Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 513 - 514: Perfume blending, she’s competent? Let’s go complain
Manager Ma and Manager Wang looked at each other. She left, just like that? No punishment or retaliation, that was it? It was truly surprising.
Relieved, Manager Ma turned to Manager Wang, "You’ve seen the situation too. This young girl can make us live or die with one sentence... We need to unite now!"
Manager Wang, feeling the same way, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Manager Ma, "Well, what’s your suggestion? We need some sort of plan."
Manager Ma leaned closer, "Didn’t you hear what she said? If we have any difficulties, we should come to her. Old Wang, think about it carefully, what do you think our biggest difficulty is right now?"
Manager Wang just looked at him.
Manager Ma gave a cunning smile, "Isn’t it your development department? The perfume series developed by Gu’s in the past two months was very popular, and our Cloud He Group lacks a new star product. Old Wang, you see..."
His voice lowered, "We should talk to this energetic Little Gu, say we lack technical talent in the development area, and ask for her help. If she can’t solve it, no matter how dedicated we are, we still can’t compete with others, right?"
Manager Wang looked at him suspiciously, "Old Ma, what are you thinking? Are you trying to confront Little Gu?"
Manager Ma was not pleased, "What are you talking about, Old Wang? Think about it, are you happy that a girl who doesn’t understand anything is bossing us around all day? If we pull this off, the Bo Family will definitely make other arrangements."
Saying this, he looked upward, tears welling in his eyes, "Remember when Vice President Bo was leading us, the whole team was so united. Unlike now... we even have to do rotating duties!"
Manager Wang was also emotional for a moment. After considering for a long time, he made up his mind, "Alright, let’s do it! Let’s pull it off!"
Manager Ma shook his hand, "Good brother."
Then, it was Manager Wang’s turn to approach Gu Anxi. He explained that the development department lacked technical staff, making it difficult to develop products, and so on. He went on and on, sounding like an old woman complaining.
Gu Anxi looked at him and gave a faint smile, "Alright, I’ll go take a look tomorrow."
Manager Wang whispered, "Our development department has a sufficient budget for salaries. We are all hoping that Little Gu can recruit top experts for us."
He added, "Gu’s perfume sold out this season, and the sales were brilliant."
"Alright, I get it." Gu Anxi took out her phone. "You can go now." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Before Manager Wang left, he clearly saw that Little Gu was playing a game again. His son also liked this game and was good at it.
Their Little Gu, always playing games while supposedly working.
Manager Wang had some reservations, and upon returning, he discussed them and complained to Old Ma.
Manager Ma felt like he had found a kindred spirit. "You see? You see? I told you!"
After that, he got especially excited, "Actually, we don’t have any ill intentions towards her. We just thought that she might be suffering coming to work every day, right?"
Manager Wang sighed, "Old brother, you’re right this time."
The two talked for a while longer...
「Meanwhile...」
After Gu Anxi finished her game, she called Secretary Tang, "Bring me the recent R&D data from the development department, and also all the new products developed by Gu’s this year."
Secretary Tang nodded, "Okay, Ms. Gu."
She quickly went to the development department and explained her purpose to Manager Ma and Manager Wang.
Manager Ma glanced at Manager Wang. Can she even understand it? That little slip of a girl.
Manager Wang smiled gently. He quickly took out some documents to give to Secretary Tang, and also provided one sample of each of Gu’s products.
Secretary Tang returned to the top floor and handed the information to Gu Anxi. Gu Anxi spent half an hour reviewing the data and then the entire afternoon in the lab.
The Cloud He Group’s laboratories were also divided into several levels. There were labs for ordinary researchers, and also some, typically more confidential, for high-level technical personnel or management.
When Gu Anxi was in there, Manager Ma and Manager Wang also received the news.
Manager Wang was shocked. "Didn’t we ask her to hire technical personnel? Could it be that Little Gu is too stingy to spend the money and is trying to solve the problem herself?"
He slapped his thigh, "Perfume isn’t just some pure chemistry stuff! It’s complicated. You can’t just whip up a fragrance if you’re a layman."
Manager Ma was also bewildered, "Does she really think she can handle it?"
He shook his head and sighed, "I guess she won’t last two months!"
Then he looked at Manager Wang. "Brother, her messing around like this isn’t good. This kid has been playing house here for two months; it’s about enough. We should go talk to Mr. Bo Nianyao about this."
Manager Wang hesitated, "Won’t that be... too much?"
Manager Ma patiently persuaded, "Can you bear to see the Cloud He Group ruined by a willful little girl? Kids like her should go back to school to study and learn some real skills."
After this persuasion, Manager Wang was swayed and they agreed on a time to meet.
At five in the afternoon, Gu Anxi came out of the lab with two small bottles in her pocket.
Back in her office, she thought carefully for a moment and revised a set of data.
Just then, Secretary Tang came in, "Ms. Gu."
Her gaze was then drawn to the two perfume bottles on the desk. "What’s this?"
Gu Anxi said, "Oh," her gaze falling on them. "This one’s for you. Smell it, see if you like it."
Secretary Tang took a bottle, opened it, and sniffed. She was pleasantly surprised. "This scent is so sophisticated!"
She quite liked it and casually asked, "Which brand’s new product is this? I don’t think I’ve seen it on the market."
Gu Anxi said softly, "It was just made this afternoon. I’m thinking of it as the Cloud He Group’s limited summer edition. Later, in addition to the perfume, we’ll slowly release essential oils and body lotion as part of the same series."
Secretary Tang was left speechless.
Gu Anxi then said softly, "Notify the development technical staff to have a meeting."
Secretary Tang nodded, "Alright."
She raised the perfume bottle in her hand, "Thank you, Ms. Gu."
Gu Anxi smiled, "This isn’t the final version yet, so the one you have is unique."
Secretary Tang was delighted. She went to notify everyone about the meeting, careful not to reveal any confidential details.
As for Manager Ma and Manager Wang, they were still planning to complain to Bo Nianyao the next day, so they didn’t take this news seriously. They thought the little girl was finally showing some ambition—no, not ambition, just scheming to make others do her bidding again!
「Later that day...」
After Gu Anxi finished her work, she received a call from King Jingyao. "There’s still an hour before the press conference. Have you set off yet?"
Gu Anxi turned off her computer. "I’m leaving right now."
King Jingyao was speechless for a moment. "Drive slowly."
