Management? Xu Keke felt somewhat helpless. She didn't want to manage. But looking at the pairs of expectant eyes before her...
With Director Du, who was also eager to try his luck, beside her, Xu Keke knew that she definitely couldn't escape today.
She cleared her throat, but before she could speak, a young man with an unconventional style pushed open the conference room door and swaggered in.
He was breathing heavily, clearly having just run, and the curls on his head were trembling slightly with his breathing.
He was very handsome, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a tall stature. He was wearing a khaki trench coat, and although his floral shirt underneath didn't reveal much, its bright colors made it particularly eye-catching.
Having been at this factory for so long, Xu Keke really didn't remember ever seeing this person before.
"Guodong, Wei Guodong, come and sit down. Here..."
Although the meeting room in the factory wasn't very big, it was more than enough to accommodate the seven or eight of them.
There were still quite a few empty chairs nearby, but the sales staff were all enthusiastically inviting him over.
This was somewhat unexpected for Xu Keke. In the eyes of later generations, his attire made him a pioneer of this era, one of the earliest people to have a sense of self-awareness regarding individual beauty.
However, in the eyes of most people, he would be someone who doesn't do proper work and wouldn't be accepted by the general public. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been insisted on being their rumored lover.
Surprisingly, he was quite popular in the sales department.
Xu Keke looked at him curiously.
Hearing his name alone, she always assumed he would be an honest, unassuming factory worker. She never expected him to be such an unconventional person.
Factory Director Du noticed that Xu Keke didn't seem to recognize Wei Guodong, so he smiled and introduced him to her.
"This is Wei Guodong. He's often away on business trips, so you probably haven't seen him much. But he's a real talent in our sales department. Right now, all the orders for our factory are brought back by him all by himself."
"Hey, don't say that. What kind of capable person is he?" Wei Guodong found a seat and sat down, saying nonchalantly, "It's just that I have a cousin who is the manager of a department store in Shanghai."
Wei Guodong raised his hand and gave Xu Keke a polite bow, "Everyone says you're the new section chief, but I didn't know you were taking office today. I'm late, please forgive me!"
Xu Keke looked at Director Du with a puzzled expression.
"Temporarily, temporarily!" Factory Director Du didn't dare look at Xu Keke, turning to ask the sales department staff.
"Did I say that I'm temporarily serving as the section chief?"
Although they didn't understand the difference, these people echoed the sentiment, "Yes, yes, yes, Director Du told us that he was temporarily taking over as section chief."
Knowing that her initial words had been wasted, Xu Keke was too lazy to argue anymore.
"Why is it only Master Wei...?"
"You're too kind. You can call me Xiao Wei, or like everyone else, Wei Guodong. I'm only twenty-four, which is quite a bit younger than you."
Wei Guodong was being insincerely polite. The veiled meaning in his words made Xu Keke laugh. It seemed the rumors about them were making him very unhappy.
That's true. Such a handsome young man, dressed so fashionably, is inexplicably getting involved with someone like me, a married woman whose looks are only average. It's understandable that I'd be unhappy.
Xu Keke smiled at him, "Okay, Wei Guodong, I just want to ask, why is it that no one else can get orders except him?"
"Why else? Xinda Shoe Factory's shoes are the best-selling in our city. We can't compete with them."
"That's right! Now all the shoes sold outside are from their brand. Not only in our city, but even department stores in other provinces only recognize their brand."
"So, the factories are so busy that they ask us to process their products."
The sales team members all offered explanations to Xu Keke.
“If we don’t process shoes for them, we won’t have any work. But to be honest, the shoes our craftsmen make are of much better quality than theirs. It’s a pity that now people only recognize theirs, not ours.”
An older salesman surnamed Wang sighed.
Xu Keke possesses the original owner's memories, so she knows some things. It's just that the original owner doesn't usually pay much attention to things that don't concern her, so her understanding isn't as detailed.
After everyone had finished speaking, Xu Keke finally spoke up, "Since we're going to do sales, the first thing we need to do is give our shoes a name."
"Name it?" Factory Director Du looked at Xu Keke in confusion, not understanding what she meant.
“I know, it’s like White Rabbit candy. We need to come up with a name that people can remember as soon as they hear it,” Wei Guodong quickly replied.
“I’ve wanted to say this for a long time. Every time I go out and tell people that we are the Seventh Leather Shoe Factory, it’s such a mouthful. It doesn’t make us sound impressive when we sell shoes. And people can’t remember it either.”
This was definitely a frontline salesperson; he hit the nail on the head in just one sentence. Xu Keke understood why these salespeople liked him so much. He was quick-witted and could keep up with the conversation.
After listening to Wei Guodong's words, Director Du pointed at Xu Keke and said, "I knew it, Master Zeng, I knew you wouldn't let me down."
"You've disappointed me," Xu Keke rolled her eyes at him. "You're always looking for trouble. You've disrupted my plans once again."
With Xu Keke's suggestion, Wei Guodong first named a few brands. These were some of the more well-known brands on the market, including Xinda from their city, as well as Niu Tou and Hua Pai women's shoes.
With this as a starting point, everyone started discussing it, one after another. However, the name they came up with was a bit difficult to agree on; while others called it Ox Head, they were going to call it Horse Face.
There's another one that wants to be called Daxin. In short, they've been constantly oscillating around counterfeiting.
