Chapter 454 Meeting an acquaintance
He found the things piled up high and low outside interesting to him. He jumped over and over on them, just like he was on an adventure. It was so much fun!
When they saw those things in the afternoon, they had already developed various ways to play with them, such as "mountain climbing" and "hide and seek".
Lele wanted her mother to clean up the mess two days later.
"Is it fun?" Lin Xia took one look at the brat and knew what he was thinking.
Lele chuckled and came over to the side to make a request in detail.
Lin Xia glanced at a few children and saw that they all had fun. She thought that she had no time to clean up recently, "Go ahead and play, but be careful of the danger and don't get hurt."
"Oh yeah!" The children were so happy.
"But you have to finish your homework before you can play, okay?" Lin Xia didn't wait for them to finish their joy, and continued, "We will be back home for the New Year in half a month, so make sure you don't leave your homework unfinished."
"Got it!" Several people answered in unison, completely immersed in developing a new game.
The next morning, Lin Xia stood in the yard and looked at the cabinets and furniture covered with footprints. She knew that these people must have had a great time.
Lin Xia checked it carefully and saw that there were no nails or anything like that on it, so she followed the others. She didn't have time to take care of these things now, so she could only leave it for a few more days.
After packing up her things, Lin Xia went straight to the Urban Management Bureau. She wanted to ask what documents and procedures were needed to place an advertisement on the advertising wall.
Arriving at the Urban Management Bureau, Lin Xia asked the staff to find the Propaganda Department. There was only one staff member inside, who looked up and spoke to him when he saw Lin Xia knocking on the door.
"Who are you looking for?" Noticing someone was there, the staff member turned around and asked.
"You...Boss Lin from your clothing store?" the woman said in surprise.
Lin Xia looked over when she heard the voice and felt vaguely that the woman in front of her looked familiar. Based on what she had just said, she was most likely a customer of their store.
"So, Sister Zhang, you work here. No wonder I thought your temperament was different from others." Lin Xia greeted with a smile. She noticed that the file on the woman's desk was named Zhang Xiuzhen.
Zhang Xiuzhen was a little happy to be praised, and couldn't help asking: "How is it different from others?"
Lin Xia smiled and said, "You have the temperament of a woman in the new society. You look cultured and confident. You are an independent woman in the new era!"
Lin Xia was not saying this nonsense. The woman in front of her looked neat and sharp with her short hair. With the various documents on the table, it was not difficult to tell that she was a professional woman who always insisted on being on the job.
Lin Xia has seen many women, all kinds of them. In the past, there were career women like Director Pei in the family quarters, housewives like Yang Hongmei, and later on, the female students in the school.
Everyone looks very different. Apart from other things, the woman in front of Lin Xia feels very much like the former Director Pei, the kind of woman who spends most of her time on work apart from her family.
Zhang Xiuzhen felt even happier when she saw that Lin Xia was not praising her good looks. After all, it was too unconvincing to compare her beauty with that of a great beauty.
But when people praise her as an independent woman of the new era, Zhang Xiuzhen believes that she lives up to the title.
"Are you here to do business or to look for someone?" Zhang Xiuzhen asked with a smile.
"Sister Zhang, are those big billboards on the street under your jurisdiction?"
Zhang Xiuzhen was stunned. "Yeah! Do you want to advertise?"
But those who advertise on it are generally large state-owned companies. Not only do they have abundant financial resources, but the problem is that they have a good reputation and are known to everyone.
Although the economy has been reformed and open, and there are small shops and factories run by self-employed individuals everywhere, no self-employed individual has thought of advertising yet.
Seeing that she knew, Lin Xia stated her purpose: "Yes, Sister Zhang, I want to advertise there, but I don't know what information I need to apply."
Zhang Xiuzhen was a little hesitant. "It's not cheap to advertise on it. Usually only state-owned factories will advertise on it."
Lin Xia doesn't care about the money from advertising. The return from an advertisement is dozens of times.
"Sister Zhang, I want to ask if there are any restrictions on self-employed individuals?"
Seeing that Lin Xia was determined to apply, Zhang Xiuzhen stopped trying to persuade her. "We need your store's ID and product information. You need to submit information for whatever you want to register."
Lin Xia listened one by one. Knowing yesterday that she would have to go to the Urban Management Bureau today, she had already brought all the necessary documents. There were still some information that needed to be filled out. Zhang Xiuzhen provided her with paper and pen, and Lin Xia supplemented it on the spot.
Zhang Xiuzhen checked Lin Xia's information and said, "That's about it. But I can't guarantee that you can apply right away. There may be people waiting in line ahead of you."
"It's okay. I've already troubled Sister Zhang. As long as I can get a spot, it's fine." Lin Xia said with a smile. She was already satisfied to meet an acquaintance to help her with things. She couldn't participate in anything else.
After all, at this moment, the state-owned factories still look more powerful, so it is normal for the higher-ups to have bias.
Before leaving, Lin Xia took out the sample from her bag, handed it to Zhang Xiuzhen and said, "Sister Zhang, this is for you."
"No, no, I can't accept things." Zhang Xiuzhen looked at the things in her hand and wanted to refuse in panic.
"Sister Zhang, this is the product we want to advertise. I'll give it to you to try. If you have any comments, please let us know and we will make changes immediately." Lin Xia said with a smile, and immediately slipped away without giving Zhang Xiuzhen a chance to refuse.
Zhang Xiuzhen looked at the lipstick in her hand. It was small but in complete packaging, except that the brand name on it was not the Anmei lipstick she had bought.
Hearing footsteps coming from the door, Zhang Xiuzhen put the things in her hand into her pocket and continued to organize the documents.
I didn't take it out until I got home from get off work at noon. Thinking that Lin Xia's lips looked beautiful red today, I opened the lipstick to try it.
Just as she applied the makeup, she heard a loud shout. Zhang Xiuzhen was so frightened that her hands trembled and the makeup went outside her mouth. "What are you shouting about?"
When Zhang Xiuzhen's daughter Meixiang heard her mother's angry roar, her voice suddenly became quieter and she said aggrievedly, "I'm starving!"
"Mom, what's that on your mouth?" Meixiang asked in surprise when she saw her mother's red lips.
Zhang Xiuzhen looked in the mirror and wiped off the crooked lipstick with her hand, "It was you who scared me by yelling!"
Seeing her mother getting dirtier and dirtier, Meixiang couldn't stand it anymore, "Mom, stop wiping, let me do it for you!"
After a lot of trouble, Meixiang looked at her work with satisfaction, and then came to her senses: "Mom, you look so good like this! Let me try it!"
There is no girl who doesn't love beauty. Meixiang had secretly used her mother's lipstick before, but after being discovered, she couldn't find it anymore.
"Go away! Why is a kid wearing lipstick?" Zhang Xiuzhen looked at herself in the mirror happily.
Meixiang cleverly took the lipstick from her mother's hand, and when she saw the lipstick, she shouted in surprise: "Mom, you actually bought such an expensive lipstick!"
This lipstick costs five dollars! Her simple mother actually bought it!
Zhang Xiuzhen was also shocked when she heard the price! Five dollars for such a small thing is enough for an average family to live for half a month!
But she has already used it and can't return it to Lin Xia. Otherwise, she can help out in the afternoon and put her application at the front of the queue.
This way it doesn't count as her taking things for free.
