Chapter 38: Beautifully Freezing

Gu Bing had his feet on the office desk, looking listlessly at Jian Qiu, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him.

"You came banging on my door before seven o'clock, didn't even let me eat breakfast, and dragged me to the office. If you're here, just say what you have to say. You just sat there drinking tea, and a whole thermos of water was drunk by you."

Gu Bing opened his mouth wide and yawned. "I'm not your brother. From now on, I'll be your younger brother. Big sister, my dear big sister, what exactly do you want?"

Jian Qiu crossed her legs, her sexy, elastic long legs tightly wrapped in jeans. The foot she had crossed was showing a round, tender white heel, and her toe was flicking her high heels back and forth.

Jian Qiu lifted her eyelids, placed the teacup she was holding in her hands onto the coffee table, and then leaned back with her arms crossed: "To be honest, who planned the marketing for Jiangzhou Jiangzhou Yugong?"

Gu Bing raised his head, his expression angry: "I've told you so many times, I proposed the reform, and I made the marketing plan. Why don't you believe me?"

Jian Qiu picked up the teacup again, not drinking, just holding it, looking at a newspaper on the coffee table, ignoring Gu Bing.

Seeing Jian Qiu's appearance, Gu Bing was like a deflated ball, immediately wilting, raising both hands: "I surrender, I surrender. Changing the packaging of big sorghum liquor, changing the name, taking the mid-to-high-end route, and the marketing were all planned by Zhou Andong."

Jian Qiu raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

Actually, she also thought the reform wouldn't succeed, but unlike others, she had no objection to the plan of creating a new brand and taking the mid-to-high-end route, because she believed this was the only way to save the winery. However, creating a new brand wasn't just about changing to beautiful packaging and a good name.

You have to let consumers know about this product, and you have to make consumers willing to buy it, which requires investing a large amount of capital for publicity. But the winery couldn't even pay the employees' wages. If there was no support from the city, this plan was a joke.

Moreover, the biggest difficulty wasn't the funding problem, but the two stumbling blocks, Gao Qingkui and Zhang Deyou, because the sales channels were all in the hands of those two old things. They wouldn't let Gu Bing raise his head and would definitely try every possible means to suppress him, not letting a single bottle be sold.

So she suspected that the person who gave this plan didn't have good intentions and was digging a hole for Gu Bing. And it was very likely that this person was arranged by Gao Qingkui and Zhang Deyou. After the reform failed, they would have an excuse to kick Gu Bing out of the winery.

Because she understood Gu Bing's character very well—he was the silly son of a landlord, interested in nothing but eating, drinking, and having fun. If it weren't for someone egging him on, he wouldn't have that string in his brain for reform.

She had also heard that it was the university student Zhou Andong in the factory who fooled Gu Bing. But when she asked, Gu Bing's reaction made her very angry, saying she looked down on him, that this reform plan was his own, and he even complained to her mother, scolding her.

This also confirmed one thing for her: Gu Bing was her mother's own nephew, while whether she, the daughter, was her own was a question mark. Then she stopped paying attention. At worst, this silly son of a landlord would just move to another place; anyway, he was just waiting for death wherever he was.

But yesterday afternoon, a piece of news completely shocked her. The sales phones in the Supply and Marketing Section were blown up, all inquiring about and wanting to purchase Jiangzhou Yugong Liquor. At that time, she realized she seemed to have missed something and immediately picked up the phone to call her subordinates to understand the situation.

Then, in the chaotic information, she saw a complete marketing plan. When she studied it deeply, she found that the execution of this marketing plan so far was only to build awareness, letting retailers, wholesalers, and enterprises—these mid-to-high-end consumer groups—know about Jiangzhou Jiangzhou Yugong Liquor.

She lay in bed all night without sleeping well. The marketing she understood and saw now was like a powerful formation, trapping Gao Qingkui and Zhang Deyou inside. But wanting to defeat them was also unlikely, because those two old things held the magic weapon of channels. So she believed that the person who set up this formation must also have a magic weapon that could deliver a fatal blow to Gao Qingkui and Zhang Deyou.

It's just that she didn't know what this magic weapon was or when it would explode. So she pondered back and forth. If she had made this marketing plan, how would she break the situation?

And there was the staff meeting Gu Bing convened this morning. If it were before, she would have just thought Gu Bing was buying people's hearts. But now she wouldn't think so; there must be something deeper she hadn't seen yet.

After thinking all night without figuring it out, she couldn't wait, so she got up early and ran to Gu Bing's house, dragged Gu Bing to the office, and then didn't say or ask anything, just put pressure on Gu Bing to make him nervous. Sure enough, men, you have to put pressure on them, otherwise, they won't say a word of truth.

Gu Bing said irritably: "Believe it or not!"

Jian Qiu curled her lips and put down the teacup again: "Tell me your plan in detail."

Gu Bing was very helpless. He had originally thought that if this reform succeeded, he could show off in front of his family. Now it seemed he wouldn't be able to show off. Then he honestly and very detailedly told the plan again.

"Awesome!"

Jian Qiu spat out two words. It turned out they had already sent Jiangzhou Jiangzhou Yugong Liquor to the top, added it to the list of comfort items, and once the newspaper came out, the power of this magic weapon would be too great. Plus the staff meeting Gu Bing convened yesterday morning, digging a hole for Zhang Deyou and Gao Qingkui, they wouldn't be able to avoid jumping in.

Jian Qiu sighed again: "Every step looks like a joke, but it's step-by-step, and it has figured out people's hearts. Too awesome."

Gu Bing said triumphantly: "How about it? Is the strategist by my side awesome?"

Jian Qiu nodded: "There's one thing I don't understand. He's so awesome and talented, why has he been silent and inactive for these past few years?"

Gu Bing shrugged: "You'll have to ask him that yourself."

*Tap, tap, tap... *

The office door was suddenly knocked. Before Gu Bing could speak, Zhou Andong pushed the door and entered: "Leader, business is here."

As soon as he entered, Zhou Andong saw Jian Qiu sitting on the sofa, and then he was stunned. He knew Jian Qiu, the factory union director. It could be said that in the twenty-plus years of his life after being laid off, this woman had always been stored in his memory.

She was simply too beautiful. All the women he had seen in his previous life, including female stars in TV and movies and those young ladies and socialites from famous families, whether in temperament or appearance, those who could compare with Jian Qiu could be counted on ten fingers.

Jian Qiu didn't expect Zhou Andong to break in directly after knocking. Sitting on the sofa, she didn't react for a moment.

Zhou Andong's gaze naturally fell on Jian Qiu's legs, especially the feet flicking her high heels. It was so cold today, yet this woman wasn't even wearing socks, and she was wearing single shoes. Truly beautifully freezing. ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
