chapter 42 : If you can, call the police.

Penelope in the room didn't respond to me. Maybe she was really angry at what I just said and done. I knocked on the door again and said, "Then if I don't enter your room, I will throw the cleaned cockroaches in for you to examine." This proves that I have really done something good for you and I have never been perfunctory with you." Penelope said to me nervously: "No need to test, just take it away quickly." "Oh." I responded, raised my hand and threw the cigarette butts and a half-dead cockroach wrapped in toilet paper out of the window. I said to Penelope again: "The bathroom can be used now. I guarantee there won't be a single cockroach in it." "Oh, then go back and rest quickly." "It's hard to get a taxi this late." Penelope finally walked out of the room again. Her slightly curly long hair had been tied up, and she changed into a thicker houndstooth pattern woolen coat. She held the car key in her hand and said to me: "Then I’ll take you back.” I stood motionless, of course to hold on and not leave, because I had promised Lily not to go back to Hayden place tonight. Penelope, who had already reached the door, turned around and asked, "Why don't you leave?" I sighed and said helplessly, "I can't stay with my friend today." "what happened" "Oh, he brought a woman back to spend the night." I lowered my voice, my tone full of sadness with nowhere to go. "It's been a week and you still haven't found a place to live?" "I've been busy during this period. I've only been to Hengdian twice. I don't have time to look for a house. Besides, it's not that easy to find a comfortable house." I said and looked around the room again, full of nostalgia. "Then you go and stay in a hotel." "No, it's too expensive to stay in a hotel. I have to save money to pay off the debt I owe you." I said, sitting down on the sofa, then lying down, and directly made it clear to Penelope through actions that I would stay here tonight. Penelope walked back to me, frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" "That's what I mean by staying here tonight." After I finished speaking, I responded to Penelope with a smile. Penelope said to me patiently for a while: "Don't make me think you are a rogue, okay?" "I've always been a scoundrel. Besides, I spent more than 20 on a taxi today just to help you. I didn't even ask you about the money. Why did you let me stay here for one night?" "I'll just pay you your taxi fare, and I'll book the hotel for you. That's okay, right?" I turned over and stood up from the sofa, almost face to face with Penelope, and said angrily: "You know, I can't stand your attitude of being able to do anything with money. Do you think I am?" Are you short of money? Let me tell you, I won’t leave here tonight. If you can, call the police. Just say that I broke into a house and you are a tenant. Do you have the nerve to call the police and say that I, the landlord, broke into a house? Of course you are embarrassed. Because you used your dirty money to occupy the house where I have lived for more than two years, and you are the one who is at fault." I was talking nonsense, but Penelope blocked everything she could say, and just glared at me. I lay down on the sofa again, pretending to be determined not to leave. Penelope had nothing to do with me. She, who was always calm, stomped her feet in anger, and then walked towards the door with her handbag in hand. "Where are you going?" I asked, turning my head. "I'm going to walk." "Let's go and don't come back." After Penelope left, I sneaked into Penelope's house, found a set of unused bedding from the cabinet, moved it to the room where I originally lived, made the bed, and settled in with peace of mind. I wish Penelope would not come back, but I have forgotten how I put on a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude to help Mi Cai when I moved away from here. The next day, I didn't get up until eight o'clock. I didn't have time to buy toiletries, so I used Penelope's directly. After having a quick breakfast at the familiar snack bar downstairs, I hurriedly boarded the bus to the company. After arriving at the company and attending the routine morning meeting, the manager Kyle left me alone again. I knew he was concerned about the full marketing plan that I was responsible for this time. Kyle asked me: "How is it? Do you have the idea for this comprehensive marketing plan?" I nodded and said, "Well, this time I plan to focus on realizing customer value as the core of the plan. This is to strengthen our brand image. I think that only by realizing customer value first can customers better realize corporate value for us." .” "Your idea is correct. Our Boli Department Store has been operating for many years and has become very mature in terms of 4 products, prices, channels, and promotions. Now that we have officially entered the ranks of top department stores, what we urgently need to do is to improve our image and make it better. Realizing customer value is the best way to enhance corporate image. Your marketing ideas are in line with the current strategic needs of our department store." I nodded in response. Having worked at Boli Department Store for more than two years, I certainly have my own understanding of the strategic environment in which the company operates. Kyle added: "I will transfer one person from each of the graphic design team, engineering team, and display design team to join this project team to help you complete this marketing plan. What are your requirements for candidates? Communicate with me anytime.” "OK." "By the way, I got the news that our biggest competitor: Zhuomei Shopping Center will hold a large-scale promotion event for our Boli Department Store in the near future. Their purpose of doing this is to overdraft consumers' consumption needs in the short term. The purpose is to suppress us in stages." It doesn’t surprise me that Zhuomei Shopping Center has a large-scale promotional activity at this time. This is entirely a strategic need. Our Boli Department Store and Zhumei Shopping Center are in the same business district and both focus on the high-end market. The conflict of interest is already very fierce. And i's opening of counters in our company puts us in a parallel position with them in a real sense. They feel threatened and naturally want to suppress it strongly. However, although our Boli Department Store has reached the standard of a top department store, it still has the same relationship with Zhuomei. There are some gaps. Currently, there are 11 international first-line brands operating in Zhuomei counters, which is slightly more than us. I asked Kyle: "So our planning department will also have a corresponding promotion plan in the near future?" "Yes, and as soon as possible. Our promotional activities must be done before them to destroy Zhuomei's strategic intentions. Although the time is very tight, we must ensure the effectiveness of the activities. This is a test of the mobility and execution capabilities of our planning department. , you can only succeed and not fail." After a pause, Kyle added, "Because this promotion plan is of great significance, I have asked Wesley to end her wedding leave early and report back to the company tomorrow, so you can complete this promotion together. Project case.” I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. If Wesley didn't come back, I really wouldn't be able to handle such an important case by myself, but this also shows from the side how important this promotion plan is to the strategic significance of our department store. Otherwise, Kyle will not end Wesley's marriage leave early. Kyle took out another document from the drawer and handed it to me, saying: "This is the latest personnel file of Zhuomei Shopping Center that the Public Relations Department has just obtained. Their company's senior management has undergone major changes some time ago. Do you want to use this personnel file?" Take it back and take a look, especially the personnel composition of their planning department, so that you know yourself and your enemy." I flipped through the personnel file I received from Kyle. As soon as I saw the first page, I was shocked because the newly appointed CEO of Zhuomei Shopping Center was a person I knew very well. :
