Chapter 438 People's Daily Interview
The two had not gotten along since they were young, and later when they went to work at a competing department store, their relationship became even worse.
Every time we meet, I feel uncomfortable if we don’t have a few words.
Yan Guohua glared at him and said, "What are you doing here, old man? No one would invite you here even if they looked down on you."
Chen Guangjian snorted coldly: "If the leader of the Commerce Bureau hadn't come over, I wouldn't bother to make this trip."
"Isn't it just a year-end sales event? You've made it known to everyone, as if you're afraid others don't know that this is all the Second Department Store can do."
Yan Guohua's eyebrows were furrowed. If he hadn't been concerned about the presence of so many people and the need to maintain his dignity as the general manager, he would have had a good talk with this old man.
"A leader will be here soon. I won't argue with an old man like you."
Yan Guohua snorted coldly and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Chen Guangjian also snorted coldly: "You talk as if I am willing to pay attention to you, you really know how to flatter yourself."
The two men glared at each other like fighting cocks, neither refusing to give in.
At this moment, a cough was heard behind them.
They both turned around at the same time, and when they saw the person coming, they immediately forced a smile on their faces.
"Director Sun, why did you come here by yourself? You didn't even tell me in advance so I could bring someone to greet you."
When Yan Guohua saw the person coming, he pushed Chen Guangjian aside with a smile on his face and walked forward.
The person who came was none other than Sun Chunhua, the director of the Commerce Bureau, whom Su Xiaoxiao had met several times before. Following her was Zhao Xuefeng, the director's secretary.
"No need to bother. I heard your promotion was going well, so I just came to take a look."
As Sun Chunhua spoke, his gaze fell on Su Xiaoxiao, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. "Comrade Su, I heard that you came up with the plan for this year-end promotion meeting. You are really young and promising. If your leaders hadn't refused to let you go, I would really like to transfer you to our Commerce Bureau."
Sun Chunhua has always admired Su Xiaoxiao and even wanted her to work as his secretary in the Commercial Bureau, but unfortunately Su Xiaoxiao refused.
Su Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed after being praised by two leaders in succession.
"Director Sun, you are too kind. These are just some clever tricks that are not worthy of public display."
Sun Chunhua smiled kindly: "You are so modest, girl. We are not strangers, so be generous."
At this point she changed the subject.
"It just so happens that I have something else I want to ask you."
The director of the Commerce Bureau asked her questions?
Su Xiaoxiao was suddenly flattered.
Chen Guangjian watched the two people chatting enthusiastically from the side and was so angry that he ground his teeth.
Why would a little girl be so highly regarded by the director? She just came up with an idea for a promotional annual meeting, like anyone could do it.
Just as he thought of this, he saw Yan Guohua next to him looking at him mockingly, and lowered his voice to his ear: "Old man, you don't think you can do this, do you? Don't be unconvinced. The country is full of talents. We are already old, so we should give opportunities to these young people."
Chen Guangjian knew that what he said was right, but he just didn't agree.
To be exact, he couldn't accept the fact that he was not even as good as a little girl.
While the two were talking, Su Xiaoxiao had already been pulled aside by Director Sun.
What could the director ask her for help with?
When Su Xiaoxiao was wondering, Sun Chunhua spoke.
"Comrade Xiao Su, can you also help me calculate, if I want to buy these things, how can I buy them more appropriately?"
It seems like this is another person who came to her to discuss a preferential purchase plan.
Since Director Sun asked, she was of course happy to serve.
He immediately took out a pen and paper to help Director Sun calculate, and in a short while he had written half a page.
"Director Sun, take a look, this is the most favorable combination."
Sun Chunhua took the note and read it, praising it profusely: "Oh, Comrade Xiao Su, you young people are really smart. I've been calculating for a long time and still can't figure it out. It's indeed much cheaper than my own plan."
Sun Chunhua said this, turned to Yan Guohua and said: "Your young comrade Su is really a talent. I think it would be better to second him to our Commerce Bureau for a few days."
Yan Guohua immediately became nervous upon hearing this. Comrade Xiao Su was an important talent in their department store, so how could he be loaned out? What if the Commerce Bureau didn't return him after he was loaned out? What would they do?
He could only laugh and say, "Comrade Xiao Su has to decide this matter himself. Our opinion doesn't count."
As he said this, he winked at Su Xiaoxiao desperately.
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless. It seemed that General Manager Yan was embarrassed to refuse Director Sun and wanted her to do it first.
However, she was indeed not interested in the Business Bureau.
The only thing she was interested in now was making money, and a department store was the best place for her to do that.
Thinking about it, she smiled and declined: "Thank you, Director Sun, but I don't know anything yet. I'm afraid that going there will cause trouble for you. I will study hard in the future and will definitely give it a try if I have the chance."
"Okay, let's make a deal. You must come if you have the chance."
Director Sun finished speaking with a smile, "The things at this sale are too cheap. I have to hurry and buy them before they're all snapped up by others."
Having said that, he waved to everyone and hurriedly left with the director's secretary.
After Director Sun left, Yan Guohua looked at Chen Guangjian with a smug look on his face.
"Old man, are you convinced? Director Sun even praised our promotion."
"Tsk, why are you so proud? This idea wasn't yours."
After saying this, Chen Guangjian ignored Yan Guohua and left with his hands behind his back. When he was far away, he hurriedly quickened his pace and ran towards the stall in front.
When he came just now, he saw that there were many defective products on sale, and the price was only 10% of the usual price, which was much cheaper than the internal price offered by their department store employees. He had to hurry and grab some.
It would be a waste not to take advantage of Old Man Yan.
The sale was so successful that all the merchandise on sale had been sold out before evening, even the defective items were sold out.
Yan Guohua's face was full of joy.
This can be considered as a small profit but quick turnover, although the profit from each product is not much, especially for defective products, basically losing money but gaining publicity.
But they sell a lot, and overall, the turnover is still very considerable.
All the items were sold out, and the salespeople worked together to help clean up. As they were packing, they saw a group of people walking towards them, and the people leading them were holding cameras in their arms.
When the people approached, Yan Guohua cleared his throat and said, "Hello, I am Yan Guohua, the general manager of the Second Department Store. May I ask who you are?"
The young man in the lead came forward with a smile and said, "Hello, General Manager Yan. We are from the People's Daily and have come to interview your department store. May I ask how you came up with the idea of holding a year-end sales meeting?"
Yan Guohua didn't expect that even the people from the city daily newspaper would come over. He cleared his throat and said, "Actually, the idea for this year-end promotion meeting wasn't mine. It was our Su Jingli's idea."
As he spoke, he called to Su Xiaoxiao, who was busy helping to move things next to him: "Xiao Su, come here for a moment. The comrades from our city's People's Daily are here to interview us. Please give them a good talk."
