I have been an intern at Luo's for one month, and I have received my first month's salary. In addition to the money for dinner, I spent another thousand yuan, went shopping with Wang Huining and Dong Jianan, and chose a pair of medium-sized ones for Meng Yuanqing. Well-priced cufflinks.
Meng Yuanqing pays great attention to appearance on weekdays. Whether it is clothes or supplies, they are all exquisite and picky.
I went to the counter and directly picked out a pair of cufflinks. Wang Huining praised this: "I have been here for a few years at Luo's, and I have been racking my brains every year as to what birthday gift to give to the deputy minister. You have chosen such a right way since you arrived. Look. You will be like a fish in water in the translation department."
Hearing this, I replied with a slight smile: "Unlike women, men can only buy so many things, and I can't afford anything too expensive. Anyway, this pair of cufflinks is quite exquisite, and it's a good gift."
After a pause, I added: "But I don't know if the deputy minister likes it or not."
Wang Huining said subconsciously: "Of course he likes the gift given by the beauty."
After she finished speaking, Dong Jianan and I glanced at her instinctively, but we saw her standing in front of the counter of the men's watch store, looking at herself, with no strange expression at all.
Dong Jianan and I looked at each other. When I saw a look of astonishment in her eyes, it proved that I was not the only one who was overthinking.
"Please help me take this piece out and have a look." Wang Huining pointed to a silver mechanical watch on the counter and said to the clerk.
The clerk took out the watch box and handed it to Wang Huining.
Dong Jianan and I both saw the price tag on the watch strap, one, two, three, four zeros! There is another three in front.
Dong Jianan raised his eyebrows subconsciously and said: "More than thirty thousand [Sister Ning, do you want to give such an expensive gift?"
After that, she muttered in a low voice: "Then how can we give away the gift of eighteen hundred yuan?"
I also thought about what Dong Jianan said.
Wang Huining looked indifferent, and suddenly sighed, whether it was teasing or emotion, she replied: "I am an average-looking person, but I don't like the deputy minister, so I can only put more effort into the gifts."
If the previous sentence might have been a joke, then if Wang Huining mentioned it again and again in a short period of time, it might not be as simple as a joke.
The total price of this watch was more than 38,500. Because Wang Huining had a discount card here, it only cost more than 34,000.
However, such a price was enough to shock Dong Jianan and I.
It turns out that when Meng Yuanqing celebrates his birthday, do all the staff in the translation department give such expensive gifts
After Wang Huining also picked out a gift, the three of us came out of the watch shop side by side. Now only Dong Jianan is left who has not picked out a gift.
Wang Huining asked aloud: "Jianan, have you thought about what to give?"
Dong Jianan looked embarrassed and whispered: "After seeing you give such an expensive gift, I really don't know what to buy."
Wang Huining said: "Actually, the deputy minister also has a personal hobby that most people don't know. He likes to collect tableware. How about I accompany you to the specialty store upstairs and buy a set of tableware for him."
Dong Jianan and I were both new to the Luo family and didn't understand anything, so we relied heavily on Wang Huining. Whatever she said was what she said.
Dong Jianan immediately nodded and responded: "Okay."
We took the elevator upstairs and entered a very famous foreign tableware specialty store. The shelves in the store are lined with a variety of dishes and cups that look more like handicrafts than tableware.
Dong Jianan picked up a cup at random. The prices on it were all in three digits, and they all started with seven or eight.
Dong Jianan lowered his voice and said to me: "Why is it so expensive?"
My family is in good condition in Liangcheng, but since I came to Yecheng, I didn't know what it meant for a countryman to come to the city. Compared with those small cities that are more livable, Night City is more like a gorgeous palace wrapped in luxury and materialism. Although everyone lives in the palace, some people are princes and nobles, and some are maids and slaves.
The only criterion for distinguishing identity is money.
I saw the clerk not far away. When I saw Dong Jianan and I looking around, he didn't want to talk to us at all, let alone treat us warmly.
I was angry, but I was helpless because we really couldn’t afford it.
Also unconsciously lowering my voice, I replied: "Why don't you choose a more beautiful cup, with better packaging, it will still be handy."
Dong Jianan said with a downcast face: "You said you gave me a pair of cufflinks, and you can still wear them anyway. I give you a cup for only 1,800 yuan. Isn't it a waste to use it to drink water?"
I replied in a low voice: "Didn't Sister Huining say that the deputy minister likes it? If you like him, you don't care whether he drinks water or something else from this cup."
Encouraged by me, Dong Jianan gritted his teeth and stamped his feet. He spent nearly one thousand sixty-six dollars to buy two glasses that were about the same price as the ones sold outside and gave them to Meng Yuanqing.
I said, "Why buy two? You won't be able to live in the second half of the month?"
Dong Jianan braced himself and replied: "The rules in our hometown are that you don't give orders when giving gifts."
If you ask me, China has a lot of 'rules', which are all nonsense and a waste of money and people.
Dong Jianan also received a gift from the office, and the three of us walked out. During this period, Dong Jianan answered a phone call and said that he had to leave beforehand and asked Wang Huining and I to continue shopping.
I know that in addition to Luo's job, Dong Jianan also works part-time as a tutor on weekends. This is not allowed by Luo, but of course I won't tell others.
After saying hello to me and Wang Huining, Dong Jianan hurriedly ran to the elevator, almost tripping because he was in such a hurry.
Wang Huining looked at Dong Jianan's back, tsked twice in a low voice, and shook her head.
I was about to turn my head and look at Wang Huining, when Dong Jianan had already entered the elevator, smiled and waved to me and Wang Huining.
Wang Huining immediately smiled and waved to Dong Jianan.
The elevator door slowly closed, and I thought everything before was all an illusion.
"Actually, she really shouldn't have bought two cups..."
Wang Huining suddenly sighed and said with emotion.
I also said: "Yes, a cup is so expensive, I also want her to give one as a gift."
Wang Huining took a breath and said meaningfully: "What I mean is that she is different from you. Whether she buys one or two, the effect is the same. The deputy minister may not look twice."
As soon as she said this, my expression finally changed.
Looking sideways at Wang Huining, I smiled slightly awkwardly and said softly: "Sister Huining, what do you mean by this?"
Wang Huining held my hand, and we walked forward like ordinary girls going shopping.
On the way, she said to me: "Actually, I have hinted to her a long time ago that the deputy minister can only tolerate good-looking people, such as you, so whether you give a gift of one thousand yuan or a A gift of 10,000 yuan, the deputy minister likes you just as much; but Dong Jianan is different, she looks mediocre, and her work ability is not that high. If she is placed in a crowd, I will not look at her a second time. So I said it was just a formality for her to buy several cups.”
Hearing this, I felt even more strange. I couldn't help but look embarrassed and said, "Sister Huining, you are exaggerating..."
Wang Huining glanced at me sideways and said with a serious expression: "Do you think I'm joking?"
After that, she added: "Zijin, I don't know why, but you and I get along very well, so I am willing to tell you anything. When Dong Jianan was here before, I was too embarrassed to mention it. In fact, beauties are popular everywhere, and now she is In a society that values appearance, being good-looking means being liked by others.”
To be honest, in my eyes, Wang Huining is also an average-looking person. He has worked for several years and has some experience, so he is better at dressing and concealing than someone like Dong Jianan who doesn't know how to dress up. Moreover, she just bought a watch worth more than 30,000 yuan.
Now that she turned to me and said this, I couldn't help but weigh it in my mind. Did she say this to me on purpose, or...
Seeing that I didn't answer immediately, Wang Huining quickly glanced at me sideways, raised her eyebrows and said, "Zijin, don't think too much. I talk quickly. I won't say what I think." You are an outsider, so I even told you frankly that the deputy minister likes beautiful women. "
Since I called Luo, I have always been taken care of by Wang Huining, and I am grateful in my heart, so when I heard this, I immediately replied: "I know, Sister Huining, I didn't think much about it, just..."
I hesitated for a moment and then said, "I just didn't expect that the deputy minister, who is usually such a kind person, would be the kind of person you say is 'looking at others' choices.'"
Wang Huining smiled, and her smile was meaningful. She said aloud: "Zijin, you are still young. I thought the same way when I first entered the society. I even naively thought that as long as I worked hard enough, My boss will promote me sooner or later, but what about the reality?”
The corners of her lips curled up in a mocking arc, and she said after a while: "Forget it, you just came to Luo's, I don't want to scare you away all at once. From now on, you can cross the river by feeling the stones and figure it out slowly."
Wang Huining's words inexplicably reminded me of those five Japanese customers.
My first job when I first joined the Luo family was to deal with these five horses. In fact, I don’t need to be told anything. Life will teach me the most real lesson.
Suddenly a chill ran down my spine, my body shivered, and I was covered in goosebumps.
Holding Wang Huining's hand, I quickly said sweetly: "Sister Huining, don't let me cross the river by feeling the stones. You are now my crutch and my guiding light when I cross the river. In the future, I will be in Luo's, but It’s all up to you.”
Wang Huining raised the corners of her lips at what I said, and replied with a smile: "Okay, it's rare to meet a good-looking person who is not a scheming bitch. You can see that everything is calm in the Luo's Translation Department, but in fact there are turbulent things happening behind the scenes. From now on, you will Fuck with me, and I promise I won’t let you capsize in the gutter.”
I nodded and replied, "The two of us take care of each other. If anything happens to Sister Huining, I will definitely help."
The two of us were walking forward while talking, and suddenly Wang Huining stopped. She paused, looked straight ahead at something, and said, "Hey, look, is that Li Yanshu?"
