Chapter 118 Breaking the situation
Yu Xiaoli and Han Que discussed where to invite Manager Chen to dinner.
Ordinary restaurants are too noisy and crowded. If something is accidentally seen by colleagues and gets to Xu Chun's ears, it will be bad for Manager Chen.
Han knew that he was a cautious person, otherwise he would not have been in charge of the purchasing department in Chunyi Company for so long.
She knew that Manager Chen and Xu Chun had no relationship, and that he had gotten to this position entirely through his own ability, and had been sitting there for ten years.
He certainly has his ways.
Han thought about it and remembered the private restaurant where he and Tang Zifeng had dinner that day.
It is located in the downtown area with convenient transportation, but it is quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle. It has a separate courtyard, elegant taste and delicious dishes. Even Gu Ningwei can invite people from state-owned assets to dinner there, so it must be safe enough.
But Han was absent-minded that day and couldn't remember the name of the restaurant at all, so he sent a message to Gu Ningwei, but Gu Ningwei was probably busy and didn't reply.
Han couldn't wait and sent another message to Tang Zifeng, asking for the name and address of the restaurant.
Tang Zifeng quickly sent her the name and address of the restaurant, telling her that it was a private restaurant with few private rooms and only accepted reservations from regular customers, and he could help them make the reservation.
Han asked Yu Xiaoli to ask Manager Chen, and after the communication, he sent it to Tang Zifeng.
After a while, Tang Zifeng sent the information about the reserved private room.
Han expressed his gratitude, but Tang Zifeng called him.
Tang Zifeng: "Han Que, I heard about your situation from Gu Ningwei, and I want to congratulate you."
Han felt embarrassed and just responded vaguely.
Tang Zifeng also told her to take care of her health and not to overwork herself, and said that he had already arranged everything regarding the delivery, so Han Que could rest assured.
Han thought about it and told him the market feedback submitted by the sales department.
"Consumers have no problem with our products now, but we haven't done enough publicity for them, so market recognition isn't high. This time, I want to treat this major distributor to a meal and try to expand sales through them."
Tang Zifeng felt a little anxious when he heard her words, and comforted her: "The current situation has exceeded our expectations. This shows that under your leadership some time ago, we have gotten rid of the influence caused by Wang Jianan. You should be happy."
Han said, "But the market recognition is not high enough, and our sales channels have not yet been opened..."
Tang Zifeng laughed and said, "How can we expect results so quickly? The market always takes time to accept new products. You're right. Finding a large distributor and having them endorse us will be much faster than figuring things out on our own."
Han said yes, but then he became a little worried: "This dealer has its own testing standards..."
Tang Zifeng assured her that Zhening Company's new products could withstand any dealer's product testing and would be better than they imagined.
Han got his assurance and gradually felt relieved.
Finally, Tang Zifeng half-jokingly said, "If it doesn't work out, one day you can start a live broadcast and I'll sell you some goods. My reputation as a professor can also bring in some traffic."
Han was touched in her heart, but quickly refused. She knew very well that Tang Zifeng hated being associated with companies, so how could she dare to let him sell goods through live streaming?
Not to mention whether he would violate school rules if he really did this.
Manager Chen came to dinner as promised that day.
Han Que and Yu Xiaoli could see with their own eyes that he was very satisfied with the dining environment and the dishes, and repeatedly praised them for their attentiveness.
Manager Chen also brought his daughter Chen Fan. The little girl and Yu Xiaoli were very familiar with each other, and the two of them chatted about anime and games.
Han Que and Manager Chen were eating and chatting with each other. Manager Chen said, "My daughter doesn't want to put her mind to studying. She only uses her mind to these things. Now I don't dare to teach her a lesson..."
Han knew he was referring to Chen Fan's last runaway incident, so he consoled her, "Your daughter is obviously very smart and independent-minded. There's no need to tell her about this kind of child. She has her own ideas. Once she changes her mind, you won't have to worry about her studies."
Manager Chen nodded and sighed, "Yes, I know she's in the rebellious teenage years of her age and is very sensitive to things and people. Plus, her mother isn't around. As a father, I really can't take it lightly. I don't know how to manage her. And I don't understand what they're saying now..."
He didn't mention why the child's mother wasn't around, but Han didn't ask. He just said, "Look at our Xiao Yu. She's a child herself. You can leave your daughter to her. She and the child have a common language. The child will listen to what the young people say. Let her take care of the child."
Yu Xiaoli heard their conversation and immediately said, "Manager Chen, if you're worried, just leave the child to me. Chen Fan is so smart that he will definitely not let you worry."
She said as she pushed Chen Fan, "Isn't it, Chen Fan? You are a smart and obedient child."
Chen Fan chuckled, nodded, and said, "Yes, Sister Xiaoli, I just like playing with you. You are the only one among these people who can understand me."
She rolled her eyes at Manager Chen and curled her lips, saying, "Unlike my dad, who only knows how to make me study. I've been pushed hard enough in school, and now I come back, he still pushes me."
Yu Xiaoli smiled and tapped her nose. "Your dad is doing that for your own good. He certainly hopes that you'll always get first place in the exams, get into a good middle school, and eventually get into Tsinghua University or Peking University."
Chen Fan wrinkled his nose and sneered, "Oh, Sister Xiaoli, don't you know? We all enrolled in school based on the school district housing. Whether we did well in the exam or not, we could only go to the same school."
"That's no excuse for not studying hard." Manager Chen shook his head helplessly. "The current enrollment system is quite flawed. It's discouraging children from making progress."
Han Que looked at his expression and knew what was going on, so he casually asked about Chen Fan's middle school district.
Before Manager Chen could say anything, Chen Fan said, "The middle school over there is a lousy one. My dad doesn't want me to go there. He says good kids will be corrupted if they go there. He just wants me to apply to a foreign language school."
Then he twisted his body and said unhappily, "But I don't like foreign languages. I don't want to go."
"Then what can you do if you don't go? Are you going to that crappy school? Just look at those kids every day after school. They are all in a mess. If kids go in, they will imitate their example and become bad. Then it won't be a study problem..."
Manager Chen frowned and scolded. Chen Fan stuck out his tongue, turned around and whispered in Yu Xiaoli's ear, not wanting to pay attention to her father.
Manager Chen sighed and said to Han, "Hey, my biggest headache right now is my child's education. You see, she doesn't listen to anything I say."
Han nodded and asked Manager Chen if he had any schools in mind.
Manager Chen said that the closest school to home was No. 1 Middle School.
Han nodded and picked up his phone: "I'll send a message and ask for you."
Manager Chen quickly declined, saying, "Don't bother me. I'm also trying to figure it out."
Han smiled and said, "Let me ask first." She sent a message to Gu Ningwei: "Can you handle No. 1 Middle School or Junior High School?"
Gu Ningwei replied with a question mark.
Han Que: "The daughter of a major customer purchasing manager, entering middle school from primary school."
Gu Ningwei didn't reply, but Han immediately followed up, "No. 1 Middle School seems to be an affiliated middle school of University A. If that doesn't work, I'll ask Professor Tang. He should have a solution."
Gu Ningwei replied immediately: "I'm asking, why are you in such a hurry? I can definitely handle it, no need to bother Tang Zifeng."
Han looked at WeChat, pursed her lips and smiled. She turned to Manager Chen and said, "I'll think of a solution when the child goes to school. This is a very important matter. We must help her no matter what."
Manager Chen's eyes showed a hint of a smile, but his expression was very calm. He said, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Han. I'm really embarrassed to ask others for help. I just feel that I have to ask others for help when my child goes to school. It's really..."
He sighed.
Han quickly said, "This is what we should do. You work so hard and are so busy, isn't it all for the child? It's rare that your child and Yu Xiaoli get along so well. If we can help, we will definitely help."
During the meal, they didn't mention business at all, but only talked about children and family.
After dinner, Manager Chen drove away with the children.
Han Que and Yu Xiaoli stood on the roadside waiting for an online taxi.
Yu Xiaoli sighed and said, "I didn't expect him to agree to meet with us. He wanted to ask you to help with his child's schooling. We haven't even discussed business matters, and yet he's taken on so many other things."
Han looked at the trees along the roadside and said slowly, "This business matter is probably going to be resolved."
Yu Xiaoli uttered an "eh" and turned to look at her in surprise. "Hey, he hasn't said a single word all this time. Sister Han Que, how come you feel like there's something going on?"
Han smiled slightly and said, "For Manager Chen, Chen Fan is his life. Her schooling is a big deal. As long as we can get this done, he will naturally find a way to get our products in."
"Then I helped him find his daughter before, isn't that a favor? Why didn't he tell anyone about it?" Yu Xiaoli thought about it, and was puzzled.
"That's different," Han said.
"Why is it different? Isn't that also a child's business?"
"That incident happened by chance, and Chen Fan will definitely tell him how you tricked the child into telling him. He thinks you're doing this for him, because you're doing it so wholeheartedly."
Han smiled, looked at Yu Xiaoli, and continued, "Besides, after all, he thinks that's just your kindness, not necessarily that you're particularly good to his child. He'd love to give you a banner, praising you for learning from Lei Feng and doing good deeds, or even give you some money to put an end to this matter."
After listening to Han Que's analysis, Yu Xiaoli sighed, "Oh my god, I'm always around Chen Fan. Could it be that I'm just a joke in his eyes? No wonder he doesn't mention the purchase of goods."
"That's not a joke, it's an ice-breaking operation," Han said.
"Ice Breaking Operation?"
"Yes, because of you, we had the opportunity to establish a relationship with him, and he developed a sense of trust in us. Otherwise, we wouldn't even be qualified to treat him to a meal. Think about it, the position of purchasing manager, there is nothing to eat, and he still needs you to eat a meal."
Yu Xiaoli listened to Han Que's analysis and nodded repeatedly. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Then why do you think this matter has been resolved?"
"Because he was the one who brought up the school selection issue. Since he put forward the conditions, of course he wants to exchange with us. That's why I said that our relationship is on the horizon."
"Oh, I see." Yu Xiaoli exclaimed, looking at Han Que's face: "Sister Han Que, I find that you are getting more and more powerful now."
Han smiled and said nothing.
She is making continuous progress, and that is all because she has a good teacher by her side.
Gu Ningwei said that the most important thing in doing business is human heart and human nature.
Once you can understand human nature and grasp people's hearts, there will be no business that you cannot negotiate.
Sure enough, a few days later, Gu Ningwei handed the approval note from the Director of the Education Bureau to Han Que.
Han found some time and sent him to the downstairs of Chunyi Company, and told him to go to the principal early with the approval slip.
"The principal has a lot of notes in his hands. You'd better send them over earlier and queue up earlier. If you are late, the spots will be taken away." Han Que said.
Manager Chen was naturally very grateful.
Half a month later, Manager Chen sent a WeChat message to Yu Xiaoli, asking them to bring new samples to the company for a meeting, saying that Chairman Xu Chun wanted to learn about the latest products, and asked them to bring the head of the technical department with them.
