Ding Ruola had put a great deal of effort into brand promotion. So much time was wasted on it that she had no choice but to ask Zhang Wei to find someone else for the advertisement design.
Zhang Wei didn't look for others. Instead, he directly asked the people in the company to do it together.
Zhang Wei was well aware of the efficiency of the Publicity Department of Fangyuan Group. Due to the tight schedule in the end, he didn't even have time to review the draft and directly submitted it to the media.
As a result, as soon as the advertisement came out, the brand was bombarded with complaints from all sides.
The price of the products on the shelves was different from the price recommended in the advertisement. Most importantly, the promotional activities of some products conflicted with the preferential policies of the platform.
"Boss, here's a court summons!"
Zhang Jun placed a summons on Fang Siyan's desk. Fang Siyan covered his forehead and stared at the customers' complaints on the computer.
"Contact the platform. Sell all the products at the price previously stated. Compensate those who bought the products at a higher price with the price difference!"
This was the best remedy at the moment. First, solve the problem with the consumers, and then deal with the internal issues of the company.
Solaka Studio was also implicated in this incident. Some ill - intentioned person revealed that this time's marketing plan of Fangyuan Group was all written by Ding Ruola.
Solaka Studio, which had finally returned to the public eye with great difficulty, became notorious again because of this incident.
"Ruoruo, I'll find out who revealed this. I'll pay for the compensation of your studio!"
Fang Siyan originally planned to contact Ding Ruola, but he thought she would definitely not accept the compensation from his side, so he asked Zhang Wei to contact her.
Ding Ruola knew whose intention Zhang Wei was conveying. She didn't refuse. She regarded it as the labor fee for helping Fang Siyan with the promotion before.
After receiving the money, she directly transferred it to her mother's account and asked her mother to invite her former colleagues to dinner.
Later that day, Ding Ruola returned home and found the house empty. She picked up her phone and checked the time. Fang Siyan should have gotten off work by this time?
The girl was still a bit worried, so she called Fang Siyan.
It took several attempts before Fang Siyan answered the phone.
There came a burst of ear - piercing music from the other end of the phone. This kind of music was not Fang Siyan's style. Ding Ruola was sure that there were other people around the man.
"Lao Fang! Have you been drinking? I'll come and pick you up!"
Ding Ruola didn't beat around the bush. She hit the nail on the head, as she was sure that Fang Siyan had gone to meet clients today.
"Baby! I'll be back soon. Zhang Jun is here too!"
The man's voice was slurred, as if he had something in his mouth. Presumably, he was eating.
Ding Ruola advised herself not to think too much. She simply gave a few instructions and then hung up the phone.
The girl had already seen on Weibo how Fang Siyan had dealt with the product issue. In fact, this was another form of marketing strategy.
At this time, they just needed to hire a few waves of internet trolls, post some positive and negative reviews, and deliberately stir up some controversy to involve those who didn't understand the matter.
As Ding Ruola was drying her hair, she was thinking about how to further promote other brands of Fangyuan Group. Suddenly, there came a sound from the door.
The girl thought Fang Siyan had come back. She excitedly walked to the door and had already put her hand on the doorknob, but then she had a thought. She peeked through the peephole.
Why was Gu Tingjun here again!
The continuous ringing of the doorbell made Ding Ruola feel uneasy, but this was not the time to communicate with Gu Tingjun.
She just stood there at the door, lying on the peephole and watching Gu Tingjun leave.
The man's departure instantly made Ding Ruola feel relieved. She leisurely walked back to the sofa, tore open a bag of potato chips. Just as she picked up the first chip, there came another sound from the door.
This time, it was different from before. There was no doorbell ringing. Instead, it was the sound of the door lock. Ding Ruola thought it was Gu Tingjun. She was about to find a place to hide.
Just as she was running around, the door swung open.
Fang Siyan was drunk. He was like a boneless animal lying on Zhang Jun's body.
Due to the difference in their heights, Zhang Jun had to stand on tiptoe to make it easier for Fang Siyan to walk.
"Miss Ding, I'll leave the boss in your care!"
As Zhang Jun was speaking, he helped Fang Siyan to the sofa. Ding Ruola took out a bottle of Evian and handed it to Zhang Jun.
Moving the drunk Fang Siyan was quite a physical task. Zhang Jun took the water from Ding Ruola's hand, gave her a few instructions, and then left.
Fang Siyan had drunk a lot that night and might vomit. Zhang Jun specifically told Ding Ruola that when arranging Fang Siyan to sleep, she should let him sleep on his side.
If he just lay flat on his back to sleep, Fang Siyan might choke on his vomit and it could be life - threatening.
Ding Ruola was well aware of this.
After Zhang Jun left, Ding Ruola stood at the door and locked it. When she came back, Fang Siyan was sitting upright on the sofa.
The man's cheeks and the area around his eyes were all red, looking as if he had been crying.
Ding Ruola slowly walked to Fang Siyan's side and wiped the man's hand with the towel in her hand.
Just as she lifted Fang Siyan's hand, he shook it off.
"Get out of here! Stay away from me!"
Ding Ruola stood there with the rag in her hand, looking at the man sitting on the sofa. For a moment, she didn't know what to do next.
"I want Ruoruo!"
The man slumped on the sofa, looking blankly in a certain direction of the room. He slowly raised his hand, as if trying to catch something.
Ding Ruola got closer. She squatted beside the sofa and covered Fang Siyan's face with the towel.
Due to the cool touch of the towel, Fang Siyan soon woke up!
"Ruoruo?"
"Who else could it be but me?"
Fang Siyan suddenly remembered that he had said something he shouldn't have. He rubbed his face, grabbed Ding Ruola's hand, and forced a smile on his face.
"I thought it was that kid Zhang Jun!"
Ding Ruola naturally wouldn't expose Fang Siyan. If he said it was Zhang Jun, then it was Zhang Jun.
The man noticed the change in the girl's eyes. She obviously didn't quite believe him, but he still smiled and reached out to touch Ding Ruola's face.
Because of the alcohol, Fang Siyan's hand was hotter than usual.
"I'm okay now. Go to bed early. Accompany me to a press conference tomorrow!"
After Fang Siyan said this, he completely went still. One arm was placed on his stomach, and the other was hanging beside the sofa.
Even when he was asleep, his eyebrows were still knitted together. His eyelashes cast a shadow less than two millimeters long on his face.
His lips were moist, with a faint pink tint.
The only thing that made Ding Ruola dissatisfied was the smell on Fang Siyan. The strong smell of women's perfume was like the after - taste of sugar - free cola in her mouth when inhaled into her throat.
It was sickly and bitter!
None of the people around Ding Ruola would use this kind of perfume, and Fang Siyan naturally wouldn't use such an aggressive perfume either.
Ding Ruola was sure that Fang Siyan must have met a woman that night.
She was itching to ask, but the man was already asleep. She could only reach out and pinch Fang Siyan's arm a few times.
