19. Go with the flow
Huo Bufan got up and closed the door, walked over and said, "Actually, I think it's good." ”
Ji Xiangning looked over, frowned and asked, "What's so good?" ”
"Since Vice President Ji wants to explain clearly to Donglai Commerce, why don't you make a rumor-refuting announcement in the name of the company to help him." Huo Bufan said.
Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then stared at Huo Bufan through gritted teeth: "I doubt now that you were bought by him and deliberately wanted to fix me!" ”
It's no wonder that Ji Xiangning was angry, originally she spread the news according to Huo Bufan's suggestion, and there was a chance of success. Now that Ji Changming has taken the initiative to explain clearly to Donglai Commerce, it is equivalent to scrapping all her hard work.
Now Huo Bufan asked her to take the initiative to refute the rumors again, so the immortal will die faster?
Huo Bufan smiled and asked, "Is this internal dispute of your Ji family a secret in the outside world?" ”
"Of course not." Ji Xiangning subconsciously shook her head, every big family will have internal strife, and they can't hide it if they want to.
"That's not it." Huo Bufan continued: "Everyone knows that the direct line of the Ji family likes to suppress the side lineage, so the previous news is based on facts in the eyes of outsiders. Ji Changming's explanation to Donglai Commerce and Trade was not very convincing. In the shopping mall, it is normal to do something dark while explaining. People who come to the East are very fond of speculation, which is their cleverness, but cleverness is mistaken by cleverness. The more they explain, the more suspicious they become. So what you have to do now is to strike while Ji Changming's fire is still not extinguished, strike while the iron is hot, and refute the rumors again. However, in the announcement, you should pay a little attention to the wording, and it is best to make people feel that you are forced to send a rumor-refuting announcement. ”
"What you mean is that I should take the plan and let Donglai Commerce and Trade think that the Ji family has indeed found another supplier, and I have indeed been robbed of credit. But in order to protect the honor of the family, you have to stand up and refute the rumors? Ji Xiangning looked at Huo Bufan in astonishment, as if she was looking at a monster.
In fact, she has really been wronged and has to protect the honor of her family, she has not done it. Every time she is treated unfairly, she only thinks about the filth of her direct family.
Today, Huo Bufan taught her a good lesson, so that she understood that when she was wronged, in addition to being forced to accept it, she could also use her strength to fight!
If it was a battle-hardened old businessman who gave such advice, Ji Xiangning would not be too shocked, because compared to those people, her experience is still a little shallow, and she doesn't think far enough.
However, it was not a well-informed old man who gave her this advice now, but a nerd who was about her age and looked down upon by everyone before that.
"Do you remember anything?" Ji Xiangning couldn't help but ask.
This question was a little weird, and Huo Bufan was stunned when he asked: "What do you remember?" ”
Ji Xiangning looked at his expression carefully, and finally shook his head and said, "It's nothing, your suggestion is very good, I will implement it immediately." ”
As she spoke, she picked up the internal phone on the table: "Mr. Ma, come to my office." ”
After hanging up the phone, Ji Xiangning looked up at Huo Bufan again and said, "If you can succeed this time, what reward do you want?" ”
Huo Bufan thought for a moment, and then replied with a serious face: "I want to be the president." ”
Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then glared at him fiercely: "Do your daydreaming!" ”
Huo Bufan laughed and didn't care, this is just a branch of the Ji family. If you really want him to be the president, he still thinks the temple is too small.
"If you have nothing to do, go make two cups of coffee." Ji Xiangning said, sat down and turned on the computer, and began to crackle to refute the rumors.
Huo Bufan sighed, turned around and walked out of the door very obediently.
This kind of thing of making coffee should have been done by a secretary, but Ji Xiangning didn't have a secretary.
It's not that she was suppressed by her direct family so much that she couldn't even recruit a secretary, but because the few secretaries she looked for before finally defected to her direct line and betrayed her many times.
Later, Ji Xiangning didn't bother to find a secretary again, and tried to do everything herself.
It's hard work, but it's better than being disobeyed.
Leaving the office, Huo Bufan walked towards the pantry.
Although it is only a branch, the scale of the pantry still reflects the glory of the Ji family.
More than 70 square meters, what coffee machine, baking oven, bar, tea tray everything.
On several rows of shelves, there are various materials.
If you want to drink coffee, there are both well-known domestic and foreign instant coffee brands, as well as mid-to-high-end coffee beans that can be ground on site.
Compared with instant coffee, Huo Bufan still prefers freshly ground coffee, which has a stronger aroma and more natural, and tastes completely different. Of course, it's also more time-consuming.
Maybe it's because it's too early, most people haven't had time to digest their breakfast, and there is only a middle-aged man grinding coffee in the huge pantry.
Huo Bufan walked over and opened a few jars of coffee beans and smelled them, and finally chose the more popular Blue Mountain.
As soon as I took out the coffee beans, I heard a voice next to me: "It's so bitter, why is it so unpalatable......
Turning his head to look, he saw that the middle-aged man directly poured the coffee in the cup into the pool, and then grabbed a handful of coffee beans and prepared to grind them again, while muttering in his mouth: "I don't believe that I can't grind the taste of others!" ”
Huo Bufan smiled and reminded: "If you don't like to drink bitter coffee, you should choose Blue Mountain or Colombian coffee beans instead of old Ugandan beans." ”
When the man heard him speak, he turned his head and asked, "Do you know how to grind coffee?" ”
"Understand, do you need help?" Huo Bufan asked.
The middle-aged man didn't speak, just put down the coffee beans in his hand and moved out of the way.
Huo Bufan walked over and took off all the knives and filter cups of the coffee machine and put them into the pool to rinse, and said: "Coffee beans contain oil, so they must be cleaned after grinding, otherwise the grease will accumulate and there will be a stale smell after a long time, even the most advanced beans will be ground into a strange powder." Especially when some people like to add flavor when grinding, the taste is strong and heavy, and it will last for a long time, so it is best to put two spoons of white Beijing sugar in it and whip it to taste before cleaning. ”
After cleaning the coffee machine, Huo Bufan grabbed some more Colombian coffee beans, turned his head and asked the man, "Is it okay to be American?" The taste is a little lighter. ”
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded.
Huo Bufan put the coffee beans into the coffee machine, operated the button very skillfully, and said at the same time: "The coffee beans can't be beaten too much at a time, otherwise the grinding time will be long, and the temperature of the machine will be too high, which will let the aroma come out in advance." The grinding of Americano coffee is relatively coarse, and the one you just beat is more and finer, and the old beans from Uganda are still selected, which are naturally bitter. In general, the cooking time is ......"
The middle-aged man listened like a student on the side, and occasionally encountered something that he was puzzled or did not remember, he would ask.
Huo Bufan didn't have any impatience and explained to him very carefully.
In the end, a cup of fragrant dark brown American coffee was brewed, Huo Bufan handed it to the other party, and said with a smile: "Try it, if you don't feel sweet enough, you can also add flavor or toffee." ”
The middle-aged man took a sip in his hand, and then his eyes lit up: "Okay!" It's fragrant, it's the kind of smell I want! You're amazing, are you a barista for the company? ”
Huo Bufan shook his head and replied while cleaning the coffee machine: "I'm a driver." ”
"Driver?" The middle-aged man was stunned: "Can the driver of the Ji family make coffee so well?" ”
"I've been idle and have nothing to do for a while." Huo Bufan smiled and asked, "It sounds like you're not from the company?" ”
"Well, I have cooperated with your company, and I came to admire the style of the Ji family below. Now it seems that it is really not ordinary. The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Huo Bufan smiled, put the knife back on, and continued to polish the coffee.
While grinding, he chatted casually with the middle-aged man.
The other party's knowledge is also very unusual, and the two of them can talk together in many aspects, and when the coffee is brewed, Huo Bufan smiled and said: "There are still people waiting to drink over there, I'll go over first, if you need help, I can help you call someone over by the way." ”
