I didn't think it was anything at first, but when Su Tao and I faced these female models in underwear, I felt a little embarrassed.
Su Tao also seemed a little embarrassed, her face was flushed, but she quickly introduced to me: "Mr. Chen, these are the newly launched Eve series."
To be honest, this is my first time to appreciate these exquisite and beautiful women's underwear so close.
Usually when I pass those lingerie shops on the street, I don't even dare to take a glance at them, for fear of being regarded as a fetishist.
And when I saw these cute little things now, I couldn't help but admire them.
Various materials, various colors, various styles, some are lace, some are dark flowers, some are hollow, and some are very sexy...
After reading it over and over, I asked Su Tao: "Did you design all this yourself?"
Su Tao smiled and nodded, and replied: "Yes, Mr. Chen, I was there the whole process from design to production."
I nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's very good. Once the distributor is satisfied, we can increase production efforts."
As I said that, I walked out of the fitting room and went to the design room outside. I saw that Su Tao's desk was full of various hand-drawn drawings.
It shows how attentive she is, there is almost no personal belongings on her desk.
She saw me staring at the desk, so she hurried over to clean it up, and sneered at me and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, it's too messy, I'll clean it up right away..."
I raised my hand to her and said to her: "It's okay. I think you are usually quite tired. In fact, the company is quite stable in all aspects now. You don't have to work so hard. You can rest when you need to."
Su Tao smiled coquettishly and said, "It's okay, Mr. Chen. I usually just take a break from drawing."
"I'll arrange an assistant for you."
Su Tao quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, I'm really fine by myself."
"You are now the design director of our company after all. It's time to have an assistant. Go down and look for one yourself. Just let me know when you've found one."
Su Tao seemed to have already chosen someone, so she immediately said to me: "Then it will be Ye Jiajia, I think she is quite good."
"She is deaf-mute, is it convenient?"
"Well, it's okay. I usually have a good relationship with her."
I nodded and said okay.
Su Tao said to me again: "By the way, Mr. Chen, one more thing is this series of underwear. I think we should hold a fashion conference. After all, it is our first time to make underwear. What do you think?"
I didn't expect that she would even think of these things. Logically speaking, these things should be considered by the marketing department. She is only responsible for design.
But here we don’t have so many rules and everyone can speak freely.
And I thought she was right, so I nodded and said to her: "Well, that's okay, but before the press conference, all information about this series must not be leaked. This is also considered the company's commercial secret."
"OK, all right."
…
At noon, after eating, I lay on the sofa in the office and closed my eyes to relax.
I am very tired, both mentally and physically.
In addition, my physical condition is getting worse day by day. I can clearly feel that I am losing weight day by day, and even my energy level is not as good as before.
But I still have to persist. I must at least kill Li Liyang and stabilize the company's situation.
Just when I started to feel drowsy, the sudden ringing of my cell phone suddenly woke me up again.
I fumbled and picked up the phone from the coffee table. After wiping my face hard, I took a look and saw that the call was from Xiao Siya.
"What's wrong?" I asked her after the call was connected.
"Have you contacted my brother? Now I feel that Li Liyang has started to take action. At today's board meeting, Li Liyang made a decision and all the directors agreed."
Usually if there is no major incident, she won't call me. Most of the time she will send me WeChat messages.
I could feel her fear from her words, it was so real.
I sat up from the sofa, lit a cigarette to wake myself up, and then said to her: "What decision did Li Liyang make?"
"Because sales have been poor during this period, Li Liyang suggested closing some offline stores and reducing the prices of all products by 5%."
"Holy crap, he's starting to dilute your shares!"
"Yes! By doing this, he made it clear that he wanted to take advantage of the company's finances. In this way, my shares will be diluted in less than a month."
I smiled again and said, "It seems like you don't understand everything."
"I'm not joking with you now, what should I do?"
After a moment of silence, I said to her: "I think it's okay, and you agree."
"This...isn't this a joke? Let alone closing some offline stores, it is impossible to reduce all prices! How much money will be lost!"
"So, I asked you to cash out quickly, do you understand what I mean now?"
Xiao Siya suddenly fell silent, and after a while she said: "But after cashing out, won't I completely lose control of the company?"
"Let me tell you, Mr. Xiao, do you think you still have real power now?"
Xiao Siya fell silent again, and I said to her again: "If you quit now, it does not mean that you have failed. On the contrary, it is a wise move, and it may even disrupt Li Liyang's rhythm."
Xiao Siya sighed heavily: "I just can't figure it out. The company that my father worked so hard to build has been destroyed in my hands. Is it really necessary to give it up like this?"
"It's not destroyed yet, don't worry. If you withdraw now, it won't have any impact on you and Siya's clothing...but it will affect Li Liyang."
"How come there is no impact? Chen Feng, can you explain it more clearly?"
I changed my sitting position and continued to say to her: "Listen, after you cash out and exit, quickly make use of all the resources at your disposal, and then come to Chongqing to find me, and I will tell you slowly."
"I ask you again, aren't you kidding me?"
"I have no intention of joking with you at this time. Only in this way can you keep Siya clothing and your and your brother's shares."
Xiao Siya sighed again: "Then I will do as you say."
"Well, after you've solved the problem, come to Chongqing to find me. I just have a good thing here for you to catch up with."
"What good thing?"
"Come over and talk about it."
After I ended the call with Xiao Siya, I immediately fell into deep thought again.
It seems that it's time for me to start dealing with Li Liyang. I asked Xiao Siya to withdraw because I don't want to hurt him.
