As for the second step of entering the door, of course Ning Weimin should formally express his intention to come and introduce himself.
For Ning Weimin, this is still an important part of making Qu Xiao's parents favor him.
What does he rely on?
What relies on it is courtesy.
This "ceremony" has a double meaning.
It covers not only politeness and etiquette that express humanistic qualities and cultivation, but also practical gifts that express feelings.
To put it bluntly, while Ning Weimin tried his best to be polite, he also prepared gifts for Qu Xiao's parents.
This is called a two-pronged approach.
"Uncle, aunt, I am Ning Weimin who had a phone call with you this morning. As the deputy manager of the operations department of Pierre Carton Company, I took the liberty of visiting you today just to explain to you on behalf of the company Qu Xiao's performance on stage.
There are a lot of misunderstandings about this. I'm sorry for the impact it has on your family life. I also hope you can give me a chance to discuss it in detail."
As soon as he finished introducing himself, Ning Weimin took out two boxes of different sizes from the leather bag he brought.
Then he put the bag aside, bowed slightly, and held it with both hands, wanting to hand it to Qu Xiao's parents.
"It's just a small thing, uncle, auntie, please don't dislike it."
As the saying goes, don't be surprised if you are polite to others, and don't hit someone with a smiling face.
Ning Weimin's respectful gift made Qu Xiao's parents very happy.
To be honest, it doesn't matter what you give, the key is that it fully expresses respect.
It's a pity that he was short-handed. After all, Qu Xiao's parents didn't know what Ning Weimin was going to say later.
Therefore, Qu Xiao's parents really could only express their gratitude to Ning Weimin for his kindness.
Out of the mentality of being responsible for my daughter and my family, I wanted to fully retain the power to hold myself accountable for this matter.
It would be wisest for them to keep a certain distance from Ning Weimin.
"There's no need to be so polite. We don't want any gifts. All we want is for our daughter to be innocent."
Qu Xiao's mother first clearly refused, and also "pricked" Ning Weimin with her hand.
"What do you mean? Are you trying to apologize? Or are you trying to bribe us?"
Qu Xiao's father then expressed his stance, and his tone couldn't help but be a little angry and questioning.
If you are an ordinary person, even if you are not embarrassed at this time, you will probably be very worried.
You know, the most troublesome thing for a gift giver is that the other person is unwilling to accept or refuses strictly.
This often means that the money has been spent, the love has not been settled, the wife has been lost and the army has been lost.
But Ning Weimin would not.
Because he has always understood that giving gifts is not an easy task.
Not only does it require rich experience and skills, it can even be called an art.
The person giving the gift must choose the appropriate gift based on the other person's taste and preferences.
You also have to analyze the situation and the relationship between them to make sure the gift is given well, skillfully and of appropriate value.
Otherwise, it is very likely to end in a self-defeating and disastrous outcome.
Often in this kind of thing, either the gift giver shows his intelligence to the fullest, or his stupidity and clumsiness are clearly revealed.
Therefore, since he had anticipated that this process would encounter resistance from the very beginning, Ning Weimin naturally had a solution.
"Uncle, aunt, don't get me wrong. This is just the most common product of our company. It is also the main commodity that the Ministry of Economy and Trade and the Ministry of Textile have been exporting to foreign countries in large quantities in the past two years to earn foreign exchange for the country. I am giving these things to you. In fact,
It’s not really a gift. It’s just for you to take a look, which will help you better understand the significance of Quxiao’s work.”
It cannot but be said that Ning Weimin is quite smart and is simply a gift-giving genius.
The reason why this boy did not choose the conventional gifts such as high-end tobacco, alcohol, and tea.
Instead, he brought a men's polo shirt and a silk scarf produced by his company as gifts to Qu Xiao's parents.
It was because I knew that Qu Xiao’s parents’ jobs were very respectable and they both needed to socialize.
For them, these two things are not tacky, practical, and reasonably priced.
Even if you accept it, there will be no psychological burden, and of course it is very suitable.
Secondly, Ning Weimin’s excuse for giving gifts is also very clever.
He deliberately connected these two things with Qu Xiao's modeling career, making it seem like he was borrowing flowers to offer flowers to Buddha in order to talk about business.
This further eliminated the psychological resistance of Qu Xiao's parents and gave them no excuse to refuse gifts.
In short, the gift he gave was so subtle that it simply went to someone else's heart.
In a subtle way, the relationship is drawn in and the favor is left. Who can say that he is not clever?
There is no doubt that it will definitely add a good impression to Qu Xiao’s parents.
In fact, he really waited until Ning Weimin was able to sit on the sofa where the Qu family entertained guests.
Qu Xiao's parents' attitude towards him was basically the same as how they usually entertain their neighbors and subordinates.
Qu Xiao's mother even poured a glass of water for Ning Weimin.
Although it is just a glass of boiled water, it is also a very friendly sign.
It was far better than the meeting scene that Qu Xiao had always imagined in his mind.
So at this time, even this girl's wandering heart calmed down.
This really gave her hope and confidence, and she began to look forward to Ning Weimin's better performance to convince her parents.
Ning Weimin did not disappoint Qu Xiao.
Soon, he started the third step.
That is to take the initiative to confess that he was the "culprit" who led Qu Xiao astray.
And he also honestly told the truth that Qu Xiao was injured when he first appeared on stage, and he pretended to be a traffic accident and sent Qu Xiao home from the hospital.
Only then did Qu Xiao's parents realize that Ning Weimin was actually the young man who had been to their home before and had a pretty good impression of him at first.
Of course, while they were surprised, they were inevitably very angry when they learned that their daughter had started deceiving them with others.
Suddenly, he became dissatisfied with Ning Weimin and couldn't help but sternly criticized him.
Even towards their own daughters, their eyes became less kind and more severe.
As for why Ning Weimin did this, he had to put himself and Qu Xiao into a disadvantageous situation and bear such great pressure.
Of course, this is not out of stupidity, but there is a special logic of thinking.
You know, in the verbal game, when facing criticism from others.
Being too eager to clarify and defend will make people feel that they are hiding something and want to evade responsibility.
Even if you are right in the end, it will leave a bad impression on others.
In fact, I made a small mistake, and if I admit it, it's not a big deal.
On the contrary, people will think that you have the courage to admit your mistakes and have a decent character, so it will be easier for them to forgive you.
Based on this principle, Ning Weimin would naturally not deliberately evade his obvious responsibilities, or use lies to try to excuse himself. It would be a waste of money.
He couldn't take the risk of completely losing the trust of Qu Xiao's parents.
Especially the fact that Qu Xiao became a model has been known to her parents. This is the core point of the conflict that cannot be changed.
No matter how well Ning Weimin conceals his mistakes, it will not help solve the actual problem.
In turn, only by gaining the trust of Qu Xiao's parents can he possibly convince them and change their views.
When that time comes, his mistakes will no longer matter and will no longer be mistakes.
Therefore, it is a great wisdom to expose one's shortcomings and use retreat to advance.
