You won't be disappointed.
He said … you won't be disappointed?
His words were like Popeye's spinach, making Lin Qian's eyes light up. She was already sick and listless.
She couldn't believe what she had just heard. The sales had been low in the morning. If Li Zhicheng said "I won't be disappointed," then the sales should be … very good?
Over 2,000? No, this was definitely not enough to satisfy Li Zhicheng. 3000？ Even 4,000?
Following Li Zhicheng into the building, they took the elevator to the office of the IT department. Lin Qian's heart was about to jump out of her chest and jump to the computer before she did.
As soon as she entered the office, she saw her colleagues, who had been gloomy in the morning, were now all glowing. Hearing the noise, they turned to look at them, "President Li!" "President Li!" "President Li! Assistant Lin!" There was an unusual glow of excitement in their eyes.
Xue Mingtao, Liu Tong, Gu Yanzhi, and other leaders were also there. They were sitting in a small room, talking about something. They all looked up at the same time with smiles on their faces.
Lin Qian couldn't hold it anymore. She bent down in front of a colleague's computer and asked, "What's the sales today? I wasn't here this afternoon, so I don't know. "
The colleague had been very familiar with her these days. At this moment, her face was as bright as a flower. She twisted the computer screen in front of her and said, "Assistant Lin, look at it yourself!"
Lin Qian saw the numbers on the screen and her eyes were wide open.
“7853？！”
The people around her all laughed and began to talk noisily.
"Yeah, about two hours after the president's announcement, the sales suddenly started to soar, jumping 500, 1000. Wow! The orders now have to be delivered in three months, but the numbers are still soaring. "
Another person said, "Assistant Lin's network attack is really a credit!"
"I can die without regrets!" A young man sighed, "I can die without regrets!"
Lin Qian's temples began to throb.
Damn, happiness came so suddenly! Was the Heavens finally fair for once?
Hahaha! Chen Zheng, you bastard, we sold 7853 a day. Will you be mad when you hear this number? No, should I send him a text tomorrow? She could write, "President Chen, thanks to you, we sold 800 units yesterday. Oh, sorry, I missed a zero. Hahaha!
As she stared at the screen and let her imagination run wild, the leaders in the room came out. Gu Yanzhi smiled and said, "President Li is back. Let President Li say a few words to everyone."
Everyone looked up at Li Zhicheng. Lin Qian also turned to look at him.
He was standing a few steps away from her. After hearing Gu Yanzhi's words, his handsome face looked indifferent.
The corners of Lin Qian's mouth couldn't help but curve up. He should be more used to cheering up those honest soldiers, right? What would he say now?
Li Zhicheng stood under the light and raised his calm eyes. He looked around and said, "Today's victory is overwhelming. Everyone here is a hero."
He paused. Everyone's face lit up.
He continued, "Now, we can basically determine that this counterattack from the flank has already established victory. Our competitors are powerless to reverse the situation. In the foreseeable future, their mid-range product market will be rapidly eroded by us. And the sales of our other products will recover accordingly. "He paused, looked at everyone, and said," We finally saved Aida. "
It was a very simple speech, and his tone was very calm. There was no provocative expression or wording, but everyone was stunned at the same time. Because he said, "Save Aida." For some reason, these words made everyone's mood suddenly become heavy. In the heavy mood, there seemed to be another kind of emotion silently brewing.
No one said anything.
After a short silence, everyone seemed to react at the same time. They cheered and applauded, threw down the documents in their hands, stood up, and hugged each other excitedly.
Lin Qian's eyes were a little wet. She kept looking at Li Zhicheng as he spoke. It was a very simple and resolute speech, but why did it make her feel sorry and proud?
What the hell! What kind of attitude did she have towards him now? Why did she feel gratified that her boss had finally grown up? But at the same time, she felt sweet and flustered?
At this moment, Li Zhicheng seemed to sense her gaze and turned to look at her. Lin Qian subconsciously wanted to say a few words of flattery and return to her normal fighting state, but her arm suddenly tightened. She had been pulled into the arms of a tall, young male engineer beside her, who hugged her tightly. "Mr. Lin!"
Before Lin Qian could react, he had already let go of her and hugged the middle-aged engineer beside him.
Lin Qian smiled, high-fived and hugged the people around her to celebrate their victory. Hehehe, I, Lin Qian, from now on in the IT department, will be one of them.
As she was thinking, she turned around and saw a few leaders also walking into the team of engineers. Li Zhicheng held the hand of the engineer who had hugged her just now, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered something to him. The engineer's face was full of glory and joy.
Then Li Zhicheng let go of him, shook hands with a few others, and turned around to stand in front of Lin Qian.
Lin Qian was in such a good mood that she didn't think too much at the moment. She smiled and reached out to shake his hand, and at the same time, flattered, "Long live the boss!"
Under the light, Li Zhicheng's figure was as tall as a slender bamboo. Under his soft black short hair, his eyes were gentle and calm, which was rare. Before Lin Qian could react, her arm tightened and she was pulled into his arms. Then he patted her back lightly, just like he did with the others, to encourage her.
Lin Qian's heart was beating fast. She could clearly smell the light scent on his body. And the hand that was holding her wrist was obviously very strong, like a soldering iron. There was also the hand he placed on her back. His five fingers were imbued with strength. He was clearly pressing her into his embrace.
The people around them were laughing and talking, no one noticed the difference between them. And in fact, on the surface, they didn't look any different.
"Lin Qian," he whispered in her ear, "I'm very happy that I didn't disappoint you."
This day was a beginning. By midnight, the sales of this subsidiary brand broke through 8,500.
The next day, it reached 12,000.
In the next few days, the sales gradually fell and stabilized, but still maintained a high sales level that other online flagship stores couldn't reach.
By the end of the year, the annual sales of this main brand of Aida ranked first among mid-range bags in the country, more than the total sales of the second, third, fourth and fifth brands combined. And just as Li Zhicheng said, under the lead of this main brand, the sales of other categories of bags gradually improved, although not as good as in the past. By the end of the year, Aida's annual sales were close to SMQ's, completely turning over. This was a story for another time.
Back to that night.
It was already very late when Lin Qian got home. After the big ups and downs, she didn't have the energy to sort out some messy thoughts. She took a quick shower and was about to go to bed when she received a call from Lin Mochen, who she hadn't seen for a long time.
During this time, Lin Qian hadn't called him, and he hadn't called either. The brother and sister had a tacit understanding that if she didn't bring it up, he wouldn't ask about it.
Now everything was fine. The rain had passed and the sky was clear.
Lying on the bed, Lin Qian said lazily, "Brother, what can I do for you?"
Lin Mochen's voice also contained a slight smile, "Congratulations."
Lin Qian said, "Thank you."
Lin Qian relied heavily on her brother, so she couldn't help but tell him about the thrilling twists and turns of the past few days. Except for the slap on her face, she didn't mention a word. Lin Mochen had been listening quietly. When he heard that she suggested to Li Zhicheng that they should lose 20 million, he laughed softly, "Wooden city gate. That's a good move. "
Lin Qian was still smiling and was about to continue when she suddenly froze.
Her brother said "wooden city gate"?
"Wooden city gate" came from the story of the ancient merchant Mu Lixin. It meant to attract people's attention, publicly establish prestige, and win people's trust.
This idiom wasn't used much nowadays. But because Lin Qian had seen it not long ago, she remembered it now that he mentioned it.
It was the first day she became Li Zhicheng's assistant. She was on the balcony, and he was reading Sun Tzu's Art of War. At that time, he wrote a few words on the paper. Wasn't one of them "wooden city gate"?
As she was thinking, she heard Lin Mochen say with a faint smile, "Little fool, do you see it now? You even said you were his teacher. Along the way, he was flawless and played around with his competitors who were several times stronger than him. It's more like I was the one fighting. From now on, be careful with your words and actions, learn from him, and don't embarrass me. "
With that, he hung up, leaving Lin Qian in a daze.
What did her brother just say?
Lin Qian only felt that there was a vein in her brain throbbing. Her brain was abnormally clear, and her thoughts were abnormally tumbling. The drowsiness of the cold was instantly thrown away. Because of her brother's words, the familiar idiom "wooden city gate", made her have an incredible and unbelievable thought.
But she also had a feeling that this possibility had been buried in her mind along the way with Li Zhicheng. But as soon as she thought about it, she rejected it. How could it be possible?
Her heart was pounding, and she suddenly jumped off the bed. She grabbed her backpack and took out a soft leather notebook. She remembered that when he had written those idioms that day, she had even written them down in her notebook to pay attention to all the details of her boss.
She flipped through it for a long time. His mind, however, was working like a spark as he went through all the details again.
If everything was planned by Li Zhicheng according to her brother, then everything had to be restarted.
So, when he competed for the Ming Sheng project, it was also fake, just to lure SMQ into the trap. What was his goal? Right, he had put forward almost harsh bidding conditions: the price should not exceed the market price by 30%, and the delivery time should be three months. That was his goal! It was to restrict SMQ's market price and inventory of high-end leather goods, so that they could no longer attack them.
And his goal from the beginning was SMQ's vast and huge mid-range leather goods market? Just to create a diversion?
What about the spies? Did he know about the existence of the spies in advance, use them, and finally send them to prison?
Yes, and the 30 million, why did he set the number of winners at 2,000? She didn't think about it at the time, but now that she thought about it, the 30 million from selling the land was just used up! Could it be that he knew it would be wrong?
Her mind was in a mess, but she finally found the notebook in her hand. She calmed herself down, looking at the five military idioms with her heart beating like thunder. But in an instant, her heart beat even faster.
Because those five words were …
Inviting the enemy into the trap.
Killing with a borrowed knife.
Creating a diversion.
Standing at the city gate.
Waiting at ease.
Holding the notebook, Lin Qian sat on the bed in a daze.
She had an indescribable feeling in her heart. Realization, shock, confusion … and unfamiliarity.
Yes, unfamiliarity.
She had never seen him clearly before.
Li Zhicheng's face appeared in her mind again. But this time, it wasn't the silent and cold look he had on the train, nor was it the tall and gentle look he had when he carried her through the puddles and mud. It was him sitting next to her tonight, looking at her with his dark eyes that were as deep as the winter night. He had said,
"What I want, I've seen it, it's within reach."
