Chapter 23: Call Sister Chen Yi
This is the fifth day after I broke off contact with Chen Yi, in these five days many things have not progressed, Luo Sumei still failed to convince Chen Yi's leadership, I also live alone as always, only time is constant, prompting us to eat three meals a day, miss the people we should miss, and then pretend to die again in sleep, but when we wake up, the soul is still the same soul, and the skin is still the same skin!
It was another evening after work, and Luo Sumei boiled bone broth again and asked me to go to the hospital to give it to Lao Jin. Before going, we talked about some work things, and she told me a pretty good news: the pair of customers who were willing to take out 3 million to hold a wedding went to Europe for a vacation, and they didn't particularly care about the progress of our side recently, so this gave us some time to breathe, but when they came back, we would definitely have to do a comprehensive communication with them about the progress of wedding planning.
I sent the bone broth to the hospital, Lao Jin was still lying on the bed watching the life news of Channel 18, I put the bone broth on the cabinet at the head of his bed, he handed me a cigarette, asked me to sit down and chat with him, I thought: He should be holding eggs in the hospital recently.
His topics were still so limited, and he asked me, "Jiangqiao, is the company still operating normally recently?" What are the comments from customers about the previous weddings? ”
"With the boss lady here, you can rest assured, everything in the company is normal, much better than when you were there!"
"You little bitch, why do I listen to you like a squeeze on me?"
"It's not a run, you said that we are a wedding company, and we can more or less occupy the top of culture and humanities, but you stare at people at every turn and scold, the company must have been made by you to have no cultural atmosphere at all, right? I can say that in the wedding industry, our company has the least corporate culture. ”
I thought that by such a squeeze by myself, Lao Jin would scold me like thunder, but as a result, he just lit a cigarette in silence, and only replied after a while: "Maybe I have delayed the development of the company for so many years, and every time I go to a meeting in the industry with the CEOs of other wedding companies, I feel that I am too inferior in concept!" ”
Looking at Lao Jin's lost appearance, I felt a little unbearable, but I didn't know how to comfort him, because what he can realize now is the biggest illness of our company. Actually, this is not a bad thing, because it is already a lot of progress for him to realize and reflect at this moment.
Lao Jin snuffed out the cigarette that he only took two puffs, smiled again and said: "Fortunately, Jin Qiu is about to get a master's degree, and when she returns to China, I will hand over the company to her. ”
"Mr. Jin, it's too big for you to let Jin Qiu take over a company like a small workshop like ours, right?"
Lao Jin was furious this time, and scolded with a slashed face: "You know a fart, Jin Qiu is my girl, her future is not arranged by me, is it difficult for you Jiangqiao to arrange it?" …… You roll the calf for me! ”
I took a step back and scolded back: "You broke your leg, and you didn't come to the eldest aunt, why did you lose your temper so much?" …… Say that you are a cultural person, and what about your humanistic feelings? ”
……
After leaving the hospital, I returned to Tulip Road, where I lived, only to find that the Mercedes-Benz AMGC65 that Xiao Ai lent me last time was parked in an open space at the entrance of the alley.
I quickened my pace and walked towards my residence, to my surprise: at this time, the iron lock on the courtyard door had been opened, I pushed the door open, Xiao Ai was in the small courtyard, leisurely holding a watering can to help water my flowers.
I couldn't help but ask, "How did you open the lock?" ”
"Didn't I get your key last time, so I got one on the way...... You know, I'm not always in the mood to climb over the walls of your yard. ”
"It's so fresh, it's the first time I've heard that I'm going to be in the mood for climbing over the courtyard wall!"
"I'm just a person who lives for the mood, I need a mood when I scold you, and I need a mood when I'm good to you."
I glanced at her disdainfully, and replied: "Your character is honest when you say it sounds good, and you are willful when you say it is ugly!" ”
She ignored me, just reversed the position of the two pots of flowers in front of her, and began to water the kettle again, while I placed my briefcase on the stone table and asked her again, "Why are you in the mood to come to me today?" ”
She replied lightly: "Please go to 1912 (a very famous bar street in Nanjing) for a drink." ”
"Not today, I'm going to pick up Zhao Mu at the train station later, he will arrive around 7 o'clock."
She was not dissatisfied with my refusal, but said to me with great interest: "It just so happens that I drove the car today, I'll go with you to pick him up." ”
"If you don't want to be troublesome, I can't ask for it."
……
On the way to the train station, I drove the million-dollar luxury car, and Xiao Ai sat in the co-pilot's seat, so as not to make the atmosphere too dull, I chatted with her again, and I asked her, "Why did you drive your friend's car out again today?" ”
She asked rhetorically, "Why do you need a reason for everything you do?" I can open it if I want to. ”
I smiled and replied, "No, don't be busy questioning me yet, I just found a business opportunity." ”
"What business opportunity?"
"Now is the peak season for marriage, the supply of wedding cars exceeds demand, basically the rental price has doubled compared with the off-season, I happen to have a lot of customer resources here, with the current market price, your friend's million-level Mercedes-Benz car, the rental price of 8 hours a day is at least not less than 1800 yuan...... Isn't it exciting? When the time comes, you just need to give me 200 yuan as an intermediary fee! ......" The more I talked, the more excited I became, and I started chattering.
"You seem to be very wealthy, huh?"
I replied smugly: "I don't usually have any idea of making money, isn't this driving this luxury Mercedes-Benz car, and my horizons are suddenly broadened!" ”
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested."
I was a little anxious, raised my tone and said, "You stupid! That's 18,000 yuan in 10 days...... 18,000 bucks! What is this concept? That's enough for you to live on for a year! Speaking of the excitement, I stopped, looked at her suspiciously, and asked, "Are you not short of money?" …… I suspect the car is actually your own. ”
Xiao Ai scolded me very shamelessly: "Do you have neuropathy and paranoia?" ”
"I don't have neurosis and I don't have paranoia, it's just that you behave too abnormally, if I were a student, I would be happy to make 18,000 yuan in 10 days!"
Xiao Ai made a motion to collapse from the car seat, and said "in a panic": "Oh my God, 18,000 yuan!" No more...... No, my feet are weak! ……”
"It's a bit too contrived!"
Xiao Ai glared at me, and then replied: "I said that it was my friend's car, and I had no problem driving it, but what is it to make money at the wedding?" …… So it's not that I'm abnormal, it's that you're bewitched by money and don't want to use your brain, if this car is my own, I'm idle anyway, and I can make so much money, why don't I want to? ”
I was speechless by her very logical words, and I couldn't help but be a little disappointed in my heart, because this October Golden Week, but the most business opportunities to tap, and I have such customer resources, so this Mercedes-Benz I am driving, can not be mined in my hands to add value is indeed a pity!
……
After a while, I finally arrived at the train station, Xiao Ai and I parked the car in the parking lot, and greeted Zhao Mu who was about to return to Nanjing at the exit of the station.
After waiting for about ten minutes, I finally saw Zhao Mu walking towards us with a blue backpack on his back, I beckoned to him, and he came to my side with some bookish smiles.
I had a strong hug with him, patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "I haven't seen you for half a year, you are handsome again, a bit of a business elite!" ”
Zhao Mu hugged me again and said with a smile: "Brother Qiao, you are not bad, you are becoming more and more chic and dignified!" ”
Xiao Ai, who had not spoken, finally opened his mouth at this time: "I have never seen two people boasting to each other like this, don't you feel panicked at all?" ”
Zhao Mu let go of me, looked at Xiao Ai, and suddenly became shy, he didn't respond to Xiao Ai's words, but asked me, "Brother Qiao, who is she?" Do you know each other? ”
I smiled, I can understand his shyness in my heart, he has only cared about his studies all these years, and basically does not interact with girls, and suddenly sees such a beautiful girl from the art academy, of course, he will behave at a loss, and the reason why I am very indifferent is because I have to do all kinds of weddings every year, and deal with all kinds of people, among which there is no lack of strange, beautiful, handsome, difficult, I have been able to cope with it easily, so when Xiao Ai appeared in my life in a very alternative way, I can accept it with a peaceful or "playful" mentality.
I then introduced Xiao Ai to Zhao Mu, this time, Xiao Ai didn't show too indifference, took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Zhao Mu, and said: "My name is Xiao Ai, barely a friend of Jiang Qiao, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Zhao Mu was a little embarrassed and shook Xiao Ai's hand, and replied in a very stiff tone: "I...... Me too. ”
As if to make Zhao Mu more relaxed, Xiao Ai said very jumpingly: "Actually, we have already talked about it......"
Zhao Mu didn't know that on my birthday, it was Xiao Ai who used my mobile phone to chat with him, he looked at Xiao Ai with some confusion, and I didn't bother to explain this inconsequential matter, so I put my arm on Zhao Mu's shoulder and said, "Brother will pick you up today, just say what you want to eat." ”
But he didn't want Zhao Mu to reply: "Brother Qiao, I'll call Sister Chen Yi first, she said that she is free tonight, let's call her too." ”
I could feel that my complexion suddenly became ugly, and then I entered a state of confusion, and for a moment, I didn't know how to reply to Zhao Mu
