The principal looked at her in shock. "Aren't you an English major? How come you can design things?"

He had only heard of things that could send text messages over long distances in foreign countries; they were also the latest developments.

The technology was kept tightly under wraps by the other side; I never expected that China would have it so quickly.

At this moment, he looked at Lin Chuchu with affection, as if she were a precious treasure.

This student is from Qingdao University. His translation skills are top-notch, and his spoken English is excellent, even surpassing those of the older professors. I've heard he's helped many factories solve technical problems.

Now that she has designed a pager, it can be said that her future is limitless.

Lin Chuchu smiled and said, "I usually like to draw design sketches. The clothes my mother makes are all designed by myself."

"It's a pity that we can't get a business license now, otherwise my mother would definitely open a shop so that when those foreign friends come, they will like our clothes."

After hearing Lin Chuchu's words, the principal's eyes lit up. Being able to receive foreign guests and increase China's revenue was a good thing.

The principal hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "The higher-ups have given us a few spots, and our school can put in a good word for us, but whether it will work out is up to fate."

Lin Chuchu's eyes lit up, and she quickly thanked the principal.

The two chatted happily, and the principal was very satisfied with Lin Chuchu's attitude towards him. He even gave him the pager for 1,000 yuan each without making any profit.

There were five in total. He planned to give one to his superiors, keep one for himself, and secretly resell the remaining three.

Lin Chuchu left the principal's office with a box of tea. She felt she had hit the jackpot; with the principal's help, she might be able to secure the sole proprietorship rights for the clothing business.

The package arrived quickly, delivered to Great Wall Freight. The deliveryman deliberately called home to let Lin Chuchu know that the package had arrived.

Lin Chuchu asked him to open the package.

"This thing is called a pager. It can send text messages over long distances. In the future, you should equip every car with one."

“These things belong to the company. Drivers can rent them for a fee, or of course, anyone who wants to buy them can do so.”

"You can pay in installments, or have it deducted from your salary, but the monthly payment will definitely be much more expensive than rent. Brother, you should decide for yourself."

"The market price for this item is 1,500; we can't sell it to them for less than that price."

Lin Chuchu kept nagging, worried that her older brother might suffer because he was too honest.

"Don't worry, Chuchu, I understand all of this. I'll wire you the money later. But what about the remaining six?"

Six? Not five?

Lin Chuchu blinked; it seemed the electronics factory manager had given it to her.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Chuchu decided to accept the offer. Since they had already given them the technology, she figured that if she took a pager, they wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

"Brother, could you have someone help me send them home? Five of them were ordered by our school principal."

"Okay, perfect timing. I'll have someone withdraw the money for you and send it over together."

"OK."

An hour later, Lin Chuchu received 11,000 yuan, which was her reward for her hard work.

She didn't want it, but her grandparents scolded her, saying that she had helped them so much during the New Year, how could she not want anything?

Well, she had no choice but to accept it obediently.

The next day when she went to school, Lin Chuchu specially found a box, put several pagers inside, put it in her space, and delivered it directly to the principal's office before anyone arrived.

It's best to be careful, lest someone accuse her of giving gifts.

They waited until the principal arrived, who was playing with a pager in his hand, his face full of excitement.

"Good, good, good indeed. I'll pay you later."

After saying that, he took out five thousand yuan from the locked cabinet.

"Take this money. If it's really not working out, take the afternoon off."

He was worried that Lin Chuchu might encounter thieves when she went out, so he decided to return the money as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, Principal, I'll go back at noon."

She needs to find a bank to transfer the money to them.

"Give me your pager number, and I'll let you know when I hear anything about that."

Lin Chuchu immediately nodded in agreement.

While the drivers were all there, the older brother showed them the pager and explained that they could be rented or bought.

"I want to buy it, I'll buy it even if I have to borrow money."

"Yes, yes, I want to buy one too."

When the final tally was done, as many as 20 people had purchased the product.

The eldest brother didn't expect this group to be so generous. "We must make sure that each car has one. The pager will be on the market in half a month. If you want to buy one, you can buy it yourselves."

Some opted for installment payments, while others chose to borrow money to buy them. Those who missed out could only watch enviously as others played with their pagers.

This thing is truly irresistible.

They happened to be going to an electronics factory to pick up goods, so they wondered if they could ask the factory manager if they could buy one in advance.

After chatting for a while, the group began to report on the expenses incurred during the trip.

They're pretty much the same. They don't spend money extravagantly; at most, they eat, drink, and smoke, plus they consume a lot of gasoline.

The mileage is roughly the same, so on average, you can keep track of the distance.

The older brother gathered the pile of receipts together.

"I asked you to ask where there are retired senior accountants and young junior accountants. Have you asked them?"

Lin Chuchu cannot hold a part-time job.

Therefore, we must find an accountant as soon as possible.

One of them said, "I do have someone in mind. He used to be the accountant in our village, but he offended someone and was reported and demoted. After he came back, he refused to do accounting work again and is now living a retirement life in the village."

The older brother rolled his eyes at her. "Why didn't you say so earlier? Give me the address. This time, you're not driving. Come back with me."
