My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Lin Lin was about to ask what everyone was talking about about her uncle when she saw a tall, thin woman walking towards them with documents in her hands. The people who were gossiping just now stopped talking and returned to their workstations.

Although Manager Cai is a middle-aged woman over 40 years old, she takes good care of herself and looks quite young.

She is usually very serious in dealing with her employees, and the company employees are a little afraid of her.

Manager Cai glanced at the few people who had just gathered together to chat. Seeing that everyone had returned to their workstations, he pursed his lips and said nothing. He turned his head in Lu Xiaoqiao's direction and said, "Xiaoqiao, come to my office for a moment."

In the office, Manager Cai sat in a chair behind his desk. "I called you here for two reasons. First, Jiang Heng Group's team-building plan has been finalized! In addition to the subsidiaries, Mr. Zhou's own tech company is also participating. Because of the tech company's previous relocation, we're running out of time, so this year we're using standard procurement methods. We have ample funds for the event, and our peers are all eyeing this lucrative piece of meat, the clothing business. I hope you can negotiate a deal."

Jiang Heng Group moved to the building next to them at the beginning of this year. The two brand new office buildings almost blinded the eyes of the natives nearby. The arrival of Jiang Heng caused the housing prices and shops, which were already very expensive, to rise again.

A few days ago, Lu Xiaoqiao heard from her aunt that if the rent continued to rise, with the company's current performance, she didn't know if she could continue to stay in such a high-standard office building.

Their company had previously undertaken group purchases for large groups like this, but Jiang Heng wasn't just any large group. This year, they were probably trying to play the "neighbor" card, hoping to influence Jiang Heng. After all, if this had been done through traditional bidding, their company wouldn't even have been eligible to bid.

"Manager Cai, I can only say that I will try my best, but if we can't reach an agreement, you won't deduct my bonus, right?" Lu Xiaoqiao felt a little pressured. She also wanted to make the deal, but how could she get the meat that so many people were eyeing?

"Go for it this time. I've told your uncle-in-law that if we can really get Jiang Heng Group's purchase this time, I'll transfer you to the design team."

Manager Cai knew that Lu Xiaoqiao was quite capable in sales, but she also had potential in design.

"Really? My uncle-in-law agreed? As long as the deal is done, can I be transferred to the design department?" She was originally a designer. During her internship here last year, she accidentally negotiated a large group purchase when the sales staff was away. When her uncle-in-law found out, he thought she had great potential in the sales field.

From that day on, Lu Xiaoqiao, who was still in the internship period, was transferred from the design department to the sales department. She had protested, saying that she liked design but not sales, but her aunt said that she could learn a lot in the sales department and asked her to work there first and then be transferred back to the design department when she had the chance.

Looking at the girl's cheeks flushed with excitement, Manager Cai's usually serious face also smiled. "It's true, but the prerequisite is that you have to win the Jiang Heng project. This is their company's procurement requirements. Go back and take a good look at it."

Lu Xiaoqiao took the document handed over by Manager Cai with both hands and a smile: "Yes, I know. Manager Cai, don't worry, I will definitely fight for it."

"Also, you should go to this year's fashion exhibition with Zhao Jia and the others. Your aunt helped you secure both the job transfer and the exhibition, so please arrange your time accordingly."

Lu Xiaoqiao knew that Manager Cai said this to avoid any estrangement between her and her aunt, but she also understood in her heart that this was also a way of telling her that she only had this one chance, and it depended on whether she could seize it.

After returning to his workstation, he told Lin Lin the good news that Manager Cai had told him.

"Really?" Lin Lin's expression was the same as she had in the office just now.

Lu Xiaoqiao nodded and smiled, and asked her to lower her voice: "Don't let others know for now. I'm afraid that others will hear it and then laugh at me if I fail." After she finished speaking, she giggled, which showed how happy she was to be able to transfer to another position.

Lin Lin also nodded in response, lowered her voice, and whispered: "Why won't it succeed? I'll call my uncle in a moment, he will definitely help you."

"No, please don't call me. You should handle your own affairs as much as possible. Why do you want me to use the back door? Besides, aren't you afraid of your uncle?"

Lin Lin's parents had to work, and her grandparents died young, so she and her brother lived with her maternal grandfather since they were young. They grew up with their uncle, who was the elder. She had rarely seen her uncle smile since she could remember, and later, because of her grandmother's incident, he became even more silent...

Thinking of this, Lin Lin sighed and spoke even more quietly: "I'm still afraid, but for you, I can risk it."

When Lu Xiaoqiao was in Manager Cai's office just now, she did want to ask Lin Lin for help for a moment, but it was only a fleeting thought. Although they were good friends, she didn't want to trouble her friend's family because of this matter. This kind of favor was the hardest to repay.

"Don't worry about me. I want to fight for it on my own. Let's not bother your uncle for this kind of thing."

In the end, Lin Lin couldn't persuade Lu Xiaoqiao and had to give up the idea of ​​calling Zhou Qizhen.

"Then you can come with us to the exhibition. You don't need to buy a ticket. I told my brother a few days ago that he will drive us."

Having just rejected the kindness of the young sisters, Lu Xiaoqiao did not refuse again this time.

……

Jiangheng Group President's Office.

Li Yuxuan looked at Zhou Qizheng, who was signing with his head down, and asked, "Why did you go home so early last night?"

He went out to answer a phone call last night, and when he came back, Lin Ziyang said Zhou Qizheng had gone home. He regretted it so much! He regretted why he went out to answer the phone. He had hoped to take advantage of Zhou Qizheng's slightly drunk state to find out more gossip, but in the end, he had to hold back the words in his stomach for the whole morning.

Zhou Qizheng handed the signed document back to Li Yuxuan, who was sitting across the desk from him. "Why, no?"

Li Yuxuan took the signed document and placed it under his arm on the desk. "I didn't say no, I was just curious why you came back so early."

Looking at his friend's gossipy eyes, Zhou Qizheng said nothing. He picked up the cup beside him and took a sip of water before slowly saying, "Workout."

"I feel like you're just trying to fool me. You always work out in the morning. When did you start working out in the evening too?" Li Yuxuan felt like his friend just didn't want to talk about it.

But this time Li Yuxuan really wronged him, but he didn't want to explain anything. He picked up the document next to him that had not been approved and opened it to continue reviewing it.

Seeing that he didn't answer him, Li Yuxuan leaned back in his chair and said quietly, "I never thought that the woman you have in your heart is such a young girl, and she is Lin Lin's classmate."

At this point, she leaned forward and moved closer to Zhou Qizheng: "Hey, what are you thinking? If you really like her, then go after her. With your conditions, are you afraid that you can't catch up? Maybe the girl likes you too. If it's because of age... well, a ten-year age difference is indeed a bit small, but don't young girls like older uncles these days?"

Among his many friends, Zhou Qizhen is the most handsome, and his family and social status are there. He doesn't believe that any woman can refuse him.
