Chapter 10 Unfair Interviews
There were four interviewers in total. The lady on the far left wearing a light gray suit was Yayoi's PR manager. Lu Cheng had met her before.
Next to her was the deputy manager of the marketing department, and he didn't sit with the marketing manager wearing glasses. There was a man in a suit and leather shoes who was obviously the examiner in the middle. Lu Cheng guessed that his position level should be higher than that of the others present. All three are taller.
The other party didn't even lift their heads when Lu Cheng and the others entered the door, and calmly flipped through the information on the desktop, as if this assessment had nothing to do with him.
The manager of the marketing department wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and his probing gaze gave Lu Cheng an indescribable sense of oppression, which was very uncomfortable.And when Lu Cheng and him looked at each other, the other party would immediately look away and pretend to look away as if nothing had happened. Lu Cheng frowned slightly, his first impression was that he didn't like this person very much.
Yayoi's new men's fragrance "Nan Xing" that will be released this season is mainly targeted at young people between the ages of 20 and 30 who are new to the workplace.When Lu Cheng knew about this brand, he was still in college, and a friend just loved Yayoi's men's fragrance, so he insisted on popularizing it for him.At that time, Lu Cheng walked around the basketball court with the ball all day long, and it was the time when he was informal. He also didn't accept the matter of boys wearing perfume. He thought it was a girl. This prejudice did not change until he entered the entertainment circle.
After a brief self-introduction, the marketing manager wearing glasses began to ask some professional questions.
Guo Kaifan was the first to answer. The reason why he is confident that he has the chance to win is because he has already obtained internal information through his relationship. He has long been familiar with the fragrance, product positioning, and promotion planning of "Southern Star".
He talked eloquently and answered all questions calmly and gracefully.Of course, he wouldn't be so stupid as to memorize the answers backwards, and only picked out the key parts. He really looked like an expert in perfume.
There were three interviewers originally scheduled. Although Guo Kaifan didn't know who the man who unexpectedly came to the interview was, he must be of high status to be able to sit in the position of the chief examiner.
Seeing that he listened very seriously, Guo Kaifan seemed to be very interested in his answer, and felt even more proud. He deliberately showed off, and after answering all the questions, he talked about his views on Yayoi brand promotion.After all, the winning ticket is in hand, and just one perfume is insignificant. It must attract their attention and leave a good impression. Maybe there is a chance to compete for the endorsement of the whole line of products.
"Very good, I think you are very suitable for our position." The man with glasses nodded in satisfaction and quickly came to a conclusion.
Then he began to question Zhuo Xi again, Zhuo Xi's answer was short and well-regulated, and the content mentioned were all the things announced at the previous new product launch conference.
The chief examiner only glanced at Zhuo Xi indifferently, but still didn't express anything.
But the man with glasses didn't comment on Zhuo Xi's answer, he just put his information at the bottom, as if it was a waste of time to even take a second look.Afterwards, he shook Lu Cheng's information in his hand, and an imperceptible coldness flashed across his eyes.
"Mr. Lu, I hope you can answer all the following questions honestly."
"Tell me what you know about 'Southern Star'."
"According to the introduction at the press conference, Nanxing is a citrus-based perfume." Lu Cheng ignored the arrogance in the man's tone and said while recalling.
Since "Southern Star" has not yet been listed, there are very few introductions about it on the Internet except for the official information released at the press conference.However, according to the previous men's fragrance launched by Yayoi, this fragrance will be innovated on the basis of fresh tone.
"The citrus fragrances released by your company in the past always use floral fragrance as the base note..."
"Mr. Lu, please answer the question about 'Nan Xing' and don't digress." Before Cheng Lu could finish speaking, the man with glasses interrupted him sharply, "We are all busy and our time is limited."
If the man with glasses started off with malicious intent, he was clearly targeting him now.However, Lu Cheng was not flustered by the interruption of his train of thought, and he still replied according to his own rhythm: "Nan Xing is positioned as a man who is new to the workplace, and the citrus scent is not enough to reflect the transition from youthful to excessive for men of this age. It is too mature. So in addition to the open ambergris on the main note... I think your company's design this time may use some quiet herbs and spices to add the base notes, such as fir and oak. It is like a lively and straightforward youth step. After entering the workplace, it is a process of becoming mature and stable step by step through experience."
"It feels like you haven't prepared enough, the next question..." The man with glasses carefully analyzed every sentence of Lu Cheng. Unfortunately, he didn't pick out any mistakes or omissions in his words, so he had to find a subjective and general reason.
At this moment, the man in the suit sitting in the middle suddenly spoke and interrupted the man with glasses asking, "I want to hear your opinion on product promotion."
This was the first time the chief examiner asked a question, and everyone in the room was a little surprised. The man with glasses quickly recovered from his gaffe for a moment, exchanged glances with Guo Kaifan, and signaled the other party to be calm.
Faced with the sudden question, Lu Cheng was still very calm. After all, he had the right to speak about the perfume from rejection to acceptance.
"The positioning of 'South Star' is men between the ages of 20 and 30. They are not like experienced professional elites. Consumers at this age, especially boys who are studying or graduating from college, will not take the initiative If you are going to buy perfume, you might as well start with gifts and distribute the promotional resources to young female groups, and now many girls also like to use men’s perfume, if the advertisement is attractive, I believe they will also be willing to try it.”
"Okay, I have no questions." The man in the middle nodded to the other two to continue asking questions.
In fact, all the original questions have been asked, but the man with glasses asked Lu Cheng another question, and this question was only aimed at him. "Then Mr. Lu, can you talk about the impact of the negative news about the spokesperson on the product?"
Lu Cheng paused, and then said directly: "Negative news will affect the sales of products."
"Then," a sneer crossed the lips of the man with glasses, "how can Mr. Lu guarantee that the scandal of the past few days will not affect us?"
This person was obviously targeting him from the beginning of the question.
Lu Cheng didn't change his face and said: "Yayoi is a high-end brand. I believe that your company and your customer group are people who can distinguish right from wrong, and will not believe fake news from gossip tabloids."
"It's easy to say, do you know how much this kind of scandal will cause us?" The man with glasses suddenly raised his voice, stared at Lu Cheng arrogantly, his eyes bared his fangs like a poisonous snake.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
The man with glasses quietly glanced at the chief examiner sitting next to him. Seeing that the other party's brows were furrowed and his face suddenly darkened, he became more confident.
He had long heard that the president of their family hates homosexuality, so he gave Guo Kaifan an idea. Once the scandal broke out, the manager of the public relations department would not dare to sign a contract with Lu Cheng rashly. He must think of a roundabout way and add another competition for the quota. Well, the deputy manager of the marketing department has already taken care of it in advance. When the time comes, two votes to one vote, there is no point in insisting on using Lu Cheng's PR manager.
It's just that the man with glasses didn't expect that their president would actually come for an interview in person for the endorsement of a mere perfume, but that's fine, Guo Kaifan's chances of winning would only be greater if he boasted about Lu's homosexual scandal in front of the president.
"No brand will allow its spokespersons to have stains," he specially emphasized the word "stains", and waited for Lu Cheng to refute red-faced. Of course, any excuse is useless.
"Stain?" Lu Cheng was not as eager to defend himself as the man with glasses thought, but sneered, "Does your company think that the recent media reports about me will have a negative impact on the product?"
"Of course." The man with glasses sneered, and asked back, "Don't you have any awareness of being a public figure?"
"I also think that since you are the spokesperson, you should maintain a positive image." Through their answers about the perfume just now, Guo Kaifan already felt that winning the endorsement was a sure thing. more interested in answering.He was afraid that there would be another sudden change, so he also echoed in desperation: "Customers value this very much."
"That's right, which company would invite someone like you to speak for it? It's a self-defeating sign." Since the president didn't speak, the man with glasses thought that the other party had acquiesced in his actions, and felt even more proud.
"Let's not say that the news in the report is all rumors, just assume that those are true..." Lu Cheng laughed back angrily. He hated this kind of disrespectful and arrogant attitude from the beginning of answering the question, and he can bear it until now This is the limit, "Is your company openly admitting to discriminate against homosexuals?"
The man in glasses was taken aback for a moment, and quickly argued again: "We don't discriminate, but we also have to consider the brand image..."
"Then you think my image is not positive enough?" Lu Cheng stood up directly and walked in front of him.
"Then tell me, what is a positive image? Am I breaking the law or have a moral problem? You are aggressively accusing me here, but do you dare to put a sign saying that homosexuals have strayed into the counter? Did it clearly state that only employees with a sexual orientation are of the opposite sex?"
There are all kinds of discrimination in the entertainment industry, and he is even aware that homosexuality will affect the acting and endorsement, but this is the first time Lu Cheng has encountered discrimination so openly on the table, and now he is no longer angry with that unwarranted rumor , but despised the other party's superior attitude.
"I'm afraid my ideas don't fit with your company, and there's no need to continue the interview." After speaking, Lu Cheng met the man in the suit with deep eyes in the middle, thinking that the endorsement is basically useless anyway, so he might as well be ruthless Hit back.
Thinking of this, Lu Cheng couldn't help but sarcastically said, "If a company doesn't know how to respect people, then no matter what kind of customer group the product is positioned in, the sales will not be good."
"I think your character and image are very suitable for Yayoi." Just when Lu Cheng's hand touched the doorknob, the examiner said slowly, "I forgot to introduce myself, I am Zhuo Fan, Yayoi's president. .”
Next to her was the deputy manager of the marketing department, and he didn't sit with the marketing manager wearing glasses. There was a man in a suit and leather shoes who was obviously the examiner in the middle. Lu Cheng guessed that his position level should be higher than that of the others present.
