TEXT NO.419 (MAN BEHIND THE BLACK MASK)
"And then? How's that asked? ”
"Sure enough, you guessed it, it's actually a Chinese woman." Booth shrugged and said with some regret. He originally made a bet with him about which country the other party was, and he always thought it was South Korea or Japan.
Qiao Yu hooked the corners of his mouth silently, while Booth continued: "I also asked her name, Mucha, please tell me what this means in the Chinese dictionary?" ”
"I don't know, maybe you can buy a copy and look through it." Suddenly getting up, Qiao Yu dropped the words and said.
Booth has a black line on his face, if he can read the Chinese dictionary, can he still ask him?
"Hey, what are you going to do?" Seeing Qiao Yu walk away, Booth also stood up.
"WC" Qiao Yu said coldly, so that the pace of keeping up had to stop.
Watching Qiao Yu walk away, Booth shrugged, always feeling that this Chinese friend was not in a good mood today, and he knew that he wouldn't pull him over to the ball.
In fact, Qiao Yu thought the same way at first, but after seeing Mucha appear, his mood was different.
Walking to the other corner, Qiao Yu flashed behind an ornament, and then watched Mucha walk towards the governor.
Lifting the hem of her skirt, Mucha tried her best to calm the tension in her heart and came to the other party: "You, hello, Mr. Lanter." ”
Governor Randt, who was chatting with someone, reacted quickly and stood up, then held out his hand to her: "Hello ma'am! ”
The other party didn't know her, but he didn't rule out communicating with her, which made Mucha a little more confident.
"Hello, I wonder if I can disturb you for a few minutes?" Mucha glanced at the people around him, trying to get their consent.
The other man nodded quickly and got up to leave.
Mr. Rand nodded and invited her to sit down.
That's a good start, isn't it?
Walking around to Mr. Rand's side, Mucha sat down and took off her mask on her own initiative, which she thought was polite. At least show your true face before you speak.
Mr. Randt took off his mask as well, and looked at her delicately made face and said, "Oh, I'm sorry I may know you, but ......," he said, spreading his hands, as if he couldn't remember. So I could only look at her with apologetic eyes.
Mucha hurriedly said, "Mr. Lanter, you don't have to feel sorry, we are indeed meeting for the first time. ”
"Oh, like this." Mr. Rand nodded knowingly, and then saw that she was an Oriental, "I wonder what this beautiful Oriental lady has to do with me?" ”
Since Mr. Rand had already asked like this, Mucha stopped saying polite words, and immediately got straight to the point: "That's right, I am from China, I am here on behalf of Maiqi Construction Group, my name is Mucha, this is my position." ”
She handed over her business card in time. It is written on the director of the architect of Maiqi.
Mr. Rand looked at the business card and nodded slightly, and then said, "Ms. Namu, what do you want to talk to?" ”
"Mr. Rand, I think you've heard about a project agreement that our company signed with you this year, and now there is a problem with the blueprints for this project." Mucha said.
Mr. Rand nodded, he had heard about it, but he said, "If you're going to talk about it, I can actually ask my friend to talk to you, he's the mayor here, and I think he knows the project better than I do." With that, Mr. Rand wanted to get up and look for his friend, but Mucha quickly grabbed him and said, "No, no, no, Mr. Rand, I think you can listen to me first?" ”
Mr. Rand looked at her with some disapproval, but under her sincere eyes, he reluctantly sat down: "Okay, you can say it." ”
"Well, I know that there is a problem with our company's design drawings this time, which affects the cooperation between the two parties. We have an unshirkable responsibility in this regard. But regarding this responsibility, I must say that this is the designer's own misappropriation, not our company's meaning. ”
"Ms. Mu, in fact, many companies will say this when they encounter this matter." Mr. Randt said with some impersonal feelings.
"Yes," this Mucha had to admit that it was not a good idea to put the blame on the designer, "although this is the designer's own reason, but our company also has an unshirkable responsibility, and not carefully reviewing before bidding is our negligence and our biggest mistake." ”
"I'm glad you recognized that." Mr. Randt also told her sincerely: "In that case, I don't think you should talk to me about this, but consider how to discuss with my friend about the compensation this time." He raised his hand again towards the middle of the room, pointing at an old masked man with graying hair.
"Mr. Rand, we hope there will be other ways to resolve the issue before we make reparations." Taking a breath, Mucha looked at him and said, "I don't think compensation is the best way to solve it, it's a loss for us." ”
"No, it's your loss, not us." Shaking his head, Mr. Rand knew very well that compensation was only an economic loss for their company, and there would be no one here.
But Mucha also shook his head and said, "No, this is also your loss, because you will lose a good building, and you will also lose the opportunity to cooperate with a good company." ”
"Hehe......" Mr. Rand chuckled, looking at her with a comic look in his eyes. Of course, he will definitely think so, because Maiqi can still claim to be excellent after making such a mistake, and anyone who hears it will feel ridiculous. But Mucha didn't feel that he was wrong, and continued to look at him with very serious eyes, even waiting for him to finish laughing.
However, the governor was still a little polite, and did not laugh for too long, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then what evidence do you have to show that we will lose these?" After all, too many companies say this, and if we all accept it, then we can't do anything, right? ”
"Yes, there is also a saying in China that there is no basis for words. But sir, if you don't give us such a chance, how can we prove it? ”
"What chances, re-tendering? Perhaps, but I don't think a company that has made a mistake can not participate again. ”
Mr. Rand's mouth is resolute.
His words made Mucha's expression sink, and his heart was also heavy.
"Ms. Mu, my suggestion is that you can go back to the company and tell your big boss that maybe they should consider the issue of compensation." Standing up, Mr. Rand felt that there was no need to talk any further.
"Mr. Rand!" Stopping him again, Mucha also stood up and said, "If we can come up with an original design before the bidding, and we won't change the previous project funds, can you give us a chance?" After a pause, she added, "And I'm sure the design will be in your hands soon." ”
Mr. Rand turned his head to look at her, and in the face of the determined eyes of this oriental woman, he pouted and blinked, then raised his hands and said, "OK, but I will leave here the day after tomorrow, I hope you can show me in between." ”
Day after tomorrow......
"Okay."
In agreement, Mucha nodded firmly.
Mr. Rand nodded disapprovingly, and then left her.
As soon as the governor walked away, Mucha felt that he had no strength in his body.
Sitting back on the couch, she suddenly felt dizzy, and the air conditioner here was too hot to make her feel very uncomfortable.
In the distance, Qiao Yu saw the scene they had just seen, although he couldn't hear what they were talking about, but he should know if he looked it up.
A shallow smile curled into his mouth, and he turned his head to look for Booth, and at this moment, a figure flashed in the corner of his eye. When he hurriedly turned his head to look at him, all he saw was a silhouette of the other party disappearing into the hallway.
Why...... He seemed to see ......
Blinked a little inexplicably, Qiao Yu wasn't sure if what he saw just now looked like that person.
After sitting on the couch for a while, Mucha got up with his mask on and walked to the glass door that led to the hallway.
Because it was so stuffy, she needed to breathe.
San Francisco is a city with a Mediterranean climate, with cool summers and cold winters. Just like this season. As soon as the glass door was opened, a cold wind blew in, blowing away the stuffy feeling that belonged to the room. The thin mermaid skirt couldn't block the cold wind, so Mucha could only stand by the door and open the gap a little and blow a little.
It's just that these cold winds can't blow away the heaviness that weighs on her heart, and she has already said something like that, can she do it?
No, it has to be done.
Mentally she said this, and her eyes stared aimlessly at the small park outside, and finally fell into a dim light. There stood a couple of men and women, the woman was sexy, wearing a short red dress that showed her thighs, and the man ......
Looking at the silhouette, she could still recognize his silhouette even though he was wearing a black mask.
It was as if someone had dropped a bomb in his head, and his eyes couldn't help but focus on him. I saw his figure clearly in an instant.
The blood rushed to her heart again ...... "Murvan", and she looked straight at the person in the distance.
It's him, it's him...... This silhouette ......
Ignoring the cold, she opened the door and ran out.
"Murvan...... Murfan ...... "It's him, it's him, it's him!"
This voice was crazy in her mind, and her heart was beating like a roar, and the cold wind blowing on her now not only did not cold, but made her clearer and more sober!
"Murpha!"
Running behind him, she almost choked and cried out.
The man who was talking to the woman was slightly stunned for a moment, and then slowly turned around, and under the black cat mask that almost covered his entire face, a pair of inky eyes looked at the woman who suddenly appeared with unfamiliar eyes.
But for Mucha, she could recognize him even if she couldn't see his face!
It's him, it's his!!
Tears have burst into her eyes, looking at the person in front of her who has finally returned, she can't describe her mood at the moment in words.
"Mo ......" opened her lips, and she slowly walked towards him, tears falling down the two pieces of the mask.
"Jay, do you know her?"
The woman behind the man asked in a puzzled tone.
And the man immediately replied in the affirmative: "No, I don't know." ”
The steps forward stopped suddenly, and it took a moment for Mucha to make sure that the words were indeed from him.
"Mefan, you...... What are you talking about? Yes, it's ......" By the way, she must have been wearing a mask so he couldn't recognize her. Quickly taking off the mask, she said, "Mo Fan is me!" It's me! ”
"Oh, do you understand what she says?" The woman in the red dress came to his side and gestured strangely.
He nodded slightly, then shook his head slightly.
