Chapter 36: No one is seen, but the peaks are green

In the general manager's office of Zhichu brand women's clothing, sunlight shines brightly through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows.

Wen Baijing is checking the overall sales data. It shows a year-on-year growth of 10% and a month-on-month decrease of 5%. The decline in data in South China is particularly obvious...

Wen Baijing frowned slightly, he raised his hand to close the folder, a seemingly casual action that revealed a bit of fatigue and helplessness.

He half-lay on his office chair, raised his slender fingers and gently pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Boom boom boom!"

Lu Yu restrained his smile, looked a little serious, and pushed the door open.

Wen Baijing sat up, his dark eyes like deep pools of water, and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"

Lu Yu pulled out a chair and sat down. "Now many brands have started to sell online. Zhichu needs to keep up with the situation. Multiple channels are very important to us. Goods returned by agents and unsalable goods can be sold online to recover and realize cash."

Wen Baijing nodded thoughtfully and motioned Lu Yu to continue.

"In the past, we had a backlog of old products, and most of them were sold cheaply to dealers who collected inventory after cutting off the labels. Now that we have started to do business online, we sell the current season products in the flagship store and put the old models in the online discount store. This will not infringe on the interests of the agents and will also allow us to clear our inventory."

Wen Baijing thought for a moment, "You are fully responsible for this matter. Prepare as soon as possible and let all departments cooperate fully." He took out a lighter and played with it. "Now that the activity plan for the physical store is in the off-season, it should be implemented as soon as possible."

Wen Baijing lowered his head and lit a cigarette. He slowly exhaled smoke rings, and the white smoke spread out, covering up his emotions.

Lu Yu's eyes widened, "Didn't you quit smoking? Why did you suddenly start smoking again?"

Wen Baijing lay in a chair, holding a cigarette between his fingers. He closed his eyes, inhaled the cigarette into his lungs, and was reluctant to exhale.

"Well, probably loneliness."

"I thought you were going to give up sex and become a monk!" Lu Yu couldn't help but laugh. "Speaking of women, I can think of one."

Wen Baijing remained silent, his eyes fixed on the scarlet spot between his fingers.

"When I was inspecting the stores a few days ago, I saw a new beauty at the Wuyue store. She was the type you like, very pure." Lu Yu laughed dryly.

"Is it the store where the fight between the staff went to the police station?" Wen Baijing twisted the cigarette butt lightly, "The staff should be trained."

All brands train their employees during the off-season, which allows employees to become familiar with clothing knowledge and better serve customers; it also provides employees with something to do, as trouble is more likely to arise without anything to do.

Lu Yu nodded, "Yeah."

He was obviously talking about women, but it ended up talking about work. Lu Yu was used to his boss's way of thinking and was not surprised.

"Will you accompany me downstairs for a cup of coffee?" Wen Baijing stood up and walked towards the door.

How could Lu Yu dare to disobey his boss's order? He strode after him.

Sitting in an elegant coffee shop, the sunlight creates patches of mottled light and shadows, the air is filled with the fragrance of coffee, and the background music is soft and soothing.

Wen Baijing picked up the coffee and took a sip. The rich bitter taste filled his mouth and flowed through his internal organs along his throat.

Lu Yu asked: "What's wrong recently? I can't understand you more and more..."

Wen Baijing slowly exhaled the bitter breath, as if he wanted to expel the bitterness in his heart.

It's a bit hard to express how upset I am about a nightclub waitress. After all, there are huge differences in this world.

Ye Zhenzhen doesn't love money but works in a nightclub for money. She said she loves money, but when a mountain of gold was in front of her, she dropped her hoe and ran away.

Wen Baijing couldn't help but sneer: "Is there really a woman who doesn't love money?"

Lu Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, shrugged helplessly, and spread his palms upward, "I don't know." He added: "Who doesn't love your money? Let me see it."

The coffee cup trembled slightly in his hand, and he tried his best to suppress his emotions and stay calm. He took a sip of coffee, and the bitterness immediately seeped into the root of his tongue, making him frown.

“Really…”

The crust of his heart was colliding with each other, as if it would be squeezed out of his chest in the next second. He turned his head sharply, searching in the direction of the sound.

After a moment, my heart sank again.

In the evening, a large area of ​​orange and yellow sky covered the Phoenix Lake, wild boats landed on the spring grass, and egrets flew towards the sunset with the waves.

The sky is bright and the clouds are shining, the lake is beautiful and the mountains are beautiful. The pond is full of water chestnuts and water lilies, and the waves are like Xiaoxiang.

"Sister, it's so beautiful here!" Wang You couldn't help but exclaim.

Today Ye Zhenzhen is on the early shift, Ye Mao and Wang You are on break, and the three of them agreed to hang out here.

The air is gentle and peaceful, a characteristic of the south of the Yangtze River. The mountains are dark blue, the water is blue, and the willows and lotus flowers are mixed in with the wind.

From the calligraphy and painting gallery, head south, walk along the winding trail, and climb the white nine-hole stone bridge. You will arrive at the Lotus Wind and Moon Pond, where you will see a large area of ​​green lotuses that meet the sky and reflect the sun.

Sitting under the small stone pavilion, the wind rolls the lotus leaves and the fragrance of flowers. The freshness fills my sleeves and the fragrance of flowers hits my elbows.

Ye Mao stroked Wang You's head and chatted casually, "Sister, have you offended anyone?"

"No! What's wrong?"

Ye Zhenzhen lay on the railing, immersed in the sight of the wind blowing the lotus leaves and the water lilies filling the pond.

Ye Mao did not continue talking, but changed the subject and asked with concern: "Is work at the mall going well?"

Ye Zhenzhen turned her head to look at her brother. Ye Mao was not a careful person. He was a careless and silly boy who kept asking strange questions recently.

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "Not bad."

The three of them stopped talking. Everywhere they looked, they saw beautiful scenery. They had no time to chat, but they also could not waste the gift of nature.

The invisible needle began to pierce the heart again. The needle with the lead wire pierced through the heart, and the wire passed through the atrium, back and forth over and over again, without stopping for a moment.

Ye Zhenzhen held her heart tightly, the needle just wouldn't let her go.

The night is coming, and the moonlight illuminates the human figures.

"Let's go a little further!" Ye Zhenzhen suggested.

There are people strolling around everywhere, and the scene of a family of three holding hands hurts the hearts of single people for no reason.

In the sycamore forest, the lush and verdant leaves cover up the dimness.

The phoenix tree is growing, facing the morning sun.

"Sister, when will you get a boyfriend?" Wang You asked with his head tilted.

Ye Zhenzhen tucked her hair behind her ears and said, "I don't really want to have a boyfriend."

Ye Mao and Wang You were swaying arm in arm, their shadows cast on the ground.

Ye Mao shouted with full energy: "Ye Zhenzhen! Do you want to be a nun?"

"Ye Mao, if you have the guts, don't run!"

Ye Mao angered his sister and knew he would be beaten. He ran away holding his head, looking back to provoke from time to time and making faces.

Ye Zhenzhen didn't care about her image for a moment, her long hair flew behind her ears, she took a step and tried her best to chase Ye Mao. This kid is getting more and more unreasonable as he grows older! He was not beaten enough when he was young!

A crisp scent of pine and cypress wafts into my nose, barely perceptible.

Ye Zhenzhen was stunned for a few seconds, and inertia made her run several meters before she stopped.

Her heart began to ache again, and she turned back to look for the scent of pine and cypress trees. In front of her were the overlapping shadows of sycamore leaves and the bustling crowds of people around.

"Sister, come and chase me!" Ye Mao shouted not far away.

That smell must be an illusion.

She turned around and ran in the direction of her brother.

Wen Baijing finished a 10-kilometer run nearby and took the opportunity to take a walk around Phoenix Lake.

A few minutes ago, someone called out "Zhenzhen" again. There are so many people with the same name. He smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Walking in the sycamore forest, I always think of that night. The sycamore trees look different from last night.

Not far away was the Lotus Pond, and Wen Baijing quickened his pace and rushed towards the pond.

The phoenix is ​​singing on that high hill.
