Chapter 78 Reasons
Although they discussed a lot that night, receiving Lu Chaoju's investment was a complete surprise. Of course, it was undoubtedly a good thing. Lu Chaoju not only brought her capital, but also talent and resources. A professional design team helped her develop her brand identity and refine minimalist packaging to better highlight the product's strengths. A dedicated marketing team quickly developed online and offline channels, and a large-scale marketing campaign was also launched.
The company operated non-stop, and Xu Mo settled down in the product laboratory. She contacted the product formula technician introduced to her by Lin Jingchuan. They researched the market demand, visited many raw material manufacturers together, and finally finalized the product formula after experiments. It did not have so many fancy additives, but the raw materials and processing process were absolutely fresh, safe and environmentally friendly.
Perhaps they inadvertently grasped the core needs of most customers, and coupled with cost and pricing advantages achieved through supply chain management, the company's first product launched to positive market response. Following this success, the team began to summarize their experience and establish a comprehensive, proven management system from R&D to market launch. The second and third products are currently under development.
Xu Mo finally got some rest. For nearly six months, she'd been utterly busy, constantly on the go, one meeting after another. Lu Chaoju offered generous compensation, but also demanded strict requirements. When the launch of the first product ran into problems, he summoned Xu Mo to Shanghai to pressure her, coldly informing her that according to the contract, if the product didn't launch successfully, she would have to buy back a certain number of shares.
She couldn't sleep that night, calculating how much debt she would still have if she bought the property back after losing everything.
The process was really difficult, but fortunately the result was good. The current result can be regarded as a good end of a stage. The brand has gained popularity, sales have increased, and research and development has been carried out in full swing.
Lu Chaoju seemed very satisfied, and his attitude towards her was much better during this period.
When sales reached 50 million, the team held a celebration party.
Lu Chaoju arrived. He had just gotten off the plane and Xu Mo drove to pick him up.
She bought a car, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Lu Chaoju sat in the passenger seat and jokingly said, "Have you made a fortune recently?"
Xu Mo scanned the code and came out, saying, "Thanks to Mr. Lu, I made a small profit."
Lu Chaoju smiled: "It mainly depends on your hard work."
"Thank you." Xu Mo pointed to the coffee beside her, "I just bought it."
“Iced Americano.”
Lu Chaoju picked up the coffee, took a look at it, and put it back. "Thank you. I'm trying to stay healthy lately, so I don't drink iced coffee."
"Health preservation?"
"Mia and I are trying to get pregnant recently."
Xu Mo was slightly stunned, but actually she was not really surprised. They had been reconciled for a long time, and it was with her encouragement that they became reconciled.
She smiled and said, "Congratulations."
Lu Chaoju tilted his head to look at her: "What about you?"
"Me?" Xu Mo shook her head. "Mr. Lu, my eyes are full of work right now. I don't have the mind to think about anything else."
She is just a professional manager under the capital, and she dare not show any sign of slacking off.
"There's more to life than just work," Lu Chaoju said calmly. "Although I'm your investor, I don't mean to stop you from dating."
Xu Mo thought, you are right, you actually give people time to fall in love.
"Have you been in contact with Lin Jingchuan recently?" he asked suddenly.
Hearing the name, Xu Mo's lips moved slightly and her grip on the steering wheel tightened.
Lin Jingchuan, a vague face emerged in her mind, and the name seemed a little unfamiliar.
Lu Chaoju noticed her changing expression and asked, "Do you know why I voted for you?"
"Why?"
"It's not because you graduated from a prestigious university or worked for a famous company," Lu Chaoju said. "It's because your ex-husband is Lin Jingchuan, a well-known figure in the feed and food industry. Do you know Cheng Shin? Its market share had been eroded by Landa, but after Lin Jingchuan joined, the situation was reversed, and it's now back on track."
Zhengxin, how could she not know? It was the Zhang family's company, and perhaps it was also the reward for Lin Jingchuan to marry Zhang Hui.
Xu Mo lowered her eyelids: "You're hurting my feelings a little bit when you say that."
Lu Chaoju raised his eyebrows. "There's nothing to hurt your pride about this. Resources are also a manifestation of your ability. Your ex-husband is a top professional manager in the industry, which is also one of your abilities."
Yes, she did receive help from Lin Jingchuan. He introduced her to the company's current R&D director, who was very capable but a little arrogant. He had also started his own business. She didn't know how Lin Jingchuan had persuaded him to join her small company with nothing.
Xu Mo said: "You are right, he did help us a lot, but he has a new life now."
"A new life?"
"Yes, he should be getting married to Zhang Hui, or he has already gotten married," said Xu Mo.
Lu Chaoju was a little surprised: "Really?"
"you do not know?"
Lu Chaoju spread his hands: "Sorry, I really don't know."
He wasn't very familiar with that circle, but the media should have reported on this kind of thing. Lu Chaoju took out his mobile phone and searched for related keywords, but only saw some gossip media's speculations from a long time ago.
"Have you confirmed this with him?" Lu Chaoju asked.
"I asked him and he didn't deny it," she said.
Lu Chaoju looked out the window: "I thought he helped you so much because he still had feelings for you."
Xu Mo smiled helplessly: "Probably not. He helped me because he must be a very good person."
There was nothing complicated about the celebration banquet. Apart from eating, there was also the distribution of money. The company's brand director presided over the banquet. The atmosphere was lively and everyone got at least a four-digit red envelope. Everyone was very happy. Many people came to toast Xu Mo. She was a little drunk and found a corner to sit down, her mind fuzzy.
Perhaps it was because Lu Chaoju mentioned it in the car that she couldn't help but recall many things that happened when she was with Lin Jingchuan.
In fact, during that marriage, Lin Jingchuan treated her very well.
When she wakes up in the morning, there is always breakfast he made on the table, and when she goes on a business trip, he will come to accompany her without fail.
He was the first person I saw when I opened my eyes after the car accident, and he was also the one who compromised after the quarrel.
During that time, she was frustrated at work and was not in a very good mood. She always lost her temper for no reason and said some harsh words to him, but every time he silently digested her emotions.
He had never used cold violence against her.
Even after the divorce, he still thought about her. In fact, whether her company was doing well or not had nothing to do with him, but he still helped her find the company's R&D personnel.
Xu Mo shook the wine glass and stared at the red liquid inside. She felt a little ridiculous. When she was angry, she never thought that the other person would be hurt, but now she was remembering the good things about him. What was the difference between her and Zhao Tingyu back then?
After drinking the wine in the glass, Xu Mo staggered to the bathroom.
