Chapter 167: Dinner with Shen Man
Lin Xi's sudden question left me speechless for a long time, and even she herself was shocked, this is really a topic that should not be discussed.
I put the hangover tea back on the coffee table, shrank down, picked up the blanket, and covered my face as if I was paralyzed on the couch.
"Hey, Zhang Yixi, can you not pretend to be dead!" Lin Xi shook my body.
"Don't shake, I'm dizzy......"
Lin Xi pretended to be very cautious and asked me: "Is my question too lethal and makes you dizzy?" ”
"I warn you not to ask!" I lifted the blanket over my face again and made a gesture to Lin Xi to stop.
"I'm going to ask you how?"
"I'm really playing dead to show you!"
Lin Xi couldn't help laughing: "Every time I drink too much, I look stupid....... Rest for you, I won't bother you. ”
"Walk slowly, don't send." I said to Lin Xi with a sigh of relief.
.......
After Lin Xi left, I couldn't fall asleep, and I even asked myself on behalf of Lin Xi: What kind of feelings do I have for Chen Qingyi?
In fact, I can't describe it at all, although Chen Qingyi and I haven't known each other for a long time, but we have experienced a lot of ups and downs together, her help to me, her care and consideration for me, I don't think I dare to forget it in my life, but this kind of not forgetting, is it love? I don't understand, but in my heart I care about this woman who always gives me warmth.
In the continuous divergence of thinking, I thought of Zuo Lan, is there a possibility, Chen Qingyi is like Qi Dong to Zuo Lan, they have one thing in common, they all pay with warmth regardless of return.
I immediately terminated the idea because it was too dangerous for me.
.......
According to the pre-arrangement, Han Feng and I will stay in Nantong for 3 days this time, in addition to participating in the opening ceremony of the "Fat Stall", we will also have to inspect the market environment in Nantong in order to determine how the "Xiluo Men's Goods Store" will be rebuilt.
The next day, Han Feng and I revisited the four stores in our Xiluo, except for the store in the university town that was bought by Chen Qingyi and Lin Xi, the rest of the stores have been occupied, which makes us feel a little depressed, after all, we have put too much effort into "Xiluo".
In the course of the investigation, we learned that the "Rossi Men's Products Store" that once copied us is now doing well in Nantong, and has now made 5 branches, and the business is very good, although we are still not sure whether the original batch of smuggled goods was deliberately framed by them, but it is imperative to bring them down.
Han Feng and I found a teahouse on the side of the road, and the two of us discussed the reconstruction of Xiluo.
Han Feng poured a cup of tea for me and himself, and said, "If you want to rebuild Xiluo, there are two problems that must be solved...... First, we had a serious after-sales accident before, and the store image no longer exists, what means will we use to reshape the image? Second, that copycat our store, now in Nantong is doing very well, if we reopen, I believe that many consumers will think that we are copying them, how should this be solved? ”
I pressed my temples, thought for a moment and said, "These two questions are really tricky...... After a pause, I changed my sitting position, lit a cigarette and said: "We can do this, and in the future, every product sold by Ciro will be given a safety insurance to show consumers our determination to make product quality...... In addition, some money can not be saved, and we will give a sincere gift to the consumers who have applied for our Ciro membership card....... On the question of who is a copycat, we must not avoid this, first upgrade the store, pattern management, the introduction of some high-end big brands into the store, no matter how numb consumers are, they will not think that a store that does high-end brands imitates a civilian store. ”
Han Feng nodded and said, "Yes, it's very targeted, Zhang Yixi really admires your ability to gain insight into the market and analyze consumer psychology!" ”
I shook my head, took a puff of my cigarette, and still felt guilty about my mistake in management at the beginning, and I said to Han Feng for a long time: "Let's go to Sister-in-law Luo's house in the afternoon and pick up Sister-in-law Luo to see Brother Luo." ”
"Hmm." Han Feng nodded in agreement, but his face was heavy.
.......
In the prison visitation room, me, Han Feng, and Sister-in-law Luo faced Brother Luo...... Han Feng and I were in a heavy mood, but Sister-in-law Luo naturally chatted with Brother Luo, and after a while, she said to me and Han Feng: "I'll go out to breathe, you can talk to Lao Luo." ”
Han Feng and I nodded, and Sister-in-law Luo looked at us and smiled and left..... Han Feng and I knew that from the moment we entered the prison room, Sister-in-law Luo was unwilling to show her sadness, which increased the guilt of me and Han Feng.
Han Feng and I said almost at the same time, "Brother Luo, how are you doing?" ”
"I have never been so quiet in my life as I am now, the previous days were counting, staying up, and now I am shaking, it's really relaxing! ...... Don't talk about me, talk about you, how is your career lately? ”
Han Feng took the words: "Brother Luo, Zhang Yixi is terrible now, he has created one business miracle after another in the past six months, and now he is not only the major shareholder of Seaview Coffee, but also set up his own studio and company, which has solved the employment problem of many college students, and now these students call him the godfather of entrepreneurship!" ”
"Good..... Good..... I knew I couldn't be wrong! Brother Luo said repeatedly, his voice trembling with excitement in his smile.
I kept my head down for a long time before I raised my head and said to Brother Luo, "Brother Luo, Han Feng and I have already discussed rebuilding Xiluo...... Your suffering will not be in vain! When you leave here, I'll hand you the most complete Ciro! ”
Brother Luo nodded, but couldn't say a word, I understood that this silence was a burst of anticipation in heaviness......
......
After leaving the prison, it was already sunset, and I received a call from Shen Man, who asked me to get together, and I would go back to Jinan tomorrow.
In a restaurant we used to go to, Shen Man and I sat opposite each other, and after a period of silence, I finally spoke: "What about the prince, why didn't he come?" ”
"Accompany a few foreign customers to dinner tonight."
"Oh...... Why didn't you go? ”
"Not bad this time." Shen Man said and poured himself a glass of liquor, took a sip, but the cup was already empty.
I looked at Shen Man, but I didn't know what to say.
"Why don't you drink...... In the past, when we had a meeting, you weren't always the best at making noise. Shen Man looked at me with a smile, but her face couldn't hide her tiredness, I know that in the recent past, she has been exhausted for the affairs of the prince's company, and such a big hole needs to be filled, but she has always been just a woman, she has lived a very hard life over the years, it used to be for me, and now it is for the prince.......
I poured the wine in the cup full, raised my head and drank dry, poured another glass for myself, and continued to drink it all, drinking three glasses in a row before stopping, but Shen Man did not stop, and also accompanied me to drink three glasses, as if I hadn't drunk together for a long time, to try my alcohol consumption, I remember that in the past, I always bragged in front of her to drink her three.
