This parent is a bit cold

Chapter 23 What's the matter

On the weekend, the weather was sunny and the BenQ shopping mall was full of traffic and crowds.After parking the car, Ji Ming and Gu Ruoqing did not rush straight to the top floor, but went back to the first floor from the sky parking lot, and took the escalator up one level at a time.

They arrived an hour early and walked around the mall for a long time, not for shopping, but for Gu Ruoqing to enhance the impression of each moving line and public area.

As the sunset glowed in the west, a halo hit the floor-to-ceiling glass, reflecting Cheng Siyan's side face, which was beautiful and moving.She likes to smoke electronic cigarettes when meeting guests, which can dilute the taste of nicotine. There is TM magazine on the table, and her eyes fall on the editor's signature again.

She raised her hand and glanced at her watch. There were still 10 minutes to five o'clock. Is Gu Ruoqing planning to step on it?

Today is not a formal meeting, but a free chat. Cheng Siyan actually has another purpose.She told her assistant that when people came, they would be brought directly into the tea room, and they would make tea first and wait for the guests to come.

Gu Ruoqing is a punctual person and likes to keep track of the time. When the two arrived at the office door, it was exactly 4:58.

"You'll be the speaker later, I'll add." Before entering the door, Gu Ruoqing said to Ji Ming.

"I feel like she might call you by name." After several confrontations, Ji Ming understood Cheng Siyan somewhat.

"Look at her reaction and play by ear."

Gu Ruoqing wants Ji Ming to regain her confidence. She has a withdrawn and low self-esteem character, and she has suffered setbacks at work, so she must recover as soon as possible.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Ji, this way please, Mr. Cheng has been waiting for a long time." Following his assistant into the office, Gu Ruoqing saw the sunset at first sight, like the last ray of light before dark, beautifully low-key and soft.

The general manager's office is like a big room, to the left is the conference room, and to the right is the exquisite and high-end tea room.The antique decoration, before reaching the door, I feel the fragrance of tea.

"Mr. Cheng, a distinguished guest is here." The assistant greeted the two of them respectfully, and retreated knowingly.

What Gu Ruoqing saw was an oriental beauty in a long Tang suit and a light bun. She was concentrating on making tea, exuding an intriguing beauty all over her body.

"Please sit down, both of you." Cheng Siyan raised his eyes and met Gu Ruoqing's eyes full of stories.

She was also stunned, Gu Ruoqing was not a stunning beauty, with light and delicate makeup, no traces of time could be seen.If Ji Ming's beauty is cold and detached, then Gu Ruoqing's beauty is that kind of calm and breezy, giving people a sense of comfort like a spring breeze.

Looking closely, the two even have similar charms.Perhaps it is the sense of distance and guardedness emanating from the depths of their hearts.

"Mr. Cheng, you can skip the tea, let's go through the plan first." Gu Ruoqing signaled to Ji Ming, "Let Mr. Ji report to Mr. Cheng first."

Gu Ruoqing's indifferent demeanor is fake, but he does things simply and neatly.

Cheng Siyan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It's okay."

She didn't refuse, even Ji Ming found it strange.Cheng Siyan stopped making tea, took out the electronic cigarette, and was about to put it on his lips.

Ji Ming hurriedly stopped, "I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng."

"Huh?" Seeing Ji Ming staring at the cigarette in his hand, Cheng Siyan understood, "It seems that Mr. Gu couldn't smell the smell of cigarettes, so he was rude."

Gu Ruoqing lowered her eyes and said nothing, her emotions were difficult to grasp, her indifference did not seem to be detached from the world of mortals, but rather like the indifference of escaping the world.

"Mr. Cheng, let me briefly tell you about the plan written by Mr. Gu himself. The theme of this time is still the same as the direction you proposed at the beginning. After discussion, we hope to buy out a certain work of Master Li on the premise of considering your cost budget. , anyway, it’s a borrowed name, her name is enough, and we rely on promotion in other places.”

"Master LI's works cost at least hundreds of thousands. Are you sure this is to reduce my cost?" Cheng Siyan really questioned.

Ji Ming took a look at Gu Ruoqing, and answered calmly: "I heard that Cheng is always a good collector. Master LI's new work is used to hype the Spring Festival in public. Why not add another collection to your cabinet privately. What's more, we After calculating the total price, plus the on-site packaging materials and the construction of the beautiful Chen, the final total cost does not exceed the cost you plan to invest.”

"How is it possible?" Cheng Siyan didn't believe it, and spending a small amount of money to promote it was like a pie in the sky.

"It seems that Mr. Cheng doesn't know much about promotion." Gu Ruoqing finally said, "Win-win and mutually beneficial cooperation has always been done by Mr. Cheng. I think you have been busy with everything or disdain to contact our small local media. You give the platform and products. Others are actually willing to advertise for you for free. Half of the promotional cooperation in our plan is free of charge, but it is just an exchange of resources. Ah Ming, you continue."

Cheng Siyan looked at Gu Ruoqing with a deep smile, and the two looked at each other indifferently, as if cautiously probing, they quickly moved away one after another.

"The following is the layout of some packaging display and promotion rhythm. I will probably talk to Mr. Cheng..."

Cheng Siyan didn't listen to what Ji Ming said later, she felt a little uncomfortable trying not to smoke.I thought it would take a long time to ramble on, but Ji Ming finished talking in a few minutes.

It took half an hour to report last time, but this time it will be done in 10 minutes?

She looked through the PPT herself and found that there were only 8P.In the past, the purpose plan was at least 30-50P, but this time I actually passed myself like this.

Is Gu Ruoqing proud, or is she being underestimated?

"I said, although the previous two reports were not satisfactory, there was a sincere attitude in them after all. This time, you just use the 8P content to fool me?" Cheng Siyan didn't like others to perfunctory himself.

The question she raised was also expected, and Ji Ming replied: "Mr. Cheng thinks there are redundant or missing parts in the PPT? Isn't it possible for us to give you an oral report with the PPT as the core? In the process of communication, so many words can’t be expressed in writing. I’m not as skilled as others, and I always want to write and show the content clearly, but Mr. Gu’s style is simple and elegant. You can take a look again. If you have any questions, Mr. Gu will answer them for you."

"Let's not talk about the level of content, it also represents the attitude, okay?"

Gu Ruoqing shook his head: "Experts look at the essence, and laymen look at jokes. I don't agree with Mr. Cheng's point of view."

"That's because we're in different positions, and we're looking for things in their positions. As Party A, it's understandable for me to make demands on Party B, right? Mr. Gu."

"Your request has deviated again. First of all, you didn't mention the length of the plan revision. Second, our plan has solved the problem you raised. Businessmen should look at the results, and we also look at the effect presentation when we do event media. There are always some of these It’s a waste of time to come and go with no questions. No wonder you’ve been working on it for so long. Ah Ming, you have to reflect on whether it’s our team’s professional problem or Party A’s problem. Pay attention to communication and don’t let your confidence be blown away by inexplicable reasons. People deliberately make things difficult for them without knowing it.”

The two faced each other head-on, and the "war" was about to break out. Gu Ruoqing satirized Cheng Siyan's unprofessionalism through cue Ji Ming, while Cheng Siyan picked on him openly and secretly.

"What Mr. Gu said is, I will definitely reflect on it." Ji Ming knew the meaning of Gu Ruoqing's words, and he followed them smoothly.

Cheng Siyan picked up a cup of tea, put it in his nose and sniffed lightly, but he was neither angry nor annoyed.She had seen Gu Ruoqing's sharpness. A woman's confidence and confidence often come from her strength.

In fact, she didn't care about the plan at all.

"Your aunt and nephew sang together, and you have a perfect understanding, and you came prepared." After she finished speaking, she took a sip of tea and pressed the bottom of the cup on TM magazine.

Gu Ruoqing and Ji Ming looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

"According to Mr. Cheng's words, this plan is really not that important." Ji Ming closed his notebook and found that Cheng Siyan was staring at the cover of TM magazine.

Did she guess something?Still found something?

"Let's cut to the chase. I don't like deviousness. I try my best to force me out. Mr. Cheng is a drunkard." Gu Ruoqing stayed up all night, and Ji Ming's expression was not good. She probably Guess what Cheng Siyan's intention is.

She should have known about being the editor-in-chief of TM.

With such a small circle, it was not difficult for Cheng Siyan to check things out.

Ji Ming didn't say a word, the two bosses had a conversation, they didn't want to overwhelm the host.

"As for me, I have always liked TM's magazines. After asking around, I found out that the editor-in-chief of TM, Shenlong, has never seen the real face of the editor-in-chief. They only know how to pay when the time comes. So I asked more, It turned out that the payee was named Gu Ruomin. After further investigation, it was very puzzling. How could an aunt who had no education and was bedridden for a long time write such an astonishing global fashion magazine? The writing style of the brand story line is even more Comparable to literary writers."

Ji Ming remained calm, while Gu Ruoqing remained silent.

Cheng Siyan said with a smile: "My damned curiosity always likes to break through the casserole to find out. Later, I found out that this Aunt Gu has an amazing younger sister and an excellent daughter."

"Stop." Gu Ruoqing's face darkened slightly, showing displeasure, feeling annoyed that someone had violated his privacy, "Let's just talk about your purpose, Cheng Siyan."

She called her full name, and Cheng Siyan smiled faintly: "J stands for Ji Ming, and Q stands for Qing. The two of you are working together seamlessly. Is it unreasonable to help my competitor write manuscripts?"

Ji Ming was accustomed to her tricky questions, and answered calmly: "When I was the editor-in-chief of TM, Qingchuang hadn't cooperated with BenQ, so it wasn't a foul. Writing manuscripts is a personal hobby, not a company cooperation, let alone a breach of contract. Mr. Cheng doesn't have to." Talk about it."

Gu Ruoqing stood up, and hit the point straight: "Mr. Cheng wants to be a magazine for BenQ, right?"

"She obviously is." Ji Ming also stood up, she was on the same side with Gu Ruoqing at any time, and was even ready to lose business.

"You two, I haven't finished talking, so don't get excited." Cheng Siyan stood up slowly, holding the e-cigarette habitually, playing with it in his hand, "I think there is no problem with this plan, and it can be issued and implemented today, but the magazine I hope you can think about it carefully. You are part-time editors and you can withdraw at any time. TM and MJ must be the biggest competitors in Tianhai City. I don’t like the sense of crisis, so it must be eliminated.”

Cheng Siyan approached Gu Ruoqing. She was sensitive to nicotine, even disgusted, so she took two steps back unconsciously.

Today, she wears a loose white sweater and wide-leg pants. She is tall and thin, full of femininity and outstanding temperament.

There was always an unnatural beauty in her eyes, but at this moment, because of Cheng Siyan's approach, she became panicked.

"Since the plan is fine, let's end our topic today. As for the editor-in-chief, let's discuss it later when we have time." Gu Ruoqing wanted to leave, Cheng Siyan wanted to stay, so he unconsciously stretched out his hand to wrap her shoulders, "Wait, Mr. Gu .”

"Ah!" Gu Ruoqing exclaimed suddenly, her arms clenched, Ji Ming hurriedly stepped forward and supported her shoulders, "It's okay, it's okay." Looking at Gu Ruoqing again, his face was pale and his eyes were frightened, Cheng Siyan froze on the spot with his hands hanging Half empty, half an hour did not let go.

Whether it was a needle in his hand or a knife in his finger, it just touched her shoulder. The terrified cry surprised Cheng Siyan.

Gu Ruoqing's expression of panic was completely different from before, she almost hid in Ji Ming's arms, Cheng Siyan looked at them speechless.After being embarrassed for a while, the assistant suddenly said outside the door: "President Cheng, Miss Ling is here."

Ling Mo directly pushed the door and walked in: "Father asked me to pick you up to eat..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Ji Ming hugging Gu Ruoqing ambiguously and stroking her back, his eyes were full of distress and love.
