Chapter 234: Chapter 234: Three Heads Are Better Than One

Jiang Fan’s sudden outburst made the entire planning department fall dead silent.

He had always been so amiable and cheerful before. No one was used to this sudden change; in fact, they were even a little scared.

It was only then that they remembered he was the manager of the planning department.

The head of the planning department!

The entire department was suddenly plunged into a long silence. Jiang Fan sneered. "Go on, talk. Weren’t you all so chatty just now? Why so quiet all of a sudden?"

"Before I got here, you weren’t just talking—you looked like you were about to start a brawl. What about now? All deflated?"

"President Jiang, please calm down. I’ll go make you a cup of coffee."

A long time passed before anyone dared to speak.

"I don’t want coffee. I want all of you to get to work right now and start thinking of ideas."

"I need an angle—a starting point for this whole proposal."

After he finished speaking, Jiang Fan sat down at his desk, his face hidden behind his computer monitor.

Just as he sat down, Jiang Fan suddenly received a message from Li Muwan.

"When are you getting off work? Come home for dinner when you’re done."

"My dad had someone bring something over for you. He specifically told me to give it to you myself."

"Huh?"

Jiang Fan paused. ’Li Jiaxiang actually sent something for me?’

"The planning department is really busy right now, so I’m not sure when I’ll be able to leave. You should go ahead and eat without me."

Jiang Fan had to admit that he got along quite well with Li Jiaxiang, who seemed to be rather satisfied with him as a future son-in-law.

After replying to Li Muwan’s message, Jiang Fan started to open the various proposal materials and frameworks they had submitted.

He had been busy with other things all day and hadn’t had time to look at them. It was only after he started plugging their data into the proposal’s framework that he realized Li Muwan had been right—this group was full of elites.

The materials they provided were concise and got straight to the point.

But as Jiang Fan looked over the proposal, he shook his head. It was too conventional. No, it was just plain ordinary.

This would have been fine for a minor holiday, but National Day was a major event. It was a time when every company was fighting for a massive surge in sales.

Using such an ordinary plan, especially without a strong angle... they wouldn’t stand a chance against Fengming Group.

Not even the slightest chance.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan fell into deep thought.

’I have to find a solution. Time for a risky gambit?’

All sorts of ideas erupted in his mind.

He was so lost in thought that he didn’t notice someone calling his name several times. Finally, she had to give him a firm push to get his attention.

"Oh, sorry. What is it?"

Jiang Fan looked at them, completely bewildered.

"It’s nothing, really... it’s just that we’ve come up with a few ideas."

"We wanted to see what you think."

"Alright. I’m listening."

He got up from his chair and came around to the front of the desk, perching on the edge.

"What if we hosted a large-scale runway show? Do you think that would be better?"

"It would be much more useful than some celebrity endorsements."

"Big-name stars are too expensive, not worth the cost, and small-time stars don’t have enough influence."

"Oh, and we could also start building hype online ahead of time. We could find some streamers, big and small, to promote our products."

"We could give this job to that new female streamer the company just signed... what was her name? Rong Anyao, I think. Might as well keep the money in the family, right? Let her earn it."

"And we could do promotions at the physical stores, too. Those girls you hired before all have amazing figures and are so beautiful."

"We could have the managers at each store handle it."

"We should learn from what works, right?"

...

The women started chattering excitedly, one idea sparking another. They bounced concepts back and forth, critiquing and building upon each other’s suggestions.

It was as if their earlier conflict had completely vanished.

Jiang Fan watched them with an unreadable smile.

"These are all good ideas, but sometimes the ones you come up with on your own are too narrow."

"We’re a team. You can discuss things. There’s no need to fight."

"Do you all understand what I mean?"

Jiang Fan’s fingers tapped a steady rhythm on the desk.

"Um, about that matter, I was wrong..."

A young woman stood up, but Jiang Fan cut her off with a wave of his hand before she could finish.

"That’s your personal business. Apologies, making amends—that’s all for you to handle on your own time. Right now, it’s work time."

"I want all of you to submit these good ideas to me in writing by tomorrow. Can you do that?"

"Any questions?"

Jiang Fan clapped his hands and asked with a smile.

"No problem, but... Manager, can we not work overtime today!!"
