Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 516
I dared not speak out, so I could only walk away in disgrace.

The sky outside is blue, but the mood is extremely gray.For a while, I don't know where I want to go?No direction, the same mood as at this moment.Just walking indifferently like that, my mind is too messed up, I don't want to think about it anymore.

At this time, I suddenly thought of a person, my classmate, my monitor, and now Director Zheng of the National Development and Reform Commission.When we were in school, we got along very well. At that time, I would talk to him about any troubles. He always enlightened me in a timely manner, and he could relieve my restless heart every time.

Yes, I need to make this call. He can always inject me with positive energy when I am in a low mood.I need this strength now, to give me spiritual support, and I seem to be unable to wait for a moment.Zheng Weizhong, an old classmate who is also in this city but has been neglected for a long time because of being busy with his own work.A series of familiar phone numbers came to mind, and the "beep" sound made me eagerly hope that he would press the answer button, "Hello—" the moment the call was answered, I was so excited that I raised my tone, "Hey, old squad leader!"

The monitor on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "You boy, why did some gust of wind blow me into your head today? You haven't contacted me for a while!"

I said sullenly: "Hey, I don't know why, but I suddenly want to call you and talk to you."

The squad leader asked suspiciously: "What? I'm not in a good mood. Is this something that bothers you?"

"Hi - nothing else. It's just been a long time. I want to sit with you. Are you free? Let's have a light meal tonight. I'll prepare some side dishes. Let's have a good drink."

"No problem, where are you going? You said the place."

"I'm going to pick you up now. You haven't come home yet. I'll go there now." After contacting the old squad leader, I also put the troubles just out of my mind. People are such strange animals, and one thing will happen soon. Can dilute another thing.

I picked up the old squad leader and came directly to my shop.Pushing open the heavy door of the restaurant, what unfolds in front of you is a spacious and luxurious space. The gorgeous crystal chandelier on the ceiling reflects dreamlike colorful lights from every angle. The outdoor seating can also provide Like romantic guests.

After being ordered to rectify, the few of us rearranged and cleaned the things in the store. Except for the normal business, we couldn't see the slightest mess.

The squad leader looked around at my deserted and deserted shop, and seemed to have guessed a bit, frowned, and asked a little worriedly: "I heard that your romantic relationship is very hot now, why is it so deserted today, a table of guests No? What's going on here!"

I sighed and said: "Don't mention it, I was ordered to rectify it. No, now I have nothing to do. Usually, this store makes me busy. Now I have a rare leisure time. Give myself a vacation? It's good." Take the class monitor to a private room that I like on weekdays. Every corner of the private room is carefully arranged. The lights are blue, the tableware is blue, the tables and chairs are blue, and it makes people feel in a trance. To the illusion of a Greek sea breeze.The wall is painted with light blue, oval, and colorful patterns, wrapped in a gilded, ornate frame, with delicate borders carved on the corners, and a fat little Cupid is flying freely on it.

I pulled a chair for the monitor to sit down.By the way, order the kitchen to prepare the food and wine.

The squad leader sat down, smiled mysteriously and said, "Did you know? This time, I was transferred from the Development and Reform Commission."

I groaned and said, "Really? Then what's your situation now?"

The squad leader shook his head and said, "This is the meaning of the leaders above. It is a good thing for me to let me go to the grassroots to exercise."

I gave a sigh of relief and said, "That's fine, just get down to the bottom and make some achievements, improve yourself, and lay a foundation for yourself."

I thought the squad leader could help a little, but now it seems that he is already like this, so it is difficult to speak again.

The squad leader said enthusiastically, "Did you ask me for something?"

I couldn't bear to beg the monitor any more, so I said vaguely: "It's okay, my place has been renovated after you came last time, how do you feel?"

"It's quite high-end, and it's one of the most luxurious in the whole city."

"You are lucky today. Normally, I would sell all the good things here, and you would have no chance to eat them. Today is fine, and I will cook them all for you. You have never seen a lot of seafood! "

"Then I'm here today." The squad leader nodded and said, "Let me tell you, I was transferred to be the head of the Market Supervision Bureau."

I froze for a moment and was happy for him: "Then have a good drink tonight!"

The squad leader smiled and said: "Drink some! I just came up, and I've been really hungry lately. It's boring to drink alone at home, and I dare not go out to drink. That is to say, if I dare to drink with you, I can drink to my heart's content. I must drink more tonight." !"

I said happily: "Me too, I asked them to serve the food and serve the wine."

The squad leader smiled and said: "If you want good wine, if you want to drink happily, I will give you a trick."

When I heard it, my eyes lit up, and I was inexplicably looking forward to his unspoken "trick".

After three rounds of wine, five tastes of food, and a very happy conversation.I said with a hippie smile: "I also ate the food and drank the wine, the trick your brother said?......"

The squad leader smiled and said: "Eat people's mouths are short, and people's hands are soft. If this trick is not used, I will not be able to escape the meal money."

I laughed and said, "How can I do that? With your salary, you have to work hard for a month, and it's not enough for my dish of food."

The squad leader took a sip of alcohol and said, "Just blow it up, dragon meat! I'll notify the Price Bureau and ask them to investigate you again!"

I almost didn't spit out a sip of wine: "It's still hard to live, I'm like this now. Besides, I'm not lying to you, I bought fish from the deep sea this time, and a salmon is 1 yuan a piece." Jin, a clear grouper is 6000 a catty, and there is also a sea bass, which is simply not seen in the market, and it is possible to pay a sky-high price. I don’t know how many times I have to go to sea to catch such a species. Please, I still estimate the cost price, and I still have the purchase order, if you don’t believe me, I will show it to you!"

The squad leader sighed, and said with a smile: "It seems that even if I don't eat or drink, I can't afford to pay for this meal. Let me tell you, your store is not an ordinary store. Some time ago Didn’t even CCTV do a special interview? It was on TV and won honors for our city’s catering industry. It’s obvious to all. I think you can use the media to help you this time. "

When the squad leader said this, I suddenly thought of a person, Lu Yuchen.

The next day, I found Mo Ke's old classmate Lu Yuchen. She had written several articles about praising me before, but she didn't name them by name. Came to beg me, but then I refused.

I called her, and she said angrily: "Mr. Chen, you also begged me sometimes. When you refused me, didn't you expect today?"

I smiled and said: "There are only eternal interests in this world, how can there be eternal enemies? Besides, I was also doing business at that time!"

Lu Yuchen snorted and said, "You played tricks on me, and you thought I didn't know. I hold grudges very much!"

I said with a smile: "If you are willing to answer my phone, it means that you must be the prime minister who does not remember the faults of villains! What are you doing recently? Are you still working on your foundation?"

Lu Yuchen finally relaxed his tone and said, "Hey, what are you doing to build a foundation? You're right. That's my profession. I'm not professional. It won't work if I rely on my connections. I should change my career a long time ago!"

I hummed and said, "Then what do you do now?"

Lu Yuchen sighed again and said, "I want to go back to my old job, but now you know how many people still read newspapers? Newspapers are not doing well, magazines can't be sold, and they're all online. I'm worried , how about Mr. Chen giving me something to eat?"

I thought about it and said, "That's just right. My company is short of a public relations manager. You can come to me. You can choose a company. One is a company consulting company. I'm the boss. The next one is an assistant. The company is not big. The other one is a seafood company, and I'm just a shareholder, but it's up to me to arrange you, you choose!"

Lu Yuchen smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is really capable! Are you still a shareholder of Wanzhong?"

I said oh, "What's the matter? You want to join the crowd? Well, I'm not there anymore. If you must go, I can think of a way."

Lu Yuchen refused: "I don't want to go. I know my own business. My ability is definitely not good enough in a big company. I'll go to your consulting company. Let's talk about it first. What should I do? I won't do it for you. But married."

I smiled and said, "Is there a goalkeeper who doesn't shoot the ball? Just kidding, you come and be my PR manager. I'm worried about something, and you just come to help me."

Lu Yuchen said: "I know you're holding back your bad intentions, you've already taken a fancy to me, it's because you never forget me, this PR manager won't have to sell himself, will he?"

I laughed loudly and said, "Sister, don't you look at your age anymore, you have to be bought by someone if you sell it? The current young girl's year is more open than you. I really need a talent like you, you can come here tomorrow."

Lu Yuchen scolded: "A dog can't spit out ivory! What about my treatment?"

I smiled and said, "Is it so realistic? Don't talk about feelings, talk about money? In this way, you can set a price, as long as it is not too high and I can afford it, then it will be fine!"

Lu Yuchen said bluntly: "With your words, I feel relieved. I also know that you are not a stingy person. Then I will come to see you tomorrow. Oh, by the way, do you want to pack lunch?"

I questioned: "There is really no such thing, you will have it when you come, you do it!"

The next day Lu Yuchen came to see me, I talked to her about the restaurant, Lu Yuchen said confidently: "That's it, I used to be in the newspaper office, and I was known as a fast reporter who hates evil and expresses hatred. Once the public opinion comes out, let us Stand still, no one can do anything against us, they have to obediently apologize to us and ask for peace. This matter is settled, you have to give me a raise!"

I frowned and said: "The salary has not been discussed yet, and the salary will be raised. I seriously doubt my vision of people, your IQ, you will not ask for a higher salary?"

Lu Yuchen shook his head and said, "That's different, it's called meritorious deeds!"

The public opinion offensive was quickly launched by Lu Yuchen. Several mainstream media now like this kind of news the most. Regarding the two opposite sides of society, such relatively sharp issues, such as urban management and hawkers, demolition offices and nail households, etc., My favorite report.

After some reports from the media, the relevant departments immediately intervened in the investigation and found that the malicious whistleblower anonymously reported that our seafood had excessive lead content due to vicious competition, and that our seafood was shoddy. It was not deep sea fish at all, but the seaside Farming is all baseless.We have also produced relevant evidence to prove that all of this is maliciously reporting that guy's fictitious slander.

In this way, our restaurant was able to reopen again, and the scene of customers coming like a cloud reappeared in the past.

Master Yin, as the spokesperson of the romantic relationship, narrated the whole incident in a stern voice, which moved his face and made those who heard it sad.

Brother Zeng and I sat in front of the TV, watched "News Interview", and said with a smile: "I really didn't see that Master Yin still has the potential to be an actor. You saw the moment his mouth twitched, and I almost believed it." ! Look at the tears in those eyeballs, they are about to fall, do you have a feeling of pity for me?"

Brother Zeng smiled and commented: "What you see is only his superficial things, you have to ponder the deep connotation of his performance, you see his every move, his polio hands, trembling lips, he wants to speak but hesitates." I am helpless, is this something that ordinary actors can perform? It may not be possible to have such a skill from a professional background, right? It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a master-level artist!"

I added: "Stanievlavsky once said this in his "The Actor's Self-cultivation"-the actor does not seem to exist on the stage, but really exists on the stage, not performing, It's living. I think Master Yin is living on the stage, so that's not an overstatement, is it?"

Brother Zeng nodded and said, "Not too much, not at all, your evaluation is very good!"

Xiao Hei couldn't stop laughing at the back, Master Yin came out with a plate of sand shrimp, put it heavily on the table, then gave each of us a kick, and cursed: "It's not for you, I'm going to risk my old face!" It’s gone! You’re still talking sarcastic words! I’ll kick you to death!”

Xiao Hei dodged Master Yin's kick and said with a smile: "That day when he fell, I almost rushed up. Size 12? I think Master Yin, you can open an actor training class!"

Master Yin scolded: "Get the hell out of here! Also, one of you should inform Yaoyang that I want to hold a shareholder meeting."

I was a little embarrassed and said: "He and my parents went to pick up Sister Min. I called him a few days ago, and he said that it will take a while. The main reason is that my parents are addicted to living with Sister Min. They don't want to return!"

Master Yin said solemnly: "Then you find a way and ask him to come back for a day or two before going!"

I asked, "Why is it so urgent? Let's do our own research!"

Master Yin shook his head and said, "No, there must be a lot of people!"
