High point

"Mr. Huo, I... don't know where to start. "

"It's ok."

"Actually, it's not a big deal... I don't know..."

"Anyone will have a down time. Don't think too negatively..."

"Sometimes I wonder if what I've been holding on to is true or right..."

"It depends on the subjective and objective conditions around you when you make a choice..."

If you happened to hear the above conversation, you would probably immediately conclude that someone is consulting a therapist.

The truth is: no, of course not.

Looking around, the office with floor-to-ceiling windows is bright, and there are crowds of people like ants below. The feeling of overlooking all living beings is still so subtle.The decoration is elegant and simple, a not-so-small solid wood table, a desktop computer with a particularly large screen, and some documents on it, but none of them have been reviewed at the moment.They just sit quietly on one side of the table, but judging from the thickness, it can show how busy the owner of this office is.Next to the document, there are several exquisitely printed and gorgeous invitations, either an invitation to a flagship launch party of an international famous brand, or an invitation to a large financial forum, or a private collection appreciation meeting held by a certain tycoon.Next to it is a pen holder, which is made of plum celadon, exquisite and beautiful. Inside is a letter opener with a jade handle and a few gold pens.There is a business card holder next to it, which contains a row of business cards, roughly thousands of them.

No matter how you look at it, this is not a psychiatrist's consulting room.

But at the moment the owner of the office is not sitting on the leather boss chair, so what about the two people just now?

They're all sitting on the sofa.

Mr. Huo's real name is Huo Siwei, the chairman of a well-known consulting company.In fact, this is just one of his identities. There is also a group involved in multiple investments behind him. The "always growing" advertisement a few days ago was broadcast by their group.But Su Ling probably didn't know about it. Half a month ago, his company encountered some troubles. At a business reception, a friend introduced him to Huo Siwei, and Huo Boss offered to help him with this case.

Of course, Su Ling has heard of this consulting company. In the past few years, it has become a new force in the domestic consulting industry. The frequency of advertisements is not high, but it has accumulated a good reputation in a short period of time and established an efficient and professional image.

Su Ling's company is not a big company, but its scale is acceptable, and it has a certain reputation in the industry. By coincidence, it happened to meet Mr. Huo at the most difficult time. He naturally cherishes this opportunity very much.

Su Ling is a businessman, so he is naturally familiar with the business rules. He thought that Mr. Huo would leave this case to his subordinates, but he didn't expect that Mr. Huo himself made the phone call after a few days, and the person he met turned out to be himself.

But Mr. Huo asked him to go there for the first time, without asking a word about the company, let alone asking about the price. He just asked him to talk about the history and feelings of starting a business in the past few years.

Su Ling was a little surprised, and immediately followed Huo Siwei's request. I don't know why, although this President Huo doesn't talk much, he always gives people a reliable feeling.

For the first time in so many years, he recalled his journey systematically.

"I majored in computer software in college. When I was in college, I met a former student of our class teacher, and then I came up with the idea of ​​starting my own business. His family was in logistics, and he was quite rich. He had a lot of money, so he wanted to find Personally help him make money bigger and bigger. I have always wanted to start a business, and I have also thought about the financial problem, but I didn’t expect it to be solved so quickly. Then I partnered with him to open a software company, specializing in designing systems and software according to customer needs... ..."

"At the beginning, I helped a company design a travel outsourcing system. At that time, it was still a blue ocean. Our system can be said to have made up for the gap to a certain extent... That project was relatively successful. In addition, we have been investing money in the later stage. Improvement, also applied for a patent, the company slowly started..."

Talking about the project, Su Ling was still impressed. The project had just been received and people were recruited, but there were some changes in the partner's family. There was no follow-up funds for Su Ling. Su Ling asked the family for a sum of money. I borrowed some from my friends, gritted my teeth and started to make it. The bitterness in the middle is really unknown to outsiders.

Mr. Huo listened beside him without saying anything.When the secretary called to ask Mr. Huo if he wanted to order food, Su Ling realized that the time passed quickly and it was already noon.

Su Ling doesn't think he's a talker. The biggest characteristic of a technical manager like him is that he doesn't like to boast. He didn't expect to say so much in front of Mr. Huo today.

Mr. Huo picked up his coat: "Go outside and eat, it won't taste so good when it's delivered."

Su Ling nodded.There was a time when he was almost a box lunch every day, so he really didn't have particularly high requirements for what he ate.

Walking downstairs, Mr. Huo said, "I'm going to get the car, can you wait for me here?"

Su Ling originally wanted to drive by himself, but Huo Boss was faster than him, but it didn't matter, it just felt like he was bothering others once.

Mr. Huo's Audi drove out quickly, and Su Ling got into the car.

"Su Ling, I need to take care of some things this afternoon. Come over again at the same time next week, and I'll see if I can help you." Mr. Huo said while driving.

Su Ling nodded: "Okay." Although he is right now that he is very anxious, but this kind of thing really can't be anxious. If you want to ask others, you can only follow the pace of others.

Mr. Huo said again: "Don't worry, I believe the problem can be solved."

In fact, if Mr. Huo's voice wasn't so pleasant, Su Ling would have felt that this was too clichéd. He didn't like others to make promises easily in front of him—before any actual action was taken.

But why doesn't what Mr. Huo said seem like frivolous perfunctory?

Su Ling heard herself reply: "Thank you...you, Mr. Huo."

You shrank back when he blurted out, Mr. Huo treated him very much as a friend, at least at the beginning, he didn't have any airs at all, he felt that if he insisted on talking about you, it might be too blunt.Mr. Huo really has the feeling of an elder, maybe he is very stable, but he looks like he is in his prime - Su Ling guessed with his own eyesight that he must be only in his 30s.

How old is Su Ling?Hehe, in fact, he always tends to speak louder about himself.

Because I skipped a few grades in elementary school and started my own business after graduating from university, it really didn’t take me long. I’m only 28 years old this year.However, he usually tells others that he is 30 years old, but when Mr. Huo asked about his age, he still told the truth very honestly.

Mr. Huo feels that lying in front of him is a bit ridiculous.

Those penetrating eyes, although not very harsh on people, but under his gaze, there is always a feeling of subordinates or juniors - simply put, there is pressure.

Mr. Huo speaks at a moderate speed, even a bit slow, coupled with his deep cello-like voice, it really has a shocking effect.

But so far, Su Ling feels that getting along with Mr. Huo is really more pleasant. At least he can transform the pressure in front of him into a kind of kind feeling. He has an intuition that he can trust this man.

I ate lunch at a place that Su Ling had never been to. It was located in a hidden courtyard, but the decoration inside was very European, and it looked contradictory.There are not many people, and the seats are arranged so that they will not be affected by each other.

Mr. Huo gave a card to the waiter when he entered the door. When he walked in, Su Ling glanced casually. It seemed that he saw a certain hostess who often appeared on TV at the window on the west side. Therefore, Su Ling guessed that this should be the direct waiting part. place for crowds.

Judging from the menu, the dishes here are authentic Chinese dishes with Western improvements, which is an interesting restaurant.

Mr. Huo quickly ordered the list with familiarity, and Su Ling also picked out something that seemed to suit his appetite.

Although Su Ling doesn't pay much attention to where to eat, he is a picky eater.

He doesn't like to eat many things, but he is used to socializing outside. He doesn't say anything if he likes it or not. He eats more when he likes it, and eats less if he doesn't like it. It's that simple.

Mr. Huo said: "I can't think of a particularly delicious place at the moment, so I can only bring you here. If it doesn't taste good, we will change the place next time."

Su Ling said: "Mr. Huo, you are being polite." In his opinion, such words are completely polite, although Mr. Huo said a little more sincerity, it is only on the surface.Su Ling's family is good. Some seniors in the university praised him as having seen "a lot of world". Although Su Ling didn't know what this so-called world meant, but because he went out to eat with his father when he was young, he met a lot of successful people. , he discovered a characteristic: the richer people tend to be more low-key and simple, and the more prestigious people often don't talk much, but they speak loudly when they speak.

A person like Mr. Huo doesn't talk much but has a generous attitude. He always considers others more when doing things. At first glance, he looks like the kind of man who has received a good education along the way and a successful career has broadened his horizons.Su Ling recalled that his father had said before that there was a kind of person who "does what he does naturally", and felt that Mr. Huo deserved it, at least from what he knew so far.

Mr. Huo glanced at him, then smiled.

The sunlight outside is good, coming in through the glass, but not glaring at all; the surroundings are quite quiet, it seems that under the warm streamer, all small sounds have become decorative decorations, there are intermittent birdsong outside, and the sky can be seen blue corner.Su Ling felt very relaxed, as if he was not in a strange restaurant now, but in his own home, in the courtyard of his childhood, that kind of cozy and lazy feeling had indeed been absent for a long time.

Even in all these years, it has seldom felt so leisurely.I don't know if it's because of this extremely comfortable environment, or because I've poured out some things that I've accumulated in my heart for many years this morning... Yes, talk, Su Ling didn't expect that he would have no reservations, at least when he said When he said something, he was sure he had no reservations.

Is it because of him?Su Ling withdrew his eyes and looked at the man opposite.

—and looked right into his eyes all of a sudden.

Perhaps because of the light, the other party also seemed to be shrouded in that faint gold border, and his eyes also seemed to be shining.

Su Ling smiled and said, "It's rare today, the sun is so good."

Then he heard President Huo's quiet voice: "As long as you like it."

What a perfect lunch.

On the way, Su Ling took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and wanted to pay the bill. Su Ling was familiar with this kind of thing, but was told by the waiter that cash was never accepted here. Su Ling was stunned: "Then what about credit card?"

The waiter said: "I'm sorry, sir, Mr. Huo has given us the card just now, so you don't have to worry. We implement a membership system here, and you can enjoy delicious food after paying enough annual fees for a year."

Su Ling was a little disappointed and said, "Alright then."

Didn't President Huo invite you to this meal?Su Ling didn't care about money, it just made him feel a little rude.

Neither of them spoke. After finishing their lunch quietly, the waiter brought out an after-dinner green tea cake. Su Ling was always indifferent to sweets, but Mr. Huo moved the plate over to him: "Try it, it won't be sweet. greasy."

Su Ling didn't want to please him, so he could only fiddle with the silver fork and put it in his mouth. The faint green tea fragrance was just right, and the sweetness was just right, adding a touch of elegance to the aftertaste.Su Ling nodded, expressing that it was indeed good, so he ate another piece.

Mr. Huo called the waiter: "Pack another one for me."

The waiter said: "Okay, Mr. Huo, please wait a moment."

Mr. Huo said: "Take a copy home, you can refresh yourself in the afternoon."

It took Su Ling a while to realize that this thing was for him. He felt a little embarrassed and...he couldn't explain it himself. It might be the first time he was taken care of like this. He really felt a little uncomfortable. too adaptable.But Mr. Huo did it so naturally, so naturally Su Ling didn't have time to refuse.

He said to himself in his heart: Mr. Huo is really not a simple person.
