Chapter 91 Chapter 91 You still have to have dreams.
There are some advantages to ordering the car first and picking it up later, which gives them enough time to prepare.
On the day of ordering the car, Liu Suqin and her friends were not too formal. After all, wealth should not be flaunted. With a bank card with more than 200,000 yuan in its pocket, if they were too ostentatious, they might end up in tragedy. In addition, she also considered test driving a few cars to choose the one they were most comfortable driving. She deliberately wore white sneakers for easy movement and matched them with casual clothes.
Lin Nanjiang always looks up to his wife. When his wife dressed casually, he also changed into a leather jacket and jeans. With his still young and handsome face, he was caught off guard by the car salesman as a gigolo who was hanging out with a rich woman.
When she went to pick up the car this time, Liu Suqin had already learned about the performance and operation of the new car. Anyway, it was a hundred times easier to operate than the cars in the driving school, so she didn't need to be as careful as going to the battlefield. She boldly chose a pair of elegant low-heeled lambskin shoes, a skirt, a brand-name bag, and necklace jewelry. She also used the skillful hands she had trained at work to do a complete makeup for herself. Her gentle and charming face instantly became extremely beautiful, which immediately attracted all of Lin Nanjiang's attention.
After realizing what was happening, he immediately threw away the clothes he had picked out before, dived into the closet, pulled out a well-tailored gray suit and put it on, and went to ask his wife for help with a vintage dark green printed tie in his hand.
It must be said that as the spouse of a fashion industry practitioner, Lin Nanjiang has learned some matching techniques from her parents and is quite attentive. The color of this tie is exactly the same as the jade pendant, ring and bracelet that Liu Suqin is wearing today.
The couple were already well-dressed today, one in a suit and tie, calm and solemn, the other exquisite and elegant. With these details, the style was even more unified. When the two of them walked out like this, anyone with eyes on the street would know that they were a couple.
At that time, Liu Suqin was bending over to put makeup on her daughter.
Yes, since they are pursuing perfection, of course the whole family must be together, how can they leave behind their little baby.
Fangfang has also reached the age where she loves to imitate her mother. She is very interested in her mother's jewelry, cosmetics, bags, skirts and high heels. In her eyes, her mother's room is like a huge treasure trove that she can never get enough of. Unfortunately, her grandmother and the others are very strict with her. She often sneaks into her mother's room for only two minutes and before she can do anything bad, she will be caught and taken out by her grandmother or Grandma Zhang.
Liu Suqin occasionally takes a vacation at home. She doesn't mind the children tinkering with her wardrobe and jewelry box, but she doesn't allow them to touch cosmetics. They are too destructive. If the little ones have too much fun, the floor, walls, table and even the bed quilt may be covered with traces of lipstick, eye shadow and blush. She really can't help but beat the children.
For the sake of the relationship between mother and daughter, it is better to let her use less cosmetics. Besides, Liu Suqin is afraid that she will put everything on her face. If it hurts her daughter's little face that looks like a peeled lychee, she will feel bad.
Now her mother is going to put on makeup for her herself. Little Fangfang is looking forward to it. She doesn't even need an adult to hold her. She sits upright in the dressing chair, tilting her chubby little face to let her do the makeup. Her short legs are dangling in the air, and stars seem to be twinkling in her big eyes. Her heart and eyes are full of expectation and yearning to become beautiful.
Liu Suqin did not disappoint her. Monkey-butt blush and red mole between eyebrows were absolutely not allowed to appear on her daughter's face. Since she did it herself, she had to dress her up beautifully. She put on sparkling eye shadow and the most pink blush. Still feeling that it was not enough, Liu Suqin pasted scattered rhinestones under the little girl's eyes, matched with a pink princess-style tulle skirt and a crystal crown. The little girl was so bright that she could dazzle people without any lighting.
When Lin Nanjiang came over, Liu Suqin had almost finished the child's makeup. A layer of sparkling pink lip makeup would complete the job. So she didn't seem unhappy about being interrupted. She just raised her eyebrows and smiled when she took the tie, then stood on tiptoe and skillfully tied it for him.
After that, she carefully adjusted his collar and smoothed out every wrinkle on his shirt.
The entire time, Lin Nanjiang remained motionless, lost in thought as he stared at the beautiful couple in the mirror. It wasn't until the beautiful figure in the mirror bent down that he snapped back to his senses. Then, looking down, he saw his own radiant daughter. He exclaimed enthusiastically, "Wow, where did this little princess come from? She's so beautiful! Daddy must bring his camera today and take lots of pictures of the little princess."
The child was so happy to be praised that he couldn't stop laughing. Liu Suqin also thought this was a good idea and reminded him, "Bring some more film. The car company has a lot of space. We can take more photos next to the new car."
So today's auto trade company has become a large-scale photo-taking scene. Everyone is excited when they see the black sedan that has been checked and cleaned by the staff and has a big red flower tied on it. Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang are posing in various ways in front, and they immediately learn and apply what they learned, following behind to take individual or couple photos or group photos in various poses and angles. Some are standing at various angles near the front and rear doors of the car, and some are sitting in the cab touching the steering wheel.
It doesn’t matter if they don’t look glamorous enough, as long as they stand in front of the car, they are the most handsome guys on the street. They hold their heads high and are full of confidence, and they get more and more excited as they take pictures.
What is stage fright? It doesn't exist.
The car salesman was also very good at handling things. He always accompanied them with a smile during their endless photo taking, helped them think of various poses, and even offered to take a group photo for all of them, trying to make sure the customers had a great time and encourage them to introduce the photos to their wealthy friends in the future.
The car-picking ceremony lasted for most of the morning. Finally, after they had finished shooting all the films, they headed to the next stop with a lingering feeling.
Liu Suqin was driving the car on the road away from the auto trade company. It wasn't that she was domineering or anything. Lin Nanjiang and Lin Quansheng both rode their bikes here. She couldn't just pick up the car and leave their motorcycles and tricycles on the side of the road.
Even if they were willing to leave, the car would not be able to accommodate such a large family, so when leaving, everyone discussed it and Lin Nanjiang and Lin Quansheng each rode a bicycle to take the male compatriots, while the female comrades followed Liu Suqin in the car.
Qian Juxiang, Li Xiaoqing, Aunt Zhang, and she who was driving, plus Xiao Fangfang who didn't take up any space, made the car just full and not overloaded.
Even if it's overloaded it's okay.
Yes, Aunt Zhang was there too. She had returned to work before the Lantern Festival. As usual, Lin Nanjiang drove a tricycle to pick her up and also got in touch with the elderly people in the village. Liu Suqin only needed to go to work, which was very worry-free.
Li Hong actually wanted to join in the fun, but she had just successfully changed jobs, and it was not convenient for her to ask for leave or a rotating day off after only two days of work. She had to reluctantly give up this plan, and then strongly requested that Liu Suqin personally drive to pick her up next time she went shopping on holiday, so that she could enjoy the feeling of being driven by someone.
Ahui and Amin also made the same request.
Liu Suqin couldn't favor one over the other, so she had to agree to all of them.
Originally, before officially picking up the car, Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang had no plans to make a big fuss about it. Lin Nanjiang even called his hometown twice, but he held back the words that were on the tip of his tongue, thinking that he would quietly drive the car home and surprise everyone, just as his wife had said.
However, they wanted to be low-key and calm, but they couldn't stand the enthusiasm of their friends.
After returning to Shenzhen after the Chinese New Year, Li Hong, Ahui and Amin, the couple, all chose to come to their homes to play before their official start of work. In addition to eating and drinking, the only thing left at the gathering of friends was chatting and bragging. As they chatted, everyone knew the good news that they were about to receive their car.
Friends were all shocked, but not to the point of envy or hatred, because their lives were also moving forward.
Needless to say, Li Hong's salary increased significantly after changing jobs. Although it is still not as high as her friend's, it is at least three times higher than her initial salary at the Guanwai Factory, and is almost catching up with the main job income of Ahui, an old senior. In less than two years, the change is so great, and Li Hong is very satisfied with it.
Her family is also very satisfied.
When Li Hong returned home for the Chinese New Year this time, she could no longer hide the fact that she had followed her friends into the interior of China to make a living. Her parents learned from their fellow villagers that she had a very rich sister, and they thought that she must have benefited from her good friend. They kept asking about her real income, and Li Hong could no longer fool people, so she had to increase her salary from 400 to 500 to 700 or 800 yuan.
But the amount she handed over to her family was still an unshakable 2,000 yuan, because when she moved to the city center, her boss didn't provide food and accommodation, so everything had to cost money, which was very expensive. Besides, she was not young anymore, and wanted to save some dowry for herself so that she could find a better partner.
When Li Hong became tough, her parents softened. They were occasionally dissatisfied with her "stinginess", but they didn't say anything. When Li Hong mentioned her age, they took the initiative to cooperate and made arrangements. They spread the word that their eldest daughter wanted to be married, and mentioned her current salary. Suddenly, the threshold of the Li family was almost broken down by people who came to marry.
The most exaggerated day was when Li Hong kept introducing herself to people from the moment she woke up in the morning until dark.
Unfortunately, the quantitative change did not lead to a qualitative change. She met almost all the single young men in the surrounding villages, but none of them caught her eye.
Li Hong actually knew that not all the people introduced to her by the people around her were bad. In the final analysis, it was because she had seen more and her standards had become higher.
Although this experience did not allow her to meet the right person, it successfully cured Li Hong's anxiety. As an "old girl", she never dreamed that among her blind dates there would be a guy who was three or four years younger than her. Isn't this a case of an old cow eating young grass?
Li Hong didn't say it, but she was very happy in her heart. At the same time, she believed more and more in her friend's chicken soup. After all, women still need to pursue a career. As long as she can make money, she won't have to worry about not finding a partner even if she is in her twenties or over thirty.
The prerequisite is that she has to look down on those people.
If there is no one she likes at the moment, then there is no need to rush. Just like her friend said, make more money, accumulate capital, and improve yourself. Then when she meets a truly outstanding man in the future, she will be worthy of him.
So after returning from her hometown, Li Hong suddenly stopped being anxious and confused, and her only focus was on making money.
Their other friend, Ah Hui, obviously understood this principle earlier than Li Hong. In the two years that they had known each other, she had been completely focused on making money. Instead, she had unexpectedly achieved success in both her career and love life. She had already entered the stage of discussing marriage with the person she met last year, and had also consulted Li Liang about the ownership issue of the house they jointly funded.
Li Liang and Amin are also living a prosperous life. Although Li Liang has not saved enough money to buy a new house, he had outstanding performance last year and achieved his small goal of promotion and salary increase before the New Year. He became a small supervisor. It is said that his income will probably double. Moreover, after the promotion, he will have greater authority and more flexible working hours, so he can have time to pick up and drop off his children at nursery.
Their son is two years older than Fangfang and could have gone to nursery a long time ago, but picking him up and dropping him off every day was a hassle. Now that Li Liang can take charge of this task, Amin finally has some free time. This year, she will also join their army of makeup artists.
The friends all have hope for their lives and are not jealous of anything. While they are happy for them, they are more excited and feel that Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang are role models they can learn from. If they keep their feet on the ground and take one step at a time like them, maybe one day they will be able to afford a car themselves.
Well, you still have to have dreams. In five, ten, or twenty years, they will come true one day.
