Following Sister Gao’s words, I was momentarily stunned. Besides me, Manager Yu and Lan Xinmei were also dumbfounded. However, Manager Yu immediately said, “Okay, okay, we’ll definitely give you a satisfactory answer in the next two days.”
“Also, Mr. Lin, you’re very good. You can send me the quote.” Sister Gao nodded slightly, then looked at me.
“Okay, Sister Gao.” I quickly recovered and replied.
“Mr. Lin, conducting such market research without finalizing an endorsement, is truly professional.” Sister Gao smiled slightly, then finally left the private room with Ms. Liu Yan.
After Sister Gao and Liu Yan left, everyone’s eyes were on me, but I just smiled and sat down again.
“Ms. Lin, Manager Lin.” Manager Yu hurriedly looked at me.
“What is it, Manager Yu?” I asked.
“If I heard correctly, Sister Gao wants you to send her a quote.” Manager Yu said immediately.
“Yes, I heard her say that too,” Lan Xinmei said.
Under everyone’s gaze, I picked up my chopsticks, took a bite of food, and then said, “So?”
“So, Manager Lin, you need to follow up on Ms. Liu Yan’s endorsement? Our PR department and Manager Lan’s advertising department will certainly cooperate with you,” Manager Yu said immediately.
I frowned. I knew that if I took the lead and it succeeded, that would be fine, but if it failed, I would definitely be the one to take the blame.
“Manager Yu, Manager Lan, let me be clear from the start,” I said quickly.
“Manager Lin, please speak,” Manager Yu looked at me, and Lan Xinmei also looked at me.
“Originally, our endorsement deal with Ms. Liu Yan tonight was completely hopeless, but now the situation has improved, and we have a temporary opportunity. Moreover, the other party said that if the price is similar, they will give priority to our Daifen Company,” I said slowly.
Many things need to be made clear. I don’t want to be caught in the middle and end up taking the blame after a failure. “That’s right. It was completely hopeless before, but thanks to Manager Lin tonight,” Manager Yu nodded emphatically, and Lan Xinmei agreed.
“So these next two days, we not only need to analyze the other company’s quote, but also carefully offer a reasonable price,” I continued.
“Of course, I know that,” Manager Yu continued.
“I don’t understand quotes. I’m not in your PR or advertising department. I have no idea what price you quoted Sister Gao, or what the company’s acceptable price range is,” I shrugged.
Hearing this, Manager Yu fell into thought, but then he spoke up: “Manager Lin, whatever you say, we’ll do. I can send you a copy of the quote. Of course, our PR team is at your beck and call.”
“Yes, Manager Lin, Sister Gao and Miss Liu Yan clearly have a good impression of you. Your intervention is the best outcome,” Lan Xinmei added.
“As for Director Wang, I hope you two can explain tonight’s events to him. I’m really afraid that if I seize power, he’ll blame me,” I thought for a moment and continued. Regardless, only by being uninhibited can I truly connect with Sister Gao and Miss Liu Yan; otherwise, mere words are useless.
“Okay, I’ll call Director Wang right away!” Manager Yu said, quickly grabbing her phone and leaving the private room, with Lan Xinmei following behind.
Watching the two department managers leave, the female colleagues from the public relations department who had just looked down on me gave awkward smiles. Now, their gazes towards me were quite interesting, some even offering their business cards, intending to introduce themselves.
After Manager Yu and Lan Xinmei left the private room, I started eating.
To be honest, I was indeed hungry, but halfway through my meal, Manager Yu and Lan Xinmei came in. They smiled at me, and at that moment, my phone rang.
I casually took out my phone and glanced at it, but when I saw it was Director Wang’s number, my expression immediately turned serious, and I quickly left the private room.
“Director Wang,” I hurriedly answered the phone.
“Hahaha, Xiao Lin, I know everything that happened tonight. If it weren’t for you, we almost lost Miss Liu Yan’s endorsement.” Director Wang laughed heartily on the other end of the phone, praising me highly.
“Director Wang, it’s what I should do. But competing with Yadie is quite difficult for us,” I quickly replied.
“If you secure Miss Liu Yan’s endorsement, I’ll definitely reward you.” Director Wang clearly knew the seriousness of the situation, but he was still offering me a lucrative offer.
Director Wang and Sun Dan were so close; the sales manager position would have been a natural fit for me, but he parachuted Sun Dan into the position of my superior, and now he’s already setting up the East China sales director position. It would be a lie to say I didn’t value it.
“Director Wang, what do you say?” I smiled.
“Xiao Lin, I know you haven’t been doing well in the sales department these past two years. Manager Sun might be a bit strict, but once you secure Miss Liu Yan’s endorsement, I’ll make you the sales manager. What do you think?” Director Wang said hastily.
“Sales Manager? What will Manager Sun do then?” I frowned.
“This manager position should have been mine two years ago. I’ve been suppressed by Sun Dan for two years. Is making me a reward?” I was still somewhat resentful.
“I’ll arrange something else for Manager Sun,” Director Wang said hurriedly.
“Director Wang, Ms. if Liu Yan becomes the spokesperson for our company’s brand, our influence will definitely increase significantly. Our company is already a level below Yadie Company. If Yadie snatches Ms. Liu Yan’s endorsement, then our sales will definitely be completely suppressed by Yadie.” I thought for a moment and quickly said.
“Hmm? You don’t mean you want the director position, do you?” Director Wang seemed somewhat displeased.
“I’ve worked in the company’s sales department for so many years. In terms of seniority, no one in the sales department can compare. You know, most of our company’s old clients were people I personally cultivated in my spare time.” I continued.
Since I’ve seized an opportunity, of course I won’t let it go. I’ve long wanted to stop being suppressed by Sun Dan.
“It seems you have many grievances against Manager Sun,” Director Wang smiled.
“Not at all,” I quickly replied.
“Indeed, the position of sales manager should have been yours back then. I know you’ve always been on the front lines these past years, even with that deal in Hangzhou, I know it was your achievement. General Manager Qu has mentioned you before, and we have a deep impression of you,” Director Wang continued.
Hearing the name ‘General Manager Qu,’ I immediately thought of Qu Na from Hangzhou, Sister Qu; I hadn’t expected Qu Na to have spoken well of me to Director Wang.
“Thank you for your affirmation, Director Wang,” I took a deep breath.
