Chapter 025: Say No
Song Jinyu waited for about 5 minutes in Room 302.
A woman wearing a navy blue sleeveless V-neck dress with a permed pear blossom head walked in.
This woman is Tao Yuan, the one that Situ Mo missed back then and is still unforgettable.
The woman is about 1.62 meters tall, with a goose egg face, almond eyes, a towering nose, and lips like cherries.
"I have long heard of Mr. Song's name, and it is really a privilege to be invited by Mr. Song. I didn't expect Mr. Song to be so young. ”
After Tao Yuan entered the box and saw Song Jinyu, she was surprised, and her tone was full of flattery.
"Please be seated, Miss Tao."
Song Jinyu bowed slightly, pointed to the opposite side, and motioned for the other party to sit down.
"Mr. Song's assistant said on the phone that you have something to look for me, if it is because of that batch of payment, I am really sorry, Qirun has been short of funds recently, please be sure to give me a period of grace."
Tao Yuan saw that Song Jinyu was not smiling, worried that he was here to collect accounts receivable, so she sat down and said with a cramped expression.
"Miss Tao is too worried, in fact, I came to Miss Tao to ask Miss Tao about someone."
Song Jinyu sat on the sofa, her tone was a little lazy, which invisibly brought Tao Yuan a great pressure, and she asked curtly:
"I don't know Mr. Song...... Who do you want to ask? ”
Song Jinyu then sat up straight, he looked directly into Tao Yuan's eyes, with a great deterrent in his eyes, and slowly said three words:
"Situ-Mo."
The next second Song Jinyu said these three words, Tao Yuan froze in place as if someone had immobilized him.
Her lips twitched slightly, and her gaze at Song Jinyu was full of thick incredulity, and her tone became a little slumped for a while:
"Mr. Song, you ...... Ask what he does? ”
"I heard that he has excellent fine gold craftsmanship, and I wanted to hire him with a high salary, but he was reluctant to go out of the mountain after inviting him several times. I heard that Miss Tao is his old love, so I want to see if Miss Tao can help? ”
Song Jinyu said slowly, he didn't want anyone to know his liking for Qin Lanzhou for the time being, so he found a perfect excuse.
"We haven't been in touch for several years, and Mr. Song may have found the wrong person when he looked for me."
Speaking of Situ Mo, Tao Yuan's eyes were slightly red, and her emotions began to fluctuate, she bit her lip, and subconsciously wanted to stand up and leave.
"If Miss Tao is willing to share Situ Mo's information with me without reservation, I can give Qirun another 3 months grace period for that payment."
Seeing that Tao Yuan wanted to leave, Song Jinyu said slowly.
Tao Yuan was about to get up, and after hearing Song Jinyu say this, the expression on her face flickered for a while.
After about ten seconds of struggle, Tao Yuan finally chose to sit down......
——
Although Situ Mo repeatedly persuaded Qin Lanzhou to participate in the competition, Qin Lanzhou still did not call the competition party to confirm.
She is the kind of person who has a very good idea, and if she doesn't make up her mind, it will be difficult to shake her inner thoughts.
Another Friday later at dusk.
Two young men in white shirts and black trousers sneakily appear near the Meran workshop.
Because their identities are fake and shoddy, they even walk with emptiness.
They explained their intentions to the clerk of the Moran Workshop, telling them that they were staff members of the organizers of the competition.
The clerk Xiaomo didn't think much about it, and immediately welcomed them into Qin Lanzhou's studio.
When they saw Qin Lanzhou, after they expressed their intentions, they quickly handed the information to Qin Lanzhou and said sincerely to Qin Lanzhou:
"Miss Qin, our leaders have repeatedly asked us to persuade you to participate in this Gongmei Gold Cup Competition, so we specially came to the door, hoping that you can consider it again."
The two staff members looked very young, wearing professional white shirts and black trousers, except for not wearing ties, at first glance, they looked very similar to the staff uniforms that Qin Lanzhou saw last time in the Jinyi office building.
She was a little suspicious.
She has long heard of the rigor and professionalism of the Arts and Crafts Competition.
For a fledgling newcomer like her, the enthusiasm of the tournament party is unbelievable:
"This ...... I would like to ask, do you have to visit every contestant? Is it that the conditions have been relaxed this year? ”
The staff secretly wiped the sweat from their heads, but fortunately, after rehearsal in advance, they had already memorized the script, and one of them quickly explained:
"Of course not, it's because Miss Qin is special and well-known in the Yancheng fine gold craft world, our leaders specially asked us to visit, and we must persuade you to participate."
The Molan Workshop has indeed been slightly famous in Yancheng in the past three years, and while Qin Lanzhou felt embarrassed, a slight hint of embarrassment rose in his heart:
Are you already so good? Thinking about it like this, her old face couldn't help but feel a little hot.
Seeing that the other party attached so much importance to her, she was hesitating how to reply to the other party, when Situ Mo suddenly lifted the curtain and walked over from next door.
In the past, Situ Mo avoided guests, but today he took the initiative to appear, which surprised Qin Lanzhou very much.
She hurriedly stood up and introduced Situ Mo:
"Senior brother, they are the staff of the Gold Cup of the Gongmei Competition, and they made a special trip to visit."
"I've heard it on the other side, and since the tournament side takes it so seriously, you can agree to come down."
Situ Mo said as he deliberately stepped forward to shake hands with the staff.
"Our leaders especially hope that Miss Qin can participate, you are her senior brother, please help persuade her."
When one of them saw that there was hope, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said busily.
"Senior brother, I said I wouldn't go......"
"Since the competition party attaches so much importance to you, there is no reason not to go. Don't worry, Qin Lanzhou will hand in the works on time, and convey my thanks to your leaders for me, thank you for their attention to Qin Lanzhou. ”
Unexpectedly, Situ Mo was extraordinarily insistent, and he directly accepted it for Qin Lanzhou.
"Okay, then let's go back and spread the word, looking forward to Miss Qin's masterpiece!"
When the two staff members heard Situ Mo say this, they were overjoyed, and they didn't care about saying anything more, so they immediately got up and left the Molan Workshop.
Out of politeness, Qin Lanzhou watched the staff leave through the side door, and then turned back into the courtyard.
"Senior brother, how can you promise them that my work is still a half-finished product, and the time is so short, how can I have time?"
Qin Lanzhou said stupidly.
There are still many details that need to be perfected in that pair of phoenix filigree hairpins, and the details are easy to do, but the main problem is that it is still impossible to find two pairs of gems for setting in a short time.
Since it is a work, Qin Lanzhou wants to strive for perfection, she feels reluctant to use synthetic gemstones, but natural gemstones, where to find them for a while?
This is indeed a problem, Situ Mo fell silent for a while, and after a long while, he said in a deep voice:
"You first refine the details of the work, and I'll figure out the gems."
Qin Lanzhou hadn't heard Situ Mo say such a thing for a long time.
The low and slightly magnetic voice brought Qin Lanzhou a sense of security that had not been seen for a long time.
She remembered that when Situ Mo was active in front of people in the past, no matter what kind of raw materials she needed, he could find ways to get them for her.
From childhood to adulthood, there is nothing that Situ Mo promised to do.
"Okay, senior brother has said so, and I can only obey my fate."
Seeing that he couldn't beat Situ Mo in the end, Qin Lanzhou had no choice but to smile and nod in compromise.
——
How did Qin Lanzhou know that it was impossible for the real staff of the competition to take the initiative to visit.
The two staff members were sent by Song Jinyu for only one purpose, which was to persuade her to participate in the competition.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and they really said that Qin Lanzhou was moved to participate in the competition again.
The moment he learned that Qin Lanzhou finally agreed to participate in the competition, the haze in Song Jinyu's heart for the past week suddenly disappeared.
He sat alone in his office and laughed exaggeratedly out of a pig's cry.
The little assistant pushed the door in at this time, and saw Song Jinyu, who had never been smiling, actually laughed alone, and suddenly stood there like a wooden chicken, looking at Song Jinyu like a monster.
"Ahem...... What's up? ”
Song Jinyu, who was in an awkward position, coughed heavily, forcibly suppressed his smile, and quickly disguised himself as serious.
"Miss Tao Yuan said that she had something to do with you, but she didn't make an appointment in advance, do you want to meet her?"
"Let her in."
"Okay."
The little assistant immediately turned around and walked out, and not long after, Tao Yuan was welcomed into Song Jinyu's office by the little assistant.
After the little assistant closed the door, Tao Yuan looked around the huge office and smiled slightly at Song Jinyu:
"Mr. Song said last time that he wanted me to help you find out the news of Situ Mo and the Molan Workshop, and I have been thinking about it since I went back."
"Oh? What do you think about? ”
Song Jinyu shook the pen in his hand slightly, looking at Tao Yuan with consideration in his eyes.
"There are a lot of old friends between me and Situ Mo, and if I want to find out the news of the Molan Workshop, it's not a big problem, if it doesn't work, I can also go out on my own, but it's just ......"
"Miss Tao, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"It's just that I can't figure it out, Situ Mo is just an outdated craftsman, how can Mr. Song value it so much?"
Tao Yuan bit her lip and asked with doubts.
After she went back, she pondered repeatedly, but she still didn't quite understand Song Jinyu's intentions.
However, she had long heard that Song Jinyu had never played cards according to common sense in business, so she must have some use value in Situ Mo's eyes.
She was curious about it.
Song Jinyu had long expected her to ask this question, so he had already thought of the perfect reason to deal with it:
"Jinyi has just gained a foothold in Yancheng, and needs a group of craftsmen with outstanding craftsmanship to promote, I am optimistic about Situ Mo's brothers and sisters, I heard that the Molan Workshop is small in scale but has good performance, so I want to start with them first. Miss Tao, do you understand what I mean by that? ”
Song Jinyu's answer was not far from what Tao Yuan expected in her heart.
The older generation of craftsmen in Yancheng are either too senior to be hired at all, or they have already changed careers and retired, and the younger generation of fine gold craftsmen, even if the Situ Mo brothers and sisters are still slightly famous.
Although after the previous incident, Situ Mo's reputation has decreased sharply, but in recent years, under the management of Qin Lanzhou, the business of Molan Workshop has indeed become more and more prosperous, and Situ Mo has gradually regained the recognition of customers, which is also a fact that she has to admit.
She regretted that she was too eager for quick success, which not only hurt Situ Mo, but also made Qirun unable to raise his head until now, and was constantly suppressed by competitors. But if there is any chance to bring Qi Run back to life, she will fight for it no matter what.
"When Mr. Song said this, I understood. If I can provide the information that Mr. Song needs, what Mr. Song said in Youranju before, does it count? ”
Tao Yuan rolled his gaze and then asked.
"Whether it counts or not, it depends on whether the information provided by Miss Tao is valuable enough."
The calculation in Tao Yuan's eyes was looked at by Song Jinyu, and he continued to turn the pen in his hand and said slowly......
