"We can't make any mistakes this time, understand?"
Manager Dong sat in the passenger seat of the rented business car, repeatedly giving instructions to the three people in the back seat.
"This time, the venue chosen by the Kuiguang Group for the dinner party is not even their own restaurant! It should be more conspicuous. This is a signal they are sending, indicating that they are very dissatisfied now."
"Look at the mess you made last time. You even alerted the big boss of Kuiguang Group!"
The three people in the back seat murmured in agreement, but dared not speak out their anger.
They didn't even go last time, so they can shift the blame?
Don't you know who caused the trouble? Now that the big boss of Kuiguang Group has been provoked, he knows he is panicking. What have you been doing before? Manager Dong did not bring any gifts this time, or dared not to bring any gifts - such things may be able to impress his subordinates, but it is absolutely impossible to impress a big boss like Yang Ruoqian.
If you dare to use this trick on the big boss of Kuiguang Group, this business will probably fail immediately.
Others make hundreds of millions from a movie, so they would never look down on these so-called high-value gifts.
The contents of the contract must be completed well, costs must be reduced and quality must be improved in order to satisfy Party A.
Ten minutes later, they arrived downstairs of a high-end seafood restaurant and easily found a parking space.
I still remember that a year ago, this location was not so easy to find.
After all, this place was once listed as one of the preferred business dining venues in Jinhai City. Various business people come in and out here in an endless stream, so it is really not easy to find a parking space.
But ever since the restaurant known as "that restaurant" came out of nowhere, various large companies headed by Chengyu have designated that place as their exclusive business dinner venue, and its status in the arena has undergone some small changes.
The seafood restaurant, which used to be bustling with customers, is now seeing a lot less business.
They were even forced to lower their standards and start making some affordable home-cooked meals or special dishes, and begin to move into the lower-tier markets.
"Hurry up and get off the car. Kui Guang has already booked a private room. Do you know what they mean? They want us to order the dishes!"
"This is the skill of workplace social interaction. You must learn to read the true meaning behind every action of others. Do you understand?"
The few of them didn't dare to act rashly and hurried into the restaurant.
Seeing that they were dressed in business attire, the waiter quickly picked up the menu and came over, smiling, "How many people are there in total? Do you need a private room?"
For a business dinner like this, the cost can be at least a few thousand, and at most tens of thousands, so these are customers that absolutely cannot be neglected.
If it were in the past when there were always customers and meals had to be booked several days in advance, they might not have taken it so seriously.
Unfortunately, times are different now...
"The private room has been booked, Pinjiangfang, Mr. Yang, mobile number ending in xxxx." Manager Dong checked the time, "Hurry up and clean up the room and take us to order food."
The waiter had seen this kind of thing many times, so he was not in a hurry at this time: "The room has been cleaned up, don't worry. I'll help you check this..."
The waiter simply glanced at the screen and suddenly something strange flashed in his eyes.
"Well, the records show that the dishes in this private room have already been ordered. Do you want to order more?"
"It's a lot of food, it should be enough for the whole table."
Manager Dong was almost stunned when he heard the waiter's words. The dishes were already ordered?! The ordering method of this kind of seafood restaurant is different from that of ordinary restaurants where you order dishes by looking at a menu - because the pricing method is based on weight, and the main feature is that the ingredients are high-end and fresh, so diners need to go to the place where the ingredients are stored in person.
Whatever ingredient you like, be it fish, lobster or crab, you can take it out of the tank, weigh it and slaughter it on the spot.
If you need top-quality ingredients, you have to order them in advance.
In other words…if there were no special circumstances, Yang Ruoqian would have already arrived at the restaurant, ordered the dishes, and is now sitting in the private room waiting for their arrival! Manager Dong broke out in a cold sweat.
That's not right. They had clearly arrived at the restaurant quite some time in advance just to get everything done before the people from Kuiguang Group arrived.
How come the people over there are faster?
Generally speaking, don't parties like this always come on time, or even arrive a few minutes late to show off their status? Manager Dong found that there was a slight deviation between his thoughts and reality.
"Has Mr. Yang in this room arrived yet?"
The waiter nodded and said, "We're here. Do you want to go directly to the private room now? I'll ask someone to take you up there?"
Manager Dong didn't even bother to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead and urged, "Hurry up!"
As a party B that is not that strong and does not have a monopoly in the industry, facing a super party A with deep pockets and an extremely strong legal department, I ended up arriving later than the other party during dinner? And I even let the other party order the dishes for me? !
Do you still want to do this business? If it were a party A with a worse temper, he would probably get angry! After all, it was once one of the most high-end restaurants in Jinhai City. The waiter was well-informed and nodded immediately, saying, "Okay, I'll take you there... Um, do you need help getting a bottle of wine or a pack of cigarettes?"
From the attitude of Manager Dong and others, it can be seen that they are the ones who are asking others to do things for them.
As a result, the person who was asking for favors was late, and the one who was supposed to treat someone to a meal turned into being treated. If he went empty-handed, there would probably be a huge gathering to question him.
At this time, the cigarettes and alcohol prepared by the restaurant can come in handy.
Walk into the room with a box of good wine and a pack of good cigarettes, find an excuse to be late, and rush to pay the bill when the final check comes. Generally, being late will not lead to any huge disaster.
However, Manager Dong, who was severely scolded for bringing in a gift last time, did not dare to make the same mistake again. He shook his head vigorously and signaled the waiter with his eyes to lead the way quickly.
This is troublesome... I guess I need to make some concessions on the contract to satisfy Yang Ruoqian.
The waiter nodded: "Okay, please follow me."
After entering the elevator and arriving at the 12th floor, after turning two corners, the waiter and a few others stopped at the door of the "Pinjiang" private room and knocked on the door.
Boom boom boom.
"waiter."
After stating his identity, he gently opened the door and stood to the side, leaving enough space for Manager Dong and his group to enter and exit.
As soon as the door opened, Manager Dong began the performance she had repeated countless times in her mind. She walked into the room with an apologetic smile and said, "Oh, leaders of Kuiguang Group, I'm so sorry. There was a little traffic jam outside, and I happened to wait for several red lights. I was two minutes late. I'm so sorry!"
As she spoke, she began to look at the people in the private room.
Well... first of all, there are the people in the crew, Cheng Fei who basically doesn't care about anything, the director who looks a little haggard, and the actress Shang Qianyu who has a perfect figure and appearance but a good appetite.
Shao Yiqi, who refused all the gifts and scolded himself last time, did not show up this time... It was a blessing in disguise.
If Shao Yiqi comes again this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to have this meal.
With a slight sigh of relief, Manager Dong continued to quickly shift his gaze... The young man sitting in the main seat should be Yang Ruoqian, and his eyes seemed a little unfriendly.
Manager Dong was not surprised by this. After what happened last time, it would be strange for others to be nice to him.
Sitting next to Yang Ruoqian is...
etc!
Why does this person look so familiar? ! All the apologies and polite words that Manager Dong had prepared were stuck in his mouth in an instant, and his mind went blank.
The person sitting next to Yang Ruoqian is Qi Mu? !
Was it Qi Mu who didn't give him any face this morning and forced him to resign, causing him to lose face in front of all the employees? How come after not seeing her for a few hours, she went from being an employee under him to a representative of Party A who he couldn't afford to offend?
The sudden change of identity made Manager Dong unable to hide the shock on his face.
No wonder, no wonder even a salary increase couldn’t keep her, it turns out she found another job.
The benefits and wages of Kuiguang Group are far above the industry average. Manager Dong thinks that a salary increase of 800 is a lot, but it must be a joke in Qi Mu's eyes.
Being able to sit next to Yang Ruoqian and to follow the crew to participate in such an important project, the position that Qi Mu applied for in Kuiguang Group must be of a very high status!
It is even very likely that she is the executive secretary assistant to the president himself.
Finished...
If this were true, if Qi Mu whispered a word in Yang Ruoqian's ear, her project would probably be completely ruined.
The person who was being bossed around by me just a few hours ago can now decide my life and death at will.
The most important thing is that this contradiction is even difficult to reconcile.
A lower-level person in charge might be moved with cigarettes, alcohol, and money, and a big boss like Yang Ruoqian might be moved with a contract with greater concessions... But Qi Mu, what could he use to move her? This accident was too big, too big to be expected.
It’s all over…
All the hard work of these days is probably wasted...
If it were Manager Dong, she would definitely not miss this opportunity for revenge.
Although Manager Dong is a big leader, if he dares to mess up this order, he will definitely suffer the consequences.
Everyone in the company is counting on this order to survive!
Not only Manager Dong, but even the few people who came with Manager Dong were so shocked when they saw Qi Mushi that they couldn't move.
The colleague they knew before suddenly became a big shot who could decide their life or death?! Except for the best friend who had already told them about it and was a little calm...
Yang Ruoqian looked at Manager Dong's empty hands and frowned even more deeply, but due to his status, he still waved his hand gracefully: "Sit down, don't crowd at the door."
What's wrong with this person?
What happened to Shao Yiqi? Did he lie about military intelligence? Didn't he say last time that he could get many valuable gifts by treating her to a meal? Why did he come empty-handed this time? Is it because Yang Ruoqian's status is not as good as Shao Yiqi's? Why did Shao Yiqi treat everyone to a meal with all kinds of gifts, but when it was his turn as the boss of the group, he played with nothing? That's it? Which leader can't stand such a test! My buddy treated you to a good meal, but you didn't even bring a pair of chopsticks. It's too unrefined.
Yang Ruoqian secretly gave Manager Dong a low score in his heart for not knowing the rules.
Manager Dong couldn't stop his limbs from shaking, and subconsciously chose a seat farthest away from Qi Mu to sit down. During this time, he looked at Qi Mu more than once, hoping that she would not say too many bad things about herself to Yang Ruoqian.
It's so embarrassing.
"Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang... I'm really sorry about what happened last time. It was our fault for being short-sighted and not knowing the rules. Please..."
"Okay, let's eat." Yang Ruoqian glanced at Shang Qianyu, who was already swallowing his saliva. He was even less interested in listening to Manager Dong's nonsense. "Let's talk about it after we eat."
When Manager Dong saw Yang Ruoqian's attitude, he felt even more desperate and had no appetite at all.
It's obvious that you're not welcome.
But she had to give face to the big boss, so she could only give the others a few looks and ask them to help the leader turn the table.
Yang Ruoqian came here just to eat and drink at public expense, so he didn't feel any psychological pressure at all. He reached out to pick up some food and put it into the bowl, first trying a steamed shrimp.
The food is good, but the cooking techniques and details are not as good as those in my own restaurant...
It seems that the reason why it became the preferred restaurant for business gatherings in Jinhai City in such a short time was not entirely because of Chengyu's favor.
After eating for a few minutes, Yang Ruoqian wiped his hands and asked, "What's the problem with our previous order? Tell me. I've been busy with other business recently and don't know much about it."
Finally, it's time to get down to business! After a few minutes of agony, Manager Dong felt relieved and gave the person next to him a look, asking her to quickly take the contract over.
"Boss Yang, we were indeed careless last time. We are really sorry... Our company has issued a rectification plan overnight. Do you think it is appropriate?"
Qi Mu ignored his best friend's blink, took the contract from her hand and quickly looked through it.
The sound of the papers flipping was not loud, but it was extremely harsh to Manager Dong's ears.
Yang Ruoqian didn't even read the contents of the contract and left it all to Qi Mu to handle... I guess this time it's really dangerous.
A few minutes later, Qi Mu said to Yang Ruoqian in a very low voice: "Boss Yang, to put it simply, this contract has a lower price and better quality, and all the previous batches with problems will be returned to the factory for repair within a limited time, which will basically not affect the filming progress of the movie."
Yang Ruoqian nodded nonchalantly: "What do you think?"
Not only did he come back empty-handed, but he also arbitrarily changed the contract terms and asked for a lower price... Yang Ruoqian's impression of Manager Dong became even worse.
Qi Mu knew Dongyu Company very well. She answered without even thinking, "It's a relatively sincere contract, but there's still a little room for bargaining."
As a professional secretary assistant, Qi Mu would never do such a thing as taking revenge on personal grudges or speaking ill of Manager Dong in Yang Ruoqian's ear.
In public, personal emotions should not be brought into the judgment of company projects.
Personally, Manager Dong is not worthy of the job at Kuiguang Group. Why would he take the risk to seek revenge? Yang Ruoqian listened to Qi Mu's suggestion and slowed down his movements.
He didn't want to give Dongyu Company money for nothing, but he also didn't want to really accept this contract with a lower cost...
We have to think of a way to have the best of both worlds.
On the other side, Manager Dong saw that after Qi Mu finished speaking, Yang Ruoqian's face suddenly turned unclear and his heartbeat almost slowed down.
Oh no, I was retaliated! (End of this chapter)
