Chapter 81 Little Heartless
The assistants around him were all very curious about the lunch box that Gu Xiucheng brought to the company. Until they officially started work, everyone was still curious.
But when it came time to actually work, they put aside their curiosity. After all, they were an elite team trained by Gu Xiucheng himself, so they did have some quality.
This morning's work was relatively easy, with only one meeting, and everyone in the President's Office breathed a sigh of relief.
Not only is the workload less, but most importantly, they can see that Gu Xiucheng is in a good mood, so President Gu should not have a gloomy face during today's meeting, and this morning's time will be very enjoyable.
Sure enough, when the morning meeting started, Gu Xiucheng's expression was much softer than usual. Such an expression was rare on Mr. Gu's face.
As Gu Xiucheng's assistants, they have studied Gu Xiucheng's little expressions very thoroughly.
They know exactly when they are in a good or bad mood, when they are a little happy, and when there is a force 10 gale.
However, there were always signs that Mr. Gu was in a good mood in the past. This time, they were a little confused. However, it indirectly confirmed once again that Mr. Gu might really be in love. Only love can change a usually extremely cold man so quickly.
Of course, facing Gu Xiucheng's performance, they were extremely happy. It would be best if Gu Xiucheng could maintain this state all the time.
After all, some time ago, Mr. Gu always had a cold face, as if he had suffered some injustice.
Damn it, who in this world would dare to wrong Mr. Gu? And seeing that Mr. Gu looked so resentful, it was even more strange that he hadn't retaliated yet.
Now the truth is out. If they were really dating that person, they thought that Ning Mingluo was busy with work before, so she had no time to talk about love with Mr. Gu, which made Mr. Gu look very bad during that time.
Everyone exchanged glances privately, and their gossipy thoughts alarmed Gu Xiucheng. When his own president glanced at him, he quickly sat down and dared not to think about it anymore.
Gu Xiucheng noticed that his assistants seemed to be distracted all the time today, but he didn't understand why. However, he didn't pay too much attention to them, as long as it didn't affect their work.
The main content of today's meeting is about the plan to launch new products under Huangchao's beauty brands in the second half of the year.
The beauty line under Dynasty was initially managed by Gu Xiucheng's mother, but after Gu Xiucheng became an adult, the two parents discussed and agreed that Gu Xiucheng was fully capable of shouldering the burden of the group, so they handed all affairs over to Gu Xiucheng.
Although Gu Xiucheng is not very proficient in cosmetics, he is very good at business.
There is a professional team for the research and development of cosmetics and skin care products. Gu Xiucheng does not get involved in this part and is only responsible for capital investment. Sales are Gu Xiucheng's area of dominance, and he is very good at operations. The business of this beauty line is getting better and better, and it has firmly established itself as the leading cosmetics brand.
Mother Gu said that she felt her son could do it.
Today is the meeting to discuss the publicity and management plan for the second half of the year.
"We haven't had a spokesperson for our beauty line. After discussions this year, we all agreed that we could add more spokespersons, or invite brand friends. This is the general direction of our business. Although our sales have always been in a leading position, the growth rate is not significant compared to the sales data of our own brand."
With the endorsement of a celebrity spokesperson, perhaps you can break through the status quo and reach a higher level.
Gu Xiucheng had very high demands and expectations of them, so they naturally racked their brains to find a solution.
The project team gave Gu Xiucheng a general outline of the plan.
Gu Xiucheng glanced at the plan in his hand, tapping the table lightly with his fingers.
"Do you have any ideas about what kind of spokesperson to choose?"
This sentence was equivalent to indirectly agreeing to this plan. As long as the right spokesperson was found, it could be implemented. Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
They were afraid that this plan would be rejected. After all, they had never hired a spokesperson before, and they were worried that Gu Xiucheng would not be willing to accept such an arrangement.
"We haven't officially contacted any candidates yet, but we have our own entertainment company. Regardless of personal reasons or other reasons, choosing an artist under our own company is the best choice."
Knowing yourself and your enemy, you can feel more at ease using your own artists without having to worry about a sudden collapse one day that would affect the entire brand.
Another person chimed in, "We think Mr. Zhou Shiyi is a very good choice. He has a large fan base and is well-known both domestically and internationally, which fits the requirements for a spokesperson. As a popular actor, inviting him to work with us is the best choice."
Gu Xiucheng narrowed his eyes. "We can hire a spokesperson, but the fundamental philosophy of our beauty brand is to restore natural beauty. I think you all know that Zhou Shiyi has had plastic surgery. Do you think he's a suitable spokesperson?"
Zhou Shiyi's image was not as good as it is now. He was unwilling to accept this so he started the project. People in the circle knew a little about it, but he has never officially responded to this issue to his fans and audiences.
When this matter was pointed out without hesitation, there was no unusual expression on the faces of other people, except for the person who made the suggestion, who had a hint of obscurity on his face.
Gu Xiucheng ignored the man and said directly, "If you want to hire a spokesperson, then we should do it openly and transparently. This time, the selection is open to all artists in the industry. The basic requirements will be determined after discussing with Tang Xiuwen."
Gu Xiucheng finally decided on the selection method.
The meeting ended and everyone left in twos and threes.
The person who had just suggested that Zhou Shiyi be the spokesperson gritted his teeth and left.
Found a convenient place to make a phone call.
Call Zhou Shiyi.
Zhou Shiyi on the other side couldn't wait to ask, "How is it going? Has the spokesperson issue been finalized?"
Zhou Shiyi received the news about the spokesperson proposal in advance, but he didn't know whether Gu Xiucheng would agree. However, Zhou Shiyi still made preparations. If it could be approved, he would definitely be the best candidate for the spokesperson.
He is the most famous actor under Shengshi, with works and fame both at home and abroad. He also won a prize some time ago and is very popular. He feels that Gu Xiucheng will never reject him no matter what.
But the man's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Zhou Shiyi's head.
The man repeated Gu Xiucheng's words.
Zhou Shiyi gritted his teeth, feeling somewhat unwilling. This was the first time that Dynasty had chosen a spokesperson, and it went without saying how valuable this title was.
Whether it was to strengthen his relationship with Gu Xiucheng or to benefit his own career, it would be of great help. He couldn't miss this opportunity.
"Mr. Wang, I really have no idea what to do. Who else has my level of fame these days? Besides, my endorsement fee doesn't have to be that high. You know, please think of a solution for me." Zhou Shiyi said in a soft voice.
Zhou Shiyi is handsome and usually acts like a celebrity. He is high and mighty and extremely valuable. But now he is begging him, which greatly satisfies Mr. Wang's vanity.
A smug smile flashed across his face, and he coughed lightly: "Don't worry, it's just an open selection, there is still a lot of room for maneuver. When the time comes, the people in charge of the selection will choose you, and Mr. Gu will have no other choice."
The selection of a spokesperson should be done with caution, but if everyone agrees, Mr. Gu should not act on his own.
Besides, Mr. Wang felt that it was unnecessary for Gu Xiucheng to go through the motions of public selection instead of using his own famous and capable people.
What's wrong with plastic surgery? How many people in this circle have not had plastic surgery?
And he is just a spokesperson. Mr. Gu doesn’t really have that much time to care about this matter.
Gu Xiucheng didn't care about the unrest among his subordinates caused by this plan. He was currently having lunch with Ning Mingluo on a video call.
"The bottom layer is soup. Be careful not to get burned." Ning Mingluo watched Gu Xiucheng open the lunch box and gave serious instructions on the phone.
After Gu Xiucheng arranged everything, he looked at Ning Mingluo on the other side of the phone screen.
"Why didn't you come to the company to accompany me at noon?" accused Ning Mingluo.
Ning Mingluo blinked: "I'm too tired. I want to rest at home."
The main reason is that he is too conspicuous every time he goes to the company, and there was also the last incident. Ning Mingluo still feels shy.
He didn't even have the courage to walk into Gu Xiucheng's office.
Gu Xiucheng snorted and then turned his gaze to the lunch prepared by Ning Mingluo.
The lunch was very sumptuous, and Gu Xiucheng's eyes softened.
"From now on, just rest well in the morning on your day off and don't get up to help me with this."
Ning Mingluo shook her head. "Preparing lunch for my boyfriend is a pleasure. You can't deprive me of this pleasure."
"I can't argue with you." Gu Xiucheng smiled dotingly.
Mr. Gu, who always has an advantage at the negotiation table, said that he is not as good as a young man in his early twenties.
No one would believe this if I told them.
"Try it and see if it tastes good."
After eating, Gu Xiucheng praised the food for a long time out of courtesy. Ning Mingluo smiled. Although they were separated by a screen, both of them were very happy eating.
After dinner, Gu Xiucheng looked at Ning Mingluo lying on the bed on the other side of the screen, ready for a nap, and wanted to skip work again.
"Luoluo, will you be scared or lonely sleeping alone? I'll go back and keep you company."
"No, just go to work." Ning Mingluo said and hung up the phone coldly.
"You little heartless one."
After Ning Mingluo hung up the phone, he did not go to sleep immediately. He lay on Gu Xiucheng's pillow, as if he was wrapped in Gu Xiucheng.
He actually wanted Gu Xiucheng to come back, but if he came back it would delay his work, and Gu Xiucheng would have to find another time to work overtime. He didn't want Gu Xiucheng to be so tired all the time.
Ning Mingluo fell asleep thinking about Gu Xiucheng.
In the office, Gu Xiucheng operated the computer, and what was displayed on the desktop was no longer the work file, but a surveillance screen.
In the picture, Ning Mingluo was lying on the bed in their bedroom, like a little prince.
