Chapter 827: Maverick (Part II)
(a)
Boss Xu, before he became independent and started a company, has been a capable leader in Kaohsiung for many years. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he admires Kaohsiung's business ability very much, and his relationship with Kaohsiung has always been very good.
It was Kaohsiung who encouraged him to go out and start his own business independently, and it was Kaohsiung who provided him with the initial start-up capital, and Kaohsiung also introduced him to the first batch of customers, and ensured that he had related party transactions all the time, laying the foundation for his initial profits. It can be said that without Kaohsiung, there would be no Boss Xu today.
Boss Xu has always been full of gratitude, taking Kaohsiung as his teacher, and if he encounters any problems in the operation, he will come to Kaohsiung for advice. The relationship between them is not only a friend, but also a master and apprentice.
During this period of time, Boss Xu looked very haggard. One of his large branches had serious problems with one of its main businesses and could no longer function.
With a glimmer of hope, he specially invited Kaohsiung to his office, wanting to hear Kaohsiung's advice. He hoped, or, with Kaohsiung's boldness, he could find a solution to the problem.
It happened that I had just flown to Kaohsiung that day, and I had something to discuss with him. Kaohsiung picked me up at the airport and drove me directly to Boss Xu's company with him.
I said, "I'd better call a car to the hotel by myself, I don't know Boss Xu very well, if I'm there, it's not convenient for you to talk." ”
Kaohsiung said: "We are not discussing the robbery of the bank, what is inconvenient. It's better for you to be there and listen to it, just to learn how to do business. ”
I said, "This will make Boss Xu embarrassed, right?" ”
Kaohsiung said: "He has long been used to it. ”
I said, "Habit what?" ”
Kaohsiung gritted his teeth and said, "When I am used to talking about things, I always have a beautiful woman by my side." ”
I gritted my teeth and said hatefully, "You are also married, and you always speak so undignified. I'm not the kind of beauty that haunts you. ”
Kaohsiung said, "Yes." You're the kind of beauty who often thinks of me as a hooligan. ”
He said: "I'm in a hurry, I won't stop. If you have to go, jump out of the car. ”
I pursed my lips and stopped rambling with him.

Mr. Xu's office.
Boss Xu really seems to be used to Kaohsiung haunting the business with all kinds of women, he has no resistance to my appearance, and he doesn't care about my existence when he speaks, as if I am a big vase in this room.
He invited us to a seat, served us new tea, and began to talk to Kaohsiung about the current troubles of his branch.
After talking about the predicament faced by the branch, Boss Xu looked at Kaohsiung expectantly. He said, "How?" Pull a brother? Give me an idea to save this business? ”
Kaohsiung's gaze looked past his face and saw behind him.
Boss Xu followed Kaohsiung's gaze, turned around, and saw a pot of green plants behind him, which was a fortune tree. The leaves of the plant are a little dry and curly. Some of the leaves hang crumblingly from the branches. There were a few pieces of dirt that had fallen into the pot.
Kaohsiung said: "You pot of fortune tree, the leaves have fallen. ”
Boss Xu said: "I haven't been in the office for a few days, and I forgot to tell them to come in and water it." ”
Kaohsiung said: "All these leaves have fallen, is it okay?" ”
Boss Xu was stunned for a moment and said, "What's wrong with this?" Water a little and new leaves will grow. Big deal, just change the pot. ”
Boss Xu was anxious to hear Kaohsiung's opinion, and was a little impatient that he cared so much about Yezi.
Kaohsiung laughed and said, "So, it's not a problem for you?" ”
Boss Xu said: "Of course it's not a problem. ”
Kaohsiung said: "Surely you won't feel pain because of this? ”
Boss Xu said: "Of course it's not painful. But you haven't answered my questions, and it's painful for me. ”
Kaohsiung said, "I'm just answering your question." ”
Kaohsiung said: "Your branch business is like this potted plant, it grows when there is enough sun and water. Now that the sunlight is gone, and the water source is depleted, of course it will fall and die, just like the plant. ”
Kaohsiung said: "If you think that it should be like this, in fact, it is nothing, its withering, it is impossible to have the power to make you haggard." ”
Boss Xu was stunned again. This time, I was stunned for a few seconds. Then, he kind of reacted.
He said, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”
Kaohsiung said: "Treat those businesses like the leaves of this potted plant." ”
Kaohsiung said, "Let it die." ”
Kaohsiung said: "Do you have a better solution to what is inevitable than to accept it happily? ”
Speaking of this, Kaohsiung turned his head, looked at me, and said, "Is there one?" ”
Boss Xu sat there, thoughtful.
Kaohsiung stood up, reached out and patted him on the shoulder. Kaohsiung said, "Let it die." ”
Kaohsiung said: "If you are willing to let it die, there will be no problem." ”
Kaohsiung said: "This is my way. ”
Kaohsiung looked back at me and said, "The problem is that when something should die, we don't want it to die naturally." ”
My heart was touched. However, I kept my head down and said nothing.
It's all old.
I think that for Boss Xu in pain, although Kaohsiung's words are very reasonable, he said a little too directly.
However, Kaohsiung is such a person, and he often gives people a strong shock.
He's not the type of spring breeze and rain. His touches are often like sharp blades, passing through everything and reaching the depths of people's hearts.

When I came out of Boss Xu and walked outside, I found that the weather had suddenly changed, the temperature had plummeted, and I was wearing a shirt and felt cold on my body.
Kaohsiung said, "Do you want to open the box and get some clothes out?" As he spoke, he prepared to open the trunk of the car.
I said, "I didn't expect it to be so cold here, I didn't have any clothes with me." ”
Kaohsiung said: "It's okay, you get in the car first, I'll turn on the heating." Opposite the hotel where you are staying, there is a Dior store, and I will take you to buy two clothes. ”
When I got the keys to the hotel, I went up to put my luggage, and Kaohsiung accompanied me downstairs to Dior's store. The salesperson greeted him with graciousness. This scene reminds me of when I was young, when Kaohsiung accompanied me to a Nike store to buy shoes. I found myself getting used to getting Kaohsiung to pay. He has been trained successfully in his bandit-like tactics over the years, so that I can accept his unsolicited payment without hindrance.
I couldn't help but sigh.
I picked out two coats that were a little thicker. The sales lady said: "Now there is a discount, you can buy another one, you can get a 7% discount." ”
I looked at Kaohsiung and he said, "I think this thin sweater is also quite good, it flatters your skin tone." ”
So, I tried on this thin sweater again, and sure enough, as he said, it flattered my skin tone.
When Kaohsiung went to pay, I wandered around the store casually, my eyes drawn to the lamp displayed in the store. I was so amazed by the elegance and beauty of this lamp that I couldn't help but look at it for a long time and stop in front of it.
Kaohsiung walked back from the cash register, and he walked up to me and asked, "Do you like it?" ”
I said, "I like to look at this lampholder, like the skirt of the ancient Greek goddess and the hanging tassel around her waist." ”
Kaohsiung followed me for a while, and then said, "I like that bronze luster." ”
Kaohsiung said to the clerk, "Is this lamp for sale?" ”
The clerk quickly nodded and said, "For sale, for sale, you see, there's a price tag here." ”
Kaohsiung said, "Wrap that lamp together and send it to this room in the hotel opposite." ”
I looked at Kaohsiung.
Kaohsiung said: "Or, let them send it directly to your home address, so that you don't have to worry about it on the return trip." ”
He said, "I think it's appropriate to put it on your desk." ”
I said, "I didn't say I wanted to buy it." Not everything you like has to be possessed. ”
He said, "I'm true to my word. I've already told the clerk that I want to buy it, how can I go back. If you don't want it, put it on my table. When you refuse to come to me, I will look at it and talk to myself. ”
I gritted my teeth.
In this way, the lamp finally arrived at my house. But I didn't put it on my desk, I put it on the couch table in the living room.
The desk is where I date you through writing. I don't want Kaohsiung's stuff to stand by all the time.
Kaohsiung has always wanted to forcibly enter my life, to enter my closed private life.
He never gave up thinking about it. Although he didn't succeed much.
