The second blind date
At the age of thirty-two, Chen Huaisheng is still a young person - sometimes she thinks she's just over twenty, but more often than not, her attitude towards people of the same age is that of an elder to a younger one.
Okay, now I'm going on a blind date with a 32-year-old brother who sounds like he's from the Handsome Association, and it seems like she doesn't have any clothes to wear besides suits and accessories!
After being indecisive for half a day, I finally settled on a light gray Peter Pan collar linen shirt with a dark khaki cotton linen pants and brown woven loafers, but at least I managed to find a red belt to add some color.
Forget it, I was going to the club this afternoon anyway.
"...you can try it." This came up and picked on her clothes, with only one meaning: girls should dress attractively!
"Have you read Paul Fussell's book on CSS?"
"What?"
"Translated, the name of the book is 'Tone'."
"Oh? What's written?" Eyes shining with praise.
"What you just said is the style of a slum. Of course, the slum here doesn't refer to Brooklyn itself, but rather the taste and mentality that comes from such an environment." Chen Huaisheng slowly pulled at his slightly stiff sleeve cuff.
"Grey and dark blue are the colours of administrative personnel. Purple is a colour that should not be touched —"
“……”
"Moreover, the outer **, mesh, are all low-quality synthetic fibers, the higher the proportion of polyester and nylon, the poorer and more impoverished."
。”
“……”
"High heels paired with Levi's jeans are the favorite of girls from poor neighborhoods, and they're also cheap high heels. I've always suggested not wearing non-branded high heels that cost less than 500 yuan, and especially not those so-called Italian brands that are exported and then sold domestically - they're all low-quality and overpriced... otherwise, getting bunions is still a minor issue, but later on, if your feet become deformed and you need surgery, it'll be too late."
“……”
"Moreover, Prorsum is a sub-brand of Burberry, just like Dior's sub-brand." She pointed to the logo on the shiny thin jacket, "Those several hundred yuan Japanese and Korean products in wholesale markets are all counterfeit. Although the fabric and cutting are not much different, this plaid from Burberry, unless it's a genuine product from a duty-free shop, don't easily buy it - if you wear this clothes abroad, you'll be fined." Most importantly, if you're not a handsome guy with good physique and temperament, don't try to show off in this clothes... Ugh!
“……”
"So it's actually some local original brands with a bit of ethnic style, or discount brands like H&M, that are quite good value for money." Ah, no, is there still H&M now? Or is it G2000? No, my head is getting all mixed up.
“……”
You little brat! You dare to play tricks on me? It's too easy for me to beat you to death!
"Hahahaha——" A thirty-something, normally stern administrative manager destroyed his image by pounding the table and laughing wildly. "Hmph, previously the whole company was listening to him comment on girls, and several single girls in our company were talked about... Now he's finally been picked apart from head to toe!"
"Who made him think I'm old-fashioned and outdated as soon as we met? Wearing fake stuff and thinking he's handsome, what a joke!"
The administrative manager took advantage of the gap in sending new consultant contracts and checks to come and ask for beauty secrets. Chen Hui brought her to the club because she paid a super internal cost price, also worked as a beautician, and gave away many finished products and handmade products.
"These will expire in a year, so use them up quickly. A physical store I know has changed industries and I bought their goods at 30-40% off. However, there's no fresh stock. Hmm, these are for me to bring to Manager Cheng and Manager Jin. Here, this handmade soap and essence milk are made by myself, and you've used the hand cream before."
"I love the hand cream you made! It feels so comfortable to use! Especially that natural floral scent, yes, this bottle, the fragrance is very pleasant and elegant."
“……”
“……”
"Don't forget that translation draft." As expected of a professional, even when being coaxed around in circles, the most important work is not forgotten.
"Got it. I'll send it over to you guys around next Friday for review, and also help me correct some typos, so it can be out by the end of the month."
"Great! Hehe, I knew I could count on you!"
Chen Haotian's smile remained unchanged, but in his heart he was crying bitterly.
I knew I should have stuck with the original contract. Increasing the pay was a bad idea! Just look, for an extra 15,000, they sent over more than 30 pages of dense English text. If I were to send it to a translation agency, it would cost at least 7,000 or 8,000 yuan! With just two jobs like this, the company has already made back its investment... not to mention all the other miscellaneous tasks.
From now on, I have to work until midnight every day, including weekends!
"It's rare that a company would proactively offer to pay the consulting fee." Director Feng Lei Ruo looked at Chen Huaicheng's new contract with interest.
"It's not a legal advisory fee, but an additional charge for translation and administrative assistant fees."
"They made it." Feng Lei concluded.
"We've made a fortune." Chen Huan smiled wryly and weighed the manuscript in his hand.
"It's also a good thing. Take advantage of your youth to do more and accumulate more experience. I think the manager you've worked with, even if they switch jobs, will still recommend you to their new company."
Chen Hua Sheng raised an eyebrow, but didn't continue the topic. Instead, he thought of something else, "Oh, right, Feng Suo, I just made a new hand cream with floral fragrance, let me give it to you."
The new beautiful flower-shaped acrylic jar was customized by her, and there was no room at home, so more than half of it was stuffed into the inner balcony of that one-room household under the name of Pang Hua. This product has a small quantity, moderate price, beautiful appearance, good hand feeling and taste, most importantly, low cost and high profit, and sells well.
Maybe she should consider renting a place... but whenever she thinks about paying a large sum of rent every month, she can't help but give up.
The best news this month is that she has the ability to repay a mortgage in advance and pay off the principal and interest of the loan that needs to be repaid this year.
There are still fifty several months of loan left.
Pang Hua originally wanted to get a free meal, but she didn't expect that in the past week, apart from boiling water, she hadn't even lit the stove.
"Do we have to work overtime on weekends?"
"Right. Did you bring the bottles? Help me make a batch of hand cream with these bottles." Chen Huai Chen flipped out an instruction manual, "Go ahead and do it. I'll just work here... uh," looking at his pitiful expression, automatically added another sentence, "And also cook dinner... I'll go buy groceries - you sterilize the jars first!"
"Oh great! I want to eat beef... chicken is fine too."
Dead child!
Chen Huaizheng grabbed the money and phone, just about to go out, suddenly remembered something, "Hey, there's a spare key here. You take it. But you have to call me and get through before you can enter the door, got it?!"
"Alright! Alright! Got it!"
Looking at his delighted expression, as if he couldn't wait to wag his tail, I shook my head.
How about having some small lobsters then? She touched the cash in her pocket, it was enough.
Alas, since I got a roommate, food expenses have skyrocketed!
