The Public Relations Department sent the final list of people flying to South Korea by email to the person in charge of the Korean side. The person in charge of the other side responded immediately, saying that they did not have so much time to deal with so many people, and only one of the five people on the list could go. , and only women.
An emergency meeting was convened. The manager of the public relations department was a forty-year-old middle-aged woman who was mature and capable. When dealing with this kind of problem, she didn't even need to think about it. She asked us directly: "Qi Yun, Shen Yan, you two decide for yourself. , who is going?”
Qi Yun and I looked at each other and considered each other.
He Bin spoke up: "Shen Yan can't do it. She is completely unfamiliar with this project, has no negotiation experience, and has never even traveled far. If she is allowed to go, she may not even be able to guarantee her personal safety."
Qi Yun was not happy when she heard this, "I have never traveled far. Besides, my parents and boyfriend are both in Shanghai. If my boyfriend knew that I went to South Korea alone for a business trip, he would make me resign."
Zhong Kai rarely took my side and asked Qi Yun: "Didn't you go to Japan last time? I didn't see any objection from your boyfriend."
"It's different. Last time, it was because there happened to be a friend in Japan who could host me. I'm not familiar with Korea, so I won't go." Qi Yun's attitude was relatively clear, meaning she would resign if she was allowed to go.
I am considered a newcomer in this company. Although I have a special status, I don’t have much decision-making power. He Bin opened his mouth and wanted to speak for me again, but I blocked him with my eyes. I said, "Then let me go. I'm almost familiar with the project content. As long as the other party doesn't ask any particularly professional questions, I should be able to handle it."
"Do you understand Korean?" Zhong Kai asked me bluntly.
I was startled, "Can't you even bring a translator?"
Zhong Kai smiled and shook his head, "If you can bring a translator, why do you need to stress that you can only go to one?"
"What should I do?" I can improvise and familiarize myself with the content of the entire project, but it is absolutely impossible to learn Korean in one night.
He Bin cast his gaze on Qi Yun's face, and Qi Yun quickly reached out her hand to refuse: "Don't look at me, I don't speak Korean either."
"Forget it, it's a dead horse anyway. If the negotiation fails, I will pay for the air tickets myself. Although the company has lost a profit, it has not lost anything." As soon as I finished speaking, everyone at the table looked at it. Look at me, I look at you, no words spoken.
Neither the public relations manager nor Zhong Kai spoke, obviously they had no objection.
After the meeting, He Bin followed me into the office, closed the door defensively, and walked towards me: "Auntie, why are you so impulsive? You asked me to tell you what you are good at."
"He Bin, you're 'Tang Monk' again!" I didn't even raise my eyes, standing in front of my desk, sorting out all the project information.
He Bin said earnestly: "Do you know how much profit there is in this project?"
"It must be quite a lot." For a project worth tens of millions, a commission of at least 100,000 was negotiated. After all, I have calculated the employee salaries for several months, so I still have this concept.
"Then do you know why Qi Yun doesn't want to go with such thick oil and water?" He Bin put his hands on the edge of the table and looked at me seriously.
"Didn't she say that her family and boyfriend don't agree." Actually, I know that this is not entirely the reason why Qi Yun is unwilling to go, but I don't have the extra time to speculate on the reasons why others gave up on this project. All I know is that the company belongs to my mother. At this juncture, others can give up a project worth tens of millions for personal reasons, but I can't, especially since I still have no choice.
He Bin said with a smile in a "I'm too young" tone: "Why is the person in charge of the Korean side only willing to contact Jian Xin, and why did he ask for only one woman? Can you think more comprehensively? I won't tell you. If you fail to negotiate this case, what will those people say about you just now? Just whether you can come back safely after going to South Korea is a problem that cannot be underestimated."
"It's not as exaggerated as you said." I glanced at him funny, put the information neatly into the folder, and interrupted: "Okay, the matter has been settled, it is useless to talk more. You have this spare time, why not Help me think of countermeasures."
He Bin lowered his head helplessly, paused for a while, then raised it again, "If anything happens to you in Korea, your mother will definitely kill me." He said it word for word, seriously.
I patted his shoulder with the folder: "Stop thinking nonsense. I'm such a big man, what can happen to me? I'll go back and pack my things first. Give me a call when the flight tickets are booked."
After leaving the company, I parked the car aside and took out my mobile phone to call Jian Xin. Since the person in charge of the Korean side is only willing to contact her, she must have the skills to conquer the other party. If she is willing to speak, she can at least impart some valuable experience to me.
By the way, I want to ask her why she helped Liang Sheng deceive me into the hotel.
Jian Xin's phone was always busy. She called several times but couldn't get through. She almost gave up. Just as she was about to put down the phone, her call came back.
"Ms. Shen is calling me at this time. Do you have any questions to ask me?" Jian Xin got straight to the point without even a polite word.
I calmed my breath and said calmly: "I have something to ask you. I wonder if you have time now?"
"Now?" Jian Xin's words seemed to have changed directions. She was probably looking somewhere else, and her voice became farther away. "I'm at home. If you're not too far away, come over."
"Where is your home?"
"I'll send you my address on your mobile phone."
I hung up the phone and followed up with a message. I glanced at the address, District MH, so far away. It takes at least an hour to drive there from me, even if the road conditions are very good.
Okay, there is no better choice anyway.
Driving all the way to the MH district on the navigation system, Jian Xin lived in a newly opened building. The price was so high that the financial news repeatedly broadcast it at the end of last year. It seemed that she was indeed a unique publicist. However, I hope that this time, when I knock on the door of her house, it will no longer be Liang Sheng who appears in front of me.
After an hour and a half, we finally arrived at our destination. I parked the car and took the elevator directly. I stood in front of Jian Xin's house. My heart was still anxious. I finally knocked on the door. The difference from yesterday was that this time someone came to open the door immediately.
Jian Xin appeared in front of me wearing a facial mask, which shocked me, but compared to the fact that the person I saw was Liang Sheng, it was not a shock at all.
Jian Xin invited me to sit down, pointed to the coffee machine opposite with her chin, arranged the mask on her face and said, "It's already cooked. Pour it yourself."
"You don't have to be so polite." I stood up, poured myself a cup of coffee, and sat back on the sofa. Just as I was hesitating about how to start, Jian Xin said bluntly: "It seems that you haven't reconciled yet."
