When Lu Xiaoqiao arrived at Jiang Heng Group, she asked the front desk for the floor address of the purchasing department, then took the elevator to the purchasing department. Along the way, she was already shocked by Jiang Heng's interior decoration.
Before entering the building, the complex glass curtain wall outside makes people stop and marvel. Unexpectedly, the interior decoration is more like a modern art palace. The perfect fusion of minimalist lines and high-tech materials gives people an ethereal and futuristic atmosphere.
Even Lu Xiaoqiao, who knew nothing about architecture, secretly admired the design, saying it was a work of art beyond imagination.
As soon as she stepped into the purchasing department, Lu Xiaoqiao saw a woman wearing glasses walking towards her.
"Hello! Are you from Chenxin Clothing Company here to discuss purchasing matters?"
"Hello! I'm Lu Xiaoqiao, Chenxin's sales representative."
Lu Xiaoqiao introduced herself in a hurry. She must have informed the purchasing department after she registered at the front desk and even sent someone to receive her.
The woman nodded: "My last name is Li, and I'm Mr. Qian's secretary."
Secretary Li didn't say anything else and led Lu Xiaoqiao to the manager's office. Before they went in, a woman with big wavy hair and sexy clothes walked out.
When she walked to Lu Xiaoqiao, she stopped, looked her up and down, snorted, and walked away twisting her slender waist.
Lu Xiaoqiao "?"
Secretary Li knocked on the office door twice: "Mr. Qian, the people from Chenxin Clothing are here."
"Come in!" a man's voice came from inside.
Secretary Li leaned over, raised his hand and signaled Lu Xiaoqiao that she could come in, then turned and left.
When Lu Xiaoqiao stepped into the office, she saw a middle-aged man in his early forties, who was slightly plump, sitting on the sofa in the office.
Lu Xiaoqiao briefly introduced herself. Mr. Qian was not arrogant like other leaders. Instead, he warmly invited Lu Xiaoqiao to sit down and talk.
Mr. Qian's enthusiasm, combined with the sexy woman she just met at the door, made Lu Xiaoqiao feel a little uneasy, thinking that Mr. Qian might be a lustful man.
But after sitting down, she found that the distance between them was the maximum limit of the sofa, and Lu Xiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief, so she regarded his enthusiasm as just a courtesy.
I introduced the design drawings I brought this time to Mr. Qian one by one. I talked for a long time, and my saliva was almost dried up. However, the person on the other side just smiled and nodded, and did not say a word.
It can be seen that Mr. Qian is obviously satisfied with Chenxin's design, probably because Chenxin is not an international brand.
It’s not good for the client to be too rich, as he has enough money to make people hate him.
"Mr. Qian, although Chenxin is not an international brand, we have been established for more than ten years. We have our own design team and factory. Your company is not too lenient in terms of time this time. Many companies may find it difficult to meet your quantity requirements in a short period of time. We can not only meet the requirements in terms of time, but also maintain the quality of our products."
After listening to Lu Xiaoqiao's words, Mr. Qian still nodded and smiled, but this time he finally spoke.
"I know this. If it weren't for the time issue, our company wouldn't have gone through the normal bidding process this time. You saw it when you came in just now! That woman is from Jinxin's company, and she's also in the same industry as you. She came to me again just now. It's this kind of ordinary transaction that's the most difficult for me to handle. You see, our company plus the president's technology company are so large, and there are so many people with different perspectives. If I decide and there are many people who oppose it, don't you think I'm under pressure? I have to leave myself a way out!"
I understand. This is a hint to me that I need kickbacks. One of the reasons why Lu Xiaoqiao doesn't like sales is because of this problem. She likes "simple" people, "simple" things, and the pure feeling between people.
Things have come to this point, no matter how much Lu Xiaoqiao doesn't like it, she will fight to get back into the design team.
"I understand. What you mean is..." Lu Xiaoqiao had no experience in sales of such a large amount. She had usually met people who wanted kickbacks, but the Mr. Qian in front of her was not someone who could be dealt with by just a few shopping cards and cash coupons, or a red envelope of a few thousand yuan.
Mr. Qian picked up the cup on the tea table and took a sip of water. He glanced out the window and door of the office, then leaned back on the sofa and said nonchalantly, "What I mean is that it depends mainly on your sincerity. When issuing the invoice..."
Mr. Qian didn't say anything else, but Lu Xiaoqiao understood what he meant. He wanted to issue false invoices to gain greater benefits for himself. She really admired his courage. He dared to do such an illegal thing as issuing false invoices, and the amount was so huge, especially under Jiang Heng, who was famous for his strict requirements on employees.
Lu Xiaoqiao did not reject him immediately, but pretended to think for a moment and said, "Mr. Qian, I really can't make the decision on this. How about this? Let's leave our contact information. I will go back and report this to our manager, and then contact you."
"Okay, the next company I have an appointment with is coming up soon. Let's add each other on WeChat. You should think about it when you get home. I have several alternative companies. I want to give you a chance because our companies are neighbors. It's up to you whether you can seize the opportunity or not."
The two added each other on WeChat. Lu Xiaoqiao said goodbye to Manager Qian and sighed deeply after leaving Jiang Heng.
Lu Xiaoqiao felt that she had no chance to return to the design department. Issuing false invoices was against the law and would not end well if she was caught.
Based on her understanding of her uncle-in-law, although he can be cunning and stingy at times, he would never touch anything illegal. In her aunt's words, both of them came from rural areas and suffered a lot when they first started their business. They know how hard it is to live like this now. It is said that it is easy to start a business but difficult to keep it, because the profit will cost everything in front of you, so you should just live within your means.
After returning to the company and reporting the incident to Manager Tsai, Manager Tsai was shocked and said, "Fake invoices? Is he crazy? If such a large amount of money is discovered, not only will he be blamed, but we will also be sued."
"Then I will ask him later if we can keep the price list unchanged and give him a normal kickback. It may be a little less, but it's better than nothing. He wants so much, I don't think many companies will take the risk."
"Don't worry. I just received a call from the factory saying that many sand washing plants are not accepting orders due to power restrictions. Our own sand washing plant will not accept external orders from today. As a result, many outsourcing companies will automatically give up."
"So we still have a chance, that's great!"
Lu Xiaoqiao originally thought there was no hope, but after hearing what Manager Tsai said, she felt more hopeful.
After leaving Manager Tsai's office, my heart was filled with joy like the waves of the ocean, and I couldn't help but smile.
Arriving at the workstation, Lin Lin glanced at the happy Lu Xiaoqiao and said, "Didn't you go to discuss the group purchase? How come you're back so soon? Look at your expression. Did you make the deal?"
"How can it be that easy? If it were that easy, I would have to wonder if you really went to your uncle for help. I'm telling you, if you go to your uncle for help on this matter, I'll end my relationship with you."
Until now, Lu Xiaoqiao has not adapted to the fact that her friend suddenly became a rich girl. She does not want their friendship to be tainted by worldly dust because of the word "rich".
"Yeah, well, don't tell me. I promise I won't look for my uncle."
Before Lin Lin met Lu Xiaoqiao, all the so-called 'friends' she made were trying to get close to her because Zhou Qi was her uncle.
Only Lu Xiaoqiao "rejected" her because of this identity. The more this happened, the more Lin Lin felt that Lu Xiaoqiao was a friend worth making friends with, and she wanted to be Lu Xiaoqiao's good friend for life.
"That's great. I'm going to treat Jiajie and Momo to dinner tonight. You can come too. We'll choose a place nearby."
I was originally going to treat my roommate to dinner yesterday to celebrate her relocation, but I also had to prepare pictures and materials for the group purchase I discussed with Jiang Heng today, so I couldn't go due to tight schedule, so I decided to have the dinner tonight after get off work.
