Ning Weimin had no intention of correcting the malicious speculations and unfounded rumors about him by others in the company.
Because he doesn't care and understands two truths.
First, the statement "Rumors stop only among the wise" is simply nonsense.
In fact, many rumors have no logic at all and have nothing to do with whether the people spreading the rumors are smart or not.
Believe it or not, pass it on or not, it all depends on one's cognitive ability.
As a person who spreads rumors, the reason why he does this is entirely out of subjective emotions and interests of personal likes and dislikes.
So Ning Weimin really wants the rumors about him to stop completely.
Unless he becomes a person that others regard as unimportant and non-threatening.
How else to put it, if you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person?
Secondly, such rumors are also beneficial to Ning Weimin himself.
Ning Weimin realized very clearly that the reward for his work was given to him by Pierre Carton.
His status and power in the company were given and supervised by Song Huagui.
There is no doubt that the reason why Pierre Carton wanted to hire him was because he valued his ability and hoped that he would assist Song Huagui wholeheartedly.
But if he is strong enough in doing things and can coordinate the relationship between colleagues in all aspects, what will Song Huagui think?
Ning Weimin was his own boss.
He knows that no matter how generous a leader is, he will not hope to have a super capable subordinate who can also mingle with the grassroots people and have fun.
Then he wanted to win Song Huagui's support and trust and prevent Song Huagui from being afraid and suspicious of him.
You have to work alone to make your immediate boss feel at ease.
So to be honest, it doesn't really matter what his colleagues think about him privately.
As long as he can satisfy the French boss and "Madam Song".
In fact, he can even gain more respect and courtesy from others because of rumors.
The general requests and demands he puts forward will also be implemented more efficiently.
The simple truth is that even if it is not to curry favor with him, no one is willing to offend him easily.
In short, Ning Weimin, as a member who is incompatible with other people in the company, others are alienated from him and actively keep away from him.
This is actually exactly what he needs, and it is a very ideal state.
He himself enjoys it and is completely happy to see its success.
Perhaps precisely because of this, Song Huagui soon entrusted him with an important task.
On the morning of October 30, Ning Weimin, who was sitting at his desk reading a newspaper in the sun, suddenly received an internal call from Song Huagui.
Ask to come to her office.
Ning Weimin walked over without saying a word when he walked into the general manager's office next door.
I saw Song Huagui, who rarely appeared in the company, with his desk covered with construction drawings and clothing design drawings, and he was buried in a high-backed leather swivel chair and answering the phone.
When she saw Ning Weimin, she just nodded and made a gesture for him to sit down, and continued talking.
"Thank you, District Chief Zhou. I am very grateful for the district's support and trust. Thanks to your help, this matter was finalized so quickly."
"Then if you don't have any objections to the plan, we will start construction... Yes, we will send someone to communicate with the leaders of the Temple of Heaven Park on specific matters. Okay, okay..."
"As for the restaurant, we are still waiting for the drawings from France, and the investment amount has not yet been determined. Yes... there are so many things, let's take our time as usual... Okay, that's it, goodbye..."
In fact, this phone call alone has revealed a lot of content.
Ning Weimin instinctively realized that what Song Huagui was busy with might be related to these drawings or to the Temple of Heaven.
District Chief Zhou on the phone should be the top leader of Chongwen District.
Sure enough, he guessed it almost exactly.
When Song Huagui put down the phone, the mystery was officially solved.
Only then did Ning Weimin find out that Song Huagui had come to him to take charge of the decoration work of the Pierre Carton Clothing Exhibition Hall.
The venue for this exhibition hall is the Zhai Palace in the Temple of Heaven Park.
This thing stems from Pierre Catton's nature as a romantic artist.
After visiting the Republic several times, the French designer unknowingly became fascinated by the royal-style Forbidden City complex.
He loves it more and more and goes to visit the Forbidden City whenever he has time.
In addition to the cornices of the Forbidden City, he designed a series of women's clothing.
At the same time, I had a wonderful idea. At the beginning of this year, I came up with the idea of opening my own clothing exhibition hall in the Forbidden City.
In this regard, the Ministry of Textiles and the Ministry of Economic and Trade are willing to cooperate.
But the problem is that the Forbidden City is a national-level museum and a place that attracts much attention from people across the country.
If a clothing brand from a capitalist country is suddenly placed in the mix, no one is sure of the impact, so they can only choose another place.
The Summer Palace and Old Summer Palace are too remote, so we can only find solutions from Beihai and Temple of Heaven.
Finally, the leaders of Chongwen District were more concerned about this matter. They valued Pierre Carton's international influence.
So after negotiating with the Temple of Heaven Park, it was proposed that 40,000 square meters of Zhai Palace could be allocated to Pierre Carton.
This sincerity is so profound that it immediately compares to the small house in Beihai Park.
Pierre Carton was quite satisfied with the venue provided by the Temple of Heaven Park, so he not only reached a cooperation intention with the Chongwen District Government on this matter.
He also decided to open his Maxim high-end French restaurant in Chongwen District.
It is precisely because of the expectation of return on investment and in-depth cooperation that the district leaders worked hard to ask for approval and seal from their superiors.
No, all the procedures have been completed.
Although three months have passed since the time was confirmed.
But you have to know that such a big thing involves all aspects, and it would take a hundred chapters to cover it.
Such a secular version is already at the speed of light these days.
As for why this matter was handed over to Ning Weimin, it was also because Song Huagui was incapable of doing anything else.
Recently, she is not only busy setting up a factory with 300 people to start producing Pierre Carton clothing.
At the same time, he is also negotiating with the Foreign Trade Bureau on behalf of Pierre Carton for the export business of 100,000 silk scarves.
In addition, professional training for clothing models will also have to be restarted.
Moreover, at the same time as the opening of the showroom, Pierre Carton will hold another clothing exhibition with the same theme at the Capital Hotel.
As a promotion meeting for domestically sold clothing.
Then think about it, how could she be so busy?
Therefore, Ning Weimin is the only person in the company who can reassure Song Huagui that he has the ability to fight alone.
It became natural to be responsible for tracking this matter and supervising the construction.
The only thing Song Huagui can do for him now is to take him to visit the leaders of the Temple of Heaven Park in person.
Lest people look down on him because of his age.
It should be said that Ning Weimin was quite excited at this time.
This is because I have been feeling a bit busy recently.
He had been thinking about it on his own, for fear that Song Huagui would have some thoughts about him and that he would be put to death.
The second reason is because I didn’t expect that the company was so powerful that it could use the emperor’s palace as a showroom.
And the first task assigned to him was such an important job.
As a representative of the company, I went to discuss cooperation with the director of the Temple of Heaven Park. The thought of it made me angry.
Could it be that without even realizing it, my level was already high enough to reach the senior level?
This certainly made him a little proud.
Therefore, he really lived up to Song Huagui's trust and did not directly fulfill his promise.
Although the construction plan has been out for a long time and the builder has been found, many key models are also imported from France.
But he still looked at the construction drawings carefully and raised issues he thought were important.
"How long will the construction period be?"
"Mr. Catton hopes it will be within a month. But he is busy with other things in Europe, so of course the sooner the better."
"What is the main purpose of this showroom? Is it just conceptual promotion and publicity? Will there be on-site sales?"
"It should be mainly about display and promotion. Mr. Catton has his own showrooms in many international cities to promote his artistic pursuits and clothing design concepts. However, although there is no clear sales demand, he is not exclusive.
Of course it’s good to sell it by the way.”
"Okay, I still need to go to the site to have a look and learn more about it before I can make any comments. Can I make improvements to the plan and put forward new requirements for the park?"
Song Huagui smiled.
"Xiao Ning, you are indeed clear-headed. This is your advantage. I like to deal with people like you the most."
"Okay, let's make it clear that you can put forward opinions, and I will respect your opinion. But even if it is reasonable, whether it can be adopted in the end must be determined according to the actual situation."
"For example, whether it is pragmatic, whether it meets the needs of the PC brand, whether it involves the relevant regulations of the park, and what your opinion is from the Beijing Foreign Trade Company. After all, this showroom is jointly run by us and them..."
Ning Weimin nodded. "I understand, the current situation is that there are many Bodhisattvas and there are many restrictions. We can't completely make the decision ourselves, so stability is the main priority. Try not to take advantage of too many favors."
Song Huagui praised him happily again.
"You are really a smart person, you can tell everything at once."
"Well, let's go to the Temple of Heaven now, otherwise I won't be free in the afternoon."
"You can take these drawings, I have backups."
Naturally, Ning Weimin would not object and immediately started to clear the information on the table.
Song Huagui looked at him and suddenly remembered a few things.
"By the way, in view of your actual needs. During this period, you can hire a taxi, treat guests to dinner, etc., and the company can reimburse you. In addition, next week, the company will assign you a full-time female employee.
Assistant, help you run errands and so on..."
Ning Weimin was overjoyed immediately.
"Ah, thank you eldest sister, you really understand the sufferings of the people..."
Song Huagui immediately understood what he meant.
"What's the matter? It seems that you are already dissatisfied with yourself as the polished commander?"
Ning Weimin felt a little embarrassed.
"Hey, how can I? I just lament how I am so lucky. Thank you for this, eldest sister. You see, you don't have a full-time secretary yourself, but you think of me like this. I'm so touched..."
"Okay, don't say nice things. I have to tell you in advance, don't use this little girl as your subordinate. She hasn't really graduated from school yet. She is just an intern in our company.
And it’s a related household, don’t make it difficult for me to explain..."
Ning Weimin really understood now.
"No, no, I actually have nothing else to ask for. As long as she can help run errands and support the scene, that's fine."
