Chapter 101: I apologize to you
The next day, when I woke up, Chen Yi had already left, and she still had to fight for her work. Even when I woke up, I didn't want to get up right away, I just looked at the ceiling of the roof with the most conscious consciousness and thought about something, what I experienced last night.
On the sofa, Chen Yi had already folded the duvet she slept on last night, and there was a long hair on the pillow, I finally overcame the laziness of not wanting to leave the quilt, got up and picked up the long black hair from the pillow, and then put it in my hand to watch. In my memory, Chen Yi seems to have not dyed her hair for many years, but she has always taken good care of her hair, she is the kind of woman who has almost no flaws in the details of life, which is the most objective evaluation I give her as a man who has known her for more than 20 years.
But this kind of zero flaw is exactly the pressure I have at the moment, and when we really become a couple, this contrast makes me ashamed of myself
I took out the red envelope that my grandmother gave me during the Chinese New Year from the bedside, and then carefully distributed the hair into it, I wanted to keep it, if one day I had to leave Nanjing, I could not take anything with me, but this one would not be left behind. I never want to forget Chen Yi in my memory, I hope that no matter how far I go, I will have her mark by my side.
It's just that there are still regrets in this morning after waking up, I didn't make a breakfast for Chen Yi by myself, and the only thing I can do now is to take care of her life.
Leaving my accommodation, I went to the "Mood Café" and started my day's work. In the afternoon, a young customer in a suit and leather shoes came to the shop and asked for the owner of the coffee shop, and I received him.
After introducing myself, I learned about his intention, it turned out that he saw the video I made for Jin Qiu's wedding company on the Internet, recently he has been thinking about proposing to his girlfriend who has been in love for 2 years, so he wants to have a special proposal ceremony with me here, he likes the courtship wall in our store with more than 100 languages to express "I love you".
This was the first client to come in, and I took it very seriously, and immediately said that I would help him plan a memorable marriage proposal ceremony for him and his girlfriend, and then brought him to the wedding company in Jinqiu. He said that if the proposal is successful on our side, the wedding will be prepared immediately, and the wedding company in Jinqiu is of course the first choice.
After that, the client and Jin Qiu probably talked about their intentions, he himself is a professional manager, his girlfriend is an opera singer, and the economic conditions of both of them are good, so the budget for the wedding will reach 500,000, which is also a big customer for Jin Qiu.
After seeing off the client, Jin Qiu and I lit a cigarette each and chatted
Jin Qiu was in a good mood, and said to me with a smile: "Jiang Qiao, we fought the lawsuit with Li Zishan, although it was very risky, but I have a strong premonition, this time we will have an unexpected harvest Let me tell you, at first I thought that as a wedding company and a customer lawsuit, other wedding companies would take advantage of the opportunity to fall into the ground, but more than half of the peers publicly issued a statement to express their support for us." I think that everyone has suffered a lot of losses from high-end customers over the years, and I hope that there will be a strong voice in the industry to strive for reasonable interests for the entire industry and the market. ”
I nodded, at first when I suggested that Jin Qiu and Li Zishan go to court, I always judged this matter with an optimistic attitude, because I have been in this industry all these years, and those wedding companies that have suffered losses on high-end customers are not one or two, but because they have the same concerns as Jin Qiu, everyone chose to swallow their anger. At this time, someone representing the industry and fighting a lawsuit with those unreasonable customers is actually an urgent need, so even if this matter is not done in the golden autumn, sooner or later someone else will do it, because where there is oppression, there will be resistance.
"Jiang Qiao, I have to admit that experience is a very important thing, and you understand the current situation of the wedding industry more deeply than me, so you have the confidence to suggest that I go to a lawsuit with Li Zishan."
I smiled and replied: "Actually, your personal courage plays a greater role in this matter, why for so many years, everyone is willing to suffer losses rather than litigate with major customers, the root cause is the lack of courage, you Jinqiu is really ruthless in doing things, if your father Lao Jin deals with this matter, even if I wear out my mouth, he still chooses to swallow his anger 100%"
Jin Qiu responded with a smile and said to me: "By the way, since that video was reposted by Chen Yi and Yuan Zhen's Weibo, it has been reposted more than 5,000 times by other Weibo users, and even WeChat's circle of friends has been forwarded. We didn't pay much attention to the lawsuit, but we had a strong resonance with the weddings we had done, so much so that many people recently called the company to make an appointment with us, hoping to hand over their wedding to our company to execute, which was a very successful emotional marketing, so I am also ready to take this opportunity to adjust the company's strategy, this year or even next year will not be too radical to focus on the high-end wedding market, I want to take advantage of this wave of enthusiasm, to understand the local wedding service industry"
After a pause, she looked at me very sincerely, and said again: "Jiang Qiao, this matter really made me gain a lot, I think, sometimes a high degree really does not necessarily mean anything, and people's experience and logical thinking will really guide people to make the most correct judgment I apologize to you for my previous behavior." ”
I took a puff of my cigarette and looked at Jin Qiu again. Maybe the terrible thing about this woman is not the ruthlessness in her, but her resilience and her vision. She will take the initiative to collect all kinds of information and change her shortcomings after analysis, which is the most valuable trait of a businessman, she is not as proud as she imagined.
I finally shook my head and replied, "You don't have to apologize to me, in fact, you also gave me a chance to see the world more comprehensively, anyway, I will have to leave the wedding company sooner or later." ”
"Well, I'm sure you'll make a difference, and you'll die for anything like that."
"I love to hear that."
After saying this, Jin Qiu and I looked at each other and smiled, and in her smile, I seemed to feel that we gradually returned to the state of getting along before she went to study abroad, and maybe we will be like a pair of confidants, chatting about each other's opinions and feelings that we are unwilling to share with the world.
After leaving Jin Qiu's company, I returned to Tulip Road, and then bought some vegetables at the vegetable market at the intersection, and I was going to cook a good meal for Chen Yi tonight to make up for the dinner I ruined last night when I was not calm.
Carrying a basket of vegetables, I walked down the street with a lot of snowdrifts, and then habitually walked along and looked around, I really liked the tulip road before night, because the lights would wrap around the pedestrians, creating a peaceful and prosperous scene, and it would make people feel that this is not a neighborhood on the edge of the city, and we, as residents, have never been forgotten by the city.
Ahead, the crowd was very densely gathered, and it seemed that someone was performing street performances, which is extremely rare on Tulip Road, so I decided to join in the excitement and squeezed into the crowd with a food basket
The first thing I saw was Xiao Ai, at this moment, she was wearing a thin white down jacket, sitting next to a black electronic piano, and all the members of the band built by Yuan Zhen were standing next to her, but not Yuan Zhen himself, and they formed a temporary street band with Xiao Ai. I know they're here to cheer for Xiao Ai's "Bridge Music Workshop".
I looked around again, there were a lot of people gathered at the scene, mainly young men, their eyes were all focused on Xiao Ai's body, they were amazed by her appearance, and Xiao Ai is such a girl, she seems to have a natural magnetic field on her body.
My eyes also fell on her with everyone, maybe because the weather after the snow was too cold, she took advantage of the fact that the performance had not started, took out a black scarf from her bag and wrapped it around her neck, so her skin was fairer, and the two chic blue studs on her ears made her look a little cold, and she was wearing some light makeup today.
Xiao Ai picked up a thermos cup from under the piano stand under the gaze of everyone, drank a sip of hot water, coughed lightly and said to the onlookers: "Good evening everyone, my name is Xiao Ai, I opened a piano shop on this tulip road, mainly training and selling musical instruments, if you are interested in letting your children get in touch with music, come to our bridge music workshop to learn, I will teach it well"
The beautiful girl is cute, she just said this simply, and before she started the official performance, many people applauded and cheered for her.
At this time, a faint scent of shampoo blew in the wind, I was very familiar with it, so I subconsciously turned my head to look and found that Chen Yi was standing beside me wearing a mask and a white jumpsuit, and she actually left work early today. As far back as I can remember, she had never been back before eight o'clock in the last week, and now it's only five o'clock.
My mood suddenly changed very subtly, I was very reluctant for Chen Yi and Xiao Ai to appear on the same occasion, I knew that I did something to Xiao Ai last night that I shouldn't have done, when they stood together at such a close distance, it was the heaviest judgment for me, although Xiao Ai didn't know the existence of me and Chen Yi at this moment.
Just as I was about to leave with Chen Yi, she looked at Xiao Ai and asked me, "Does their school have a charity performance?"
"No, she opened a piano shop here, and she was doing publicity."
After I finished speaking, Chen Yi's eyes were fixed on the billboard of "Bridge Music Workshop" behind the band, and then asked me, "Why did she drive the piano shop here?"
"The cost of rent here is definitely much lower than where she lives, and there are many schools and residents in the main vicinity, so it's a good place to do training." I replied truthfully, and Tulip Road is indeed a very cost-effective place to do training, and many training institutions with a keen sense of smell have set up branches here this year.
Chen Yi didn't ask any more, she stood very firmly on the scene and listened to a song before leaving with me, and Xiao Ai didn't find out about our existence from beginning to end, but my mood didn't ease because of this state of meeting but not intersecting, I was ashamed of these two women, I didn't feel good at all, but I had to treat it as if nothing had happened, because I was too afraid of losing
