Chapter 16 Eavesdropping (1)
After getting off the plane, they rushed to the client company.

At first, Cheng Yin was a little nervous, but the tension quickly disappeared, because if it was what Yang Fan said, she could say whatever she wanted—except for the initial self-introduction and a girl who looked like a secretary came to ask them No one asked her any decent questions other than what she wanted to drink.

She didn't have to worry about anything, because she was here to show off, and there was nothing wrong with her at all. When the other party's reception manager spoke, his eyes were only fixed on Yang Fan eagerly.

During the break, Cheng Yin learned from Xiaobing that the manager in the conference room was the project leader. He had contacted Yang Fan before, was impressed by his clear thinking, and trusted him very much. If this project was directly given to Yingrui He has no opinion on doing it. As for AST's intervention, it is entirely the decision of the company's top management.

The meeting lasted for two hours. Although there was nothing wrong with Cheng Yin, she still listened to it seriously, and from the back-and-forth discussions between the account manager and Yang Fan, she understood the problems that bothered the customer.

Yang Fan is indeed an expert. While listening to the other party's narration, he drew a schematic diagram casually, analyzed it on the spot, and gave some relatively basic ideas for improvement, but the reception manager did not show any relief after hearing it. Looking at the expression, Cheng Yin guessed that there might be something inside.

As soon as the reception dinner that night is over, her cutscene is over.On the second day, Cheng Yin devoted all her energy to the data collection of customer B, which was the focus of her trip.

Doing things independently is naturally much more exciting than being a small follower or a small decoration. Cheng Yin changed into the brand-name suit she specially brought and sat in front of the interviewer. A sense of pride and confidence representing AST emerged spontaneously. The whole person is like an inflated ball, full of elasticity.

Customer interviews last until six in the evening.

Afterwards, Cheng Yin found a relatively quiet restaurant near the hotel. While eating, she slowly sorted out the conversation notes. It was also a brain-intensive process to save the rough and the fine. Produce a satisfactory job.

It was nearly nine o'clock when I returned to the hotel. Apparently, the waiter had already visited her room. There was a purple forget-me-not on the white and tidy bedding, and there were several kinds of brightly colored fruits in the saucer on the bay windowsill.

After eating the sweet and sour oranges, Cheng Yin turned on the computer and officially started the post-processing of the data. This is a job that requires a high concentration of the brain. There must be no mistakes in the input data, and the formulas must not be wrong. Each grid has its own particularity.

After confirming the accuracy of the data, she clicked the button to run the formula, and it took about five or six minutes to run all the formulas.

Thinking that the results of the operation might determine her own promotion fate, Cheng Yin immediately felt a little nervous. In order to relieve her emotions, she walked barefoot to the window sill and watched the endless traffic flow on the brightly lit street.

The room was extremely quiet at this moment, and in such an atmosphere, Cheng Yin was suddenly in a trance. What kind of force pushed her to such a strange place full of unknown temptations at the same time?

The hand of fate?

She laughed dumbfounded, shook her head a few times, withdrew her wandering thoughts, and returned to the computer screen, the operating data had already come out.

She opened her eyes and checked the chart carefully. According to the routine, the graphics on the screen should show the appearance of a fat-headed whale to truly diagnose the client's "cause". However, what caught her eyes was a shriveled, unknown fish , extremely malnourished.

Cheng Yin was not discouraged, changed a set of data and re-entered the model, ran it, but still failed; changed it again, failed again...

By eleven o'clock, her patience had run out, and the picture of the big whale that she was looking forward to showing the truth about the operation still hadn't appeared.

What went wrong?Cheng Yin became distressed, her heart felt like a stone was on it, it was heavy, it seemed that it was not easy to get promoted.

She made another cup of strong black coffee. This is the first cup of coffee tonight. Her mind is a little weak due to excessive thinking. Reason tells her that she can't continue to force herself to think, otherwise she will easily get stuck in a dead end. Come on, you have to go for a walk.

While drinking coffee, Cheng Yin remembered that there was a convenience store not far from the hotel, and there must be instant noodles there. At this moment, she suddenly craved the taste of MSG noodle soup, so she changed her clothes and went out.

There is a bar in the corner of the hotel lobby, the door is half open, and there is soft music coming from inside, occasionally mixed with the whispers and smiles of the guests.

When passing by the door of the bar, a burst of unrestrained laughter hit Cheng Yin's ears, and then, the laughter was deliberately suppressed and changed into a sniggering.

Out of sheer curiosity, she glanced inside and happened to catch the laughing owner, a coquettish woman in a suspenders and a short skirt, with a colorful square scarf on her shoulders, which might slip off at any time , the white half-naked shoulders are very seductive under the dim light of the bar.

The woman was holding her cocktail glass high, sucking her mouth, and listening to the man sitting across from her. Her raised orchid fingers were lazy and soft, which made people feel a little itchy.

It is estimated that it is for special business.

After Cheng Yin's appraisal was completed, he was about to step away when his eyes were suddenly shocked by the back of the man who was with the woman.

Short cut, fair neck, white shirt, the buttons on the cuffs have never been undone, and-he likes to sit upright, the long-fingered hand holding the cup, and one on the wrist Glittering watch.

Cheng Yin was startled by this familiar figure, her heart was pounding, and she ran out of the hotel as if fleeing.

Will it be Yang Fan?
Although she only saw him once, and it was from his back, but with her special sixth sense for him, she couldn't doubt that she was wrong.

OMG!

Could it be that Yang Fan is also a man who is good at finding flowers and asking willows?

Cheng Yin's scalp was numb from the shock of her guess, and she quickly changed her mind, it's impossible, impossible, he wouldn't be such a disgusting man!
However, Xie Mei once analyzed with her that men have many faces, and when dealing with different people, they will consciously put on corresponding masks, and they can deal with prostitutes as well as ladies.

Cheng Yin felt that her brain was about to burst, and she refused to go any further in her imagination.

After walking out of the hotel, the night breeze finally soothed Cheng Yin's nerves, and she laughed at her reaction just now as if she was facing a big enemy.

Even if Yang Fan is really that kind of person, what does it have to do with him?He is no longer the god in her heart, and she has no right to interfere in other people's private life.

Shaking her hair and shrugging her shoulders, Cheng Yin dragged herself out of her old thinking habits.No big deal, the sky hasn't fallen, and the watery night is as pleasant as ever.

The convenience store in my impression was quickly found.

Standing in front of a row of instant noodles, Cheng Yin glanced over them one by one like choosing a concubine. Just now, she was very eager to eat strong noodles and delicious thick soup, but now it was placed in front of her, but she had no appetite at all. up.There are too many types, and the confusion of choices has hit her good appetite.

She turned back and went to the freezer, intending to choose a few cups of yogurt to drink instead.

A figure suddenly appeared on the glass door of the freezer, Cheng Yin wiped her eyes and took a closer look.

Depend on!This person is completely haunted today.

She turned around, and sure enough, she saw Yang Fan hovering in front of the magazine column. He didn't see Cheng Yin, so he picked up a periodical, flipped through a few pages, and hurried to the checkout counter.

Cheng Yin sneaked behind the biscuit shelf like a thief, watching him from a distance through the gap.

Wrapped inside Yang Fan's black coat was that spotless white shirt, revealing a clean white collar, and the back of his neck was as white as a layer of wall plaster.

"12 yuan." The cashier reported to Yang Fan after scanning the barcode.

Yang Fan glanced to the side from the corner of the eye, and Cheng Yin's gaze immediately followed. There were rows of square boxes on the right side of the cash register, colorful and far away, and Cheng Yin couldn't tell what they were.

"Two more boxes of these." Yang Fan took two boxes and handed them to the cashier.

"Ok."

There was a sound of collecting money and changing it, and soon, Yang Fan walked out of the convenience store with a shopping bag.

Cheng Yin inadvertently picked two boxes of yogurt and walked quickly to the cashier. While waiting for the checkout, she also lowered her head to look at the row of colorful products on the right.

The sight of her made her blush, and Yang Fan actually bought condoms.

It turned out that all her guesses just now were true...

Cheng Yin's gaze instantly became evil.

"That..." She opened her mouth to the cashier, wanting to confirm again.

"What?" The middle-aged aunt looked at her puzzled.

"...It's nothing." After all, she couldn't ask, she paid the money and left sullenly.

Cheng Yin walked crookedly towards the hotel, as if two villains were fighting in her heart.

One said: "How can he be like this! How can he be like this!"

The other jumped up quickly, "It's none of your business! What kind of person is he, do you need to worry about it!"

Fighting all the way to the elevator room of the hotel.When she pressed her finger on the floor button, the previous villain suddenly gained the upper hand, and she pressed "9" by accident.

"I have to go and see." She said to herself seriously, "If he is indeed such a wretched and dirty man, it means that from today on, I can look down, no, despise him!"

Cheng Yin's whole body was in a state of preparation for battle, growing up so big, it was the first time for her to do stalking and chasing, and it was a "good thing" to intercept others, and she was fighting alone.

The elevator door opened slowly on the ninth floor, Cheng Yin stood on the other side of the door and wobbled again.

Is it appropriate to do so?Will there be any suspicion of spying on other people's privacy?
Everything has a time limit, and the elevator is no exception. It is impossible to wait for her to struggle indefinitely. It only takes a few seconds for Cheng Yin to make a decision. When it is about to close impatiently, Cheng Yin With a sudden impulse, he suddenly snatched the door and escaped.

Once this idea arises, it is difficult to hold back.Regardless of the fact that there are a lot of reasons from east to west, north and south, let's do it first!
It was very quiet on the floor, not even a shadow of a ghost.

The plots in all kinds of thriller novels that Cheng Yin had read popped up to join in the fun. The strong sense of excitement covered up the sense of guilt, and she moved towards the door of 906.

Standing in front of the door, she looked left and right, making sure that there was no one around, then leaned over, secretly put her right ear on the door, and listened for a while, but there was no movement inside.

She straightened up reluctantly.

Of course, the most direct way to "catch a traitor" is to knock on the door and go in, just find any reason, and you don't even need to go in, as long as you carefully observe Yang Fan's complexion and attire, you can tell.

She had already raised her hand, but she paused in a sudden turn of her thoughts.

What is she doing?Are those words and oaths I said before really just for show?

With her hands drooping down, she took a deep breath and turned around—how could she be manipulated by her demons!
In any case, this kind of eavesdropping and peeping behavior is not aboveboard, and should not appear on a good girl who is aggressive.

Reason finally occupied the main mountain of consciousness, Cheng Yin sighed and decided to give up.

Maybe it's because the flocking carpet under her feet is a bit sticky, or maybe it's because she was guilty. When she turned around, her heel was caught in the carpet. In a panic, she lost her balance and bumped into the door of 906 recklessly, making a "dong" sound. There was a muffled sound.

Cheng Yin straightened up in fear, and fled to the end of the corridor like a rabbit!

But the speed of the rabbit seems to be only from her own imagination, because soon, Yang Fan called out in surprise, "Cheng Yin?"

Cheng Yin froze in place as if she had been immobilized, and after a while, she turned around with an unspeakable embarrassment on her face, "I, that..."

Yang Fan has already walked up to her quickly, "Are you looking for me?"

Looking at each other, she thought there must be something wrong with her eyes, otherwise why would Yang Fan's eyes show such an expectant look?

She controlled the desire to grin her teeth, and nodded constipatedly, "I... have a question to ask you."

The confusion in Yang Fan's eyes quickly dissipated, and he smiled and said, "Okay, let's go in and talk."

Cheng Yin had no choice but to follow him to the room with heavy steps.

"We're all at the door, why did you knock on the door and run away suddenly?" Yang Fan didn't look back, but there was a smile in his tone.

"..."

Yang Fan stood still at the door, as if he was still waiting for her answer.

Cheng Yin had no choice but to explain embarrassingly, "I later thought...it's better to figure it out on my own."

Yang Fan smiled, refused to comment on her excuse, stepped aside, and Cheng Yin could only walk in slowly.

After entering the door, Cheng Yin's eyes were not idle, she glanced around all around.

Yang Fan's room was clean and tidy, he didn't even touch the "Forget-me-not" on the quilt, the desk was full of various stationery and papers, the laptop was turned on, and a presentation took up the full screen, obviously in the working status.

There is no woman, no mess, not even a trace of suspiciousness can be found, Yang Fan's calm eyes make Cheng Yin feel that her conjecture, which has become more and more serious just now, has suddenly become a joke.

Could it be that she was wrong?
But why did he buy condoms?

"Tell me, what troubles are you trapped?" Yang Fan asked, unscrewed two bottles of clean water, poured them into the electric kettle, and plugged them into the socket.

"Well, I... I'm making a report, but the results of the data are not satisfactory." Cheng Yin casually threw out the problem, if Yang Fan can really help her solve it, it wouldn't be in vain for her to suffer this fright and suffering.

"Is it an analysis report on Company B?"

Cheng Yin was surprised, "How do you know?"

Yang Fan smiled lightly, "Knowing a little bit about everything makes it easier to fall behind—you use a slant watch?"

"Yes." As she spoke, she glanced at Yang Fan's computer screen, which should be a Gantt chart.

"Remember the data entered?"

Cheng Yin nodded.

Yang Fan leaned over to shrink his chart, and opened a blank form, "Report and listen."

"I will do it myself."

Yang Fan stepped back a little, pulled the chair away with one hand, and Cheng Yin sat in. When she lowered her head, her eyes quickly swept across Yang Fan's wrist wearing the watch.

His watch is platinum gold, and what Cheng Yin sees under the light of the bar is a touch of golden yellow.

So, it really wasn't him?
Seeing her standing still, Yang Fan thought she was remembering, so he reminded: "It doesn't have to be exactly the same, the more random the data, the easier it is to approach the truth."

Cheng Yin withdrew her chaotic thoughts, concentrated her attention, quickly simulated a set of numbers similar to the actual data in her mind, and typed them in. After dragging the mouse a few times step by step, a shriveled fish just like the one on her computer appeared on the screen , her distress was also activated at the same time.

"All the data are real operating data provided to me by customers in the past two years, and their troubles are also obvious, but I don't know what went wrong. My form cannot reflect the difficulties they encountered."

She confessed her confusion to Yang Fan, and was at a loss for what to do with the chart, "This chart is not convincing at all in front of customers."

Yang Fan didn't speak, leaned on the back of the chair with one hand, pinched his chin with the other hand, and stared at the data on the screen thoughtfully.

Not long after, he leaned forward and used the mouse to smear and delete on the data form.Cheng Yin was shocked to find that the little fish swelled up rapidly as if it had taken weight-enhancing medicine.

"You only used the data from the previous year?" She looked at him suspiciously, "Does this count as cheating?"

"All the data is true, but the time zone has been slightly adjusted. In fact, I have also noticed the problems of Company B. Their troubles began in the middle of last year, so there is no need to drag in as much data as before. That way Doing so will only confuse the view."

"But they value the performance of the previous two years very much, insisting that it started to go downhill two years ago."

"That depends on what their real purpose is."

Cheng Yin looked at him puzzled.

"It depends on whether they really want to do a good job in business, or just want to get rid of a group of people. Some companies use consulting companies just as a cover to clean up the door."

Cheng Yin's mouth was opened into an O shape, it turned out that none of his behaviors were so straightforward and pure.

Seeing that she was speechless for a long time, Yang Fan smiled and said in relief: "Don't think so much, you just need to perform your duties."

Cheng Yin's duties were basically completed under his instructions.

The problem she had pondered for several hours was solved by Yang Fan in only two or three minutes. Such a gap made her a little psychologically unbalanced. It seems that the goal she set when she entered AST was too optimistic.

Just when Cheng Yin was slightly depressed, Yang Fan became silent again facing the chart. After a while, he bent down again, and dragged the mouse again, and Cheng Yin's eyes were immediately attracted to the screen again. .

"If you want to provide creative advice to customers, you can't bet all your magic weapons on fait accompli. Analysis based on past data tends to be conservative, and it is impossible to have innovative breakthroughs."

"Do you think these indicators are worth doing?" Cheng Yin stared at the inconspicuous numbers where the mouse hovered, trying her best to guess his intentions.

"Yes, think about why?" Yang Fan seemed to be her instructor.

Cheng Yin thought about it seriously, her eyes flicked back and forth between the data, "Well...they seem to be related to several significant increases in customers, but this connection does not seem obvious...however, their effects should all be positive of……"

Her thoughts suddenly opened, "20, 80 principles! Do you think it is these 20% measures that keep 80% of the customer's profits?"

Yang Fan laughed, and there was a trace of approval in his eyes, "To be precise, it is the introduction of these indicators by Company B that prevents their losses from being too heavy."

"But how did you find these key points?"

Now Cheng Yin has no time to lament the gap between her and Yang Fan, she is eager to get some scriptures from him, but his answer quickly shattered her fantasy.

"Part by experience, part by feel."

That is to say, not every skill can be acquired by teaching, and on the contrary, it seems that most skills can only be used freely after long-term exploration and comprehension.

With such a calculation, wouldn't she be unable to catch up with him barefoot?
Cheng Yin sighed softly, put aside her grievances for the time being, anyway, Yang Fan helped her a lot tonight.
