A small achievement
The whole afternoon was spent like this.
The two of them went their separate ways back home.
Chen Huaixuan declined the dinner invitation, "I still have an online store to run, I need to go back tonight and deal with those orders tomorrow, on average thirty packages per day, most of which are handmade by me. Tomorrow I also need to attend a meeting at my boss's club for three hours, and then make a batch of handmade cold soap... the workload is not small."
"Oh!" Xue Yunhai's eyes widened, "Then, see you next week! Bring one or two more handicrafts next time."
"Of course... goodbye!"
One to the east, one to the west.
Xue Yunhai regretted not seriously inquiring about her work income and housing situation, Chen Huijing regretted not carefully asking about his parents' family circumstances.
……
Back to the workshop, Pang Hua has already neatly packed all the packages from last night to noon today and sent them by express. Now he is independently producing his most skilled products.
"Wow, you look beautiful today." He didn't stop what he was doing with his hands, but his eyes were fixed on her for a moment.
Chen Haotian took a look at himself in the super-large mirror. "Hmm, I completely followed Ah Hua's simplified makeup design from last time, although it took a bit longer, but the effect is great!"
Because she doesn't need to apply foundation on her face and then draw colors, it saves a lot of effort; and for this eye makeup now, she is very satisfied.
"Alas, it's just that the time spent on flowers was a bit longer."
。”
"It's worth it, looks great." Pang Hua nodded desperately, with a well-behaved younger brother-like expression: "It also makes me feel good to look at it! Uh, of course, some things can be simplified to save time... In short, as long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters. It's all good."
Chen Haotian looked at him for a while, turned his head and threw down his bag.
"Hmm, a clever response: seemingly respectful to women, but actually taking advantage of their vanity and love for beauty...this way, one's own mood is also good...forget it! From now on, I can consider spending an extra 10 minutes in the morning on makeup and an extra 2 minutes at night on removing makeup."
Yes, should I make a makeup remover?
After some consideration and checking of materials and notes, Chen Huasheng used moonflower oil, avocado oil, vitamin E oil, Q10 powder, cypress, chamomile and lavender essential oils to create a high-end makeup remover oil. The cost is naturally higher than basic plant oil, but only by about 20%. Adding the cost of the bottle she uses herself, which has been proven to be the best and longest-lasting.
Thus, a high cost-effective makeup remover was made.
Chen Haotian does not mind at all that others learn from his formula, directly announcing the ingredients and promoting them at a terrible, almost dumping price.
"You're pricing it so low?" Pang Hua is now quite familiar with it and feels that the profit is very low with just a rough calculation.
"These oils won't be good for much longer after half a year. The worst part is that the last batch of Q10 was too much, such a big can - might as well get rid of it in the fastest way possible. Hmm, go print some labels. I'm not happy about wasting money on designing, just use the simplest method to get rid of them."
"Alright!"
……
It's strange that a translation agency, with whom I had a pleasant cooperation in the past but hadn't been in touch for some time, suddenly contacted me and introduced a legal negotiation project with moderate pay but considerable difficulty - she was one of the translators for Party A. Party B also had a translator, who was from Japan, but the working language for both text and negotiation was English. I accepted it after only three seconds of consideration. Not only did I clear my schedule for this project, but also I reviewed a large number of professional English-Japanese terms and expressions.
The on-site translation is very challenging. This is also the reason why Chen Huiying took over this unprofitable job, she needs to continuously improve and exercise her various abilities, at least before retirement age, cannot relax.
！
Chen Huaixing now spends an extra 10 minutes every morning to put on a light makeup. Although it's called light makeup, the procedures won't be reduced by much. At most, there will be fewer steps like applying lipstick or blush, and a marble-patterned eyeshadow cream. The eyelashes are not too thick or curled, so at first glance, you might not notice the makeup.
The location is very convenient. One bus ride and it takes over 40 minutes to arrive.
While preparing for work, she unexpectedly saw a familiar face.
Huh? Is she a classmate? But it shouldn't be from the same class, because the name and face don't match.
I dug up some more information and found a familiar name - isn't that Mei Jia Sheng, the one who always got first prize scholarships back in school? Ha! Don't mention it, as long as they're not deformed or crippled, most men look decent when wearing well-fitted, dark-colored suits with dress shirts and ties.
"Chen Hui Sheng?" The other party didn't take much time to recognize him. "Ah, the other legal translator hired by the boss is you! What are you doing now?"
Chen Huaixing was amused by his pretentious demeanor and laughed as he exchanged business cards with him. "I used to intern at that translation agency during my university days, and we cooperated quite well back then. However, I got busy opening an online store later on, and my energy was limited, so I basically stopped taking on translation work. But this time they couldn't find a suitable person, so they contacted me. It's also helping out an old friend, otherwise how could it be - hmm, I'm also here to get a feel for the language, it's been a while since I last spoke a foreign language."
The last sentence she said very lightly, and Mei Jia Sheng burst out laughing. Remembering that in college this talented student was taciturn and rarely spoke, only speaking a lot during debate competitions. But after several years of work and tempering, this person can not only make jokes and play the fool, but also severely scold newcomers with a stern face.
"What kind of store did you open?"
"Handmade beauty care products. Not cosmetics, but basic skincare, moisturizing, treating acne, preventing aging, all done." Chen Huai Cheng handed over the beautiful business card of his online store without any hesitation.
"Three-no-products? Tax evasion? Be careful, I'll report you!"
"Go! I've already obtained the tax return certificate twice. The total annual taxes, including tariffs, value-added tax, income tax, and individual tax, are almost 100,000 yuan. Some of the products we make have intellectual property rights, and one series can obtain a special cosmetics license this year."
。”
"...you studied law too well." Mei Jia Sheng was stunned.
"I think that in a few years, some large online stores may be punished or even sentenced. So I registered the company from the beginning to avoid trouble."
"Right, it's better to earn less now and avoid trouble in the future." Mei Jia Sheng nodded repeatedly. He always says this to his clients, but unfortunately, not many people listen. Of course, if everyone were as honest and law-abiding as Chen Hui Xiang, then lawyers like him would be out of business.
Work begins.
Xue Yunhai is a traditionally cautious person. However, this tradition is not only virtues such as thriftiness and politeness, but also the local "traditional" petty bourgeois mentality and behavior.
Chen Haotian is now accustomed to using a set of psychological counseling methods to listen, analyze and guide.
Pang Hua can no longer afford it, because they are too familiar; in fact, everyone in the firm is not very close and has a bit of apprehension, let alone. Unexpectedly, however, he dug up one side of Xue Yunhai's inner world quite thoroughly.
Petty urbanites and peasants are not Chen Huicheng's type.
"If everyone did business like you, where would the rich come from? Where would the big companies come from?! I'm telling you, big companies do many illegal things to make a lot of money!" He scolded Chen Huasheng's way of running her company and also demanded that she hire one of his distant relatives as an accountant.
Chen Haotian bluntly rejected the accountant, citing that he was too expensive and did a poor job, making it difficult to fire him at will. This reason was extremely sufficient and reasonable, and was immediately accepted.
"I just sent a few online store owners I know a plan for accounting and tax payment, so as to avoid being locked up."
"Has it been paid?" The other party immediately asked in detail.
Chen Haotian couldn't take it anymore, what's wrong with this guy! She stared at him coldly for a while, "Do you usually deal with your neighbors, colleagues and superiors in the same way, always trying to take advantage of others and not willing to suffer any losses?"
“……”
"No wonder you can't get promoted no matter how hard you try to curry favor with your leaders"
！”
“……”
"Your way of doing business is just like those street vendors selling fake and inferior products!"
“……”
She ruthlessly trampled on his sore spot.
"Hmph, with you being such an ignorant woman, what can you possibly achieve? My mom also said that someone like you starting a company will never make any money!……" Xue Yunhai didn't know what was wrong with him, but he couldn't control his mouth and emotions, and he was indeed furious.
"Whether I make money or not has nothing to do with you, your mother, or even half a cent." Chen Huai Sheng beckoned the waiter to come and pay the bill.
……
After meeting four times, this blind date completely failed.
The next day, Chen Huaisheng and the introducer colleague roughly said a few words of reason, and also "by the way" sent up a bottle of floral body lotion "new style".
"I started that company just to avoid trouble, especially since I'm a lawyer. Opening an online store was just a side job, and it was originally just for interest, not to make a lot of money... What's the point of making a lot of money? If I've become old before thirty, then haven't I wasted my efforts for half my life?"
My female colleague was conquered by the extremely beautiful fragrance of flowers from the very beginning. Three kinds of European roses, as well as oriental carnations, peonies, jasmine, orchids, and gardenias, not that kind of pungent smell, but a good smell that makes you want to eat it up.
"Ah...... Xiao Chen, you're still going to enjoy it!"
"Uh, haha, actually my online store doesn't make much money, it's related to me consuming a lot myself. Those finished products I also take to exchange with other stores, and I get essential oils, clothes, accessories, health supplements, and some semi-finished products in return." Chen Huijing gestured to the cloak-style cashmere coat she was wearing. "This coat cost me one bottle of peony essential oil. The marked price in my store is 1,101 yuan, and the wholesale price is over 900 yuan, luckily I can deduct the input tax."
"This is cashmere! Of course it's worth the price."
Two women started discussing eagerly about this year's popular clothing styles.
This blind date has completely passed like this.
