Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 140 Lu Ping's pride

I yelled: "Mom, did I tell you that you can't water every day, but you just don't listen, people can't stand drinking too much water, let alone plants, you just don't believe it, do you believe it now?"

My mother complained: "You still have the nerve to say that your dad and I went out for a week to ask you to water the flowers, but you have been thirsty for the flowers for a whole week, but you just forgot and made excuses saying that the flowers don't need watering." So much water."

Mo Ke said: "Flowers can't be watered too much, but they can't be watered either. Auntie is right. He is just lazy. He forgot. He should be beaten."

I protested: "I didn't forget, I poured it, I won't tell you, it's time to eat, go down quickly."

At the dinner table, my dad usually doesn’t talk very much. He has always maintained an attitude of not talking when eating or sleeping. He doesn’t know what’s going on today. He is very talkative. He talked a lot about current affairs and politics with Mo Ke. Mo Ke is also very talkative. If you have a background, two people can chat very well if you talk to each other.

I kept adding vegetables to Katsuo's bowl, and then said: "We eat ours, they talk about theirs, and when they finish talking, we finish eating too."

Only then did my dad react and said: "Look at me, when I meet someone who can say a few words, I can't stop the car. Eat more vegetables, eat more vegetables."

Mo Ke said politely: "I'm almost done. This dish is very good. Auntie's skill is really good."

I pointed to the table and said, "This, this, and this are all made by me."

Mo Ke smiled and said: "You are amazing, okay? The craftsmanship is really good. I haven't seen it. You still have Neixiu."

I smiled and said, "Not only are they beautiful on the inside, they are also beautiful on the outside."

After dinner, I sent Mo Ke away. Mo Ke said: "Your family is really nice. You have a well-educated father, a virtuous mother, and a beautiful wife. Your life is perfect."

I said proudly: "Well, I think so too. By the way, if you don't want to cook alone, you can often come to our house. You are really welcome at any time. Next time, you come, I will make fish head with chopped peppers , that smells old and overbearing."

Mo Ke nodded and said, "If there is a chance, I will definitely come."

When I got home, my mother kept nagging, saying that I offended your leader today, but luckily you are a good leader, if you change to a stingy one, you must wear small shoes for me.He asked me how old Mo Ke was, and he was your leader at such a young age.

I said unconvinced: "She is older than me, okay? It's just that she is well maintained. One person can feed the whole family and not be hungry. I have an old one and a young one. Can I compare with others?"

My mother glared at me and said: "Where is the little one? Who wants you to take care of it? How dare you say that? By the way, why is she alone? It's a pity that she is such a good person. How about I introduce her to her?" one?"

I hurriedly said: "Mom, Mom, just let me go, what do you know, Aunt Chen's eldest son is in his forties, and he hasn't been weaned yet, Aunt Zhang's youngest son is about to retire, and he goes shopping every day. Watching the old man play chess in the park, and picking up a few mineral water bottles if you have nothing to do. You can pull it down!"

My mother said dissatisfiedly: "Who said that? Those I know are all intellectuals. Professor Wang and Teacher Li are both university professors, and the sales manager of 'Di Nian Health Products' has an annual salary of one million. of."

I ignored my mother and went into the room.

When I drove to the door of the company in the morning, I saw a big banner saying "Welcome Sanyang DY Division to visit our company for guidance". I.

When the car was about to be parked in the parking lot, the security guard said to me very politely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, because there are customers coming to visit, the office asked me to inform you to park all the cars in the backyard and leave the front yard for the guests. Guys, the other cars have all been moved."

I nodded in understanding.

The car drove to the backyard and stopped next to a group of large transport trucks. It looked very small. Just after getting out of the car, A Liao got off the big truck next to me. I felt that his foot could just step on the roof of my car.

He got out of the car, saw me, smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, your car is also parked in the backyard."

It was the first time I heard him address me so politely. It stands to reason that now is the time when I am frustrated. Shouldn't he give me some sarcastic remarks?
I nodded and said, "Yes, Master Liao has worked hard."

A Liao wiped the car and said: "These drivers are all owners who don't like cars. They don't care after driving. The inside of the car should be like your own home. You should clean it up at all times so that you can drive comfortably. no?"

Speaking of this, I think that Mr. Lin said that A Liao has no other advantages, but he is very concerned about the car. No matter what kind of car it is, he will cherish it. If all the big cars and small cars are damaged, he will He is very distressed, and he pays great attention to the maintenance of the car. He is still very professional in this regard.

I patted my car and said, "Master Liao, I really have a question. I want to ask you. My car made a strange noise when I braked recently. If you have time, please help me."

A Liao heard it, and said with bright eyes: "Leave it on me, you can get the car after get off work." After finishing speaking, I handed him the key.

Back in the sales department, I saw Lu Ping on the opposite side ordering people, arranging flower baskets, and gesticulating all the time. The people next to her lowered their heads and didn't dare to show their air. It was obvious that they had just been scolded.I shook my head and walked into the office.I thought, form is greater than content.

Not long after, there was applause outside, I looked through the glass, three people were walking in front, Lu Ping was walking behind with a red face, and a bunch of people behind her, if you look closely, they are all people from our company. There are only three people here, and the ones behind are all accompanying guests.

I ignored it and went about my business.After a while, someone knocked on the door of my office, and when I looked up, it was Lu Ping.I asked curiously: "Is there anything you need to do? Aren't you busy?"

Lu Ping said proudly, "Ah, I'm a little busy. Two groups of guests came here today. No, I want you to help me."

I put down the document in my hand and said, "You say it."

Lu Ping smiled and said, "My guest from Xiamen, come over in a while, I want to bring you here first, and entertain me, I don't think you are too busy, right?"

I also smiled and said: "Okay, you can bring it to me, and I will try my best to take care of it."

Three guests from Xiamen, two women and one man walked into my office. Lu Ping briefly introduced: "This is Mr. Wu, the purchasing manager of Xiamen Jiuzhou Economic and Trade, and his two assistants. Please sit down first. , I'll come to see you in half an hour." After finishing speaking, he left without even introducing who I am.

The three of them looked at me, and I looked at them. Everyone was embarrassed, and they probably didn't know what I was doing.

My name is Xiaohua, and I poured tea for three people, so I could only find a topic and say, "You three, did you just arrive today?"

Mr. Wu said very politely: "Yes, I just got off the plane not long ago."

Then, they fell silent again.

Since everyone has nothing to say, don't talk about it. I started to do what I was doing, and the three of them had nothing to do, so they picked up the materials and read them.

An hour passed, and Lu Ping still didn't see anyone. The three of them looked at their watches and couldn't sit still. One of the women asked the other, "It's been an hour, why haven't you come?" She seemed to ignore me. The presence.

The other also said: "Yes, we were called over in such a hurry, but there was no one there." Hearing this, I raised my head.

Perhaps realizing that there was something wrong with my words, I quickly said, "I'm not talking about you, don't mind."

I said understandingly: "I understand, sometimes, your one hour is just one minute in the eyes of others."

I managed to attract Mr. Wu's attention, and Mr. Wu asked, "What do you mean? You mean our time is worthless in the eyes of others?"

I hurriedly explained: "You misunderstood. Let me use an analogy to understand. How long is 1 minute? It depends on whether you are squatting in the toilet or waiting outside. I mean, let's do it like this Wait, you must feel that time is slow, so let me take you to the workshop, and she will come in a while."

Mr. Wu said with a smile: "Your metaphor is good, so please take us to the workshop."

In the workshop, we didn't bump into Lu Ping and the others. I briefly introduced them to the production process, and people came to say hello to me from time to time.

When they returned to the sales department, their attitude was significantly more polite. Mr. Wu asked: "The people in the workshop just now called you Mr. Chen. How many Mr. Chen are there in your company?"

I don't know why he asked this question, so I just answered casually: "There was a person, Mr. Chen, who was our vice president. At that time, we were still a subsidiary company of the group company. Later, he left. I guess Mr. Chen is the only one now? "

Mr. Wu just stood up and shook hands with me: "Mr. Chen, hello, our Mr. Xia has mentioned you to me a lot. In fact, this time, Mr. Xia was invited to come, but he didn't want to come. , originally planned to refuse, but our Mr. Xia said, you all have Mr. Chen, who has met once. Harvest, we just came here, who knew that it wasn't you who came to welcome us, we thought we were not high enough."

I thought about it, and the boss I knew surnamed Xia suddenly remembered that when Lao Feng took me to the Shanghai Fair, he had a long chat with a man named Xia Chengming in our company's exhibition hall and handed over a Business card, we were still sitting together at the industry meeting later.But I haven't contacted him since then. We are in sales and have a good memory, so I remember this person.

I smiled and said, "President Xia you are talking about is Xia Chengming, right? I remember, isn't he engaged in import and export trade? Why is he engaged in business now?"

Mr. Wu said: "Trade is not easy to do, especially import and export. It is better to do some business by yourself."
