Wu Qiang nodded and walked quickly to the front yard.
Xia Ruofei picked up the Yixing clay teapot on the stone table and drank a mouthful of tea. After coming to Beijing, he did as the locals did. He didn't make Kung Fu tea anymore. He just put the Da Hong Pao tea leaves into the Yixing clay teapot and poured hot water into it. It had a different taste when he drank it.
After a while, Xia Ruofei heard a series of footsteps.
"Hey! Chairman, you're so relaxed! " Feng Jing joked. "We're all as tired as dogs, but you're drinking tea and lying on the deck chair like a big boss …"
Xia Ruofei straightened up and saw a group of people coming in. He couldn't help but laugh. "Wow! Why are you all here? Are you all here to take advantage of the rich? "
Besides Feng Jing, Dafu also came to join in the fun. There was also Feng Jing's assistant, Liu Qian, and a few staff members from the company's administrative office. They were all summoned to Beijing to prepare for the launch of the Yuji Ointment.
"Of course!" Feng Jing smiled. "Our stingy chairman is finally treating us to a meal. Shouldn't we all come?"
Dafu also smiled and greeted Xia Ruofei. "Mr Xia, we meet again!"
On the other hand, Liu Qian and the others were somewhat reserved as they all greeted Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. "Hello everyone! Don't be so reserved. Just treat this as your own home! "
Then, he stood up, stretched and said, "Manager Feng, what you said just now was not very nice! Although I don't really care much as the chairman, I'm not stingy! When have I ever mistreated my own employees? "
Feng Jing smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you're the most generous! Chairman, what do you want to treat us to tonight? "
"It has to be the best!" Xia Ruofei said. "Everyone has been working hard recently. I'll go out to buy groceries. Today, I'll personally cook and make a good meal for everyone!"
Wu Qiang quickly said, "Boss, let me go! I'm familiar with the markets nearby, so I can cook as well! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand. "No need, no need. I'm rewarding my employees today. That's what I want! Wu Qiang, you're in charge of receiving everyone. Now, take them for a stroll! "
Wu Qiang hesitated for a moment before he said, "Alright then! I'll listen to you! "
"Give me the car keys!" Xia Ruofei said, "I'm going to buy groceries now!"
Feng Jing cheered, "Everyone, let's thank the chairman then!"
Liu Qian and the others also knew that Xia Ruofei was not arrogant, so they were not too polite. They all smiled and thanked Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei drove to the nearby Sam's Club and bought some ready-made braised food, cooked food, and some other meat and seasonings. When he paid the bill, he specially bought a few more shopping bags.
Back in the car, he took out the Taoyuan vegetables and Zui Ba Xian wine from the space and put them into the empty shopping bags. Then, he drove back to the courtyard house.
The garage in the backyard was ready for use after the renovation. Xia Ruofei directly entered the backyard through the side door and parked the car in the garage.
Wu Qiang was showing everyone around the backyard. When he saw this, he quickly ran forward and took the shopping bags from Xia Ruofei's hands.
Xia Ruofei handed the car keys to Wu Qiang and said with a smile, "I spent a lot of money today! I bought a lot of Taoyuan vegetables from Sam's Club … What do you think this is? It's obviously our company's product, but we have to spend a lot of money to buy it from the supermarket in Beijing … "
Feng Jing and the others couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
At the same time, everyone was also very clear about the deliciousness of the Taoyuan vegetables produced by their company, so they couldn't help but look forward to tonight's dinner.
Feng Jing said with a smile, "Chairman, do you need help?"
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "No, no, you are responsible for eating today! If you have nothing to do, you can go to the movie hall to watch a movie. It's estimated that we can eat after the movie! "
Feng Jing said, "Then we won't be polite! Colleagues, since the chairman has spoken, let's go! Let me tell you! The chairman's movie hall in the courtyard house is very advanced. It's not worse than a professional cinema! I'll take you to see it! "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Go, go! Wu Qiang, you also go and find a new movie for everyone. You don't have to worry about here! "
"Okay, boss!"
After everyone left, Xia Ruofei rolled up his sleeves, hung up his apron, and began to get busy in the kitchen.
Actually, although Xia Ruofei was a little lazy, he was still quite motivated when it came to delicious food. Xia Ruofei also felt a sense of accomplishment when dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted good came out of the pot one after another.
After more than an hour, Xia Ruofei heard footsteps coming from the courtyard, and Dafu's surprised voice, "It smells so good!"
Xia Ruofei took out the last dish, then poked his head out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "Don't just stand there and watch! Come and help serve the dishes! "
Everyone had just finished watching a movie, and at this time, their stomachs were rumbling with hunger. When they heard this, they cheered and rushed over like a swarm of bees. Soon, they brought the dishes that Xia Ruofei had made to the side room next door that was used as the dining room.
The big round dining table could seat about ten people. Xia Ruofei took off his apron and hung it in the kitchen, then called everyone to the table to eat.
Wu Qiang subconsciously wanted to just eat a little in the kitchen, but he was pulled back by Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei said, "Wu Qiang, remember, there are not so many rules in my house. Let's eat together!"
Wu Qiang's eyes flashed with a hint of gratitude. He nodded and said, "I understand, boss!"
After sitting down, Xia Ruofei let Wu Qiang serve the wine.
Then he raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Everyone has worked hard during this period of time! Especially Manager Feng and Dafu, for this endorsement commercial, you have been working hard for more than ten days. Here, let me toast to everyone! "
Because everyone present was the company's employees, and only Dafu was a foreigner, Xia Ruofei spoke in Chinese. However, Feng Jing was sitting beside Dafu and had been softly interpreting for her in English.
Dafu also revealed a charming smile when she heard that. She raised her wine glass and said in English, "Come, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Liu Qian and the others were all young people, and Xia Ruofei had never put on airs, so everyone was not too reserved and raised their wine glasses.
After drinking the first glass, Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Everyone, try my cooking! Today is a reward for everyone, eat to your heart's content! If it's not enough, I'll make more! "
The aroma of the food made everyone salivate. After Xia Ruofei spoke, everyone raised their chopsticks … and knives and forks — Dafu was not used to Huaxia's chopsticks, so Xia Ruofei had specially prepared Western cutlery for her.
"Delicious!"
"Too delicious!"
"Chairman, your cooking is amazing!"
Everyone praised incoherently as they ate, and Dafu also gave Xia Ruofei a thumbs up.
The people in charge of cooking all had this feeling. They did not have much of an appetite for the food they made, but if the people who were eating were to praise the food, they would be much happier than if they were eating it themselves.
Xia Ruofei was like that. He grinned and said, "Eat more if you like, just treat it like you're at home."
While they were eating, Liu Qian also led the employees to toast Xia Ruofei under Feng Jing's urging. Xia Ruofei was not afraid, so he naturally did not refuse anyone.
After the meal, Xia Ruofei was fine, but Liu Qian and the other young ladies drank until their faces were red. They sat in their seats dizzily, looking very cute.
Xia Ruofei saw that everyone was almost done drinking, so he smiled and said, "That's all for today! Everyone, don't leave tonight. Anyway, I have a big place here, so just stay here! "
Liu Qian took advantage of the fact that she was a little tipsy and cried out happily, "Okay, okay! Long live the chairman! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and asked Wu Qiang to arrange accommodations for everyone.
He bought a lot of bedsheets last time, and they could all come in handy today.
In the middle courtyard, next to the stone table under the grape trellis.
Xia Ruofei brewed a new pot of tea and specially brought two purple clay cups. Because Feng Jing did not return to her room, she followed Xia Ruofei back to the middle courtyard. She had to report to Xia Ruofei about the preparations for the product launch.
Feng Jing urged Liu Qian and the others to toast at night, but she did not drink much herself. She was quite sober, but her face was red, and she looked very cute under the light of the street lamps in the courtyard.
"Chairman, the product launch will be held tomorrow. Everyone is free today. Will it affect our work …" Feng Jing asked worriedly.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "It's okay! Isn't the product launch tomorrow at two o 'clock in the afternoon? You've all prepared in advance, so it's okay! Besides, don't you sleep when you go back to the hotel? "
Feng Jing shook her head helplessly and said, "What you said makes sense! Who asked you to be the chairman? "
In fact, according to Feng Jing's temperament, she would definitely call a meeting with the employees to discuss the details of the product launch tomorrow.
Even if all the links had been deduced many times, as long as the product launch was not held, Feng Jing would not be completely at ease. She would always have to repeatedly deduce with the team.
However, Feng Jing was also very happy to see Xia Ruofei today. She was the one who urged the employees to toast Xia Ruofei. In the end, Xia Ruofei acted as if nothing had happened, and Liu Qian and the other girls all drank too much.
Therefore, Feng Jing could not blame others today.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "I'm very confident in you. Don't give yourself so much pressure. You have to know when to relax and when to relax! When it's time to relax, you have to relax! "
"I know!" Feng Jing said with a sweet smile.
Then she said to Xia Ruofei, "Chairman, let me report to you the general situation of the preparation!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded.
Therefore, Feng Jing organized her thoughts and said, "We hired a professional team to be responsible for the layout of the product launch venue, but … Chairman, do we really need such a big venue?"
Xia Ruofei asked with a smile, "Just tell me, has the venue been booked?"
"It has been booked according to your instructions." Feng Jing said, "But …"
Feng Jing's original plan was to rent a hotel's press conference hall. However, when she called Xia Ruofei to ask for instructions, Xia Ruofei directly asked her to book the Beijing University of Technology Gymnasium ten days in advance.
This was a comprehensive gymnasium with a total area of more than thirty thousand square meters. During the competition, there were more than fifteen thousand seats. Not to mention the high rent for the time being, the Taoyuan Company, a small company with no reputation in Beijing, chose such a big comprehensive gymnasium for the first product launch. If there were only a few hundred people attending, how awkward would it be in an empty gymnasium?
Feng Jing also raised her concerns at that time, but Xia Ruofei asked her not to worry so much and to just book the venue.
Moreover, Xia Ruofei also asked Feng Jing to start decorating a week in advance so that it would be high-end and not be afraid of spending money.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "As long as it's booked! The venue has been arranged according to what I said, right? "
Feng Jing said with a wry smile, "Yes, according to your instructions, we found the most professional team. This team was responsible for the layout and on-site scheduling of several famous technology companies' product launches. They are more experienced in this kind of big event."
Feng Jing took a sip of tea and continued, "The layout of the venue has been completed. I went to check it yesterday and rehearsed the process. There shouldn't be any problems. Our specially designed posters and various logos are all in place. The PowerPoint for the entire product launch was also produced by a professional company. It's definitely high-end and classy! According to your request, the super large stage has been built. We used the largest rear projection screen, which is comparable to the IMAX screen of a movie theater … "
Speaking of this, Feng Jing said with a wry smile, "When I stood on the stage during the rehearsal yesterday, I felt that it was too empty. If there are only two or three kittens at the product launch tomorrow, it will be a joke …"
Xia Ruofei raised his head and laughed. "Don't worry about it! The invitations I asked you to send out have been sent out, right? "
Feng Jing nodded and said, "They were all sent out three days ago, but … Chairman, will Red Star Network and Huaxia Network, these central media companies really send people?"
According to Xia Ruofei's request, just the media invitations alone were sent out in the hundreds. However, Feng Jing really didn't have any confidence in her heart. There were many central media companies in Beijing. Wouldn't these small companies receive dozens or hundreds of invitations a day? If they were free, they would send one or two newcomers to earn some transportation fees. If they weren't free, it was normal for them to directly throw the invitations into the trash can.
Xia Ruofei said, "You just need to send out the invitations. Don't worry about the rest!"
"Okay!" Feng Jing also knew that Xia Ruofei had a lot of power, so she didn't bother about this matter anymore. She shrugged and said, "The call for ordinary audience members has also been sent out on our official website, official Weibo, and official WeChat, but … there really aren't many people who responded …"
This was what Feng Jing was most worried about.
The Taoyuan Company was a little famous in the Southeast Province. If this product launch was held in Sanshan, it probably wouldn't be difficult to gather one or two thousand audience members.
But this product launch was held in Beijing!
Even if the fans in the Southeast Province liked the brand, there were probably very few people who would come all the way to Beijing to attend the product launch.
Moreover, even if they gathered one or two thousand audience members, they wouldn't even fill up a square in the gymnasium of the University of Technology.
Now, according to the statistics of Feng Jing's team, there were less than a thousand audience members who signed up for the product launch. Many of them came for the gifts provided by the Taoyuan Company.
Speaking of this, Feng Jing couldn't help but look worried.
