My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 460: Accountability

The shelves of Hexing Rice were swept clean by consumers, who thought, "Wow, Hexing Rice is so popular, I must give it a try."

So, they eagerly waited for Hexing Rice to be restocked and continued to snap it up.

Once this cycle formed, surprisingly, it did not break for a long time.

President Cheng of Jiayuexing Supermarket still had his assistant monitor the sales of Hexing Rice at Sincere Supermarket.

But this time, he didn’t need his assistant to tell him to know that Hexing Rice was selling very well.

Because Hexing Rice had inevitably become a phenomenon.

Moreover, as a competitor, Jiayuexing Supermarket also specifically collected operating data from other major supermarkets.

And recently, Sincere Supermarket, because of Hexing Rice, had been particularly eye-catching.

With increased foot traffic, President Zhang made a decisive call, seizing this opportunity to promote some other product categories as well, attracting consumers.

While purchasing Hexing Rice, consumers, seeing the discounts, couldn’t help but buy some more.

And when Hexing Rice was sold out, customers, having made a wasted trip but having the mentality of "since I’m here," would casually buy something else to take home, which was common.

Therefore, it could be said that with the drive of Hexing Rice, the daily sales of Sincere Supermarket surged significantly.

Not only Jiayuexing but other supermarkets were observing and were aware that Sincere Supermarket was booming right now.

"Just because of that Hexing Rice, such an effect could be achieved?" President Zhang couldn’t understand.

The assistant standing in front of President Zhang also couldn’t answer this question.

Because he also hadn’t expected that Hexing Rice could achieve such a feat in such a short time.

This time, President Cheng really had misjudged.

The assistant couldn’t help but sneak a glance at President Cheng.

President Cheng had just been talking to himself and didn’t expect the assistant to come up with any answers.

"President Cheng, the CEO wants you and the leaders of various departments to gather in the conference room in fifteen minutes," the assistant said to President Cheng.

"Did they say what it’s about?" President Cheng had a premonition that it probably had to do with Sincere Supermarket and Hexing Rice.

If that was the case, he was afraid he’d be in for a serious scolding.

But President Cheng still couldn’t help but cling to a sliver of hope.

"It seems to be related to Sincere Supermarket and Hexing Rice," the assistant mercilessly shattered President Cheng’s hope.

President Cheng was dejected for a moment before he said, "Understood."

President Cheng first sent the assistant out and then tidied up before heading to the conference room.

Apart from their CEO, President Cheng was the last to arrive.

The conference room had been abuzz with discussion, but as President Cheng entered, everyone stopped and politely greeted him.

President Cheng nodded somberly, suspecting they had just been talking about how he had pushed out Hexing Rice, only to watch as Sincere Supermarket raked in the money.

"What were you all talking about just now?" President Cheng asked with a forced smile.

"Heh, nothing much, just small talk," Vice President Liu said, grinning.

President Cheng was about to say more when the CEO entered the room.

Jiayuexing was a family business, originally headed by the old chairman, but after the current CEO joined the company, he slowly gained experience and gradually took over.

Now in his fifties, CEO Gu Zhengfu was starting to train his own son.

Currently, Gu Zhengfu’s son was getting to know the situation of Jiayuexing Supermarkets across the country, spending a year at each one. freēnovelkiss.com

Without any surprises, he would return next year to join the headquarters and officially enter the upper management.

Gu Zhengfu entered with a stern face, and everyone hurried to their feet.

"Sit," Gu Zhengfu said casually as he walked in.

But until he sat down, no one else dared to take their seat.

Gu Zhengfu seemed to be just going through the motions of saying it, seated himself first, and then the others sat down.

President Cheng, with apprehension in his heart, did not dare to meet eyes with Gu Zhengfu.

Then, he heard Gu Zhengfu say, "The reason for calling everyone here so suddenly, I’m sure you all have an idea."

"Sincere Supermarket has been in the spotlight recently, all because of Hexing Rice," Gu Zhengfu said with a grave voice, "Hexing Rice first became famous due to the defamation incident involving Lu Youxi, with the media specifically reporting from a positive angle about Lu Youxi’s inspirational journey from a poor rural area to Jing University, and how, once he achieved some success, he did not forget his fellow villagers but took the first opportunity to lead them to wealth."

"Because the image was so positive, Hexing Rice itself became famous as a tool that brought wealth."

"Furthermore, recently the famous food critic Yang Dongrao personally praised Hexing Rice for its deliciousness, which led to a significant increase in the fame of Hexing Rice."

"And currently, Dongshenglai and Sincere Supermarket are the only two channels selling Hexing Rice," said Gu Zhengfu gravely, "Dongshenglai is fine because it’s a high-end hotel with a relatively small customer base; most people won’t go out of their way to Dongshenglai just for Hexing Rice."

"But Sincere Supermarket, this time, utilized the fame of Hexing Rice to launch big promotions, not only for Hexing Rice but also boosting sales across various product categories, even with discounts, they made a killing," Gu Zhengfu said heavily, "This time, Sincere Supermarket can be said to be the biggest winner."

"Colleagues have specifically gone to check, and the daily foot traffic of Sincere Supermarket is twice that of ours!" Gu Zhengfu continued, "When Hexing Rice first became famous, consumers had already inquired in our supermarket whether Hexing Rice was available for sale."

"After Yang Dongrao’s recommendation, even more people came to our supermarket asking for Hexing Rice," said Gu Zhengfu, "not only in the Imperial Capital stores but in branches across the nation."

"Consumers excitedly came to the grains section, couldn’t find Hexing Rice, asked salespeople, and learned that our supermarket didn’t carry it, leaving empty-handed."

Gu Zhengfu tapped his finger on the table, "I want to ask those in charge of supermarket promotions, since we don’t sell Hexing Rice in our supermarket, but since we’ve already attracted consumers with Hexing Rice, why haven’t we followed up with other products promotions? Consumers came, and you actually managed to let them walk out empty-handed, without any attraction."

"The sales of other product categories within the supermarket saw no improvement! The consumers came in empty-handed, and they left just as empty-handed," Gu Zhengfu’s voice grew louder, "But look at Sincere Supermarket! With Hexing Rice selling well, they immediately got involved with promotions of other product categories, gave discounts where needed, and aggressively sold everything."

"Even when Hexing Rice was out of stock, the consumers didn’t leave Sincere Supermarket empty-handed."

"So, those in charge of product promotions, what’s the deal?" Gu Zhengfu demanded.

President Cheng on the side didn’t dare to make a noise, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

At least it wasn’t his head being called into question.

At least it wasn’t just his work mistake.

The colleagues responsible for product promotions hadn’t been able to keep up either.
