For example, a male student defrauded a female student of one million points. This is one thing, but the thing itself is intelligence, which often affects the direction of analysis.
But the Intelligence Department only records each student's qualifications, talents, grades, and various indexes.
The Adjudication Department and the Interrogation Department do not receive as much information as the Supervision Department, such as the fraud mentioned above.
If during the process of the Supervision Department, the Interrogation Department and the Adjudication Department, it is determined in advance that the fraud is not true, then the matter will not be reported to the Adjudication Department. The same is true for the Interrogation Department.
As for the Propaganda Department, Li Tao believed that it was the department that most closely followed the school's policy makers. Although it was just a messenger, rumors among students often leaked out from here.
"Li Tao, what are you thinking about?"
This time it was Yixuan's turn to wave her little hands in front of Li Tao's face.
"Uh, if there's news that the student union has started recruiting new members, please let me know in advance."
"Yes, if those departments are recruiting new members, they will come to our department to help promote them. I will tell you the first time."
"Thank you. I might want to talk to you in a few days about how to win the election... Do you think you are free?"
"Ah, when I'm free, the competition for the school student union is indeed fierce. It's really difficult if I don't understand and prepare in advance... I'm not saying I'm great..." Yi Xuan blushed, afraid that Li Tao would misunderstand her as showing off.
Anyone with a brain knows how difficult it is to compete for a position in the school student union, especially at Luma University, where there are so many evil people.
"Of course you are amazing. The fact that you were able to stand out from so many people and join the student union has already proven that."
"I don't... I just like words. My parents are civil servants, so I'm influenced by them. I'm nothing special..."
Yi Xuan was almost crying. It seemed that she was really not used to being praised by others.
"Okay, I won't say anything more. But I haven't decided which department to choose yet. When I want to take the exam in a while, I will contact you and ask you for help through the back door." Li Tao joked.
Yi Xuan licked her lips and whispered, "You can use my backdoor...but you can only use it if you run for the Propaganda Department. I don't know anyone in other departments."
Li Tao likes Yi Xuan's personality very much. She is introverted but not pedantic. She is not averse to personal connections and business. He wonders if it is the influence of her parents who are civil servants.
"Well, I'll get off at the next stop. I have something to do. Let's talk on the phone."
Li Tao stood up with the help of the backrest. When getting off the car, Yi Xuan reminded him to remember to let her have a meal with Liu Renna.
Half a month is not a very urgent matter, so Li Tao doesn't need to think about it for now.
His first priority was to run the flower shop well and figure out how to resolve Ah Cha's problem.
While thinking, Li Tao quickened his pace. He needed to make some modifications to the decoration of the flower shop.
Chapter 165 Intelligence base?
Although he had expected it, Li Tao still felt a little awkward when he saw the student-like childishness of the decorators.
The man standing at the door of the flower shop was holding a small notebook and seemed to be the leader of the team.
After Li Tao made eye contact with him, he took the initiative to walk up to him and start a conversation.
"Brother, um... I am an employee of this flower shop. If there is anything you need to confirm during the decoration process, just tell me directly."
"Oh, you are Mr. Li?"
"Yes, Li Tao."
"My name is Duan Yu, and I'm a designer at Jiasu Design Studio."
"Nice to meet you, Jiasu. I've heard of you a very famous interior design company on campus."
After Li Tao finished praising him, he also took the initiative to shake hands with him. His attitude was really good.
Duan Yu had an extremely strange expression on his face. After holding it in for a long time, he lowered his voice and said, "Well, Jiasu was just founded this semester, and this flower shop is our third business."
Li Tao was not embarrassed. He nodded, as if it was of course so, and said slowly: "Yes, I really like the style of your second design. It just shows the most original and authentic flavor of the building."
Duan Yu's eyelids twitched, his face flushed, and he said with a stiff face: "The first two orders have not been completed yet..."
After all, this semester has only started for more than half a month, and they are just a startup studio.
Li Tao remained calm, after all, his original intention was to express goodwill. It was good that Duan Yu could see that he was flattering her, because isn't flattery a kind of goodwill?
The reason why he expressed goodwill in this way was mainly because he had to maintain a good relationship with Duan Yu during this period of time.
Because now, the construction team is Qiulan's eyes.
As long as she had a close relationship with them, Qiulan would not know if she skipped work occasionally.
What's more, Li Tao wanted to make some changes to his style. If he wanted to surpass Qiu Lan, he naturally had to have enough affection with this group of people.
Thinking of this, Li Tao continued: "And it doesn't need to be completed. By looking at the construction process, we can foresee the results."
He paused after he finished speaking, then turned to look at the coffee shop opposite the flower shop. In a trance, he seemed to feel a kind of open and magnanimous atmosphere surrounding him.
"For example, yesterday, I sat in the coffee shop across the street the whole afternoon, observing you guys the whole time."
"Although you were a little unfamiliar during this period, at least your attitude was responsible in my opinion."
Li Tao is talking nonsense and making assumptions based on common sense.
In most industries, a newly established small company will be hectic in its first few business deals, but the energy it invests is far greater than those of established companies.
Li Tao patted Duan Yu on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Although I am just a clerk, there are only two people in this flower shop, me and the manager, so you must think that I am equivalent to the deputy manager."
"I'm afraid that my presence here will distract you and interrupt the working state you've finally entered."
"Ah? Is that so? I was wondering why I didn't see you. Hey, brother, you are so thoughtful." Duan Yu was so moved that he almost cried.
"This is the first time we have come into contact with the interior structure of this house. So after we arrived yesterday afternoon, we were in a mess and couldn't get anything done. As the deputy store manager, you could have come and reprimanded us, and you could have also reported to the store manager to complain about us, but..."
Duan Yu beat his stomach as if he was going to commit suicide.
Li Tao's mouth curled up slightly. He was promoted to deputy store manager without any trace.
"By the way, brother, did the store manager give you a hard time? She called me this morning and I didn't know about it, so tell her you didn't come yesterday. She can't deduct your salary or anything."
Li Tao waved his hand with an expression that said "are you kidding me?"
"Of course not. The way we get along has never been that of a superior and a subordinate. We are more like... a brother and a sister. She often asks for my opinion. We each own 50% of the shares in this flower shop."
"Oh! That's what happened, that's true~"
Li Tao raised one hand, pressed his palm against his lips, and forced back his smile.
Why does he feel like a big liar? Duan Yu is almost fooled by him.
Patting Duan Yu who looked regretful and self-blaming, Li Tao comforted him, "Let's go in first. Although everything is generally good, there are some minor issues that I noticed when I was observing from the opposite side yesterday."
"That's right, Mr. Li, please correct it quickly."
After Duan Yu finished speaking, he turned to the guys who were working there and clapped his hands to attract their attention.
"Stop for a moment. This is the person in charge of the flower shop. He was secretly... ahem, he is afraid of affecting our condition, not because he doesn't trust us. Don't get the wrong idea."
Duan Yu explained, cleared his throat and continued: "You know what happened yesterday. Listen to Mr. Li's advice."
After saying that, Duan Yu led the applause. Li Tao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was a bit strange that he could enter Luma with his emotional intelligence.
"Then why don't you guys go to the coffee shop across the street and rest for a while? It's too hot right now, and there's no air conditioning in this room."
"I mainly want to talk about the design style. Some parts don't seem to be very satisfying. I can discuss this with the designer in the house. Once we have finished discussing it, there is no rush to start the construction."
As soon as Li Tao said this, he completely established his image as a good guy.
Because of Li Tao's repeated insistence, those people went to the air-conditioned room to rest for a while, leaving only Li Tao and Duan Yu.
"We at Jiasu provide one-stop service, not only undertaking interior design, but also construction."
"Well, I looked at the design drawings, and some parts are not very reasonable..." Li Tao said with some embarrassment.
Duan Yu was stunned for a moment, then blinked and said, "This order was placed by Ms. Qiu. According to her requirements, we provided six different design plans, and she finally chose this one."
After saying that, Duan Yu looked at Li Tao with some curiosity and asked, "By the way, Mr. Li, I heard from our boss that this Ms. Qiu cannot be offended. Does she have a bad temper?"
"Uh, this..." Li Tao tilted his head and thought for a while, then replied after a moment: "This is about people. She may not be very kind to others, but when she is with me, she is like a kitten, very docile."
"Oh~" Duan Yu drew out the tone and revealed a meaningful smile.
Li Tao raised his eyebrows. He didn't have to pay taxes for bragging, so he had to subtly raise his voice.
And it seems that except for the owner of this studio who knows Qiu Lan's identity, these people all think that Ms. Qiu is an ordinary college student who is starting a business.
After all, they couldn't even imagine that the notorious villain Qiu Lan would actually open a flower shop. The contrast was quite huge.
"Look at this design. The style is dull and the overall color scheme is cold, which gives people a distant feeling."
Li Tao took out the photos on his mobile phone and showed them to Duan Yu.
"That's right. At first I thought this style was not suitable for a flower shop, but the client asked for it, so I don't think it's easy to change..."
This time it was Duan Yu's turn to be in trouble. The person who signed the contract and paid the deposit was Qiu Lan, and he still had to be responsible for Qiu Lan.
Duan Yu glanced at Li Tao's expression and whispered, "Maybe Ms. Qiu just likes this kind of lonely style. This is also a characteristic."
"Yeah, she just likes the cool style. I didn't say to make it lively."
Duan Yu was a little confused. He asked in confusion: "What does Mr. Li mean?"
"I mean, not cool enough."
"Not cool enough?"
“Yes, we are a flower shop after all, and we need customers, but we need customers who share the same aesthetic and mentality as us.”
"Let's put it this way. The intuitive impression of a flower shop is a kind of threshold that screens out those who don't like this style, but we also want to attract customers who like a cool style."
Duan Yu nodded, not quite understanding: "So, the current design has neither enough screening nor any special points to attract cold-style customers."
"Yes."
"What should we do?"
This is also what Li Tao wanted to ask. He wanted to make this flower shop his base.
The florist can serve as his hidden identity, covering up his investigation into the Reef Organization.
What's more, a flower shop is such a cozy place. When you don't have classes, it's better to stay here than to go home so far.
With a general direction, Duan Yu was actually very professional. During the conversation, Li Tao discovered that he was a junior at the Academy of Art, and his interior design skills must be good.
Duan Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I have an idea. I can seize a point and talk about it."
"You see, opposite the flower shop is a cafe. Cafes are for thinking and daydreaming, so there is no need to conflict with it in terms of function. These small tables and chairs can be removed to leave enough space between each type of flower and plant to create a sense of privacy."
