Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 568 A chance encounter at a reception
I smiled contemptuously, and prepared to find another car to leave.

The car came, and that man got excited again, and he wanted to come up and stop me again. I was really a little angry, and I was thinking about whether to do it or not.

A Lincoln car stopped in front of me, the window was rolled down, Dongfang Miracle showed his head, and said sternly to the man, "Do you know me?"

When the man saw it, his face changed and he said, "President Dongfang, why are you here?"

Dongfang Miracle didn't answer his question, and asked again: "Then do you know who he is?"

The man froze for a moment.

Dongfang Miracle ignored him, and said to me: "Get in the car, I'll see you off, or both of us will be late."

I groaned and got into his car.

He said to the man again: "You go to the human resources department to resign next week, you really should know who should be offended and who should not be offended!"

After speaking, the car left.

I went back to the hotel, changed my clothes, and went downstairs to drive my own car to the reception. I didn't want to see the magical car of the East, and it was still parked there, watching me get off, and waving to me in the car.

I got into his car and asked, "Are you waiting for me here? You really don't have to do this. I will consider your suggestion both in business and in private, sincerely."

Dongfang Miracle smiled and said: "Do you really think I'm flattering you? At our level, how can such superficial skills be useful? I just delayed your time, and I should have waited for you. Besides, I didn't know you at the reception." Who, it's always good to have company with you, you don't mind, do you?"

I smiled and said, "How could it be? I am the least afraid of being favored by others. I have a thick skin!"

When the car arrived at the scene, someone opened the door for us. The scene of this reception is no smaller than the awards ceremony. The red carpet is laid on the floor, and the aisle is blocked by fences. Reporters and fans surround the aisle. .

I don't know when it started, the public's attention began to pay attention to celebrity entrepreneurs, I always thought that they were only interested in fashion and celebrities.

When Dongfang Miracle and I walked the red carpet, I was very guilty. I always felt that I didn't belong here, and I didn't have the qualifications to walk the red carpet.Or others think the carpet is too short, but I just want to finish it as quickly as possible, if possible, I want to run over.

After entering the door, I breathed a sigh of relief, and I asked Dongfang Miracle in a low voice: "What do you think the most words these reporters would say when we just walked through the red carpet?"

Dongfang Miracle smiled and said, "Who are these two bastards?"

I smiled knowingly.

The layout inside is extremely simple, just like a small cocktail party.

I saw people in twos and threes getting together, talking enthusiastically about something.

I looked for Mr. Dong in the crowd, but I saw Gu Cheng instead of Mr. Dong.

Gu Cheng smiled at me, then waved. He didn't know whether he was calling me or the Oriental Miracle beside me.

The two of us looked at each other and walked over in unison.

Next to Gu Cheng was a middle-aged man with a height of 1.8 meters. His handsome face gave people a feeling of calm and prestige.He was also looking around, as if looking for someone.

Seeing Dongfang and I walking past, he withdrew his gaze and looked at me kindly.

Gu Cheng introduced: "This is Hu Junsheng, the chairman of our Zhongjing Group, and this is Chen Fei, the general manager of Wanzhong. I don't need to introduce this?"

Hu Junsheng nodded to me and said, "I've known you for a long time, Mr. Chen doesn't look very old, and the rumored appearance is different!"

I smiled and said: "It should be because I have admired your name for a long time, right? It is not easy to see a living person today! I don't know, what do I look like in the rumors?"

Hu Junsheng pointed at me as if pointing to the juniors, and said, "You are indeed very interesting. It is rumored that you are very rich in the city and old-fashioned. You shouldn't be so young, right?"

I smiled and said, "I thought you were praising me? I don't think you are the same as the one in the legend?"

Hu Junsheng asked, "Why is it different?"

I smiled and said, "In the legend, you are young, not only young but also promising. Now that I have met the real person, you are younger than I imagined. If no one introduced you, I would have thought you were a fresh graduate!"

Hu Junsheng laughed loudly and said, "Are you exaggerating a bit? I am older than your Dong Zong by how many years! Why haven't you seen your Dong Zong?"

I casually glanced around and said, "I guess I'll be there in a while, I'm impatient, I want to meet you big shots as soon as possible, what's the difference between you and us ordinary people, don't they all have three heads and six arms!"

Hu Junsheng asked with a smile: "What about after seeing it?"

I hesitated for a while and said: "They all have one nose and one mouth, nothing special, but in terms of temperament, you all won. People have been in high positions for a long time, and there is indeed a feeling of being the best in the world. "

Hu Junsheng pointed at me again, and said: "I know how to photograph horses, and the photographs are pretty good. I see an acquaintance, you can chat first." After speaking, he walked away with his wine glass.

He didn't communicate with Dongfang at all. He didn't know if it was on purpose, or he didn't take Dongfang seriously at all.

Dongfang Miracle is not angry on the surface, but based on what I know about him, how could such an arrogant person be able to bear such anger.

Sure enough, as I expected, his anger was all on Gu Cheng.

Dongfang Miracle said: "Mr. Gu, you came early today? I thought you wouldn't come to such a reception?"

Gu Cheng asked strangely: "Why didn't I come?"

Dongfang Miracle snorted and said, "Aren't you the most opposed to these boring, unconstructive social interactions? In your words, it's a waste of time."

Gu Cheng said with a little embarrassment: "It's not that Mr. Hu asked me to come. I really don't like this kind of occasion, but since you can come, I think it's okay for me to come!"

Dongfang Miracle said displeased: "Do you think you are more famous than your status? You may not be able to go to the status I can go to. In public, don't show your face and let outsiders see jokes!"

Gu Cheng grumbled and said, "I let you finish all the words, who said the bones? You don't regard me as your own, or you think you are an outsider!"

I couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "That's not enough. In front of me as an outsider, you all quarreled like this. If you work together, you don't have to fight? You are all gentlemen, why are you like old ladies who are fighting for favor? Interesting ?"

As soon as the words were finished, the two of them kept talking to me and said, "You are just like an old woman!"

I rolled my eyes and walked away.

I turned around and found that everyone I know them, they don't know me, I guess I should be the person with the lowest rank and position in this reception, almost a transparent person, I suddenly felt that Dongfang and Gu Cheng might be The only person I know at this party.

And I found that everyone is standing with a glass of wine, aren't they tired?
I am a person who can sit and never stand, and I can lie down and never sit, just one word "lazy".

I looked around, but couldn't find any place to sit, so I pushed open the door of the roof and went out to enjoy the beautiful night view of Shanghai by myself.

"Fade Chen, long time no see!" A familiar voice said.

I turned my head and saw Du Shiyang, she had lost a lot of weight, her face was thin, she was wearing a dark purple lace dress, her hair was coiled up, and two curved streams were hanging down her ears, she was still as beautiful.

"Yeah, long time no see, you've lost weight!" I said softly.

Du Shiyang smiled slightly and said, "Everyone is losing weight, and so am I."

Then there was a moment of silence together.

To open up the topic, I asked, "Why didn't you win the award this time? You shouldn't!"

Du Shiyang replied with a little emotion: "The country now strictly controls real estate funds, banks do not lend money, and we rely entirely on our own funds to roll over. The few new lands invested last year are not dared to open at all now. The real estate market is not as hot as it was a few years ago. Yes, the performance has naturally dropped a lot. Since I took office, the company's performance has been declining. How can I be awarded an award? Besides, the winners are all top-notch people. When will it be my turn? Give me a nomination , just to save my father's face."

I nodded and said: "I have also paid attention to real estate recently. The rigid demand in first-tier and second-tier cities is close to saturation. Although the rigid demand in third-tier and fourth-tier cities is not saturated, but the consumption power is insufficient, your real estate prices are high, which is not conducive to sales. , coupled with the strict control of the state and the slow return of funds, your life is not easy."

Du Shiyang stared at me and said approvingly: "You can see the problem, and you can hit the nail on the head. This is indeed the biggest problem we have encountered right now. Is there any coup to help me?"

I thought for a while and said, "You don't know me yet, and you only know a little about everything. How can I know these things? It's all nonsense."

Du Shiyang smiled lightly, and asked: "So what you said is all nonsense?"

I hurriedly defended: "No, I said it more modestly just now, you really take it seriously!"

Du Shiyang finally showed his original smile and said: "Looking at you dressed so formally and sitting here silently, I thought you had matured a lot, but now it looks like you are still the same!"

I smiled and said, "I'm so mature that I'm dying."

Du Shiyang showed a bright smile, and said happily: "It's interesting to talk to you. How are you and Sheng Nan? When will we tie the knot?"

I said with a smile: "There is such a large forest outside, why did you hang yourself on a tree with a crooked neck?"

Du Shiyang said solemnly: "Do you have many crooked neck trees outside now? I've already talked to Sheng Nan about your words!"

I hurriedly said: "Don't betray me, I'm joking! What about you? How are you? Are you still alone?"

Du Shiyang looked at me with a look on his face and said: "I didn't find a suitable one. There was a good one at first, but later they didn't want me."

I groaned and said, "That's because he's too blind. I don't want such a good girl!"

Du Shiyang glared at me, and asked back: "It's so good, you don't want it either!"

I was speechless and didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, I heard a few knocks on the glass in the hall, and the hall was quiet.

I asked Du Shiyang inquiringly, "Go in and have a look?"

Du Shiyang nodded.

Walking in, a middle-aged man stood on the stage, holding a wine glass, and said: "Everyone be quiet, let me say a few words first, today is a rare event, I have a suggestion, that is, today's winners Let’s say a few words on stage, and perform a small show, how about everyone watching?”

I asked Du Shiyang curiously: "Who is this? With such a big face, can he listen to his suggestion?"

Du Shiyang replied in a low voice: "You don't even know him? Wu Guohua, this is the founder of our business school. He is now the chairman of Guohua Credit Investment Fund. He controls as much money as a bank. Who dares not to sell his face, many of the people who come here to accept the award are here to see his face, otherwise, who would want to come for such a show of limelight!"

I sighed and said, "It's really a different realm. I'm still glad that I can come to such a grand event. People can't hide in time."

Du Shiyang said in a low voice: "This is normal. People want to go to high places, but high places are very cold. When you get to their place, you will know that the biggest risk is to make yourself too famous and become a figure of public attention. This is actually similar to those celebrities. There are disadvantages and advantages. If you want to be famous, you must have a certain exposure rate, but if your exposure rate is too high, you will have no privacy, and everything about you will be monitored. Small mistakes will be infinitely magnified by people, and they all complement each other."

I hummed.

At this time, Wu Guohua first invited the first winner to come on stage. This person, who was unattractive in appearance but with extraordinary temperament, said a few simple words after he came to the stage: "Since Mr. Wu has called, I will first throw bricks to attract jade. In fact, such a grand event Very good, everyone has a chance to get together once a year. There are many old friends of mine here. We are usually busy and we don’t have much chance to meet. Winning the award is secondary. Of course, it does not mean that the award has no weight. What I mean is Let's communicate more and exchange management experience. I really don't know how to do shows or something. Mr. Wu knows me. I usually like to drink two cups. If I can't sing or dance, I'll just perform Just drink up the glass of wine in one gulp." After finishing speaking, he picked up a glass of red wine and drank it in one gulp, everyone applauded and couldn't say anything more.

Wu Guohua took the microphone and said with a smile: "He is cheating, a glass of red wine is just a show, how about this, our business school has now selected a piece of land in Zhejiang, and plans to build a college of our own. You are the first Students, you can take the lead and donate some money, this is a self-raised and self-constructed project, and we are very short of money now, you have to express it?"

The man smiled and nodded and said: "Mr. Wu, you are forcing a donation, but it should be, so I donate a gymnasium?"

Wu Guohua smiled and said, "Cheer up!"
