He Yuqi found a job as a salesperson. He broke his leg every morning, but his performance was just passable and his income was only enough for food and clothing, which made him very depressed. On this day, he ran late again, but still got nothing. He came home dejected, only to see his father happily trying on a new pair of shoes and walking around the house. As soon as he entered the door, his father happily called him: "Xiao Qi, come and take a look, how are these new shoes your mother bought for me?"
He Yuqi leaned over to take a look, and her nose was almost crooked. The shoes his father bought were exactly the shoes he sold. When he first arrived at the company, he also felt that these shoes were good, so he bought a pair for his parents. He held back his anger and asked, "Where are the shoes I bought for you?" Dad said, "They are on the cabinet." He Yuqi said, "Aren't these shoes the same as the shoes I bought for you?"
Mom and Dad were stunned for a moment. His mom quickly ran into the bedroom, took the two pairs of shoes from the top of the cabinet, and took them out to compare, they were not exactly the same. He Yuqi said: "Your son runs around all day to sell shoes. That's good, you bought someone else's shoes instead. If this is going to spread out, how can your son save face? How can it be embarrassing?"
His mother frowned as well. She looked at the two pairs of shoes and suddenly smiled and said, "These two pairs of shoes are different. I didn't buy the wrong shoes." He Yuqi held back her anger and asked, "Then tell me, what's the difference?" His mother looked at the two pairs of shoes again and said, "Look, these shoes are worn on your father's feet, and they are ironed more. The pair you bought is a little bit worse." He Yuqi choked back and almost choked to death. He was stunned for a while before he said, "Dad, Mom, you bought these shoes, I won't say anything. But let me tell you, these two pairs of shoes are produced by the same factory and distributed by our company, which is not bad at all. I just want to ask, who sold them to you? I really admire his ability. You all have shoes at home, and he can persuade you to buy his shoes. It's really an ability!"
When Mom and Dad heard this, they relaxed and told him that the person selling the shoes was an old man in his 70s, who looked very ordinary and had no characteristics. He Yuqi was stunned. The salespeople in the company are all young people, how can an old man come out? He had a big knot in his heart.
The next day, when he went out early, he accidentally met his old classmate Fei Yiming at the gate of the community. The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and He Yuqi asked him why he came here. Fei Yiming said that he worked in the monitoring room of the community. He Yuqi had an idea and asked if he could help him find the person who sold the shoes. Fei Yiming didn't like the old classmate, so he agreed.
He Yuqi followed Fei Yiming to the monitoring room. Fei Yiming searched for him for a while, and finally found the surveillance camera and showed it to him. He Yuqi slowed down and took a closer look, but she couldn't help but get more confused. The one who sold the shoes to Dad was indeed an old man, and this old man was definitely not from their company, he had never seen them before. Why would this old man promote their company's shoes? Their company has regulations. In order to maintain fair competition among employees, the shoes sent to employees are at a uniform price, and they are absolutely not allowed to be sold at a low price. That is, if the old man is not an employee of their company, he can only get the shoes at the market price and sell them to Dad at the market price, then he will not make a penny. As the saying goes: If you don't want three points of profit, who gets up earlier? Then there is only one possibility: a colleague is selling at a low price! He wanted to see who that colleague who violated the rules was.
He Yuqi made up his mind, wrote down the old man's appearance, and then returned to the company. As soon as he arrived at the company, he went to the sales department, called out the information of the employees, and studied it carefully. Usually, they were busy running around doing sales, and only when they held a regular meeting every month could everyone meet.
He had seen the dozen or so in front of him, and he looked nothing like the old man. He was disappointed. The next one was the sales champion Liu Xiaochao. He was about to flash over. But at that moment, he suddenly thought of the old man's face. He hurried to reverse the photo of Liu Xiaochao and looked at it carefully. Oh, how similar the two were. He immediately concluded that the old man was Liu Xiaochao's father. This discovery was really extraordinary.
He Yuqi's mind was running fast. How can he make good use of this information? He was not the kind of villain who stabbed in the back, he just wanted to know the secret and see if it was useful for his work.
There is no home address in the employee information, but this is not difficult for He Yuqi. Others give the goods directly to the buyer. His Liu Xiaochao's father helped him sell the shoes, so he can't pick them up in the warehouse. He can only take the shoes home and store part of them. After tracking like this, he can't find Liu Xiaochao's house? Sure enough, he found Liu Xiaochao's house on the afternoon of the third day. Just as he thought, Liu Xiaochao took the goods home, and his father, the old man, came out to help him unload the goods. Now he dares to conclude that Liu Xiaochao is a father and son, and it is no wonder that he can win the championship. However, He Yuqi still doesn't understand one thing. Liu Xiaochao and his father sell several times more shoes than him. His father is just an ordinary little old man, how can he have such a great ability?
In order to understand the mystery, He Yuqi also stopped selling shoes and specialized in tracking.
This morning, as soon as it was dawn, he went to the vicinity of Liu Xiaochao's house. At 6 o'clock, Liu Xiaochao's father went out in a sports suit, got on a bus, took 10 stops, got off, entered a community, and then ran in the street park. At this time, there are many people exercising in the street park, most of them are the elderly, some jumping, some sword training, some playing ball, walking, but very few running. Running as fast as Liu Xiaochao's father is even more rare. Therefore, it is very eye-catching. After a few laps, he started doing soothing exercises. Several old people gathered around him and asked him with a smile, "Brother, you can still run at this age. Your body is really good." Liu Xiaochao's father smiled and said, "Not bad. Regular exercise makes you look more energetic."
Several old people surrounded him and chatted about the elderly's health care and sports. As they chatted, Liu Xiaochao's father invisibly led the topic to sports equipment, saying that if you want to exercise, you must have the right equipment, which can achieve the effect of sports without causing damage to the body. As he said it, he stood up and let everyone see his equipment. It is actually very simple to say that it is equipment, but it is clothes, shoes, socks, and knee pads and wrist guards. Especially his shoes, which are comfortable, ironed, elastic, and non-slip, are most suitable for the elderly. He also took off his shoes and let the old people try them on. The few tried it, even said it was comfortable, and then asked him where he bought the shoes and how much they cost. Liu Xiaochao's father said that his son's company distributes these shoes to ensure the quality. If everyone really wants to buy them, he can ask his son to give him a discount, and he can send more, so that everyone can choose whatever they want. As soon as everyone heard this, they said, "Then let your son send some over quickly." Liu Xiaochao's father called Liu Xiaochao.
He Yuqi immediately understood that Liu Xiaochao had asked his father to become a model for this shoe. This was more convincing than what he said. No wonder Liu Xiaochao became the sales champion.
He Yuqi touched the trick, and as soon as she rolled her eyes, she had an idea. He Liu Xiaochao only asked his father to come forward, and he could let his parents come forward together, which would take it to the next level.
It was not an easy task to ask his parents to help him sell shoes. His father and mother were both government officials, so how could they have done such a thing? They couldn't bring themselves to be ashamed. However, it couldn't be difficult for He Yuqi. He knew his parents' thoughts too well.
As soon as she got home, He Yuqi pretended to be very depressed. She sat on the sofa and said nothing. Her mother felt sorry for her son and hurriedly came over to ask, "Son, what's the matter?" He Yuqi said, "I haven't opened for 5 days. If I continue like this, I will have to resign myself if I don't wait for the family to fire me." Mom was anxious when she heard that: "I finally found a job, don't quit. Tell me, how can we help you?"
Before He Yuqi could speak, his father said first, "Why don't I buy you 10 pairs of shoes first?" He Yuqi was enraged: "You bought so many shoes, you boil them and eat them?" Mom rolled her eyes at Dad and said, "That's right. I bought 10 pairs this month, and you will buy 10 pairs next month? What you said is not an idea at all!" Dad glared at them: "Then what do you think should be done?" He Yuqi said unhurriedly: "Help me sell it."
As soon as He Yuqi said his idea, his parents really couldn't object, so they had to bite the bullet. He didn't expect that the two of them had a high prestige in the community, and as soon as they came out to be promoted, more people came to buy shoes. They also learned from Liu Xiaochao's father, went to other communities to do publicity, and showed up.
As expected, the strength of the two of them was far greater than that of Liu Xiaochao's father alone, and the sales of shoes soared, and after a month, they surpassed Liu Xiaochao, the sales champion. He Yuqi not only got a high commission, but also got a big red envelope rewarded by the boss. He did not forget to give his parents who had made outstanding contributions to him, and specially invited them out for a meal. He also remembered that Liu Xiaochao's secret helped him, and he specially invited Liu Xiaochao to drink.
After drinking two glasses of wine, Liu Xiaochao smiled slyly and asked him, "Why did you invite me to drink for no reason?" He Yuqi didn't hide it: "You reminded me that you asked your father to be a model for you, and I imitated your appearance to get today's results. I should thank you."
Hearing this, Liu Xiaochao shook his head helplessly, sighed heavily and said, "My dad has worked hard for me all his life and retired. It is said that he should have a good rest. I am really ashamed to let him be so busy. But there is nothing I can do about it. Other than that, I can't think of a better way." Hearing Liu Xiaochao's words, it was obvious that there was something in the words. He Yuqi hurriedly asked him what was going on. Liu Xiaochao didn't want to hide it from him, so he said it one by one.
It turned out that after Liu Xiaochao's parents retired, they wanted to spend their old age happily. Who would have thought that his mother suddenly fell ill and died within a few months of retiring two years ago? His father loved his mother, and he could not calm down for a while, and his will was very depressed. Liu Xiaochao was anxious in his eyes, but he had no idea for a while. One day, when he was pruning his own flowers and plants, he suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon: when the hanging orchid grew, a slender stalking would grow from the plant, and a few new shoots would grow on the stalking. New shoots could be broken off and planted, and then they could be propagated into new plants. Stalking that broke off the new shoots would gradually dry up because it had no effect. The toes that have not broken off the new shoots will continue to deliver nutrients to the new shoots and will not die for several years.
He was immediately enlightened. He immediately thought of a way to get his father to help him sell. Sure enough, as soon as his father had something to do, he immediately became refreshed. He wasn't happy with the extra money, but was happy for his father to come out of the shadows.
Hearing this, He Yuqi couldn't help but sigh. Understanding Liu Xiaochao's good intentions, his face suddenly turned red. His parents were living a happy retirement life, but they were forcibly pulled over by him to sell, which was really unfilial. Fortunately, he invited Liu Xiaochao to drink and found out the truth of the matter, so he knew what to do...
