Volume 2, No More Than Thirty Chapter 82 Gu Jia
In the evening, in a western restaurant.
"Manni, let me introduce you. This is my very good friend Gu Jia. She lives in the same building as you. You live on the 18th floor and she lives on the 12th floor. Your two families are very close, so you can visit each other more often."
Zhong Xiaoqin pulled Wang Manni to sit next to her and introduced her good friend Gu Jia to her. Before she could continue to introduce Wang Manni, Gu Jia took the initiative to speak with a smile:
"So it's you. I'm so sorry for what happened yesterday. Did you wash your clothes afterwards?"
Looking at Gu Jia, whom she had met once, Wang Manni smiled in surprise:
"Xiaoqin said she wanted to introduce me to a very good friend. I didn't expect it to be you. What a coincidence. The clothes won't be in the way. They've been washed."
Seeing that Wang Manni and Gu Jia knew each other, Zhong Xiaoqin slightly widened her eyes and asked curiously:
"Do you know each other?"
After taking a look at the curious baby Zhong Xiaoqin, Gu Jia explained with a smile:
"We met yesterday. I accidentally stained Manni's clothes in the mall. I wanted to pay her for the dry cleaning fee but she confiscated it. I didn't expect to meet her again today."
After that, she looked at Wang Manni and smiled:
"Manny, what do you want to eat?"
"I'll have a steak, please."
Nodding slightly, Gu Jia asked a nearby waiter for three steaks. While waiting for the meal, Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Wang Manni and smiled:
"Manni, I asked you to come out today because Gu Jia has something urgent to do. She wants to buy a big-brand bag. I know you are a senior salesperson at the Misia store, so I want to ask you to help her. She has contacted many salespeople, but they all said that this bag has to wait a long time and cannot be bought even if she wants to."
Nodding slightly, Wang Manni looked at Gu Jia and smiled:
"Gu Jia, what brand of bag do you want to buy?"
"Wait a minute!"
Gu Jia opened WeChat on her phone and showed Wang Manni a group photo in her circle of friends:
"Take a look at this. I want to buy a bag of this brand, but the salesperson in their store told me that it's out of stock and I have to queue up to buy it."
After taking a look at the group photo, which showed six wealthy ladies, all carrying limited edition handbags of the same brand, Wang Manni nodded and said with a smile:
"I know this brand. You have to wait in line for their flagship model. Each store has its own sales system. It is really hard to buy. Do you have to buy this one?"
Nodding slightly, Gu Jia explained with a smile:
"I've encountered some difficulties recently and need that bag as a stepping stone. Do you have any ideas?"
"I know a friend who sells this brand. I'll call her and ask her if you have any requirements for the color and size of the bag."
"I want a classic bag in a classic color, and a normal size."
Nodding slightly, Wang Manni directly dialed her friend's number, and the call was connected after a few beeps.
"Hello, Sister Lin, I'm Manni!"
"Do you still have a bag in a classic style and classic color?"
"Okay, I understand. Wait a moment!"
Wang Manni covered her phone and looked at Gu Jia to confirm:
"Gu Jia, Sister Lin said it will be available as soon as next month. Are you anxious?"
"If we forget about it next month, it might be too late. I'll think of other ways."
Hearing Gu Jia say this, Wang Manni continued the call:
"No, Sister Lin, I can't wait. This is not my guest, this is my friend, a very important friend."
"Please help me think of a solution. I know it's difficult. How about this? I'll leave all my quota for this year to you. Many customers are fighting for those bags in our house. I'll leave all my quota to your customers. Is that okay?"
"Okay, then help me think of a solution. Thank you, Sister Lin!"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Manni looked at Gu Jia opposite and smiled:
"Gu Jia, Sister Lin said she would help me think of a solution. From her tone, I think it's almost certain. She must have the bag you want , so don't worry!"
"Manni, I'm so sorry to bother you so much on our first meeting. If you feel pressured by your monthly performance, please tell me and I will do my best!"
"It's okay, you are Xiaoqin's friend, which means you are also my friend, Wang Manni. You don't need to worry about this!"
After that, Wang Manni looked at Gu Jia and said hesitantly:
"Gu Jia, can I ask you what you use this bag for?"
"sure!"
Nodding slightly, Gu Jia explained with a smile:
"I recently met a group of wives. Each of them holds a bag. One of them is Mrs. Yu. Their theme park can help our fireworks company expand its business. I took this bag hoping that it can be my ticket to join the wives' circle."
"I understand. That's right. Based on my understanding of those people, I suggest you don't buy this common one. You can spend a little more money on a limited edition one. This way you are more likely to achieve the effect you want."
After that, seeing that Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin were both looking at her, Wang Manni smiled and explained:
"People who like to buy bags have a certain order of preference when choosing styles. The ones they want to buy the most are definitely the limited edition ones. Merchants use them as a gimmick, and these ladies are happy to collect them one by one. They think that classic models are too boring to use for three to five years. I looked at the group photo of ladies in your circle of friends, and they all have limited editions. It would be a bit out of place if you bought a classic model."
Hearing Wang Manni's analysis, Zhong Xiaoqin widened her eyes and sighed:
"Manni, you are so knowledgeable. Is the wife circle so complicated?"
"After dealing with them for a long time, I always understand this. These wives are very bored. They create all kinds of unspoken rules in their own circles. However, the biggest unspoken rule is to compete with family background. Whoever has more money will be the focus. They are much more snobbish than ordinary people like us!"
After saying that, Wang Manni felt that Gu Jia was also a figure in the wives' circle, so she looked at her and said embarrassedly:
"Gu Jia, don't get me wrong. I'm talking about the customers in our store, not your circle of wives."
"It doesn't matter. You're right. They are really boring. They always compare bags. They are also very snobbish and look down on the poor and love the rich. Some of them can't even tell the difference between Van Gogh and Monet. They mistake Monet's water lilies for Van Gogh's works!"
At this point, she changed the subject and said in a self-deprecating tone:
"But there's nothing we can do. They're rich enough to hang Monet's water lilies in their restaurant. Their family's businesses are in all walks of life. If a little bit of resources slips through their fingers, it would be enough for our fireworks company to have enough food and drink.
For example, Mrs. Yu, her family has the qualifications of three theme parks. As long as she can get any of them to provide our fireworks company with the qualifications to set off fireworks, she can solve all the difficulties we are facing now. So I can only try to please them. Even though I know they look down on me, I still have to squeeze in desperately and pretend to be confused! "
Seeing Gu Jia getting sad, Zhong Xiaoqin quickly comforted her:
"Gu Jia, let's not talk about this today. Once Manni helps you buy the limited edition bag, I believe you can definitely join the wives' circle and help your fireworks company get through this difficult time."
Nodding slightly, Gu Jia looked at Wang Manni and smiled:
"Manni, I'm asking you to help me change it to a limited edition bag."
“No problem, I hope this bag can help you!”
Wang Manni smiled and agreed. After a while, the waiter brought three steaks. While eating the steak, she looked at the elegant Gu Jia opposite her and asked:
"Gu Jia, have you ever been on a cruise?"
"I've been there, what's the matter, do you want to go too?"
"Some time ago, I sold a big order worth four million and was successfully promoted to supervisor. The company rewarded me with a European cruise. I want to find someone with experience to ask if he has any ideas."
"Manni, you got a promotion, congratulations!"
"Thanks!"
"Manni, congratulations. Let me tell you, traveling on a cruise ship is very worry-free. Take a look at the sea and blue sky, and you will find that your perspective and outlook will change!"
"Will you get seasick?"
"It's pretty stable in most cases, don't worry. If you really get seasick, there are seasickness pills on the ship, just ask the waiter for them. By the way, did your company book you a coach class or an executive class?"
“Is a cruise ship so particular?”
"Of course, coach class and executive class have different room types and different activity areas."
"I'm the sales manager of the store, not a senior executive of the company. The company's reward should be economy class."
"Then I suggest you upgrade your cabin. The difference between the executive class and the economy class is not a little bit. The executive class is really good. There is also the captain's dinner in the evening. If you bring two beautiful little skirts with you, the experience will be completely different."
Hearing Gu Jia's description, without waiting for Wang Manni to respond, Zhong Xiaoqin, who likes to read love stories, said excitedly:
"I know, I know, just like the Titanic, Manni, you can ask Mr. Yuan to go with you. I really envy you two, just like Jack and Rose, so romantic!"
Hearing Zhong Xiaoqin say this, Gu Jia also smiled and suggested to Wang Manni:
"Manni, if your husband has time, it would be best for the two of you to go on a cruise together. Just like Xiaoqin said, romance is very helpful in enhancing the relationship between men and women, and it can become a precious memory for your whole life!"
