Chapter 499 - "What happened? Sales had been affected? Do we need to have them removed right away?" (3)
[She is going to complete the web exhibition in the tourism sector. Hahaha. All of you will be able to see the boss lady’s handywork by next week at the very latest.]
[Here goes: Link to the 5-diamond, 2-week trip to the 7 largest water towns (the most luxurious offering of our company, cost 99,999 yuan)……]
All employees in all departments in the headquarter and subsidiaries were stunned speechless.
[The boss lady has background in art?]
[Wait. Something is not adding up. This parvenue style itinerary. Two weeks of water towns? Even a northern would start to vomit.]
[Is this the newest route? Just for the boss lady? @Third in Tourism. Please comment.]
Those from the Tourism Department all disappeared at the same time.
Followed shortly by everyone from the Art Department.
Inside the office of the Art Department at the headquarter, Ivy looked around all of the desks, walked over to the middle of them and cleared her throat.
“Don’t talk about things that are not work-related during office hours and don’t leak content of our work to those outside of our department.”
She returned to her seat after making sure that everybody had heard her.
That was right. She had received instructions from the CEO office for her to complete a water painting exhibit on the attractions with the boss lady.
After consulting the boss in the domestic excursion, she picked the trip that nobody had ever signed up for and purely for the purpose of it being there. Its pricing was so high that one could take a luxurious trip to Europe for the same cost.
This particular route, per the feedback from those on the excursion team, was just there for the purpose of testing new features of the website. They weren’t expecting any sign ups.
It was perfect for the boss lady to kill time with.
Even though the CEO office had hinted at it that the boss lady’s work was well sought after on the market and could fetch very high price, Ivy, as someone who also had background in art, knew very well that these so-called high prices were all backed by capitalists.
With the right kind of backing, anyone can have art exhibitions, enter into auctions, and can also “self-produce and self-consume” and create miraculous prices.
For webpage display facing consumers, there need to be photos of the sceneries that had been edited carefully. Ink paintings were also worthless in this situation.
No rational consumers would decide to take a trip because the paintings on the webpage was pretty.
Ivy, being able to become an upper management, her emotional quotient soft skill was up there.
After some thoughts, she came to the conclusion that all she needed to do with to appease the boss lady by giving her something to do.
Having figured that out, she quickly sent over the link to the page to ‘Shishi’, a newly registered Lync account. Her words were sincere and natural.
[Hi, Shishi, I am Ivy. We are planning to give this ‘5-diamond, super luxurious Jiangnan water town trip’ a special promotion. It will be great if you can help me with it.]
[We have no special request and our plan is to have it done by the end of the month.]
It was still the 1st; that was 30 whole days to the end of the month.
That should be enough time for one ink painting, right?
Ivy gave it some thought and sent the message over. Sure enough, she received a response quickly.
[Yes, sure. I’ll send it over to you when I am done. Thanks so much!]
The boss lady seemed to be in a good mood and also seemed to be a very easygoing person.
Ivy let out a sigh of relief.
She looked for one of the team members to help with the arrangement of said webpage and also to purchase the copyrights to some ink paintings.
If, for any reason, the boss lady was unable to complete her tasks, there would still be a backup plan for the boss lady.
As Ivy thought about it, she confidently turned her attention somewhere else and began her day’s work.
