Chapter 21: Remembering a Friend
Lu Xiaobai felt like they were engaged in pyramid schemes. He once heard people say that pyramid schemes mean that relatives cheat relatives out of their money, friends cheat friends out of their money, and those who are deceived become fraudsters. However, he did not sympathize with the pyramid schemers who lost their wives and soldiers.
In fact, when he first stepped into this threshold, he guessed that this was a leather bag company, and what he saw and heard next made him more and more suspicious that this was not a company at all, but a temporary rented place for cheating. The place here is very simple, the atmosphere is very eerie, and there is a big difference compared to the office space of those regular businesses. The office area of those businesses is located in an office building with a bright window, or located in a corner of the shopping mall, with all kinds of office equipment, no one will inject the concept of "pipeline story" into your work, only tell you how to carry out the work, what matters should be paid attention to in the work, and your mood will not have the excitement of the tide; However, there is only one rectangular table with peeling paint, and one is about 1 long. A writing whiteboard of 2 meters and a width of about 1 meter, and more than 20 plastic stools, it is such a humble place, it is actually a "dream processing field", which makes your mind withstand the stormy impact, Lu Xiaobai feels funny when he thinks about it.
After encouraging each other with a hope of success, he got up and left. He wanted to leave quickly, but Zeng Jiabao said that he had important things to discuss with him. Lu Xiaobai said in his heart, don't make a wrong idea about me, I won't eat your set, but I want to see what you say to me?
Zeng Jiabao took Lu Xiaobai's hand and asked with a smile: "What do you think of this career?" ”
Lu Xiaobai felt that his palms were stained with sweat, and he was very uncomfortable, he tried to break free with a little force, but he squeezed it tighter and tighter, as if he was afraid that he would run away, he smiled helplessly, trying to calm the tension in his heart. He said: "You thing, I don't want to make any remarks, I just say that you can sell the product, it's your ability - you left me behind, probably to strengthen the concept of wealth in me, let me pay for the product, join your organization, right?" He couldn't think of any other purpose for Zeng Jiabao to keep him, something to pay for, he thought that only a fool would do it.
Zeng Jiabao gently patted Lu Xiaobai's arm with his other hand, looking very intimate, and he explained unhurriedly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you to pay for products, the purpose of I called you over is to discuss with you and see if you are willing to develop as a lecturer?" ――You know, I think you have the potential to be a lecturer, so I sincerely invited you, but no one else has this kind of treatment. I'll take the time and effort to train you if you want. Of course, no one wants to do things without making money, I train you not only to let you be a lecturer, but more importantly, to let you participate in the management of the team I have developed, the sales performance generated by the team, you have a bonus, the bonus is issued according to a certain proportion of the system, very fair and reasonable, the bonus system uses the principle of geometric progression, good development, the bonus is very attractive. I will slowly analyze this bonus system for you in the future, I am worried that you will be so excited that you can't sleep after listening to it. To tell you the truth, my team has been established for less than half a year, and there are already fifty or sixty members, and these fifty or sixty members are like fifty or sixty trees, these trees will sow countless seeds, and after the seeds grow into trees, they will sow seeds, and finally become a big forest, how good is this prospect, you are a smart person, you don't need to say too much, you will understand if you think about it yourself. The team is formed, but the lack of teachers, if you can invite talented people to join the team, we work together, the cause will definitely flourish, and it is entirely possible to buy a car and a house in the future. He was pleased with the methodical manner in which he spoke. However, he is not very sure whether he can persuade Lu Xiaobai to join his command, because he knows that this kind of sales method that relies on pulling people's heads is often criticized, and many people avoid it, I don't know if Lu Xiaobai also hates this sales method.
"You have so much confidence in me?" When Lu Xiaobai heard that there was such a good thing, he came to his senses, "But I don't understand, I'm a fledgling, I don't have any social experience, I don't have professional knowledge in this area, you will definitely spend effort to train me, is it worth it for you to do this?" ”
Zeng Jiabao raised his eyebrows: "You are a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, it is a piece of jade, I am willing to gamble on you!" He said this for a reason, not for his words. It turned out that day that he saw Lu Xiaobai confidently rushing to the stage to be a product explainer, he was deeply attracted by Lu Xiaobai's young and handsome appearance, free demeanor and good eloquence, he has been standing there to watch Lu Xiaobai's "performance", the more he watched, the more he liked it, and he finally decided to recruit Lu Xiaobai to contribute to his team.
Lu Xiaobai felt that this platform could exercise his will, improve himself, and more importantly, make money, he believed that he would do better than others, so he agreed; As long as it is profitable, he will also break into the Longtan Tiger's Den, not to mention that it is a mere MLM organization! He is not afraid of others saying that he and Zeng Jiabao are in collusion and are in the same stream, nor are he afraid of being hit and despised by others.
Zeng Jiabao smiled. He has been in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and has gone through countless ups and downs in the world, and people have become exquisite, so every time he does something, he will consider it all, calculate the gains and losses, if there is no profit to be made, he will never do it, he recruited Lu Xiaobai, as if he saw his team growing and banknotes constantly flowing into his pocket.
Zeng Jiabao held up his palm, carefully watched the lines of his palm, and smiled and commented on the love line. Lu Xiaobai said in his heart: I met someone who reads palmistry. He felt awkward for a while, and said that he was thirsty and wanted to drink water, so he broke free of Zeng Jiabao's hand and walked to the side to pour water.
Zeng Jiabao's face sank, but soon returned to normal, he deliberately straightened the collar of his shirt, and then opened the drawer to find a stack of photocopied text materials and handed it to Lu Xiaobai, telling him that these were sales "treasure books", telling him to study hard, master professional knowledge and communication skills, and then step by step towards the hall of lecturers.
Lu Xiaobai put the information in a plastic bag, and then solemnly told Zeng Jiabao that he would not live up to his expectations and would definitely hand in a satisfactory answer sheet within a week. Lu Xiaobai is not blindly confident, boasting of himself, he has a strong memory, all the articles he is interested in, he will recite them after reading them a few times, and he is sure to memorize these written materials in his hand and use them flexibly.
Zeng Jiabao was very happy and decided to invite Lu Xiaobai to dinner. So, they went to a famous local restaurant. Zeng Jiabao chose a quiet and elegant private room. He told Lu Xiaobai that in order to celebrate him becoming his business partner, both of them had to drink today, and it was best to get drunk before resting. They ate first, and after they finished eating, they began to drink, and the atmosphere was lively.
Taking advantage of the wine, Zeng Jiabao told Lu Xiaobai about his emotional experience, he said that he had a relationship when he was twenty years old, and he only talked about it for three months, he never had a wonderful feeling of heartbeat for her, and he didn't know what was going on with him, the girl was very dissatisfied, so he offered to break up with him, he didn't keep her, and they parted ways like this. Later, he didn't take the initiative to find a girl to fall in love with, and he didn't know if he would find a woman in the future.
Lu Xiaobai only listened to Zeng Jiabao's narration at the beginning, and he didn't listen to the later narration at all, because Zeng Jiabao's narration evoked his memories of the past. He thought of his former friend Lin Ruoxi, her beautiful appearance was still vivid, and her brilliant voice seemed to still echo in his ears, this qiē seemed to happen yesterday. He hadn't seen her since he broke up with her when he was kidnapped, and he didn't know where she was now and how she was doing.
Zeng Jiabao saw that Lu Xiaobai's eyes were in a trance, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he knocked on the table with chopsticks, and said a little unhappily: "Are you thinking about your sweetheart?" ”
Lu Xiaobai came back to his senses and said embarrassedly: "No." ”
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Nope."
"Why don't you look for it?"
"I'm not interested in the girls around me."
Indeed, Lu Xiaobai has been in junior high school for three years and technical secondary school for three years, and he has not thought about any girl in school; The lover of his dream is Lin Ruoxi, although he knows that he may not see her in this life and this life, and the tenderness may only be woven into a continuous sorrow, but he can't miss her, he hopes that one day he can meet Lin Ruoxi unexpectedly and cut the candle in the west window. He also fantasized countless times about the wonderful scene of their unexpected encounter: he was walking slowly or quickly on the street, in the bustling crowd, a young girl suddenly looked back, bright eyes and bright teeth, déjà vu, from her gentle eyes, vaguely discerned that she was Lin Ruoxi, who had been separated for many years, at the same time, she was also surprised by his discovery, carefully called out each other's names, and then laughed, because of the unexpected reunion, each other was excited; Or at the exit of a shopping mall, a young and bright girl came to meet him, and attracted his attention because her temperament was too elegant and her appearance was too beautiful, and he recognized her at once, and she also cast a surprised gaze, and looked at each other for a long time
He couldn't remember when he began to have subtle feelings for Lin Ruoxi, maybe from the age of sixteen, maybe from the age of fifteen, maybe even earlier; He is paranoid that Lin Ruoxi is the most beautiful and caring girl in the world, and with her, life will become colorful.
He had gone to Lin Ruoxi alone — it was a sunny morning two months after their breakup — but when he got to the vicinity of her house, he saw a long-arm excavator towering over the ruins spinning the bucket and pushing her house, and in a shrill roar, the walls collapsed and dust flew up.
didn't find Lin Ruoxi, he couldn't help but feel sad and sad, he didn't know where her family had moved, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to see her in the future.
One day, two years later, on his way out of school, he was walking with a classmate. He suddenly saw a face facing the glass window in a bus driving by him was very similar to Lin Ruoxi's face, he timidly called "Lin Ruoxi", even though he realized that his voice was very small, indeed, that face did not react, the face like a painting went farther and farther away, he firmly believed that the person was Lin Ruoxi. He knew that if he missed the opportunity to greet each other this time, he might not have such an opportunity in the future, so he decided to chase the bus. He hurriedly took off his schoolbag and stuffed it indiscriminately with his classmates, and before his classmates could react, he had already run two feet away. He hopes he will be able to catch the bus that stops at the next platform. However, the bus ran as fast as it could, and the distance between it and him grew longer and longer, leaving him far behind. The vigorous running made him pant like a cow, and his speed became slower and slower. He saw the bus pull over for a moment, then drive away again, and quickly disappear without a trace after turning a corner, and he shook his head and sighed as he looked at where the bus had disappeared. However, Lin Ruoxi's appearance lingered in his mind for a long time.
The next day in the classroom, the classmate curiously asked him what he was doing yesterday like crazy chasing the bus, he blushed and quickly lied that he saw his uncle sitting on the bus, so he chased him. The classmate looked at him suspiciously for a moment, but did not ask.
Regarding his acquaintance with Lin Ruoxi, he never mentioned it to anyone.
