Shen Fanxing didnt reject Bo Jinchuan's request. Since he wanted to find a place, she should let him do so.
She just felt that this manor was too far away from her new company.
After all these years, she was used to the fast-paced and modern lifestyle. This place was like a paradise for gods, and it wasn't the time for her to enjoy it yet.
Shen Fanxing was prepared to be a source of vicious gossip for her new colleagues. But nonetheless, on her first day, there was a small welcoming ceremony.
Shen Fanxing felt a little uncomfortable.
She wasn't used to such enthusiasm.
Noticing her reaction, Xu Qingzhi clapped her hands and said,
"Alright… I hereby announce that Fanxing will be Zhi Qin Cosmetics' chief perfumer from now on. Siluo, you'll be her assistant."
"Yes, boss."
A girl in a light blue dress with short wavy hair stood up. She bowed to Shen Fanxing and greeted her warmly. "Hello Teacher Shen, I'm Ye Siluo."
"Hi," answered Shen Fanxing casually.
Xu Qingzhi continued, "Fanxing is new here, so I hope everyone can help her to familiarize herself with the situation. In addition, we'll postpone the welcoming dinner to welcome her. The company is currently very busy. Inform the senior management to have a meeting in the conference room. Fanxing, join us."
"Oh… Okay."
In the conference room, Xu Qingzhi sat on the seat with a calm expression.
The agenda for the meeting was about the completion of the massive mall constructed by the Bo Consortium in the north part of the city.
The moment Xu Qingzhi asked the question, the conference room fell silent.
Shen Fanxing understood the reason for the silence.
Even though Zhi Qin Cosmetics had garnered good reviews and praise, its scale was too small. It couldn't even compete with the local brands, let alone the international ones.
Moreover the Su Corporation… was determined to enter the new shopping mall as well.
Perhaps everyone present at the meeting felt that Xu Qingzhi's decision was a waste of time and effort.
Shen Fanxing shared the same thought too.
It was the truth. No matter how they view the situation, there was no chance for Zhi Qin.
Xu Qingzhi leaned back in her chair and propped her head with her hand. Everyone could vaguely make out her tense expression.
Shen Fanxing watched her and went silent for a while before saying,
"Let's analyze it first."
Everyone turned to look at her when the words left her lips.
Even Xu Qingzhi looked up at her hopefully.
"Zhi Qin Cosmetics has her own products and has always maintained good reviews. The quality of the products may not pale in comparison to some of the internationally-renowned brands, am I right?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Even the staff used their own company's products.
With a calm expression, Shen Fanxing trudged on,
"There's no problem with our company's products. They're even better than some international brands, but our sales can't be compared to theirs. Why?
"We don't have any developmental history and far too little experience. Our brand will not be trusted by consumers," answered one of the management.
Shen Fanxing shook her head and said, "Every international brand has little experience too. This is because they don't have research and development specialists who will dedicate decades or even centuries developing products for the company. Moreover, new products are emerging every year. Not every product is produced by a master or specialist…"
Shen Fanxing looked up and her eyes swiveled across everyone present.. She concluded, "It's because of the lack of reputation."
