Meng Qiulan took Shen Modi to choose jewelry again.
Shen Modi herself was a jewelry designer, so she had a strong perception of jewelry.
At a glance, she took a fancy to a jade pendant that was especially suitable for Meng Qiulan's temperament.
The whole jade pendant was clear and translucent, with good texture and water quality.
The price tag was over 170,000 yuan.
For Shen Modi, this price was too high.
But for this jade pendant, it was actually a price worthy of its quality.
Shen Modi pointed at the jade pendant and asked Meng Qiulan, "Mom, do you like this jade pendant?"
Meng Qiulan also liked this jade pendant. It was clean, translucent, and without any impurities. Although the price was a bit on the low side, it didn't matter. When buying things, as long as you liked them, that was okay.
She smiled and said, "I like it!"
"I'll buy it for you." Shen Modi said.
She didn't have money herself, so she would use Huo Mingze's card first.
Later, when her father's and younger brother's situations became more stable, she would work hard to earn money.
She would also strive to prepare for the Zhongding Cup competition and try to get a good ranking.
If by any chance she could make it into the top few, she would be able to pay back the money she had spent.
"Okay!" Meng Qiulan readily accepted.
She liked it when Shen Modi spent money.
Although she hadn't known Shen Modi for a long time, she liked this child.
She was a sensitive and grateful child.
Seeing that her mother-in-law had accepted, Shen Modi immediately asked the salesperson to take it down.
It felt even better when she held it in her hand. The jade was so translucent and without any impurities.
"Mom, let me put it on for you to try." Shen Modi was a bit delighted.
She really liked this jade pendant. It had a gentle and elegant temperament, especially suitable for her mother-in-law.
"Okay." Meng Qiulan smiled and lifted the hair that was draped over her shoulder.
Shen Modi helped her mother-in-law put it on.
Meng Qiulan had a smile on her face all the time.
Looking in the mirror, Shen Modi could also see the smile on her mother-in-law's face.
Her heart was warmed once again.
She had been poor since childhood, so she was more sensitive to people's expressions and had a stronger perception than ordinary people.
"How nice it looks!" Meng Qiulan touched the jade pendant and sighed as she looked in the mirror.
"I'm glad you like it. I'm just presenting a borrowed flower as a gift. I used Mingze's money, but I'll work hard too." Shen Modi said sincerely.
If the Huo family really gave her a chance to work hard, she also wanted to give it a try.
"Silly child, you and Mingze have already got the marriage certificate. You're a legal couple. What's his is yours. There's no need to make such a clear distinction. Come on, Mom will choose some jewelry for you."
"Mom, I don't need it. Mingze has already bought some for me." Shen Modi said immediately.
"What Mingze bought represents his feelings, and what Mom buys represents Mom's feelings." Meng Qiulan smiled all over her face and asked the salesperson to bring several pieces of jewelry.
Anyway, whatever she liked, she would ask Shen Modi to try them on.
After trying them on, she would say they were nice and insist on buying them.
Shen Modi was really worried when she saw that her mother-in-law had already picked out four or five pieces and still didn't stop.
Meng Qiulan was afraid that Shen Modi would be under too much pressure, so she smiled and said, "There aren't any particularly nice ones left. We'll come to choose again when they have new styles."
Shen Modi heaved a sigh of relief, "Okay, Mom."
"Are you tired?" Meng Qiulan asked Shen Modi.
Shen Modi shook her head, "Mom, I'm not tired."
"I'm a bit tired." Meng Qiulan smiled.
Shen Modi immediately said, "Mom, shall we find a place to have a rest and have some desserts?"
The cashier counter was right beside them. Shen Modi walked towards the cashier counter. She was ready to pay the bill and then find a place to rest.
Meng Qiulan took out her bank card and wanted to pay together.
Shen Modi insisted that she would pay for the jade pendant with her card.
"Okay." Meng Qiulan smiled and then said, "Later, you accompany Mom to have a SPA."
She didn't say "let's go together" because she was afraid that Shen Modi would refuse.
"Okay." Shen Modi took Huo Mingze's card to pay.
At the Huo Group.
Huo Mingze was holding a special seminar on the development of the southern suburbs plot.
He advocated building high-quality villas to continuously build the reputation of the Huo Group.
Huo Zhengqin held the opposite opinion.
He advocated building high-rise residential buildings.
He said that the reputation of the Huo Group was already very good and there was no need to build it up any further.
The southern suburbs were far from the central urban area, and the target customers should be middle and low-end customers. Therefore, the best way was to build high-rises. The higher the buildings were, the more units there would be, the larger the building area would be, and the more profits there would naturally be. Moreover, high-rises were cheaper and easier to sell than villas.
The executives had a big dispute. One group supported Huo Mingze, and the other group supported Huo Zhengqin, and neither side had an obvious advantage.
Everyone was arguing heatedly.
Huo Mingze stated the purpose of his intention to build villas and the various advantages of villas.
The purpose of the Huo Group was to continuously create good products instead of being blinded by money and killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.
The price of villas could be slightly higher than the market price, and the final profit would not be much worse than that of high-rises.
At the same time, their products would make customers live comfortably.
With a better reputation, customers would also pay attention to other products of the Huo Group.
Before he had even finished stating his points, Huo Zhengqin interrupted him, saying that he was too idealistic. They were businessmen, not philanthropists.
Businessmen should always focus on profits.
When they could make money, they should try their best to make as much as possible. Having more capital was the key.
Huo Zhengqin's view was supported by many executives.
Huo Mingze subconsciously frowned.
He hated this kind of eager-for-quick-success-and-instant-benefit model the most.
Assistant Lu, sitting beside him, didn't dare to breathe loudly when he saw Huo Mingze frowning. The president was about to lose his temper. The president hated it the most when someone didn't attach importance to the reputation of the Huo Group and just wanted to make quick money.
Huo Mingze's cell phone vibrated.
Assistant Lu complained in his heart. Who was so bold as to seek death at this time?
He had been following Huo Mingze for seven years and knew him very well. At work, he was very serious, and he would lose his temper if his work was interrupted.
Huo Mingze picked up his cell phone and took a look. He saw that 170,000 yuan had been spent on the supplementary card.
Suddenly, his frown disappeared. Finally, his wife had used his card.
Assistant Lu's eyes widened. Was he not angry anymore?
He immediately peeked at the consumption record.
The president's anger disappeared just because his wife had made a purchase.
Goodness! He must hold on tightly to the thigh of the president's younger brother-in-law.
Huo Mingze put down his cell phone and said, "Today's meeting has seen a big dispute among everyone. It's a good thing that different opinions can be put forward. After the meeting, everyone should write down their ideas in a written plan and submit them. I have only one request. The Huo Group is the foundation for all of us, and our customers are our real breadwinners. I hope that when you are making the plans, you will truly consider the customers. I still say that those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Winning the hearts of the people doesn't rely on empty promises but on creating truly good products. The meeting is adjourned!"
After saying that, he took the lead to walk out of the conference room.
Several people who were familiar with Huo Mingze's temperament looked at him with very strange eyes.
A group of executives had ignored the reputation of the Huo Group, but he didn't lose his temper?
They were really curious about what message Huo Mingze had received.
Some curious executives saw that Huo Mingze had left and immediately quietly asked Assistant Lu:
"Assistant Lu, who sent a message to the president just now?"
"Assistant Lu, what was going on just now?"
"Lu Chen, bring in the documents to be processed this afternoon." Huo Mingze's dissatisfied voice came.
There were too many things to deal with. After dealing with them, he still had to go to pick up the customized wedding ring in the afternoon.
