends are supposed to be for rest, but Manager Yao was on duty, and the finance department staff were also on duty... This could indicate something; it's very likely that Ye Zhi used her authority to give special approval to my advertisement.
After being busy for a while, I sent a message to Manager Yao after things calmed down. I tentatively asked, "Manager Yao, isn't it the weekend? Why aren't you all taking a break?"
"The sales targets are heavy lately. Not only will I not get a break this weekend, but I'll also have to work overtime next weekend."
"The finance department doesn't have any sales targets, so they shouldn't be this busy, right?"
"I don't know much about their side... I heard they're making a budget plan for the next quarter... It's rare that President Ye is here, so some financial expenditures need her approval, which means we have to work overtime."
"Oh, I always thought that large corporations had very strict work schedules, but I didn't expect there to be so much overtime work."
"The bigger the group, the more things there are to do...that's normal."
I preferred to believe what Manager Yao said, so I didn't think about the matter any further.
...
As darkness fell, I habitually glanced towards Cangshan Mountain while smoking. To be honest, Cangshan Mountain during the rainy season is hardly beautiful, as the mountaintop is always shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds, which looks particularly oppressive. In reality, the area outside the mountain is sunny, with stars and sunsets.
No one wants to stare at something depressing, so after a glance, I shifted my gaze to Erhai Lake opposite Cangshan Mountain... Erhai Lake is truly beautiful! Especially at sunset, the entire lake turns into a maple leaf-red color, and whenever a white cruise ship sails across the lake, it's like a cake that makes you feel particularly hungry... The lake is chocolate, and the cruise ships are the fruits adorning the cake.
I think I'm hungry.
Suddenly I thought of Yang Sisi, who went to Cangshan Mountain to pick matsutake mushrooms... She said she was going to come to my and Nicole's place to cook dinner tonight, I wonder if she's back yet.
I want to ask for leave again because I promised Yang Sisi we'd have dinner together tonight.
I racked my brains trying to come up with a reason to ask for leave... Actually, it's not easy to ask for leave. I can't just become a seasoned veteran at work after only a few days.
I decided to call Yang Sisi to test the waters... If she decides to cook somewhere else or forgets about it, I won't need to take leave to go back; if she insists on cooking at my place, I'll have to take care of her feelings even if it means skipping work.
Yes, her emotions are very important to me!
...
I dialed the number, but it was not connected. I had a bad feeling... Having lived in Dali for a long time, I know all too well what it means to not be able to connect. It's different here from Shanghai. Shanghai has almost no dead spots for cell phone signal, but there are many places in Dali where the signal doesn't reach, such as the top of Cangshan Mountain, or even halfway up the mountain.
She hasn't come down the mountain yet, has she?
I cracked my knuckles as I thought to myself: Who should I contact to find out Yang Sisi's whereabouts?
Aside from a few regular friends, we really don't have any mutual friends... Yang Sisi was introduced to Dali earlier than me, and she's lively and outgoing, so her circle of friends is even wider than mine... So I don't know which group she went up the mountain with today.
