Chapter 221: Using the Beauty Trap
Chapter 221: Using the Beauty Trap
But as a leader, if he panics, then the people under him will also lose their focus.
When I first woke up and thought about this, I forced myself to be alert and calm my panic.
He looked at the streets on both sides and said, "Old Yang, look ahead and see if there is a place to park. Let's get off the car and buy some incense and ask about the situation."
"Okay, Mr. Chu." Lao Yang replied.
He then drove the car forward 10 meters and stopped in front of a shop that looked slightly larger.
Chen Yi opened the location map he carried with him, took a look at it, and then observed the surroundings.
"Boss Chu, please stay in the car. I'll get off and buy it."
Chu Xing: "This place should be not too far from our first target point. People in small places have small mindsets and are generally more suspicious. So be careful with what you say and do."
"OK, I see."
Before Chen Yi opened the car door, he turned his head and said to Lao Yang, "Eat some dry food first to fill your stomach and protect General Chu."
"Okay, stay safe."
Lao Yang is a bodyguard and driver. He is about the same age as Chu Xing and Chen Yi, but he looks a little anxious, so everyone calls him Lao Yang.
Chu Xing would only ask him to accompany him when he was on a long-distance business trip or drinking at a social gathering.
After Chen Yi got off the car, he quickly scanned the surroundings with his naked eyes, and then pretended to ask about the incense materials needed to go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.
The owners of several shops next to each other waved to him.
Among them, the plump proprietress of the store opposite where their car was parked came to greet them.
"Boss, go to the temple to pray for blessings, buy some incense, light up the temple, illuminate your future, and bring prosperity to your business."
Chen Yi nodded slightly: "We are just a small shop, we are not big bosses, but the boss lady gave us good words, so I will buy some incense from you."
When the other shop owners saw that Chen Yi had already decided on a purchasing point, they stopped talking and just looked at the proprietress with envy and jealousy.
Chen Yi couldn't help but sweat in his heart. What Mr. Chu said was right. The businessmen in small places were not easy to deal with, so he had to be careful in what he said and did.
The proprietress was very happy to see that Chen Yi was handsome and spoke in an elegant manner.
Chen Yi followed her into the store and asked the proprietress to suggest and help him to match the materials needed for burning incense and worshiping Buddha. He tried his best to show that he knew nothing about burning incense and worshiping Buddha, and that he trusted the boss's expertise.
But in fact, he really knew nothing.
The proprietress was even happier and said in a low voice, "I see that you are so sincere, so I will make an exception and give you a 9.5% discount. How about that?"
Chen Yi showed surprise and said, "If you are profitable, it would be best if you can give me a discount. If you still lose money after the discount, that won't do."
After he finished speaking, he glanced around the entire store. There were no extra people, so he guessed that business had not been very good recently.
Chen Yi lowered his voice and said, "Boss lady, I want to discuss something with you, okay?"
The lady boss was in a very good mood under the honey in front of Chen Yi, and she said happily: "You tell me, as long as it's not that... I will agree to it."
In fact, she had long been obsessed with Chen Yi's beauty, and thought that even if you wanted that... I would also be willing.
Although Chen Yi is not in a relationship, he can naturally understand the boss lady's thoughts. He just wants this kind of mood.
When Chu Xing woke up, he saw through the car window that Chen Yi was happily communicating with the proprietress. The proprietress had a rosy face, like a fat girl from Qingcun who had just fallen in love. From time to time, she would steal a loving glance at Chen Yi.
He couldn't help but grin, "Chen Yi is using the beauty trap. His beauty finally comes in handy."
Lao Yang dared to joke: "Boss Chu, if you were the one who got off the car to make the purchase just now, would the results be better?"
"I don't think so. Chen Yi is simple-minded and I am a married man. I cannot play his role." Chu Xing said.
Thinking of Rumeng, he felt warm and happy, but also extremely worried and guilty.
After thinking for a while, Chu Xing finally called Ru Meng...
Rumeng and Cheng Ning were having a pleasant chat at this time, when the ringing sound of the cell phone on the dining table interrupted their conversation.
If you dream that the person calling you is just waking up, pick up the phone and answer it immediately.
She called "Husband" softly, sounding a little surprised.
"Have you arrived at the business destination? Have you had lunch?"
When I first woke up, I said, "I feel like I'm just about to find a place to eat."
He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was still 10 minutes until : p.m., and it was time to eat. He didn't want to say it because he didn't want to make Rumeng worry.
Chu Xing looked out the car window again and saw Chen Yi still talking to the proprietress of the incense shop. He wondered when his beauty scheme would end and whether it could get him some useful information.
Can they find their biological mother as they wish, and can they return home before dark as they wish?
He doesn't know, it's hard to estimate.
Ru Meng: "Editor-in-Chief Cheng Ning and I are having dinner together, and we are discussing publishing cooperation matters. Dad and grandma are being taken care of by grandma and Aunt Zhang, so you don't have to worry."
Chu Xing said "OK", just a simple word, but there was trust in his tone.
"Then you have to entertain Editor Cheng well, and be careful on your way home."
"Okay, that's a must." Rumeng said. She paused, then continued, "Hubby, you guys should also pay attention to safety. We'll wait for you at home."
Chu Xing said "hmm".
Just now he seemed to have a lot to say to Rumeng, but now he didn't know where to start. He was satisfied just to listen to Rumeng's voice quietly.
at this time,
When Chu Xing looked out of the car window, he saw Chen Yi and his wife walking out of the incense shop empty-handed. He thought that Chen Yi's "beauty trap" had failed.
He quickly ended the call with Rumeng: "Wife, I have something to deal with, so I'm hanging up now. You and Editor-in-Chief Cheng have a good meal, go home and be safe, and contact Yan Feng and the others in time if anything happens."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone after waiting for Rumeng's response.
Ru Meng: This is...?
Oh! My husband's CEO problem has come back.
Rumeng shrugged at Cheng Ning: "Sorry! I didn't mean to show my affection in front of you. He is quite busy and it's hard to talk to him when he calls. There's nothing I can do."
Cheng Ning smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, even if it's just a show of affection, I allow these things to happen."
The two of them started chatting again.
At this time, in a shop selling incense and candles on the street in Lianhua Town, the young and handsome special assistant to the president, Chen Yi, took several large banknotes at the door of the shop and then walked into the shop.
He handed the banknote to the shop owner:
"I bought so many things from you, and your neighbors have no business. They must be upset. We are just passers-by, so it doesn't matter. But you live together day and night, so don't create conflicts."
"I went to their store to buy a little something, even a bunch of incense sticks, and they said you didn't have enough stock here, and suggested that I go to their store to buy it, so that you can get along with them in the future. We run a small business, and we understand this very well."
The proprietress was very surprised when she heard what Chen Yi said!
She looked at Chen Yi with wide eyes, silent.
Chen Yi thought she was unwilling to share her hard-earned business and pretended to be embarrassed.
The proprietress hurriedly explained, "Boss, you are so kind and always worry about others. You must be very popular."
"Well, if you go to their store and buy two sticks of incense, I will give you less of these, so you can save some money."
Chen Yi: "It's okay, you can still provide me with the incense materials as usual. Although we are just a small business, we have patients at home and it's rare for us to come to the temple to pray for our family members. We don't care about the money for the incense."
The lady boss admired Chen Yi even more after hearing what he said. He was just a customer, but he cared about the jealousy between their neighboring shops.
She had no reason not to give a discount, so how could she not agree? She was so happy.
Chen Yi bought two sticks of incense from each of the two shops next door and said a few good words to them.
This not only reduced the jealousy and hatred of the neighboring shops towards the boss, but also made them let down their guard against Chen Yi, killing two birds with one stone.
