Chapter 42: The Old Man Came
What the shopping guide gave me was a dress with a see-through effect, lined like a bikini, covered with a hollow effect ** and tulle. I raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure you want me to wear this?" ”
"If you like it, you can buy it, and just wear it to me when you go home." Qiao Yichen's expression was obviously saying that he was very satisfied with this.
"Huh." I gave him a roll of the eye and turned my face to the side.
"This one and this one, take my girlfriend's number." Qiao Yichen ordered two dresses, one black and one white, both of which were conservative in style, but the designs were very chic: "Choose another one you like." ”
"No." I shook my head.
"Are you sure?" Qiao Yichen's smile was a little meaningful.
"Sure." I had a bad feeling but nodded.
Qiao Yichen pointed to the see-through dress: "And this one." ”
"I don't want this!" What do you do when you buy this kind of clothes, and you feel cold when you look at them.
"I think it's not bad to oppose invalidity." Qiao Yichen handed over the card and signed it in a chic manner.
Qiao Yichen took me from the third floor to the fifth floor, and bought me two pairs of shoes and a bag before stopping. I wear high heels to work, although it is not 14m high like Tang Yuqi, and it is also 6m to walk around such a big lap and my feet really hurt.
"Let's go over there and sit down for a moment." I pointed to the cold drink shop in the corner of the mall.
"Hmm."
We walked in, found a random table by the window and sat down, and the waiter brought two glasses of mineral water and a water card.
"I want a cup of lemon tea." I glanced at the water sign, and there was nothing in particular I wanted to drink.
"Just like her." Qiao Yichen didn't even bother to look at the water cards.
I moved my feet unnaturally under the table, and Qiao Yichen glanced at it: "Are the shoes uncomfortable, I'll buy a few pairs later." ”
"You can......'t wear any shoes other than sneakers," I said, grabbing a sip of mineral water.
"Then buy a pair of sneakers." Qiao Yichen glanced outside, and his eyes became sharper.
I followed his gaze - Rong Qingqian came out of a shop with a noble lady in his arms, and the two of them were talking and laughing, and they seemed to be very close. They followed their entourage, carrying several shopping bags in their hands. I almost know all the people in the Rong family, but I haven't seen the woman Rong Qingqian is holding in front of me, so she shouldn't be a relative of the Rong family.
Qiao Yichen withdrew his gaze, and I didn't look at it again, but turned on my phone to look at the cost table that Song Yuan found for me. The municipal side naturally hopes that Yingjia can do more greening and occupy less land, but the company also needs to make a profitable budget, and in any case, the project is to maximize the benefits. I gave the PD a keypad, which was very easy to use, and I quickly made an accounting comparison.
"You have to tell me a bottom line, and I won't talk to people until tomorrow." I showed the finished form to Qiao Yichen.
"I want this, but it's unlikely, this is the bottom line." Qiao Yichen's slender fingertips pointed at the two sets of data I made.
"Understood." I nodded, deposited the form, and turned off my tablet.
"So you can do things anywhere, no wonder you want this." Qiao Yichen smiled and played with the PD that Xiaoxiang bought for me.
"I don't have to work at VGU, and I get used to it by mail." I think work is mainly about efficiency, and it's too boring to sit in the office every day and spend time.
"With your ability, it is more than enough to be an executive in a large group, and you should be able to get a lot of annual salary, why do you keep being drunk in the frost forest?" Qiao Yichen's gaze locked on my face, and his expression was rare and solemn.
"Because...... How can you work for others and have the freedom to be your own boss, and you don't delay the daytime when you are drunk and do night games. "I gave Qiao Yichen a high-sounding reason.
The world is so big and there are so many businesses that can be done, why am I so drunk in the frost forest? There is only one answer, the frost forest drunk is the only remaining industry after Jingrong's bankruptcy, I always feel that as long as this industry is kept, most of my father's life's hard work has not been in vain - the frost forest drunk in my heart is the continuation of Jingrong, as long as the frost forest is drunk, Jingrong has not completely disappeared from this world; If Jingrong does not fall, the Jing family does not fall; If the Jing family does not fall, Jing Fengbai will not fall. This may be all I can do for my father and the Jing family.
"What's next?" Qiao Yichen suddenly changed the subject.
"Didn't you go to the movies?" I'm afraid that Qiao Yichen will have to buy and buy, so I just stuffed him into the cinema.
Since it was not the peak time for movie-watching, there were not many people in the cinema, and there was no film that I particularly wanted to see, so I chose the nearest screening. The film is quite literary and artistic, the protagonist works tirelessly for his dreams, gains some things and loses some things. The film feels very comfortable, and I prefer its theme song -
Walked through the people coming and going
If you don't like it, you have to appreciate it
I am a silent being
Not when your world
Do only your shoulder......
"Can you cry when you watch this kind of film? I'm really convinced of you......" Qiao Yichen wrapped me into his arms, and his warm fingertips lifted the tears from the corners of my eyes. Sometimes being touched is just a momentary thing, because the empathy of a scene or even a sentence hits the most vulnerable link in my heart.
I also felt ashamed and hung my head and didn't speak. Qiao Yichen sighed lightly: "Jing Xin, you have tightened your heart too tightly......"
My body tensed up in the dark, and I thought Qiao Yichen would say something more, but he didn't. All the things I told Qiao Yichen about the Jing family today were reserved, and Qiao Yichen would not be able to see it, and he didn't dig into it. I thought he didn't care, but it turned out that he was waiting, waiting for me to tell him everything.
Yesterday I skipped work in the afternoon, I thought that Tang Yuqi was going to find another reason to question me, but I didn't expect the morning to be very peaceful. I made an appointment with the municipal government at 4 p.m., and I took Song Yuan and a colleague from the planning department to the appointment.
"Hello Mayor Yao." I have met several times with Vice Mayor Yao, who is in charge of municipal construction, and after the re-election of the municipal party committee, I have hosted several major leaders in the name of frost and forest drunkenness. doesn't have any face at all, such as Li Xin. But there are a few who are happy to go to the appointment, and this one is among them.
"Miss Jing, long time no see." Yao Wei smiled and invited us to sit down.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and it's also because Mayor Yao is busy with expensive things." I also politely greeted him.
"Isn't that mine?" Yao Wei asked the secretary to serve tea.
After a few words of gossip, the book is back to business, helping the municipal government to do greening this is very powerful, the other party is quite willing to talk, but in the length of the green belt and the translation of the land occupied by the issue, we are all baht, it is difficult to negotiate for a while.
"Mayor Yao's conditions are too harsh, we have to cry." Yao Wei almost bit Qiao Yichen's bottom line.
"Then I'll give in a little more." Yao Wei gave another set of data.
"Mayor Yao, your figure is twice our budget, it's difficult to do now, and we will definitely not be able to pass it on Mr. Qiao's side." I smiled and shook my head.
"Yao and Miss Jing are also old friends, I don't know what Mr. Qiao's estimate is?" Yao Wei continued to probe.
I wrote a string of numbers on the paper, and Yao Wei shook his head: "This is too little." ”
After some haggling, the final figure was one million higher than Qiao Yichen's best expectation, but much lower than the bottom line he set. In order not to make Yao Wei feel that he was being swept away, I still said lightly: "This number is still very high, I can't be the master, let our designer talk to Mayor Yao about the planning of the greening part." I'll go ask Mr. Qiao for instructions. ”
"Miss Jing, please."
I took Song Yuan to stand in the corridor for a while, and then went back to sign the relevant documents.
"It's a pleasure to work with." I shook Yao Wei's hand: "I will ask Mayor Yao to take care of me in the future." ”
"That's easy to say."
Yao Wei asked the secretary to send us out, and the three of us were relieved when we got in the car.
"Sister Xin, you can really do it." Song Yuan looked at me with admiration: "If I estimated that I would surrender in the third round, I didn't expect you to take me out to breathe in the end, I was really afraid that he would regret it as soon as he stopped......"
"Negotiation is psychological warfare, and the more stable you are, the better your chances of winning. If he agreed, even if he signed, he felt that he had a loss, and he would find a way to make up for it. The other party is an official and we are the people, and if they want to force us to comply, it's just a matter of moving a little hand. I sighed.
"Oh...... "The other party is not the deputy mayor, why do you keep hearing you call Mayor Yao?"
"Every deputy hopes that he will have a day when he becomes a regular, just a title, why not do it if he can please him." I don't have any eyesight at all, I've really honed it in vain in the past few years when I've been drunk in the frost forest.
It's already off work at this point, and Song Yuan's house is not far from here, so I sent her home first.
The designer sent by the planning department has not talked much except about planning, and at first I was afraid that Lu Zihangyin would send me a person to hold back, but I didn't expect this person to be quite reliable.
"Where are you going, I'll send you first." The car is sent by the company, and I do this kind of favor, which is to take more time to come in.
The other party reported an address, and just sent someone to Qiao Yichen's phone and came over. I've already sent him the data that was finally negotiated, and I don't know what instructions the big BSS has now: "Hey." ”
"Home?"
"Not yet, the others who sent it first." I answered truthfully.
"Well, there's the demeanor of a proprietress hostess." Before I could tease a few words, Qiao Yichen spoke again: "Let the driver take you to Banyan Tree, there is an important investor, and the documents you just signed back are very convincing." ”
"Okay."
The driver sent me to Banyan Tree, and to my surprise, Qiao Yichen actually asked Zhen Yu to wait for me at the door of the hotel. On the way to the private room, Zhen Yu told me about the president of the investor - this is a young and promising investment company managed by Fang, although it has risen recently, it is well-known in the industry. Although he is in a high position, he is very low-key and rarely comes forward to socialize. He didn't take advantage of his wealth and wine, and lived like a puritan.
Zhen Yu finally concluded: "This person is so cold, Qiao always feels a headache, and he doesn't know where to start if he wants to win over." "Zhen Yu has a lot of words today, maybe I have basically solved the big trouble of Junchi, and I think I am better than the 'vase'.
The private rooms of Banyan Tree are all gorgeous, and the one Qiao Yichen ordered today is particularly splendid, and except for Qiao Yichen, who is accompanied by senior executives above the director, it is enough to see that the guests of the banquet have a pivotal status. When my eyes fell on the guest of honor who was said by Zhen Yu to be extraordinarily cold, I was very, very surprised to see people.
