Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 811: Chapter 811: Shortlisted

Both Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo had their goals set, and all of a sudden, they became busy. Cheng Su had to focus on the Joy Soon Loy Jam competition, while Qi Taiguo was preparing to go study.

They both left early and returned late, only meeting in the evenings. But even so, their relationship didn’t worsen; instead, they became more in sync due to mutual encouragement and support.

The company’s application for the competition was quickly finalized. Initially, there weren’t many spots, as they only selected five companies. But since Cheng Su’s company specialized in jam and their strawberry jam was quite famous, they quickly got shortlisted.

"Even Friendly made it," Ying Xiaoya said after checking the organizer’s shortlisted information.

Cheng Su wasn’t surprised; the jams from Friendly weren’t bad, and the company had a certain level of fame, so getting shortlisted was quite normal.

"Our previous small skirmishes don’t count; now it’s time to truly compete with their company." Cheng Su’s eyes sparkled with confidence.

Ying Xiaoya was also excited, proudly saying, "Previously, their company’s jams were slightly inferior to ours; this competition, they definitely won’t match up to us!"

Cheng Su glanced at her, wagged his finger, and said, "That’s not the mindset we should have. People can improve. Previously, Friendly couldn’t compare to our Joy Soon Loy, but that doesn’t mean now or in the future they can’t. We must always maintain a humble attitude in our actions, knowing there are always bigger mountains out there. Many people fall due to arrogance."

Ying Xiaoya stuck out her tongue and said, "You’ve lectured me again!"

Xiao Pinshan laughed after hearing this: "President Cheng is right. Friendly’s jams couldn’t compare to our Joy Soon Loy before, but now, I’ve researched the market, and their sales volume has grown significantly over the same period." He said, handing Cheng Su a report, "I think they must have put a lot of effort into this area, so it’s not surprising if their jam matches ours."

Cheng Su took it, flipped through it, and said with a deep gaze, "Find some time to buy the jams from Friendly and the other shortlisted companies so we can study them together."

"Yes."

Cheng Su carefully studied the report, and Ying Xiaoya leaned over to look, saying, "Previously, Friendly tried dirty tricks to deal with our company, damaging their reputation. How did they bounce back so quickly?"

"That’s why you shouldn’t underestimate your opponent, or you might trip up at any moment." Cheng Su glanced at her and said, "Wan Fuyu was able to grow his company so big, so you shouldn’t underestimate his abilities. Take the last incident as an example—he knows how to bend and adapt, and such people can be the most dangerous opponents. As long as there’s a breath left in him, he’ll make a comeback. See, isn’t this the case now?"

Ying Xiaoya couldn’t help but feel ashamed and blushed, saying, "You’re right; I was too arrogant." No wonder her parents told her to learn more from Cheng Su’s way of being and perspective—she truly has such vision and foresight.

"But I heard that Gu Lijuan, who was with Wan Fuyu, is no longer by his side, supposedly driven away by his original spouse!" Ying Xiaoya’s eyes lit up with gossip, "Wan Fuyu may have skills, but to kick someone out like that is, well, cough cough, quite something, considering Secretary Gu helped him a lot!"

"Mind your own business, don’t be a gossip." Cheng Su glanced at her with a hint of disapproval, "If you have time, check with Yanmei to gather information on the other competing companies. I want a detailed report."

As they say, know your enemy and yourself, and you’ll run a hundred battles without defeat, so she wanted to see the strengths and weaknesses of all the competing companies.

Ying Xiaoya stuck out her tongue and went to follow her instructions.
