My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Lu Xiaoqiao arrived at Jiang Heng Group and asked the front desk for the floor address of the purchasing department. He then took the elevator to the purchasing department. Along the way, he was already shocked by Jiang Heng's interior decoration.

Before entering the building, the complex glass curtain wall outside makes people stop and marvel. Unexpectedly, the interior decoration is more like a modern art palace. The perfect fusion of minimalist lines and high-tech materials gives people an ethereal and futuristic atmosphere.

Even Lu Xiaoqiao, who knew nothing about architecture, secretly admired the design, saying it was so ingenious and better than he could imagine.

As soon as she stepped into the purchasing department, Lu Xiaoqiao saw a woman wearing glasses walking towards her.

"Hello! Are you from Chenxin Clothing Company here to discuss purchasing matters?"

"Hello! I'm Lu Xiaoqiao, Chenxin's sales representative."

Lu Xiaoqiao hurriedly introduced herself. She thought that after she registered at the front desk, they must have notified the purchasing department and even sent someone to receive her.

The woman nodded: "My last name is Li, and I'm Mr. Qian's secretary."

Secretary Li didn't say anything else and led Lu Xiaoqiao to the manager's office. Before they went in, a woman with big wavy hair and sexy clothes walked out.

When she reached Lu Xiaoqiao, she paused, looked her up and down, snorted, and walked away with her slender waist twisted.

Lu Xiaoqiao: "?"

Secretary Li knocked on the office door twice: "Mr. Qian, the people from Chenxin Clothing are here."

"Come in!" A man's voice came from inside.

Secretary Li turned sideways and raised his hand to signal Lu Xiaoqiao that she could come in, then turned and left.

When Lu Xiaoqiao stepped into the office, he saw a middle-aged man in his early forties with a slightly plump figure sitting on the sofa in the office.

Lu Xiaoqiao briefly introduced herself. Mr. Qian was not arrogant like other leaders. Instead, he warmly invited Lu Xiaoqiao to sit down and talk.

Mr. Qian's enthusiasm, combined with the sexy woman he met at the door just now, made Lu Xiaoqiao feel a little uneasy, thinking that Mr. Qian might be a lustful person.

But after sitting down, Lu Xiaoqiao found that the distance between them was the maximum limit of the sofa, and she breathed a sigh of relief. So she regarded his enthusiasm as just politeness.

I introduced the design patterns I brought this time to Mr. Qian one by one. I talked for a long time and my saliva was almost dry, but the person on the other side just smiled and nodded without saying a word.

It can be seen that Mr. Qian is obviously satisfied with Chenxin's design, probably because Chenxin is not an international brand.

It’s not good for the client to be too rich, as he has enough funds to make people hate him.

"Mr. Qian, although Chenxin is not an international brand, we have been established for more than ten years. We have our own design team and factory. Your company has given us a generous timeline this time. Many companies may find it difficult to meet your quantity requirements in such a short period of time. However, we can not only meet your requirements on time, but also maintain product quality."

After listening to Lu Xiaoqiao's words, Mr. Qian still nodded and smiled, but this time he finally spoke.

"I know that. If it weren't for the time issue, our company wouldn't have gone through the normal bidding process this time. You saw it when you came in just now! That woman from Jinxin Company is also in the same industry as you. She just came to me again. It's this kind of ordinary deal that's the most difficult for me to handle. Look, our company plus the president's technology company are so big, with so many people and different perspectives. If I make a decision and there are many people who oppose it, don't you think I'll be under pressure? I have to leave myself a way out!"

I understand. This is a hint to myself that I need a kickback. One of the reasons why Lu Xiaoqiao doesn't like sales is this problem. She likes "simple" people, "simple" things, and the pure feeling between people.

Things have come to this point, and no matter how much Lu Xiaoqiao dislikes it, she has to fight to return to the design team.

"I understand. What you mean is..." Lu Xiaoqiao had no experience in sales of such a large amount of money. He had usually encountered people who wanted some kickbacks, but the Mr. Qian in front of him was not someone who could be dealt with with a few shopping cards and cash coupons, or a red envelope of a few thousand yuan.

Mr. Qian took a sip of water from the cup on the coffee table, glanced out the office window and at the door, then leaned back on the sofa and said nonchalantly, "What I mean is that it depends on your sincerity. When issuing the invoice..."

Mr. Qian didn't say anything else, but Lu Xiaoqiao understood what he meant. He wanted to issue false invoices to gain greater benefits for himself. She really admired his courage. He dared to do such an illegal thing as issuing false invoices, and for such a large amount, and he did it in Jiang Heng, a company that was famous for its strict requirements for employees.

Lu Xiaoqiao didn't reject him immediately. Instead, she pretended to think for a moment and replied, "Mr. Qian, I really can't make the decision on this. How about this? Let's exchange contact information. I'll go back and report this to our manager, and then contact you."

"Okay, the next company I have an appointment with is coming up soon. Let's add each other on WeChat. Go back and think about it. I have several alternative companies. I wanted to give you a chance because we are neighbors. It's up to you whether you can seize the opportunity or not."

The two added each other on WeChat. Lu Xiaoqiao said goodbye to Manager Qian and sighed deeply after leaving Jiang Heng.

Lu Xiaoqiao felt that he had no chance to return to the design department. Issuing false invoices was illegal and there would be no good consequences if he was caught.

Based on her understanding of her uncle-in-law, although he can be cunning and stingy at times, he would never touch anything illegal. In her aunt's words, both of them came from rural areas and suffered a lot when they first started their business. They know how hard it is to have their current life. It is said that starting a business is easy but difficult to maintain it, because the profit will cost everything in front of you, so you should just live within your means.

After returning to the company and reporting the incident to Manager Cai, Manager Cai was surprised and said, "Fake invoices? Is he crazy? If such a large amount of money is discovered, not only will he be sued, but we will also be sued."

"Then I'll ask him later if it's okay to not change the price list and give him a normal kickback. It may be a little less, but it's better than nothing. He wants so much, I guess few companies would take the risk."

"Don't worry. I just received a call from the factory saying that due to power restrictions, many sand washing plants are not accepting orders. Our own sand washing plant will not accept any external orders starting today. As a result, many outsourcing companies will automatically give up."

"So we still have a chance, that's great!"

Lu Xiaoqiao originally thought there was no hope, but after hearing what Manager Cai said, she felt more hopeful.

After coming out of Manager Cai’s office, my heart was filled with joy like the waves of the ocean, and the corners of my mouth couldn’t help but rise.

Arriving at the workstation, Lin Lin glanced at the happy Lu Xiaoqiao and said, "Didn't you go to discuss the group purchase? Why are you back so soon? Look at your expression. Did you get the deal done?"

"How could it be that easy? If it were that easy, I'd start to doubt whether you'd actually gone to your uncle for help. I'm putting this on hold. If you go to your uncle for help on this matter, I'll cut off all ties with you."

Lu Xiaoqiao still hasn't gotten used to the fact that her best friend suddenly became the daughter of a wealthy family. She doesn't want their friendship to be tainted by worldly grime because of the word "rich".

"Yeah, don't tell me. I promise I won't look for my uncle."

Before Lin Lin met Lu Xiaoqiao, all the so-called "friends" she made were deliberately trying to get close to her because Zhou Qi was her uncle.

Only Lu Xiaoqiao "rejected" her because of this identity. The more this happened, the more Lin Lin felt that Lu Xiaoqiao was a friend worth making close friends with, and she wanted to be Lu Xiaoqiao's best friend for life.

"That's great. I'm going to treat Jiajie and Momo to dinner tonight. You can come too. We'll choose a place nearby."

I was originally going to treat my roommate to dinner yesterday to celebrate her housewarming, but I also had to prepare pictures and materials for the group purchase discussion with Jiang Heng today, so I couldn't go due to time constraints. So I decided to have the dinner tonight after get off work.
