In the blink of an eye, Li Wei has been interning at the TV station for nearly two months. During this time, she has been following Pang Lingyin as her assistant.
Some boring jobs make Li Wei seem to have no end in sight.
One day after the National Day, Li Wei was on vacation, and Qi Jingyi asked her to go shopping. The two hadn't contacted each other for a long time, so Li Wei agreed immediately.
"Sister Qi's career is on the right track, right?"
Qi Jingyi said: "It's just starting out. I hope to get up slowly in two years. Why do you want to help me?"
Li smiled and said, "My abilities are limited."
Qi Jingyi took Li Wei to visit a department store that had just opened. It was worthy of being called a department store. It sold a wide variety of products, including many well-known brands. Qi Jingyi loves fashion and took Li Wei directly to the cosmetics counter. When the salesperson sees a customer coming to the door, he immediately comes to introduce the customer warmly. Qi Jingyi and Li Wei said, "Come here and try this cream. It's very mild and moisturizing."
Li Wei stretched out the back of her hand, and Qi Jingyi gently applied a layer of it on Li Wei. It was absorbed quickly, had a very light smell, and was indeed very moisturizing. It was much easier to use than the low-end skin care products she used.
Qi Jingyi bought a set without asking the price. Qi Jingyi turned to Li Wei and said, "Would you like a set too?"
Li Wei quickly waved her hand and said: "I haven't used up mine yet, so there's no need to replace it with a new one for the time being." She was embarrassed to say that the price of such a set was enough to cover her two months' salary, and she didn't dare to spend money carelessly now.
Qi Jingyi said to Li Wei sincerely: "A woman's flowering period is very short. It only lasts for more than ten years. At my age, you have to take care of your skin desperately. Otherwise, your skin will get worse and your own repair ability will be very weak."
"But Sister Qi still looks young and beautiful. If you don't say anything, everyone will think you are a woman in her twenties." This is not flattery from Li Wei. Qi Jingyi is not married and has children, and her aging rate is indeed much slower than that of her peers. In addition, she has always paid attention to her figure, so she still looks beautiful and slim.
"I love hearing what you say, even if you say it to me a hundred times, I won't get tired of it." Qi Jingyi laughed, and there were no fine lines in the corners of her eyes that should have appeared at this age.
Both of them laughed. Qi Jingyi went to the fashion store with Li Wei again. She took a fancy to the latest windbreaker and bought it because she thought it was good. Li Wei also wanted to buy a windbreaker, but it cost 300 yuan. Come on, she still has to rent a house and pay for water and electricity, all of which cost money.
Li Wei gritted his teeth and gave up.
Li Wei's behavior was noticed by Qi Jingyi, and she thought to herself that this little sister seemed to be having a hard time.
"Wei Wei, it's better not to be too frugal. Women have to be kind to themselves. You said you don't have a family now, so who can you save the money for? At your age, you should eat what you want and wear what you want. Don't hesitate."
Li Wei smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Qi, it's not easy to make money until you really work. How can you be as lavish as before? You have to think about how to spend every dollar."
"It's such an exaggeration. You see, I still owe the bank so much money that I don't even panic. I just use it when I need it. If I don't have it, I'll make more money. Are the wages at your TV station very low?"
"The salary can be low or high, depending on the position and length of service, but I am just an intern, how much can I earn, not to mention that I am still renting a house outside, and the rent is part of the money."
Qi Jingyi said hurriedly: "Rent a house? Why don't you come to me? I'm worried about having no company. Come and stay with me. I won't charge you rent."
"But... Sister Qi's house is not spacious, it's just a one-bedroom and one-living house, right?" If she remembered correctly, it should be like this. Besides, how could she have the nerve to disturb others.
"I've moved to another place, and there are exactly two rooms, which are enough for you. Of course, if you want to bring your boyfriend back to spend the night, it's a different matter."
Li Wei thought about it carefully. She had paid three months' rent and it was not yet due. Liu Yan was usually getting along well with her, but it would be a bit awkward for her boyfriend to come.
"Sister Qi, first of all, thank you for your kindness. The date there has not yet expired. I will move here when the deadline is up. We must also agree in advance that I will pay the rent, otherwise I will not feel at ease. Sister Qi, I’ll just give you a little discount.”
Qi Jingyi smiled and said, "I just like your personality. Okay, I'll charge you 50 yuan in rent every month. You don't have to worry about any other expenses. You just need to live in peace of mind."
The rent of fifty yuan is indeed a friendly price. Li Wei was grateful to Qi Jingyi for her generosity and hoped that she could get through this hurdle.
"How's your work going? When can you appear on the show?"
"I am just an intern doing odd jobs now, and the show is not yet my turn."
Qi Jingyi was quite surprised: "Aren't you the first place in the selection? If you are the first place, the TV station should have a proper arrangement for you. I didn't expect that you would be asked to do odd jobs. It would be too embarrassing. You are still an upright college student. ”
Li Wei said self-deprecatingly: "College students are no longer a rarity. How can I put on airs as a rookie? Naturally, I will do whatever the leader arranges."
Qi Jingyi smiled and said: "You have to learn the tricks in the workplace. The water here is very deep. When you meet someone with low emotional intelligence, you will get a lot of blood when you bump into each other. It doesn't matter if you bump into each other, the important thing is to be able to learn from these Only by summarizing experience and learning lessons from failure can we truly grow.”
Qi Jingyi rarely said these serious words to Li Wei, so Li Wei naturally listened attentively. Qi Jingyi was her senior, so she naturally had a lot to learn.
After a short vacation, I returned to boring work.
Pang Lingyin's clothes were washed again and there was a problem. The cuffs were slippery and looked very unsightly. Li Wei held the clothes and went to the laundry department, but the laundry department did not admit that this was their responsibility.
Li Wei was helpless. This was a silver-blue dress. It was not that easy to find the same thread. After working for a long time, she had to find similar blue threads and use a small brush to gently clean out the tatters. The longitude and latitude were separated in the place, so I sat there and slowly mended it stitch by stitch.
Director Guo came in from outside. Everyone was busy with their own things, except for Li Wei who was sitting in the corner sewing. He frowned and asked Pang Lingyin to take care of this little girl. She had already explained some tasks to others.
Pang Lingyin was anxious to enter the studio, so she hurriedly pulled the clothes on her seat and put them on. He looked down and yelled: "Li Wei, did you get the wrong clothes?"
"No."
Pang Lingyin was a little surprised when she saw the pattern of a blue lotus on her sleeve, but time was running out and she had no time to worry.
"Li Wei, the director asked you to meet him." The secretary next to Director Guo came over and sent a message to Li Wei.
