Chapter 18 Patience is limited

Jiang Han discovered that when his emotions were not disturbed by Xu Yan, he was very logical and methodical in doing things, and was good at grasping the other party’s weaknesses.

Cheng Ji brought Xu Yan back. He didn’t understand Xu Yan’s current way of doing things, but with someone like Cheng Xu around, if he stirred up trouble and caused internal conflicts, Meisi Group would be seriously injured.

The frustrated Cheng Xu is a breakthrough.

After the business trip, Xu Yan returned to Canghai City. He went to Cheng Ji to pick up Wuyou and Wulv , and then started his nine-to-six workday.

During this trip, she received orders worth nearly 30 million. Combined with the sales from Qian Kun and online, after more than a week, she had already shipped 35 million units.

This number gave Meisi Group a sigh of relief. Everyone was so enthusiastic when they saw Xu Yan that they felt like they were seeing their parents again. The e-commerce festival had made a comeback, and now that online sales were stable, the year-end bonus must be higher than the previous year.

Xu Yan was not carried away by the victory. She understood that popularity is time-limited. If she wants to maintain her high popularity, she must have new highlights.

The new hot spot will probably be live broadcasting. Now is the era of developed self-media, and video communication is more effective than text communication.

Before she could communicate with the live broadcast team, Cheng Ji called her to his office to discuss his recent work plans.

“I think we still need to find a way to do online live streaming,” she said.

Cheng Ji asked, “Have you thought of any solution?”

Xu Yan shook his head, “Not yet. Let’s all take a breather, don’t rush.”

Cheng Ji pursed his lips, “Do you know how much Xiao Dong and his friends spend per month?”

“Five hundred thousand a month.” Xu Yan replied.

“Five hundred thousand a month, that’s six million a year. If there’s no follow-up, it’ll be hard for me to keep them.”

This made Xu Yan silent. Six million is not much for a large company, but it is the annual profit of many small and medium-sized enterprises.

Meisi Group has just gotten a breath of fresh air and wants to spend its money wisely.

“I’ll go communicate with Xiao Dong and the others first to see if they have any good ideas,” she said.

Cheng Ji pursed his lips and nodded, “Okay, go first.”

Xu Yan looked at him and had something to say, but swallowed it back.

“Just say whatever you want to say.”

“Xiao Dong’s live broadcast team has made great contributions. You and I can see the results they have achieved. The number of viewers in their live broadcast room is far higher than that of their peers. To be honest, as for this team, even if there is no more explosive points in the future, we should still support them to prevent them from jumping to our competitors.” Xu Yan said.

Cheng Ji sighed, “I know that too. The president of Meisi Group is surnamed Cheng, but he is not from the Cheng family at all.”

...

Xu Yan finished what he was doing, bought some desserts and milk tea, and went to the live broadcast team’s office.

The members of the live broadcast team are all young, consisting of two girls and two boys. The core member is Dong Jingjie , who is one year younger than her.

At this moment, they were not on the live broadcast, and a few people were rehearsing the script. When they saw Xu Yan coming, they happily came up to greet her, “Sister Yan is here.”

Xu Yan put the milk tea and cakes she bought on the small table. “It’s Sister Yan’s treat today. There’s plenty of milk tea, desserts and snacks.”

The four of them quickly opened the bag, took out the milk tea, inserted straws and drank it.

Sweets can make people happy. Seeing their happy faces, Xu Yan also started to smile. Dong Jingjie put down her milk tea, took out a small cake, and asked her while eating, “Sister Yan, what instructions do you have for coming here today?”

Xu Yan smiled at her and said, “Let’s talk after you finish eating.”

Dong Jingjie was stunned for a moment and said, “Sister Yan, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I feel uneasy when you watch us eat like this.”

Xu Yan said, “Our live broadcast room has been open for more than three months. If a TV series is broadcast two episodes every day, will it end after three months?”

The four people put down their food and looked at her. Dong Jingjie asked, “Is the company dissatisfied with our live broadcast now?”

“It’s not that I’m dissatisfied.” Xu Yan pursed her lips, “You should also be able to feel that the popularity of the live broadcast room is not as good as before. The loss of fans means that online sales will decrease, and it will be difficult to attract new customers.”

Another boy asked, “So what does the company want us to do?”

Xu Yan replied, “The company does not interfere with your creation, but just hopes to create another hot topic. From your perspective, you should also have this desire.”

Dong Jingjie thought for a moment and said, “We can change to another topic. Now it’s about ancient costumes, so we can change it to modern family matters, especially topics like bride price and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which are easy to attract attention.”

“You can decide the subject matter yourselves. Sales are good at the moment, so everyone can take a break for a while and create slowly,” said Xu Yan.

After finishing the conversation, Xu Yan stayed for a while before leaving.

...

After meeting Cheng Xu in Jian’an City, Jiang Han flew to Capital to find an agency that was good at brand communication.

Nowadays, new media has a wide range of dissemination. Whether in first-tier cities or remote villages, as long as there is a smart phone and signal coverage, people can receive information in the first place. He didn’t care much before, but the rise of Meisi Group was largely due to the power of new media.

It should be okay for him to not follow the trend of setting up plot-based live broadcast rooms and do some publicity outside the circle.

He talked with the other party for a long time and gained new understandings from communication concepts to communication methods. The other party suggested that since domestic products are popular now, he could make a series of short videos with ancient and ethnic styles.

Jiang Han reached a preliminary cooperation intention with them.

up in Canghai City. After he got in the car, he said, “Let’s go to Xu Yan’s place.”

Kang Cheng looked puzzled and repeated, “Go to Xu Yan’s place?”

“Yes!” Jiang Han rolled up his sleeves, stared out the window and whispered, “I have to settle some accounts with her.”

Kang Cheng wanted to laugh, “What’s wrong with her?”

Jiang Han turned his eyes to him and said nothing. Kang Cheng stopped laughing, didn’t dare to ask any more questions, started the car and left the airport.

If Xu Yan has nothing to do on weekends, he usually stays at home, feeds the cat, cleans up its poop, waters the flowers, tends to the vegetable garden, and finally makes a sumptuous dinner to reward himself.

I went to the market in the morning and saw fresh chestnuts for sale. I weighed two pounds and bought half a chicken. I planned to make a chestnut stewed chicken for dinner.

However, it is a bit troublesome to handle raw chestnuts. You need to cut a hole in the shell first, then put it in hot water to soften it, peel off the shell, and then peel off the fluff inside.

This is a big project that requires a lot of time and patience.

As soon as I opened the chestnuts and put them in hot water, someone rang the doorbell. When I turned on the intercom screen, I saw Jiang Han’s stern face.

He always has the problem of showing up uninvited.

She stood in the room and didn’t open the door. He immediately took out his cell phone and dialed her number. The ringing sounded in the room, and I think it could be heard outside.

“What do you want to do?” she asked in a very cold tone.

“You’re asking even though you know the answer.” Jiang Han said, moving his face closer to the intercom and sneering.

“I don’t know.” Xu Yan answered stiffly.

Jiang Han sneered, “You are so smart, how could you not know? Are you trying to shirk your debt?”

“Come to my company on Monday to discuss work,” said Xu Yan.

“Xu Yan!” Jiang Han gritted his teeth and called her name, “If you want to count it this way, when I rushed from Linjiang City to Hengshan City that night, was it considered private time or work time?”

Xu Yan knew she couldn’t avoid it because she owed him this favor. But she still made excuses, “My cats don’t like you. You’ll scare them if you come in.”

He curled his lips and said, “I won’t believe it unless they tell me in person.”

Xu Yan couldn’t find words to refute him. He came to her simply because he couldn’t swallow Mingchuan City’s humiliation. However, in the business world, people always cheat each other. His purpose of going to Mingchuan City was to snatch customers. Did she want to watch him snatch them?

Seeing that she didn’t come to open the door for a long time, Jiang Han said in a deep voice with a stern face, “Xu Yan, my patience is limited.”

Xu Yan had no choice but to open the door for him unwillingly. When he saw his face, he said unhappily, “ You won Wu Hongchang , and you have nothing to lose!”

Jiang Han stretched out his hand to push the door wider, and said as he walked in, “How come there is no loss? I asked him for three points, and I only gave Qian Kun two points.”

“Humph! If you use three points to sign him, won’t my loss be greater?” Xu Yan closed the gate and followed him.

Jiang Han stopped and looked back at her. Xu Yan followed him so fast that she was caught off guard and her nose rubbed against his chest.

She immediately covered her nose and asked him loudly, “Why did you stop?”

Jiang Han said jokingly, “I want to know, what do you have to lose? Wu Hongchang has always been focusing on Xinlan Group’s products, and he just sells Meisi Group’s products by the way.”

Xu Yan’s nose felt sore and he said uncomfortably, “I lost my travel expenses!”

Hearing her unusual voice, Jiang Han lowered his head and asked with concern, “Did it hurt?”

They were so close that he could see her eyelashes fluttering, each one distinct. For no reason, he recalled the feeling of holding her upstairs that night.

Xu Yan pushed him away rudely and strode into the house, “Never mind my business.”

She ran to the upstairs room to check her nose. Jiang Han went into the living room and stood observing the layout of the room.

About half an hour later, Xu Yan came downstairs without saying hello to him and went straight into the kitchen.

He walked toward the kitchen, leaned against the door frame, and looked at Xu Yan, tall and thin in the background, working with tools in her hands.

After watching for a while, Xu Yan didn’t notice anything, so he walked in and asked, “What are you doing?”

“Peeling chestnuts.” Xu Yan didn’t look back.

She held a small knife in her hand and peeled off the chestnut shell. The chestnut shell was soft after being scalded by hot water, but it still took some strength and skills to peel it off. Seeing her fingers moving flexibly, he became interested, “Do you have another knife? Give me one.”

“You’re not capable of doing this kind of work.” Xu Yan said this, but still handed him the knife in her hand, and then she walked towards the living room.

After a while, she came back with a delicate, shiny scalpel in her hand. Jiang Han’s legs trembled with fear. “How did you get such a tool?”

“I have worked at the Forensic Identification Center for three years, and it is normal to have such tools.”

“I noticed that you seem to particularly like doing these troublesome things. Last time you made pig lung soup, this time you peeled chestnuts. What are you going to do next time?” He looked at her sideways.

“These things are not troublesome at all compared to working in the autopsy room,” said Xu Yan.

“Xu Yan,” Jiang Han stopped what he was doing and asked her in a sincere tone, “ Did you suffer a lot in Xia’an City? “

Xu Yan sneered, “What’s so hard about living?”

Jiang Han didn’t answer.

She sneered and asked in a low voice, “Do you feel guilty now?”

“In your eyes, am I a heartless person?” Jiang Han put down the knife and asked seriously.

“I have dissected so many corpses, but I have never seen a capitalist with a conscience.” Xu Yan said

Hearing her angry answer, Jiang Han shook his head and continued peeling chestnuts, “You are sometimes prone to extremes.”

Wuyou and Wulv ran over from the cat room, rushed to his feet and meowed. He was caught off guard and the knife in his hand deviated and cut his middle finger, and blood immediately flowed into a line.
