13 First try
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the room is cold.
Lin Qian was wearing pajamas, holding his chin with one hand, and sitting cross-legged on the bed.
Idle.
"I believe in you." The low and cool voice seemed to still linger in her ears, and gently drilled into it word by word.
I have to say that Lin Qian's feeling is a little wrong.
In fact, from the beginning when he said that "someone suggested the Mingsheng project to me", she was wrong.
When he said, "I have made a decision at noon", the feeling of discomfort is even more obvious.
In the end, he lightly threw out three heavy words: "I believe in you". Lin Qian finally clearly realized that this feeling of discomfort but a little dark was called "flattered".
Of course, she has always been quite "favored" wherever she goes. In college, he was the left arm and right arm of the teacher and the backbone of the club; When she was in Si Meiqi, she also performed well for three consecutive years, and even the company's boss Chen Zheng wanted to "spoil" her too much......
But now that the person who "spoils" her is replaced by Li Zhicheng, it will be different.
He has no experience in shopping malls at all, and he is a soldier who talks less and does more. I didn't see him buy it from other subordinates, but he said "I believe you" to her alone, which really made Lin Qian feel more weighty than others when he said it.
Lin Qian even had the illusion of incarnating as a "minister". But isn't it, the lord is young and can be bullied, just because he got acquainted with her when he was on a private patrol and appreciated her character and talent, so he relied on her to refer to the deer as a horse...... Lin Qian even had a ridiculous and extremely ambitious thought in his mind, and of course, she immediately threw it aside and ignored it.
In any case, the time and place are favorable, and this is a good opportunity for her to become one of the real power figures of Aida Group.
Thinking of this, she had made up her mind, picked up her mobile phone, and dialed Lin Mochen.
After listening to her request, Lin Mochen only smiled lightly: "Why?" You have been working at Si Meiqi for three years, and how many difficulties have you encountered. neither did they ask me for help. I've only been the assistant to the president of AIDA for three days now, and you want me to intervene and help your boss turn over? ”
Lin Qian smiled "hehe": "I have my own measure, don't you still trust my judgment?" ”
——
The next morning.
Lin Qian sat in his position, holding a copy of the "Mingsheng Project Work Plan" that the marketing department rushed out overnight.
As Xue Mingtao said yesterday, the plan also mentions that the biggest difficulty today is the establishment of customer relationships. And the most critical thing in the customer relationship is naturally the other party's senior management.
Mingsheng is a pivotal large enterprise in China, and its senior leaders are also well-known figures in the domestic business community.
They are only starting now, at most they will be connected with the other party's office director and purchasing manager, and it will definitely take time and opportunity to reach the top management. The worst case is that it may not be possible to meet with the top management on the day of the other party's formal bidding. Then this project is also equivalent to yellow.
At this time, Xue Mingtao came out of Li Zhicheng's office with several marketing managers. All of them were solemn and hurried. Lin Qian looked at the gap and knocked on the door to enter.
Li Zhicheng did not sit behind the desk, but sat on the sofa in the middle, his arms resting on his knees, his fingers crossed, his chin propped up, and he was contemplating.
It was rare to see him thinking so intently, Lin Qian moved lightly, first put away a few paper cups on the table for drinking tea, and then added hot water to his large military cup on the table and brought it to him.
He raised his eyes to look directly at her, quietly waiting for her to speak.
Lin Qian smiled: "Mr. Li, for the Mingsheng project, maybe I can ......" Before the words fell, the door of the office was pushed open, Gu Yanzhi walked in, saw the two of them, his expression did not change, he sat down on the sofa next to Li Zhicheng, and said to him: "Let's discuss that matter again." ”
Li Zhicheng didn't answer, but looked at Lin Qian again: "You finish." Gu Yanzhi also raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Lin Qian paused and went straight to the topic: "My brother is doing investment work in the United States, and the DP Investment Group he used to work for is a major foreign shareholder who holds part of Mingsheng's outstanding shares, and he has a good relationship with them. I think if it's convenient, I can ask him to help get in touch, maybe I can arrange for Mr. Li to meet with the senior management of Mingsheng Group. ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw Gu Yanzhi's eyes light up obviously. Lin Qian knew that he had really talked about the idea that they were currently having a headache, and he was secretly happy in his heart.
The two looked at Li Zhicheng at the same time.
He had straightened up and sat back on the couch, his brow still and his eyes unpalatable with no obvious joy, as if he were weighing her advice.
However, after a brief silence, he spoke in a low voice, "I don't need to use your connections. "Calm, there seems to be a hint of stubbornness.
Lin Qian was stunned for a moment.
Gu Yanzhi was also slightly stunned, he and Lin Qian glanced at each other, and there was already a playful smile on their faces: "Lin Qian, you are used to staying in the army, and you haven't turned a corner yet." The last thing he likes is to take advantage of this kind of ...... Well, nepotism to achieve the goal. ”
Lin Qian: "......"
Nepotism?
Gu Yanzhi's tone was half-true and half-false, and Lin Qian couldn't tell what he meant for a while. Can...... The boss doesn't really "axe" like this, does it?
She looked at Li Zhicheng. He was looking at her, too.
Lin Qian: "I made this suggestion because I felt it was a convenient and quick method. And ......"
His dark eyes were like bottomless pools, Lin Qian looked at it, and his ears suddenly sounded yesterday's words "I believe in you", and his heart was hot.
"And what?" Suddenly, in a rare way, he asked.
Lin Qian looked at him and replied silently, "...... Moreover, throughout the ages, nepotism has been the best and most practical. ”
Gu Yan on the side was stunned and laughed out loud.
Even Li Zhicheng's eyes were stunned, and then a shallow smile rose, his thin lips were rarely bent, and his cold facial features softened a little.
Lin Qian's face was slightly hot.
Gu Yanzhi smiled and stood up: "Okay, Lin Qian even said such a famous saying, we as leaders can't help but be grateful." I'll make a decision on this matter, Zhicheng, don't worry about it, it's decided, Lin Qian, you will do it immediately. ”
Li Zhicheng didn't make a sound, and Lin Qian didn't look at his face at all, and quickly replied, "Okay!" "Turned around and went out.
——
Since it is rare for the only sister to ask for help, Lin Mochen does not wait for "she confirms with the leader first". Lin Qian had just come out of Li Zhicheng's office, and Lin Mochen had already called: "It's an appointment, it's four o'clock tomorrow afternoon." ”
Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, and immediately slapped his mouth: "Brother, you are amazing!" But I thought in my heart, Nima is still so domineering. What if Li Zhicheng really refuses today? Lin Mochen's attitude is very clear, his sister's kindness, Aida boss is willing to receive it, but he is not willing to receive it...... Bear it too!
According to Lin Mochen, Kang Zhicong, general manager of Mingsheng Group, will return from a business trip to Beijing at noon tomorrow. Lin Qian calculated and felt that his brother had set this time quite well: Kang Zhicong arrived at the office at about two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and he took a break to see them. Mingsheng got off work at half past five, and there would definitely be no other arrangements for him later, and it was rare and enough to be able to talk for one to one and a half hours.
After rubbing in his seat for a while, Lin Qian went in to find the two bigwigs and reported the matter. Gu Yanzhi was naturally happy, and immediately called someone from the marketing department to come over. And Li Zhicheng glanced at her and didn't speak.
Lin Qian thought to himself, he wouldn't really be unhappy, right?
It should still be ...... Happily, after all, the situation is stronger than people.
Evening.
Xue Mingtao came out of the president's office again with a few henchmen. Only this time, everyone's faces were obviously bright. Lin Qian raised his head and smiled politely at them, but Xue Mingtao walked up to her and stretched out his hand: "Assistant Lin, I listened to Mr. Li, thank you!" Solved the big problem of our marketing department. ”
Lin Qian suddenly stood up with a smile on his face.
Hey, did the boss praise her?
When they left, Lin Qian secretly glanced at the situation in the half-hidden door. Not going to leave yet? Is the gentleman very happy?
At this moment, as if sensing her movements, a cold voice came from inside: "You come in." ”
Lin Qian pushed the door and entered, and saw Li Zhicheng standing at the table, turning his head to look at her.
Lin Qian smiled: "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Li?" ”
But he didn't answer. Seemingly groaning for a moment, he turned and walked over to her.
At this time, the light outside the window is dim and the twilight is low. Above his head, there was a clear light like water waves, illuminating his eyebrows, the bridge of his nose, and his thin lips with a clear and soft luster.
He walked up to her, a step away, and stood still, staring straight at her.
His eyes were very dark and deep, and there was no expression on his face. Lin Qian's heart slowly lifted: Why did he come so close? Didn't he always keep people from approaching?
Under his burning gaze, she froze.
"Why are you helping me so much?" A deep, calm voice.
Lin Qian was slightly stunned for a moment, and replied frankly: "Because you are worth it." ”
He looked down at her, his eyes seemed quieter.
"Thank you, Lin Qian."
Lin Qian blinked.
I wanted to thank you......
Lin Qian looked down at the distance between the two of them again, and then looked up at his handsome and cold face.
Boss, did you come so close to say thank you to show sincerity and formality?
Is...... Honesty is home.
Facing his clear gaze, Lin Qian paused slightly.
How to deal with the praise of the boss is also an art in the workplace. Don't be arrogant, but don't be humble.
She smiled lightly, straightened her waist, waved her hand, and gave a military salute beautifully and neatly: "Major, my honor." ”
Sure enough, the sycophant slapped the right one again.
Li Zhicheng's dark eyes rose with a smile.
Lin Qian also smiled.
Now it is said that subordinates should also have the ability to manage their superiors. She should manage him well, right?
Such a person with facial paralysis smiled at her twice today.
was secretly complacent in his heart, and suddenly heard him speak again: "I will reciprocate." Henceforth. ”
——
Soon it was the afternoon of the next day.
The Cadillac drove smoothly through the city. Lin Qian sat in the passenger seat, and it was Xue Mingtao who was driving. Gu Yanzhi and Li Zhicheng were naturally in the back seat.
The car drove into the CBD area in the west of the city, and among the buildings on both sides, you could see the skyscraper of Mingsheng's headquarters in the distance, dark brown and heavy.
They were received by the deputy director of Mingsheng's office. A thin man in his forties, with a gentle demeanor, not much enthusiasm, but the etiquette has arrived. After greeting each other, he led them to a small reception room in the general manager's office area on the top floor.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Kang, there is a temporary guest here today. I'll come and ask you when I'm done. He said.
Of course, Aida said yes again and again, and the deputy director pushed the door out and went to get busy first.
They arrived early, just after 3:45. The room was silent, the four of them looked at each other, Gu Yanzhi smiled first, and said to Li Zhicheng: "Mr. Li will talk more for a while, I heard that Mr. Kang is from a technical background, and he doesn't talk much, but don't be relatively silent at that time." ”
Lin Qian and Xue Mingtao both laughed. And Li Zhicheng raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Very good, like-minded, silence is golden." ”
When he said this, his face was expressionless, and Lin Qian and Xue Mingtao were stunned for a moment. It wasn't until they saw the smile on Gu Yanzhi's face that they reacted: Could it be ...... Is the boss telling a bad joke? And then at the same time, they immediately laughed.
But laughing back at the smile, what Gu Yanzhi said was really a problem that Lin Qian was worried about. In the end, the king sees the king, or the little king sees the king. It's impossible to expect the boss to become long-sleeved and good at dancing. She really didn't have any idea of what would happen in this meeting.
Minutes and seconds passed.
At four o'clock, the deputy director pushed the door in again. Lin Qian and the others all stood up, and Xue Mingtao asked with a smile, "Okay?" ”
Who knew that he showed an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, Mr. Gu, Mr. Kang's last guest hasn't left yet, the atmosphere is just right, and I don't want to disturb it." ”
Gu Yanzhi immediately replied: "It's okay, let's wait, thank you." ”
The director smiled and nodded, and withdrew.
However, this waited until 4:40. Gu Yanzhi couldn't sit still, so he sent Xue Mingtao to urge him twice, but each time he returned in vain. Li Zhicheng still had a light face, but he was very calm. And Lin Qian's mood was also faintly anxious.
Mingsheng got off work at half past five, and just heard the director say that Mr. Kang still had a dinner in the evening, and he was going to leave after work, which meant that the time left for them was less than forty minutes.
This is a very bad start. It is important to know that the first meeting of the senior management is very important, and if you can't impress the other party, you may not be able to make a second appointment in the future. It is even more impossible to expect Mr. Kang to lean towards their side in this project.
Why is it so unlucky? It's rare to make an appointment, but someone temporarily cut the queue, and they have been chatting for so long?
Seeing that it was almost five o'clock, Lin Qian stood up: "I'll go to the bathroom." As soon as I pushed open the door and walked out, I saw a group of people in suits and leather shoes walking out of the other side of the hall. That direction is where Mr. Kang's office is located. And the first person, tall and handsome, with a smile on his face, who is not Chen Zheng?
I saw him leading a group of subordinates and shaking hands with the deputy director: "Director Liao, thank you, you don't need to send it." I had a great chat with Mr. Kang today, so I've delayed you a lot. I'll have tea with you another day. ”
The deputy director's face smiled like a flower: "Mr. Chen is polite, I'll send you down." ”
At this time, Chen Zheng suddenly seemed to notice something, and looked up here. Lin Qianren was outside the door, and it was too late to hide, so he could only stand in place and look at him from afar.
Chen Zheng didn't seem to be surprised that she would appear here, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he walked away surrounded by everyone.
——
At this time, Kang Zhicong, the general manager of Mingsheng, was sitting in the wide-backed sofa in the office, rubbing his eyebrows.
He is an entrepreneur in his fifties, with a stern face and a strong spirit. He usually doesn't smile, but those who are familiar with him know that this engineer-turned-CEO actually has a lot of ideas about business management and development, and his ideas are very right.
This procurement project is to purchase briefcases for the group's branches in more than 30 provinces and tens of thousands of employees. In his opinion, the project is not big, but it involves the unified image of the group and the welfare of employees, and quality is very important.
In the early stage, I had contact with Xin Baorui and Simic for a while. Xinbaorui bar, although the quality is good, and it is the first in the industry, but they have provided products for many state-owned enterprises, and the prices are relatively high, so it is impossible for the quotation to Mingsheng to go down. He has basically been ruled out.
Although Simic is not as strong as Xinbaorui, he is willing to provide them with the best products, and has repeatedly said that the price must be the most favorable in the market. As for Chen Zheng, a young man, although he didn't like it very much at first and felt a little too floaty, he gradually got in touch with it and felt that it was okay. And since he and below, other management cadres have a good evaluation of Si Meiqi and Chen Zheng. So he basically gave him the project.
Today, Chen Zheng said that he had something important to see him, and he did. On the one hand, the core products of New Baorui were introduced again; He also gave him a set of ancient chess games.
He flipped through a few pages and was hooked. I have to say that the young man's gift is very much to his heart.
As for the AIDA introduced by the foreign shareholders? He had heard it before, saying that it was about to go bankrupt, and he didn't know how to get on the line with the foreign shareholder. I saw it and coped with it.
——
The time when Gu Yanzhi and Li Zhicheng entered Mr. Kang's office was 5:05.
Since then, Lin Qian has been sitting in the small living room, looking at the closed door of Mr. Kang's office from afar through the door, and silently reciting in his heart: come out slowly, come out slowly......
To be honest, she was really afraid that they would be dealt with after they went in and sat for about ten minutes. In addition to worrying, he scolded Chen Zheng in his heart. What a simple and effective move, he talked to Mr. Kang for so long first, and Mr. Kang took a plane during the day, and he must be very tired at the moment. At half past five in the evening, there was another dinner, and if I died, I could talk for twenty-five minutes.
Soon it was half past five. Lin Qian stared intently at the door.
The deputy director outside the door obviously noticed the time, stepped forward, knocked lightly on the door, probed in, didn't know what to say, and soon came out again, and gently closed the door.
Hey......
Lin Qian and Xue Mingtao glanced at each other and didn't speak.
At 5:45, it didn't come out.
Six o'clock, not out yet. The deputy chief knocked on the door again, and then, like last time, withdrew silently. Lin Qian saw him enter the office and pick up the phone, he should have gone to push off the dinner.
Lin Qian and Xue Mingtao were faintly excited. Looks like a good conversation? Also, even if Li Zhicheng is not good at words, with Gu Yanzhi here, he is an old fox in the shopping mall, maybe he is voting for Mr. Kang's heart.
Half past six, still not out yet.
It wasn't until after seven o'clock that I heard a "pop" sound, the door was pushed open, Gu Yanzhi walked out first, with a smile on his face, and then Li Zhicheng, with a shallow smile between his indifferent eyebrows and eyes, as if he looked up in her direction. In the end, it turned out to be Kang Zhicong, who sent them out in person with a smile.
The author has something to say: I read everyone's message yesterday, and I actually want to say it
In case you didn't realize it, this was my first foray into real "realism" writing. In the past, although solving cases and underworld were now said, they were still far from the lives of ordinary people. I have always lived in the world of the Golden Iron Horse, and I have never been to the world.
My friend is with Hou Zhu, and this new article is also the first time to write that the hero and heroine start from scratch, and the two are happy. You probably didn't realize that she used to write all about "Reunion after Breaking the Mirror".
We are quite satisfied not to stay in the field we are best at, but to make such breakthroughs and attempts. If I hadn't tried something like this, I might still be writing science fiction right now. At that time, science fiction was a very safe field for me, and I was familiar with it and had a good reputation. But then there won't be "Snail" and "Eyes Closed" to meet you.
This book, everyone thinks it's not badly written, and I'm naturally happier with it; If the data score of the article is not as good as my writing to solve the case, I will have no regrets.
Take 10,000 steps back, temporarily leaving the subject matter you are good at, in fact, in order to make a better return. Writing such a realistic book and learning so much information and knowledge will be of great and even immeasurable help to me in writing crime-solving and science fiction in the future, and I will definitely be able to bring you greater surprises in the future. I think that an author should plan and stick to his writing career in this way.
As for you, if you like this theme and feel that you can gain something, please continue to spend it with me; I don't like it, I want to see reasoning science fiction, it's okay, I'll chase it again~~ The road of life is still very long, I have to write for at least five years, what is the hurry~~
Okay, I'll say these words today, so that everyone knows my inner thoughts and intentions, and I won't nag in the future, and concentrate on coding words to show you~ (Actually, I don't like to analyze people's deep thoughts, I like to sell cute...... )
Happy reading the text~
