Song Yuran followed Huo Qingzhi to the parking lot absent-mindedly, thinking about what party Huo Qingzhi was going to attend.

What impressed her the most must be that Huo Qingzhi was drugged by Chi Bizhen at the party, and then...

Now thinking of this possibility, my heart vomited with anger, my hands hanging by my sides unconsciously tightened, and I couldn't hold back, and asked, "Mr. Huo, what party are you going to?"

Huo Qingzhi paused, then walked forward again, and said with a smile: "You don't even know what party I'm going to, so you come with me?"

"Ang." Song Yuran said confidently: "What's the matter, I can drive your bag for you. Can't you have one more girl carrying bags?"

"Of course." Huo Qingzhi paused, and then said seriously: "It's a gathering in the industry, and I have a meal with the boss of the company I know."

"Oh~" Song Yuran quickly asked: "Is it the one on TV that talks about a million-dollar cooperation?!"

"Not really." Huo Qingzhi explained to her, "All I know are colleagues in the clothing business, mainly to communicate with each other about the latest developments in the industry, and to know in advance any new policies. Since they are all in the clothing business,Basically, there will be no business dealings, unless there are some special circumstances.”

"Even so, I have encountered two companies fighting against each other for the same foreign trade order."

"It's about plastic." Song Yuran thought for a moment and said, "That's right, why doesn't our company take external orders? Now our factory only makes clothes of our own brand. If we take other orders, we can earn more money."?"

"I heard that foreign trade clothing orders are very profitable!"

Huo Qingzhi shook his head: "It's not that simple. Foreign trade merchants generally have fixed manufacturers, and manufacturers know that they are big customers, so they won't offend them casually. Therefore, foreign trade companies rarely change cooperative manufacturers."

"Even if there are new foreign trade customers, they will choose a big factory to cooperate with, because the big factory will keep the price very low for the first time in order to retain customers."

Well, Song Yuran understood, that is, the foreign trade orders have already been snatched up by large companies before they reach small and medium-sized enterprises.

The meeting place is in a clubhouse. After nightfall, the signboard outside the clubhouse is golden, giving people a sense of nobility and luxury.

Just seeing the exquisite stone lions at the door, Song Yuran knew that this place was beyond his reach.

He looked down at his clothes, a simple t-shirt with a pair of suit pants, and the commuting clothes of ordinary workers.

He glanced at Huo Qingzhi again. He was wearing a light-colored satin dress. The waist was designed to make him taller and taller. Song Yu felt ashamed of himself for his innate temperament and high-end sense.

Looking at the guests entering and leaving the clubhouse, all of them are dressed in extraordinary and bright clothes, and she is dressed so casually. If she follows Huo Qingzhi to a peer party, will she be laughed at by those bosses?

Suddenly timid, Song Yuran stopped at the door.

Unconsciously grabbing the hem of the clothes with one hand, he said a little embarrassedly: "Well...Mr. Huo, I'd better wait for you in the car."

Huo Qingzhi had already walked up the steps. Hearing this, he stopped and turned to look at her: "Why?"

Song Yuran smiled awkwardly, twitching the corners of her mouth, "If I go in dressed like this, I will embarrass you."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to run away. Huo Qingzhi was able to catch her next move from her strange emotions. Before Song Yuran stepped forward, he calmly said, "If you dare to run, the bonus will be deducted."

Sure enough, Song Yuran's bent legs fell back to the ground, straightened, and slowly turned around, with a sad face, and said aggrievedly: "Mr. Huo..."

"I will take you to many occasions in the future, but if you hide now, what will you do in the future?"

Song Yuran wanted to say that he would face it later, at least he had to dress up well so as not to disappoint Mr. Huo's exquisite body.

But Huo Qingzhi had already stretched out his hand towards her, she didn't dare to say it, she could only stretch out her hand timidly, with the fingertips of her palm lightly resting on Huo Qingzhi's fingers.

"Why do you care about other people's eyes?" Huo Qingzhi said.

On other occasions, Song Yuran would not be afraid of going to the hotel for dinner even if she was wearing big pants and flip flops. Now it's just because of Huo Qingzhi, and she doesn't want her to be laughed at by other bosses because of her embarrassment.

She said in a small voice, "I'm afraid I'll embarrass you."

"I don't care." Huo Qingzhi raised her fingers, and Song Yuran's fingers were wrapped in her palm, "You only care about my feelings, and don't care about others."

She repeated: "I don't care how you dress."

Song Yu was stunned for a moment, raised his head reflexively, and a noun popped up in his mind.

Grass, overlord!

Song Yuran's emotion was written on his face, Huo Qingzhi smiled and said, "Can I go in now?"

"Jin Jin Jin!" Song Yuran pulled the person up the steps, President Huo didn't care anymore, did she still care about the wool?!

Just in time to meet the world.

The clubhouse was decorated very elegantly, with potted plants and flowers everywhere, but they walked a certain distance, and Song Yuran didn't see any private rooms except for a grand lobby, so she couldn't help being puzzled.

"Go this way." Soon after reaching a fork, Huo Qingzhi pulled her to the left.

On the left is a long corridor, like a road leading to the atrium. You can faintly hear the sound of running water, and soon you will see a rockery waterfall. Going forward is an artificial lake.

There is a small pavilion in the center of the artificial lake, and a trestle bridge extends out.

From a distance, Song Yuran could see the appearance of the artificial pavilion. A wooden bench was placed on each of the three sides. The dim lights in the pavilion were scattered on the water, making it very hazy and artistic.

Huo Qingzhi could clearly feel that Song Yuran was full of curiosity about everything around him, especially the gazebo, so he said, "I'll take you for a stroll after eating."

"Okay!"

When they entered the private room, a lot of people had already gathered inside, sitting around the big round table chatting, seeing Huo Qingzhi coming, they all joked: "Hey, isn't this our very busy Mr. Huo?"

"You haven't shown up for a while."

Huo Qingzhi smiled, and said politely: "The company is busy recently."

"Before winning the design competition champion, Watson has a lot of resources, right? If there is a good business, don't forget about us!"

"That's natural."

While talking, they also noticed that the person who followed Huo Qingzhi had his eyes on Song Yuran: "Who is this?"

"Wait, let me guess!" A boss stopped their voices, thought for a while, pointed to Song Yuran and said, "You are the designer of the champion piece, right! It's... Song... Yu, right?"?”

As soon as these words came out, all the eyes of the room fell on Song Yuran, and Song Yuran smiled embarrassingly at the many compliments.

"Yes." Huo Qingzhi smiled more intensely on the surface, and said with a smile: "Let me introduce formally, my secretary is also the company's second in command, Song Yuran."

"To be appreciated by Mr. Huo, Secretary Song is really young and promising!"

Although Huo Qingzhi had little contact with these bosses in private, once they moved to the stage, they all did a good job on the surface.

Dining chairs are counted according to the number of participants, no more, no less. For this reason, the party initiator specially asked the waiter to bring a chair.

Some bosses even took out their business cards. Song Yuran was flattered by the treatment, and took their business cards one by one.

When he saw the company name on one of the business cards, he frowned for a moment. It was one of the companies that wanted to poach her before.

Looking up again, couldn't tell who the owner of this business card was.

When everyone is here, the dishes are gradually being presented, and the topic is getting better.

Song Yuran didn't drink when he wanted to drive, and Huo Qingzhi couldn't refuse the routine toast, so he had a few drinks.

Those who attended the party were all medium-sized enterprises and below, and most of the chat content was complaining about the difficulty of doing business this year, but the topic suddenly fell on Huo Qingzhi for some reason.

"Mr. Huo, I heard that you Watson are going to fight with that...Pin Tao, it seems to be called this name, do you want to cooperate with them?"

"Yes."

Someone asked curiously: "What is this pintao?"

The other person waved his hand and said in a disdainful tone, "Hey, it's a shopping website that has only been established for a few months. It is said that it sells everything on it. I have never heard of it. I sent us a letter of intent for cooperation a long time ago.The front desk of our company didn’t even let him in.”

"Sent it to your company too?" The boss was surprised: "We also received it. I actually met with the person in charge. It sounds unreliable, and I didn't agree."

"That's right, we sell our own clothes on other platforms, and we charge them for free to attract traffic? Why don't we just sell them on our official website!"

After an in-depth chat, more than half of the Pintao team had submitted applications for cooperation, but the entire team was wiped out.

Except for Huo Qingzhi's Hua Sen, for a while, the gazes cast were a little more alien.

"Mr. Huo, if you want me to say, you should reject it before signing the contract. We have discussed this platform a long time ago. It has no future. Just such a small company's promotional slogan is 'Let online shopping enter thousands of households.'? I see this as a daydream!"

"Mr. Zhang is right. I also think this platform is very unreliable. It may become obsolete in a few months. You said you still want to cooperate with it. Isn't this a waste of time?"

The boss who disagrees, you and I are picking on Pintao's thorns, and he is short of saying that Huo Qingzhi's vision is so poor that such a rubbish platform will cooperate.

After being criticized by shareholders, Huo Qingzhi was already immune to these words. She smiled and said, "It takes time for every company to develop. Didn't we make a little bit of progress to reach our current scale?"

"If you define the future based on preconceived assumptions, I think you will miss a lot of opportunities. Therefore, I think it is not enough to make business decisions with certainty. Sometimes you need to try your luck."

"Watson is willing to be a pioneer. If Pintao really develops in the future, we can also get rich together."

The words on the scene were very pleasant, especially the words of "getting rich together" had penetrated into the hearts of the bosses, and they knew Huo Qingzhi's attitude, so they didn't say anything more.

After a toast, the topic is over.

But Song Yuran, who was watching the whole process, felt very uncomfortable. She clearly felt that the bosses thought that Huo Qingzhi's cooperation with Pintao was wrong, and they seemed to be watching a stubborn fool waiting to see a joke.

Like those old chicken thieves in the company.

The dinner was drawing to a close, and the bosses were already planning to start the after-dinner karaoke entertainment, asking the waiters to fiddle with the audio equipment in the private room.

Huo Qingzhi felt that Song Yuran's mood was obviously down from the middle of the game, thinking that she didn't like the atmosphere of socializing, and took advantage of the gap between the game changes to lead people out of the private room under the pretext of being too drunk.

The night was getting darker, Huo Qingzhi stood on the edge of the corridor, looked up at the bright moon above his head, and heard the sound of rushing water from the waterfall.

She glanced at the preoccupied Song Yuran, and said, "Go and sit in the pavilion."

Song Yuran said 'yes', but she was not active.

The light in the gazebo is darker than it looks from a distance. There are no lights around, and the warm yellow light looks much more ambiguous.

Huo Qingzhi sat on the bench, with one hand on the guardrail, and turned his head to look at a pool of water.

The light from the pavilion shone on the water, making the dark lake a bit brighter in the night, and the gentle breeze blew by, causing ripples on the calm lake.

The light on the water becomes distorted ripples.

It took a long time before Huo Qingzhi came up with an opening sentence: "Did the entertainment make you unhappy?"

Song Yuran quickly replied: "No, the food is quite delicious."

"Then why do you look unhappy?"

"It's not that I'm unhappy." Song Yuran frowned, hesitating, "I'm just... thinking about something."

"Is it something I can know?"

At the beginning, she decided to win the cooperation with Pintao and launch the joint model just to get special treatment. Song Yuran mainly planned for the long-term development in the future.

She hopes that Watson can see benefits from Pintao's cooperation as soon as possible, but this is not something she can speed up in a hurry. It is a very long process to promote online shopping and make people accept new things, and it will take at least a year.time before it can be fully accepted by the public.

But the current situation is that Huo Qingzhi is not favored by shareholders, and has become the laughing stock of his peers, and it will take at least a year for the Pintao platform to fully develop.

It is good that the preferential purchase of co-branded products can attract many new customers, but for most consumers, such as the target group of men who are not co-branded, this discount is not attractive to them at all.

Song Yuran lowered her head and said angrily: "Mr. Huo, it will take at least a year for Pintao to be fully recognized by the public. Our cooperation with Pintao will not be able to pay back in a short time."

"so?"

"Maybe I shouldn't have advised you..."

I was so excited at the beginning that I would never have thought that I would be in a dilemma now.

Furthermore, it is a long wait that don't know when it will end.

Taking a step back, Huo Qingzhi's military order in front of the shareholders has already blocked the way back, and they have no possibility of retreating.

Huo Qingzhi found Song Yuran's aggrieved look a little funny, and couldn't help but raised his hand to touch the top of her hair, "Why are you so unconfident now?"

"Cooperating with Pintao is my decision. Even if something goes wrong, it is my choice. I can take the risk, so don't worry."

The atmosphere was too serious, in order to calm down, Mr. Huo added: "Don't worry, your bonus will not be deducted."

"When are you still talking about bonuses..." Song Yu pursed her lips and muttered, "Besides, I'm not talking about bonuses..."

"Then what are you doing for it?" Huo Qingzhi asked.

for what?

Yes, what is she for?

Song Yu was stunned for a moment, she raised her head, and looked into Huo Qingzhi's eyes with the warm lamp above her head.

Why are you so worried about success or failure?

In the beginning, it was indeed for the purpose of wanting a bonus.

But now, after knowing what Huo Qingzhi will face after the failure, his mentality seems to have changed a little.

Song Yuran opened her mouth: "I..."

"Qingzhi?"

A sudden voice broke the somewhat sour atmosphere between them.

Huo Qingzhi turned his head and saw Su Zhouyun standing in the corridor at the end of the trestle bridge.

Almost subconsciously, he withdrew his hand on Song Yuran's hair.

It's like the guilty look of being caught by the parents at the beginning of love.

"Aunt Yun..."
