At four o'clock in the afternoon, after seeing that nothing was going on in Zhai Palace, after explaining to the "Twelve Hairpins", Ning Weimin and Huo Xin left.
First they went to the Friendship Store together to buy some gifts for Aunt Liu.
Then we had a good meal, watched a good movie, and sat in a cold drink shop in front of a bathhouse for an hour.
Each of them drank a bottle of soda and looked at the time. It was almost half past eight. When the TV series was about to end, they went to visit her.
Maybe it was today's meal that made Huo Xin feel comfortable.
Maybe it's today's movie that makes Huo Xin satisfied.
Or maybe this feeling like a young couple visiting relatives makes Huo Xin and I feel happy.
When it came time to get down to business, she was unambiguous.
In front of the dark building of Aunt Liu's house, she looked like a cat walking at night, her eyes shining brightly, and her energy was very high and exciting.
Before going upstairs, Huo Xin also told Ning Weimin that Aunt Liu's daughter lived in school, so Aunt Liu and her lover should be the only ones at home.
As for Aunt Liu's lover, he works for a municipal materials company and his position is not high, he is just a section chief.
As expected, the person who opened the door was Aunt Liu's lover, a rather thin man in his forties.
He was very hospitable to his guests, and when he saw it was Huo Xin, he happily let them into the house.
Then he started serving tea and water to entertain them.
He handed Ning Weimin a cigarette, while Aunt Liu kept stuffing fruit into Huo Xin's hand.
"Why didn't you make a call?" Aunt Liu asked.
"Because I just want to surprise you? Aunt Liu, Uncle Wang, are you surprised and happy?"
Huo Xin tilted his head, the innocent expression on his face and his playful tone matched perfectly.
Aunt Liu and her lover laughed together.
The man, who was also called "Uncle Wang" in Huo Xin's mouth, said, "This kid is really naughty."
Aunt Liu asked urgently, "Have you eaten yet? It would be great if you came early. I'll cook you two delicious dishes."
Huo Xin pointed at Ning Weimin.
"I have long said that I would come to dinner. But he refused. He said that we had something to ask for, but we were too embarrassed to come to your house to eat and drink instead."
The ball was passed very well, and Ning Weimin quickly took out a gift and presented it to him.
It was a ladies' watch and a gold pen.
He was reluctant to let go of his child, so at this time, he had no reason not to give up.
But these two things, even a fool knows they are worth a lot of money.
Aunt Liu and her lover looked at the gift in front of them in surprise, but did not dare to reach out.
"Oh, why are you so polite? It's too valuable, I can't accept it." Uncle Wang said in a panic.
"Yes, if you have anything to say, just say it. As long as it doesn't violate the policy and is reasonable and legal, Auntie will definitely help..."
Aunt Liu also used subtext in her words to ambush the subsequent rejection.
But they didn't know that this kind of promise was exactly what Ning Weimin really needed.
What he wants is reasonable and legal.
"No, no, don't get me wrong. This gift is just a little thought on my part and has nothing to do with what I want to say today. Whatever we discuss next, whether it succeeds or fails, I will remember
Aunt Liu’s good…”
Ning Weimin quickly acted generously and looked very upright.
And there is only one reason why he said this.
That is, as long as the gift is given and it achieves its purpose, it doesn't matter what the reason is.
Compared with the huge returns, even if this investment is thrown into the water, it is nothing at all.
To his surprise, Huo Xin also laughed appropriately to help him.
"Uncle, aunt, don't worry. I personally picked these two things for you. These are just ordinary gifts."
"How could we let Aunt Liu violate our principles? Do I want Aunt Liu to make a mistake? Aunt Liu is my mother's best friend."
"Otherwise, if you are really worried, just think that we are just here to visit. We will only talk about family matters today, and we will not talk about work-related matters."
What a skill to use retreat to advance.
It seems like you are giving up the initiative, but in fact you are forcing the other party to take the initiative with your feelings.
This was the first time that Ning Weimin felt a tacit understanding with Huo Xin.
Perhaps, this kind of communication skills and rhetoric are skills she learned from her parents and are taught at home.
No matter what, it works now.
Under the double act of Ning Weimin and Huo Xin, Aunt Liu and her husband put away their things with a smile, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Of course, now listen to Huo Xin and Ning Weimin tell the whole story.
Their attitude becomes biased unconsciously, and it is difficult to maintain a neutral position.
After listening, Aunt Liu's first statement was directed at her husband.
"This Old Wu, I didn't know anything about what he was doing. Until now, everyone knows about it. No one has told me yet. It's really too much."
Uncle Wang also said, "Yes, Old Wu actually forgot to say hello to you for such a big deal. It's outrageous. To say it is serious is to overstep his authority, and to put it lightly, he doesn't take you seriously."
He paused and then expressed his dissatisfaction.
"And there is something wrong with your subordinate Xiao Zhang. With your note, according to normal procedures, why is it not allowed into the warehouse? She can't forget who she is just because she is related to Old Wu.
The soldiers are here."
Aunt Liu then asked Ning Weimin again, "Then how did you deal with it in the end? Did you say anything to Xiao Zhang again?"
Ning Weimin smiled and said, "No, that person has a bad temper and is very impatient. I'm afraid that what I said may cause misunderstanding, and it will be bad if he gets stiff again."
Aunt Liu seemed quite satisfied with this. She thought about it for a while and finally expressed her stance.
"In this case, I will go and ask in person tomorrow. I will definitely pursue this matter. I will criticize Xiao Zhang."
"Besides, don't worry, I have the final say on those paintings, not Old Wu. I want to see who can tell the difference when I sell the paintings to you."
But before Ning Weimin had time to be happy, he saw her pondering for a moment.
"But I'm afraid...you just said that the person who bought the painting was a Hong Kong tourist, right? If he really paid a deposit...then our leaders may be concerned about the influence of foreign affairs..."
Needless to say, Ning Weimin knew what kind of worries she had.
When I was thinking about how to solve this problem.
Unexpectedly, there is already a "Zhi Duo Xing" who has thought of a good idea, that is, Aunt Liu's lover.
"Don't be afraid of this. Even if they pay the deposit, it's just nonsense. Without you present, they definitely didn't sign the contract. They have no proof and no evidence, so they just use 10,000 yuan to argue? Since he, Old Wu, accepted the money, let the Hong Kong customer
Go find Lao Wu and ask for a painting."
"Anything our company sells, the contract is the minimum condition. You don't have to pay a deposit, but there must be a contract."
"What I mean is this, let's just make up for the contract now and it's over. A few days ahead of the date, you go to the office tomorrow to get it stamped. Then follow Xiao Ning and send part of the deposit. That's all on our side.
Already."
"If the leader wants to speak for Lao Wu, just say that we are representatives of foreign-funded companies. We can't let you offend one because of the other. As you can see, who will beg whom in the end?"
As soon as Uncle Wang said these words, not only Aunt Liu and Huo Xin were smiling, but Ning Weimin felt completely at ease.
This is a really good idea. It’s great!
It should be said that he has greater confidence in quelling this unexpected chaos.
