C22 An Opportunity to be Promoted

After dinner, Mi Cai and I sent Mr. Justice out of the neighborhood. Mr. Justice's hotel was just across the street, but he had to leave tomorrow morning.

Before Mr. Justice left, I asked him, "Mr. Justice, when will you come to Suzhou next time?"

"Come when you have time. I will bring some rice and flour for you next time." Mr. Justice replied.

When Mr. Justice stressed on you, I felt helpless in my heart. The next time he comes, I will have already left Mi Cai's house and will be wandering in some corner of this city. In fact, I do not wish for Mr. Justice to come to Suzhou because I have achieved nothing. My dejection always makes me feel guilty when I face him.

Mr. Justice reminded me, who didn't say anything, "Remember to repair the leaking pipe when you go back later."

"I remember."

Mr. Justice nodded and patted my shoulder. Without saying anything else, he turned around and left.

Looking at Mr. Justice's back as he left, I know what he wanted to say to me, but he didn't say it out loud. He didn't want to give me too much psychological burden.

I lit a cigarette and I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. Today, Faang Yuan and Yem Yan got married. Jian Wei became Xiang Chen's girlfriend, and I... I don't care.

I think, I should go back and pack my luggage. Tomorrow night, I will find a place in this city where I can live peacefully but not with my life.

...

Mi Cai went upstairs first. I finished smoking a cigarette before going back.

After entering the room, I found a toolbox and replaced the leaking pipe that Mr. Justice mentioned. I also checked some other places and confirmed that there were no hidden dangers. Then, I returned to my room to pack my luggage.

Mi Cai stood at the door of my room. She asked me, "Did you fix the leaking pipe?"

"Yes, I have also checked other places. In the future, if the water pipe in the house is broken and there is a light bulb or something, you can call me and I will help you settle it." As I said that, I put the guitar into the box.

"Oh, but there are cockroaches in the house. Do you have a way to chase them away?"

I smiled and joked with Mi Cai, "You can chase away such a fierce living person like me. Can't you handle a few cockroaches?"

Mi Cai did not say anything and just looked at me.

"I was joking with you. After work tomorrow, I will buy some insect powder and sprinkle it on the bathroom. It will soon be winter and cockroaches usually don't move, so you don't need to worry."

"Oh."

Mi Cai went back to her room again. I was still packing my luggage. Halfway through packing, I sat on the bed and rested. I looked around and took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, but it did not light up in the end. I've been a bastard for so long, so when I leave, I'll just be a man of my word. Even though this is just a trivial matter.

After putting the cigarette back into the cigarette box, I lay on the bed and habitually looked at the ceiling. I emptied my mind and didn't want to think about what happened at noon.

...

The next day, I went to work step by step. Today, I have another appointment with the representative of the GUCC. This is the last time the GUCC will contact us in front of the cabinet in our mall. If everything goes well, I will have a short chance to catch my breath. Ever since Faang Yuan gave me the responsibility of the GUCC, I have been overworking.

The representatives of the GUCC and I are standing in the plaza of the mall discussing the matter of advertising slots.

The representative from the GUCC asked me, "The advertising slots you promised to give to us at the center of the south gate must be approved as soon as possible to cooperate with our opening promotions."

"Definitely not a problem. We have already reserved this advertising slot for your GUCI for a long time. The fact that you are able to enter has also increased the management level of our mall to a certain extent. The quality resources of the mall will definitely be given to the international first-rate brands first."

The representative of the CUCC nodded and said, "Our GUCC is willing to enter your shopping mall because we have seen your sincerity in the proposal. Baoli Department Store is not the only high-end shopping mall in Suzhou!"

"Yes." I replied, but I was unwilling to say too many flattering words.

After accompanying the representative from GUCC around the mall, she suddenly stopped and looked at the promotional poster placed in the middle of the aisle.

"Miss Zhao, what's wrong?" I was a little puzzled. The promotional poster that she was looking at was the one that Le Yao had shot back then.

"What do you think about this 2D model?" She asked me.

"The feeling of the mirror is very strong, and it has good plasticity as well. Her temperament and appearance are more internationalized, and she can create an artistic advertisement image. Oh right, she still has a quarter of Italian blood." I answered truthfully.

"That's quite a coincidence. Our GUCI is an Italian brand. Are you very familiar with her?"

I was stunned for a moment before I replied, "She can be considered a friend."

Miss Zhao nodded and looked at Le Yao on the poster. After a moment, she said to me, "I feel that her image and temperament are very suitable for our product positioning. Contact her to help us film a group of promotional posters for our opening."

I felt a little troubled and said, "I'm afraid not. She is currently filming in Heng Dien Town. She should not have the time for these few months."

Miss Zhao frowned and said," I don't want to hear the word 'afraid'. Your answer will make me doubt the execution ability of your shopping mall. We have already discussed to this point. I don't want such a small matter to affect our cooperation. "

Such a direct threat made me unhappy, but when I thought about how this project was related to Faang Yuan's career and future, I did not flare up, but I instinctively did not want to contact Le Yao. Furthermore, to produce such a promotional poster, I might have to go somewhere else to take a look. It wasn't something that could be done in a day or two, and Le Yao, as a new member of the crew, had joined the crew. It was impossible for her to let the entire scene play along with her time. As Le Yao, she naturally treated filming as the top priority. I asked her to come back to make things difficult for her.

"Miss Zhao, I tried my best to contact her, but whether or not I can spare time, I can't guarantee it for you." I replied, but in my heart, I didn't intend to contact Le Yao.

Miss Zhao impatiently waved her hand and said, "Forget it. I will not make things difficult for you on this matter. I will go and talk to Manager Chen." After saying that, she left me and walked towards the office area alone.

...

As I expected, after returning to the office for a short while, the manager on the other side called me to inform me.

I felt a wave of displeasure in my heart. She was obviously using her superior to pressure me. She was too lazy to talk too much nonsense with a small employee like me.

When I entered the manager's office, the manager, Chen Jingming Long Yan, unhappily sat on the office chair.

"I'm Manager Chen."

"Do you know why I'm looking for you?" Chen Jingming asked me coldly.

"I don't know." I replied in a negative manner.

Chen Jingming knocked on the table and raised his voice. "Zhao Yang, why are you so confused about the situation? GUCC is the eighth international brand to enter our shopping mall. Do you know what this means to our shopping mall? It means that according to the international rating standards, our shopping mall has officially reached the standard of a top tier B department store! It has a milestone meaning!"

" Manager, I know if you don't answer yourself. "

Chen Jingming suppressed his anger and said to me, "If there is an accident at this critical moment, not only you, but the entire planning department will not be able to escape!"

"Don't make things difficult for me. What can I do if the flat model can't arrange the schedule? Furthermore, both parties have invested a large amount of manpower into the project to set up the cabinet in our shopping mall. For a small matter like advertising the poster, it's not to the extent of ruining the cooperation that we've been discussing for so long."

"Before the contract is officially signed, no one can take any chances. Other shopping malls are eyeing the brand of GUCC like a tiger watching its prey. We can't rule out the possibility that GUCC will temporarily stop the cooperation plan." Chen Jingming's expression became even more serious as he said.

I continued to say helplessly, "Even if the company opens me up, I can't pack the tickets for this matter!"

Chen Jingming stared at me with a hair-raising gaze for a long time before saying, "I'm afraid you still don't know about one thing. The board of directors values the matter of the company setting up a special cabinet in our company. If we can successfully set up the cabinet, there will be a major personnel change in our planning department. As the person in charge of the entire project, Faang Yuan will have a chance to become the deputy manager of the planning department. As for you... you will have a great chance to replace Faang Yuan and become the team leader of the document and planning team! "
