Chapter 107 Chapter 107 Pick up Xiao Fangfang from school. ...
Liu Suqin was busy for more than three months.
She originally quit her job to start her own business because she was too busy at work and had no personal space. She wanted to find an easier way to make money. As a result, after starting her own business, she realized what it meant to be really busy.
Words like "leaving home early and returning late", "hitting the back of her head with her feet", and "feet never touching the ground" are not enough to describe her condition in the past few months.
Liu Suqin was in great pain.
But the business has already been set up, and she can't just give up on it.
Not to mention that she herself was reluctant to give up.
The more she invested, the more determined Liu Suqin became to succeed in this business. She couldn't give up halfway, so she had to comfort herself that doing business is always hard at the beginning, but once it gets on the right track and she can assign work to employees, she can sit comfortably in the store and count money.
Temporary hardship and fatigue are nothing, the future is bright!
Relying on this method of spiritual victory, Liu Suqin persevered through the painful yet joyful preparation period for starting a business. After a few months, she not only opened a beautiful store, but also achieved a record low weight.
After giving birth, Liu Suqin has always paid attention to her body management, and her daily weight is maintained at just over 100 pounds. Because she is tall, her figure can be described as slender and well-proportioned. Many people who just met her said that they couldn't tell that she was a mother, referring to her slender and thin figure, which did not look like she had given birth.
During the more than three-month preparation period for starting a business, Liu Suqin focused on her work. Instead, her weight, which she had not paid attention to for a long time, gave her a surprise. She lost nearly ten kilograms in three months, and her weight was just over ninety kilograms, which was her peak number.
Although her husband and parents complained that she was becoming as thin as a stick that could be blown away by the wind, and they were determined to make more soups and water in the next few months to make up for her lost flesh, Liu Suqin looked at herself in the dressing mirror. She saw the one-shoulder dress, the small waist and the vest line. The most important thing was that the fleshy parts were not shrunk, and she looked more curvaceous and well-proportioned. The more she looked at herself, the more she liked it, and she sighed that she had accidentally planted willows but it brought her a good harvest.
She finally got the body she had always dreamed of, so of course she had to maintain it.
During the few months when Liu Suqin was busy with her career, many things happened around her. The biggest one was that Li Xiaoqing went into labor prematurely at just nine months of pregnancy and gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Lin Nanjiang accompanied the couple in the hospital for the birth, and together with his mother-in-law, he prepared gifts for the newborn, including a longevity lock, milk powder, diapers, and other gifts.
Li Xiaoqing's delivery went relatively smoothly, but since it was her first child, the mother and child stayed in the hospital for three days. During this time, Qian Juxiang and Aunt Zhang took turns bringing her various homemade chicken soups, fish soups, and bone soups, which made the new mother look radiant.
Because other people in the family had done enough favors, Liu Suqin felt much more relaxed. She only went to visit the mother and child with Lin Nanjiang, carrying things on the two days of delivery and discharge from the hospital.
Lin Quansheng's family also understands her hard work. They know that she has not been able to take care of many things recently. She didn't even participate in such a big event as Xiao Fangfang going to kindergarten. From registration to daily pick-up and drop-off at school, it was all handled by other people in the family. As a mother, she only went to pick up and drop off the child in person on the first day of school because she was worried that the child would not be able to adapt.
The teachers in Xiao Fangfang's class probably have forgotten about her as a parent.
As for her brother finding a job and her cousin Liu Xiangxiang attending a training class, she only expressed a few concerns at the dinner table, and when she knew that the results were going well, she completely gave up on them.
In contrast, Liu Suqin, despite being so busy, still helped them decorate their new house, and the result was just as good, bright, comfortable and livable in every way. When Lin Quansheng went to inspect the house, he was so moved that he almost cried.
Liu Suqin threw the subsequent tasks of purchasing furniture and appliances back to him, and told him that if he couldn't handle it, he could go to Lin Nanjiang. Lin Quansheng could only nod and agree. He also knew that his family had caused a lot of trouble to his younger brother and sister-in-law recently, but he didn't dare to make things worse.
Later, when Lin Quansheng saw Liu Suqin taking time out to bring some things to visit his wife and child, and happily congratulating them on taking the mother and baby home from the hospital, he was flattered. After settling his wife and child at home, he took Liu Suqin aside and talked her into it, promising that he and Aunt Zhang would take good care of the mother and child, and raise both the adults and children to be healthy and plump. He told her not to worry about such a small matter and just focus on her work.
Liu Suqin accepted his kindness because he was sincere in his words.
At present, the shop decoration is complete, and the tables, chairs, studio equipment, lighting and other equipment are basically in place. There may still be some shortcomings, which need to be checked and filled in during the preparation for opening. In short, everything is ready, except...
Oh, no, she still has to recruit employees first and conduct one to two weeks of training. She can then decide the opening time based on the employees’ training progress.
The process is a bit complicated, but Liu Suqin believes that sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Even if it is just a small store, professional service must be provided.
How can you make money without putting in some effort?
As for employee recruitment, Liu Suqin currently has no plans to go to the job market. She is thinking of posting a recruitment notice at the door of the store to see how things go.
Because the more important photographer has been decided, he was introduced by a photographer friend of Lin Nanjiang. His name is Zhang Mingliang. He is 25 years old this year, but he has five years of experience in the industry. He knows a little about taking pictures, developing pictures, and lighting. Liu Suqin took the time to talk to him and also looked at Zhang Mingliang's previous works. She felt that he was okay, at least more reliable than her going to the talent market to sift through the sand.
It's really hard to find a photographer with work experience these days, so she immediately hired this first employee and asked him to go back to work. Once she had prepared well, it wouldn't be too late for him to resign and come to help her.
It's all about making money. Liu Suqin doesn't mind the seamless transition of employees as long as it doesn't affect her arrangements.
Zhang Mingliang was also very satisfied with her as a tolerant boss. The most important thing was that the treatment was better than his current one. The commission and basic salary had increased a lot. He was looking forward to Boss Liu opening the store as soon as possible. He came to the store to help during the renovation period. When he heard that Liu Suqin was preparing to recruit people, he immediately expressed his intention to go back and resign, and strive to participate in training with his new colleagues.
Liu Suqin was very happy that the new employee was so enthusiastic. The key was that the recruitment pressure was reduced by half. With an experienced photographer, she was also an experienced makeup artist. In the next recruitment notice, she would also write down the job requirements such as photographer and makeup artist, but whether she could recruit reliable ones was up to fate. With the two of them, she could ensure a smooth opening, and at most it would be a little hard work.
In other words, the targets of this recruitment are mainly photography assistants, makeup assistants, front desk staff and other service personnel. They do not require much technical skills, as long as they are young and willing to endure hardships.
It just so happens that Shenzhen has no shortage of young people who are brave and daring, which is why Liu Suqin thinks it is enough to just post a notice at the door of the store.
She didn't plan to post the notice outside the door immediately. She planned to take two days off first to recuperate and prepare for the opening of the business.
Liu Suqin was supervising the work of the cleaning ladies at this moment. Initial cleaning was a big project, so she found a few part-time workers to work together. She watched the aunts working hard and cleaning the house inside and out.
The interior of the store is mainly decorated with lights and large glass. When the various lights of different sizes are turned on, the clean and transparent store is decorated with dreamy colors.
All the lights came on, and the aunties who had just finished work and were drinking water and wiping their sweat exclaimed in surprise, speechless at the beauty before them. Liu Suqin was almost lost in their stunning sight, and was indescribably satisfied with the effect.
Satisfied with paying the fees to the aunties who had worked hard to clean, Liu Suqin turned around, turned off the power, locked the doors and windows, and drove to the kindergarten where her daughter was.
Pick up Xiao Fangfang from school.
However, there was still more than an hour before school was over, and she originally wanted to wait in the car and take a break to relax. However, she had waited for less than half an hour when a familiar figure appeared in her sight. Comrade Qian Juxiang was walking towards the kindergarten with a thermos cup in her left hand and a bag of snacks in her right hand.
Liu Suqin couldn't help but widen her eyes.
She knew about the water cup snack thing. It seemed like a kindergarten teacher reminded parents that many children don't like to drink water, so parents should remember to give them more boiled water and less soft drinks at home. Qian Juxiang took this advice to heart and took it as her motto. She even brought a water cup with her every day when she picked up her granddaughter, ensuring she was always drinking.
As for snacks, there are more and more snack vendors outside the kindergarten. Qian Juxiang thinks it is unhygienic, but some children have plenty of pocket money and often buy these snacks and bring them secretly into the kindergarten to eat. They can't let Xiao Fangfang watch others eat snacks. And even if they are cruel enough, Xiao Fangfang is as popular as the king in the kindergarten class, and there are always children who take the initiative to ask her to eat.
Qian Juxiang noticed this problem and couldn't think of a solution, so she went home to ask Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang what to do.
Lin Nanjiang said that this was inevitable. Since other children were fine after eating it, it should be okay for Xiao Fangfang to eat it occasionally.
Liu Suqin also felt that what he said made sense. There was no need to be too strict, as it would be easy to go to extremes. However, her mother insisted that they come up with a solution. If they didn't come up with a solution, it would mean they didn't care about their child and were irresponsible parents. Liu Suqin could only suggest that they buy some snacks from the supermarket and let their daughter take them to the kindergarten occasionally to share. The things in the supermarket are relatively regular and safe, and are always more reassuring than the three-no products sold at the school gate.
Xiao Fangfang has already tasted the joy of junk food. Children have no self-control. If she is told not to touch it in the future, Qian Juxiang herself will not be able to bear the little one's tears and can only adopt Liu Suqin's method, which is not a solution.
Liu Suqin wasn't surprised her mother came to pick her up from school, fully equipped. But wasn't she a little too early? There were still forty minutes until the end of school, which meant she still had to take another class.
