The cold president's sweet pet is a cute little girl

The factory is small, with not many employees, and I'm very familiar with everyone. Who do you want to inquire about?"

Seeing that the other party got straight to the point, Nicole didn't dare to say any more nonsense and asked directly:

"I want to know about Qiao Mei's affairs at Huayun Manufacturing Plant. Do you know?"

Liu Xiaoyu was a little surprised when she heard that the person was asking about Qiao Mei.

Although Qiao Mei was very gentle to everyone back then, she always acted on her own.

I've never heard her say that she had any relatives, but she has passed away, and it would be a waste of time to explore these issues.

Liu Xiaoyu put aside all the random thoughts and said loudly:

"Then you've asked the right person. In Huayun Manufacturing Plant, how many people don't know Qiao Mei?

She was very pretty and all the unmarried men at that time, except that wooden guy, tried to show their courtesy to her.

When those married men saw Qiao Mei, their hearts were also moved and their eyes lit up.

And Qiao Mei was kind to everyone in the factory and never said a harsh word. "

Liu Xiaoyu felt a little thirsty when she got to this point. She went to the dining table and took a glass of water and drank it down before continuing:

"Do you know what I admire most about your sister?"

"what?"

Liu Xiaoyu said: "Your sister's strength lies in her ability to persuade a dullard to talk and communicate. Not everyone has this kind of patience."

"Who is that man?" Nicole asked, feeling that she had touched upon something crucial.

But Liu Xiaoyu is not a saint. She was kind-hearted and told everything she knew.

After she sensed Nicole's eagerness to know, her eyes rolled around, revealing a shrewd look.

“I’ll tell you who that man is, what good will you give me?

Nicole was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Since I took up the other person's time to ask questions, I should be compensated.

Nicole was also willing to pay the other party some compensation because the other party provided valuable information.

But Nicole was a little worried that the reward she offered would not satisfy the other party, so she hesitated and couldn't make up her mind.

If it weren't for Brother Wang discussing Liu Xiaoyu's strange temper just now, Nicole would have only given a few hundred or a thousand dollars.

But now she knew that the other party was a bit greedy, and she hesitated how to respond.

Fortunately, I did not mention that these clues were related to my sister's death before I told Sister Liu about the situation.

Otherwise, Liu Xiaoyu would see that I take it too seriously and would probably ask for too much.

The reasons you make up are optional. If the price is right, you can continue the discussion. If it is not, then terminate the discussion. This way you can take the initiative into your own hands.

The initiative must be in your own hands, and this requires a sense of balance.

If you are arrogant, you may end up losing more than you gain and make the other person feel disgusted.

If Nicole's attitude is too soft, the other party will seize her weakness and ask for an exorbitant price, causing her to lose the initiative and may not get what she wants.

It’s not that Nicole thought too badly of Liu Xiaoyu, but one should always be on guard against others.

What Brother Wang told me was a dangerous red line, forcing Nicole to be cautious in dealing with Liu Xiaoyu.

But in the blink of an eye, Nicole's mind was in a state of confusion.

Liu Xiaoyu waited for a while on the other end of the phone, but didn't hear Nicole's answer, and looked displeased.

The woman on the other end of the phone wouldn't want to ask in vain! If so, she would rather keep the matter about Qiao Mei to herself than let others get away with it.

Liu Xiaoyu thought so in her heart and said so: "Little girl, I won't tell you the situation for nothing if there is no reward."

Nicole couldn't reveal her vigilance, so she said modestly:

"Sister Liu, I was just thinking about how much compensation to give you. I have never been involved in these matters before. Sister Liu, your sudden question made me not know how to answer.

I was wondering if Sister Liu could give me a rough range, and if the price was right, I would continue asking. "

Liu Xiaoyu asked, "What if the reward is not appropriate?"

Nicole said: "Forget it if the price is not right, I will go ask other people.

After all, I am just a working class person with limited income. I cannot afford to pay a large sum of money to solve a dream whose truth or falsehood I do not know, so Sister Liu must give me an affordable compensation. "

Liu Xiaoyu didn't believe that someone who had spent so much energy on this matter would give up easily.

But she heard what Nicole said, and since she couldn't get any information from her, she went to look for someone else.

There were many people working in Huayun Manufacturing Factory back then, and there were several of them in my sister's building. If I asked for an exorbitant price when the other party had a choice, the deal might not be done.

Liu Xiaoyu didn't expect that a young girl could be so cunning and kick the ball back to her.

This decision made Liu Xiaoyu hesitate for a moment, and she was unsure how much compensation she should ask for.

If the price offered was too high, she would go and ask someone else.

Liu Xiaoyu didn't directly say how much she wanted to be paid because she thought the other party was young and easy to deceive.

Young people are very open-minded and thin-skinned. As long as things are not too extreme, they can tolerate them and will not be as fussy as middle-aged women.

It is very likely that the reward offered was beyond her expectations. Liu Xiaoyu had this in mind, so she did not tell Nicole how much the reward was.

But I didn't expect that the girl my sister introduced to me was so cunning. She didn't ask for the remuneration herself, but asked me to propose the remuneration and also set conditions for her.

Liu Xiaoyu put the fruit plate in her hand on the table, frowned, and they both fell into silence.

Liu Xiaoyu's husband took a piece of apple and started to eat it. Seeing his wife holding the phone without saying anything, he complained:

"You should turn off your phone when you are not answering calls. Leaving the call screen open not only wastes phone bills and electricity, but also wears out the phone's electronic components.

I've only used this phone for three years and it's already shut down once. You have to take good care of it."

After hearing what her husband said, Liu Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him and whispered:

"I know this better than you. A cell phone is so expensive, and I feel even more sad when it breaks.

Isn't this a difficult situation? I was afraid that if I hung up the phone, the girl on the other end would go ask someone else.

When Liu Xiaoyu's husband heard what his wife said, he looked at her as if she were an idiot.

Said: "Why don't you discuss it with this girl and ask her to call you later?

This not only saves on phone bills, but also allows you to think things through to avoid being at a disadvantage.

I just heard you and your sister talking on the phone, saying that the girl was at her house. If the girl was trying to get information, how could she leave so easily? "

When her husband said this, Liu Xiaoyu suddenly understood. She picked up her phone and said to Nicole:

"Ms. Nicole, I have something to do suddenly. Please wait a while before talking to me about this matter. It won't take more than a few minutes. Please call me again in seven or eight minutes!"

After Liu Xiaoyu said this, she hung up the phone forcefully, leaving Nicole on the other end of the line with no time to refuse before she heard a dead tone coming from the phone.

Nicole frowned slightly, feeling that Liu Xiaoyu's statement that she hung up the phone and said she had something to do was false.

Combined with what she knew about Liu Xiaoyu's personality, Nicole came to a general conclusion in her mind.

If she gave Liu Xiaoyu some time to think about the reward, she would have more initiative, especially since Liu Xiaoyu asked her to make the call on her own initiative, which she could not do no matter what.

Nicole had a hunch that if she took the initiative to call Liu Xiaoyu, it meant that she was eager to know the news, and perhaps the fact that Liu Xiaoyu hung up the phone was itself a test.

Nicole was testing how much she cared about the news. Although Liu Xiaoyu's hanging up the phone put her in a dilemma, she could not be led by Liu Xiaoyu and lose the initiative.

Nicole turned her gaze to Liu Xiaoyu's sister, Sister Liu, perhaps she could find a breakthrough from Sister Liu.

Liu Xiaoyu was able to give her dirty clothes for a month to be washed by Sister Liu, which showed that she could not escape Sister Liu's doting on her younger sister.

As for why Nicole made this judgment, she was just making speculations based on common sense.

If an adult wants to reject his sister's unreasonable demands, there are countless ways to do it, and these situations can be resolved even if the sister throws a tantrum.

For example, calling the police, swearing, severing ties, not letting the person in, etc.

But Sister Liu did not take any measures to stop her sister from throwing tantrums. Instead, she resigned herself to washing the dirty clothes that her sister brought to her every month. Isn't this another way of pampering her?

If his judgment was correct, the easiest thing to do would be to start with Sister Liu. Sister Liu was sympathetic to her younger sister, so she would naturally tell her younger sister Liu Xiaoyu about her situation.

After Nicole handed the phone to Sister Liu, she said with a disappointed look on her face: "Sister Liu, Sister Liu just hung up on me, saying that she was busy. I am also very busy, so I will not bother Sister Liu any more.

Thinking that Huayun Manufacturing Factory had dozens of workers back then, I should be able to get some information. While it was still early, I said goodbye and went to ask other residents about their situation.

As Nicole spoke, she stood up from the sofa and prepared to leave.

Sister Liu had just taken the phone and hadn't asked Nicole how the conversation with her sister went and whether Nicole got the news she wanted, but Nicole said she wanted to leave.

Sister Liu didn't dare let Nicole leave directly. Just now when she went to the kitchen to fetch water, she heard Nicole and her sister mention the word "reward". Sister Liu didn't need to think about it, she knew that her sister was taking advantage of Nicole.

If she let the person who exchanged the information for reward leave like this, her resentful sister would be furious! Thinking of her sister crying, making a scene, and then hanging herself, Sister Liu trembled all over.

However, Sister Liu also felt a little resentful towards her younger sister. She failed to deliver at the critical moment and was rude and impolite to hang up the phone. She wondered if her younger sister was up to some evil idea again.

Although Sister Liu was resentful and had her own concerns, she could not let Nicole leave.

But she did not rush forward to stop Nicole, but advised kindly:

"It's a pity that you left after getting a clue with great difficulty. My sister had many acquaintances in Huayun Manufacturing Plant and she had the most comprehensive information. Other employees of Huayun could not match my sister's communication skills.

Please wait patiently for a moment! Xiaoyu will contact you after she finishes her work. "

Although Sister Liu said this to Nicole, she felt a little uneasy. She knew her sister's personality very well. She was a petty and extremely stingy person. If she asked her to call her, she would probably be stingy with her phone bill.

Even though Sister Liu knew everything clearly, she still wanted to help her sister keep Nicole, and she also told her sister about Nicole's attitude.

Sister Liu's conversation was exactly what Nicole wanted. Since someone was setting up the ladder, she naturally would not insist on leaving. Nicole was also afraid of making things worse.

She said with embarrassment: "In that case, I will wait patiently for a while. When Sister Liu finishes her work, she may call me."

Nicole never asked for Liu Xiaoyu's contact information during the whole process, as if she had forgotten about it.

As for Liu Xiaoyu, after hanging up the phone with Nicole, she told her husband the whole story and asked, "How much compensation do you think is appropriate for me?"

Liu Xiaoyu's husband was more savvy and asked Liu Xiaoyu: "How much do you know about Qiao Mei?"

Liu Xiaoyu said proudly: "I know everything about what happened to Qiao Mei at Huayun Manufacturing Plant, no matter if it was a trivial matter or other events."

Liu Xiaoyu's husband looked puzzled and said, "I remember that you knew a lot of people at Huayun Manufacturing Factory, but we didn't have a good relationship with each other. How come you know everything about Qiao Mei?"

Her husband's question made Liu Xiaoyu feel a little embarrassed, and her eyes showed nostalgia.

"Because Qiao Mei is the only girl in the factory who is very gentle to me. She didn't become distant with me because of my fussing, but always treated me the same way. I have lived to this age, and there are very few people I admire, and Qiao Mei is definitely one of them.

Besides, Qiao Mei was also very pretty. The men in the factory were eager to make a move on her, while the women were full of jealousy. However, Qiao Mei was not hurt by the jealousy and malicious exclusion of her female colleagues. Instead, she actively integrated into the group. In just one month, both the women and the men in the factory welcomed her with a smile. How could I not remember such a woman? "

When Liu Xiaoyu said this, her eyes showed regret. She had just talked to her sister on the phone and learned that the beautiful woman from that year had passed away. Liu Xiaoyu felt a little sad about the unpredictable nature of life.

When Liu Xiaoyu and her husband were asking for compensation, Sister Liu called.

The loud voice asked: "What are you busy with? You were on the phone with the girl and suddenly hung up. What tricks do you have?"

Liu Xiaoyu protested stubbornly: "I don't have any evil ideas, sister, I am your relative, how can you think of me like this."

Sister Liu took out an iced drink from the refrigerator and complained: "Come on! Everyone knows that you are my sister, and we all know what kind of personality you have. There is no need to cover up your shamelessness with a fig leaf. That would make me think you are possessed by a ghost."
