When Leo heard Mary Jane ask this, he thought his company had some negative news in the outside world.
Mary Jane heard the meaning of Leo's words and explained:
"Mr. Erwin, please don't get me wrong. I just happened to have heard of your company before, and you happened to call me. This coincidence makes me feel a little unbelievable, so I just want to confirm it with you."
"What's even more coincidental is that Miss Jian and I have actually met before. You must be destined to our company, so you must not refuse to attend our company's new product launch conference."
"Haha, what you say is really interesting. Although I usually can't remember other people's names clearly, I remember their faces and appearance very clearly. Maybe when we meet again, I will be able to remember who you are.
."
Although Leo once again mentioned the embarrassing incident that the two had met before but Mary did not remember now, Leo connected his words skillfully, and Mary Jane not only no longer felt embarrassed, but began to become curious about Leo.
Leo smiled and replied:
"I'm looking forward to our next meeting. Once the date of our company's new product launch is confirmed, I will notify you as soon as possible."
"The time for your company's new product launch conference has not been determined yet?"
"Some related issues have not been resolved yet, but the approximate date has been determined and is scheduled to be scheduled for next week, but the specific time has not been determined yet.
I'm really sorry that we contacted you in a hurry before we confirmed the date. It won't delay your subsequent schedule, right?"
"No, no. I'm just an ordinary reporter. How can I have such a long-term schedule!"
Mary Jane rolled her eyes and an idea popped up.
"Mr. Erwin, I wonder if I can go to your company for an on-site inspection in advance? If the inspection results are good, I might be able to help you promote it in the media circle."
Mary Jane has been very interested in El Technology Company before. This time, she just needs it for work, so she might as well satisfy her curiosity!
"Of course, you're very welcome! It's better to do it sooner rather than later. How about we postpone this inspection to tomorrow afternoon?"
"Okay! I happen to have time tomorrow afternoon, can you tell me the address?"
"The company's name is El Technology, and its address is the El Building, No. 3 1st Street, Midwest City, New York City."
"Okay, I've written down the address. Then we'll meet you at the El Building at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay, see you then."
Leo was about to hang up the phone, but suddenly Mary Jane's voice came from the phone again. If Leo hadn't improved his hearing, he might not have been able to hear it.
Mary Jane asked:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Erwin. I just forgot to ask, what is your position in your company? I need to register a reporter's visit here."
"Haha, I am the sole executive director of El Technology Company. El Technology Company was founded by me."
Mary Jane:…
Leo didn't know why Mary Jane fell into silence again, so he reminded her,
"Ms. Jane, are you still there? Do you have any questions?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I just didn't expect you to have such a high status in your company. Mr. Erwin, to be honest, you are really approachable.
Generally speaking, company bosses don’t bother to say hello to ordinary reporters like us, and will at least contact our editor-in-chief directly.”
Leo on the other end of the phone touched his nose and said with a smile:
"Haha, that's right! Maybe it's because I, the boss, haven't done my job well enough."
Mary Jane laughed along and chatted briefly with Leo.
Leo felt that the exchange was almost complete and said:
"Miss Jane, that's all there is to say. That's settled the matter. El Technology looks forward to your visit tomorrow."
Mary Jane responded with a smile, and the two ended the call.
Sitting on the sofa at home, Leo thought carefully about what Mary Jane just said about Leo's approachable manner.
Leo never felt that his status was superior to others.
On the contrary, due to the influence of the Marvel movies in his previous life, he saw protagonists with ordinary social status. Although he did not have any feelings of honor, at least he would subconsciously communicate with others on an equal footing.
If this person had no ill will or conflict of interest against Leo, Leo would be particularly happy to chat with this person. At least this would give him a much greater sense of accomplishment than communicating with unknown cats and dogs.
Leo's emotions are related to the fact that in his previous life, he was just a lowly person in society.
However, Leo now feels that if he wants to mix well in the Marvel world in the future, he still needs to pay attention to these skills in dealing with people.
At least what you say and do should be consistent with your current social status.
The exchange between him and Mary Jane on the phone today, although at first it felt like Leo was putting a hot face against a cold butt, the final result was still good.
At least Leo has achieved his original goal.
Leo even realized that he needed to pay attention to his current social status when talking to others in the future.
This is growth!
…
It was evening in a blink of an eye, and Mary Jane had returned home from get off work.
She took out her notebook and sorted out what she needed to do tomorrow.
And based on the information she currently has, she specially designed several questions that need to be asked carefully when she goes to El Technology Company tomorrow.
The person who called today turned out to be the executive director of El Technology Company, which surprised Mary Jane.
Although she didn't feel flattered, she even felt that the boss named Leo Irvine was definitely a novice with no company management experience.
But the other person is at least approachable and has met her before.
Out of politeness, she felt that she still had to take tomorrow's interview seriously.
Besides, she has indeed been interested in this company in Hell's Kitchen for a long time.
Time passed by with the rustle of the pen tip rubbing against the notebook, and it came to half past eleven at night.
Suddenly, the ringing of the phone interrupted Mary Jane who was working hard.
It's so late, who would call?
She picked up the coffee and took a sip, then picked up the phone on the table next to her.
"Hi, hello, this is Mary Jane. Who are you?"
There was silence on the phone for a few seconds. Just when Mary Jane suspected that someone had dialed the wrong number, a male voice said:
"Hi...Hi, MJ, I'm Peter. I...you, how are you doing lately?"
Mary Jane's hand holding the phone suddenly shook, as if she was a little excited.
She pursed her lips and said:
"I am fine, and you?"
"Not bad...you know, I've always had a good life, but it's not much better."
Peter spoke a little incoherently.
The corners of Mary Jane's mouth turned up unconsciously, and she said softly:
"Peter, we haven't seen each other for more than three months. Why did you call me so suddenly today and so late..."
Suddenly, Mary Jane seemed to remember something and asked doubtfully;
"Peter, if I remember correctly, the house you rented didn't have a phone, right?! Have you changed houses?"
Girls are very sensitive, and they can think of a lot from a small thing.
But Peter couldn't think about so much, and he didn't know why Mary Jane suddenly asked about this. So he answered honestly:
"I didn't change houses. I called you from a public phone on the street."
Sure enough, what Mary Jane thought of was confirmed.
The streets of New York City in the middle of the night were not safe, and she couldn't help but worry about her ex-boyfriend.
But she didn't want to be so obvious, so she could only say tactfully:
"Peter, it's already very late. You know, usually I'm already asleep at this time. If you have nothing to do, go back to the apartment and go to sleep. You can call me again during the day tomorrow."
I don’t know why, but Peter’s emotional intelligence suddenly exploded today and he actually understood what Mary Jane said.
He comforted:
"Don't worry, MJ. I made the call from the phone booth in front of my apartment. You know, the security here has always been good and it's safe. You don't have to worry.
Moreover, I called you today because I...I have something to say to you."
