Emerald pupil

Because Yang Qi is the organizer of this evening, when Wang Ping saw her, she and several other Qiantai Jewelry staff members were dressed in formal attire, tuxedos and bow ties for men, evening dresses and high heels for women.

Yang Qi wore a water-gray custom-made rhinestone halter neck long dress today. She used to have long hair with a shawl, but today she is also coiled up high. Noble, fresh and refined.Before she approached, Wang Ping had already stared at Yang Qi for a long time, but found that the more she looked at it, the more attractive she was. It looked better than the overall suit before. Women really looked the most beautiful in evening dresses.

Seeing Wang Ping, Yang Qi rushed up to greet her: "You came early!"

Wang Ping looked around and sure enough people were not too full, so she smiled naively: "Is it still early? I came on time on the invitation letter."

Yang Qi couldn't help shaking her head and laughing: "Oh, it would be great if those adults were as punctual as you, I don't know where I learned the habit, every time it is said to start at 06:30, but often after everyone arrives It will be after [-]:[-], and our reception today will officially start at seven o'clock, so go and get some sweetheart pads to fill your belly, have you had dinner yet?"

Wang Ping was stunned when she heard that. She thought that the reception said [-]:[-], which happened to be the time of meal, and Qiantai Group would arrange a dinner. After a long time, it was just to serve some drinks, fruits and desserts?

Wang Ping had black hair, she was really old-fashioned, she thought she would have a big meal tonight, but the lunch in the school cafeteria was not good, so she didn't eat much.At that time, the idea of ​​coming to eat and drink at night, who knew it was such a thing?

When Yang Qi saw Wang Ping's expression, she couldn't help laughing: "You silly boy, you really came here before dinner? I have a staff meal, do you want it? Or you can put some snacks and fruits first , and then after the reception here, I will take you out for dinner?" She paused, looked Wang Ping's clothes up and down, and couldn't help smiling, "I get along with you so often, I almost forget that you are still a child When you wore this suspender skirt today, you thought it was some elementary school student who ran out, isn't it too pink and cute?"

Wang Ping was a little embarrassed by Yang Qi's words, she lowered her head and said, "That... that... Sister Yang Qi, I'm sorry, I only found out that the invitation letter said that I was going to wear an evening dress before I came. My family didn't either. Evening dress, I didn’t buy it because I was afraid that there would be too little time, so I just took a taxi here in class clothes.”

Yang Qi laughed when she heard Wang Ping's explanation: "If you say you are a stupid child, you are really a stupid child. It is normal not to wear an evening dress. Just watch it. Among the ten people who will come later, some I am thankful for the one who is wearing a formal dress or evening dress. This kind of reception. Even if we clearly mark that we need to wear evening dress or formal dress, everyone will turn a deaf ear to it. Same as the time above, it is a discount The etiquette of this kind of reception in China is not very used. I didn’t want to wear it myself, but whoever said that our company is a foreign-funded enterprise, they value this very much. This reception stipulates that our employees must wear it. Evening dress and formal attire, otherwise I guess it would be too much."

She paused: "You are different. You are our honored guests, and our customers are our gods. How could we drive you out just because God didn't wear evening dresses and formal attire?" She said and gestured with her eyes He glanced at a middle-aged woman behind him, and said softly, "Look at her!"

Following Yang Qi's gaze, Wang Ping looked back, and was immediately taken aback, almost spitting out the mineral water that she had just taken a sip before she could swallow it.

"Pajamas?" Wang Ping was taken aback. Some of the people who participated in this kind of high-end reception were wearing pajamas. This opened Wang Ping's eyes. The aunt behind Yang Qi in the two-piece silk plaid pajamas who attended the reception would not shock Wang Ping!

Is this also possible?

Yang Qi held back her laughter and nodded: "That is Mrs. Zhang, the richest man in Jiangzhou City and the chairman of Vik Group. Her home is upstairs in the CBD Plaza Building. I guess she came to our reception today to wear clothes directly from home." Pajamas came here. But so what, don't look at her in pajamas, but her family is rich and powerful, don't we still have to hug her and go around her? Laugh at her, look down on her?"

Yang Qi paused, and continued: "So, clothes are just icing on the cake. Those who are really capable and powerful don't need this kind of showmanship at all. They do it directly and frankly. No one will wear whatever they want. If you dare to talk about him, you have to compliment him for returning to basics, breaking the rules, having character, and taste! If the person who came here in pajamas today is not this Mrs. Zhang, but an ordinary employee in our store, you don’t need me to tell you if you believe it or not. This employee was guaranteed to be scolded bloody by his boss, and he didn't even come to work the next day."

Wang Ping watched those well-dressed handsome men and women gathered around the aunt in pajamas, chatting and laughing. Although she didn't know what they were talking about, they surrounded her like stars and moons. No wonder she didn't see this at first. The aunt who was dressed so strangely couldn't help nodding to Yang Qi's words.

"Oh, by the way, all the custom-made jadeite jewelry you entrusted to us has been made. After the apple-green jadeite made of glass has been made into three types of jade pendants, the extra material has been bought by Mrs. Zhang." I made a pair of small earrings, so you don’t have to pay the processing fee, but we should pay you 12. It is estimated that the company’s finance department will send you the money directly into your account in a few days .”

Wang Ping didn't expect that such a small piece of material could produce so many things, so she was a little surprised to make a small profit, and she felt a little curious: "You sold the pair of earrings to Mrs. Zhang, can I ask how much it is?" ?” After speaking, she felt a little inappropriate, and quickly added, “Well, if you can’t say it, then forget it, it’s okay.”

Yang Qi smiled and said: "There is nothing I can't say, I am going to discuss it with you. Because it is an extremely rare old pit glass jadeite, our master was very careful after getting it, and studied your wool for more than a year. It took two or three weeks to figure out how to carve such precious jade meat. He was not willing to waste it. It took two or three months to complete the finished product. We sold the earrings to Mrs. Zhang for 15 yuan. One thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, but she is the VIP customer we focus on, so there is another 99% discount on this price."

"Oh." Wang Ping responded, silently calculating in her heart, the pair of jadeite earrings made of leftover scraps cost more than 15 yuan, so how much should her own jade pendants be worth?

Not noticing that Yang Qi called her again, Wang Ping quickly raised her head and asked, "Ah, what?"

Yang Qi smiled and said, "What are you thinking, I just wanted to discuss it with you."

"What?" Wang Ping asked again in a daze.

"In the middle of the reception later, we arranged a jewelry auction. Because this time, Qiantai Jewelry Flagship Store, your Jiangzhou City is the tenth in Central China District, and our boss and others are here. It was very grand, so in the most important part, they felt that ordinary jewelry could not show the strength and level of our Qiantai Group, and wanted to take the purple-eyed jade bracelet and Laokeng glass Guanyin that you ordered from us. They will be auctioned together as representative jewelry. Of course, you don’t have to worry, you can just bid the price below, even if the price is sky-high, in the end, this bracelet and Jade Guanyin are all yours, and you don’t need to pay a penny. You and your emeralds will help us increase the popularity of our auction, so as to prevent the embarrassing scenes of unsuccessful auctions, no one responding, and very few responders."

Wang Ping only realized this when she heard this. It turned out that it could still be done in this way. If Su Su and the other nine antiques had done the same at the gambling king's auction, then she and Ren Jianyue would not have taken down the gambling king so easily. up.

It's just that Wang Ping said with some embarrassment: "Sister Yang Qi, it's okay to lend the jadeite to you for the exhibition, but if you want me to appear in person, I don't want to be so high-profile in the city where I live, for fear of causing some problems... "

Yang Qi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Wang Ping say that: "I thought there was something wrong, it's not easy? At that time, I will ask our staff transferred from the provincial capital to change into ordinary suits to help you increase the price below. , there is no need for you to show up. I was worried that you were dressed so pink and cute today. When people saw you asking prices below, they would suspect that you were hired by us! Since this is just right, I will arrange for us Our employees went to bid, no matter whether the other party is our entrustment or a customer who sincerely wants to buy, in short, no matter what price the other party offers, we will always be higher than them, anyway, you don’t need to pay in the end. That's it, it's settled!"

After Yang Qi finished speaking, she blinked at Wang Ping, and then ran to the other side with her skirt to greet the familiar guests, leaving Wang Ping in place. She thought she already knew the inside story of society , but found that the facts were often beyond her expectations.

The auction at this kind of reception is really a child's play, or do all auctions have a deeper inside story?

Wang Ping remembered how Ren Jianyue worked behind the scenes when he was in Yangon before, and bought the gambling king who was passed up at the auction, and suddenly had a chilling feeling. Those with vested interests just don't know if they will have such good luck next time, and they have always been on the side of the winner? (To be continued.
