Chapter 1062: This Is Not My Fault!

The marketing manager wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. This task was more difficult than asking him to climb up to the sky.         

Not to mention working day and night, even if everyone in the marketing department did not sleep for 24 hours, this task was very difficult to accomplish.     

But Qian Yazhu was a man who kept his promises. His words could not be questioned. The manager could just bite the bullet and agree. "Okay, I will try my best."     

"Not trying your best," Qian Yazhu glanced at him. "You must do it!"     

The marketing manager was so scared that his legs were shaking. He really wanted to throw his employee card and yell at Qian Yazhu, "I will not do it! I quit!"     

But he was already old and it was very difficult for him to find a new job. And he also did not have a temper. Such things could only be thought of in his heart. He did not dare to do it.     

"Okay, President Qian," the marketing manager gritted his teeth and nodded. "I will do it. I will complete this task in a week!"     

While on Qin Shanyuan's side, everything was going smoothly. Qin Yu had finished shooting the commercial and was being interviewed by many reporters. The sports drink had not yet hit the market, but it had already created waves.     

On Qian Yazhu's side, Xiao Shui was quite cooperative and quickly shot the commercial. However, her influence was clearly not as great as Qin Yu's. At the starting line, she had already lost a lot of points.     

In the following wave of publicity, Xiao Shui had to rely on her reputation to fight against Qin Yu in the great battle. Later, the product was finally listed in all major supermarkets in the country.     

In order to fight to the death with Qin Shanyuan, Qian Yazhu ignored everyone's advice and forced his product to be listed on the same day.     

That day, as soon as the supermarket opened, a crowd of people rushed in to buy the sports drink.     

As for Qian Group's drink, it was located right next to the fruit counter, and its location was easier for people to see as soon as they entered the supermarket. Nevertheless, only a few people bought the drink.     

It didn't take long for Qin Group's sports drink to sell out and all the supermarkets in the country ran out of stock.     

Many fans ran to the supermarket to buy the sports drink, and when they saw that it was out of stock, they cried in a grievance.     

"Why is there so little of it? Boss, restock quickly. I've been standing in front of the supermarket since 11 a.m., but there's not a single stock left!"     

"This is the first time I've experienced the feeling of not being able to shop. Boss, please restock quickly!"     

"Oh God... This isn't buying a drink, it's obviously a robbery! I want to ask, were you able to buy this drink? How did you get it?"     

The marketing manager and the factory manager were all in a panic when they saw that the drink was out of stock. They wished they could have another factory to produce the drink.     

On the other hand, on Qian Group's side, the marketing manager felt so worried that he was pulling his hair out. His hair was almost bald from being pulled.     

He looked at Qian Yazhu's face through the glass window. His face was so ugly as if he had eaten shit. The manager did not dare to breathe heavily.     

Qian Yazhu's hand, which was on the table, was clenched into a fist. His gums were almost bleeding from the gritting.     

After a long time, he suddenly banged his fist on the table. "Today's sales performance is very bad. What are you doing? Where is Manager Tong? Tell him to come here quickly!"     

Manager Tong was the marketing manager. He was already standing outside the door with his head down like a child who had done something wrong.     

Manager Tong's legs trembled when he heard Qian Yazhu's roar. He suppressed the fear in his heart and pushed open the office door.     

When Qian Yazhu saw him, he grabbed the calendar on the table and threw it at him.         

Manager Tong dodged it. Seeing that, Qian Yazhu's anger quickly increased.     

"You get such a high salary from Qian Group every month. Are you eating rice for free? You have the courage to appear before me with this small achievement?!"     

Manager Tong lowered his head and said with a sigh, "President Qian, I have told you before that Xiao Shui and Qin Yu's reputations are not on the same level. If we dare to get Qin Yu to endorse our products, we can definitely beat them. And besides..."     

He paused for a moment and his voice became lower. "One month was really too short to launch this product. There were a lot of things we had to do in a hurry. We cannot be compared to someone who has been making this plan for months."     

"You mean this poor performance is because of me?" Qian Yazhu was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He punched the table hard. "Is that what you mean?"     

"No, no!" Manager Tong thought so, but he did not dare admit it. He took forty steps back. He was so humble in front of Qian Yazhu, who was younger than him. "President Qian's decision is always right."     

Qian Yazhu took a deep breath and turned his chair around. He stared at the bookshelf in front of him. He looked very annoyed. "You two must find a reasonable explanation for what happened on the first day of the launch."     

Manager Tong and the factory manager instinctively raised their heads and looked at Qian Yazhu in fear.     

The product had just been launched, but it had failed and hit the ground hard. It was just a small mistake and... it was not their fault at all.      

Qian Yazhu completely avoided taking responsibility. He forced them to take responsibility for it!     

The factory manager clenched his fists tightly and said in as calm a voice as possible, "President Qian, you can deduct my monthly bonus."     

Manager Tong also nodded quickly. "Me too."     

"Bonus?" The corner of Qian Yazhu's mouth curved into a cold smile, and he tilted his head to glance at them.     

Cold and heartless words came out of his thin lips, and they didn't carry any emotion at all. "Is the bonus alone enough? If this company suffers huge losses because of you two, then even deducting one year's bonus from all of you still couldn't solve the hatred in my heart!"     

The factory manager's face turned white and he clenched his fists even tighter.     

Manager Tong also looked at Qian Yazhu nervously. In his heart, he thought, "President Qian wouldn't fire them, would he?"     

As he thought about it, Qian Yazhu opened his mouth. "Don't even think about getting the monthly bonus and the year-end bonus for three years! Go back to your desk and reflect on it!"     

Deducted monthly bonus and year-end bonus for three years?     

They could tolerate the monthly bonus, but the year-end bonus was too much!     

They all belonged to the middle and upper management of the company. Sometimes, when they did good business, the year-end bonus was higher than their annual salary.     

They had worked hard. If the year-end bonus was deducted, then what were they working so hard for?     

Asking them to depend on a monthly salary of only twenty to thirty thousand yuan?     

The factory manager finally couldn't take it anymore. His voice suddenly rose. It sounded like a plea, but it was more like a threat. "President Qian, you can deduct the monthly bonus, but not the year-end bonus! I've been with the Qian Group for twelve years. When your father was around, I never made any mistakes, and I'm not responsible for this mistake! You can't do this to me!"
