Chapter 89: Episode 89: Not Enjoying the Drink, Not Enjoying the Work 3
Li Jiniang was right, Zhou Xueyin had revised the proposal according to Pang Xin’s requirents and sent over a preview version. Soon after, she was called into the company for further discussion.
However, when Zhou Xueyin arrived, she received a barrage of harsh criticism, accusing her of not understanding his ideas and telling her to go back and revise it again. He didn’t specify exactly how he wanted it changed, only saying, “I don’t like it, the colors don’t look refreshing, and it doesn’t focus on what’s important…” and so on.
Alright, this ti I’ll put out 10 proposals for you to pick from!
I don’t believe it, ten proposals and you still can’t pick one?
Zhou Xueyin had Yao Shanshan create a color-sche proposal ranging from dark to light, from high brightness to low brightness, and from high saturation to low saturation, crafting 10 different color sches.
But as for the main introduction of the product, there are only a few approaches. Functionality, portability… and so on.
“Can Flash create an explosive introduction of the product? Like when you hover the mouse over the product, all the parts fly out, and clicking on them gives detailed descriptions?” Zhou Xueyin’s inspiration ca from a filter in Photoshop.
“It might be possible; I’ll give it a try,” Kang Siyin thought the idea was novel. If it could really be done, the effect would surely prevent Pang Xin from finding faults.
However, everyone was thinking too simply…
When Zhou Xueyin confronted Pang Xin again, he did express great interest in this Flash animation, but the colors and fonts were still not to his liking.
“Miss Zhou, are you capable or not? How many tis have you been back and forth now? You could present 100 color sches, and I still wouldn’t pick one! What does a luxurious and elegant color sche look like, do you even know? Look at these colors! Can these colors put together look nice? Are you out of your mind?” Pang Xin was fuming as he pointed at Zhou Xueyin and scolded her.
“Okay, then can you provide a reference for the colors? Send
what you think are luxurious and elegant colors, and I’ll have a look. We can also learn from it!” Zhou Xueyin had already realized that Pang Xin was just being nitpicky and deliberately giving her a hard ti.
“I should find it? I should give you references? Please get this straight! I am paying you to solve my problems, not to add to my troubles, okay? I took half a day out of my schedule to listen to your proposals, do you know how much money that cost ? Huh? Do you?” Pang Xin was aggressive and loud in his tone.
‘You’re paying us to solve problems? Have you paid us? Do you know how much ti I have wasted coming back and forth? How much ti I spent revising the proposal for you? You aren’t even clear on what you want! I suspect you’re just intentionally making things difficult!’
Zhou Xueyin wanted to say this, but she feared that if there was even a slight chance of collaboration, acting impulsively could ruin it all.
So she just nodded her head, “I’ll go back and revise…”
On the way back, the more Zhou Xueyin thought about it, the angrier and more frustrated she beca, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.
Why was she doing this? Instead of wasting ti arguing with this jerk, wouldn’t it be better to focus on expanding her client base and secure this deal that seed almost within reach?
Now look, it had been almost two weeks of revising the proposal, and the contract was still not signed. Not a single word of praise, just constant berating. She was even beginning to doubt her own abilities…
Before Zhou Xueyin returned to the office, she wiped her tears away and sought advice from Li Jiniang, “Now it’s quite clear that Pang Xin is just deliberately causing trouble…”
“Could it be related to this?” Li Jiniang thought for a mont, then took out her phone and showed Zhou Xueyin a text ssage Pang Xin had sent her.
[Would Miss Li honor
by joining
for dinner? I have reserved a table at Maxim’s Restaurant tonight, please co, don’t miss it.]
[I have always kept a guiding light for you in my heart, like a bright star in the night sky, illuminating my dull and dark life.]
[Jini, please allow
to address you so intimately. Are you asleep? I’m suffering from insomnia again. The mont I close my eyes, I imagine your “bao” swaying in front of , but I can’t touch them… Alas…]
[Jini, I’m about to save enough for a down paynt to buy a house in Beijing! Would you like to be the lady of the house?]
There were many more such nauseatingly cheesy harassnt texts, and Zhou Xueyin couldn’t stand the ntal pollution anymore. Just the thought of the person’s appearance could only be described with one phrase: a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh.
“Now I’m thinking of changing my phone number, bombarded with texts every day. Such a headache…” Li Jini massaged her temples, exasperated.
“But the problem is, changing a phone number isn’t that easy… Why doesn’t the carrier provide a service to blacklist certain text ssages? They are so useless…” Last ti Yao Shanshan wanted to change her number because of He Tong’s harassnt, now it’s Li Jini.
“I made it clear to this pig that I have a boyfriend. Look at what he said…” Li Jini pulled up the ssage to show Zhou Xueyin.
[Having a boyfriend doesn’t matter, you’re not married yet, anything is possible.]
[Does he have a car? A house?]
[A Beijing household registration, huh… I’ll be able to apply for one too in a few years, wait for , yo~~]
“How can this person be so clueless? What’s so great about being a regional distributor? Does he think he’s the king of heaven? Forget this deal! I’m rejecting him right now! We haven’t even signed the contract, might as well treat these two weeks as a lesson learned…” After reading the ssages, Zhou Xueyin was even more determined to refuse the order.
“Yeah, fortunately, we didn’t sign the contract, or else we would have had to pay a penalty for canceling midway…” Li Jini also felt lucky.
“Can I just say, I was waiting for you to say that… Although I feel a bit sorry for KK and Shanshan’s efforts, we can use the sa approach for the next plan!” Having made the decision, Zhou Xueyin felt much relieved.
“Hello, Mr. Pang? This is Zhou Xueyin. I wanted to let you know that we are not going to take your order. Yes! We! Are! Not! Doing it!” Zhou Xueyin spoke triumphantly, “And in the future, stop harassing Li Jini, or be careful we will complain to your head office…”
“Hey, you young lady, how can you break your promise? Deciding not to proceed with a halfway-done plan? Do you still want to remain in this industry?” Upon hearing this, Pang Xing wondered if Zhou Xueyin was about to breach a contract?
No, since there was no contract, it wasn’t really a breach, but Zhou Xueyin’s rejection ant he wouldn’t get to see Li Jini, right?
Had he given up on his goal already?
“Miss Zhou, Zhou Xueyin, isn’t it a bit cruel to be so heartless? How about we discuss it again? Actually, your plan is quite good. Just make it a bit more grand and high-end.”
“Grand? High-end? I’m sorry, our targeted clientele are ordinary office-working won!” Zhou Xueyin deliberately emphasized the word “won,” “Your male products… I’m sorry, but our capabilities are limited. Please seek soone more skilled!”
After speaking, Zhou Xueyin decisively hung up the phone.
“Hey! Hello? Hello?” Pang Xing called out several tis, only to realize that Zhou Xueyin had already hung up, “Ugly girl! What, too big for your boots now? You don’t want the job, right? Well, I have a backup docunt of the plan, I’ll just find soone else to do it!”
