give you joy

Chapter 28 Mine is lychee flavored, do you want to try it?

When the meeting met on Monday, the question of the budget was back on the table.

At the meeting, two completely different production opinions were put forward. One is not to recommend rapid expansion. If the production line is too long, the capital chain will be tight. It is better to focus on the current market, maintain existing customers, and make steady progress.The other is more inclined to look for financing channels, use current customers as a stronghold, purchase patents, and actively open up new battlefields.

Yueyan also went to this meeting, and what surprised her was Han Ling's attitude. She insisted on refusing to increase the production line, and even argued with Shen Ziqiao for this reason. For the sake of sympathy, she also moved out his stepfather Gao Zhiming. If it wasn't for his rush to expand and the cash flow was tight, how could he have suffered such a complete defeat.

If Shen Ziqiao is a sword that expands territory, then Han Ling's self-defense dagger is as sharp as Shen Ziqiao.

No one in the company knew about the relationship between Gao Zhiming, Shen Ziqiao, and Yueyan. They only saw Mr. Shen's expression change immediately, and he left in a huff.

Han Ling's face turned pale, and her fingers holding onto the table lost all color in an instant.

When Yueyan found him, he was sitting alone on the stairs on the second floor of the factory, with a circle of cigarette butts scattered around his feet, and one still held between his fingertips. The blue smoke ring rose straight into the air, and then circled and dispersed , like a lonely exclamation point.

Sensing the sound of approaching footsteps, Shen Ziqiao didn't raise his head until the shadow fell on his half body.

Yue Yan stood in front of him: "Have you eaten yet?"

He turned his head and said coldly: "I'm full of gas."

Suddenly, something stuck out in front of his eyes, he raised his eyelids and looked, it was a lollipop.

"Stop smoking, I'll treat you to candy."

Shen Ziqiao stared at the pink candy for a few seconds, but didn't move.

Yueyan twisted the stick and brought it to his lips: "Try it."

Shen Ziqiao hid to the side with a little disgust, but couldn't help the girl's perseverance, he took the cigarette in another hand, took it, turned around a few times, and looked down: "What flavor?"

"Try it yourself."

He half frowned and licked: "Strawberry?"

"Don't you like strawberries? Mine is lychee. Would you like to try it?"

The girl pulled it out of her mouth and brought it wet to him.He didn't answer, and put her hand directly into his mouth, rolling it between her cheek and tongue a few times.

"Is it delicious?" Yueyan let go and asked.

He was greedy for that feeling, and nodded with still meaning.

"Then you can eat mine. Anyway, I like strawberries and lychees."

In the narrow safe passage, the two chewed lollipops like children, discussing the taste and aroma of the candies, and bought some chocolate brands that they both thought were good.Even when they were really children, there was no time for such peace and harmony.Accompanying this kind of thing is really like wine, the longer it is stored, the more mellow it can be tasted.

Yue Yan couldn't help asking: "Do you have any trouble with Han Ling?"

Ever since she moved in, she felt that this girl had something against Shen Ziqiao, and Shen Ziqiao ignored her.

He sneered: "When the factory was first opened, Han Zhen used funds to invest 200 million shares."

Only then did Yueyan suddenly realize.

So Han Ling will work in this company, so Han Ling will challenge Shen Ziqiao with that attitude at the meeting.She has every reason to consider the company from her brother's point of view, and question every decision made by Shen Ziqiao.

But at the beginning of starting a business, who doesn't want to be recognized and supported?Whoever can bear it is being pointed at every day, and his hard work is denied.

Shen Ziqiao lowered his voice, still a little confused: "I made it through the most difficult time, why no one would believe me, I just want to make this factory bigger... Yanyan, why can't they understand me?"

"I understand you." She said seriously, "Shen Ziqiao, let me help you, okay?"

"Yanyan..." He still shook his head, "You're a girl, this job is too hard."

Yueyan became anxious, and pointed at him with a lollipop: "Don't underestimate people, who said that girls can't be salesmen, our products are good, our after-sales service is timely, and our products are cheap and high-quality, so why no one buys us? accessories!"

Shen Ziqiao was amused by her words, and smiled, his eyes seemed to be sweating.

No matter where he went, only she still defended him wholeheartedly, thinking that he was good in everything and powerful in everything.

"Is that how you want to do sales?"

She nodded repeatedly, like a puppy, but actually more like a kitten, especially when squatting in front of him like this.

He raised his hand and rubbed her hair: "Stupid."

She coquettishly said, "Just promise me!"

"Let me think."

"What else are you thinking about?"

Across an iron railing, Han Ling was standing on the bottom step of the corner with two cups of hot coffee in her hand, motionless, as if she had been immobilized by something.

The first second she heard those slight sounds, she was hairy all over, and her hands connected to her arms were shaking uncontrollably.

It wasn't what she thought, the most embarrassing thing for her didn't happen, they weren't kissing, but it made her feel even more ashamed.

How much of the fight with Shen Ziqiao at the staff meeting was due to consideration for the company, and how much was due to her invisible selfishness, even she couldn't tell, just like she would never be able to explain clearly to her brother. The reason for insisting on coming to Shenziqiao Company.

She has always looked up to the person she admires. In order to be worthy of him, she hopes that she is also brainy, visionary, sharp, full of wisdom and self-confidence, and stands out from the disagreements again and again, so as to be remembered by him , Remember yourself as a maverick woman.

She didn't know what she was doing wrong because it made her look like a fool.

In Shen Ziqiao's eyes, a fool without a brain.

The next day, Qian Ning called Yueyan away from the HR department, and took her directly to the big office on the second floor of their factory. Shen Ziqiao explained and explained on the phone that if she could bring her out, she could bring her back. Qian Ning listened Secretly complaining, whether he can watch or not drink, is it because he threw a hot potato to him.

Before leaving, Yueyan was packing up her bits and pieces at the workstation. Wei Haoran came over with a look of envy, and put his hands on the side of the partition: "Yueyan, I really envy you. I don't know why you can switch to sales so soon. Is it my turn?" She smiled guiltyly, not daring to say words of encouragement to him.After packing up, Jiang Jie sent her downstairs, and finally said with emotion: "You are the first to go out from the personnel department to do sales, Yue Yan, I don't know whether to congratulate you or persuade you."

Yueyan knew her kindness, hugged her, and went to look for Qian Ning with the box in her hand.

She called Qian Ning Master, and after getting to know him, she called him Brother Qian.Qian Ning showed her around, and all departments went to say hello.

Qian Ning is in his thirties and just got married last year. After getting married, he was fed by his wife and gained more than 30 catties. He said that he can feel at ease when he goes out to sell.Yue Yan had seen a group photo of their group building before. In the photo, Qian Ning was neither fat nor thin, a bit like a low-profile version of Lu Yi, but with thirty catties of meat on her body, Lu Yi would not be able to get up again.

For Yueyan, Qian Ning had to say that he taught her everything from negotiating skills to product speaking skills. He also brought Yueyan to dinner with upstream companies several times. He didn't expect her to be able to negotiate the list, so he let her grow gain knowledge.

After getting along with each other in just a few days, Yue Yan also found out Qian Ning's temperament. He has the usual kindness, stability and care of a fat man, but no matter how happy he is at the wine table, he seldom communicates with others. Always a little distance away.Yueyan even felt that he was actually not optimistic about herself, but he just didn't show it.

The first business he took her to discuss was with their supplier of raw materials, a Japanese company, three men and two Japanese women, who have been stationed in China all year round, and they speak Chinese better than them. , The three men kept talking about the land in China they had been to. One of them, Fujii, was the most hateful. He asked Yueyan if she could speak Japanese, and Yueyan shook her head, saying that she could not.Fujii said with a smile: "No, it doesn't matter, I will be your teacher, come, I will teach you, Auntie Nishi Railway." The two Japanese women covered their mouths and turned their backs with a smile.

Yue Yan pretended not to understand, so she had to laugh with them all the time.She is the only woman among Party A's representatives.

The more Fujii drank, the happier he was, so he simply took off his tie and tied it on his forehead, dancing like a woman in confinement, and kept pulling Yueyan to dance their dance called "Shangfang Dance".

A man named Beichuan in the seat rescued her and whispered something in his ear in Japanese.Only then did Fujii gather a little more.

When it came to the end, the Japanese side was only willing to drop two more points on the original purchase contract, which was far from the agreement they had made verbally before. The six Japanese were exhausted.

Before leaving, Qian Ning sent them to the entrance of the hotel, accompanied by Yueyan, shaking hands one by one at the entrance, the Japanese were nice, no matter how crazy they were, on the surface they still looked like they had caused so much trouble to others.

The two parties bowed to each other.

As the car approached, he raised his legs and was about to get in the car, when he suddenly heard someone calling Mr. Bei Chuan from the stairs. A group of people approached, and the leader was indeed Tian De.

People in their late [-]s are tall and not bloated because of their long-term fitness. Their favorite clothes are jeans and jackets, as if they can go out to play golf with others at any time.

Beichuan and the others seemed to recognize him, they rushed forward to hold his hand, shaking it again and again.With a smile on his face, Tian De greeted the Japanese representatives one by one. He raised his head and saw the pleasant face in the crowd. He let out a surprise, as if surprised: "Yan Yan, why are you here? This is the client?"

She didn't look surprised, she was always indifferent.It was Tian De who was enthusiastic. He put his arm around Bei Chuan's shoulders to introduce him, speaking each word slowly, as if caring for the other's ear: "This is my niece, can you understand me? She is my brother's daughter."

Bei Chuan smiled, speaking Chinese not too idiomatically: "Brother, are you fooling me again? Miss Gao's surname is not Tian."

Tian De laughed loudly and patted him on the shoulder: "My old classmate's daughter is no different from a niece. If her company negotiates a contract with you, for my sake, Beichuan, you have to take care of her."

Bei Chuan understood and said repeatedly that there was no problem, no problem.

Yue Yan didn't say a word until Qian Ning sent the group of Japanese to the car.

Tian De just came over, with the smile on his face still, he walked up to Yueyan: "Yanyan, go upstairs and sit down, your brother Zhiyuan just got out of the hospital, and he ate with his friends up there."

Yueyan's expression was slightly moved, she raised her head and asked, "Why is brother Zhiyuan hospitalized?"

When Tian De mentioned this son, he got a headache: "I almost lost my life in a car accident."

Before going up, she sent a text message to Qian Ning, telling him not to send her off, and Qian Ning told her to be careful.After thinking about it, he sent Shen Ziqiao the same message.

She put away her mobile phone and followed Tian De into the elevator. There was another assistant, a driver, and a good-looking young woman in the elevator. The young woman had been peeking at Yue Yan in the reflective wall of the elevator. Go, as soon as it was smashed, the woman smiled at her awkwardly.She knew that this was Tian De's new girlfriend, whose surname seemed to be Shi, and she looked a little familiar.

Tian De asked her when she returned to Hangzhou.Yue Yan said an approximate time.Tian De looked at her with a smile: "I heard that you joined Ziqiao's company as soon as you came back?"

Yueyan asked calmly, "Who did you hear that from?"

The young woman was surprised by the way she spoke to Tian De, and couldn't help but look at her again.Tian De didn't think he was disobedient, and he still had a smile on his face. Just looking at this face, I'm afraid there is no elder who is as loving and tolerant as he: "I know the old money of his company, and I have bumped into him several times when talking about business. Since If you want to do sales, why don't you come to Uncle's company, I'll ask someone to take you by the hand."

She tugged on the chain of her satchel, and said in a flat tone, "I'm fine like this."

When the elevator reached the destination floor, a group of people went out in a file, still headed by Tian De, and the others were in the rear. Yue Yan walked beside him, listening to him pretending to care about some matters in his work and life.

Yueyan couldn't help but think, if nothing happened to her father, she would definitely feel very touched now.

At last they reached the door of the box marked Pine Forest. The waiter who brought them in leaned forward and pushed open the door, and a strong sound burst out.Yueyan's footsteps stopped for a while, and Tian De's face changed suddenly when he smelled a strange fragrance in the air. After swearing, he walked quickly through the front hall and entered the bedroom of the suite. There was a roar: "I don't want my life, smoking this kind of thing?"

The young men and women were driven and stumbled out of the room, each with a dazed look, when a girl passed by her, she smiled faintly at Yue Yan, her eyes were black and her smile was ghostly, like a wild ghost.

She was terrified, picked up her bag, turned around and walked out.Seeing this, the woman surnamed Shi hurried to catch up: "Miss Yan, I'll take you down."

She stopped, turned her head abruptly, and shouted as if she couldn't bear it: "My surname is Gao, don't call me Miss Yan."

The woman surnamed Shi seemed to be frightened, and called her in an embarrassing way: "Miss Gao."

Crazy, all crazy, Yueyan didn't even take the elevator, so she left her and ran down the stairs.

Yueyan rushed out of the hotel gate without looking back, as if there was some beast chasing after her, rushing down the steps, there was a torrent of traffic, but fortunately, someone behind her grabbed her arm in time, and dragged her back to her side violently. Breathing right next to her ears, she was in a daze, and slowly calmed down after the man's facial expressions.

As soon as Shen Ziqiao received her news, he rushed to the dining place. Although he knew that Tian De would not do anything to her, he still couldn't slow down.

Before the traffic police came to put on the stickers, he helped Yueyan, who was just in shock, into the car, fastened the seat belt, and pulled it hesitantly after fastening it.

He held her chin, let her look into his eyes, and said, "Yanyan, look at me, it's me, I'll take you home now."

A pair of figures in her eyes gradually became clear, she recognized him, and nodded obediently.

Shen Ziqiao touched her face approvingly.

Before the car arrived at the door, Yueyan had recovered her composure, and he didn't ask about Tian De's past with her.It was she who looked at the flowing scenery outside the car, and suddenly said softly: "Why can a person be so hypocritical?"

"Smile at you, talk to you, treat you as the closest person, as if those things have nothing to do with him... as if I have never done those disgusting things..."

Shen Ziqiao was even more speechless, he wouldn't be so foolish as to think that this had nothing to do with Li Huifen, it was his mother's infatuation that harmed her father, and this was the only factor that terrified him in this relationship.

Would she hate herself too, even if it was just for a moment, a moment?

Tian Zhiyuan came out of the bedroom with an arm covered in plaster hanging, wearing a non-mainstream style hoodie, and two hairy legs dangling in slightly fat beach pants.He was yawning, looking sluggish, and the only intact arm was covered with dark-style tattoos of ghost hands, skulls and hanging ropes, which made people shudder to watch.

He walked unsteadily to the living room, and fell face up on the couch, with one foot on the ground, with a satisfied look on his face.

All the ghosts and monsters in the room were chased away by Tian De. He sat on the single sofa with a disgusted expression on his face, as if looking at his son even more would be against his wish.

"What happened to your hair?"

Tian Zhiyuan raised his hand and rubbed the hair on his forehead, and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry about it."

Tian De sneered: "I don't care about you now, do I wait until you die outside before I can take care of you?"

Tian Zhiyuan has heard these words since he was a child, and he has always heard them once, and never takes them to heart. Tian De is busy, so he doesn't care to come over to him. It's already as difficult as reaching the sky.

Seeing his virtuous behavior, Tian De wished him so much, he patted the armrest and pointed at him and scolded him: "Look at your current appearance, you are so nonsense, you are no different from a street gangster. Your sister was scared away by you when she saw you just now!"

Tian Zhiyuan looked at the ceiling, and laughed with a poof: "What kind of sister is she? Don't forget, her own father is still lying in the hospital."

Tian De was poked at the center of the matter, and turned his eyes away after seeing him.After a long time, he slowly said: "I'm just your son, from childhood to adulthood, I won't give you anything you want, as long as you can live your life with peace of mind and don't go outside to cause trouble, your father and I will be satisfied. "

It's rare for him to say such heartfelt words, but Tian Zhiyuan didn't enter into it at all, and said lazily: "What does it mean to live a life with peace of mind, I think it's pretty good for me now."

This is always the case. The father and son showed signs of falling out after a few words. Tian De suppressed his anger: "Is this good? You are jealous of a woman who competes with others and knocks her into a high-ranking paraplegic. How many relationships did you have to settle this matter for you, otherwise you are still squatting in prison now!"

Tian Zhiyuan's expression was ruthless, and his face was gloomy: "That's what he deserves. He robbed me of a woman, and he didn't think about whether he was capable or not!"

Tian De stared at him, frowned, and shook his head: "Look at yourself now, screaming and shouting, with such a strong anger, if you go on like this, you will suffer a lot. It's better to have someone staring at you next to you. I advise you, just stop you from going on the wrong road."

Tian Zhiyuan turned a deaf ear to it, closed his eyes and let out a snort, the person who can control him probably hasn't been born yet.

In fact, Tian De already had a candidate in mind, and looked at him with a smile: "What do you think of this kid Yan Yan? He's well-behaved and gentle. If you like it, I'll arrange a time for you to meet."

Tian Zhiyuan felt it was unbelievable, and looked at his father like a lunatic, "Yanyanyanyan, you don't even want to mention her surname now, so you don't want to admit her surname Gao?" He sneered, "You Don't be too sentimental, maybe people will hate you in their hearts!"

Tian De rubbed his kneecaps, and said slowly: "She hates her, what has it to do with you, she is young now, she has got into a dead end, she can't figure it out, when she gets older, she will naturally figure it out. It would have been nice One of his children was dragged down by Gao Zhiming."

The next day, Bei Chuan took the initiative to call Qian Ning's office. When he put down the landline, an unbelievable trance flashed across Qian Ning's face. Everyone in the office held their breaths to see his expression. After more than ten seconds, the trance faded away. , a big, heartfelt smile appeared on his face, then he dropped the microphone, slammed the table hard, and said loudly: "It's done."

After a moment of silence, everyone in the office applauded.Beichuan agreed to sign a five-year supply contract at the price they had previously agreed upon orally. There are very few places where developing private enterprises can reduce costs. The supply of raw materials is the main source. Kangsheng is engaged in electronic machine parts, electrical appliances The industry also has low and peak seasons, and more and less raw materials are consumed.It is necessary to grasp the precise amount when purchasing goods. The hoarding of raw materials not only occupies the warehouse area, but also is not conducive to the company's capital turnover. It is the key to the operation of private enterprises to have a stable, long-term and low-priced supply source.

The conclusion of this contract also allowed Qian Ning to give Yueyan a big credit in front of Mr. Shen.The sales department was originally a man's world, and a female army was suddenly pushed in. There were many people who were not convinced. This time, Qian Ning wisely gave all the credit to Yueyan, not only because of Shen Ziqiao's relationship, but also because of Beichuan The name of a man named Tian De was repeatedly mentioned on the phone.

Shen Ziqiao was delighted to hear it, but on the surface he didn't take it seriously, as if a parent tried to pretend to be disapproving when someone praised his child: "I think this Gao Yueyan's ability is average, this time I can win this supply contract at a low price, it's totally worth it." It depends on Manager Qian laying the groundwork well in the early stage."

After all, he is a mortal, and he is not completely immune to compliments.Manager Qian shook his hands again and again, and said modestly, but the smile on his face could not be removed.

Under Mr. Shen's instruction, the personnel department arranged a small celebration banquet in the evening. All the employees of the company were invited. Those who had a car drove by themselves, and those who didn't took a taxi.According to the usual practice, colleagues who have a car before going will call out in the company to ask if anyone wants to take their own car.The eight girls at the front desk and after-sales took the cars of two sales managers. Wei Haoran drove away all the colleagues in the office in a yellow polo, and the colleagues in the quality inspection department also had cars.

Before leaving, Han Ling glanced at the company group, there was no Gao Yueyan, and no one asked Gao Yueyan.

Because she didn't go.

Chen Siheng called when they were about to leave, and Yueyan asked Qian Ning for leave after receiving it. At first, Qian Ning refused to agree to it. She is the protagonist, and if the protagonist does not go to the celebration banquet, there will be What's the meaning.So downstairs in the company, she deliberately made a face on the ground to scold her. Of course, it was mostly a joke. Yue Yan also had a little understanding of Qian Ning's temper. Like the girls in Japanese TV dramas, she put her hands into fists in front of her mouth, and kept saying please, please. , combined with her innocent eyes, gives people a very naive and cute feeling.

Qian Ning said righteously: "This is not acceptable. If you can say please, please. If you want to ask for leave, ask Mr. Shen to write a note."

While the two of them were talking, a silver-gray car drove past them. The headlights cut across their knees and feet in a straight line. , the car had already driven away, and Qian Ning followed the taillights of the car to look at it, and couldn't help but let out a gasp.

Yueyan also looked over there, the overexposure covered the blind spots in her vision.She didn't see the model and license plate number clearly.

Qian Ning approved her request for leave, but asked her to tell Mr. Shen herself, and teased her with a bit of gloating: "Mr. Shen's test is not as easy as mine."

In fact, many things can be explained clearly on the phone, but every time Chen Siheng asks her out, Yue Yan will not refuse. Subconsciously, she does have a natural closeness to Chen Siheng. This kind of closeness is not the emotional attraction between men and women, but rather It is a certain temperament.In him, Yueyan can often capture similar auras to Gao Zhiming, such as calmness, self-discipline and high morality, which may also have something to do with his profession.

Many studies have shown that daughters who grow up in single-parent families and are more influenced by their fathers are more likely to choose the opposite sex similar to their fathers when choosing a spouse, the so-called Freudian psychology.During Yueyan's adolescence, Gao Zhiming was indeed the most outstanding man she had ever seen.But the strange thing is that she can't see anything similar to Gao Zhiming in Shen Ziqiao's body. He is exposed, casual, selfish, and has such and such nasty little problems, but she loves him so much that she can't extricate herself, as if losing him, My own life has no meaning.

Once things like feelings happen, there is no logic to follow at all, Yueyan then thought of Sun Weiwei, thinking that his father admired this boy so much back then, maybe there were considerations in this regard, Yueyan couldn't help but smile.

Chen Siheng gave her a pair of rinsed chopsticks, and glanced at her: "What are you laughing at?"

When she said it was nothing, she still had a smile on her face, her pear dimples were shallow, and she kept moving her hands, picking out the green onions and coriander in the noodles to the outside of the bowl bit by bit.

Chen Siheng had already eaten half of it, and seeing her picking things slowly, he couldn't help reminding her: "If you don't like food, you can remind the store not to add it."

Yueyan raised her head, tilted her face, her expression was serious, and there was a little girl's innocence in her words: "But they are very fragrant."

So it's just a taste?

Chen Siheng couldn't help laughing: "Isn't this troublesome?"

"I've always been like this," she stuck out her tongue, and her childish movements made her feel cute. Chen Siheng looked at her, and the corners of his mouth turned up following her.

Yueyan admitted a little embarrassedly, "Noodles should look like noodles. It looks better and tastes better after adding green onions and coriander."

Chen Siheng joked with her: "The noodles will be cold by the time you finish picking."

Yueyan said casually: "No, someone will help me choose together."

As soon as the words came out, Yueyan suddenly fell silent, and even Chen Siheng was a little startled when he heard it.

Yueyan stirred the bowl twice with the chopsticks, and said in a low voice, "I'm starting."

Her evasive attitude was too obvious, and it was inconvenient for Chen Siheng to continue asking who that person was.Maybe it was her respected father, maybe it was a relationship she once had, or it could be Shen Ziqiao.

He thought about it aimlessly, and when he realized what he was thinking, even he felt a little ridiculous.Among so many speculations, he inexplicably and strongly felt that Shen Ziqiao was the most likely.

Occasionally seeing Shen Ziqiao looking at him made Chen Siheng secretly startled.

He couldn't explain it himself, maybe some kind of subconscious suggestion was too strong, he always felt that the relationship between the two was beyond the scope of ordinary step-siblings, and this was the main reason why Chen Siheng turned his eyes away from the Shen family siblings.

When the meal was almost finished, Chen Siheng handed her a photo on the phone across the dining table. It was taken from a magazine. The edge of the photo had the texture of fluorescent paper and was slightly reflective. The background was an office with a man crossing his arms Leaning against the desk, smiling at the camera with a confident expression, even though he is not young anymore.

Yue Yan took a look and then looked away.

"Yueyan, do you know this person?"

"I know him. His name is Tian De, and he is my parents' middle school classmate."

"Is he on good terms with your family?"

Yue Yan thought about it.

She shook her head.
