The person on the other end of the phone at Hetian's headquarters was the head of Hetian Cinemas, who immediately asked Wei Qigang what he meant.
Wei Qigang was unaware of what had happened that had drawn the company's CEO's questioning, and could only ask in bewilderment, "What are you talking about?"
The CEO of Hetian snorted coldly and asked Wei Qigang if he planned to privately antagonize Hongxin Plaza, which is now renamed Fanyue Shopping Center:
"Then you can justify moving the cinema chain from a top-tier location in the center of the plaza to a third-rate plaza developed by your brother-in-law?"
"Hmph, Wei Qigang, everyone in the company knows your selfish motives, but I, '690,' never expected you to stab the company in the back like this in the end."
Wei Qigang was sweating profusely from the questioning. Actually, the relocation of the cinema chain was no big deal.
With so many branches under the Hetian Cinema chain, all sorts of troubles inevitably arise.
Few businesses are always smooth sailing and have everything go smoothly.
Wei Qigang thought that even if he fell out with Fanyue Shopping Center, it would only make his year-end financial statements look a little worse.
Who knew that the order would be discovered by the boss within minutes of being sent out? And he also knew about his little scheme: to move the cinema chain to his brother-in-law's place to get some accreditation for his small activity center. It's better to have someone else work for you than to work for someone else.
Wei Qigang wanted to promote his brother-in-law's business because he also had a stake in it.
I didn't expect my little scheme to be exposed so quickly.
Wei Qigang, who had just been passionately cursing Xiao Zhu's assistant, was now completely deflated.
"President Wei, I didn't think this through. But since Fan Yue Real Estate is so aggressive, I just wanted to try and recover as much of the company's losses as possible."
"It wasn't that I embezzled public funds to enrich myself."
After Wei Qigang's explanation, it was unclear whether the CEO of Hetian on the other side believed him.
The CEO of Hetian simply snorted coldly:
"So you're saying you didn't embezzle public funds? Does this count as official business?"
"You made official business without informing your superiors or senior management, and instead made decisions on your own. Did you think we would never find out?"
"Wei Qigang, you're incredibly audacious!"
Wei Qigang could only repeatedly assure him that he had no ulterior motives and promised to continue liaising with Fanyue Shopping Center:
"We will do our best to salvage the company's image."
Only after repeated assurances did the CEO of Hetian finally let Wei Qigang go.
After hanging up the phone, Wei Qigang felt increasingly unwilling to accept it.
How did the higher-ups find out about this?
His original plan was to act first and report later, after the cinema chain was relocated, that Fanyue Shopping Center had "made the first move".
By then, Hetian Cinema had already moved to his brother-in-law's territory, and even if the company assessed the losses, it would never decide to relocate Hetian Cinema again in the short term.
He and his brother-in-law could also take advantage of this incident to attract investment using the name of Hetian Cinema.
Now he's pocketed all the fame and fortune. Even if the CEO of Hetian wants to fire him, he has enough money to live a carefree life.
But now, all those plans have come to nothing.
Wei Qigang really wanted to call Assistant Zhu into his office and give him a good scolding. It was very likely that Assistant Zhu knew who had tipped off the company to head office, or it might even have been Assistant Zhu himself.
But no matter which option he chose, Wei Qigang dared not act on his own.
Now, not only has he failed to profit at the expense of the company, but he's also been blacklisted by the boss.
If I anger the boss again and he finds out that I'm still investigating who tipped me off, wouldn't that be a huge slap in the face for him?
Wei Qigang dared not, so he could only swallow his anger.
After renovation and restocking, Baiyue chain supermarkets have resumed operations throughout the city.
On the eve of its opening, Wang Wei's sales department had already helped Baiyue complete a round of promotional work.
Temporary workers were hired to distribute brochures and coupons for various stores during the opening period on the streets and alleyways.
However, the discount period for Baiyue is waived by Lu Fan and will not harm the profits of manufacturers and distributors.
Wang Wei wanted to check Lu's soy sauce's offline sales, while Zhou Huan wanted to check Baiyue's daily profit and sales revenue.
They happened to meet at the main store.
"Hello, this is a special offer of 33 yuan. Would you like a sample pack of Lu's soy sauce?"
"This is a free benefit; you can collect it at the counter by presenting your receipt."
Baiyue Supermarket's promotional activities will last for a month, during which all products on the supermarket shelves priced at 3.9 will be discounted by an additional discount.
Consumers can also redeem discounted items at each price level by presenting their shopping receipt from the same day.
The cashier is also responsible for guiding customers and directing them to the counter to collect their items.
Lu's Soy Sauce offers a perk for every spending level, meaning it's hard to avoid it.
This clearly shows how much profit Lu Fan sacrificed for the soy sauce factory's promotional efforts.
Both Wang Wei and Zhou Huan were somewhat worried that if they expanded their operations too much, but sales didn't increase and even decreased.
Would President Lu, in his anger, make fun of the two of them?
