Chapter 7

Lu Xiaoqiao arrived at Jiangheng Group and asked the front desk for the floor address of the purchasing department. Then she took the elevator to the purchasing department. On the way up, she was already shocked by the interior decoration of Jiangheng.

Before entering the building, the complex glass curtain wall outside made 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 doesn’t know much about architecture, secretly sighed in her heart that this design is simply ingenious and beyond imagination.

As soon as she stepped into the door of 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 am Lu Xiaoqiao, a salesperson from Chenxin.”

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

The woman nodded: “My last name is Li, and I’m Mr. Qian’s secretary.” 🅆𝕎🅆.𝙑𝕆𝓓𝕋🆆1.🄲𝘾

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

When she walked to Lu Xiaoqiao, she paused, looked Lu Xiaoqiao up and down, said “Hmph!”, and walked away with her slender waist.

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 raised his hand to indicate that Lu Xiaoqiao could come in and turned to leave.

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

Lu Xiaoqiao briefly introduced himself. This Mr. Qian was not arrogant like other leaders. Instead, he enthusiastically 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 would not be a lecher.

But after sitting down, he found that the distance between the two was the maximum limit of the sofa, and Lu Xiaoqiao was relieved again, so he only regarded his enthusiasm as politeness.

He introduced the design patterns he brought this time to Mr. Qian one by one. After talking for a long time, his saliva was almost dry, but the person opposite just smiled and nodded, and did not speak.

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 the funds are so abundant that people hate him.

“Mr. Qian, although our Chenxin is not an international brand, the company has been established for more than ten years. We have our own design team and factory. Your company is not too lenient in terms of time this time. Many companies may not be able to meet your quantity requirements in a short period of time. We can not only meet the requirements in time, but also the quality of our products will not be reduced.”

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

“I know this. If it weren’t for the time problem, our company would not have carried out the ordinary bidding process this time. You saw it when you came in just now! That woman from Jinxin’s company is also in the same industry as you. She came to me again just now. It is this kind of ordinary transaction that makes me most difficult to deal with. You see, our company plus the president’s technology company are so large in number, and there are many people with different perspectives. If I decide to do it, there will be many people who oppose it. Don’t you think I will be under pressure? I have to leave a way out for myself!”

I understood that this was a hint for me to get a kickback. One of the reasons why Lu Xiaoqiao didn’t like sales was because of this. She liked “simple” people, “simple” things, and the pure feeling between people.

Things had come to this point. No matter how much Lu Xiaoqiao didn’t like it, she had to fight for it in order to return to the design team.

“I understand, then what do you mean…” Lu Xiaoqiao had no experience in sales of such a large amount of money. She had met people who wanted a kickback before, but the Mr. Qian in front of her was not like the usual one who could be dealt with with a few shopping cards and cash coupons, or a red envelope of a few thousand yuan.

President Qian picked up the cup on the coffee table and took a sip of water. He glanced out the window and the door of the office, then leaned back on the sofa and said nonchalantly: “What I mean is that it mainly depends on your sincerity. When issuing the invoice…”

President Qian did not say anything else, but Lu Xiaoqiao understood what he meant. He wanted to issue a false invoice to gain greater benefits for himself. She really admired his courage. He dared to do such an illegal thing as issuing a false invoice, and for such a large amount of money, and he was in Jiang Heng, which was always famous for its strict requirements on employees.

Lu Xiaoqiao did not reject him immediately, but pretended to think for a moment and said, “Mr. Qian, I really can’t make the decision on this. How about this? Let’s leave contact information. I’ll go back and report this to our manager, and then contact you.”

“Okay, the next company I’m going to meet is coming soon. Let’s add WeChat. You go back and think about it quickly. I have several alternative companies. I want to give you a chance because our company is a neighbor. It’s up to you whether you can grasp it or not.”

The two added WeChat, and Lu Xiaoqiao said goodbye to Manager Qian. After leaving Jiang Heng, he sighed deeply.

Lu Xiaoqiao felt that he had no chance to return to the design department. Falsifying invoices is illegal and will not end well if found out. 𝙬𝕎🆆.𝕍𝙤𝔻𝙩𝕎1.𝙘🄲Based on her understanding of her uncle-in-law, although he can be cunning and stingy sometimes, he will never touch anything illegal. In the words of her aunt, both of them came from rural areas. They suffered a lot when they first started their business and knew how hard it is to live like this. It is said that it is easy to start a business but difficult to keep it, because the interests will put everything you have into it, so you should eat as much as you can.

After returning to the company and reporting what happened to Manager Cai, Manager Cai was surprised and said, “False invoices? Is he crazy? Once such a large amount is found out, not to mention him, we will also be sued.”

“Then I will ask him later if we can give him some kickbacks as normal instead of changing the quotation sheet. It is better to give him a little less than normal. He wants so much, and I guess few companies will take the risk.”

“Don’t worry. The factory just called and said that many sand washing plants will not accept orders due to power restrictions. Our own sand washing plant will not accept external orders from today. As a result, many outsourcing companies will automatically give up.”

“So we still have a chance, great!”

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

After coming out of Manager Cai’s office, she felt joyful like the waves of the sea, and the corners of her mouth could not help but rise.

Arriving at the workstation, Lin Lin glanced at the happy Lu Xiaoqiao: “Didn’t you go to discuss the group purchase? How come you’re back so soon? Look at your expression, did you make it?”

“How could it be that easy? If it was that easy, I would have to doubt whether you really asked your uncle for help. I’m telling you, if you ask your uncle for help on this matter, I’ll break up with you.”

Lu Xiaoqiao still hasn’t adapted to the fact that her friend suddenly became a rich girl. She doesn’t want their friendship to be tainted by the worldly dust because of the word “rich”.

“Yeah, well, I won’t say it. I promise I won’t ask my uncle for help.”

Before Lin Lin met Lu Xiaoqiao, all the so-called “friends” she made were deliberately approaching her because Zhou Qi was her uncle. Only

Lu Xiaoqiao “rejected” her because of this identity. The more so, the more Lin Lin felt that Lu Xiaoqiao was a friend worth making friends with, and she wanted to be Lu Xiaoqiao’s best friend for life.

“That’s great. I’m going to invite Jiajie and Momo to dinner tonight. You can come too. We’ll choose a place nearby.” She was originally going to invite her roommate to dinner yesterday to celebrate her housewarming, but she also had to prepare pictures and materials for the group purchase she discussed with Jiang Heng today. Time was tight and she couldn’t go, so she decided to go tonight after work.
