Chapter 183: Hand Over Your Business Card Nicely
TL: Etude
The next afternoon, Jiang Qin visited a suit shop in the downtown area. Following the salespersons suggestion, he tried on a grey suit with a black shirt, paired with black trousers and black leather shoes.
His physique was naturally upright and impressive, something that casual clothes never quite emphasized. However, once he donned the suit, his previously casual demeanor transformed into a strikingly noble air.
Wow, I look so handsome. Im like a natural clothes hanger.
This color on me, it not only brings out my charisma but also adds a touch of elegance and a hint of luxury. I bet even Daniel Wu would agree.
The salesperson, following him silently, thought to herself, Hes saying all the marketing lines I had in mind. What more can I add?
Are mature customers nowadays capable of doing their own sales pitches?
Why not choose a pure black suit? It looks more stable, Su Nai couldnt help but interject from the side.
Pure black? These days, even hotel doormen wear pure black. I dont want to be mistaken for a colleague.
Jiang Qin, after admiring himself in the mirror for a while, suddenly turned and struck a pose: Did you get a new phone? The camera seems pretty good. How about taking a photo of me in this suit?
Su Nai took out her phone and snapped two photos. Here, done.
Huh? Wheres my face?
Arent we taking a suit photo? Su Nai looked puzzled.
??????
Jiang Qin, baffled, thought to himself, Is this how programmers are? He said, I asked you to capture my handsome face, whats the use of just photographing the clothes?
Biting her teeth, Su Nai, somewhat annoyed at her bosss whims, took another two photos: Okay, done. Happy now?
Yeah, thats better. Send them to my email tonight.
Youre really vain, even more so than us girls.
Jiang Qin chuckled, then turned to the salesperson: Ill take this suit. No need to pack it, just cut off the tag. Ill wear it out.
The salesperson nodded, Sure, sir. Will that be cash?
Yes, Su Nai, go pay for it. And remember to get a receipt.
Oh.
Following the payment, Su Nai returned, muttering, Lanlan is supposed to be your part-time secretary, not me.
Lanlan has more important things to do and has already gone to prepare. Its a tradition in Room 208, the more talented you are, the more roles you play, Jiang Qin declared with an air of a seasoned capitalist.
Language is truly an art. I know youre exploiting me, yet it sounds so pleasant.
Thats well said. Dont say it again.
Jiang Qin adjusted his tie and took another look in the mirror, feeling somewhat nostalgic.
In his previous life as a business runner, he had worn black suits for many years, almost as if they were welded to his body.
Thus, he had a deep-rooted aversion to black suits, feeling suffocated just by putting them on.
Grey suits, on the other hand, felt much better and more stylish.
Lets go.
Where to?
You return to school, Im off to see others show off.
The other said Linchuan Business Elite Business Card Display Area, featuring transparent acrylic card slots already filled with numerous cards from various CEOs and Directors.
Next to these placards was a table with a sign-up sheet, a young girl handing pens to the arriving bosses.
I dont remember these things being here before?
After taking a closer look, He Yijun was slightly surprised.
This dinner is both professional and impressive. You wealthy folks really know how to enjoy yourselves.
Jiang Qin also came over to take a look, his face full of admiration.
Did you bring your business card? He Yijun turned to look at him.
Im just a college student, where would I get a business card? Besides, this is for top elites; I wouldnt dare to overstep. Its your turn, Mr. He.
Jiang Qin took a marker from the girl and handed it to He Yijun.
He Yijun signed his name and then took out a business card from his holder. But before inserting it into the display, he couldnt help but take a closer look at the girl behind the table.
Why do I feel like Ive seen you before? Look up and let me see your face.
Jiang Qin burst into laughter. Come on, Mr. He, why are you flirting with the young lady? Thats not what a good father should do. Let me do it for you. You go ahead and catch up with your old friends.
Im not flirting; she just looks familiar, He Yijun muttered as he handed the card to Jiang Qin and walked into the banquet hall, looking puzzled.
Men are truly faithful to their tastes, always preferring the younger ones.
Jiang Qin mocked as he inserted He Yijuns card into the display slot. Where did you send the hotels designated registration staff?
The girl looked up, lowering her voice, I gave him a hundred yuan to go have a meal nearby and come back in two hours.
Lanlan, youve learned well.
Its all thanks to your teachings, boss. But how did you know they would be willing to leave their business cards?
Jiang Qin flicked the placard in front of him. Mr. He said these bosses like to show off at this banquet. I figured its true. Theyre usually lonely, unable to boast to their employees, and lacking rivals. They have to take advantage of these meetings to strut their stuff.
Wei Lanlan nodded. You guessed right, boss. Just now, someone insisted on placing his card in the front row, and two others almost fought over their placement.
Theyve just played into my hands. In the game of showing off, who has more tricks up their sleeve than me? Look at this placard, Linchuan Business Elite, in bold and embossed letters. How showy! In this kind of competitive environment, you cant afford to lose face. Everyones here to show off, no ones keeping a low profile.
Is this what they call specialization in ones field?
Something like that.
Jiang Qin handed her the car keys. Collect the cards and wait for me in the car. Im going to take a look inside.
Wei Lanlan looked puzzled. Arent we here just for the business cards? Whats the point of going into that mess?
Having just a card is useless. I need to match faces to names and understand their personalities. Not everyone is suitable for collaboration, and having a card doesnt guarantee a deal. Knowing both yourself and your opponent ensures victory.
Cant you just find that information online?
What you find online is mostly fake. Only in face-to-face encounters like this can you discern useful information.
After saying this, Jiang Qin stepped into the banquet hall, scanning the crowd. He didnt see many heads with hair, but plenty with big bellies.
He found a corner with a clear view and sat down, silently observing and memorizing faces, as well as their manner of speaking and conversation topics.
Among this crowd were potential partners he had previously identified online, so remembering them wasnt too difficult.
