Chapter 272: The etiquette of gift giving (Part ) The next day was December 12th, Christmas. The stock market is still falling today, although not as exaggerated as yesterday's limit down. However, Chen knows that the financial market has completely torn off the false illusion and will not rebound. It will continue to fall to the bottom. Fortunately, college students don’t pay much attention to these things. They go to bed early in the morning, go to the library, and run to the cafeteria to grab food after class. The Christmas atmosphere is slowly fading away. It seems that young people in China only celebrate Christmas Eve, but this is also normal. Firstly, it may be because it is not a holiday. Secondly, even during our own Spring Festival, isn’t New Year’s Eve more lively than the first day of the first lunar month? During class, Chen Zhuo deliberately observed the expressions of his classmates and found that most of them did not yawn due to fatigue, which meant that they did not go out to play all night last night. "Students in the first semester of freshman year are relatively well behaved." Chen thought to himself. The morning passed like any other Tuesday, and even the day had no special events. To be honest, when Chen Zhao didn't eat at school at noon and in the evening, he took the initiative to explain the reason to Song Shiwei. In the past, Chen Zhuo didn't need to report anything specifically, but yesterday he held someone's hand and watched porn. Can he still pretend nothing happened?
Chen Zhuo knew very well yesterday that some relationships would change subtly. Fortunately, Song Shiwei knew that Chen Zhe had a lot of things to do, and she was not the "dependent" type, or at least she would not be so clingy on the surface. Besides, the final exam is in two weeks. In addition to reviewing, Song Shiwei also has information she wants to collect. After all, she has more than 300 million in cash. As a student majoring in finance, there is no way Sweet Sister would just let the money sit in the card and earn interest. Since Chen Zhuo explicitly refused to invest, Song Shiwei planned to look for some promising projects or new companies to invest in. Christmas Day 25th came just like that, and in the evening Chen Zhuo chatted with Yu Baibai as usual. Today, she was taken to CAFA by Professor Guan to experience the classroom atmosphere of the best art academy in China. On the 26th, Sang Xianzhu from the advertising company sent the second version of the advertisement. In this version of the advertisement, according to the request of the client Chen, the second sentence of the little girl was changed from "If you want to find a tutor, come to CUHK Learning Network" to "If you want to find a tutor, come to CUHK Learning Network" in Cantonese. And at the end of the advertisement, the animated image of the customer service YaYa is shown. She looks honest and cute, and is wearing a student uniform, a typical kawaii style. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the mascot of CUHK Learning Network in the future. Chen Zhuo was basically satisfied with this version of the advertisement, but there were still some minor details that needed to be adjusted. Chen Zhuo "picked bones" and expressed some of his own opinions. In response to these modification requests, Sang Xianzhu also gave appropriate suggestions based on his long-term practical experience. Chen Zhuo is a leader who is very willing to listen to opinions, especially in areas that he is not good at. As long as what Sang Xianzhu says makes sense, Chen Zhuo will adopt it. Finally, a few minor issues that needed to be modified were identified, and Sang Xianzhu immediately took it back for re-editing and dubbing. Because time was tight and the advertisement would be seen on Guangzhou Satellite TV on the first of next month, Sang Xianzhu mobilized all the resources of the entire company and devoted all his efforts to this task. On the 27th, he took out the third version of the advertisement. On the 28th, he took out the fourth edition, and Chen Zhuo finally could not find any shortcomings. Sang Xianzhu's opinion was immediately sent to the TV station, and arrangements were made by Deputy Director Liang Haoqun and Director Yang Guang of the Advertising Department. Chen Zhuo said there was no rush and asked Sang Xianzhu to wait for news first, and he would send it when he could. Chen Zhuo had already bought shopping coupons for Guangbai Supermarket. At times like this, he should give the gifts first, and then deal with the advertising matters when both parties are happy. In this way, the feelings between each other will naturally deepen like gurgling water.
If Chen Zhuo waited until Liang Haoqun and Yang Guang had arranged the advertisements before going over to give the gifts, it would seem as if he had come over to thank others for their help, which would seem to be a matter of no emotion and all business. On the afternoon of the 28th, Chen took a shopping voucher worth yuan and another shopping voucher worth yuan and took a ride to Xiaobei's TV station. The ten thousand yuan was intended for Liang Haoqun, and the five thousand yuan was for Yang Guang. Most people certainly don’t understand why, when they have already given a gift to the big boss Liang Haoqun, they still have to take care of Yang Guang? Because "it's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with the little devils", Liang Haoqun is just the one who gives orders, and the one who does the specific work is definitely Yang Guang. Maybe while Liang Haoqun was in office, he would not dare to do anything even if he offended Yang Guang? But who can guarantee that Brother Liang will always be the leader of the TV station? Besides, during the last social event, Yang Guang obviously admired this young man Chen. As for Director Chen, what he is best at is constantly deepening the goodwill between both parties, turning ordinary friends into good friends, and then establishing a network of relationships in all walks of life. Just like the second-level police inspector from Xiancun Police Station on Christmas Eve, he spoke up for Chen Zhe because Zhao Yuanyuan's father had said hello. But Chen Zhuo gave 1000 yuan worth of fruits to express his gratitude. Next time they meet again, Chen Zhuo and the second-level police inspector will definitely be much warmer. Of course, in reality, it is more likely that they will not meet again, but the second-level police inspector will definitely report Chen Zhuo's actions to Zhao Yuanyuan's father, so that Old Zhao will also be proud and think that Chen Zhuo is a very good person at such a young age. So Yang Guang’s gift must be delivered, and it has to be arranged in advance. Because there is a certain risk in giving gifts directly to a senior leader's office, even though Liang Haoqun is Chen Zhuo's senior brother, and because of Song Zuoming, any interaction between Liang Haoqun and Chen Zhuo is justifiable. However, in order to avoid any negative impact as much as possible, Chen Zhuo decided to sit in Yang Guang's office first. In fact, Yang Guang, the director of the advertising department, is not a "little kid" in the TV station, but a powerful figure with considerable weight. Otherwise, why would Chen Zhe give out a shopping voucher worth 5000 yuan? With Yang Guang's level, knowledge and resources, he is worth this price. When Yang Guang saw Chen Zhe coming, he stood up to greet him enthusiastically. This was because Chen Zhe had performed brilliantly in the last social event, and also because he was the junior of his immediate superior. "Chen Zhe, how come you have time to come to my place?" Yang Guang said, "I have a social event tonight. Do you want to go over and have a couple of drinks?" Yang Guang remembered that Chen Ze was a big drinker, so the first sentence of their greeting was about "drinking". Chen Zhuo thought about it for a while and realized that Yang Guang might just be being polite. If Yang Guang really wanted to invite him, he would say, "Chen Zhuo, you came at the right time. Come with me to the social event after get off work and beat up those bastards!" "I didn't dare disobey Brother Yang's instructions." Chen said modestly, "But it's almost the end of the semester, and my homeroom teacher wants to talk to me about something tonight, so I really don't have time today." Chen Zhu's judgment was very accurate. Yang Guang was just yelling. If Chen Zhu really agreed, he might still be a little embarrassed. But then again, with the emotional intelligence that Chen Zhe showed during the last drinking party, it is impossible for him not to be able to tell what is true and what is false. "It doesn't matter. I have social engagements every day." Yang Guang smiled and said, "Come over by yourself next time when you are free!" Next, the two talked about Chenzhe's company's advertising. Yang Guang also urged Chenzhe to bring the advertising master tapes over in the next two days, because there were only a few companies left to be arranged. Chen didn't say that the advertisement had been completed. He just said that it would be done as soon as possible, and then took out an envelope containing a shopping voucher worth 5,000 yuan. Giving gifts is an effective way to bring two people closer together. "Gift" is the key, but how to "give" is also a skill.
This requires considering the other person's position, personality, and relationship with oneself, so the way of speaking when "sending" is different for different people. What are Yang Guang's characteristics? Chen Zhuo's senior Liang Haoquan was holding him back. Yang Guang was not the top leader, and he and Chen Zhuo were also relatively familiar with each other privately, so Chen Zhuo could not be too official, lest he destroy this relatively natural way of getting along. Yang Guang is more afraid of his wife. He was worried that his wife would be jealous, so he was not willing to send Huang Cancan back. Most henpecked men are family-oriented, so you can approach the conversation from the family perspective and use a more friendly tone. Moreover, Yang Guang's position is a bit sensitive and he may be watched by many people, so he should try his best to describe the gift-giving as an "inadvertent" little thing to reduce the other party's psychological pressure. This is how Chen Zhuo explained what “little inconspicuous things” mean. "Brother Yang." Chen put his arms on the armrests of the chair, looking very relaxed. He said with a smile: "It's almost New Year's Day and the Spring Festival. The company is giving benefits to employees, so I bought some shopping coupons at Guangbai. I didn't expect to buy a few too many. I thought Brother Yang is so busy at work, and it's hard for sister-in-law to buy New Year's goods at home alone. Brother Yang, you can take the extra shopping coupons back to sister-in-law." "what?" Yang Guangxi was stunned at first. He didn't expect Chen Zhe to give him a gift. Deputy Director Liang is his senior. If Chen wants to do something, like the TV commercial for the CUHK Learning Network, Director Liang can arrange it with just a word. There is no need for him to use my connections. But when Chen Zhuo did this, Yang Guang felt respected. Moreover, there was no hypocrisy in what this kid Chen said, but instead every word sounded like gossip about family matters. Without waiting for Yang Guang to refuse, Chen Zhuo said, "Brother Yang is so busy, and as a young man, I should help my sister-in-law buy New Year's goods directly, but I'm starting a business now, and I have final exams to take, so I really don't have much time." "Brother Yang, just give this to your sister-in-law." Chen pushed the envelope forward and said half-jokingly, "I can't buy it and send it to your door, right? That's not impossible. I'll do it when I have time." Chen said this in the tone of a brother-in-law, not considering himself an outsider at all. "Forget it." Yang Guang waved his hand, looked at the sincere expression on Chen's face, and said after a moment's hesitation: "Your sister-in-law does want to buy New Year's goods, but I can't accept your things. How about this, how much is this shopping voucher, I will give it to you in cash." This was the first time that Yang Guang had dealt with Chen Zhuo in this way, so it was impossible for him to accept it directly. He would definitely have to make a tactful refusal. “How much money can be given as benefits to employees?” Chen relied on his youth and said in a shameless manner: "This is for my sister-in-law. Brother Yang, you have no right to decide. Unless she also wants to give it to me in cash, then I will accept it." "you……" Yang Guang looked helpless, but still refused to accept it. However, Chen felt that this was almost enough, but he was still in the office and Yang Guang was embarrassed to pick it up. "Brother Yang." Chen Zhuo asked, "Is Senior Brother Liang in the office now? Is it convenient for Fang to go up to him?" Yang Guang immediately understood that this was a gift for Director Liang. "I was wondering why Chen Zhe suddenly came to the TV station. It turns out he has something to do."
Yang Guang suddenly realized, but he did not think the gift-giving behavior was abrupt, he just thought that Chen's maturity and intelligence were a bit exaggerated. He has education, good looks, ability, vision, a good alcohol tolerance, and is low-key. He also knows how to give gifts and use connections when necessary... People like this are simply God's chosen talents in this kind of domestic environment. "Let me ask for you." Yang Guang made a phone call, it seemed to be to the administrative secretary, and then said to Chen Zhuo: "Liang Tai is free now, and there are no guests in the office, but he has a meeting in 20 minutes, you can just catch up with him now." Look, this is the advantage of contacting the subordinates first, and knowing the leader’s schedule in advance. "Okay then. I'll go upstairs to find Senior Brother Liang first, and then come back to chat with Brother Yang." Chen left the office and closed the door gently. Looking at the office that had suddenly become quiet and the envelope lying on the desk, Yang Guang hesitated for a moment, but finally, driven by curiosity, he picked it up and took out the shopping voucher inside. The limit is five 1000-yuan notes. How could this be because they bought too much for employee benefits? It's obviously an excuse. "5000 dollars." Yang Guang nodded. The amount was almost as much as the gifts given to him by large companies. But Chen’s small company only went online in November. "He is generous and willing to invest." This is a new comment Yang Guang added to Chen Zhuo. ······ (End of this chapter)
