Words I Was Afraid To Hear

Midori Xiu was walking along the production line of XCG"s brand of shoes . They have been into ladies shoes for some years and they just started on the production of mens shoes . The feedback from their launch was positive enough to earn their projected sales . She then decided to relaunch their ladies shoes for a new bridal line to match the formal mens shoes they recently advertised .

She proceeded to meet the COO of the brand .

"CEO Xiu, we plan to have Janice Chen and her fiancé Fa Zhang as our models for the advertis.e.m.e.nt . " COO Huang politely reported .

Midori readjusted her gla.s.ses which sat on her pet.i.te nose . "The actress Janice Chen and the Young Master Fa are getting married?" She still had her poker face .

"Yes, CEO . It would also appeal to the consumers since it would be used in a real wedding . "

"You"ve already convince them to wear our products which are new in the market, to use at their wedding?" She was skeptical .

"Uh . . . I am planning to offer them a free set as grat.i.tude for taking the advertis.e.m.e.nt job . " COO Huang felt cold sweat on his temples .

"So COO Huang, if they wear another brand on their fully publicized wedding, what will happen to our bridal line?" She emphasized each word .

The words were like swords stabbing COO Huang . "I . . . I will do something about it, CEO . " If he could bury himself right then, he would .

Midori glared at him then stood up . Her high heels clicking away as she exited the building .

The a.s.sistant to the COO nervously asked, "Boss, is the CEO always this scary?"

COO Huang glanced at her . "The previous CEO was strict but not like this . Also, he always flashes a refreshing smile when good things are happening in sales . "

"So, does this mean the new CEO is not happy with our sales?"

"I don"t really know . . . but rumor has it that she never smiles to anyone in the company . Too bad the previous CEO had that accident . "

Midori was looking through a few doc.u.ments in her office when there was a knock on her door .

"Come in . " she said without looking up .

Riley briskly walked and bowed in front of her desk . "CEO, the CEO of ZFC has requested a meeting with you . "

"Deputy CEO Lin Shao Liang?" she still maintained her position as she browsed doc.u.ments .

"No, CEO . It"s CEO Verdan Zhou . He just arrived and took over . He has been the CEO managing the company in City B for years but it seemed ZFC Headquarters pulled him out to take over . "

With that, she looked up . "Is it a business meeting?"

Riley was shocked at the question . He just a.s.sumed that it was since the deputy CEO of ZFC had always requested business meetings with their CEO . However, given the question, he thought that CEO Xiu should not be lied to or given uncertain answers .

"I apologize, CEO . I will verify and will get back to you on the matter . "

Midori looked into the doc.u.ments on her desk again . "No need for that . If it"s about business, schedule it . If it"s a personal meeting, always decline . " she paused . "You can go now . "
