Chapter 770 Can’t Refuse
Director Huo’s Jim sedan was just replaced by a joint venture Santana this year, and it was parked across the road from Maxim’s Restaurant.
The heater in this new car is very comfortable, and people are not cold at all when sitting inside.
Especially the two seats in the front row are undoubtedly the warmest because the heater air outlets are right in front of you.
However, Peng Yuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat at this time, was not in the mood to enjoy it at all, but was becoming more and more anxious.
For no other reason than because he looked at his watch frequently, ten minutes had passed, but Ning Weimin hadn't appeared yet.
This made him worry that the leader's patience would be exhausted.
Fortunately at this moment, Ning Weimin’s figure in a coat finally appeared across the road outside the car window.
Peng Yuan suddenly relaxed, quickly opened the car door and walked out, waving to him across the road.
However, when Ning Weimin really crossed the road and came closer, Peng Yuan looked him up and down and couldn't help but be surprised
Because he found that Ning Weimin's demeanor and temperament were actually very different from when he was in the office just now.
Not to mention the lack of fear and trepidation.
And he looked very calm, and he clearly had a backbone, as if he was a completely different person.
In Peng Yuan's view, Ning Weimin is undoubtedly still very young and can return to normal through self-adjustment in such a short period of time.
Whether it is true or pretended, it is something that is not easy to do and is enough to impress people.
So unconsciously, his attitude towards Ning Weimin became much more polite, and he even opened the rear door for Ning Weimin with his own hands.
Following that, Peng Yuan knocked on the front door window, made another gesture, and called out the driver in the driver's seat.
It's a pity that precisely because of his actions, Ning Weimin clearly realized how much Director Huo cared about this meeting.
You know, it is too cold today. If it were not for the actual needs of the leader, why would Peng Yuan do this?
So don’t look at Director Huo in the car at this time. He is holding a document and looking at it intently, with a completely indifferent attitude.
But Ning Weimin, who is good at understanding people's hearts, has seen through it.
This is just a deliberate gesture.
Director Huo is obviously deliberately creating a sense of oppression through this method.
Ning Weimin is not stupid, so naturally he will not give in and just get into the car.
I looked up at Peng Yuan and the driver, who were breathing heavily from their mouths and noses, and immediately had an idea.
Then he lowered his waist and began to pretend to be a good person, and asked for their lives.
"Director Huo, I'm here. If you have any orders, I will listen attentively. But the weather is too cold and your entourage is so cold. I can't bear it. Should you let them go to Maxi?" "Why don't you take a rest? It's very convenient to have a sip of hot tea."
These words are purely unintentional on the part of the listener and intentional on the part of the speaker.
As we all know, whether it is giving gifts or treating guests, you can gain favor and favor.
But the most troublesome thing for gift givers is that the other party is unwilling to accept or refuses strictly.
Even if you decline the gift politely or send it back afterwards, the gift-giver will be very embarrassed.
Think about it, the money has been spent but the love has not been settled, the chicken has been stolen but the rice has been lost, the wife has been lost and the army has been lost, the worst thing is this.
So in the social field, how to nip problems in the bud and get them right is the most technical job that tests people's IQ and EQ.
At the moment, Ning Weimin’s hand was steady, accurate and ruthless.
He cleverly grasped the point of "being considerate", making it impossible for Director Huo to refuse.
Think about it, it's freezing cold, and the subordinates are waiting outside the car to protect the leader's privacy.
How much of a sacrifice is that? What does it feel like?
It’s okay if there are no conditions. Since there are conditions, it is obvious that you can avoid freezing. As a leader, you can’t feed a man and not know how hungry he is.
As expected, this suggestion made it impossible for Director Huo to continue reading the document in his hand
He frowned and looked at his two subordinates outside the car, whose noses were red from the cold and who were shrinking their hands. .
There is really no way to say the word "no".
In this way, Ning Weimin’s clever little plan succeeded.
With Director Huo's approval, he turned around and waved, calling the doorman in red concierge uniform at the entrance of Maxim Restaurant and asked him to lead the two guests into the restaurant to rest.
For this result, driver Xiao Li is undoubtedly very happy.
To be honest, he has long wanted to see a famous high-end place like Maxim.
What's more, although Ning Weimin said it simply, he drank hot tea.
But everyone who followed the leader understood what was going on. At least they had food and drink.
So when he left, he smiled and nodded to Ning Weimin to express his gratitude.
Although Peng Yuan remained calm, Ning Weimin could also see it in his eyes.
The secretary is also not averse to resting in a comfortable place.
On the other hand, the only person who would really feel awkward is Director Huo.
Because "eating people has a short mouth and taking people with short hands", whether he is willing or not, he has to accept the favor now.
Then he was undoubtedly passive in the following conversation.
At least the attitude towards Ning Weimin, if you still have a stern look like the black-faced Mr. Bao wants to use a guillotine, it will appear to be a lack of self-restraint.
I have to say that Ning Weimin's method of giving favors is indeed clever, but it is also not enough for his grandson.
He clearly knows that people are not willing to accept it, but he still gives them things that they have to accept, causing people to suffer. "Although we have only met briefly, we should know who each other is. Needless to say the polite words. I am looking for you just to find out one thing. What is the relationship between you and my daughter? What's going on? I hope you can tell me honestly."
But having said that, although Director Huo's expression has softened, his tone is still serious and the questions he asks are more serious. It's sharp.
Ning Weimin suddenly faced a face-to-face questioning from such a senior official whom he had never had contact with before, and felt extremely nervous.
To be honest, I really can’t hold my breath anymore.
Although he had expected that most of today's conversation would be about Huo Xin.
But I never expected that Director Huo would go straight to the point and come to investigate.
Although the problem between him and Huo Xin was nothing, at most it was just a matter of fate.
But the problem is that Huo Xin's father has probably asked other people a long time ago, obviously with personal subjective emotions.
If someone else said something slanderous about him, such as Huo Xin's aunt, the problem would be complicated.
The most important thing is that Huo Xin doesn't know what's going on now.
Don’t be afraid of anything, this girl is the only one who won’t let you go.
With her kind of temperament, it’s not impossible to find someone to blame.
If she insists on being bullied and cries in front of her father, then the problem will be huge.
So, he really couldn't take it seriously, and it was even necessary to clarify it for himself to avoid causing greater misunderstandings.
"Director Huo, in fact, there is no complicated relationship between Huo Xin and I. We are just ordinary friends and colleagues. Our daily contacts with Huo Xin, whether at work or in private, are normal. Colleagues in my company are You can vouch for me. I don’t know if you have heard something bad about me. I don’t care what other people say about me. After all, people have different perspectives and will always have different perspectives. Affected by some other factors, they only believe the facts they want to believe..."
But his opening remarks, which were intended to whitewash himself, were of no use at all.
Director Huo is a veteran in negotiating. He wants something real, so he was interrupted with a look.
"You don't need to pay attention to what others have said. I'm here just to listen to what you have to say. As long as you don't avoid the important and ignore the light, deliberately conceal it, and state the facts truthfully. There is no need for you to worry about anything. I believe that I can still He has the ability to distinguish what is a lie and what is the truth."
Ning Weimin was choked up and couldn't help but swallowed hard.
Director Huo really taught him what the spirit of a high-ranking person is.
It was as if he was facing an air-absorbing machine that could plunder all the air within a few kilometers.
There is no angry glare, nor cold eyebrows, but these few words are still sonorous and powerful, making people's hearts beat.
"Yes, to be honest, I never expected that you would come to me in person today. I know how precious your time is, and I can also understand your emotions as a father. Since If you want to hear it from my own mouth, then I promise you that I will tell you the truth."
In this way, Ning Weimin did not dare to talk about it anymore, and soon he and Huo Xin got to know each other. The process has been described.
In fact, there were not too many twists and turns and grudges between him and Huo Xin. At most, the initial acquaintance was quite dramatic.
The original cause was an unexpected traffic accident in Wangfujing.
Ning Weimin was once regarded as a hooligan who deliberately caused mischief because he hit Huo Xin while riding his bicycle.
In addition, what is more of a "coincidence" is the meeting at Pierre Cardin Company.
Huo Xin came to Pierre Cardin Company for an internship just a few days after Ning Weimin joined the company. Song Huagui directly assigned Huo Xin to Ning Weimin as his assistant.
Other than that, what happened next was normal.
Whether it was working together at Zhai Palace or opening a Jiangu Hotel franchise store, Huo Xin became the store manager.
It was through work contacts that they became familiar with each other and gradually became friends.
What's more, Ning Weimin is too busy, which means that their personal relationship is not deep.
At most, they had dinner together, and Ning Weimin had met a few of Huo Xin's friends.
In fact, it was precisely because Ning Weimin and Huo Xin's friends were not on the same page that serious conflicts arose.
This affected the relationship between the two of them and caused them to have serious differences. In the end, they were no longer even ordinary friends and could only become passers-by.
All in all, it is really a bit reluctant for the two of them to rely on the relationship between men and women.
It can only be said that they had a good impression of each other for a while. After all, it has not reached the point of breaking through the window paper.
So when Ning Weimin came to the end, he had become more and more confident, thinking that he had been wronged.
However, after all this was said, Director Huo did not make any statement.
Even if Ning Weimin raised his eyes and stared, he couldn't see anything from the other person's face.
There was neither approval nor criticism. Director Huo just continued to stare at him with a calm gaze. This was what made people feel guilty the most.
So gradually, Ning Weimin became less confident and couldn't help but start to think about whether there were any loopholes in his statement.
As a result, he hasn't figured it out yet.
Director Huo spoke again, "Is this what you want to say? Do you have such a clear conscience?"
The last sentence immediately hit his mark.
"Let me ask you, did Huo Xin help you buy a batch of calligraphy and paintings? Why didn't you mention this? According to you, you were just ordinary colleagues at the time, right? Do you think she helped you do it? Is this normal?”
