83 Symbolic Meaning
Shangguan Ding smiled and said, “That’s different. This bottle has an extraordinary meaning. This is the first gift you’ve given me. At the same time, it’s also your first bottle of perfume, so the meaning is even more significant.”
Jian Xing’er was stunned. What gift? Did she say that this was a gift for him?
When she came back to her senses, Jian Xing’er went straight to the storeroom and filled 20 bottles with the remaining perfume.
This perfume only had one flaw. It couldn’t be produced in large quantities.
By the time everything was done, the sky was already dark.
Jian Xing’er called Li Kun back to the office.
Sun Yue also came along.
Sun Yue was a woman, so she definitely knew more about perfume than Li Kun did.
Li Kun said respectfully, “Chairman, why did you call us here?”
Jian Xing’er pointed at the perfume and said, “Put down your work for the time being. I have a mission for you guys. Send the perfume here to the auction house. The starting bid will be 100,000 yuan. It can’t be lower than 100,000 yuan.”
Li Kun and Sun Yue were stunned.
They thought that there was something important, but they didn’t expect it to be an auction for perfume.
Sun Yue said, “Chairman, Tianmei Corporation hasn’t been established for long, so there are still many things to do, but you called us over to sell perfume. If this continues, how can we manage Tianmei Corporation well?”
Li Kun signaled Sun Yue to shut up.
However, Sun Yue ignored him and continued, “Chairman, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but as a higher-up of the company, I hope you won’t take this lightly.”
Sun Yue was a straightforward person, so she would say whatever she was dissatisfied with directly.
It was precisely because of this that Sun Yue would be fired quickly no matter where she worked.
Jian Xing’er said, “This isn’t child’s play. This perfume is enough to make Tianmei Corporation famous and stabilize the company’s foundation.”
Sun Yue said bluntly, “Chairman, where did you find this perfume?”
Jian Xing’er said calmly, “I developed it myself.”
Sun Yue was stunned. After Sun Yue took a deep breath, she said bluntly, “Technology is very advanced now. Top-notch perfumes rely on top-notch technology. The old methods are impossible to develop a good perfume with. No one will want a perfume like this.”
Sun Yue made Jian Xing’er’s perfume sound useless.
Li Kun immediately said, “Sun Yue, shut up! Do I need a manager like you to lecture the chairman?!”
Then, Li Kun looked at Jian Xing’er and quickly said to Sun Yue, “Do whatever the chairman asks you to do immediately. Don’t you understand this? If you don’t understand, you don’t have to stay in Tianmei Corporation.”
Sun Yue said coldly, “If this continues, Tianmei Corporation will be eliminated sooner or later. I don’t want to stay here anymore.”
Li Kun panicked for a moment. He thought that Jian Xing’er would be very angry, but he didn’t expect her to smile instead.
Li Kun and Sun Yue were even more puzzled.
Jian Xing’er admired Sun Yue’s personality.
Sun Yue wasn’t someone who sucked up to people, but someone who dared to tell the truth.
When her superior did something unfavorable to the company, Sun Yue spoke up directly. This was very good. Jian Xing’er knew that honest advice was usually quite harsh and difficult to accept.
With Sun Yue in the company, Jian Xing’er felt very assured.
Jian Xing’er said, “Very good. I’ll announce that from now on, Sun Yue will be the general manager of Tianmei Corporation.”
When Sun Yue heard this, she was stunned.
She thought that Jian Xing’er would fire her angrily, but she actually appointed her as the general manager.
Sun Yue said in confusion, “Chairman, I…”
This was the first time Sun Yue had encountered such a thing.
Previously, when Sun Yue pointed out problems to the leaders of every company, other than being fired, she was also ostracized.
This time, not only was she not fired, but she was also appointed as the general manager.
Jian Xing’er said, “You don’t flatter others. You simply say what you want. The Corporation needs people like you. As long as you’re around, the Corporation will have a better future. Stay in the Corporation and help me. Tell me your conditions and I’ll agree to all of them.”
Jian Xing’er was very confident in her judgment.
Sun Yue was definitely an elite among talents.
Moreover, Sun Yue’s abilities far exceeded Li Kun’s.
Sun Yue said happily, “Chairman, I admire your magnanimity. Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you.”
Jian Xing’er nodded.
Li Kun was very embarrassed.
Jian Xing’er looked at Sun Yue and said, “I trust you, so you have to trust me. This perfume is not an ordinary perfume.”
