Chapter 1284 - The Celebratory Banquet
Chapter 1284: The Celebratory Banquet
It was 10 AM!
The listing of Lanxin’s health supplements brand and the display of products were successfully completed with the help of Du Ruo and Old Mr. Du, who was an influential figure in the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine. At the same time, the reporters also provided wide coverage and reports about the product launch. There were also videos of the event that were published on the internet.
Du Shinan was in awe and approval of his granddaughter.
At the same time, Lanxin’s health supplements brand had also earned the approval of many.
After the listing of the brand, the product display was also completed!
Everyone in the meeting room could not help but cheer in joy and excitement. Wen Xinya also relayed the good news to Yan Shaoqing and the other staff members who were at the front line, via a video call.
Everyone was flabbergasted.
They had prepared for this moment for a long time.
At six in the evening, the sales department submitted a sales report which tabulated the total amount of sales that they had achieved for the day. To their astonishment, they managed to reach a total amount of 100,000 yuan in sales.
After recovering from the shock, everyone cheered in joy and excitement.
At half-past six, Wen Xinya arranged a celebratory feast for Lanxin Company at Little Southern Nation restaurant.
The employees of Lanxin were allocated to dine in the hall while the senior managerial executives dined in the smaller rooms. The largest room was meant for Wen Xinya as well as the most senior staff members of Lanxin, like Ouyang Feng, Li Mengjie, Zheng Yifan, Chen Xinchen, and Gao Enyang.
The wine and dishes were served at seven. The employees outside had already begun eating and toasting to each other while cheering merrily. However, the people in Wen Xinya’s room had yet to begin eating.
After taking a look at the time on his watch, Ouyang Feng asked, “It’s almost 7:30 PM. Why isn’t Old Yan here yet?”
Lanxin Company’s health supplements factory was built in C City, which was neither too near nor far away from Capital city. Hence, it only required a two-hour train journey. By 4:30 PM, Yan Shaoqing had already begun getting ready to return to Capital city. Since it was already 7:30 PM, he should have already arrived.
Wen Xinya said, “I just received a text message from him a while ago. He’s already arrived in Capital city and I reckon he should be on his way now. Traffic peaks at six or seven in Capital city. He’s probably stuck in a jam.”
Yan Shaoqing deserved the most credit for the building of the health supplements brand. Now that the brand had been launched and they had also achieved an impressive 100,000-yuan sales record on the first day, Yan Shaoqing had to be present at the celebratory dinner. Without him, the celebration would not be complete.
Everyone was waiting for Yan Shaoqing to turn up.
Li Mengjie said, “I’ll call him again to find out where he is now!”
She then whipped out her mobile phone and got ready to call Yan Shaoqing.
Qiu Yifan said, “Don’t. He’s reaching soon, anyway. It’s the peak hour of traffic now. Don’t keep calling and rushing him.”
Yan Shaoqing must be feeling extremely eager and anxious. Throughout the years, he had put in plenty of blood, sweat, and tears into developing Lanxin. Now that the products had been launched, Yan Shaoqing was definitely the happiest person and hence, would not miss the banquet.
Zheng Yifan said, “It’s still early now. We can still wait.”
Everyone agreed.
While Wen Xinya was the soul and brain of Lanxin Company, Yan Shaoqing was the key character and the leader of everyone. All of the managerial executives were nurtured by Yan Shaoqing and hence, they treated him with great respect.
Everyone began chatting about the launch of the health supplements. Just as they were in the midst of a joyous conversation, the door of the room was swung open.
Panting heavily, Yan Shaoqing stood by the door and stared at everyone.
As happy as a lark, Wen Xinya said, “Brother Yan, hurry and come take a seat here. We’re all waiting for you.”
Yan Shaoqing caught his breath and took a seat beside Wen Xinya. Feeling a little apologetic, he said, “I’m really sorry about being late to such an important event.”
He got stuck in a traffic jam as soon as he drove to the street in front of the restaurant. He watched as time passed bit by bit. Afraid that he would miss the celebratory feast, he resorted to alighting from the car and riding to the restaurant on a bicycle that he had bought.
Wen Xinya smiled and beckoned for the waiter to come forth.
The waiter then served the dishes one by one, all of which were exquisite and appetizing. The sight of the sumptuous spread made everyone’s mouth water.
Before she even took a few bites, Wen Xinya grabbed a glass of wine and said, “Today is the day of the launch of our health supplements products and the listing of the brand. We managed to achieve such a milestone, all thanks to the hard work put in by all of you. Your efforts are also the reason we managed to achieve such an impressive sales record of 100,000 yuan on the first day. Here… let me toast to you guys.”
Wen Xinya finished the glass of wine in one gulp while everyone cheered.
Wen Xinya returned to her seat and laughed out loud. “We have plenty of sumptuous dishes and wine here. Feel free to order anything you want.”
At this moment, Yan Shaoqing rose from his seat and took a sweeping glance at everyone in the room. “Shall we toast to Boss too?”
“Sure!” Everyone rose from their seats with their glasses of wine.
Yan Shaoqing stared at Wen Xinya and said, “Without your great leadership and management skills, we wouldn’t have been able to achieve the success that we have today.”
He then chugged his wine.
Everyone followed suit without hesitation.
The atmosphere became much livelier.
Wen Xinya stood up yet again and said, “Here, let’s toast and hope that we can successfully clinch the sponsorship for Zhishan Club’s martyr appreciation.”
“Cheers…” Everyone clinked their glasses merrily while some of the red wine splashed out of their glasses.
Ouyang Feng stood up and said, “I have something to say too. Let’s toast to achieving a massive sales record of 100,000 yuan on our very first day!”
“Cheers…”
Li Mengjie added, “Let’s hope that we will continue to achieve massive sales in the future.”
Zheng Yifan said, “Let’s toast to a better future for Lanxin Company!”
Everyone expressed their well-wishes and excitement for Lanxin’s bright future.
Next, everyone began toasting to Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya naturally accepted all of their toasts. Seeing how candid she was, everyone began to find her a little less mysterious and a little more personable.
Many of them also toasted to Yan Shaoqing who, unfortunately, began to get rather drunk after just a few drinks, all because of his poor liquor level. Hence, Wen Xinya and Ouyang Feng had to drink on his behalf.
