Chapter 5 Anytime
After scanning the code, Xu Mo discovered that she had already added Lin Jingchuan’s WeChat.
When I clicked on the friend’s profile, the system showed that the time of addition was five years ago.
That was when Xu Mo was still in college.
Xu Mo couldn't quite remember how she added Lin Jingchuan on WeChat, but after all, they were from the same school, so it was normal for them to have some interactions.
Lin Jingchuan's portrait shows the vast scenery after climbing the mountain.
He has no circle of friends.
No wonder she never noticed the existence of this big guy in her circle of friends.
Even though the two of them were already good friends, after the meeting, Xu Mo still politely greeted Lin Jingchuan:
[Hello Mr. Lin, I'm Xu Mo. If you have any questions, you can contact me directly~~]
Lin Jingchuan did not reply.
Xu Mo was used to it. She had been working in consulting for four years and had met dozens of executives. Most of them would not reply to the meaningless greeting messages sent by a small fry like her. After all, their time was precious and needed to be spent on more valuable people and things.
At noon, Xu Mo made an appointment with Xu Shiying to have lunch.
Xu Shiying and she work in the same CBD, at the same subway station, but in different buildings.
Xu Mo works as a consulting consultant in a law firm, and Xu Shiying works in the back-office department of a securities company.
Xu Mo envied Xu Shiying for her easy job, which didn't require her to travel. Xu Shiying, on the other hand, felt that while her job wasn't stressful, it also offered little room for advancement, with a foreseeable end. Even if Xu Mo came, she might not stay.
As soon as Xu Shiying put down her bag, Xu Mo let out a long sigh.
The waiter had just served the soup, a mixture of sea coconut, figs and lean meat, which was sweet and delicious. As Xu Mo ladled the soup for Xu Shiying, she recounted what had happened today.
"So you took on a new project so quickly and are the person in charge?"
"Yeah." Xu Mo nodded dejectedly.
Xu Shiying took the soup she offered her: "Well, there's nothing we can do. Think about it, your boss has work to do and no one is doing it, and then you happen to be hanging around in front of her with nothing to do, then you will definitely be drafted. How can a boss like to see people under her idle?"
Xu Mo rested her chin on one hand in frustration. "I have no objection to working, but give me a better job. This project is quite difficult, and the people on the client's side don't seem easy to fool."
Xu Shiying raised an eyebrow: "Have you met Party A?"
"Yeah." Xu Mo said, "It's our senior, Lin Jingchuan. Do you remember him?"
Xu Shiying thought for two seconds and let out a long "oh".
"I have an impression... He seems quite handsome." Xu Shiying winked at her, "You are single now, why not develop a relationship..."
Xu Mo thought of Lin Jingchuan's gentle and refined manner today, but with a hidden knife in his words, and shook her head seriously: "In our line of work, the most taboo is to fall in love with a customer."
Xu Shiying knew that she said this because she had not yet gotten over her relationship with Zhao Tingyu.
How can you let go of an eight-year relationship?
Xu Shiying changed the subject: "Hey, when do you start your business trip? If you're not on a business trip this weekend, let's go out and take pictures!"
Xu Mo hesitated for a while. After all, it seemed like she hadn't gone out to take pictures for a long time.
Xu Shiying picked up a piece of barbecued pork for her and said, "Go ahead. It's been so long since you posted on WeChat Moments. We finally broke up, so you should show off your new spirit!"
Xu Mo agreed: "Okay."
"Mr. Lin, this is the sales report for the South China region this month." Secretary Zhang handed the paper document to Lin Jingchuan.
Lin Jingchuan took it, flipped it open and looked at it for a while: "Why did sales drop so much this month?"
Secretary Zhang shook his head and said, "There was a typhoon along the coast of South China. Our clients suffered heavy losses. Some farmers even lost all their fish and shrimp."
All the fish and shrimps of the farmers died, so naturally no one bought feed and animal health insurance.
The phone vibrated, and Lin Jingchuan glanced at Xu Mo's name that flashed across the screen.
He retracted his gaze, raised his eyes, and said to Secretary Zhang, "Inform the general managers of all factories that we need to provide financial support to those farmers who have abandoned their animals due to natural disasters. We can consider providing some interest-free loans to help them get out of this as soon as possible."
Secretary Zhang nodded: "Okay, Mr. Lin."
"By the way, Mr. Lin," Secretary Zhang said, "the chairman's secretary informed me that you'll have a meeting with the chairman in two hours to discuss the group management improvement project that we're about to launch with the consulting firm."
"good."
Lin Jingchuan nodded. Secretary Zhang saw that he didn't say anything else, so he said hello and left the office.
After Secretary Zhang closed the door, Lin Jingchuan picked up his cell phone.
Now everyone uses WeChat for work, and most people will contact him through WeChat for work.
He is usually very busy and doesn't reply to private WeChat messages frequently.
Generally, we wait until lunch time or dinner time to process them together.
Lin Jingchuan clicked on the new message notification and was automatically redirected to the dialog box with Xu Mo.
[Hello Mr. Lin, I'm Xu Mo. If you have any questions, you can contact me directly~~]
Lin Jingchuan raised his eyebrows, imagining what she would look like when she typed these words.
Will people complain that he is a difficult client?
After all, during today's communication meeting with Manager Wu, he did not appear to be a friendly and easy-going person.
After thinking for a while, Lin Jingchuan replied:
【Okay, if you have any questions, you can communicate with me directly. 】
Xu Mo came back soon.
【OK.jpg】
Lin Jingchuan smiled and put his phone back on the table.
He looked at the CBD street view outside the floor-to-ceiling window and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xu Mo was a little surprised to receive a reply from Lin Jingchuan.
His reply was long and polite.
In her four years of work, Xu Mo has come into contact with many male clients, each with his own characteristics.
Or he would send her a bunch of documents, ask her to study, and give her guidance in a fatherly manner.
Or they would post some ambiguous and lascivious messages with a bald head.
It is normal for customers to be indifferent and not respond.
This led her to a deeper understanding of the diversity of species in this world.
Xu Mo comforted herself that no matter what the project itself was like, at least the contact person was normal.
She replied with an emoji and ended the business.
Putting down her phone, Xu Mo went to the restroom. When she returned to her workstation, she suddenly noticed a missed call on her screen.
Caller ID: Zhao Tingyu.
Xu Mo pursed her lips and was thinking about whether to call back when the other party called again.
Xu Mo took a deep breath, went to the fire escape with her phone, and swiped the screen.
Zhao Tingyu's voice came: "Xu Mo."
"Hmm?" Xu Mo sniffed. "What's wrong?"
Zhao Tingyu asked: "Did you block me?"
His voice still held a hint of coldness.
His usual cold voice made Xu Mo's voice sound strangely bitter: "What do you want from me?"
Zhao Tingyu was silent for a moment: "You left something with me."
"What?"
"Some photos, and a Polaroid," Zhao Tingyu said. "If you remove me from the blacklist, I'll send them to you."
Xu Mo was stunned. She seemed not to have seen her Polaroid camera when she was packing her luggage.
Thinking about how she had just promised Xu Shiying at noon that she would go out to take photos with her on the weekend, and how Xu Shiying had also told her to bring a Polaroid camera, Xu Mo hesitated for a moment.
"Okay, when is it convenient for you? I'll come get it."
Zhao Tingyu raised his eyelids, and the corners of his lips, which had been pressed down, rose a little, finally becoming a straight line.
"Anytime," he said.
