Do you want to knock? She was hesitating when the door opened:
"What's the matter? Who are you looking for? "
"I ..." I just plucked up my courage and flinched a little.
"Wrong place?"
"Well ... I ..."
The door is closed.
She walked slowly down the stairs, through the gate, glanced at the metal plaque of Literature Magazine again, and walked into the street, where the bright white sunshine spilled all over the floor. She raised her wrist and looked at the table below. It's almost half past one. It seems that she can't rest at noon today. In the afternoon, she is going to meet a customer of a car dealer, so she will make an advertising quotation. She quickened her pace.
She has worked in this women's magazine for nearly five years. More than a year ago, due to fierce competition, the efficiency of the magazine continued to decline, and she was transferred to the advertising department to take charge of the business. In fact, the previous work should also be done well. Wage becomes basic salary plus business commission. At that time, many colleagues had great opinions and jointly held a small strike. Finally, many people chose to leave, and the magazine became empty. She also thought about whether to leave, but after the president talked to her, she couldn't bear it. After all, it's not easy for the president to do it for so long, so keep on insisting. When she first started her business, she was really uncomfortable. All kinds of entertainment and polite remarks, including talking about kickbacks with key decision makers, made her very tired. Later, I slowly discovered some doorways. Different people use different countermeasures, and some people are arty. Let's talk about art, philosophy and teahouse. Some people talk about the country and the world, and they talk about politics and finance; Most people are still interested in all kinds of gossip, gossip and stars, and they also like to drink and sing karaoke. She keeps a close relationship with such people, listening, nodding and smiling. Although she is not good at singing, she also has some nostalgic old songs to meet the occasion. In this way, she formed her own public relations style, which was dubbed "fresh and refined" by customers, and gradually accumulated some old customers, and the president also promoted her to account manager.
She is sitting in the waiting room with the new customer service department of the magazine. Small customer service has a sharp and delicate face. One minute she shows her newly made nails, the next minute she talks about mascara, and the next minute she talks about various clothing and bag brands.
More than an hour has passed, and I haven't seen the reserved customer yet. She stood up and looked down through the glass. Dense buildings and tall scaffolding stand in the air, and rolling mountains are driven to the edge of the city.
"Well, come in." The front desk came to meet them.
Through the corridor with black glass, a cold wind came and turned several corners. Deep in the spacious office area, the front desk knocked on the door. The little customer service intervened before her. "Zhang, meet again! I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have become more handsome! I'm Xiao Min. Do you remember me? "
The little customer service seemed to be happy from the heart and extended her little hand. Manager Zhang held hands, let go and saw her.
"This is the new beauty of your company? It seems that your president's business is good, and he has recruited so many beautiful women! Tell him, don't hide beauty, take it out more! "
"Oh, Manager Zhang, people are embarrassed to say!" The delicate face of the little customer service is a little red. I don't know if it's because of excitement or I'm really sorry.
The customer service staff chose the chair nearest to Mr. Zhang to sit down, and she sat down opposite him.
"How have you been recently?" Manager Zhang asked her with a smile that had not completely disappeared.
"Well, it's a little better than last month, and the overall situation is the same." She answered with a smile.
"Your thoughts are still too conservative, women's magazines must be for women? Men like to look at women. What kind of women do men like to see? You are all engaged in that kind of intellectual literature and art, and there are so many strong women. Why do women have to be so strong? No matter how beautiful a woman is, will she be bored? Men need to see what is weak and needs protection, and what is sexy? Yes, sexy, sexy is not three-dimensional, but makes men have an impulse to care about her. Now this society, I tell you, is that I can't say anything gentle to a man. I think it's better in ancient times, and Japanese women are also good. When a man comes home after a hard day's work, a woman kneels at the door and says, dear husband, you are back! Oh, how comfortable, the fatigue of the day is gone! "
"Ah, manager zhang, you are killing me. What you said is so funny! " The little customer service giggled and bent down, covering his face with his hands, revealing his eyes bent with laughter.
"I said is not necessarily right, but it is true. You see, a little beauty like you should be in your magazine! " Manager Zhang ha ha smiled, picked up a cigar, lit it, and then took a mouthful.
"The general manager quickly told our president that I still have to charge the model fee!" The little customer service wiped her tears with the back of her hand.
"No problem, no problem, as long as you come more in the future!" Manager Zhang said ha ha.
She has been listening, with a faint smile on her face:
"Mr. Zhang, after listening to what you just said, I have an idea. If we make a series of women off-road vehicles in this issue and show the free and easy side of women, will it be very bright and in line with the small off-road vehicle series you want to launch? "
"Hey, what you said is interesting. Very free and easy, and very sexy. However, there must be a man, a woman in denim shorts, leaning on a muscular man's arm. How's it going? It's wild Ok, I think so, hahaha! "
"Well, it is not impossible for a man to appear, but it is possible that the target group is not clearly locked. I still suggest a model with long skirts and elegant temperament. The background is a rough original background, so there will be a strong contrast. I think women's masculinity is from the inside out, and men will weaken this expression. "
"Look, you still don't understand what I mean. You are from a woman's point of view. We should drive an SUV with a skirt from a man's point of view. That's not true. It is neither fish nor fowl. Look at 007, how cool. Heroes save the United States. Everyone loves to watch it. Those ancient emperors did not love mountains and rivers, but only loved beauty! "
"Hey, Manager Zhang, what you said is very interesting, but what our manager said is also very reasonable. Let me see, it's not denim shorts or long skirts. Guess what it is, Manager Zhang? " The little customer service asked with a smile.
"It can't be a bikini!"
The little customer service clapped their hands and said, "Brilliant! Very close. Where's the uniform? Maid clothes, on the one hand, advocate that we women should return to the family, on the other hand, express that we women also yearn for a broad world, and being with a handsome boy is absolutely wonderful! "
"Ha, ha, ha, I think you little beauties are very thoughtful. Maid clothes, hahaha, ok, but there will be association dolls that make people have a lot of rich movements, hahaha! "
She can't laugh anymore.
"Zhang, advertising creativity is mainly not our responsibility, and ultimately depends on you. Then the product copy of this issue will be written according to what you just meant. What do you think? "
"Yes, yes, let's read it first. You still have to understand what I just said and carry it out! "
"Manager Zhang, let's talk about advertising now. This is our advertising quotation. Please have a look! "
The little customer service felt that the time was ripe, stood up and walked beside Mr. Zhang, handed over the advertising quotations, bent down, let his hair hang freely and hung beside Mr. Zhang's face.
"You are still a little expensive, ah, yes, we are old customers." Manager Zhang raised his head, and the small customer service took a small step back and looked at him with a crooked head.
"Not expensive, not expensive, Mr. Zhang. This is the conscience price of the floor. Really, I promise you! " The little customer service put up three fingers to curse.
"Well, Mr. Zhang, we chose a hard and wide layout for you this time. As you know, this is the best advertising position. At the same time, we also attach an in-depth report. And now the competition of off-road vehicles is fierce. Although this small off-road vehicle you launched has selling points, it also has risks. Paying more attention to advertisements will definitely help your overall promotion effect and reduce it.
"Well, what you said makes sense, but the price is still a little expensive. Do you think they are all engaged in online marketing now? A wechat is only a few dollars, and it still has no effect when combined with gossip hotspots. Why do you need to spend so much money on magazines, right? " He continued to spit out a few mouthfuls of cigarettes and looked at her thoughtfully.
She looked at the customer service and said, "Wait for me outside, and I'll tell manager Zhang again." The little customer service smiled at Mr. Zhang, walked to the door, waved his hand gently and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Zhang, please come to our magazine more often. I'll wait for you to see me!" "
Manager Zhang waved a cigarette in his hand, and the blue smoke circled, rose and dissipated in the air.
She took a bottle of wine from her bag and put it on the table. "Mr. Zhang, this is a bottle of wine specially brought to you by our president when he went to America last time. I don't know if it suits your taste. "
Mr. Zhang picked up the wine, squinted, looked around and put it on the table: "Haha, it's very thoughtful of your president. Thank him for me."
She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind: "Manager Zhang, how about we press 15 this time, 5 points more than last time?"
"Ha ha, will your burden be too heavy?"
She breathed a sigh of relief: "No, thank you for your support all the time!" "
"Then I see, just press 20 points!"
After a short silence, she finally stood up and said, "All right."
"That's all, by the way, a new bar has recently opened in the new city, and it can sing. Do you want me to show you later? "
"Well, I see ... all right. Then we will wait for you outside. "
"good!"
After dinner and singing, she paid the money and went back to the street. It's already late at night 10. The little customer service jumped up and down, sang a lot of songs, and shook dice and drank with Manager Zhang. He looks very happy. She didn't drink much and didn't sing much. She has been watching them play.
"Manager, you won't, won't think I'm a bad girl?" The small customer service is wobbly, and some words are not satisfactory.
"In fact, you know, I will know that the old fox is a sex maniac. What he said was that he wanted to be protected by men. He is from the Qin Dynasty, isn't he? Haha, that's funny. But, but, manager, you know, even now, there are so few advertisements in our magazine. He is a big customer. Like him, the manager will not do whatever he wants, will he? So, I just gave my life for our magazine, hahaha. "
"I'll send it back first."
"No, really, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. You have to go back to the company to write a manuscript. It's midnight. Finish early and go home early! " The little customer service stopped a taxi, reached out from the window, waved and left.
The traffic in the street is still very heavy, so she should be on her way home. She walked in the opposite direction to the company. There are still more than half of the windows in the building with lights on, and people inside are walking around with things. She walked into the magazine, greeted her colleagues who were still working overtime, went to the computer desk and opened a blank word:
The heroic feelings of the goddess
E road ahead, the world is in full swing.
(shallow dual, shallow homophonic game)
The unparalleled cross-country weather vane leads the global driving experience, and the new generation of small cross-country series takes you into an extraordinary journey that you have never experienced before. Thanks to our ancestors, we invented so many synonyms to express uniqueness. It is a combination of various top hybrid technologies, with a power output of 1.050 horsepower and a torque output of 900 Nm. The power part is provided by two engines, with long wheelbase, perfect balance and four-wheel drive. Whether it's modeling, manipulation or exhaust sound, every element can trigger your strongest desire to drive and conquer. Thanks to modern physics, there are so many awkward language combinations.
Wild, free, enterprising, controlling goddess, heroic feelings, control of the world outside capital, loneliness of the world! (The words of heavy metal sense overlap, creating a daunting sense of high price)
She didn't look at it She clicked Close and Shut Down.
She likes midnight, when the wheels pass through clusters of trees and the street lamps give off soft light. Is the name of Fitzgerald's novel also produced at such a moment? She took out her mobile phone, clicked on the reading software, and an imperceptible smile appeared on her lips. The Story of Weeds, The Awakening Forest, The Biography of Cancer, A Brief History of Mankind, The String of the Universe, The Story, Five Little Pigs, Laughter in the Dark, The Orphan Train. This is her treasure. Reading became a habit when she was a child. She still remembers that during summer vacation and winter vacation, she often sat in the yard or on the ridge, forgetting the time and the cold. She read until it was getting late and could no longer read the words on the book, then closed the book and walked home. She is naturally fond of words, but seldom reads picture books. Adults often touch her head and say:
"Look how strange this little girl is."
She opened the book: The Library on the Cliff: "One day in August, Delia received a strange invitation letter. At that time, she was watering the blooming corn poppy grass in the yard, and the sunshine flowed in the air like a hot spring soaked with honey. She caught a glimpse of a white letter in the mailbox. She put down the kettle and walked over. On the white cover, blue ripples rippled gently like sea water, and a raised cliff loomed from the ripples. She saw a strange word: cliff library. " At first glance, the attractive beginning is her favorite type. The wheel turned one corner after another and turned into an alley. She completely lost track of time. When she got home, put down her bag and took a bath, she couldn't wait to adjust her pillow and lie down in the most comfortable position.
The advantage of mobile phone reading software is that you can adjust the angle at any time without holding a heavy book. This is a story about a group of writers writing in a library on a cliff. Writers from Japan, Chile, the United States, Australia, South Africa and Hungary were taken to the cliff surrounded by the sea by an anonymous invitation letter. There is a magnificent library that they have never seen before, and there are many books, materials, archives and secret history that they can't find. There is everything there. Every writer has his own library, and every library can see the best sea view. They seem to be in the forest of books. On the big table with oak fragrance and on the balcony covered with exquisite Persian carpet, they can enjoy the beautiful scenery while reading and writing. There are full-time service staff to prepare delicious food from all over the world for them. Of course, in the end, they each wrote a story. The author seems to be ostentatiously trying the style, deeply imitating and exploring the cultural traditions and novel styles of various countries, and each story is wonderful. She doesn't know when she fell asleep. In her dream, the waves washed the cliff over and over again, making a rushing sound. She walked into the library, as if she had walked into the paradise she had dreamed of for many years. She greedily ran her fingers across the spine of each book, trying to scream happily.
The next day, she woke up very late, and the scene in her dream still lingered sweetly in a corner of her mind. If there is such a library, she will exchange everything she has now. The phone rang. A sweet voice reminded her that there was a blind date at 2 pm. It took her a while to understand what the other party was saying. She grabbed her mobile phone and showed Saturday, 13:30, and the reality came back.
This blind date was introduced to her by a little girl who sent a bill when she got into the subway after work. She didn't want to answer it, but the little girl chased her all the way, which made her feel a little sorry. But once she took it, she regretted it. The little girl excitedly made out with her sister bit by bit, as if they were really her own sisters. After figuring out the situation, she refused directly. On the one hand, she never thought about dating, on the other hand, she vaguely felt that she was not qualified to date. But the little girl looks as if she is going to cry. She trotted off to buy a cup of hot coffee and handed it to her. She pulled out a chair, patted it and said, "Sister, sit down. I tell you, sister! " At last she had to agree, but later she completely forgot about it. The little girl called just now to remind her not to forget. Besides, she is already waiting for her downstairs. Hey, I can't help it. She washed her face hastily, put on a dress casually without makeup, picked up her bag and went downstairs.
A pink van is parked downstairs with a darker pink balloon tied around it. The little girl ran to her with joy and welcomed her into the car. There are several young women sitting in the car, middle-aged women. Seeing her get on the bus, everyone looked up at her and bowed their heads quickly. She felt very embarrassed and even wanted to get off the bus at once. At this moment, the little girl handed her a leaflet and opened it: "94240, I just love you!" " "She couldn't help laughing, thinking of homophonic copy written last night, and now the streets are full of such slogans. Once, in the era of advertising masters, they emphasized the insight of human nature and the voice of emotion, and wrote many exquisite long articles; But after so many years of writing, she has never liked this kind of writing, which is both sensational and bitter, and contains a hidden commodity utilitarian appeal. Deep down, she felt that one day, she would write her favorite story.
But what is the story? I have no idea whether to wait for her in the distance of time.
Just thinking, the destination has arrived. Walking into an arch made of pink balloons, music suddenly fell from the ceiling and exploded violently. There are more than a dozen colorful ropes hanging in the center of the hall, and plastic clips for hanging clothes are used to clip everyone's photos on them. Suddenly, she saw her photo shaking slightly on the rope in front of her, and she realized what a stupid thing she had done.
"Hi, hello, are you here on a blind date?" The sound came from behind.
"Me? Are you talking to me? " A man, wearing a black suit, a light blue shirt, a pair of light yellow pants, a pair of pointed shoes, with his hair combed high and floating backwards. He smiled and held out his hand.
She hesitated to hold out her hand, but he had pulled it back. "Never mind, never mind, I didn't want to wipe your oil!" I am in sales. Now I have a house in my name, which is not big, but it is also a house. There is also a car, not a famous brand, but it is also a car. What about you? What do you do? "
She was thinking about how to answer, and he went on with a smile. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. We're not auditing, are we? Haha, it doesn't matter whether you get married or not. I sell water dispensers. You know. "
He pulled out a leaflet from behind like magic. "You see, that's it, little angel water dispenser, now or never! Why is it an angel? Because our water dispenser is not like the big water dispenser on the market now. You know, if you can't finish drinking in a big water dispenser for a few days, bacteria will breed, which is very bad for the human body. Our water dispenser, with a capacity of just one day, can be described as a technological innovation product, and we deliver it to your door. I think your skin is a little yellow, probably because the water is unsanitary. If you use our little angel water dispenser, you will really become as young and beautiful as an angel. Next time you come on a blind date, you will be chased by many people, haha! How about it? If you don't mind, add WeChat! "
She took out her mobile phone and scanned WeChat, and he suddenly disappeared like a sudden pop-up. She walked slowly in the hall with the crowd. The men were obviously more enthusiastic, looking at the photos on the rope one by one. Some people even read aloud: "Returnee, an enterprise executive, 34 years old, height 1.56 meters, has a house and a car. Well, the conditions are very good, but a little sorry for the audience! " The man who came with that man smiled and went to see the next one. She secretly took down her photo and found a quiet little table to sit down. Across the table sat a middle-aged man reading a newspaper.
"Are you bored?" The middle-aged man looked up from the newspaper, gave her a look and asked.
"Well ..." She answered vaguely.
"I feel that you are different from them." The man looked at her thoughtfully and said.
"Oh, will it?" She said something unnatural and silent.
"You should like reading very much, right?"
How did he know?
"I can see that you belong to that kind of person with connotation. Once in a while, don't mind, I'm not saying you don't look good. " A man's calm voice doesn't look like a frivolous person.
"What newspaper did you read just now?" She doesn't know what to say.
"Reference news, I have seen it for many years, and there are many important news about the international situation. Would you like to have a look? "
She shook her head, but took the newspaper he handed me: The war in the Middle East has resumed, and what is the intention of the US-Japan joint statement? She put down the newspaper.
"Yes, you ladies don't like to watch these. Men always pretend to be at home and abroad to make themselves look deep. What books do you usually read? "
She thought for a moment and asked, "What about you?"
"I," said the man with bright and excited eyes, "have been reading management and philosophy, marketing and leadership recently." I may have sensed the change in her eyes, and he continued, "I also like reading literary books, such as The Count of Monte Cristo and three musketeers."
"Oh."
Then they talked about a lot of books, which was more speculative. What he said is humorous and steady, and the evaluation of some books is also in line with her ideas.
Walking out of the hall, the sunshine outside became much softer. She felt a little thirsty and couldn't find a canteen nearby. She walked across the street and bought a bottle of water, only to find that not far away, the man was chatting with a woman in a red skirt who was about 30 years old. He put his hand on her waist and two cats got on the bus. She couldn't help being surprised.
