Due to the painful experience of being cheated countless times, Su Qingluan was not blindly optimistic that the other party had really changed his original mind, so she quickly declined.
I never thought that Manager Xie was so sincere and repeatedly assured me that if there was any dissatisfaction, we could discuss it again.
Of course, Su Qingluan would not be fooled by these few simple words, but Xie Deshun immediately said - if you are really worried, you can put it on paper in the contract, and you can take the specific terms back and read them slowly. If there are any problems, you can discuss it again.
Su Qingluan raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Can I ask any questions?"
"Any questions you have, Madam Su, can be answered right now." Steward Xie patted his chest, making a loud "bang bang" sound. "I'm a grown man, a man of integrity. A word I say is a nail!"
Su Qingluan smiled and said, "Steward Xie, since you promised me that, I naturally believe you. But can I ask why you two suddenly changed your attitude just now?"
Manager Xie and Aunt Zhang on the other side were both stunned for a moment. They probably didn't expect Su Qingluan to ask such a straightforward question, and for a moment they didn't know how to respond.
Su Qingluan asked for a long time before she understood from the other party's few words - it turned out that the other party was not afraid of anything else, but thought that a little girl like her who had never seen the world could actually compromise for "a mere one or two taels of gold", which showed that she was short-sighted.
In addition, she was young and had a very strict control over the authority to develop the prescription, so he was afraid that she would ignore it and quit.
When the two of them went out to whisper before, they were trying to verify with Xie Zian what kind of person Su Qingluan was - after all, relatively speaking, at the beginning, when Xie Zian didn't show the moody temper of a "young master from a noble family", the two of them got along quite casually.
The fact that Su Qingluan went crazy while holding the jam left a deep impression on everyone in the Xie family, leaving a deep psychological scar.
So Aunt Zhang and Butler Xie made a prompt decision: change the strategy, change the strategy immediately!
When negotiating with a person who knows when to advance and when to retreat and knows how to behave, you should argue with reason. This is especially true if the other person appears to be soft-hearted and is a young girl. It's not just about arguing with reason, but more importantly, you should emotionally make her feel that you are genuinely considering her, which is called "winning her heart."
If Su Qingluan knew what these two people were thinking, she would understand: it turned out that these two people wanted to play moral and emotional kidnapping.
But it is obvious that this kind of negotiation method can only be used on people who are "thin-skinned but have high moral standards."
Obviously, Su Qingluan's originally well-behaved and beautiful appearance gave Zhang Ma and Xie Guanshi some misconceptions. And since she had never done anything that "revealed her true nature" since she met Zhang Ma and Xie Guanshi, this misconception was amplified.
Therefore, Su Qingluan felt that the other party had always treated her as a girl to be manipulated and was not really sincere in discussing business.
But Xie Zian's words just now opened the door to a new world for Manager Xie and Aunt Zhang - it turned out that the seemingly well-behaved lady of the Su family was actually so...unconventional!
Of course, these two people came to discuss business with Su Qingluan. The reason why the Xie family sent Xie Guanshi instead of continuing to use the maid in front of the old lady Zhang Ma to do this matter was that the head of the Xie family—Xie Zian's father, Xie Xuanfan, a dignified third-rank official—believed that this business deal could bring absolute benefits to the Xie family.
And this benefit is obviously not just economic.
At least from the current perspective, as the only one cooperating with Su Ji and able to obtain the sales channel of "Su Ji" jam, Xie Mansion has greatly increased its popularity among ladies and wives - even if everyone does not know that Xie Mansion is behind "Su Ji", they essentially buy goods through Xie Mansion's shop.
What is represented behind this is a huge network of personal connections - the saying "flattery is worse than pillow talk" may not be considered elegant, but it does make sense.
Therefore, driven by the dual interests, Xie Xuanfan's tendency to cooperate with Su Ji is very obvious - although Su Ji has not yet become big and strong, but when Su Ji really becomes influential, to be honest, Xie Xuanfan can still be called a "man in the clouds" outside the capital. After all, except for those with titles, the rest of the frontier officials are only of the third rank.
But it is different in the capital. Not to mention the noble families and royal relatives who are related to the same clan, it is not uncommon for people to earn high-ranking titles through military exploits.
If the first-rank title is very rare and the second-rank title is relatively rare, then the third-rank "big official" even if not so common, is definitely not considered a particularly great official.
After all, there's a joke: In the capital, a falling tile could easily hit a third-rank official. If it had no rank, it could be a member of a prominent family or a royal relative.
In a sense, the latter is more difficult to deal with than the former.
Under such a complicated network of interpersonal relationships, the old marquis of the Xie family, who inherited the title, has passed away, and Xie Xuanfan, who is in power, is only a third-rank official and has no title, which is not enough.
Therefore, if Su Ji really becomes bigger and stronger, it is still unknown whether it will be the Xie family's turn to grab a piece of meat.
Xie Xuanfan’s attitude was very clear—this cooperation must be promoted.
So what he wanted to hear was the perfect result of the cooperation, rather than hearing Manager Xie or even Aunt Zhang complain about how difficult and moody Su Qingluan and Su Ji were as a partner.
To put it bluntly, no matter how difficult Su Qingluan is to deal with, these two people are here to "deal with" her.
But I originally thought it was a harmless little white rabbit, but suddenly I learned from Xie Zian that Su Qingluan was a real psychopath, the kind that would suddenly become ill without any warning.
The most terrible thing is that when this psychopath gets angry, he doesn't just vent his anger mindlessly, but knows how to target the most vulnerable points.
This alone made Manager Xie and Aunt Zhang feel very difficult.
So the two decided to calm Su Qingluan down first, and agree to whatever conditions she asked for. As for what to do behind the scenes, they would discuss it later.
So after being stunned for a moment, they immediately came up with various excuses, such as "they were afraid that Su Qingluan would quit the job directly, which would cause them to be blamed by their superiors, and they might even be punished or have their monthly salary reduced", and "Su Qingluan seemed to be a reasonable person, and we could discuss anything slowly", etc.
In short, it is a mixture of truth and falsehood, but it is not completely nonsense.
But Su Qingluan still felt that something was wrong, even though on the surface they were acting like "I'm fine, you're fine, everyone's fine", and saying "You two both care so much about me, how can a little girl like me be so ungrateful".
But secretly, Su Qingluan was still secretly cautious, paying special attention to whether there were any strangers around her home and on the roads she had to take every time she went to town.
This feeling of suspense and anxiety was confirmed the day before "preliminary negotiations were reached" and the formal contract was about to be drafted.
