Everyone noticed the confident smile on Li Yuanfei’s face. His confidence seemed to be emotionally contagious. That was 120% of confidence, no doubt at all.
Why is he so confident? That was a question in everyone’s mind.
Most of the reporters had attended such ceremonies many times. In one hand, they could finish their work; on the other hand, the cash gift was very attractive… They had seen many owners of huge enterprises. They all faked confidence in such situations. The reporters were bright; they could tell who was really confident and who was not.
Li Yuanfei was the real confident one.
After the opening, he looked down to the audience from above, as if he was their majesty the King.
”Welcome, everyone, to this ceremony. This is very important to us. I assure you this is going to be a ceremony full of fun!” There weren’t any notes in his hands. His speech was spontaneous.
”In this ceremony, we are here not only to celebrate our brand-new headquarters building, but also to reveal the new logo of our company.”
Oh? The reporters started whispering.
A new company logo? That was interesting.
The old logo of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket was a big golden star with a line of small stars in a curve. It was not special, but it was a good logo. What would a good logo look like?
”I think,” a reporter said to Yu quietly, ”They might pick an animal as a logo. They are a pet store, right?”
Qian Tong responded, ”I agree. Is it going to be a cat or a dog?”
”It might be a lion or a tiger, the king of all animals. It is mighty and powerful, a great fit to Stars Pet’s position in the industry.”
Yu said, ”It might be a dragon, which is even more powerful?”
Qian Tong and the reporter both agreed that it couldn’t be a dragon.
Li Yuanfei successfully made everyone curious. He smiled, walked over to the red cloth, and landed his hand on the red cloth.
Every reporter and cameraman all focused on the red cloth.
”Here, I present to you… the new logo of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled off the red cloth.
Hundreds of people’s eyes landed on the mascot.
Silence.
After a short period of silence, people started murmuring to each other.
”What the heck is it?”
”Is it a… cat? It looks like a cat…”
”I don’t think it is a cat…”
”This is so difficult…”
The reporters were not the only ones to whom the logo was revealed to for the first time. Many of the lower-level staff members had never seen it before either.
The people’s reactions were all within Li Yuanfei’s expectation.
In fact, this logo was the subject of a heated discussion within higher management because it was not clear what it was or meant.
”Okay,” he looked at his watch, ”It is about time. I have to catch a flight. Our PR manager will take care of you guys…”
The PR manager walked up to the podium right away.
Li Yuanfei walked towards his Cadillac limousine.
The driver was waiting by the door and opened the door for the boss.
Li Yuanfei sat inside the car, stretched, and made himself comfortable.
Bang! Bang!
Someone knocked at the window.
At a glance, Li Yuanfei saw that it was the senior manager from the company’s legal department.
He opened up a small gap.
”What is it?” He asked.
”Something went wrong in the franchise store in Binhai city. The owner is a suspect for hiring someone for intentional assault. He was arrested and we are handling this matter,” The manager knew his boss well enough so he was brief and to the point.
”Binhai city?” Li Yuanfei was surprised. Didn’t thegame send a tip about detecting an elfin in Binhai city?
Was it a coincidence? It had to be.
He waved, meaning that he got it. He didn’t need to give any instruction. If he had to take care of everything, then many people would lose their jobs.
