The person who was working with An YanKun was, of course, Tong Zhitong.
Tong Zhitong naturally didn't want An Nuan to have it easy.
She had made some inquiries.
An Nuan was very ambitious about her career. She had suddenly transformed from an originally desireless woman into one brimming with vigor and becoming powerful and formidable, creating miracles in a short period of time indeed.
But so what...
The more An Nuan wanted something, the more Tong Zhitong wanted to make sure she didn't get it!
After deciding on how to deal with An Nuan, the first thing Tong Zhitong did was to find helpers.
She was very clear that having helpers for any undertaking would truly double the results.
At least currently she didn't understand exactly what An Nuan was doing, but if someone could help her know An Nuan's every move, she wouldn't need to waste time figuring it out. She could spend more time thinking about how to deal with An Nuan.
So she found An YanKun, who had always wanted to deal with An Nuan's family.
Actually, the first person she thought of was Gu Yan Sheng.
She knew clearly that the current Gu Yan Sheng harbored deep hatred against An Nuan. The enemy of one's enemy is a friend. Choosing to cooperate with Gu Yan Sheng would surely be a natural fit. But due to Ye Jinghuai’s relationship, she still chose to give up on Gu Yan Sheng. After all, Gu Yan Sheng and Ye Jinghuai were archenemies, and she didn’t want to touch Ye Jinghuai’s moldy head for now.
Besides, with An YanKun working at An's Group, he would be better able to understand An Nuan's every move. Choosing to cooperate with him was harmless in every way.
What surprised her was that when she took the initiative to find An YanKun, he agreed in one go.
No hesitation, no suspicion, no in-depth investigation of her identity, no precautions whatsoever. With just her brief words, An YanKun agreed.
In fact, it didn't explain much.
It just showed that An YanKun really hated An Nuan indeed, wishing she would be killed immediately.
At worst there was also the possibility that An Nuan was quite formidable, so formidable that An YanKun also needed a helper to deal with her together.
In Tong Zhitong’s opinion, dealing with An Nuan was not difficult at all.
Whatever An Nuan wanted to develop, Tong Zhitong just needed to stop her from developing it.
Especially after hearing from An YanKun that An Nuan had boasted about achieving in 3 months to half a year goals that were impossible for ordinary people. She felt even more strongly that killing An Nuan would be a piece of cake.
She spent half a day and already knew what to do.
She wanted to develop Guangming Building right?!
Tong Zhitong then publicly announced that she would also build a commercial complex. Whether she would really build it was a matter for later. For now, once the news was announced and publicized, making people mistakenly believe she really would build, merchants would definitely not choose to open in Guangming Building during this period. Delaying things 3 months to half a year to drag An Nuan to death would work.
Apparently, An YanKun also highly agreed with Tong Zhitong’s scheme.
This way, An Nuan's wish to recruit merchants and revitalize Guangming Building would really become a pipe dream.
With his authority in An’s Group, he could also appropriately obstruct her work progress, making her encounter setbacks at every turn...
It would already be impressive if An Nuan did not take the initiative to leave An's Group!
...
An Nuan walked into the office of Yan Guogang, the General Manager of Advertising and Media.
Yan Guogang was still polite to An Nuan on the surface.
He quickly welcomed her enthusiastically, "Ms. An, what an honor to have you visit. You're most welcome."
"You're too kind," An Nuan smiled and went straight to the point. "I came to find Manager Yan mainly because I wanted to ask why our application for advertising resources was rejected."
"Didn't I already tell Supervisor Du the reason?" Yan Guogang glanced at Du Juan, then said, "Let me explain it to Ms. An directly since you’re here.”
"No need to explain. Du Juan has already told me. I don't really accept your opinion," An Nuan replied.
"Ms. An, it's not that I'm deliberately making things difficult for you. It's just that advertising now really won't have much effect. With Xingyao Group having announced their commercial complex construction, merchants will definitely not choose us. Our ads would just be wasted cost," Yan Guogang said, looking very upright. "I'm thinking about the company's interests too. I really don't want the company to suffer unnecessary losses."
"What loss are you talking about?" An Nuan's eyes narrowed. "Giving publicity to our mall, how is that a loss? No actual value brought about means loss?! Manager Yan, I'm afraid that's not how advertising losses are calculated. The most important aspect of publicity is the communication effect. What can actually bring real sales volume, that's another marketing expenditure that has yet to count into your advertising costs."
Yan Guogang was left momentarily speechless by An Nuan's words.
He didn't expect that An Nuan would understand so much.
He thought she was just a new graduate who could be fooled with a few words, but she had seen right through him so incisively.
"The main reason I want to publicize is that in addition to recruitment, the most important thing is to create a communication effect. Our competitor Xingyao is currently heavily promoting their commercial complex. If we choose to be indifferent observers at this time, do you know what the consequences will be?" An Nuan asked him. "The consequence is that everyone will know Xingyao is developing a commercial complex while our Guangming Building is just a waste of space. Can you bear such an outcome?!"
Yan Guogang's face turned green from An Nuan's berating.
Yet he could not find the words to refute her.
After all, An Nuan was completely reasonable.
"Moreover, Manager Yan, have you forgotten that the Advertising and Media Department is a support department, not a functional department? I don't know when it started becoming that the sales department, as the planning and execution department, has to apply for advertising and publicity when needed! In terms of division of responsibilities, the Advertising and Media department should be proactively assisting the Sales department in publicity support work, even taking the initiative to submit publicity proposals to help the Sales department carry out better market planning and marketing campaigns, instead of you guys reviewing the requirements from the Sales department. Please don't forget your department's positioning, Manager Yan!" An Nuan's eyes turned cold.
Yan Guogang was really so shamed by An Nuan that he was at a complete loss.
Yet he still could not find the words to retort.
After all, An Nuan was completely right.
"I hope Manager Yan can give me a Guangming Building publicity proposal today." With that parting statement, An Nuan left.
Her domineering aura left Du Juan dumbfounded the entire time.
