During Gu Shishi's confinement period, Huajian's tour of the Forbidden City was officially promoted and sold online. The price of the entire tour reached a new high. A five-day tour of the Forbidden City and a four-day tour of the Great Wall were all in the six digits.
Not only was there a tour guide to explain the entire tour, but there was also a full set of Huajian's skincare products and a set of ink and wash painting booklets. It was exactly the same as the promotional video.
This ultra-luxurious tour, which exceeded the value of the tour itself, actually sold more than a hundred copies on the first day of sale.
Not only were there teenage girls who placed orders, but there were also married women in their forties and fifties with families who wanted to experience the wonderful feeling of transmigration.
Most importantly, many people knew about Huajian because of the more than 100,000 readers. They went to the flagship store to buy it. In an instant, Huajian's sales reached a new high.
"Mr. Gu, our high-end products this month are still the best in the country."
"But Huajian is very close to us."
The sales manager reported at the morning meeting.
"The new packaging of our high-end products is very similar to the style of their promotional video this time."
"Now that Huajian's video is promoting, it means that we are one step ahead of us to occupy the market. Mr. Gu, I'm afraid that we won't be able to surpass Huajian in the short term even if we continue with the ink and wash painting style. "
Everything was about first come, first served.
Especially business opportunities.
Whoever occupied the market first would have a unique advantage.
The latecomers could imitate, but they would have to pay a higher price.
Gu Wushuang's face darkened.
She couldn't swallow the anger that was rushing around in her throat.
"Is there a problem in the human resources department? I've mentioned before that you guys should try your best to poach the art designer. Why can't you do it? "
"Department Head Li, is there a problem with the salary or the ability of the staff in the human resources department?"
Gu Wushuang was really angry.
This time, she had predicted the situation and should have been ahead of Huajian.
However … she glanced around the meeting room and felt that Gu Jiangxin had left behind a bunch of useless people. The old people were useless and the new people were also lacking.
She had picked the eldest son from the dwarves and promoted a few of them, but they were still useless.
"Also, the publicity department, strategy department, sales department …"
"Is there no one who can think of cooperating with the tour operators in the capital? Why can others think of it but not others? "
"Is it that difficult?"
Gu Shishi was exasperated. Back when she was a pitiful little girl, she used to ask rhetorical questions.
"Can I ask for a remedy?"
The faces of the senior executives in the entire conference room, which were alternating between the old and the new, could not help but lower their heads.
Although they hadn't worked together for long, everyone had already figured out Gu Wushuang's tricks.
She was inexperienced and listened more than she spoke at meetings.
However, after two or three meetings, they seemed to be familiar with the meeting process and began to propose all kinds of plans to make the products expensive, high-end, and fancy.
Even though everyone was against it, she still insisted on doing it.
However, when they encountered problems in the implementation, she repeatedly used the method of asking questions. She never provided a solution and only waited for one of them to come up with a solution. Otherwise, it would seem that everyone was extremely incompetent. How could they not even do such a simple thing and fail to live up to her trust and promotion?
Sure enough, the moment everyone lowered their heads, they heard a soft voice coming from the seat of honor.
"I want to get through this difficult time with everyone, so please do your part, okay? Let's work together to bring Jiahe to a higher level so that it won't be defeated by any other country and maintain its leading position. Is that okay? "
"Its past glory should not be destroyed in our hands."
Her high-sounding words were a complete waste of the meeting's time.
The senior management who hadn't been fired but chose to obey her looked at each other and gave each other a look of contempt that everyone understood.
As for the newly promoted management team, they had been full of enthusiasm at the beginning, but now they were expressionless as they agreed.
This was the company, not a place to talk about love, nor was it a place for mother and daughter to have a heart-to-heart talk.
If the boss couldn't come up with the real thing, no one would be convinced at all.
Everyone's eyes drifted away, and they were all distracted.
"Then we'll follow Wushuang's instructions and increase the publicity. We'll hold more camellia parties in the upper-class circle and invite more rich women and celebrities to experience the products and do some advertising."
The marketing department head who was named took the lead to speak.
After saying that, the sales department and strategy department next to him expressed their agreement.
Gu Wushuang nodded. "Okay, then we'll follow this strategy. Come up with a detailed plan and budget for me to see today."
They didn't understand, yet they insisted on interfering.
They interfered in the wrong direction.
Most of the people who raised objections were replaced by her.
The remaining people were all sucking up to the rich and powerful and were just lazing around in the company.
Whatever she said was what it was.
"Then the meeting is adjourned."
"As for that painter, please contact the HR department again and offer him double the benefits, okay?"
Gu Wushuang smiled faintly at the HR department head.
Everyone looked at Department Head Li.
Sure enough, Department Head Li nodded. "Okay."
The decline of Jiahe was already obvious.
Huo Wencheng had been assisting Gu Wushuang with the reports, but seeing that she was supporting her own team, he didn't interfere much.
This was to prevent couples from quarreling because of these disputes of interests.
But recently, Huo Wencheng heard Gu Wushuang divulging information about Jiahe on the phone a few times, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"Double, Jiahe will focus on low-end products. There's no rush for high-end products."
"Now …"
Huo Wencheng couldn't help but persuade her.
"Brother Cheng, we have to keep up with the times. Don't worry."
Gu Wushuang interrupted her directly.
If it were any other time, she would most likely listen to him.
After all, Huo Wencheng had much more experience in management and marketing than her. Previously, if it weren't for him, she wouldn't have accepted the company shares and would have exchanged them for cash instead.
But today, the situation was different.
Gu Wushuang knew very well that he wanted to divorce her.
He wanted to dump her and return to the Huo family to inherit the family business.
He was no longer the Brother Cheng who helped her without asking for anything in return.
She had used a scheme to get the reporters to expose their relationship so that he couldn't mention divorce under pressure. It was inevitable that he would have a knot in his heart and hate her!
Would he still wholeheartedly advise her?
She was afraid that he would just sit and watch her fail?
His suggestion only lingered in her mind for a moment before she waved it away.
"Brother Cheng, I'll discuss it with the uncles in the company. You'd better think about how to make Auntie happy."
"This weekend, I'll go shopping with you and choose a gift for Auntie. She'll definitely soften towards you. "
Gu Wushuang quickly changed the topic.
Huo Wencheng knew that she wouldn't listen to him no matter how much he tried to persuade her, so he quickly shut up.
They didn't know when it started, but they seemed to be walking on different paths.
They seemed to be walking side by side, but there was a distance between them that was getting farther and farther.
"Okay."
Huo Wencheng lowered his hand and twirled his phone.
It was indeed time for him to go home.
The weather was gradually getting warmer.
Gu Shishi, who was finally done with her two-month confinement period and could go home, stretched lazily by the window and breathed in the fresh air.
"Yes, I've been so drunk during this period of time. It's so comfortable that I'm doubting life."
No wonder so many people were prone to postpartum depression.
For the past two months, she had done nothing but eat, drink, sleep, and breastfeed.
She was so lazy and bored that it made her feel hopeless …
If it weren't for the fact that she could still draw, she wouldn't have felt her existence.
It was as if she was a baby-rearing machine.
"I've been working overtime every day and telling you about fresh melons every night. Are you doubting life?"
Huo Chuchu, who was still single, couldn't understand the pain of breastfeeding.
However, she brought new melons today.
"My second brother moved home yesterday, but my mom ignored him. She's still angry."
Huo Chuchu sneered.
"I told her long ago to give me some stocks to try. Second brother will definitely run home faster than a rabbit."
"Other than these, he doesn't care about his family at all!"
Gu Shishi tidied up her clothes and wiped her youngest son who was blowing bubbles as he slept. She felt that this was within her expectations.
"Then your mom has succeeded again."
Reality proved that Huo Wencheng couldn't win against his mother. In the end, he gave in.
However, Huo Chuchu had a strange expression on his face. "My mom started taking melatonin recently."
Melatonin was a pill that people who went abroad to adjust to jet lag and to cure insomnia often took.
"I saw her take two pills yesterday."
"When my brother came back, she looked a little less energetic."
Huo Chuchu shook his head. His expression didn't look good.
"My mom used to be quite a proud person. Now she probably realized that she's a failure of a mother. My second brother didn't care about my sister, my mother, or the fact that there are only women in the family. Instead, he came back for the shares. "
"She was so disappointed in my second brother that she told my grandma that her heart turned cold."
Gu Shishi didn't know how to comment.
If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have done it in the first place.
"Sigh, my grandma wasn't happy either. She told my mom that my second brother was irresponsible and that she couldn't count on him for a hundred years. Today, there's Gu Wushuang. Tomorrow, there'll be Chen Wushuang. He's hopeless! "
Huo Chuchu spread his hands and moved closer to the crib to tease the little guy.
"That's why they want to see photos of our little baby every day now."
Gu Shishi sweated and slapped her hand away.
"You just finished peeling oranges. Go wash your hands first."
Huo Chuchu quickly smiled.
"Okay, let's not talk about my family! What about you, sister-in-law? I heard that Gu Wushuang's mother gave you the shares and Gu Jiangxin's shares? "
Gu Shishi helplessly took out a wet tissue and passed it to her.
"She said she wanted to give it to me, but I didn't care. Your brother was the one who talked to them from the beginning."
She didn't want to ask for it, but if they wanted to give it to her, she wouldn't refuse.
Originally, the original owner of this body had the right to own these shares.
Huo Chuchu immediately grinned. "Gu Wushuang is too greedy. She deserves to be abandoned by everyone! However, I guess that Gu Jiangxin gave you the shares because she wanted you to compete with Gu Wushuang. "
Gu Shishi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
She took out her phone and glanced at it.
"I almost got depressed recently. It's all thanks to her."
Every day, the HR Department gave her all kinds of salary and benefits. They said that they recognized her drawing skills and allowed her to make all kinds of requests. They could satisfy all of her requests … It was simply giving her confidence!
"Okay, I'll give her a big gift when I get home today!"
Gu Shishi smiled. She tapped on her phone a few times and sent her resume to the poor HR Department.
"I hope that Gu Wushuang will be happy when she sees my resume."
