Chapter 12: The state of life you want is the same as fate, and it will not fall from the sky
Gupta went on a business trip before, and he didn't bring his secretary Stella every time, anyway, there were not many occasions to speak, and the temporary translator was Ning Qian. But as the process became clearer and clearer, it was often Ning Qian who rushed to the next city first, and Gupta, PT and Madam stayed for one more day to be accompanied by the dealer to appreciate the local customs.
PT's English is three-legged cat, Madam is not good at all, and Gupta feels very inconvenient, so he starts to take Stella on a business trip. Mr. Kumar and Jennifer Ren Ying began to conduct training for the Lipton sales team and the dealer sales team in various locations. The rhythm of each time is: Ning Qian takes the channel marketing, the sales supervisor to play the front, everything is ready, Gupta, Stella, PT and Madam are in the middle, come out to participate in the press conference, shake hands with dealers or local major customers, exchange feelings, to show attention, and finally, Kumar and Jennifer, the sales supervisor stay to train the dealers.
Stella's child is just over a year old and refuses to run around with the boss, she naturally doesn't dare, but she has been away from home like this, and the child's husband and mother-in-law have fallen out. She reflected to William many times, asking the HR department if she could talk to the boss and don't arrange her to go on a business trip.
"Don't mention the fact that your children can't travel again, or you'll be replaced in minutes. There are a lot of people waiting in line to take over your position, shouting at the platinum boat, and a dozen of them pounced at once, all of them better than you. When Stella heard this, she dared to speak and had to live in pain every day.
It's a long way from Xi'an to Harbin, and when Stella finally arrived at the hotel, she hurriedly called home, and there was a lot of noise in the receiver. The son's mother and mother screamed, her voice was hoarse, no matter how tall she was and how strong she looked, but at this time, a mother's heart was torn apart, and she was so weak that she was vulnerable. She also cried with her son on the phone, feeling that if this continued, sooner or later she and her family would collapse.
Before returning to the room after dinner, she hesitated and called the general manager, saying that she wanted to talk to him about something. Gupta immediately sat down in a chair in the hotel lobby and asked her to speak. As soon as the words come out, there is no ...... in work The cry of the son...... Mother-in-law's complaints...... Husband's accusation...... These stirred into juice in her mind at high speed, turning into tears. Gupta was a little stunned when he saw this formation, and just saw Ning Qian and Jerry passing by, and hurriedly stopped Ning Qian: "Aimee, come over and help me ask Stella what's wrong." ”
Stella had the courage to say it to Ning Qian, and poured out the tears and grievances that she had turned into in her stomach for a while. Ning Qian gently stroked Stella's back and explained to Gupta.
Unexpectedly, Gupta was particularly cheerful, he spread his hands and said, "As a mother, it is natural for you to put your children first. No problem, after this time, I don't need you to accompany me on business trips. I will ask Lei to help me find another full-time translator, and you can help me take care of the office in Guangzhou with peace of mind. ”
Stella was so moved that she said, "As long as I don't travel, I can do anything!" I will definitely help my boss take care of the office, and ah, let me do anything! When Gupta was on a business trip, she not only kept an eye on the office, but also called Mrs. Gupta every day to greet her, arranged for a driver to accompany her and her daughter out, accompanied Mrs. Gupta to participate in her daughter's activities on and off campus, and purchased large bags of things for their family to send over......
Mrs. Gupta and his daughter had complained about his constant business trips, but they saw that Stella took care of everything so intimately, and it must have been arranged by Gupta. Every time Gupta came home, his wife and daughter were very close to him when they saw him, and they rushed to tell him happy things. Seeing that the family members are so considerate and supportive, and everyone is enjoying themselves, Gupta really thinks that this trip to China is worth it!
After Gupta took office, he went directly to the markets all over the country, and has never been to the office building of the Chinese platinum boat, and today is the first time he has visited the chairman of the joint venture, Mr. Shi. Lei Yue'er accompanied him. When she walked to the door of Mr. Shi's office, Lei Yue'er pointed to the opposite room and told Gupta that it used to be Aimee's office.
Gupta just looked at the spacious desk, and thought of the small table in the large open room where Aimee was now, and was shocked by the atmosphere of the platinum boat: the platinum boat is really rich, and Aimee is really the same as Mr. Fu said, the starting point is very high. She is willing to give up the comfortable environment here and come to the joint venture, she is really not an ordinary girl!
Platinum Boat has a branch in Hainan, and the branch manager Chu Chengzhen is only two or three years older than Hong Xuantao, and he is also a tea professional.
He also happened to come back to the Guangzhou General Office today, and when he saw Lei Yueer passing by with a foreigner, his very good brain immediately turned: Lipton is in Hainan, a major tourist province, and the market must be very large! He hurriedly dragged Director Xu to help introduce him, wanting to become a distributor of Lipton in Hainan.
Director Xu thought about it and felt that this matter was not suitable for Mr. Shi to go and talk to the foreign general manager in person, so he called Ning Qian. Ning Qian thanked Director Xu again and again for recommending the dealer to Lipton, and immediately asked Chu Chengzhen to come over for an interview.
After PT communicated with Manager Chu, he felt that the ability of himself and the team he introduced could only be regarded as average. But after all, it is a branch of Platinum Boat, and it is better to have strong strength and know the roots, so I gladly agreed.
According to Lipton's fast, ruthless, and accurate play, in less than a month, Hainan's star-rated hotels, bars and nightclubs, department stores, supermarkets, and even wholesale markets everywhere were full of Lipton black tea, and it seemed that overnight, it became popular all over Hainan.
Kumar is a very humorous little old man, even at the age of gray hair, a pair of big eyes still occupy a quarter of the face, and when he looks at people, his eyes are full of mischievous and cunning funny.
On the first few business trips, Gupta took him with him, cheering him on and telling everyone about the importance of Kumar's status. Kumar witnessed the heat of the press conference and also saw the orderliness of Ning Qian's work, and admired this little girl very much.
Later, he found out that only Ning Qian could joke with him, and every time he mischievous, she could always see through and pierce without a trace, and gradually, he began to like this game of cat and mouse, and always wanted to give Ning Qian a trick. He said to Gupta more than once, "Aimee, this girl, is really smart! Gupta smiled faintly, "I know." ”
Ning Qian also told Jennifer about her discoveries and knowledge of Kumar, which not only helped her adapt to the rhythm and way of working with Kumar, but also allowed her to take better care of Kumar – after all, he was no longer young, and he had to follow them day and night to travel and start work.
I once tried the highest peak, went to four cities a day, held two press conferences, and visited eight dealers. Spending the night on the train, leaving the hotel at 4 a.m. to rush to the airport, taking a long-distance bus in a row, being turned upside down on a kite-like plane, but landing with high morale...... These are commonplace.
Jennifer was tired and cried several times, but looking at Ning Qian's thin body and firm steps, she beat her spirit to keep up. Every time she walked to the market, when she went to the imported supermarket, Ning Qian reminded Jennifer to buy a Walker Johnnie for Kumar, and when the old gentleman was tired, he had to rely on this wine to survive.
Finally, I can go back to Guangzhou to rest, Ning Qian fell asleep, but was woken up by a knock on the door, who is it?
When I opened the door, I saw that it was golden autumn! Hahahaha......
Jin Qiu hugged the unkempt Ning Qian: "I finally caught you!" I heard Xiuwan say you're back, hurry up! Ning Qian was also overjoyed, and pulled Jin Qiu to sit on the bed and chat. Suddenly, another head poked in from the door, and it was Luo Xia's sister Luo Xing! She smiled and said, "I'm here to find Xiuwan." It turned out that she was introducing someone to Xiuwan, telling her the time and place of meeting the other party, and accompanying her in person.
Luo Xing looked Ning Qian's room up and down, inside and out, and said seriously: "You are a girl like a flower, you can't hide in the dormitory and sleep on this sunny weekend!" You have to go out on a blind date and find a boyfriend quickly! Although Ning Qian had nothing to say to Luo Xia, her impression of Luo Xing was still excellent.
"Thank you, Sister Xing! The boyfriend's business can only depend on fate. Ning Qian smiled heartlessly, brainlessly, and without guts.
"If you lie at home, fate will not fall from the sky, and it just falls off your bed! You have to dress up beautifully, go to places with a lot of boys, and keep wandering around to meet fate. Sister Xing spoke bitterly.
Ning Qian remembered that when she came back this time, she met Xiao Zhang, the driver of the platinum boat, downstairs in the dormitory, and persuaded her to go on a blind date: "You girl goes out on a blind date and doesn't suffer a loss, I really don't like it, it's good to have a mixed meal." ”
"It's not like I don't have anything to eat, why do I have to rely on a blind date to eat together." Ning Qian smiled facelessly and incorrigibly.
Suddenly, everyone around her was more anxious than her, for fear that she would not be able to get married, including Jin Qiu.
Luo Xing took Xiuwan on a blind date, and Jin Qiu and Ning Qian continued to sit on the bed and talk about themselves. Jin Qiu asked Ning Qian if she had a boyfriend, and Ning Qian turned it around in her mind several times, and could only shake her head. Jin Qiu asked cautiously, "Then did you let him go?" ”
Ning Qian didn't speak.
"He's going to be sent to England, you know?" Jin Qiu asked tentatively again.
Ning Qian shook her head.
"Platinum Boat has a big project to follow up with in the UK, in addition to traditional tea, but also other products. On comprehensive business ability, I was going to send our manager Hong, manager Hong said that after all, he was learning tea, English is not good, recommended Bai Day, said that Bai Tian is young, strong business ability, professional background, English is very good, perfect candidate. It's settled, he'll leave next week. ”
Such an important decision was actually not known until he was leaving...... But why did you know earlier? Who is he, and who are you...... Ning Qian's mood suddenly plummeted, and she didn't want to say anything.
She didn't know what was wrong with her, how could I, who was so decisive in my work, become so depressed at the mention of him...... Jin Qiu thoughtfully hugged her, seeing that she still didn't say a word, and deliberately patted the bed hard and shouted: "Oops, it's bad, it's bad!" I actually forgot to call! ”
"Wait, I'll go down and make a call first, and I'll be back right away, right back right away!"
When she came up, she told Ning Qian that there was a party in the Department of Comprehensive Trade tonight, and Manager Hong invited Ning Qian to go with her. Ning Qian suddenly had a feeling of expecting to be abused: knowing that if he went, everyone would more or less mention the daylight, but he still wanted to go, wanted to hear news about him, and even looked forward to his appearance.
Tonight, will daylight appear? After so long, will they see each other again?
