Chapter 59
Bai Xuan smiled: "Have you encountered a bottleneck in your development?"
Hit the nail on the head, hit the nail on the head!
Su Yumeng looked at Bai Xuan with surprise in his eyes, as if he had discovered a new continent.
Bai Xuan said with a smile: "Don't look at me with such admiration. My brother will be proud. Well, I really don't know much about business. But it doesn't mean that I didn't know any experts. Those bankers in Europe, Big chaebol, I don’t brag and talk about them today. But there was a real rich daughter who followed me around all day long. President Su doesn’t need to belittle himself, but your net worth, compared with her, is really comparable to Lu The tofu Xishi at the side stall is not much different. We all call her a witch, her father is unknown, but her mother is definitely a strong woman. One of the founders of the Samsung consortium once owned a high percentage of shares. But later a There was an accident, the family was destroyed. The girl rarely talked about family affairs, but she was very close to me. When no outsiders were around, she talked about many past events with tears in her eyes. I am not a big deal in the economic industry, so I can't tell this girl straight If you really follow the original life plan, how high you can climb and how much you can achieve. But she once casually and unintentionally told me a few shortcomings of Nokia's business model. Hehe... She is the witch who knows the future. In the past few years, Nokia has almost disappeared. I have been in touch with her a lot, and it is difficult for me to understand. Don’t look at me like this. I know more things than you think. Maybe it’s not good, but it’s good In general, there is no way, work needs, these days, in the eyes of outsiders, the best industry is the most demanding."
Bai Xuan took another sip of water, and then said: "Jiuzhou Trading is purely an OEM model of foreign trade and domestic trade. It does not have its own products and sales channels. The dependence is too strong. This incident fully proves this point. Several With the withdrawal of major customers, Kyushu Trade was in crisis immediately. I will not comment on whether this business model is good or bad. There must be advantages and disadvantages. I just watch it from the perspective of an outsider. Any company that wants to do Big, listed in Shenzhen, Shanghai, or even listed in Hong Kong or NASDAQ, there must be a mature industrial marketing chain. I am surprised that Kyushu Trading can develop to today's scale. But I think there is not much to go ahead .People change when they are poor, change leads to success, and success leads to long-term. The same is true for companies. If you want to keep the business left by Mr. Su, then it is right to let nature take its course and do your duty. But if you want to carry forward , based on the foundation left by the old man, you have to find a way to change it to a higher level."
Su Yumeng frowned, thought for a long time, and said, "Actually, I felt something was wrong half a year ago. It's just vague, and I can't understand it. What you said is very reasonable. But Kyushu Trade It’s like a stable tennis player. What he’s good at, what he’s not good at, his pros and cons, he’s used to it for a long time. It’s not that easy to change. Besides, how should I change? Could it be possible for me to switch careers and do something else? So now all the fixed assets, such as factory machines, mature workers, and invisible customer assets, are probably going to be lost. Kyushu Trading is almost equivalent to starting from the beginning. This is too risky. A successful transformation may not be better than it is now. And the probability of failure is too great for me to bear.”
Bai Xuan smiled and said nothing.
He has said enough for today.If it wasn't for Su Yumeng fooling him and making him recall the original things, he was in a low mood and couldn't afford to play hooligans, he would definitely hold this girl under his body, and while pulling his nightgown, he said: "Life is full of joy, Don't let the handsome man face the moon. Girl, I will unlock a new pose for you."
He didn't intend to continue, but Su Yumeng asked.
"Hey! Bai Xuan, what do you think we should do in transformation?"
Bai Xuan came up with a bad idea: "There are so many handsome men and women in the Kyushu trade, why not change their names to Heaven and Earth, each of the girls will be handed out a small handkerchief, stand in front of the window and make a pose and call, guest officer, come and play. The men will send a handkerchief to each other." Broom and broom, responsible for cleaning, serving tea and water, and serving the grandpa who came to play..."
Su Yumeng gritted her teeth and pinched the tender flesh on his waist: "Asshole! Do you want to play for free?"
Bai Xuan laughed loudly: "If I'm going to play, it must be for you, the old bustard."
Su Yumeng rolled his eyes at him, and said coquettishly: "I'm still a hooligan! I don't care about you. The summer vacation is coming soon, and there are no classes in Yuyan's school. This is a very difficult time, so let her take two weeks of vacation at home in advance. Starting tomorrow, you Stay with me in the company 24 hours a day. Responsible for making plans and operating that plan.”
Bai Xuan complained: "Boss Su, brother only sells himself, not art."
Su Yumeng was graceful and charming, walking upstairs with a graceful figure, looking back and smiling, cunning and sinister like a fox: "Hmph! Miss Ben only buys your talent, and is not interested in your body."
Bai Xuan sneered: "Bind sales, if you buy art, you have to buy a body."
Su Yumeng: "It's a good idea! I'll add money to you, so I can spare a naive girl like Yaxin. I don't care about it."
Bai Xuan turned into a money fan in an instant: "Boss, how much more?"
Su Yumeng: "Add ten yuan every month."
Bai Xuan: "I'll go! Brother, this body is worth ten yuan?"
Su Yumeng giggled coquettishly, covered her mouth and went upstairs.
The corner was about to disappear, but she stopped suddenly.
Su Yumeng turned her head, it seemed a little hard to say, her brows were still slightly frowned: "Bai Xuan, you...at night...you won't really sneak into Yaxin's bedroom, right?"
Bai Xuan said: "Then we have to see if my sister Yaxin has reserved the door for me."
Su Yumeng snorted softly, gave him a blank look, and disappeared at the end.
She had a lot to do.
In the planning of Kyushu Trading, the old batch of department managers were dismissed, and a lot of employee information was placed in the study, which required her to consider and select who could take the position.The most important thing is the plan to dilute Ru'an and Zhao Fugui. She has to re-examine and think twice. Every detail, every person to be contacted, every relationship to be opened... must ensure that there are no mistakes.
But when passing by Yu Yaxin's bedroom, Su Yumeng couldn't move any more due to some strange circumstances.
She hesitated for a long time, raised her hand to knock on the door, but stopped again.
Gritting her teeth, Su Yumeng put her plain hand on the doorknob, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. It seemed that the action of opening the door was more difficult than killing and setting fire.
With a slight twist, the door swung open.
Su Yumeng smiled wryly.
Pushing open the door, the lights in the bedroom were off, and the curtains were drawn tightly, but the light from the corridor leaked in, and Yu Yaxin could be seen lying on the bed.
The quilt covered his head, and his body curled up in it, shivering because of tension.
Su Yumeng sighed secretly, and sat gently on the edge of the bed, she was in a daze, not knowing what to say.It's even a little inexplicable why he appeared here.
Yu Yaxin spoke first, she hid under the quilt, her voice was like a mosquito, hiding shyness: "Brother Baixuan...close the door..."
Su Yumeng got up, turned around and went downstairs, and slammed on the door of Bai Xuan's bedroom.
After a while, the door opened.
Bai Xuan was wrapped in a bath towel, and there was still a lot of foam on his head. He was obviously taking a bath. Seeing her, he was a little surprised, and joked: "Oh, life is full of surprises. I thought it was my sister, Yaxin, who was so lonely, so I came to vote for her." Hugs and hugs, I didn't expect it to be President Su. Come, come, please come in, it's better to come early than to come, and we just happen to take a mandarin duck bath together."
Su Yumeng looked calm: "Is there any smoke?"
Bai Xuan was stunned.
Su Yumeng: "Give me a cigarette."
Bai Xuan asked: "Accidentally when you went upstairs, your head was squeezed by the door?"
Su Yumeng: "Where is it?"
Bai Xuan: "In the drawer of the bedside table."
Su Yumeng opened the door and came in, took the cigarettes and lighter, turned around and went upstairs again.He didn't talk nonsense with Bai Xuan, it seemed that the girl who was smiling and teasing the feminine girl just now in the living room was another person.
Bai Xuan was left standing alone in front of the door, staring at her back, dumbfounded.
Su Yumeng re-entered Yu Yaxin's bedroom, closed the door, but turned on the bedside lamp.
She lit a cigarette, stood by the window, looked outside, crossed her arms, the scorching heat was approaching, the weather was hot, and although the air conditioner was on in the room, it was far from cold.
Her thin and thin body was trembling a little.
"Sister Yumeng?"
Yu Yaxin's doubtful voice came from behind.
She turned around and saw the girl hastily covered herself tightly with the quilt, and the delicate body in the quilt seemed to let out a burst of happiness.
But it was enough for Su Yumeng to see clearly.
On weekdays, Yu Yaxin dressed conservatively, she must wear long trousers when she went out, and she wore shorts and T-shirts when she slept. Today, she specially changed into a sexy nightdress.
Low-cut, white flowers on the chest, making women jealous and men jealous.
Su Yumeng smiled and said, "Yaxin, talk to me for a while, I'm in a bad mood."
Yu Yaxin hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously: "Yes... did Brother Baixuan bully you?"
Su Yumeng shook her head: "No, your brother Baixuan, in front of me, is still pretty decent."
Yu Yaxin didn't speak, but smiled a little forcedly.
rule?
The first time Bai Xuan saw Yu Yaxin, he performed artificial respiration and CPR.The kiss has been kissed, and the touch has been touched.In the living room, he even scratched and pulled on her thigh, and sent someone to push her down and rape her.
Su Yumeng also seemed to feel that this sentence was a bit far-fetched, and her expression was awkward.
She changed the subject and asked, "Yaxin, do you like him?"
Yu Yaxin lowered her head, her face was flushed, and she didn't speak.
Su Yumeng handed her a cigarette and asked, "Do you smoke?"
Yu Yaxin shook her head.
Su Yumeng said, "Yaxin, can I sleep here at night?"
Yu Yaxin was taken aback, but she still nodded.
Didn't shower, didn't even wash up.Su Yumeng, who has a slight obsession with cleanliness, must clean herself up even if she works all night.
But today, she went straight to bed.
She fell asleep next to Yu Yaxin, just like she did in Lianze that day, and gently hugged Yu Yaxin in her arms from behind.
Yu Yaxin was shy and nervous at first.
But after a long time, I felt the warmth of my embrace, caring like my own sister.Drowsiness hit her, and she closed her eyes in a daze.
Faintly heard Su Yumeng talking to herself: "Yaxin, look, we live in a mansion, there is a private garage downstairs with nine cars parked, and there is a big company that can make Yuyan spend money like dirt...Ke Ya Xin, you didn’t realize that I’m also a girl. A girl who is only a few years older than you and Bingbing. I’m timid and will lose my sense of control when encountering difficulties. I’m not smart. If An Zhao Fugui is domineering in the company, I'm still thinking about my old love...Yaxin, you sister Yumeng can't hold on anymore..."
Su Yumeng also said: "Do you know what Bai Xuan used to do? You definitely didn't ask, and neither did I. But your brother Bai Xuan is an eagle in the sky, and you came to Yumen just to take a rest, you can't hold him back." He, I can't hold him back..."
Yu Yaxin replied in a daze, "Sister Yumeng, I didn't want to tie him up..."
Yu Yaxin slept soundly.
Su Yumeng didn't sleep all night, she made up her mind that if that bastard Bai Xuan dared to sneak onto Yaxin's bed in the middle of the night, she would kick him off.
But until dawn, Bai Xuan didn't come.
At six o'clock in the morning, Su Yumeng got up, stood in front of the window, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a big puff, and couldn't help coughing, but all she could think about was Bai Xuan's playful smile on her face in the living room last night. said that sentence.
"So I am very fraternal now, I only have sex, and I don't talk about feelings."
Just roll the sheets, don't talk about feelings.
There is no basis for feelings, if you still love me, then just play on the occasion.
If you have feelings, but you can't take responsibility, if you go to bed like that, wouldn't you live up to the girl's secret promise?
Su Yumeng opened the curtains, and the morning sun shone in, brilliant and dazzling, as if her heart was instantly illuminated.
She threw away the cigarette she just took a puff of, and couldn't help but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, muttering to herself: "What a bastard!"
