Chapter 36: Performance pressure deforms actions and shows human nature
Although Marcus' Chinese is very good, he was still disturbed by Lu's words. What exactly is he trying to say? Aimee approached me just to sell me iced tea?? Will it?? Could it be that at the gate of Parkson that day, it wasn't a chance encounter, but she carefully followed me and pretended? Impossible! I didn't feel like she was around me before. Is it fake that she has mascara in the corners of her eyes, who has roasted sweet potatoes stuck to her mouth, who blushes blushing, and who has teary eyes? His heart suddenly began to fall, and he began to understand why he used the word "heavy" to describe his mood, and now this heart suddenly became heavy and heavy!
Aimee, Gupta, and Lu were waiting for the elevator when Daisy came out and said to Aimee, "Miss Ning, please stay, please come with me." Aimee glanced at Gupta and Lu suspiciously, limped with a cane and followed Daisy into the office of Shengbai, Daisy subconsciously supported Aimee, and said sympathetically: "Why are you injured like this, and you still have to come to the meeting?" I can't even get enough of it. Back in the conference room, Marcus was still there, and Daisy closed the door and went out, leaving the two of them alone.
"Is your boss human? You're all like that, and they're letting you come to the meeting! Marcus was furious.
Suddenly, his vision was completely blocked by tears, and he couldn't even see Marcus clearly in front of him......
"No, he's a customer, I'm a salesperson, if I cry in front of him and be seen, how inappropriate!" She quickly wiped away a handful of tears and looked up at Marcus with a forced composure: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Her aggrieved but pretended to be strong made Marcus unable to believe that she had approached him with malicious intentions to sell something.
Marcus was so angry that Daisy called Aimee back, and wanted to ask her right away if she was what Lu said she was. But when I really saw her, I was only distressed and uncomfortable. In the company conference room, he couldn't say anything about personal feelings, and he suddenly didn't know what to say or ask.
"You go back to the hotel now, don't go anywhere, ...... in the evening I'll see, if I have time...... Call you. He wanted to say, "I'll pick you up in the evening." But I don't know why, this sentence was not spoken, and even the phone call was so reluctant.
Aimee sensed that Marcus was deliberately distancing himself from her – to avoid suspicion. She understood, and silently turned and moved out of the conference room.
Looking at Aimee's back, he heard the sound of his heart cracking.
Aimee went to the elevator entrance, and Gupta and Lu looked at her strangely. They got off the elevator and had just arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the Lome Building, when Gupta asked Aimee, "Isn't that Marcus your boyfriend?" Why don't you have any skills, is it so difficult to get your boyfriend to buy our things? "Aimee's head is buzzing open! How would they know Marcus was my boyfriend? I've just confirmed it myself, how can they look like they already knew? What am I doing wrong for them to see?
"I asked Marcus just now, and he saw that you were trying to get close to him because you were selling him iced tea. I have seen a lot of female salesmen who want to sell things to customers through such bad tricks, and people can make some benefits, I have never seen you fail so much, your so-called boyfriend didn't give you any face! Stealing chickens doesn't make rice, right? Aimee had never seen Lu look at him with such contempt.
"Mr. Gupta, Manager Lu, please pay attention to your words when you speak. I'm a salesperson for Lipton, I have my own professional ethics, as for selling goods, do you give yourself to customers? Aimee reminded herself not to be unscrupulous, but to talk to them.
"If it's someone else, not necessarily, but if it's you, it's hard to say." It seems that Lu thinks so.
"Why? What exactly have I done to make you feel this way? Aimee's eyes began to turn cold.
Lu stopped talking, but his expression made Aimee more uncomfortable than speaking.
"You will go to Hangzhou today and find Mr. Bao and Mr. Jin to collect money." Gupta threw this down and strode forward with Lu, completely oblivious to whether Aimee, who was on crutches behind him, could keep up.
At this point, Aimee felt that there was no need to follow their pace, she slowed down, she couldn't help it, tears welled up......
A girl on crutches, standing at the door of a high-end office building and crying, too ugly, she reminded herself not to raise her head, not to let people see, quickly hide in a place where no one is to cry, but she can't walk as far as she can't fly...... She sat down in the corner of the flower bed, kept her head down, tried not to cry, and let the tears run wild...... The grievances that I had been holding back since I met Gupta turned into tears......
The phone rang.
"Coriander, Dad knows that you must be very busy at work, Dad just suddenly misses you very much, you have to pay attention to rest, don't be too tired."
"Dad, I know, don't worry, I'm fine."
"Do you have a cold? Why don't you speak in the right voice? "Dad sensed something was wrong.
"No, no, maybe my nose is a little allergic. It's okay, Dad, don't worry, you and Mom, I'll take care of myself. ”
It's all some everyday nonsense, but at this moment, Ning Qian suddenly understood a truth:
Whether it's Gupta or Lu, do you expect them to be considerate and care for me? They are just bosses, not fathers, not family members, they have no feelings for me, they only care about my contribution to the company, they don't need to care about my feelings. Even if you don't agree with their approach, this is what they really think, and the relationship between them is so realistic. So what's the use of me being sad? The only way to fight back is performance.
She finally returned to the Guojian Hotel. It was too expensive for the hotel to receive fax printing, so she called Justin to send the accounts receivable information of the Hangzhou dealer to the Shanghai office, pack her luggage, take a taxi to the office, print the documents, and then take a taxi to the Shanghai railway station.
There are a lot of people in the railway station square, and at the entrance of the square, a temporary ticket office has been added, and people have to climb a simple three-story wooden step to reach the ticket window. If you leave your luggage under the stairs, you can be carried away at any time. Ning Qian had to carry her luggage to the steps, buy a ticket, and then move her luggage down. At this time, even crutches felt redundant, because of willpower, he could really not only walk, but also carry luggage.
When Bao Xiaolu saw Ning Qian, he was taken aback: "What's wrong with you?" Did you fall on the way to Hangzhou? No, no, the fall won't be so serious, what's going on with you? She smiled and said, "In order to find you to collect debts and sympathize, I deliberately fell!" Bao Xiaolu was stunned: "Yo, such a big capital?" The two men looked at each other and laughed.
Bao Xiaolu began to complain: It's not that he doesn't want to pay, of course he knows that he has to pay, but no, the new general manager Lai Zong refuses to pay. Mr. Lai said that Youjia is a big company with deep pockets, so he won't care about them paying for the goods, and he will have to pay sooner or later anyway. Ning Qian almost couldn't help it: "According to your description, you Lai Zong is said to be the general manager of the debt?" ”
"Then you can take me to meet Mr. Lai." Bao Xiaolu said that there was no problem.
Mr. Lai is kind and kind-eyed, and he doesn't look like he is playing tricks at all. Seeing Ning Qian, who was injured, he couldn't believe his eyes: "I have long heard of the capable Miss Ning, she is really not an ordinary person, she can travel on crutches!" ”
"Mr. Lai, look at it, if it weren't for the old customers who have been friends for many years in Zhejiang Trade, I wouldn't have come to Hangzhou to find you like this." Aimee hurriedly followed.
When Aimee took out a stack of Zhejiang Trade's accounts payable list so far from his luggage, Mr. Lai was also a little embarrassed: "I said that it is inconvenient for you to walk, why do you still carry such heavy luggage." ”
"Mr. Lai, you see, 80% of the money has long exceeded the age of more than two months, you also know that our excellent family is an international company, the headquarters is to audit our finances, once you see customers with poor credit, you will immediately stop cooperating, but also take legal measures to recover the money. We and Zhemao are partners who are fighting side by side from scratch, and I personally can't bear to see things develop to this point, so I have to come over to give you a wake-up call and discuss with you how to remedy it as soon as possible. If it is not solved, it can only be done officially, and at that level, I may not be able to help, and I hope that Mr. Lai and Manager Bao will understand. ”
Aimee thought, although Gupta and Lu did not intend to emphasize the division of labor in the organizational system, but they could not let customers feel that our company was chaotic, obviously they were in the hands of the Hangzhou office, how could they let Ning Qian collect money now. Although the purpose is to get the money back, the company's image still needs to be maintained.
Mr. Lai snorted a few haha: "Oh, Miss Ning, you really do what they say, your brain is very clear." Yes, it is because we know that Youjia is an international large company and Lipton is an international brand, so what is our payment here? By the way, don't you Cantonese say sprinkling water? Ha ha...... Miss Ning, don't scare us, now the whole country is doing this business, where is there such a hurry to force money. ”
Yo, he's really a tough person to deal with.
"Mr. Lai, I had a special tacit understanding with Zhejiang trade cooperation before, and we all went through hardships together, so I couldn't walk anymore, and I came to Hangzhou from Shanghai to persuade each other. If you don't believe that you can do this, we can try the consequences. However, in the past, Zhemao has been working very well with Lipton, and I believe that this business will not be lost in your hands. ”
"Once Zhejiang Trade can't sell Lipton, in the future of this market, no one will remember that when Lipton hit the country, Zhejiang Trade also made great contributions. All the efforts you have made in the past will come to naught, and Lipton's good or bad will have nothing to do with you. Of course, Lipton had nothing to lose, we already had other dealers and a lot of candidates lined up to be our dealers. In the future, Lipton, with or without Zhejiang trade, will get better and better. ”
Mr. Lai glanced at Bao Xiaolu, who had been giving him a look, and he understood that Bao meant that he must not break with her.
"Now Lipton Li fully took into account the difficulties of such old customers as Zhejiang Trade, and deliberately launched a temporary special support policy of half of the money to buy new goods and half of the old accounts, Mr. Lai, this is also our greatest support for your work, or you first discharge the repayment plan, and then we will discuss and determine together?"
Zhemao is not without money, but who would be afraid of having more money? It's nice to be able to take up other people's money for a while! Mr. Lai, who was born in finance, finally said: "Okay, then follow Miss Ning's suggestion, Manager Bao, you and finance can make a plan together." "When Ning Qian arrived in Hangzhou, it was not early, and the payment plan was arranged, and it was already time for Zhejiang Trade to get off work.
Bao Xiaolu insisted on inviting her to dinner, but Ning Qian was not polite at all: "Everyone is so familiar, so I don't pay attention to this." I'm not able to move around, so let's go to the hotel. Bao Xiaolv hurriedly called to book a hotel by the West Lake, she wrote down the address and made an appointment with him: come back tomorrow morning, and keep an eye on their financial repayment plan for the first payment. As soon as she came out of Bao Xiaolu's company, she planned to go to Jin Yue next. On the phone, Jin Yue said that he was in the suburbs, but no matter how late he was, he would rush back to meet Ning Qian.
As soon as she entered the room, she felt that the design here was very special: the bed was actually round, and even the walls inside were pink, which was completely princess-like. There happened to be a waiter passing by, Ning Qian asked if every room was like this, and the waiter said no, every room was different. It was the first time for Ning Qian to stay in such a personalized hotel, and her curiosity came up: although she couldn't enter every room and her legs and feet were extremely inconvenient, she still touched the entire floor, even how many floors there were up and down, and how many rooms there were.
Seeing that it was already dark, she ate something casually in the small teahouse next to the hotel by herself, and not long after, Jin Yue really came.
They chatted for a long time, Jin Yue knew what Ning Qian was looking for him to do, and he also told Ning Qian very frankly that he did make a lot of money as a Lipton, and as soon as he had a lot of money in his hands, he would diversify his business and go to the suburbs to develop a cultural industry park, his ideal has always been to be a cultural person. Most of the money has been invested in this project, and the funds are indeed very tight at the moment, and it is really impossible to pay Lipton.
"I understand you and support you in doing what you enjoy the most. But if your partnership with Lipton doesn't work, what do you rely on to generate essential cash flow and profits to support your cultural sensibilities? ”
