nosy on you

meal with ulterior motives

Gu Xi opened the car door and sat in the driver's cab. He stared blankly at the scratched wound on his knuckles for a while, then found a few bandages in the armrest box, and treated them roughly.

As soon as he started the car, the phone rang in his pocket.

Tao Li's incoming call was displayed on the screen, and he was very responsive, as if he had calculated that he would get a huge sum of money today.

Gu Xi impatiently threw his cell phone on the passenger seat, lowered the car window and lit a cigarette. He felt exhausted like never before, exhausted both physically and mentally, and he even felt extremely weak to inhale with the cigarette holder in his mouth.

"Next, I will pursue rigor."

Xu Rui's words kept playing in a loop in his mind, and his tone was full of provocation. He didn't know what else he could do, and what position he should be in to stop it. This helpless state made people feel desperate.

He's having a terrible time these days, like a blind man who has regained his sight and has fallen into a dark world again, completely lost in purpose and direction, with his original phone case and iPhone stolen from him the last time he was drunk.

He is now using the cell phone that was strictly kept in the bedroom.

Yan Jing obviously knew about his recent situation, but the two of them never contacted each other again, just like the system after restoring the factory settings, and there was no trace of the previous use.

When the phone rang for the third time, Gu Xi answered the phone depressed: "Hello?"

"Are you free tonight..." Tao Li asked, "Let's have a meal together, I have reserved a box in Shuiyunjian."

"Your factory can't find a buyer..." Gu Xi was already on fire, but now he became even more impatient, "Why do you keep staring at me, I'm not interested in the clothing industry!"

"Don't get me wrong, I don't want you to take over..." Tao Li smiled, "My dad is already discussing the transfer of the contract with two friends, so it's not too much to catch up with you. "

"What room is it?" Gu Xi glanced at the time, it was almost time for dinner, it was better to eat with someone than to go to a restaurant alone, although he didn't have much appetite, he still had to eat enough for three meals a day.

"213 on the second floor, I'm in the store, waiting for you to come and order." Tao Li said.

Shuiyunjian is not far from C University. The architectural style is retro and luxurious, with red walls and golden tiles, surrounded by sixteen vermilion lacquer columns. There are about thirty black square tables in the lobby on the first floor, and several L-shaped cashier counters. A ceramic wine jar with a red cloth seal.

The store has been established for some years, and the price of vegetables has also risen steadily with the times. The restaurant next to it has changed owners several times.

But the store is still standing. If the seats are not full of fashionable young men and women, it really feels like you have stumbled into a costume studio.

Gu Xi followed a little girl in Hanfu into a box on the second floor. There was no door in the room, and the rattan mat rolling curtain three feet above the ground could block part of the view, but the sound insulation effect was not satisfactory.

When he was in college, he and Tao Li often treated guests here, and sometimes they couldn’t even figure out who the guests were, and they didn’t need to declare their names when they introduced each other, because no one could remember them.

Usually it's someone's friends, and new friends brought by friends.

"Gu Xi, sit down quickly, we haven't been here for several years..." Tao Li got up and greeted him, "I just asked the boss, the chef hasn't changed, I remember you like plum vegetables the most Elbow, just order whatever you want."

"Just make up your mind, I'm not hungry." Gu Xi sat down opposite him.

"Okay, then I'll order..." Tao Li reported the names of six or seven dishes in one breath, then turned around and asked, "What wine do you want to drink?"

"I don't drink, you can do whatever you want." Gu Xi waved his hand.

Tao Li ordered another bottle of Wuliangye, and the waiter dressed as a waiter walked out with an iPad. The room suddenly became quiet, and even the rude persuasion words at the next table could be heard very clearly.

"How are you all these years..." Tao Li poured him a cup of tea, "You seldom interact with us after Lin Yi's accident. Except for classes and exams, I haven't seen you much at school."

Gu Xi didn't speak. There were not many people who could talk to him about Lin Yi. After finally meeting one, he didn't want to talk anymore.

"I don't mean anything else. I saw a young man in the digital zone of Lehe Shopping Center last month..." Tao Li cleared his throat, "He looks very much like Lin Yi. When I made a phone call and went back, the person disappeared.”

Lehe Shopping Center is very close to the coffee shop where Yan Jing worked. What he said should be the truth. Gu Xi regained his energy in an instant, and quickly asked: "Is the person you mentioned wearing a blue T-shirt with a picture printed on it?" Cartoon Mickey!"

"Yeah, how do you know..." Tao Li stared at him in surprise, "Do you know each other?"

Gu Xi sighed, hesitated for a while, and briefly recounted the whole thing. He didn't think too much about it, but he felt panicked and his chest was about to explode, so he wanted to find someone to talk to.

"It turns out that Dong Qingping has a son, and it's fate that you two met..." Tao Li also sighed, and poured a glass of wine to himself, "I didn't expect that Liqi Daily Chemical would be acquired by the Xu Group, so you take it What are your plans when you come down?"

"I didn't think about it that much..." Gu Xi said, "Let's take one step at a time."

"Brother, I think you can really consider my garment factory..." Tao Li immediately added, "Strictness will definitely take over the entire group company in the future. As far as I know, the D&L brand has about 20.00% foreign Purchasing demand, you can just use the opportunity of business negotiation to repair the relationship with him."

"He doesn't even want to see me, and he talks about business." Gu Xi frowned.

"There is a business department in the factory. You don't need to do it yourself for the initial contact. The key is that our products are excellent and the styles are fashionable. The first thing to look for when choosing a partner is strength..."

Tao Li persisted in persuading, "Are you afraid that he will break the contract after confirming the purchase intention?"

Gu Xi thought about his words seriously, and there was indeed some truth to them.

"Even if the business is not negotiated, at least you have your own business, which is better than sitting on the mountain..." Tao Li put a big elbow in his bowl, "Our factory's foreign trade business alone has an annual revenue of more than 1000 million. The net profit can reach more than 200 million.”

"How much does it cost to sell your factory?" Gu Xi was a little moved, and asked along the topic.

"Our relationship is so tight, I won't cheat you, my dad's friend offered 800 million, but he can't come up with so much cash for the time being..."

Tao Li said, "If you can settle it all at once, I'll count it as a friendship price of 500 million."

Gu Xi coughed twice, the relationship between the two of them was not that strong, he still remained somewhat skeptical about such kind of purely business-oriented polite words, let alone express his opinion on the spot.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the field to investigate. You will definitely not lose money at this price..." Tao Li picked up his wine glass and knocked it on his teacup. .”

"Let me think about it, it's not a small sum after all." Gu Xi took out his mobile phone and opened the mobile banking calmly. There were more than 300 million in the account, which was just right when added together.

Afterwards, both of them ate a little absent-mindedly. They didn't take a few sips of the food, but they drank up the bottle of wine. Tao Li followed him out of the hotel after paying the bill. stand up.

"I told you not to drink so much..." Gu Xi stood still. When the wind blew, he smelled a strong sour smell. He immediately covered his nose and frowned, "Find someone Let's drive."

"I'm fine, happy..." Tao Li took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, and walked straight to the door of the Maserati, "Can you take me back, I'll come back tomorrow to pick up the car."

Gu Xi really wanted to say that the two of them were not on the way, but this meal was a treat after all, this request didn't seem too much, it would be unreasonable to directly refuse: "Okay, where do you live?"

The address Tao Li gave him was a high-end real estate in the north of the city, very close to the headquarters of D&L Group...

Open the browser and enter the XXX URL, enter the user name and password after the login interface pops up, enter the sales management directory on the left menu bar, and click the sales details query option.

Strictly followed the system introductory guide to export the sales data summary of each store for the past month. It took a long time to get to the end. There are more than 80 rows in the table, and there are [-] to [-] columns in the horizontal row.

He glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the screen. It was already 09:30, and there were two hardworking employees working overtime across a few aisles. The sound of clicking keyboards and mice echoed in the quiet office area.

Manager Liu demonstrated it to him during the day, but it was a pity that the action was too fast, and he could remember only a few steps. In the afternoon, the commodity department had to rush to report, so no one cared about him when he was busy.

Although he can operate the computer proficiently, Excel is rarely used at ordinary times.

Rigorously screen out the name of the store, and then sum up the sales amount and sales quantity one by one, and then copy it in a small notebook with a pen. After repeating it a few times, the eyes will be blurred. According to this progress, it must be open all night.

In fact, no one assigned him tasks, but he always felt uneasy with the title of trash.

"You worked so hard on the first day of work, are you going to be judged as an outstanding employee at the end of the year?" A male voice with a smile came from behind, and you can tell who it is without looking.

"Why are you here?" Yan Jing turned around abruptly, and was immediately stunned.

Xu Rui leaned next to his ear and stared at the pile of numbers on the monitor. If he hadn't moved the chair, he could have kissed him just now. This distance is very unsafe. Xu Rui's breath hit his face lightly, It's hot and itchy.

"Mr. Xu's news is really well-informed..." Yan Yan moved a few inches to the side in embarrassment, "Did you come to see my joke?"

"If you do the data like this, you can't finish a report in half a month..." Xu Rui leaned on the edge of the table and laughed, "Can you use a pivot table? It can be done in a few seconds, and it doesn't need to be so troublesome."

"What the hell?" Yan Jing was confused.

Xu Rui clicked on the form a few times, held down the mouse and dragged for a while, and the huge data was immediately summarized into a neat box, sorted into categories, and clear at a glance. It really only took five seconds before and after.

"Wow, that's amazing, how did you do it, please teach me." Yan Jing looked at him with admiration.

"It's not difficult to learn..." Xu Rui handed a thick reference book in front of him, "If you have time, read this book from beginning to end. You don't need to memorize it by rote, as long as you have an impression, you can use it if you want. It’s time to take it out and flip it over.”

Yan Jing glanced at the cover, "Excel Functions and Formulas", this is exactly what he needs.

"You came here specially to give me the book?" He smiled and picked up the book, "Thank you..."

"You haven't eaten yet. No matter how hard you work, don't be in a hurry. The work will never be finished..." Xu Rui turned off the computer casually, "Let's go, continue working tomorrow, and I'll treat you to supper."

"Aren't you afraid of gaining weight..." Yan Jin stood up and stretched, "Be careful that you won't even be able to get in the booth."

"I still remember..." Xu Rui patted his trouser pocket, "I didn't drive, so I will take a walk and go home later to digest food."

When Gu Xi passed the gate of the D&L headquarters, he slowed down and turned his head to stare at the dim night sidewalk outside the window. Two people came out of the building side by side, their eyes met, talking and laughing.

He felt his blood pressure soar to 180, his body trembled violently, and then he slammed on the brakes.

"Are you there?" Tao Li rubbed his eyes and asked in a daze.

"I'll take over your factory..." Gu Xi firmly gripped the steering wheel, "Let's sign the contract tomorrow."
