8 Chapter 8
"I'll drive, you wait here, and I'll take you home in a moment." Huo Qingzhang has always been resolute in doing things, and after saying what he wanted to say, he turned his head and left, regardless of what others wanted.
When he drove to the intersection to pick up Wen Jiang, he saw Wen Jiang standing at the door of a shop, staring deeply at the display case through the floor-to-ceiling window.
The jewels were refracted by the magnesium lamp, and the small dots of starlight mist reflected in his eyes.
He looked at it seriously, as if the soul was all attracted.
Hearing the sound of the car's engine, Wen Jiang came back to his senses, but his eyes were stretched, and he lingered between the display cabinet and the car repeatedly, with a reluctant gaze, envy and a trace of regret.
As a top luxury brand that has been around for a hundred years, the price of Lanqi jewelry is naturally high, and the local tyrants have their own exclusive sales to get the goods, and they will not patronize the store on weekdays, so the store looks deserted, but in fact, it all depends on the price to scare away ordinary people.
Although Huo Qingzhang wanted to get rid of the relationship with him as soon as possible, he didn't think he was the kind of scumbag who didn't recognize people when he lifted his pants, and after thinking for a while, he opened his wallet and took out a card and handed it over: "Go in and take a look, you can swipe this card if you want to buy anything, the password is 940811." ”
Wen Jiang smiled and didn't take the card: "No need, if the representative is willing to wait for me, I want to go in and have a look, so I don't have to buy it." ”
Huo Qingzhang didn't continue to pull with him, closed the car window and chose a soothing English song, closed his eyes and rested.
Wen Jiang rarely stays in luxury stores in person before wearing books, as long as the season comes, a large number of brands will rush to the door to beg him to take a look at their jewelry, even if he doesn't accept endorsements, he can wear their brands and show his face on various occasions to drive consumption.
I have been in contact with the counter sisters and know that they are all exquisite people, but this time when I entered the door, Wen Jiang had a feeling that she had strayed into the only store in the barren mountains and mountains-
The boss relies on his own family to be a big man at all: love to buy or not, don't buy and get out.
Even, after entering the door, Wen Jiang didn't even see a cabinet sister.
He looked around and saw that the cabinet ladies in professional skirts were all gathered in the same place, and in the luxurious and elegant velvet sofa sat a noble young man, and a circle of cabinet ladies around him knelt on one knee, some helped pour tea, and the rest held jewelry boxes in their hands, trying on jewelry for the young man one by one.
Wen Jiang: Finally met, Comrade Little White Flower.
Although I have only seen the true face of the original male protagonist in the photo, I was impressed, so I recognized at a glance that the man who was surrounded by the cabinet sisters was the original male protagonist Yun Shanchu.
The encounter between cannon fodder and the male protagonist is so dramatic.
The little white flower is delicate and elegant, in the original language, it is "a variety of broken jade full of a sense of brokenness", he is gentle and simple and not afraid of power, this kind of person is as light as a chrysanthemum, and his personality is the most attractive to the villain Huo Qingzhang, so even a perverted and dirty villain is willing to leave the only pure land in his heart for him.
Fortunately, Huo Qingzhang didn't come in, and he couldn't see the white moonlight he was thinking about.
Wen Jiang still remembers this plot vividly.
The original owner thought that he had climbed the villain's bed and had a backer, and wanted to compete with Yun Shanchu for the endorsement of Lanqi Jewelry in the new quarter, and without the villain's knowledge, he overstepped the line and took out the villain to suppress the brand, and the brand began to believe it, even though Yun Shanchu was the only spokesperson in their hearts, but they were afraid of the villain's financial power, so they had to sign a two-year endorsement contract with the original owner.
Later, the matter fermented on the Internet, and the villain knew that someone was using his identity to act arrogantly, and tortured people half to death.
Thinking of this, Wen Jiang subconsciously looked at Yun Shanchu.
Sure enough, as written in the original text, even if he was born in a wealthy family, he did not have the arrogant habits of a rich man at all, but in the face of the cabinet sisters who knelt down on one knee to try on jewelry for him, he would gently help them up and say "all beings are equal".
But even if the cabinet sister stood up on her legs, her spirit was still kneeling, bending over at ninety degrees, and her face was full of flattering smiles.
The counter sister who poured the tea looked like a budding newcomer, and her hand trembled and the tea overflowed, and she was immediately reprimanded by the foreman: "I can't do such a small thing, I don't need you here, go and greet other guests." ”
Several people immediately changed their faces in the face of Yun Shanchu and kept apologizing.
The foreman whispered to another experienced counter sister: "You go and watch the newcomer, don't let her go wrong again." ”
Ten minutes after Wen Jiang entered the door, someone finally stepped forward to greet him.
Although most people can't recognize the original owner's pasty face, it is a necessary professional ethics for the counter sister - memorize the face of each guest and turn everyone into a potential customer.
The cabinet sister who made a mistake in pouring tea recognized Wen Jiang, but she didn't pay much attention to the rights and wrongs of the entertainment industry, she just wanted to complete her performance as much as possible and make more money to treat her mother.
She really wanted to negotiate a big deal, although she brought it up from the counter of the affordable brand, but it was not inexperienced, but the serious-looking senior stood beside her, the pressure came, and the originally organized language became messy:
"Sir...... Good evening sir, and welcome to Lanqi Jewelry, your ...... You see...... Just take a look. ”
Wen Jiang glanced at the wall clock on the wall, estimated the time, and casually pointed to a bracelet and said, "Can you give me this to try?" ”
The cabinet sister hurriedly put on her gloves and opened the drawer: "Yes, yes!" ”
As soon as she took out the bracelet, she suddenly realized that she should prepare tea and fruit snacks for the guests, and she had to leave, but she couldn't throw such valuable jewelry here, and she panicked for a while, and she was at a loss.
The old-timer next to him said with compassion: "I'm sorry, this bracelet is a product that the guests over there have ordered to try on, you can take a look at something else." ”
The senior glared at Meng Xin, and carefully put the bracelet into the cabinet.
Wen Jiang was not annoyed, looked around and pointed to another bracelet: "This one can be tried on." ”
Meng new cabinet sister: "It's okay ......"
She just reached out to take it, but was held down by the senior, and the eyes were killed, and then the senior smiled at Wen Jiang's yin and yang: "I'm sorry, this one was also booked by the guest to try it on, we must ensure that the jewelry is clean and complete before he tries it on, please understand." ”
She said that she hoped that Wen Jiang would understand, but she acted and spoke in a tone that did not ask for forgiveness at all.
Sister Mengxin's lips were trembling, her eyes were red, Wen Jiang was really afraid that she would cry on the spot in the next second.
The foreman noticed the small commotion here, and did not mean to ask, but only signaled to them with his eyes: just look at the one who does not buy it and send it away, don't waste time on him.
The senior counter sister smiled falsely: "Sir, I'm sorry, we will close our business soon, many of the jewelry here are booked by the guests over there to try on, and we can't distinguish which ones you can try on for you at a glance, so it's better to wait for us to sort out and come back tomorrow." ”
She didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning of the seductive was obvious.
Wen Jiang stared straight at her, although he was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes.
He turned his head to look at Meng Xin and nodded at her: "Thank you for your hospitality, see you tomorrow." ”
When he left the counter, except for Meng Xin, there was no other counter sister who politely said "goodbye" to him.
So much so that after going out, before he went far, Wen Jiang heard the reprimand of his predecessors to Meng Xin:
"I don't have any professional vision at all, and I can't pay the rent, what is the pasty guy wasting time on him, what do you think the place you are staying in now is still the poor people's affordable brand stores you used to be? Let's have a snack. ”
Wen Jiang silently walked to the front of the car and tapped on the window.
Huo Qingzhang unlocked the car door, Wen Jiang got into the car, hung his head and didn't say a word.
"Done? So fast. Huo Qingzhang thought that he would have to wait for a long time, but Wen Jiang only went in for ten minutes and came out.
Wen Jiang buried her head low, and the slightly curly hair hanging from her forehead covered her eyes.
He still didn't speak, only nodded slightly.
"I'll ask you one last time, and I'm sure there's nothing I want to buy." Huo Qingzhang lit the fire and started the car.
Wen Jiang nodded silently.
But it was this unusual silence that made Huo Qingzhang hesitate.
He held the steering wheel tightly for a long time, but turned off the engine, opened the car door and went down, came to the co-pilot, pulled the car door and said to Wen Jiang: "I don't think you seem to have seen it, get out of the car, I just have time today." ”
"No need, I'm done......" Wen Jiang said.
"I don't like to say it twice, get out of the car." Huo Qingzhang's voice was cold, with an irresistible determination.
No one saw that under Wen Jiang's aggrieved face, the imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth was fleeting.
got out of the car, and saw Wen Jiang slowly grinding foreign workers in the back, Huo Qingzhang took his hand and dragged it into the store.
As soon as he entered the door, he said in a deep voice, "Let your foreman come over." ”
"Good evening, Representative Huo." Hearing the movement, the cabinet sisters trotted over and stood in a row and bowed respectfully.
When they saw Wen Jiang behind Huo Qingzhang, they felt uneasy that the sky was falling.
The foreman sorted out the bow tie and trotted all the way, and bowed 90 degrees deeply: "Good evening, Representative Huo, I am today's foreman, may I ask what you need." ”
Huo Qingzhang said: "Take all the new products of the season, I have something I want to confirm." ”
Yun Shanchu, who was trying on jewelry, saw Huo Qingzhang and immediately got up, his expression was uncontrollable joy: "Brother Qingzhang, it's a coincidence, I met here." ”
Wen Jiang: ......
Forget that someone's white moonlight is still here. Misguided.
Huo Qingzhang just glanced at him faintly, silently.
Until the foreman brought all the new products, Huo Qingzhang picked up a bracelet casually, looked at it twice, and then-
Thrown on the ground, the leather shoes were stepped on and repeatedly crushed.
The cabinet sisters were collectively dumbfounded, and reflexively wanted to rescue the bracelet from the sole of their shoes, but after facing Huo Qingzhang's indifferent and slightly stunned face, they immediately didn't dare to move, and shrunk their necks like a row of quails and trembled.
Huo Qingzhang's face is indeed terrifying enough, and children who don't know the world are directly scared and cry when they see it.
"Do you think it's because of how fragile things can't stand being touched, or are you good at watching people put on the dishes?" Huo Qingzhang casually retracted his feet and snorted coldly.
Needless to say, the cabinet ladies understood.
Someone is suing!
But! Please! Don't find fault now, the general agent of the brand will come over in a while, and if they see it, they won't be able to explain it.
Unfortunately, their prayers were not heard.
The agent of Lan Qi Jewelry entered the door with a group of younger brothers.
Immediately, they saw Huo Qingzhang's cold face, the bracelet that was worn out on the ground, and the look of the cabinet sisters as if they were facing a great enemy.
The most unfortunate thing is that Lanqi Jewelry has been trying to cooperate with Asia Cube Group many years ago, trying to rely on the influence of Asia Cube to open the domestic market, but Huo Qingzhang has rejected it many times, and the reason given is to adhere to its original intention and seriously do the electronic technology industry.
The meeting between the two was another commercial tout, of course, it was only Lan Qi who was unilaterally touted, and Huo Qingzhang only responded politely, but his response was always mediocre.
Huo Qingzhang didn't want to talk about business at this time, and said: "I just want to take my friends to choose a few pieces of jewelry today, since your store can try them on, it just happens to give my friends a choice, I also have time to wait today, everyone continue." ”
With that, he walked to the side and sat down on the couch.
The counter sisters are the same as just now, as if kneeling down on one knee to help try on is their service feature, but Wen Jiang doesn't like this kind of service feature, standing at the counter, and said to the clumsy budding new clerk:
"Can you show me this?"
Sister Meng Xin didn't expect that Wen Jiang would choose her as a clumsy little Meng Xin among a group of experienced seniors.
Teacher Wen, I love you! I'm your 10-year-old fan from today.
"Absolutely! This bracelet is the main natural theme style of Lanqi this year, representing a clear and clear fabric, which matches your image very well. "Sister Meng Xin's cabinet took off the bracelet with her hands and feet, respectful and not humble or arrogant.
In an instant, the wind direction was completely reversed, and Yun Shanchu, who was still being hugged by the front and back just now, was like a lonely old man, and no one paid attention to him.
He didn't say a word, his eyes wandered back and forth between Huo Qingzhang and Wen Jiang, his thin lips pursed, and he made a sharp arc.
The bracelet is motif-based with bay leaves, and the platinum openwork beads are like closed hands, holding elegant blue drop diamonds, just like the endless admiration and nostalgia of the sun god Apollo for Daphne, and the tears of sorrow when emotional.
When it is tied to Wen Jiang's wrist, the lilac meridians faintly emerging from the white wrist complement the blue diamonds, the color is harmonious and unified, and the fine light spots are bright and chaotic, rolling down on the slender and white wrist, and the five-finger nails are as smooth as glass.
Huo Qingzhang stared at it in a daze for a long time, and came back to his senses in the praise of the new cabinet sister, and asked Wen Jiang softly:
"Do you like it?"
Wen Jiang nodded.
Huo Qingzhang looked at the other jewelry and said, "The rings and earrings of the same type are all wrapped, and there is also the bracelet that was broken by me just now." ”
The cabinet sister was just about to pack, but Wen Jiang took off the bracelet and put it back: "You don't have to break the bank, I can wear it and enjoy it." ”
The agent took the opportunity to curry favor, saying that it was rare for Representative Huo to bring friends to stay at his small counter, and these jewelry should be given to them as a meeting gift.
Wen Jiang still insisted: "I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't need it." ”
Huo Qingzhang looked at him quietly, and suddenly wondered what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, obviously he couldn't walk at the door just now, his eyes were full of like, and he refused to pay for him if he was wronged.
I'll never guess what he's thinking.
But since Wen Jiang expressed his position, Huo Qingzhang no longer insisted on it, but said: "You just decide." ”
After a brief greeting, Huo Qingzhang paid the money for the bracelet that he stepped on and took someone away.
As soon as he went out, the brand picked up a small gift bag and chased it out, nodding to Huo Qingzhang, the subtext was saying that he hoped to give him a little time, and he wanted to talk to Wen Jiang alone.
"I'll wait for you in the car." Huo Qingzhang was not interested in their private conversation, and turned around to take a step first.
The brand handed the gift bag to Wen Jiang and smiled a little flatteringly: "This is a small gift that we give when we enter the store, a gram of small gold beads, which every customer who enters the store has." ”
"Thank you." Wen Jiang took the gift bag.
"Also, there's something I'd like to discuss with you, and I'd like to hear your opinion."
"You say."
"Our brand and Mr. Han's endorsement contract is about to expire, I wanted to renew the contract, but just now I saw you wearing my products and was shocked, our Lanqi jewelry has always been the main focus is 'the most suitable', I think after thinking about it, I think I can't find a second person more suitable for the style of this new product than you, if you want, I will contact your company to discuss the endorsement contract for the next two years."
There is indeed an element of flattering Huo Qingzhang, but more often than not, he couldn't help but sigh after seeing Wen Jiang: How can anyone even be so beautiful on the tips of his fingers, not to mention that Wen Jiang is an eighteen-line paste coffee who can't find this person, and he is the spokesperson who asks for food on the street today.
Although someone proposed to invite Yun Shanchu as the spokesperson of the new product at the meeting, compared with the true knowledge, Wen Jiang, Wen Jiang! It's useless who refutes it.
There are also selfishness, I have been in the society for so many years, and I have long practiced a pair of fiery eyes, the indescribable entanglement between Huo Qingzhang and Wen Jiang can be known at a glance, and it doesn't matter if you can't cooperate, at least you can let Wen Jiang blow the pillow wind in Huo Qingzhang's ear, and improve their favorability.
Wen Jiang didn't want to refuse at all, and bowed slightly: "Thank you for your love, you can discuss the details with our company." ”
Well, I won the bet again.
When Shen Qingzhang sent a message saying that he could fulfill his three wishes, the plan was quietly deployed.
He inquired from Xue Mingyuan that the Lanqi brand would go to various counters to inspect the situation at about eight o'clock tonight, and the first stop was the largest counter in the commercial street, so he made an appointment with Huo Qingzhang to the shopping mall.
When Huo Qingzhang asked him about his plans for tonight, he deliberately said that he would spend an hour to eat dinner, and unexpectedly, with Huo Qingzhang's character, he must feel that one hour was too long, and asked to shorten it to forty minutes, so that he had the opportunity to meet the counter sister at the Lanqi jewelry counter to watch people put down dishes, and then deliberately sold the flaws and invited Huo Qingzhang to enter the store in person, just in time to catch up with the arrival of the brand.
He didn't have much interest in having dinner with Huo Qingzhang, and his only purpose was the endorsement of Lan Qi Jewelry.
Huo Qingzhang is a useful tool man.
Wen Jiang is confident enough in his own conditions, and he is determined to win endorsements, but Huo Qingzhang's appearance is tantamount to icing on the cake for him, dispelling the concerns that the brand may have because of his notoriety.
Before leaving, Wen Jiang also mentioned more, saying that the Lanqi jewelry counter has well-trained employees, and even the newcomers who have just come in know how to judge the situation and have the eye to see people.
The brand heard what he said, and he was busy rewarding the newcomer. As for the other cabinet sisters...... He poked and poked in his heart: Damn, a bunch of little girls are short-sighted, and they still want to be good if they offend Huo Qingzhang? Let's wait to eat the dismissal book.
After getting into the car, Huo Qingzhang saw the gift bag in his hand and asked, "What is it?" ”
"Souvenirs." Wen Jiang took out a small box and opened it, and inside was a small gold bead.
Huo Qingzhang was a little upset. I don't understand Wen Jiang even more, he obviously began to show smugness about these jewelry, he refused to spend money for him, but he couldn't put down a gram of gold beads that weren't worth a few dollars, so did he like it or not?
He wanted to ask why, but he was worried that taking the initiative to ask would make Wen Jiang misunderstand that he was caring about him.
There should be no such misunderstanding in the relationship between the point and the end.
"The first wish is fulfilled, and the rest, have you thought about it?" Huo Qingzhang changed the topic, dispelling his ridiculous curiosity by the way.
Wen Jiang said succinctly: "No, I thought of telling you later." ”
But the topic went around and around, and then turned back to Wen Jiang's preferences, Huo Qingzhang clenched the steering wheel and pretended to be absent-minded: "In addition to jewelry, what else do you like?" ”
Wen Jiang said: "No." ”
"That's why I still like jewelry." Huo Qingzhang kept telling himself, not that he was curious, but just curious about this matter, "Since you like it, why don't you send it to you just now." ”
"I like free stuff." Wen Jiang said.
"The brand is also willing to give you a free meeting gift, why not." Huo Qingzhang became more and more curious about his ambiguous answer, but he was curious but couldn't get a definite answer, and he was upset.
"It's not for me to meet." Wen Jiang corrected, "It's for your sake, just be a favor." ”
Huo Qingzhang raised his eyebrows, and continued to wait for his next explanation quietly.
"If it weren't for the fact that you were around, no one cared about me at all, and if I accepted his so-called meeting gift, you would owe him a favor, so how would you repay his favor and negotiate cooperation with the jeweler against your original intention?"
Huo Qingzhang raised his eyes suddenly, and a strange chill welled up in his heart.
Sure enough, he still underestimated Wen Jiang, he had already investigated everything about himself, his cleverness was not despicable cleverness, and even penetrated people's hearts, and he even knew exactly what he was thinking.
"But because of your appearance, I had the opportunity to try on jewelry, so that the brand noticed me, and in the next two years, I have free new products to get, I said, I like free things." Wen Jiang smiled brightly.
Huo Qingzhang suddenly realized that he had become a stepping stone on his road to success, and his first wish was not to have a meaningless dinner with himself at all, all insignificant little things could become a part of his plan, interlocking, but he didn't hide his plan at all, as if silently annclaiming:
Even if I give the whole plan, you can only obediently jump into my trap.
Huo Qingzhang sneered. I don't know if I'm laughing at my own stupidity, or laughing at him for being good at playing with people's hearts.
When he arrived downstairs at Wen Jiang's house, Wen Jiang took the bear and thanked him:
"Thank you, Representative Huo, for not only accompanying me to dinner, but also giving me a bear."
"No thanks, you think about the remaining two wishes as soon as possible, that's all." Huo Qingzhang was not uncommon to thank Wen Jiang, and drove away after throwing down a cold sentence.
Today, he deeply understands the horror of Wen Jiang, and even a person like him who is good at dancing with long sleeves in the crowd is confused.
This person is dangerous, and from now on you must keep your distance and cut off contact as soon as possible.
