There was a hint of joy in Lin Shengnan's eyes. She straightened her back and said, "Squad Leader Xia, thank you!"
With a gentle smile on his face, Xia Ruofei pointed to the sofa and said, "Don't be so restrained. Sit down and talk!"
"Yes, sir!"
Lin Shengnan sat down on the sofa opposite Xia Ruofei. Her sitting posture was quite upright, with her hands flat on her knees. This was the standard sitting posture in the army.
Xia Ruofei leaned back on the sofa very easily. He smiled and said, "Shengnan, Wolf King should have told you, right? Your job here is to protect my girlfriend's safety. "
Lin Shengnan nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Xia. I will do my best. There will be no mistakes!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "I have confidence in my comrades. Shengnan, to the public, you are Qingxue's assistant. You also need to help her with some work matters in the company. Of course, your main task is to protect her. I hope you can stay by her side as much as possible, especially when she goes out. You must protect her well. Also, for the convenience of work, you don't have to look for a place to live. I will ask Qingxue to arrange a room for you in her house. "
"Okay," Lin Shengnan nodded and said.
"As for the salary, I don't know how much the assistant manager of Lingji Restaurant Group earns. I will be paid according to their salary grade." Xia Ruofei said, "I will give you an extra 20,000 yuan every month. You don't have to mention the benefits during the holidays. I have never been stingy with my employees. Are you satisfied with this treatment? "
Xia Ruofei had seen some copies of Lin Shengnan's file. He knew very well that with Lin Shengnan's skills, it was normal for her to earn 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a year if she applied for a job as a private bodyguard. A monthly salary of 20,000 yuan was not too outrageous for a senior bodyguard.
Of course, the premise was that she could find such a job.
If she didn't have any connections, she wouldn't be able to get in just by relying on her skills. Especially when Lin Shengnan was a girl.
The 20,000 yuan Xia Ruofei gave was equivalent to paying for a bodyguard. He had already made up his mind to pay for this — this amount of money was nothing to Xia Ruofei. He didn't want his father-in-law to pay for a bodyguard for his girlfriend!
A trace of surprise flashed in Lin Shengnan's eyes. She said sincerely, "Mr. Xia, I am very satisfied with the salary. I even think it's a bit high … but I am in urgent need of money right now, so …"
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand. "This salary isn't high! It's a commensurate with your ability! "
After Xia Ruofei's words, Shengnan's, Shengnan's, Shengnan's, Shengnan '
Shengnan of Shengnan's Shengnan of Of His''s.
Xia Ruofei said, "Then I'll give you some salary in advance. "How much do you need?"
Lin Shengnan quickly said, "No need, no need. Mr. Xia, my salary will be paid monthly. How can I get paid before I start work?"
Xia Ruofei smiled. "We are all comrades. We should help each other when we are in trouble! Besides, you were recommended by the Wolf King. I am obligated to take good care of you. Besides, I can solve your worries so that you can work with peace of mind! "
Xia Ruofei didn't ask Lin Shengnan why she was in urgent need of money. Everyone had their own privacy. If Lin Shengnan was willing to say it, she would say it herself. There was no need to force her.
Lin Shengnan opened her mouth, but Xia Ruofei quickly continued, "It's settled then. I will give you an advance of 100,000 yuan! Is that enough? If it's not enough, I can give you more! "
Lin Shengnan quickly said, "Mr. Xia, I don't need that much! I … I only need 70,000 yuan … "
"Then I'll give you an advance of 80,000 yuan. That's four months' salary!" Xia Ruofei said immediately.
"This …" Lin Shengnan hesitated, as if she was struggling with her thoughts. Finally, she raised her head and said, "Okay! Thank you, Mr. Xia! I will work hard! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. After getting Lin Shengnan's account number, he forwarded it to Pang Hao. Then, he called Pang Hao and asked him to transfer 80,000 yuan to Lin Shengnan's account as soon as possible.
Lin Shengnan looked at Xia Ruofei gratefully and asked, "Mr. Xia, when can I start work?"
Xia Ruofei said, "Anytime! You have something to deal with. You can take a few days off. "
"No, no, I can start work now!" Lin Shengnan said.
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Okay! I will take you to my girlfriend's company now! "
"Yes!"
Xia Ruofei had already convinced Ling Qingxue to agree to have a female bodyguard. Two days ago, when Wolf King Guo Zhan recommended Lin Shengnan to Xia Ruofei, he immediately talked to Ling Qingxue. Therefore, he took Lin Shengnan to meet Ling Qingxue directly.
Now that Feng Jing was in the company, Xia Ruofei had more freedom. He took Lin Shengnan in the Knight XV off-road vehicle and left the farm, heading straight to the city.
…
Li Jing was a little depressed recently. He felt that things were not going well for him.
He was originally the backbone of the sales department of Ling Ji Catering. It should not be a problem for him to become a deputy manager after some experience.
However, two months ago, he was transferred to the newly acquired Dingfeng Winery as a sales manager without warning.
Although it sounded like he was promoted by two ranks from a backbone salesman to a manager, how could a winery that was on the verge of bankruptcy be compared to the multi-billion-dollar Ling Ji Catering?
For a period of time, Li Jing had been asking him if he had made any trouble at work or offended someone, so he was sent to the winery.
Most sales people were sophisticated and had a way of dealing with people. Li Jing thought that he was quite popular in the company. Moreover, Chairman Ling had even verbally praised him for his excellent performance. He could not figure out why he was kicked to this shabby winery.
If the boss invested heavily in this winery, it would be fine. However, it was not like this at all!
Other than changing a batch of new equipment, the winery did not do anything else. Not to mention the large-scale advertising, even the name of the wine was still Zui Ba Xian. The packaging style did not change much either.
Although Zui Ba Xian was an old brand with a long history, its situation in the market had long deteriorated. Even in Sanshan City, the sales had declined greatly.
What made Li Jing's head hurt even more was that after the winery changed bosses, many of the original partners stopped cooperating and returned many of the old packaging.
Li Jing was so worried that his hair had turned white. He begged everyone to treat him to meals and drinks. It was not easy for him to open up some channels.
However, these channels were still pitifully small compared to the output of the winery. Not long ago, the winery's first batch of wine was released. This batch of newly packaged Zui Ba Xian was 100 tons. There were 200,000 bottles and more than 30,000 boxes.
How long would it take for the market to digest so much wine? Li Jing's head hurt.
What made him even crazier was that in his opinion, the price of the new Zui Ba Xian liquor had been greatly increased. The retail price was 150 yuan per bottle.
Li Jing even wondered if Chairman Ling, who had always been wise and powerful, had taken the wrong medicine. How could he make such a ridiculous decision?
He was really afraid that in a month's time, there would only be a few boxes on the sales report. Then, his reputation would really be ruined …
In fact, Li Jing did not see any light at all. He had worked hard to open up some channels and had only digested a few hundred boxes. Compared to the total amount of 30,000 boxes, it was really a drop in the bucket.
Moreover, these were only the sales channels that agreed to put on the shelves. Li Jing had no idea whether these wines could be sold or how much they could be sold.
These few days, Li Jing was restless in the office. He was not in the mood to go out and run business.
Li Jing did not know that the Zui Ba Xian liquor that had been quietly put on the shelves with a new logo would soon make his jaw drop …
…
Yong Hui Supermarket.
Retired cadre Old Li was shopping in the supermarket with a basket.
Every afternoon at this time, he would walk from his home three kilometers away to buy groceries. On the one hand, the doctor said that walking quickly was good for health. On the other hand, most of the groceries at this time would be discounted. Although his pension was not small, Old Li, who had been thrifty all his life, was used to saving as much as he could.
Today, an old classmate of Old Li's was traveling from Gannan Province to Sanshan, so he specially bought some groceries and prepared a simple family banquet to entertain his old classmate.
After buying the groceries, Old Li thought that since he had not seen his old classmate for many years, he would definitely drink a lot during the meal. So, he carried the basket and strolled to the alcohol section.
Seeing the daunting prices of those "famous wines," Old Li could not help but shake his head. He slowly walked to a corner shelf and his eyes lit up.
Old Li said to himself, "Zui Ba Xian changed the packaging?"
There was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, as if he was recalling the scene when everyone drank a bottle of Zui Ba Xian together when they were young.
Then, Old Li saw the price marked on the label.
"150!" Old Li was stunned. "I didn't expect Zui Ba Xian to increase the price. Sigh! Now, everything is increasing in price … "
Old Li hesitated in front of the shelf for a long time. Finally, he said to himself, "Forget it, I'll buy a bottle! I haven't drunk Zui Ba Xian in a long time … "
Compared to those famous wines, although the price of Zui Ba Xian was greatly increased, it was still relatively affordable. Although there were wines that cost hundreds or even tens of yuan, Zui Ba Xian was entrusted with the feelings of the older generation. In the case of not much difference in spending money, Old Li still chose Zui Ba Xian.
Old Li reluctantly picked up a bottle of Zui Ba Xian from the shelf, then carried the basket and lined up to pay the bill.
At night, at Old Li's house.
Old Li's old classmate brought his wife to the house. Old Li personally prepared a table of dishes. He brought his son and daughter-in-law and sat around the table with his old classmate and his wife. The theme of the family banquet was to reminisce about the old days.
"Guo Li, open the wine!" Old Li said happily. "Xinqiang, do you still remember when we drank together?"
"How can I not remember?" Old Li's old classmate said with a smile. "Zui Ba Xian! It was 2.30 yuan a bottle, and I drank half a bottle alone. Haha! "
"I specially went to buy Zui Ba Xian today. You have to drink a few cups!" Old Li said happily.
Seeing that his old classmate still remembered the wine, Old Li felt that he had made the right choice to buy Zui Ba Xian.
"Yo! That winery is still there! "Old Li's classmate said in surprise." Then I have to taste it … "
Then he showed a trace of nostalgia and said, "I just don't know if it's still the same taste as before …"
At this moment, a strong smell of wine came, and everyone in the room sniffed at the same time.
Old Li's son couldn't help but cry out, "Dad! Why is the wine you bought today so fragrant! "
"Hey! It's really … "Old Li was also very surprised. He quickly said," Hurry up, Guo Li, pour the wine for your Uncle Xinqiang! Xinqiang! I just found out today that Zui Ba Xian changed the packaging. It seems that they have improved the craftsmanship! The smell of this wine is really rich … "
Everyone quickly poured the wine. After clinking glasses, they couldn't wait to taste it.
"Good wine! It has a long aftertaste! "
"The smell of this wine is too strong …"
"It's really good wine!"
Old Li and the others couldn't help but praise it.
A bottle of white wine was quickly finished by the three men. Everyone still felt like they had not had enough of it.
Old Li said with a hint of drunkenness, "Guo Li, go buy a box tomorrow and bring it back for your Uncle Xinqiang!"
Old Li's son immediately said, "Okay! Dad, I'll buy more. I feel that this wine is not worse than Maotai Wuliangye, and it's not expensive. It's very suitable to drink at home or give it to others! "
Old Li waved his hand and said, "Do as you see fit!"
He was a little addicted to drinking. This wine was really good! And although Old Li was frugal, his family was not short of money. His son worked in a foreign company, and his monthly salary was 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. A bottle of wine of 150 yuan was still affordable.
…
Similar scenes were playing out in many places in Sanshan City.
Of course, most of the people who bought Zui Ba Xian were old men over 50 years old, so the sales of Zui Ba Xian didn't soar all of a sudden.
But things were absolute. Zui Ba Xian was like an awl in a bag, and its edge couldn't be hidden.
Three days after the newly packaged Zui Ba Xian was put on the shelves, Inspector Wu of the Provincial Department of Culture married his daughter. This old cadre, who enjoyed the treatment of a department official, happened to choose Lingji Restaurant for his daughter's wedding.
In other channels, whether it was supermarkets, stores, or restaurants, the new Zui Ba Xian would definitely not be valued. It was usually displayed in an inconspicuous place.
But in Lingji Restaurant, it was the opposite. All consumers would be strongly recommended to choose Zui Ba Xian.
And Inspector Wu happened to be from Sanshan City — this was also an important reason why he chose Lingji Restaurant, which was the most authentic Sanshan cuisine, as the venue for his daughter's wedding banquet.
Inspector Wu also had a good memory of Zui Ba Xian, so he couldn't resist the hotel manager's glib tongue. In the end, the liquor used at the wedding was this new Zui Ba Xian.
Although Inspector Wu had already retired from his position as a leader, he still had a wide circle of friends, especially in the officialdom. This banquet had a total of more than 50 tables. Of course, under the current strict regulations, Inspector Wu had clearly stated on every invitation that he did not accept gifts. This way, no matter how many guests he invited, it would not be a problem for others to gossip about.
There were more than 500 people at the banquet, and a considerable number of them were leaders with a certain amount of power. These "alcohol tested" old men had drunk a lot of white wine, red wine, foreign wine, and beer, so they could tell whether a wine was good or bad with just a taste.
Not long after the banquet started, the new Zui Ba Xian became the most popular liquor at the banquet. Almost everyone who drank it was full of praise. There were even people who privately asked the waiter about the price of this Zui Ba Xian. When they learned that a bottle was only 150 yuan, these people felt even more incredulous.
Many people decided on the spot that in the future, they would change the liquor used for reception to Zui Ba Xian — in comparison, those "XX Da Qu" and "XX Classic" that cost 200, 300, 300, or 400 yuan were simply too weak. Even when compared to Maotai Wuliangye, which cost 600, 700 yuan, or even more than 1,000 yuan per bottle, Zui Ba Xian was not inferior.
This was simply a model of good quality at a low price!
