The more Li Rui looked at her, the more he fell in love with her. He almost couldn't believe that this beautiful woman with extraordinary looks and temperament was already his woman. He whispered to her, "The clothes you chose are really tasteful, but it's too formal. If you changed it into a black one-step dress, it would be even more charming."
Ding Yijing narrowed her eyes and looked at him impatiently. She then looked up at the door and whispered, "You've already seen me. Before the bank's leaders come, you should hurry up and leave." Why are you sitting here? "Li Rui smiled and said," I'm here to discuss business with you. "Ding Yijing said in annoyance," There's no need, hurry up … "
Before she could finish, there was a knock on the door. A middle-aged man in his forties with a big belly and an ordinary appearance, wearing a shirt and trousers, pushed open the door and walked in. Ding Yijing didn't dare to say anything else. She quickly shut her mouth and stood up.
The man did not expect that the director of the engraving factory would be such a young and beautiful fashionable woman. The moment he saw Ding Yijing, he was stunned. His small eyes flashed with amazement, and he quickly laughed and walked towards her. His right hand had already reached out, and he repeatedly apologized: "Aiya, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I made you wait for so long. You must be the director of the Guhua Engraving Factory that Old Shen introduced, right? Hehe, hello, hello, I really did not expect that the director of such a professional wood engraving factory would actually be such a young and beautiful lady, hehe."
Ding Yijing had already put on a smile and shook his hand, "Hello, Director Zhao. I'm sorry to disturb your work. I'm Ding Yijing, the director of the Old Hua Mahogany Carving Factory. Please take care of me, Director Zhao."
Director Zhao held her slender white hand and shook it a few times, but didn't let go. He smiled and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome. Old Shen introduced you, so you're not an outsider. There's no need to be so polite … Oh, why didn't I get you some water? These people are getting more and more overboard. They don't even know the rules of hospitality. Factory Manager Ding, please take a seat. I'll ask someone to get you some water. You must be thirsty after waiting for so long. Drink some water first and then we can talk business. Haha. "Although he said so, he still held Ding Yijing's hand and did not move.
Ding Yijing said, "You're welcome, Manager Zhao. I'm not thirsty. Hehe." After saying that, she calmly withdrew her hand and took out a business card from her bag. She held it with both hands and handed it over.
Manager Zhao also took it with both hands and casually glanced at it. He smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Please take a seat, please take a seat. Let's sit down and talk." After saying that, he noticed Li Rui sitting next to her and asked, "This is?"
Li Rui stood up, smiled and handed his hand to him, saying, "Hello, Manager Zhao. I'm Factory Manager Ding's subordinate, the sales consultant of the factory. Please take care of me in the future."
The smile on Manager Zhao's face faded a little, but he still smiled and shook hands with him. However, he did not reply. Obviously, he was just going through the motions. Then, he walked around the table and sat opposite Ding Yijing, saying, "Factory Manager Ding, Old Shen has already mentioned your intention to me. I do intend to redecorate the VIP service room in the business hall, and it will be put on the agenda soon. However, I haven't thought about how to decorate it, what style of furniture to choose, and what price of furniture to use. However, as long as I confirm these matters, the manager will usually agree. After all, he usually thinks highly of me as the first deputy manager. "
Ding Yijing smiled and said, "Is that so? That's great. I've found the right manager. I still have to rely on your care."
Manager Zhao waved his hand and said with a smile, "Since we can sit together, we're not outsiders. Don't always call me 'you'. It's too formal, isn't it? Besides, I'm not much older than you. We're of the same generation. What's there to be afraid of if you call me 'you'? I won't be picky. As for me, I won't call you Factory Manager Ding. I'll call you Xiao Ding, okay? "
Li Rui secretly sneered at the side. As the first deputy manager of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China's Northern District Branch, this Manager Zhao could be regarded as the number one person in the Northern District of the city. However, he took the initiative to curry favor with Ding Yijing, a little girl with no fame or power. Even a fool would know what he was thinking, but he would definitely not succeed. He did not need to lower himself to the same level as him. He could just sit aside and watch the show.
Ding Yijing smiled and said, "Of course, you … Haha, it's you, Manager Zhao. You can call me Xiao Ding."
Manager Zhao saw that she was tactful and was very happy. He said arrogantly, "To be honest, although I haven't seen the products of your factory, I know that your products are definitely not bad when I see you as the factory manager. I'm very interested …"
Ding Yijing listened to him and took out a beautiful brochure from her bag. She stood up and handed it to him, saying, "Manager Zhao, this is the brochure of our carving factory's current products. However, it's not all of them. Moreover, our factory also has the ability to design and produce according to customer's needs. We can accept custom-made orders."
Manager Zhao took it in his hand and casually flipped through a few pages. He nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad at all. I want to see it in person." After he finished speaking, he looked up at Ding Yijing and said with a smile, "Xiao Ding, can you arrange a time for me to visit your factory in person? Stay with me and introduce them to me. If your factory's products really meet the needs of the VIP service room, I don't mind making the decision immediately. "
Ding Yijing was very happy. She nodded and said, "No problem, I can take you to visit the factory at any time."
Manager Zhao was a little surprised and said, "Is that so?" After he finished speaking, he looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time for lunch. We don't have much time in the morning. How about this, Xiao Ding? Let's go for lunch first. I'll treat you. After lunch, you can take me around your factory, okay?"
Ding Yijing hurriedly said, "How can I let you treat me? If anyone is treating, it should be me … "
Manager Zhao smiled and waved his hand. He stood up and said, "It's the same no matter who treats. We're all friends in the future. Let's go and eat first. " After he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Rui and turned to look at Ding Yijing and said with a smile, "Xiao Ding, you see, as the factory director, you've already taken me down. This salesman you brought is useless. Hehe, shouldn't you ask him to go back first?"
Li Ruixin secretly cursed him for being a beast. He knew that Manager Zhao wanted to send him away so that he could have some private space with Ding Yijing. He wanted to unscrupulously carry out all kinds of improper thoughts on this beautiful factory director. He really wanted to give Manager Zhao a big slap and tell him fiercely, "I'm not leaving. I want to stay by our factory director's side. I want to see your dirty tricks." But he could only think about it. He couldn't really do it. Otherwise, Ding Yijing's business would be ruined.
Ding Yijing also guessed Manager Zhao's thoughts. But now that she was here to ask him to take care of her business, she couldn't reject him in public. She could only try her best to follow his wishes within the bottom line. She said to Li Rui, "Then you can go back first." She stood up as she spoke.
Li Rui sighed helplessly and looked at her deeply. He stood up and said, "Okay, factory director. I'll go back first."
Manager Zhao ignored him. He walked to the door and opened it. He smiled and waved his hand at Ding Yijing and said, "Xiao Ding, beauty first."
Ding Yijing forced a smile at him and walked out. Manager Zhao followed closely behind, ignoring Li Rui behind him.
Li Rui sighed inwardly. He opened the door and walked out. He thought to himself that he had bought this carving factory for Ding Yijing with the intention of finding a job for her so that she wouldn't be bored out of her mind. But he didn't expect that by doing so, he would push her into the colorful dye vat of society and make her face the various dark sides of society. Now, for the sake of her business, she had to endure all kinds of oppression from the client, Manager Zhao. This was just the beginning. In order to get her, Manager Zhao would probably make things difficult for her. In short, he would use both the carrot and the stick, coercion and bribery, just to get her body. As a man, seeing his woman being bullied by another man with his own eyes was really infuriating.
What made him even more aggrieved was that he could obviously stop this from happening, but he couldn't do anything to stop it. Otherwise, it would be a small matter if the business failed, but it might hurt Ding Yijing's strong self-esteem. Moreover, she also needed this kind of experience to improve her business skills and social skills. If he protected her too carefully, it would slow down her growth in the business world and at the same time, it would make her feel disgusted. Sigh, he could only endure it. The only consolation was that Manager Zhao wouldn't have his way with her. Her pride and coldness would never be known by a man who didn't know her well.
Li Rui suddenly felt that Ding Yijing was the perfect "three-hearted" wife — he would be happy when he saw her, his friends would be moved when they saw her, and he would be at ease no matter where she was!
In the corridor outside, Manager Zhao and Ding Yijing walked in front while Li Rui lagged behind. The three of them walked towards the staircase in a clear order. When they reached the staircase, they saw two men walking from the opposite corridor. One of them was around fifty years old and was short and fat. The other was around thirty-five years old and was thin. The two of them walked side by side. The short and fat man walked in front and waved his hand to guide the thin man from time to time. He seemed to be very respectful to him.
When Manager Zhao saw the short and fat man walking towards him, he hurriedly stopped and greeted him, "Manager."
The short and fat man looked up and saw that it was Manager Zhao. He just nodded his head as a greeting. He turned his head and smiled at the thin man, "Director Feng, this way down the stairs. Please walk slowly!"
The thin man acted as if he didn't hear anything. He just smiled and looked at Li Rui opposite him.
Li Rui also recognized him at this time. Although there was a smile on his face, he secretly complained in his heart, "It's over, it's over. I can't hide my identity anymore."
The thin man was none other than his old friend, Feng Jun. He was the secretary of Du Minsheng, the secretary-general of the Municipal Party Committee.
