[55]
Lu Ming's new product was launched, and everything was ready, except for the spokesperson, which repeatedly hit a wall. Because the new products are more than the top and more than the bottom, in addition to Cai Luoxu, the company sent cooperation invitations to several well-known domestic stars, all of which were declined. Either the other party thinks that Lu Ming's brand is not the first choice, or the other party's schedule has expired and they have to wait.
Within the project budget, the cost of inviting a spokesperson has exceeded the standard, and Lu Ming does not intend to continue to increase the money.
Lu Ming's grandfather's company had been ruined a lot in Lu Fengshen's hands before, and now it needs a large amount of money to start again. Although Lu Ming was very generous to Chi Qiu, he was fussy about the project budget.
The only big star Luo Xu who was willing to pick him up went abroad to accompany his wife.
but…
Xu Ling was very thoughtful, and he asked tentatively: "Mr. Lu, Luo Xu has returned to China these two days, and it seems that he brought his wife back with him. Maybe we can ask the other team again, if there is still interest..."
"Luo Xu can't do it." Lu Ming absolutely doesn't want to use someone who puts personal matters above public ones.
Xu Ling knew what Lu Ming was thinking, and persuaded him tactfully: "Actually, the private life of an artist, as long as there are no major problems, it really won't affect our products. Luo Xu's wife was also an artist before, and the two of them are really very popular. Gao. If Luo Xu can be our spokesperson, it will definitely benefit us."
"Xu Ling, I told you not to consider him."
Lu Ming's meaning was very clear. He wanted Xu Ling to continue looking for a spokesperson, so he said righteously: "Luo Xu left his job and went abroad to accompany his wife willfully. Is this reasonable?"
Xu Ling complained in his heart that Lu Ming was rigid. He relied on his "perfect tongue" to lobby for a long time, but still failed. Finally, across the phone, in front of the ruthless Lu Ming, Xu Ling sighed deeply.
Now that he has become a regular and promoted, he has a lot of confidence: "But Mr. Lu, didn't you also leave your job today and stay at home with Mr. Chi?"
"And yesterday, as soon as you finished your work, you went to find Mr. Chi non-stop. You didn't participate in any of the follow-up meeting discussions. "
Xu Ling's heart was like a mirror, and he was speechless about Lu Ming's behavior.
How is it that only "state officials are allowed to set fire" and "people are not allowed to light lamps"
Accompanying his wife is not a big deal that cannot be accommodated. Is it possible that Mr. Lu is still a double standard
Xu Ling didn't dare to say anything else, if Lu Ming wanted to fire him, it would be over. He didn't forget to point it out, and with a little grievance, he mentioned a few words in an extremely "tactful" way about his exhaustion from busy work on this matter.
Finally, Xu Ling persuaded bitterly: "President Lu, Luo Xu is really a good choice, just let me try again."
Lu Ming was speechless, even he himself couldn't believe it, he was able to leave his job and stay at home with Chi Qiu.
Holding his phone, he stood there in a daze.
And Lu Ming's so-called "wife" didn't know anything yet, and was sitting obediently on the sofa, holding the tea leaves, waiting for Lu Ming to come and invite him to the art exhibition.
After waiting for half an hour, Chi Qiu simply took down the tea leaves by himself.
He touched his eyes and felt that most of the swelling had subsided.
Today's sunshine is very good, and Chi Qiu's mood is also clear. He got up and walked to the door, and when Lu Ming hung up the phone, he deliberately stepped forward.
Lu Ming put away his phone, regardless of his upset, subconsciously stepped forward and stretched out his arm, letting Chi Qiu support him: "Something went wrong at work, I've been talking to Xu Ling for a while."
"It's okay, work is important." Chi Qiu pinched Lu Ming's arm understandingly, and his tone was full of intimacy, "I'm tired of arranging the roses. It's been hard work. I'll give you a pinch."
Lu Ming let Chi Qiu mess around, and the boredom in his heart was instantly blown away. Without knowing it, he looked down at Chi Qiu's eyes and asked, "The swelling has subsided a little, is it still uncomfortable?"
"It's not uncomfortable anymore, the tea method is so effective." Chi Qiu said while raising the ticket in his hand, hiding his expectations, and pretending to be careless, "Aunt Zhang said you forgot something, let me give it to you, It feels like two tickets?"
Lu Ming glanced at it, and took it casually: "It's the ticket for Uncle's art exhibition, I don't plan to go."
He blocked Chi Qiu with one sentence.
Chi Qiu was stunned, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "Why don't you go to Uncle's art exhibition?"
Lu Ming really wasn't interested in appreciating paintings, and besides, there might be someone he didn't want to see in the exhibition.
"I have no interest in art exhibitions."
Going forward, every time Lu Fengshen held an art exhibition, he would force Lu Ming to gather the number of people. But now that Lu Fengshen is a bit famous, a layman like Lu Ming thinks it's better not to make trouble.
Chi Qiu was calculating in his heart, and said inside and out: "If you don't go, won't uncle's ticket be given for nothing? Isn't it good to disappoint uncle's kindness like this?"
"No." Considering that Chi Qiu was blind and couldn't see the art exhibition, Lu Ming didn't realize Chi Qiu's intention to go. He looked at the two tickets in his hand and said, "It happens that Xu Ling's sister is very interested in the art exhibition. He asked me several times. After going to work, I will give him the ticket."
Lu Ming stopped talking all at once, leaving no room for Chi Qiu at all.
Seeing that Lu Ming said he was going to give it away, Chi Qiu could only breathe a sigh of relief. He thought to himself, when his eyes have a chance to "recover their eyesight", he must go to Lu Fengshen's art exhibition once to broaden his horizons and gain insights.
In the afternoon, Lu Ming's work phone never rang again.
The two carefully tied the misplaced rose branches together with ropes and hung them upside down in a relatively dry and ventilated place.
Lu Ming's movements were quick, and one rose after another rose into clouds in his hands. Chi Qiu beside him seemed to be indifferent to these meticulous tasks, and failed to adjust the position twice in succession, causing the rose in his hand to lose many petals, which is really a pity.
Seeing this, Lu Ming kindly reminded him twice, then started directly, held Chi Qiu's hand to tie the rope, and taught him carefully.
"understand?"
"Yes, I understand... But I still can't tie it well."
Lu Ming was surprisingly patient with Chi Qiu: "Didn't you say last night that you have already learned it, and you can still teach me?"
Chi Qiu likes that Lu Ming is holding his hand to handle things, so he took the opportunity to hook Lu Ming's little finger with his little finger, and said shamelessly, "I don't know, anyway, I can't tie it well today."
Lu Ming understood: "Can't do it on purpose?"
Chi Qiu frowned and pursed his lips. He didn't mean it at all: "..." He re-adjusted the position of the rose branches, tied them together carefully, and tied a knot. After everything was ready, he picked up the rose vigorously, touched the hook above it, and hung it up securely: "Okay."
Seeing Chi Qiu's aggrieved expression, Lu Ming didn't know what he was fighting for, so he couldn't help it, so he laughed softly.
Chi Qiu suddenly raised his head, hesitated for a moment, and asked incredulously, "Are you laughing?"
"Um."
"What's wrong, can't I laugh?"
Chi Qiu was dazzled by the delicate and charming rose, and hurriedly replied: "Of course..." He was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed foolishly, his eyes were full of Lu Ming, and his heart throbbed, "This is After we got married, I heard you laugh for the first time."
Lu Ming smiled beautifully, and fell into Chi Qiu's heart.
Chi Qiu's heart was flustered, he clearly saw Lu Ming's smile, but hurriedly said, "You must look good when you smile."
Lu Ming didn't take it seriously, the expression on his face relaxed, and he held Chi Qiu's hand again.
Chi Qiu moved close to him, fingers touching fingers, arms touching arms, the temperature between each other was as comfortable as the afternoon sun. Lu Ming saw Chi Qiu's flushed ears, and his voice was deep and deep: "Concentrate."
For Chi Qiu, this Sunday was extremely meaningful.
