Chapter 920 Reflection
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when I got home. Today was New Year's Eve. Ying Annie had been waiting for Sun Yaoliang at home because the family was going to have a reunion dinner together on New Year's Eve.
When Sun Yaoliang arrived home, Ying Annie heard the door open and quickly got up. Seeing Sun Yaoliang coming back, she quickly helped him take off his coat.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"I didn't wait long. I was watching TV and waiting for you. Time passed quickly." Ying Annie said to her husband with a smile.
"Where is the child?" Sun Yaoliang looked around the living room but didn't see the child.
"The child got hungry early, so I let him eat something. Now the nanny is going to sleep with him." Ying Annie pointed to the room.
Sun Yaoliang nodded. Their child was still young, less than two years old. Such a young child would easily get sleepy and could not get hungry, so there was no need for them to have the New Year’s Eve dinner together.
"Happy holidays, dear!" Suddenly, Sun Yaoliang produced a bouquet of roses in his hand like a magic trick.
Ying Annie's face was filled with joy when she saw the flowers. She never thought that her husband actually remembered that today was Western Valentine's Day and specially prepared flowers for her.
You know, today is New Year's Eve, and Sun Yaoliang has been very busy with the company's promotional activities these days and comes home very late every day. Getting home at 8 o'clock today is considered early. Ying Annie originally thought that having New Year's Eve dinner together was a very happy thing, but who would have thought that Sun Yaoliang would give her such a surprise.
Ying Annie took the rose, put it in front of her nose and took a deep breath. The refreshing fragrance made the smile on Ying Annie's face as beautiful as the rose.
"I like it so much, thank you, husband..." Ying Annie stood on tiptoe and kissed Sun Yaoliang on the cheek. Sun Yaoliang smiled and hugged her soft waist. Looking at his wife with a bright smile, all his previous fatigue disappeared.
The two of them were affectionate for a while before Ying Annie remembered that she hadn't eaten yet, so she quickly let go of her arms that were hugging Sun Yaoliang.
"I'll put the flowers in there, you go wash your hands, we'll have the New Year's Eve dinner."
Sun Yaoliang responded and went to the side to wash his hands. When he came back, Ying Annie had already put the flowers in the vase and a sumptuous meal was ready on the table.
"Have a drink?"
“Have a drink!”
Ying Anni opened a bottle of wine and poured a glass for Sun Yaoliang. When Sun Yaoliang saw her about to screw the bottle cap on, he smiled and pointed at her.
Ying Annie understood and poured herself another glass, then put the bottle aside. At this time, Sun Yaoliang raised his glass and said to his wife: "Annie, you have worked hard all these years. Today is New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day. Come on! Let's have a drink and wish you a happy new year and a happy Valentine's Day!"
"Well, our whole family is happy, cheers!" Ying Annie clinked glasses with Sun Yaoliang generously, and they both raised their hands and drank it all.
Putting down the wine glass, Ying Annie filled Sun Yaoliang's glass again and continued, "I'll toast you another glass. Thank you for always accommodating me over the years and for buying me roses today. I'm very happy, really happy. Thank you, husband."
"You are my wife, so who else can I be nice to if I don't treat you well?" Sun Yaoliang said with a smile, and raised his glass again and clinked it with Ying Annie, and they both drank the glass.
After that, they didn't drink much, and ate their food while watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV and chatting casually.
Like many ordinary families, this was a warm and sweet New Year's Eve. Although their parents were not around, it was enough to have each other and their children.
Watching the Spring Festival Gala programs, there was a lively atmosphere of the New Year. There were laughter and joy on TV, and faint sounds of firecrackers could be heard outside. When a program ended, Sun Yaoliang suddenly said something to Ying Annie who was waiting for the next program.
"Annie, what do you say about me resigning from my position as general manager of the sales company?"
"What did you say?" Ying Anni was stunned and turned her head away as if she had not heard clearly what Sun Yaoliang had just said. It was not until Sun Yaoliang repeated it again that she was sure that she had not heard it wrong.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Ying Annie looked at Sun Yaoliang in surprise. Sun Yaoliang has been the general manager of the sales company since the establishment of Si Te, and he also serves as the vice president of Si Te.
At Sit, Sun Yaoliang is not only an old man, but also a contributor to Sit's development from a small joint venture company to what it is today.
Everyone is aware of the importance of the sales company in the company, and Sun Yaoliang has been doing a good job in this position over the years. Although he is only a vice president at the Sit headquarters and his rank is slightly lower than that of the executive vice president Zheng Guoyuan, Sun Yaoliang actually holds considerable power.
After all, the entire company's sales channels including the network were established by Sun Yaoliang himself. Now not only Sit, but even Nandu's sales channels are also in the sales company. In other words, they are also under the jurisdiction of Sun Yaoliang.
From this point of view, Sun Yaoliang's position in Sit is very stable, not to mention that he and Ying Annie are a family, and Ying Annie is a major shareholder of Sit. In addition to the personal relationship between Sun Yaoliang and Song Yuanchao, who in Sit doesn't know Sun Yaoliang's background?
But now, Sun Yaoliang suddenly planned to resign from the position of general manager of the sales company. Ying Annie was not prepared. Could it be that something happened in the company that Ying Annie didn't know? Why would her husband suddenly think like this? Ying Annie was surprised for a moment.
"Tonight, just before I came back, the sales company's promotional statistics came out." Sun Yaoliang did not answer Annie's question, but talked about work instead.
Sun Yaoliang lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke: "I was shocked when I saw the data. Do you know what the results of this promotion are so far?"
Without waiting for Ying Annie to ask himself, Sun Yaoliang told her the results of the data. When she learned the results of the data, even Ying Annie was shocked.
"So many? The data can't be wrong , right?"
"Of course not. I checked it specially and it is absolutely correct. Besides, this does not include the period from this afternoon to tomorrow. If it is included, it will only be more, not less." Sun Yaoliang answered seriously.
"This is so surprising!" Ying Annie said in surprise. The sales of Feichang Cola alone was beyond her imagination. In the past month and a half, the sales of Feichang Cola were almost the same as the whole of last year. Although this was due to the two major holidays of New Year's Day and Spring Festival and the product being in the peak sales season, and the company now taking promotional measures, the result was really incredible.
"The market share has not yet been released, but I believe that this time our product's market share is definitely the first in the country. As for what proportion it can reach, we will have to wait a few days to know."
"Except for Feichang Cola, the sales of other carbonated beverages, including instant noodles, Nandu's series of products, etc., have also increased dramatically. It can be said that we have achieved great success in this event, with unimaginable results..."
“Isn’t this a good thing?” Ying Annie said happily, “Your sales company has made an indispensable contribution to the success of this event. Husband, this is a happy event!”
"It's a happy event, but..." Sun Yaoliang was not as happy as Ying Annie. On the contrary, he seemed a little depressed and emotional.
He sighed and told Ying Anni what was in his mind. Although the activity was successful and the results were beyond his original imagination, it was reasonable to be happy. However, Sun Yaoliang felt heavy in his heart because he was determined not to do this activity at the beginning, and he even found Song Yuanchao for this matter, hoping that Song Yuanchao could change his decision.
Although Song Yuanchao persuaded Sun Yaoliang in the end, and in the subsequent implementation process, Sun Yaoliang also implemented this promotion plan with excellent professional ability and achieved success. However, when the successful result was placed in front of Sun Yaoliang, Sun Yaoliang was not too excited, but more reflective.
I have to admit that facts have proved that Song Yuanchao was right, and my previous concerns and judgments were completely wrong.
Everything Sun Yaoliang had considered before, including his worries, etc., were not worth mentioning at all. Faced with such huge results, even if there were some losses in the promotion activities, it would still be worth it from the overall perspective. Sun Yaoliang has realized this.
Thinking back to what Song Yuanchao said to him last time in Song Yuanchao's office, Sun Yaoliang now completely understood what he lacked. He had been in charge of the entire company's sales team for so many years, controlling the overall sales network and channels. Judging from the actual results, Sun Yaoliang's contribution to the company over the years was substantial and very dazzling.
But as Song Yuanchao said, Sun Yaoliang still has many shortcomings, the most important of which is the overall judgment and overall thinking. Having worked in the sales company for a long time, Sun Yaoliang has always been doing specific work and lacks strategic judgment and ideas for a company. Because of this, Sun Yaoliang often considers problems from the present and ignores other aspects.
The result of this activity has proved this point, and it has dealt a heavy blow to Sun Yaoliang. If Song Yuanchao's reminder was just a reminder, then the result now is a slap in the face. If Song Yuanchao did not insist on it at the time and retracted the decision because of his own misjudgment, then there would not be such a result now.
"When people stay in one place for too long, their thinking will become rigid." Sun Yaoliang pointed at his head and said, "Yuan Chao reminded me some time ago. Although I admitted my mistake at that time, I was still a little unwilling to accept it. But what about now? Facts have proved that he is right. I have lived a stable life for too long in the past two years, and my thinking has indeed become rigid. Moreover, as the company has grown bigger and bigger, I have been working as the general manager of the sales company for longer and longer periods of time, and my mentality is different from the beginning."
At this point, Sun Yaoliang smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "If this continues, it will not be a good thing for the company or for me personally. On the way back today, I thought a lot and considered it for a long time. I feel that I am no longer suitable to continue in the position of general manager of the sales company. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to resign from this position and change to another position or even a different job ."
