Chapter 6: Chance Encounters
Among the women I admire, my best friend Shen Yi can be regarded as one, not because she was born white and rich, nor because she was born beautiful, but because she is carefree by nature and does not worry about anything, her motto is only one sentence: When the sky falls, there is always a tall person on top. Therefore, after graduating from college for four years, our classmates rarely get together, but not seeing each other does not mean that the friendship is estranged, but the deeper the friendship, the more it is not the icing on the cake and easy flattery, but the rare to send carbon in the snow.
After entering the Rosemoon, there was a second addition to the woman I admired, and that was my direct boss, Quiet.
Her desperate Saburo style is mainly reflected in the fact that she is always energetic, always sassy when walking, her bright eyes are never tired, she can never imitate the sense of proportion when negotiating with customers, and the guidelines and strategies when holding meetings with employees will never be repeated.
Today, I was ordered to go with her to the southwest end of the time square of another listed company, Zhongtian Group to negotiate business, as my company's long-term VIP customer, Zhongtian's senior team has undergone great changes not long ago, in order not to lose customers, quiet and even our entire team of energy is spent on them, today's visit can be described as prepared, can also be regarded as a meeting without suspense.
However, although it was a routine work, I never thought that today's meeting had something to do with me, let alone that I would meet an acquaintance in Zhongtian Group, this acquaintance is none other than my good neighbor who just moved into room 1208 opposite my house a month ago, the man who came to my house in the middle of the night to borrow candles, and then plagiarized my menu in the porridge house, and then disappeared completely.
He is still wearing a well-cut black suit, his face is still pale and different from normal people, but his thin lips are not as dark as the one he saw before, with a slightly ruddy color, which makes me think that he has not been indulging in love recently, so he has disappeared, and this is the red and pink.
"Mr. Ling, hello, I have heard of the name for a long time. I'm Quiet Rosetsuki, and I've called to make an appointment with your assistant before. ”
Although I was slightly distracted by the occasional acquaintance on such a solemn occasion, the quiet of the battle-hardened battlefield had already stepped forward with a smile, introduced myself generously, and by the way, stretched out my jade-like right hand to shake it amicably.
But I think there is always something wrong with this normal ceremonial gesture applied to this eccentric man.
As it turned out, my guess was very correct, Ming Jing was a mature, beautiful, quite capable and charming strong woman, but in front of my "good neighbor", she was rejected for the first time.
He glanced at her jade hand lightly, passed her slightly sideways, sat down in the first row of his left hand as usual, and opened the black folder in front of him by the way.
His male assistant immediately invited him to sit down quietly with a smile on the round, and went out to make tea by the way and sent it in, the room was full of tea, and he was quiet and sat back opposite Mr. Ling calmly, and before he opened the document in front of him, he put it up almost, "I heard that Ling always comes back from Chinatown in the United States, I happen to have a friend who works there, and when it comes to your reputation, everyone knows it, which really makes me admire it very much." ”
I sat next to her, and I always felt that it would not be too much for her to bother to please her in normal times, but the man she faced today was really strange, and she might lose face again.
Sure enough, the man opposite didn't raise his head, just looked at the contract terms in the folder, and asked for a while, "Has our contract changed?" ”
"Huh?" Quiet stunned, looking at the Chinese piece with a sneering face, I was originally the person who accompanied me, but I saw the man on the opposite side suddenly turned his eyes, his eyebrows were cold, and his voice was clear, "You say." ”
My heart jumped, and I wanted to scold my mother with hatred.
Looking at her quietly and surprised, I had no choice but to show a smiling face, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she had to say, "Since Mr. Ling asked you to speak, what are you hesitating about?" ”
I sighed helplessly, changed my professional expression, looked up at the man opposite, and explained the changes to the contract.
In fact, my explanation is very rough, after all, this transaction is quiet and fully responsible, I mainly cooperate with her, sort out the information of everyone in the team, and then modify the plan according to her opinions and suggestions, and that's it. As a newcomer to the jewelry industry, I don't know much about many of the professional terms and terms in the materials, and I have a lot of time to learn and deepen in the future.
But for some reason, the man on the other side listened attentively, never interrupted, or raised any questions and dissatisfactions, until I finished explaining, he nodded, and continued to bury his head in the documents, as if judging whether there was any discrepancy between my explanation and the terms of the contract.
In the corner of my eye, I clearly saw Quiet's very dissatisfied expression, she should be very dissatisfied with my performance, but I really tried my best, but I inevitably hated the man opposite who might affect my three-month practical evaluation results, and my disgust for him deepened a little, and I just wanted to never cross paths with him again.
After a while, the man across from me closed the folder, swept me with his dark eyes, and fell back to Quiet.
Silence immediately smiled, leaned slightly, and made a gesture of listening carefully.
The man's slightly magnetic voice flowed slowly in the conference room, although it was slow and good, it only made me feel harsh, "For the personnel changes of Zhongtian, it will not affect the cooperation with Guiyue, although I do not agree with the individual modifications in the contract, but your company can make repairs again, I hope that the next time we meet, we can achieve satisfactory results for both parties." ”
Then, without waiting for a quiet reaction, he got up and left, leaving us both stunned and unsure why.
"I'm sorry, in fact, Mr. Ling means that our cooperation will continue, but some of the terms of the contract are not satisfactory, and we can negotiate and modify them later to achieve satisfactory results for both parties, congratulations." His male assistant saw that we were confused, and quickly explained with a smile, and after listening to his words, his quiet heart finally let go, and got up to shake hands with him to express his gratitude.
On the way back from Zhongtian, Jing Jing couldn't help but ask me, "Do you know Ling Kai?" ”
"What?" I was slightly stunned, after all, the name was a little unfamiliar.
She rolled her eyes at me, "Mr. Ling of Zhongtian." ”
"Oh," I snapped, "he seems to be my new neighbor, but we've only met twice." ”
After listening to my explanation, she asked in disbelief, "Which neighborhood do you live in?" ”
"Hung View Garden." I'll be honest with you.
"Will he live in that kind of neighborhood?" Quietly turned her head and muttered to herself, and then didn't say anything more.
I bowed my head and followed her, I really didn't like her wrong perception of Hongjing Garden Community, when I first chose this community, I referred to a lot of data, many white-collar workers in Nancheng have chosen this community, not because of her convenient transportation, but because it is the only place in the downtown area, but quiet and comfortable.
