National Tide 1980.

Chapter 391
As for the second step of entering the gate, of course it is time for Ning Weimin to formally express his intention and introduce himself.

For Ning Weimin, this is still an important part of making Qu Xiao's parents feel good about him.

What is he relying on?

Relying on rituals.

This "gift" has a double meaning.

It covers not only the politeness and etiquette that expresses humanistic accomplishment and cultivation, but also the realistic gift to convey affection.

To put it bluntly, while Ning Weimin tried his best to be polite, he also prepared a gift for Qu Xiao's parents.

This is called a two-pronged approach.

"Uncle, aunt, I am Ning Weimin who talked with you on the phone this morning. As the deputy manager of the operation department of Pierre Carton Company, I take the liberty to come to the door today. I just want to explain Qu Xiao's performance on stage to you on behalf of the company. There are a lot of misunderstandings in this, and I am sorry for the impact on your family life. I hope you can give me a chance to talk in detail. "

As soon as this self-introduction was finished, Ning Weimin took out two boxes of different sizes from the purse he brought.

Then he put the leather bag aside again, bowed slightly, and held it with both hands to Qu Xiao's parents who wanted to hand it over.

"It's a little thing, uncle and aunt, please don't dislike it."

As the saying goes, don't blame people for politeness, and don't hit people with smiling faces when you reach out.

Qu Xiao's parents were of course very happy with Ning Weimin's respectful gift.

To be honest, it doesn't matter what you give, the key is that this move fully expresses a kind of respect.

It's a pity that they are short-handed, after all, what Ning Weimin will say later, Qu Xiao's parents still don't know.

So for Ning Weimin's kindness, Qu Xiao's parents really can only thank Bumin.

Out of the mentality of being responsible to the daughter and the family, in order to fully reserve the right to pursue this matter.

It is wisest for them to keep a certain distance from Ning Weimin.

"There's no need to be so polite. We don't want any gifts, all we want is for our daughter to be clean."

Qu Xiao's mother clearly refused at first, and incidentally "pricked" Ning Weimin with her hand.

"What do you mean? Is it an apology? Or is it trying to bribe us?"

Qu Xiao's father followed up with his statement, and his tone couldn't help being a little angry and questioning.

For ordinary people, even if it is not embarrassing at this time, it is probably very worrying.

You know, the most troublesome thing for the gift giver is that the other party is unwilling to accept or sternly refuse.

This often means that the money has been spent, the love is not settled, and the wife is lost and the army is lost.

But Ning Weimin would not.

Because he has always understood that gift giving is not easy.

Not only does it require rich experience and skills, it can even be called an art.

The person who gives the gift must choose the corresponding gift for him according to the taste and preferences of the other party.

It is necessary to analyze the situation and the relationship between each other, so that the gift can be given well, skillfully, and the value of the gift is appropriate.

Otherwise, it is very likely to end up self-defeating and a bleak ending.

Often in this kind of thing, either the gift giver shows his intelligence to the fullest, or he shows his stupidity and clumsiness at a glance.

So, since it was expected from the very beginning that the process would inevitably encounter resistance from rejection, Ning Weimin naturally had a solution.

"Uncle, aunt, don't get me wrong. This is just the most common product of our company. It is also the main commodity that the Ministry of Economics and Trade and the Ministry of Textiles have been exporting in large quantities to foreign countries for the past two years. I will send these things to you, actually It’s not really a gift. It’s just for you to take a look, and it will be more helpful for you to understand the meaning of Qu Xiao’s work.”

It has to be said that Ning Weimin is quite smart, he is simply a gift-giving genius.

The reason why this kid didn't choose those conventional gifts such as high-end cigarettes, alcohol, and tea.

Instead, he brought a men's polo shirt and a silk scarf produced by his company, and gave them to Qu Xiao's parents.

It's because I know that Qu Xiao's parents' jobs are very respectable, and they both need entertainment.

For them, these two things are not tacky, but also practical, and the price is reasonable.

Even if you accept it, there will be no psychological burden, so of course it is very suitable.

Secondly, Ning Weimin's excuse for giving gifts is also very ingenious.

He deliberately linked these two things with Qu Xiao's modeling career, making it look like he was borrowing flowers and offering Buddhas to talk about business.

In this way, the psychological resistance of Qu Xiao's parents was further eliminated, and it also gave them no excuse to refuse the gift at all.

In short, he gave this gift without any trace at all, it was almost sent to the hearts of others.

Subtly, the relationship was drawn in, and the favor was left behind. Who can say that he is not smart?
There is no doubt that it will inevitably add a high-quality impression point to Qu Xiao's parents.

In fact, he really waited until Ning Weimin was able to sit on the sofa where the Qu family entertained guests.

The attitude of Qu Xiao's parents towards him is basically the same as how they usually treat their neighbors and subordinates.

Qu Xiao's mother even poured Ning Weimin a glass of water.

Even though it's just a glass of plain water, it's a pretty friendly sign.

It was far better than the meeting scene that Qu Xiao had been imagining in his mind.

So at this time, even this girl's erratic heart has settled down.

She really gave birth to hope and confidence because of this, and began to look forward to Ning Weimin's better performance to convince her parents.

But she was a little bit overjoyed. She never expected that Ning Weimin's third move was so exciting that it immediately aroused the fury of her parents.

Ning Weimin actually took the initiative to confess that he himself was the "culprit" who led Qu Xiao into a "wrong path".

And also honestly confessed the fact that Qu Xiao was injured when he debuted on stage, and he pretended to be a traffic offender and sent Qu Xiao home from the hospital.

It was only then that Qu Xiao's parents recognized that Ning Weimin was the young man who had been to his home before and had a pretty good impression at first.

Needless to say, in addition to being surprised, they must be annoyed because they learned that their daughter and others had already started deceiving themselves.

Unavoidably, he became dissatisfied with Ning Weimin, and couldn't help sternly criticizing him.

And even though Ning Weimin took most of the responsibility, they couldn't help venting their anger on Qu Xiao.

Lian looked at her daughter with less kindness and more sternness.

As for why Ning Weimin did this, he had to let himself and Qu Xiao fall into a disadvantageous situation and bear such a great pressure.

Of course it's not being stupid, but there is a special logic of thinking.

You know, in the verbal game, when facing criticism from others.

Too eager to clarify and justify the way of dealing with it will make people feel that there are ghosts in their hearts and want to evade responsibility.

Even if it is true in the end, it will leave a bad impression on others.

In fact, there is a small mistake, admit it and admit it, it's no big deal.

On the contrary, people will think that you have the courage to admit your mistakes, your character is not bad, and it is easier to forgive.

Based on this principle, Ning Weimin naturally would not deliberately evade his obvious responsibilities, or try to excuse himself with lies, that would be completely worth the candle.

He can't take the risk of completely losing the trust of Qu Xiao's parents.

In particular, Qu Xiao's becoming a model has already been known by her parents, and this is the core point of conflict that cannot be changed.

No matter how well Ning Weimin concealed his fault, it would not help solve the real problem.

Conversely, only by gaining the trust of Qu Xiao's parents can he persuade them and change their views.

When that time comes, his mistakes will be irrelevant and will no longer be mistakes.

Therefore, this hand exposes its shortcomings and advances by retreating, which is a kind of great wisdom.
