C20 Little Lover
I smiled. "I was just watching Sister Li. It's your fault for being so good-looking."
Sister Li stared at me and said, "No, I'm sure you're wondering why such an old woman is with a young man."
I said, "How is that possible? Sister Li and I look about the same age."
Sister Li curled her lips. "How can that be? I look a lot older than you. I'm still ten years away from you. How can I look the same? I can tell that something's different from the look in my eyes." Besides, you look to be in your twenties. It's obvious that you're much younger. "
I said, "Anyway, I think it's about the same. You don't look old at all. You're not even in your thirties."
Sister Li smiled sweetly at me and said, "You, pigs are so stupid, but you aren't stupid at all. You always say those words that make people happy."
I chuckled and asked Sister Li if the creation of Gelya cosmetics mentioned on Baidu Encyclopedia was true. Sister Li said that she had never seen it before, so I told her so.
I was thinking of opening up a company in that area, mainly my parents, who supported my idea. They were all university teachers with relatively open minds, so I didn't have much resistance when I thought of starting a company, and the future development all depended on luck, because in Zhejiang, the business atmosphere was much thicker, looking for an agent, opening a production line, everything went smoothly. "
After I heard this, I used an exaggerated expression and said, "Sister Li, you really are amazing. I never thought that I would be able to get to know such a big shot in my entire life."
Sister Li rolled her eyes at me. "What big shot, just like everyone else, just having different thoughts …." Little Sun, what about you? Do you have any plans for the future? "
I drank some water and said, "I'll temporarily work at the company."
Sister Li said, "Don't you have plans for life?"
I said, "I do, but it doesn't have to be as planned. I've also thought about starting a business, but I'm confused and don't know what to do. Besides, I don't have the capital."
Sister Li said, "If you want to be safe, you'd better be honest and go to work. If you want to be able to control your own life freely, then find something to do. But the key is to know what you can do.
I said, "I just don't know what I want to do. Sometimes I feel confused."
Sister Li dragged her chin and said, "Actually, I feel that you're very talented in design. You can clearly understand the customer's thoughts and ideas, and also integrate them into your own ideas and ideas. You can work in the company for a few years, and when you have the connections and resources, you can start your own company. I think it's quite suitable for you."
I sighed. "We'll see."
That day, he sat in the teahouse with Li-jie for a long time and ate some light meals at noon.
After knowing her for over a month, she had always given people the impression of being approachable, not like the boss of a big company at all. Sitting together and chatting with her was like two old friends who had known each other for many years, pulling on each other's hair.
Almost a month and a half later, at the end of November, when Sister Li's company was ready to be renovated, she called me to check it out. The Director told her that if there was anything she was dissatisfied with, she would immediately ask the engineering department to fix it.
I hadn't been to her office in a while, and this time it was completely different. The company was completely new, and the hall was filled with furniture and office supplies.
I was wandering around, looking at some details, when Kelly came by and said, "You're here. Li-jie wants you to go to the office."
Maybe she saw me coming over. I smiled, looked around, and went to Li-jie's office. She was at her desk, gathering information.
When I sat down, she asked me, "How did it work?"
I was afraid that she wouldn't be satisfied, so I tried asking, "Sister Li, what do you think?"
She smiled and said, "Very good. I'm very satisfied."
I heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Then I am relieved."
She said, "I'm going to open for business next Monday."
I said, "There are only four days left. Can we make it in time?"
Sister Li said, "I've already packed them. I'll be able to handle the fire control and hygiene products in two days. There shouldn't be any problems."
I said, "That's good."
Sister Li said, "When the time comes, I'll be preparing for a party. You should come to attend as well."
I said that casually.
On Monday afternoon, Li-jie actually called me and asked if I had any plans for the evening. I said I didn't think so.
She finally said, "Then come to Sunshine Congress before eight o'clock tonight. I have a party. I must come."
Since I've agreed to it, it wouldn't be good for me to decline.
Sunshine Congress is Xi'an's most famous private clubhouse. It's not always open to the public, and Li-jie can put parties there. I know there will be a lot of people going to parties like that, including a lot of rich people. I felt a little nervous when I went alone, so I sent a message to Li-jie saying that I wanted to come with Bighead. Li-jie said it was okay.
Before leaving work, I told Bighead to come with me to the party with Li-jie tonight. He said expectantly, "Sure. When the time comes, there will be many beauties."
I said, "How do you know?"
He said, "Think about it, Li-jie runs a cosmetics company. Isn't it women who deal with cosmetics? I might even be able to get to know a few female bosses.
Big Head and I went back to our apartment to change into our most decent clothes. When we went to the barber's shop, we even specially cleaned up our hair and dressed up like dogs. In order not to lose face, Bighead even went to borrow an Audi A4 to drive with me to Sunshine Congress.
When we got out of the car in front of the Sunshine Congress, we realized that it was definitely a gathering place for Fujia tonight. Just looking at the cars parked outside the door, the BMW's fancy cars, Lexus, Jaguar, even an orange Lamborghini and a black Bentley, our Audi A4 couldn't even fit in here. I looked at Big Al and took a deep breath.
The greeter at the door stepped forward and politely asked if we were going to Ms. Zhou's opening party, and we said yes. She led me and Bighead into the hall, which was already crowded with people, many of whom were conversing in Zhejiang language.
Bighead whispered, "These people are all rich people."
I nodded. "Yes."
The people around him all seemed to have a strong sense of business. They were the upper class in this society, and even though their clothes were ordinary, they exuded an extraordinary aura. Bighead and I, dressed meticulously in the midst of this colorful crowd, suddenly felt dull and gloomy. A sense of inferiority welled up in our hearts.
I looked around the crowd and saw Li-jie not far away. She was wearing a white evening dress and a light makeup that night. She looked so noble that I almost didn't recognize her.
She was carrying a glass of red wine when we entered. When she turned around, she saw us and smiled sweetly. She put down her glass and walked over. I tugged on Bighead's clothes and walked up with him, calling Li-jie.
She smiled and said, "Come here, I've been watching for a long time. I'm afraid you won't come."
I felt a little inferior in front of Sister Li. I awkwardly smiled and said, "Sister Li, there are a lot of people here tonight."
Li-jie smiled sweetly and looked around, saying, "Yes, they are all from the same village in Shaanxi province. We came here tonight to show our appreciation."
Bighead joked, "Sister Li, your party is really too grand. I feel a little inferior to so many rich people."
Sister Li said, "What? My company is opening today, so everyone is willing to come over. I'm also very happy that you and little Sun can come over. Relax, it's nothing."
Although Bighead was nervous, he took a glass of wine from a waiter beside him and congratulated Sister Li. "Sister Li, since your company has opened today, and you haven't prepared any gifts, you've expressed your feelings on the surface. Wishing your company a prosperous business, growing stronger and stronger."
