On the way to Guanshan, Lu Xinyan was still thinking about the big fight she had with Pan Mingliang in the office in the morning. She had made careful preparations, trying to use shocking financial data and highly feasible improvement plans to persuade Pan Mingliang to adopt her suggestions, and save Kuaiyouduo by comprehensively shrinking the battle line, digesting existing achievements, and building a central kitchen. Now Kuaiyouduo has a big head and a fat belly because of greed, but its legs are stunted and cannot support this deformed and huge body. If it continues to operate according to the previous strategy, it will only be a bottomless pit that constantly devours funds. When the capital chain breaks, it will be the day of bankruptcy and liquidation.
Pan Mingliang flew into a rage, pointed at her nose and cursed, "If you hadn't been so determined to fight Qinghe from the beginning, and hadn't been holding back to open stores one after another, how could it have come to this?"
Lu Xinyan was not someone who could be easily provoked, so she was not willing to take on this responsibility. She retorted, "If we had not been competing with Qinghe in the first place, how could we have opened up the market and grown stronger in just one year? Besides, this strategy was approved by the company at a meeting, and you, Mr. Pan, also signed it."
"you… "
Pan Mingliang had no way to deal with her. This woman had a close relationship with Gu Wenzhou. If things got too tense, no one would be able to back down. He angrily said, "Since you said there's no problem with the previous strategy, then let's continue to implement it!"
"You also know that was in the past. In the past, the people of Qingzhou drank water from wells. Now that we have tap water, do we still need to dig wells?" Lu Xinyan was sharp-tongued and showed no mercy to Pan Mingliang. She said, "This is a different time. Qinghe is no longer something we can easily shake. Forcibly following its rhythm will only lead Kuaiyouduo into a pit. It will be even more difficult to climb out! Mr. Pan, you have a deep family background and are very wealthy. If you can't stay here, I will find other places to stay. At worst, I can just leave. I am definitely not afraid of Kuaiyouduo losing everything, but I am afraid of failing to live up to the trust of others and feeling guilty..."
She openly and covertly brought up Gu Shitong to disgust people, which aroused Pan Mingliang's ferocity. His face turned pale and he grinned: "Boss Lu, when it comes to talking, I can't compare with you. After all, you make a living by doing this. But I am the boss of Kuaiyouduo, and I have the final say. Not only can the competition with Qinghe not stop, but it must be further strengthened. I will open as many stores as it opens, and I will spend twice as much on publicity as it does! As for the problems you are worried about, I naturally have ways to solve them. In a few days, you can wait and see the good show of Qinghe!"
After all, Lu Xinyan was a highly educated person, and she usually considered herself intellectual. It was the first time that she had ever been personally insulted in an argument. Her face turned pale with anger, and she threw the documents on the desk and left without saying a word.
Just like you, a country bumpkin, how can you solve the Qinghe problem
joke!
As soon as Lu Xinyan left the general manager's office, she drove her red BMW to Guanshan without notifying anyone. She was not qualified to report directly to Gu Shitong. Besides, what was the relationship between Pan Mingliang and Gu Shitong? She might not win if she rashly went to complain, so she called Gu Wenzhou and learned that he was inspecting Yuquan Clothing City, so she drove straight there.
Yuquan Clothing City is located in the southern part of Guanshan, not far from the railway station and the passenger terminal. It has convenient transportation and dense traffic. It is the largest clothing wholesale market in the entire Huanghuai River Basin. Lu Xinyan met Gu Wenzhou at the clothing city management office. His handsome appearance inherited the characteristics of the Gu family. The glasses on his nose made him look more bookish than Gu Wenyuan, which was very easy to attract people's favor.
Gu Wenzhou smiled and said, "Why did you suddenly remember Guan Shan came to see me?"
"Can't I come and see you? Then I'll be leaving!"
Gu Wenzhou grabbed Lu Xinyan's wrist, gently pulled her into his arms, and held her on his lap, saying, "Okay, of course, I'm so happy that you came to see me."
Lu Xinyan smiled sweetly, but the next moment her face turned cloudy and she said, "Wenzhou, I don't want to do any more work any more!"
Gu Wenzhou was surprised and asked, "What happened out of the blue?"
Lu Xinyan said bitterly: "It's that stupid and lustful Pan Mingliang who bullied me!"
"He bullied you?"
Gu Wenzhou's expression changed and he sat up straight. Lu Xinyan knew that he had misunderstood her and said unhappily, "What are you thinking? This is what happened. He insisted on doing what he wanted and refused to listen to my opinion..."
After Lu Xinyan finished explaining the whole story, Gu Wenzhou had never expected that in such a short time, Kuai Youduo would be left behind by Qinghe by such a huge margin. However, he was a member of the Gu family after all, and he knew what Gu Shitong was thinking. He frowned and said, "Old Pan probably has no other options. Don't argue with him."
Seeing that Gu Wenzhou did not stand on her side for the first time, Lu Xinyan was also a smart person. She immediately knew that something was wrong and said, "Wenzhou, you should tell me the truth now. What exactly is Mr. Gu planning? If this continues, the extra 10 or 20 million we invested will be wasted!"
Twenty million is not a lot, but it is not a small amount either. If it is paid off so easily, Gu Shitong will be furious. When the time comes, Pan Mingliang was personally appointed by Gu Shitong, and they have been friends for decades, so he will not vent his anger on him. However, Lu Xinyan is a management talent specially recommended by Gu Wenzhou from abroad. She is responsible for the daily operation of Kuaiyouduo. Isn't she the best person to take the blame
Lu Xinyan took the blame, and Gu Wenzhou could not escape the responsibility either. He thought for a while and roughly told Lu Xinyan about the grievances between Gu Shitong and Wen Huaiming. Only then did Lu Xinyan understand why Pan Mingliang disregarded business rules and insisted on fighting to the death with Qinghe.
"It's better to take action than to stay still. Since Old Pan said he has a way, don't worry about it. Let him do it. If it succeeds, you will have a share of the credit. If it fails, I can speak for you in front of Mr. Gu in the future." Gu Wenzhou was afraid that she would get angry and really walk away, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, even if Kuai Youduo really fails, Minghua Group is such a big plate, there will always be a place for you to display your talents. When the time comes, we will join hands and there will definitely be a big situation."
Lu Xinyan came to Guanshan today, apparently to find a way out quickly, but in fact she was waiting for Gu Wenzhou to say this, so she nodded and said, "I'll listen to you!"
However, they didn't know that the man bribed by Pan Mingliang was completely frightened after being disciplined by Huang Xiaoming. According to Wen Liang's instructions, he first said that the central kitchen was recently cleaning up its hygiene and the inspection was relatively strict, so he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to start. Then he said that the risk was too great and that he might lose his job and even couldn't stay in Qingzhou. He demanded that the other party pay another 20,000 yuan. Anyway, if it dragged on like this, every day it dragged on, he would have to spend more money to fight against Qinghe.
Time is on Qinghe's side! (To be continued)
