An Lan was also carrying a lunch box in his hand and was wearing a light gray woolen coat. He looked very elegant.
I looked at her very surprised and said, "Why are you here?"
"I brought you some food." He said as he walked inside.
I closed the door and found her a pair of my slippers.
After An Lan put on her shoes, she looked around the room. This was her first time coming to the place I rented. Of course she knew I lived here, it was just her first time here.
After walking around the small room, she placed the lunch box on the coffee table in the living room and took another look at the full ashtray.
"Why do you smoke so much? The whole room still smells of cigarette smoke. Don't treat your body like this."
As she spoke, she went to open all the doors and windows, and the cold air from outside suddenly floated in.
After opening the window, she took all the cigarette butts from the ashtray and dumped them into the trash can. Then she said to me: "Come and eat quickly. Why are you standing there so stupidly?"
I stood in front of her at a loss, stretched out my hand to scratch the back of my head, and said with a smile: "Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came? My place is so messy, you have no good impression."
An Lan smiled lightly and replied: "Did I just meet you? Don't I know you well?"
I curled my lips, sat on the sofa, and opened the lunch box in front of me.
Inside is my favorite roasted pork ribs with potatoes, and two side dishes.
I wasn't in the mood to eat at first, but after smelling the aroma of this dish, I immediately picked up my chopsticks and ate it hungrily.
Because there was no soup, An Lan took another water glass and got me a glass of water and said to me: "Eat slowly, don't choke."
"It's delicious! Did you make it?"
"Your mother made it. I'm busy today and don't have time to cook."
I smiled and said, "No wonder this smell feels so familiar to me."
An Lan sat next to me and watched me eat quietly without disturbing me.
While eating, I asked her: "Why are you here suddenly?"
"I know you don't know how to eat, so I brought you some food and took a look at you."
I was touched beyond words, looked up at her, smiled and said, "It's great to have you."
An Lan didn't like saying such disgusting words to me. She raised her hand to tuck her hair around her ears, then turned to me and asked, "Have you come up with any good ideas about your company?"
I shook my head, and An Lan said again: "I suddenly thought of an idea on the way to your place. Do you want to listen to it?"
I suddenly said excitedly: "Well, you tell me."
"I want to know if your batch of goods just has inconsistent shells? Are there any other problems?"
I shook my head and said, "There are no other problems. The most serious thing is that the shell does not match the design. It is very different from the publicity we did before. It is impossible for customers not to know."
An Lan asked me again: "Is the quality okay?"
"no problem."
After being silent for a while, An Lan added, "If that's the case, then I suggest you send out this batch of goods first."
"This...isn't this deceiving consumers? Customers are not fools, how can they not know this?"
"What I mean is, let customers know that this is a problematic batch of product."
"What do you mean?" I became more and more confused.
"Since there is no problem with the quality, there is no need to deceive consumers. As for the shell being inconsistent with what you previously announced, I think you can take advantage of it. But before that, you have to release a message to publicly explain the situation... I believe
Consumers should understand."
After I listened carefully, I was silent for a while and then said: "The question you mentioned is fine, but you don't know that we are being plotted this time, so if we do this, the person behind the plot will definitely use it."
Adding fuel to the fire...this is not a good idea."
"Everything has two sides. I also know that your new product is very popular in the market. Now the online pre-sales have been sold out, so I think the problem of the shell does not exist at all."
An Lan paused for a moment, then continued: "If you are worried that some people will use this matter to make things worse, you can explain the situation. If a customer buys a faulty product, he can take it back to the manufacturer for a return. What you need to do now
All we do is seize the market first, and there is no need to worry about some after-sales issues now.”
An Lan's words immediately enlightened me. After I fell silent and thought carefully, I said, "This seems to be a way, but I just don't know if the chairman can agree to this decision."
"Then you can mention it at the meeting tomorrow. I think this is feasible, because there is no other better way."
I let out a long breath, nodded and replied, "Well, let's not talk about this for now. Let's change the topic."
"Okay, let's talk about Liang Jing."
I was stunned for a moment, then asked: "What happened to her?"
"Something's not right with her lately."
"Ah?" I was stunned again and asked, "What's wrong?"
"This is not my intuition or guessing, but my judgment on her dynamics in recent days."
"Tell me more clearly, what happened to her?"
"I don't know the specifics. Anyway, she has a problem. I guess a company is poaching her at a high price."
"How is that possible? The reason why she is still popular now is entirely because of the influence of this topic. She can't be so ignorant and betray you at this time, right?"
"Who can say for sure? This is just the way this industry is."
"But you signed a contract? And it's a three-year contract. If she dares to do this, you won't have to pay her to death!"
An Lan smiled lightly and said: "If the other company insists on poaching her, the liquidated damages will naturally not be a problem."
"Damn, this is too dark!"
After a slight pause, I added: "I'll come down and talk to her. Don't worry, I know how to talk to her. I'll go find out what she really thinks."
An Lan nodded and stopped talking about Liang Jing.
But I know that An Lan's company is currently solely supported by Liang Jing. If Liang Jing leaves, An Lan will face a collapse-like blow.
Although she is still so calm now, if I were her, I might be very nervous right now.
This is probably the biggest difference between An Lan and I. If she didn't tell me these things, I would never see anything wrong with her.
She is such a person, moody and no one can really see through her.
In the silence, An Lan suddenly smiled and said to me: "There is another question. I don't know what you think about it?"
Seeing her suddenly smile, I guessed it must be a good thing and immediately asked: "What's the matter?"?
