Guo Lijun immediately knew what was going on, because Mr. Zhang in the office had a precious gun that he usually didn't want to use.
"This is too expensive, it's not suitable, Xiuyuan, take it back..." Guo Lijun closed the exquisite box and handed it back, but he couldn't take his eyes off it, he liked it so much.
As soon as Li Xiuyuan saw Guo Lijun's expression, he understood. There are two major elements in gift-giving. One is that the gift should touch the other person's heart. For someone engaged in earthwork engineering, if you give him a pen or a calligraphy or painting, he will not know where to throw it in the blink of an eye.
The second thing is to give gifts that highlight their value. In other words, they should show their nobility. In simple terms, you should give high-quality gifts in small categories, and not small gifts in large categories.
For example, if the other person loves to drink red wine, if you give him a bottle of red wine worth one thousand yuan, he will think you are humiliating him, but if you give him a wine glass worth one thousand yuan, he will think you have met a confidant.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and shook his head, not even taking the pen that was handed back to him. "Uncle Guo, this sword accompanies a hero, and rouge accompanies a beautiful woman. In my hand, this pen is just a piece of stationery, but in your hand, it's a torch that can illuminate others. I heard from the squad leader that the rural education report you edited last time was like a torch, allowing more people to see the plight of children in mountainous areas."
Li Xiuyuan's words touched Guo Lijun's heart, and he was overjoyed in an instant. Not only did it scratch his sore spot, but it also tied the value of this gift to its contribution to society.
The value of this pen has changed, and it makes him feel that accepting the pen is a contribution to society. This sentence not only praises the pen, but also praises Guo Lijun.
Kang Yuxuan, who was watching from the side, was confused from beginning to end. When did Li Xiuyuan become so powerful? What he said was too profound. Squad leader, he is his own squad leader?
"Xiuyuan, this... well, okay." Guo Lijun did not refuse and accepted it directly. This touched his heart, and there was no reason not to accept it. Of course, this was mainly because Li Xiuyuan asked him to do it, so there was definitely no problem with it.
After accepting the gift, Guo Lijun's tone changed. "Don't worry about your manuscript. I'll arrange it as soon as possible. If nothing goes wrong, it will definitely be published in the provincial daily newspaper this week. I'll do my best to help you get a position. I'll let you know when I have any news."
Li Xiuyuan felt relieved when he heard this. This intellectual was very particular. He would think about doing things after receiving things. Unlike some leaders in the system, they did not even realize how to do things after receiving things.
"Uncle Guo, please pay more attention to this matter."
The atmosphere at the dinner table became even more lively, and after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the dinner ended.
Li Xiuyuan and Kang Yuxuan stood at the door of the hotel to see Guo Lijun off. Before leaving, Guo Lijun left Li Xiuyuan's contact information.
After Guo Lijun left, Kang Yuxuan was about to say something when Li Xiuyuan handed him a bag.
"It's also a Hero brand, an 18K gold pen. It's a bit inferior to your cousin's fountain pen. I don't have much money on me, but I remember your kindness. I won't say thank you, I'll leave it to you as a token of my friendship..."
Kang Yuxuan was dumbfounded. Li Xiuyuan's behavior at the previous dinner had already opened his eyes. He could not even imagine all kinds of flattering words, but Li Xiuyuan just said them without hesitation.
I even felt that I was not worthy of being the class monitor. Li Xiuyuan should be the class monitor. Now what did Li Xiuyuan do? I was just a fucking elementary school kid in front of Li Xiuyuan.
I treated myself to a meal yesterday, and Li Xiuyuan praised me so much that I felt extremely comfortable and my emotions were full of value.
Li Xiuyuan paid for today's meal. Although I invited him, Li Xiuyuan's performance was unexpected and made me feel proud.
Now he even gave himself a pen, which is a little different from what he gave to Guo Lijun. Li Xiuyuan clearly said that there was not enough money, and at the end there were four words "Friendship substitute." It's even more amazing.
Is "friendship backup" still a favor? He's done this much favor, impeccable, and yet Li Xiuyuan still thinks it's a favor to be a backup...
This guy is just an elementary school kid, no, he is just a kindergarten kid in front of Li Xiuyuan!
