Chapter 392 Extraordinary Talent
As expected, although Qu Xiao was frightened half to death by his parents’ glances, it was just a false alarm.
The resentment her parents showed did not last long.
After only venting for a short while, I was under self-control and quickly calmed down.
As for the reason why they are so tolerant, it is very different from their performance last night. There are no more than two reasons.
Firstly, it is because Ning Weimin has performed very well since he entered the school and has successfully won the favor of Qu Xiao's parents.
Especially after admitting his mistake, Ning Weimin did not defend himself.
He just repeatedly emphasized that he understood the mood of Qu Xiao's parents and deeply regretted his original behavior.
So Qu Xiao’s parents couldn’t bear to see him being so sincere and heartbroken.
Even they themselves felt that it would be disrespectful to continue to be so unwilling.
Secondly, as adults, Qu Xiao's parents actually knew very well that it was too late to say anything at this point.
There is no point in complaining at the moment. The most important thing is to solve the actual problem.
How to solve it?
They have no clue at the moment.
The only thing that is certain is that since Ning Weimin is a senior employee of Pierre Carton, he is specifically responsible for negotiating this matter on behalf of the company.
They will inevitably have to continue dealing with him and need his advice and cooperation.
So from a pragmatic point of view, it is not good to push people too hard and make the relationship tense.
In short, I have to admit that Ning Weimin planned well and these steps were well laid out.
Only in this way can Qu Xiao’s parents stay rational and use the greatest degree of restraint and patience to solve the problem.
But so far, Ning Weimin still couldn't get to the point.
Because he still lacked a very important step to gain the true trust of Qu Xiao's parents and create the most favorable situation for him to finally convince them.
What he has to do next is to use easy-to-understand descriptions and try to popularize common knowledge about the clothing modeling industry to Qu Xiao’s parents as concisely as possible.
Introduce the establishment of Pierre Carton and its business in the Republic.
And talk about the various situations of Quxiao training and performance in detail.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this matter may be thought to be insignificant. Ning Weimin just took off his pants and farted in a superfluous manner.
But this idea is actually a big mistake.
Because these people must have never realized that the greatest distrust in any negotiation arises from the unequal amount of information.
If the information gap between the two parties is too large, the disadvantaged party will definitely be worried because it is in a disadvantageous situation.
It is tantamount to wishful thinking to reach a consensus without trying to eliminate the species state.
The party with inferior information will definitely worry that the party with advantage will take advantage of its ignorance, and will be full of worries and hesitate to move forward.
So how can we possibly reach an agreement?
This is the experience from Ning Weimin's previous life.
When he was working as a postal dealer in his previous life, once the market for postal currency cards was booming, many ordinary people would often come to ask about the market, wanting to get involved.
But these ordinary people do not have much professional knowledge, and almost all of them are models of greed and cowardice.
As time went by, Ning Weimin gradually mastered the method of dealing with these people, which was to pretend to be a good person and have good intentions.
Take the initiative to reveal small industry insiders to such customers, remind them what they should pay attention to in transactions, and how to avoid traps and losses.
This hand is very useful.
Since he could have said nothing, these people would naturally have a sense of trust because of his "honesty".
Then when it comes time to finally pay, who else can you turn to if you don’t turn to him?
To put it bluntly, he is destroying other people's traps, luring prey into his trap, and making others grateful.
In the same way, it is also appropriate to adopt this routine for Qu Xiao’s parents.
If Ning Weimin tells them a lot of relevant information, he will take the initiative to reduce the information gap between the two parties.
You can still successfully win people's trust through this move and achieve the same goal.
So no matter what Qu Xiao’s parents know or don’t know, no matter what they want to know or what they don’t want to know.
Ning Weimin knew everything and said everything.
Even if he doesn't just say it, he also provides verifiable methods and evidence.
For example, he brought some foreign pictorials from Zhai Palace.
Show Qu Xiao’s parents the style of foreign models and the attire of foreign upper classes.
At the same time, he also told them about the four major international fashion weeks and the high income of the world's top models.
As well as the trend of younger and younger people in the modeling industry, and the fierce competition in this industry abroad.
Ning Weimin also brought some domestic official media newspapers and reference news distributed nationwide.
Pointing to the relevant news above, let Qu Xiao’s parents understand the importance the country attaches to Pierre Carton’s investment in China.
Let them see how the clothing models were positively affirmed and evaluated by the official media, and what a sensational effect it caused among the people.
And by the way, explain the many prejudices and misunderstandings in society.
Ning Weimin even brought a photo of Qu Xiao and the nationally famous female leader of the Ministry of Textiles.
Let Qu Xiao's parents understand what an amazing role their daughter has played in international trade.
How much he is loved and valued by a big leader whose name is often mentioned in "News Network".
Ning Weimin also brought a group photo of the original model team members, backstage photos, and photos of the celebration banquet.
Point out to Qu Xiao’s parents one by one, which one is an athlete, which one has been an actor, and which one is a college student.
Which of them used to have very low self-esteem because they were too tall.
Who used to be unable to find a partner because of a poor family background or a poor job.
But now their lives are completely different. Everyone has become confident and beautiful, and they all have boyfriends with very good conditions.
Who else had to quit the modeling industry because they were too old and of average height, and were replaced by newcomers.
Then he started to talk about the other side of the glamorous life of the models.
For example, before going on stage, you have to undergo rigorous training and what kind of price you have to pay.
For another example, in order to stay in shape, I have to stay away from sweets, avoid greasy food, and exercise strict dietary restraint.
And after almost every performance, the model's feet will be injured...
That's it, everything is explained in detail. So in this eye-opening information, Ning Weimin achieved his goal subtly and unnoticed by others.
At this point, there is actually no need for him to defend anything openly or deliberately beautify anything.
These facts alone were enough to arouse Qu Xiao's parents to be moved and think about it, causing them to start weighing the pros and cons.
At least they have learned a few important points.
This industry is conducive to national construction, this industry is glamorous, and the development prospects of this industry are promising.
And this industry also requires talent and hard work, and it is not as simple as it seems.
Not everyone can do it if they want to, and not everyone can become famous for it.
The most important thing is that this industry is by no means a depravity that entertains people with sex, but an inspiration and leader that encourages people to become more and more beautiful.
Although most people still don’t understand it and don’t understand it.
But being a fashion model is definitely an upright act, which is beneficial to the country and society.
As for the problem of excessive clothing exposure, it is just a rare accidental phenomenon and a special situation caused by different national conditions.
Domestic clothing models actually do not need to expose their bodies very much, and they are definitely not human models like Pan Yuliang.
Being photographed like this by reporters is also due to lax control and lack of timely communication.
And these issues can be further coordinated and improved...
In this way, when the information was fully displayed, Ning Weimin was completely natural and launched the final verbal charge.
"Uncle, aunt, let me digress. I would like to ask, do you think Chen Jingrun and Nie Weiping are great people? Can they be called the national idols of our republic in the new era?"< br>
"Of course, his contributions and achievements are obvious to all. Chen Jingrun's Goldbach's conjecture caused a sensation in the mathematics world. Nie Weiping, as the main player who defeated the Japanese team this year, was awarded the highest rank in Go—— Jiuduan is also worthy of the name. They are all amazing.”
"Is there still any doubt about this? Their deeds have been publicized in newspapers for a long time. Haven't various units and schools organized studies."
Qu Xiao's parents answered without thinking.
Ning Weimin asked again, "Okay, then I would like to ask again, if possible. Do you want your daughter to become such a great person? Or do you hope that she will be willing to work in Chongwenmen Hotel forever? Front desk, a mediocre life?”
Suddenly, the topic turned to Qu Xiao.
Qu Xiao’s parents, including Qu Xiao himself, couldn’t help but be stunned.
"How can this be compared? What kind of contribution did Chen Jingrun and Nie Weiping make to the country?"
"This question is a bit far-fetched. There is no comparability at all. Chen Jingrun and Nie Weiping will suffer. Is it inappropriate to question?”
Soon, Qu Xiao’s parents began to express doubts and objections in unison.
But this time, Ning Weimin did not follow them and actually started to argue with them for the first time.
“Why can’t we compare? In terms of contribution, Qu Xiao is no less impressive. Just like Chen Jingrun was born for mathematics and Nie Weiping was born for Go, in my opinion, Qu Xiao is almost Just for fashion.”
"Please don't belittle yourselves. Why does the female leader of the Textile Department have to select Qu Xiao to perform on stage every time? Isn't it because the Textile Department found that as long as the clothes your daughters have displayed, they will not be sold in the international market. The order volume will surge like a tide."
"Please take a good look at her. Your daughter has such an outstanding image. No joke, she is already a clothing model. It has become an actual need for the country. Her performance on the stage not only brought foreign exchange to the Ministry of Textiles, but also opened a window for the Western world to understand the Republic. It was her style that made Europe realize the charm of Eastern silk."
Ning Weimin’s compliment was really unexpected.
In particular, he cleverly compared Qu Xiao with Chen Jingrun and Nie Weiping.
This kind of "psychological resonance" technique made Qu Xiao's parents either agree or disagree, and they felt extremely conflicted for a while.
Qu Xiao blushed at the praise and couldn't help but lower his head in embarrassment.
But this actually gave Ning Weimin an excuse to use the topic to his advantage, he pointed out deliberately.
"Xiaoqu, you must not bow your head. You need to be calm and you need to get used to it, because in the rest of your life, even if you don't do fashion models anymore, there will still be many people who will be fooled by you. Attractive in appearance, staring at you intently. You should become stronger and use the confidence you learned on the catwalk to live a relaxed life."
After that, he changed the topic. , once again fully encouraged Qu Xiao’s parents.
“Qu Xiao’s talent in appearance was given by you. She completely inherited the excellent genes of her parents. No matter how you think about fashion models now, can you forgive me? But at least you have to admit it. , I introduced Qu Xiao into this, is it absolutely correct in terms of vision?”
"As for doubts and controversies, in fact, to a certain extent, they are really unavoidable. Because people with outstanding abilities will always be criticized by others and bear the pressure of their own excellence. Even Chen Jingrun and Nie Weiping are the same."
"If you have seen the documentary report "Goldbach's Conjecture", you will definitely know that Chen Jingrun is obsessed with majors and has very poor living abilities. So if he hadn't achieved professional results, he would have What does he look like in the eyes of others? Doesn’t he let others talk behind his back?”
“Nie Weiping is even more like this. You may not know that this ninth-level master has been obsessed with playing chess since he was a child. He skipped school to play chess. He was often scolded by his parents and teachers since he was a child. But what about now? There are people with extraordinary talents, and geniuses exist. I really think Qu Xiao is a top talent in the modeling industry, and her efforts and achievements speak for themselves. She really shouldn't waste so many people. A coveted talent.”
“But on the other hand, wouldn’t Qu Xiao have attracted rumors if she didn’t become a model? I don’t think everyone desires beautiful appearance, but sometimes it’s too beautiful. It’s a sin. Rather than sitting back, I think it’s better to face it bravely.”
Qu Xiao's parents couldn't help but look at each other.
Before they spoke, Ning Weimin could already sense the softening of their hearts just from their expressions and eyes.
“That’s what I say, but after all, clothing models are easy to talk about but not nice to hear. Even if we as parents can understand our daughters, what will others think of us? People live in society and always have to worry about others. What if something like this happens again? We can’t explain it to our relatives and friends.”
“That’s right, no matter how good Qu Xiao is. So what? You said that only young girls are needed for fashion modeling. How long can she do it? I don’t think it’s a long-term career. After all, Chongwenmen Hotel belongs to the country. If you have an iron rice bowl, you can take care of her for the rest of your life."
To be honest, Ning Weimin was secretly relieved at this time.
Because at this point, there are no big obstacles emotionally and conceptually.
The final concerns of Qu Xiao’s parents were all practical and small problems. As long as these points can be explained, it can end perfectly.
"Uncle, auntie, I understand your concerns very much. But I have to say that although your concerns are necessary, they are indeed a bit overblown."
"Because of people's concepts It will change. As far as I know, the first batch of female shop assistants appeared in Wangfujing in the 16th year of the Republic of my country. After liberation, the majority of female comrades launched a special campaign to fight for the right to work and fight against discrimination. Also, starting last year, women changed the old tradition and changed their pants to open from the right side to the front.”
“At the time, none of these things were criticized by the world. Not bad. But now, don’t people still criticize these things? Even wearing bell-bottom pants, perming your hair, and wearing high heels are becoming more and more common.”
"I dare not say that the pressure you are currently under will be easy. But I am sure that you will feel more and more relaxed. Of course, the rational way to deal with it at the moment is to keep it confidential as much as possible. And if anyone criticizes it, I mean, You can take the photo of Qu Xiao and the leader to your work to show to your colleagues."
"Or when Qu Xiao has a performance, I will get some tickets and invite you and your relatives and friends. Let’s all go and have a look. I believe that anyone who has watched Qu Xiao’s performance and experienced the attitudes of foreign guests, leaders, and media at the scene will definitely have a new understanding of Qu Xiao’s career and be inspired by her performance. I'm proud of it."
"As for the career of modeling, I can't say how far it will go. It depends not only on personal conditions and continuous efforts, but also on luck. But I can at least guarantee something. , our company has plans to hold a model competition in China. Qu Xiao will also have the opportunity to perform abroad and win glory for the country."
"One more thing, you guys. You might as well think about it from another perspective. There is no long-term guarantee for models, but they are a high-income group abroad. The prospects in the clothing industry are also very broad. If Qu Xiao retires from the modeling team one day, she will also be an experienced teacher who can be used. Everything he has learned is used to train new models for the clothing industry.”
“Even the current domestic income is not bad. Qu Xiaoguang always earns three to four thousand yuan in foreign exchange coupons after performing. A person's annual income is only six to seven hundred, but Qu Xiao earns what others earn in six or seven years. Does she really need to rely on dead wages? ”
"Of course, she can find a way to maintain her job at the unit. If the time can be adjusted, she can still work part-time as she is now. If the time is not easy to coordinate, she can either take a leave or apply for a leave of absence without pay. It is a good guarantee, so that there is no way out, and we will not suffer any loss in the end.”
In this way, Qu Xiao’s parents can no longer express any objections. .
Ning Weimin's words made it seem as if if they didn't agree to his suggestion, they would be clinging to the past and lacking foresight.
You are simply trying to ruin Qu Xiao and you are irresponsible for your daughter’s life.
In fact, what is giftedness?
This boy is gifted with this mouth.
That is definitely a perfect fossil that can be dug out thousands of years later and still maintain the complete skeleton and teeth.
