Spending the Villain's Money to Extend My Life

Most importantly, many people had learned about Huajian from the official account with over 100,000 fans and also went shopping at their flagship store. Huajian’s sales reached a new high all of a sudden.

“Boss Gu, our high-end products are still No. 1 in domestic brands this month.

“But Huajian is getting close.”

That was what Gu Wushuang had learned from her Manager of Sales during their morning meeting.

“The new packaging of our high-end products resembles their advertisement style a lot.

“Now that Huajian is going the video advertisement route, they had beat us to the market. Boss Gu, if we are to follow through with the ink painting style, I’m afraid we will not be able to surpass Huajian any time soon.”

The first to the game is always important.

Especially when it comes to business opportunities.

Whoever that got to the market first would have the utmost advantages.

Someone coming from behind could imitate but it would be costly.

Gu Wushuang’s face dropped a little.

She couldn’t control the anger that roiled back and forth inside of her.

“Did Human Resource run into some sort of issues? I remember I have said to recruit that artist no matter what it takes. Why hasn’t that happened yet?

“Manager Li, pray tell whether this is a matter of what we can offer or the competency of our Human Resource?”

Gu Wushuang was enraged.

She had totally saw this coming from a mile away and she should have been able to beat Huajian to it!

Nevertheless…… she looked around the conference room and felt that everyone that Gu Jiangxin had left behind were useless. The experienced ones were useless, as were the new ones!

She tried to pick the tallest ones among shorties and had brought up a few of them to important roles but none of them yielded any results!

“Then there was Marketing, Strategic, and Sales……

“Why was it that nobody had thought about working with a capital city tour? Why was it that someone else could come up with that idea but not you?

“Was it that difficult?”

Gu Wushuang, annoyed, started talking in her old habit of pitiful questioning style.

“I would like to have an idea on how to salvage this. Can that be done?”

The entire crew of upper management, between the old and young faces, lowered their heads.

They hadn’t been working with her for a long time but everyone had already figured out their young boss’s modus operandi.

She had no past experiences and would mostly listen in on meetings.

After two or three meetings and, seemingly became familiarized with the format of the meetings, she started proposing all sorts of ideas on how to make their products more expensive, more high-end, and catchier.

It didn’t matter if nobody agreed with her, she would still insist on her ways.

Nevertheless, when they ran into actual problems, she would only ask questions and never office any solutions. She only waited for others to come up with ideas as though everybody else was useless and that they were not even able to figure out something so simple and had disappointed her for her trust and support.

Sure enough, as soon as everybody had lowered their head, they heard a soft voice coming from the head of the table.

“I really wish to make it through this difficult time with you all. Can everyone please pull their own weight? Let’s bring Jiahe up to its next level, defend its No. 1 standing, and not let any other domestic brand surpass it. Can we do that?

“Jiahe’s once glory should not be shattered in our hands.”

All of the empty words were but a big waste of meeting time.

The older generation in the upper mgmt. who had chose to stay and bow to her exchanged a look of despise that everybody else would understand.

Even the newly promoted management had gone from full of ambitious to agreeing with her expressionlessly.

This was a company. It wasn’t a place for romance or where mothers and daughters would exchange their true feelings.

It was difficult for a boss with no substances to command respect.

Everybody’s eyes started to drift.
