CHAPTER IX
Lu Shengnan also made an appointment to meet with a customer this morning to communicate the revised design draft, if the revision is passed, the contract can probably be signed today; after simply cleaning up the room, she sat in front of the dresser and put on a light makeup, because her skin itself is fair, Lu Shengnan rarely uses foundation or anything, only traces eyeliner, mascara, and light pink lipstick.
Walked to the locker room, chose a pair of black pencil jeans, a cream turtleneck, and a light gray cashmere coat, looked in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, picked up a pink cashmere scarf, walked to the entrance and changed into a pair of dark gray suede boots, picked up the bag and walked out of the house to the basement.
Before coming to the car, Lu Shengnan looked at the scratched place yesterday, in the lower right corner of the front bumper, only two places of patent leather fell off, because the area is small, it doesn't look eye-catching, Lu Shengnan plans to wait for the next time he goes to the 4S shop to maintain the car, and then deal with it together, step on the pedal and get on the car and drive to the customer's company.
This client is the owner of a private company, and one of Lu Shengnan's old customers introduced her to design a resort hotel located in the suburbs; Lu Shengnan has met with this hotel twice, and the first draft of the design plan is not very satisfactory in a few places, and it took a week to revise it after communication, and it should be almost the same today.
When he arrived at the customer company, parked the car, Lu Shengnan went directly to the third floor to Mr. Yu's office; the office door was wide open, and the door of the assistant office next to him was also open, and when he saw Lu Shengnan coming, a neat boy came out of the assistant office and asked Lu Shengnan to wait for a while and then entered the general manager's office, and soon came out to invite Lu Shengnan in, saying that Mr. Yu was waiting for the landing director.
After smiling and thanking him, Lu Shengnan walked into the general manager's office, and Mr. Yu was sitting behind the desk drinking tea;
Lu Shengnan sat down on the chair opposite Mr. Yu and said with a smile that Mr. Yu was too polite, this was what I should have done. Yu is always a chubby man in his thirties, who loves to laugh and gives people a very kind and easy-going feeling; after the assistant brought Lu Shengnan the tea, Lu Shengnan took out his notebook and explained the revised plan to Mr. Yu.
After more than half an hour passed, Lu Shengnan explained very clearly, Mr. Yu was also very satisfied with the modification, and asked about the approximate budget, knowing that Lu Shengnan had taken into account the investment problem when designing and had designed according to the ideal budget range of Mr. Yu, Mr. Yu was even more satisfied, and after a few words of praise and praise, he signed the contract prepared by Lu Shengnan, and asked the assistant to come in and take it for sealing.
Lu Shengnan reminded him: "Mr. Yu, don't you have to take a closer look at the contract, see if there is anything you think is inappropriate?"
Mr. Yu invited her to sit down on the sofa in the reception area, brewed kung fu tea by herself, and put it in front of Lu Shengnan after brewing, and after smelling the aroma, she also picked up one and smelled the aroma and said: "Director Lu tasted this tea, it was my new frozen top oolong yesterday, which is very suitable for this kind of weather to taste." β
Lu Shengnan picked up the tea cup and put it in his palm, smelled the tea fragrance first, it was rich and sweet, and then took a sip and hovered on the tip of his tongue for a moment and slowly swallowed it: "It is indeed a good tea, sweet but not greasy, thicker than ordinary oolong tea, and has a long aftertaste." β
Mr. Yu laughed: "I guess Director Lu must be a person who understands tea, as expected! Director Lu just drinks tea well, and he doesn't have to worry about the contract." Wang and I have always been old friends for many years, and when I was young, I was still in a military unit, and I still have something to worry about the people he recommends; I heard that Director Lu has designed many projects for Mr. Wang's company, and Lao Wang, that old fox, can trust you, what else can I not trust. β
Lu Shengnan also laughed, indeed, her old customer Mr. Wang is a famous old fox in H City, good at calculations; Lu Shengnan was in charge of a project of Mr. Wang when he was still in the design institute six years ago, and it was the first time he dealt with him, and he was exhausted by his calculations, and he felt that it was more difficult to design one plan for him than to design three plans for others. Mr. Wang was very satisfied with Lu Shengnan's serious work attitude, and later learned that Lu Shengnan opened his own design office, and all the design projects of their company involving the architectural field were handed over to Lu Shengnan, and Lu Shengnan was introduced to several customers.
"It turns out that you and Mr. Wang are still comrades-in-arms, but your two personalities really don't look like they can be old friends. Lu Shengnan sighed.
Mr. Yu laughed even more heartily when he heard her say this: "No, many people think that I have completely different personalities from Lao Wang, and I am a rival in the shopping mall, where can I become a true friend, it would be good if I was not calculated to death by Lao Wang;
After taking a sip of tea and putting down the tea cup, Lu Shengnan said with a smile: "In fact, being a man is like drinking tea, as long as you have a normal heart and always look at everything around you with gratitude, you can naturally look down on the loss, and you can also get a lot of unexpected fun; β
Mr. Yu smiled and sighed: "That's exactly what you said! I have also experienced a lot to get an understanding, I didn't think that Director Lu could see through it at a young age, it is not easy; no wonder Lao Wang is full of praise for you, you know, there are very few people who can get Lao Wang's sincere praise." β
Lu Shengnan smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of always jokes, I have also really experienced it." β
"Oh, then I want to hear it, Director Lu is also a young man in H City, and I'm still a little curious about your affairs. Mr. Yu joked with a smile.
Lu Shengnan said softly: "When I was still in college in the capital, my family was very difficult, and I often went out to work to earn living expenses; you may not know that studying our major is more expensive than other majors, because you have to buy a lot of tools, paper, paints, and so on. There was a time when I was selling discount cards, which were discount cards, three hundred yuan each, and I could get fifty yuan for selling one; I was in charge of making phone calls between 6 and 10 o'clock in the evening, and you think we always called strangers to sell this kind of discount card, and most of the people who answered the phone had a bad attitude and started swearing after we said a few words. Once I made a phone call and just said a few words, the person who answered the phone seemed to be in a bad mood and spoke to me very politely, I could hear that the person was in a bad mood, so I didn't talk about the card anymore, and talked about some light topics to make that person happy. Actually, I didn't think much about it at the time, I was in a bad mood that day, but I didn't know the capital well, so I thought that if someone could tease me a few words, maybe I would be happy, and knowing that person was in a bad mood, I thought that I would make others happy. Later, that person would call us at 8 o'clock every day to talk to me, and he would buy a card every day for two months until the company was shut down, and in these two months, this person alone made me 3,000 yuan, which was astronomical to me at that time, and I used these 3,000 yuan to buy all the tools that the school designated to buy. β
Seeing that Mr. Yu listened carefully, Lu Shengnan continued: "In the past few years, I often think of this person, at that time, it was my own kindness that was so richly rewarded; although I have not met this person, and I don't know how he is doing, but I always silently pray in my heart that he can be a good person and have a good reward, and live a happy and prosperous life." I'm not afraid of your jokes, sometimes I go to the temple to offer incense, I always have a wish to hope that this person will live well, isn't it a little naΓ―ve? But it is only after this incident that I believe that if you treat others sincerely, you will not be afraid that others will fail you, and good luck will always come. β
After Lu Shengnan finished speaking, he drank tea silently, and after thinking for a while, Mr. Yu suddenly asked her, "Does Director Lu remember that person's name?"
Seeing that he asked seriously, Lu Shengnan replied in surprise: "I only know that the person's surname is Li, and the phone number at home is a very auspicious number, and the tail number seems to be four eight; that person seems to have just come to work in a state-owned enterprise at that time, and he bought a card every day and said that it was bought by his colleagues and friends. β
Mr. Yu suddenly laughed, Lu Shengnan looked at him strangely, Mr. Yu laughed for a while and then said to Lu Shengnan: "Director Lu, you said that the fate of this person and people is really wonderful, I should know the person you are talking about, and he is also my old friend for many years." β
After speaking, he seemed to fall into a memory, and looked at Lu Shengnan with a smile after a while: "The person Director Lu said is called Li Ruhan, and the state-owned enterprise he works for is a road and bridge company, right? At that time, I was a soldier in the capital, and we also met through a mutual friend's introduction, we were both poor boys at that time, and Li Ruhan had a house in the capital, and several of us would go to his house to eat and drink on weekends; for a while, this guy often ignored us, and we made a fuss at his house, and he himself talked on the phone with a female college student on the balcony, and a dozen was two hours, chatting all over the world. Later, several of us received the preferential cards he sent, Director Lu, you may not know, these preferential cards are all bought with his own money; think about it, at that time, there were a few people who believed in the preferential card, and he bought it with his own money in order to call and chat with you every day without delaying your work, and it seemed that he spent more than 20,000 yuan in total. β
