Chapter 300 - Start Anew
“If you were like this since earlier, we wouldn’t have wasted so much time.” Mu Qiqi withdrew her sharp gaze. Then, everyone started reading the proposal seriously.
At the same time, Mu Qiqi explained orally to them. “In recent years, the events of Huang Yao turned into havoc because of the bad relationship between the sisters-in-law of the Liu family. Every time they are in the same place, they would cause a fight and make all the guests unhappy. However, they are both the valued customers of Huang Yao. Both must be invited to our programs. I know you fear them. But have you thought of a way to solve the problem?”
“We are just ordinary people. We wouldn’t dare to do it.” Someone voiced out his concern. “They are all so powerful. They never see us as humans. If we make a mistake, we will lose our jobs. We need to earn a living for our families.”
“My only concern is to know if you have tried solving the problem.”
Mu Qiqi asked patiently once more.
They shook their heads.
“Right, have you read my proposal?”
They bent their heads down and read the proposal. Flipping through the pages, everyone’s eyes shone. They were getting very excited.
“It’s so clever!”
“Indeed. Very clever.”
“Wonderful.”
They started praising her. “Why haven’t I thought of separating the two during the event? When they don’t see each other, they won’t fight. Then there will be no unhappy episodes during the event. Before this, we needed to consider the budget and cost, but if we turn this into a marketing event for Huang Yao, we can even save the budget. When we work with the marketing team, we will have more resources.”
When Mu Qiqi saw that they approved her plan, she started explaining in detail.
“On the side of Eldest Mrs. Liu, we will go with a more heartwarming theme. Mr. Liu has agreed to cooperate, and he has found the jewelry set that Huang Yao sold in an auction, the set that is equivalent to our classic collection. Retro style is the trend now. I have checked the latest international trend. It is a ten-year circle. So, it should be classic and retro now. As for Second Mrs. Liu, we will go with a young women’s theme. We give her the chance to be in the limelight so she will be too busy to pick a fight with anyone. I have done a background check on her. She likes new and trendy things. She is a good candidate to represent vitality. We shall let her try on the new collection. Firstly, we can satisfy her vanity. Secondly, it is a good marketing tactic. For this, you need to get people and work on this. The two events must be connected in some way, that is, a screen that projects the other site of this event. It creates an illusion to them, as if Huang Yao is holding an event, it is just that they are in two different dimensions. And most importantly, the venues of the event must be kept a secret. We don’t print the address on the invitation cards. Huang Yao will send transportation to bring them to the venue. With this, we can avoid the leak of the venue information. Also, we can ensure that the guests are sent to the right places, especially the two Mrs. Lius. And one more, since it is the night of giving back to the customers, we shall let them feel our sincerity. When the new collection is launched, we will give them small gifts as part of our service.”
“How about a discount?” They started to have questions.
“Rich people do not care about money. A discount is an insult to them. So, we should focus on improving our service,” replied Mu Qiqi.
“Miss Mu is right. I saw it once. I saw a couple of rich women going shopping. But the goods they wanted to buy were out of stock. The employee there offered them a discount if they chose something else. In the end, the rich women just threw money at her face, saying they were not short of money.”
Eventually, the employees changed their attitude toward the nineteen-year-old girl.
Firstly, she had a big picture in her mind. She would go and find out things in detail before drafting her plan. She was well prepared.
Secondly, she was brave and a strategist with a sharp mind.
Lastly, she performed better than experienced workers like them who had worked so long in this field. This made them feel ashamed.
Mama Sheng’s secretary had not seen the planning department being so fired up in a long time. They were now very energetic and lively.
The meeting took just two hours but everyone benefited from it.
Finally, Mu Qiqi assigned tasks to the employees based on what they excelled in. Then again, she warned them playfully. “Honestly, Grandpa sent me here because he wants to embarrass me and you. So, if you want to ensure the plan works, don’t tell anyone about it. We should keep it a secret. If I am betrayed, the event will fail.”
“Don’t worry, Miss Mu. One last question, was this proposal given to you by the crown prince?”
Mu Qiqi was about to answer the question when Sheng Xiao came after finishing his meeting. In fact, he had been standing behind the door for quite some time.
Everyone looked at him walking to the front. He flipped through the proposal. “Although I saw her working on this all day, this is my first time reading it. Do you think she needs my help with this?”
The employees laughed. “We don’t think so.”
“Trust your instinct. Anything else? If not, I shall bring her out for lunch now.”
“Suit yourself, Crown Prince. See you again, Miss Mu.” The employees closed their files and stood up.
“Please keep the document safe. Remember to keep a low profile!”
Mu Qiqi reminded them again before leaving. It was not that she did not trust them, she just wanted to keep that old man out of her business.
Mama Sheng’s secretary followed behind them. She was very impressed with Mu Qiqi.
After the two left, the secretary walked closer to Mama Sheng. “Ma’am, has Young Mistress never considered working in Huang Yao? It’s my first time seeing such a lively team. Besides, her ways of solving problems are very clever.”
“Really?” Mama Sheng laughed.
“Her style is somewhat different from Crown Prince. Crown Prince is cynical but Young Mistress is energetic and enterprising. Everything she does is the art of marketing. It is not easy to think of these ideas.”
After hearing how her secretary had praised Mu Qiqi, Mama Sheng looked forward to the banquet this year. She wanted to see how amazing it would turn out to be.
“Crown Prince is so good at choosing his woman. I know why he loves Young Mistress so much now.”
No one from the other departments knew what Mu Qiqi had told the planning department in the meeting room. They had been like dead fish when they went into the room. But now, they had transformed into a bunch of lively monkeys.
Amazing.
The planning department had always been looked down upon by the other departments. So, they had always lived in fear. But now, were they going to start anew?
