Chapter 90 Busy Life
Lu Jianchuan left the next day. It is very convenient to go to Beijing now. He can leave before 11 o'clock in the morning and arrive around 9 o'clock the next day.
Lin Siqiao did not go to see him off. Firstly, she did not like seeing people off. Secondly, the Treasure House had just opened, and the workload in the clothing customization area was increasing day by day. It was not a good idea for her to always take leave.
It would be a lie for Lin Siqiao to say that she was not moved by what Lu Jianchuan said yesterday, including his arrangements. She just had her own considerations.
Dating in this era may sound no different from dating in later generations, but in fact, there is a huge difference.
In later generations, it is normal to be in a relationship for three to five years, and breaking up is even more normal.
But this won’t work, as even the boss has said that dating without the intention of marriage is hooliganism.
So as long as you establish a romantic relationship, it means you have one foot in marriage.
The most important thing is, Brother Lu is a soldier!
Military marriage is not something you can get married or divorce whenever you want. You have to submit a report to the organization for approval.
Lin Siqiao could only be extremely cautious.
Of course, she couldn't just enjoy the other person's efforts without taking any responsibility.
Lin Siqiao gave himself a deadline.
She will give Lu Jianchuan an explanation in half a year at most.
As for now, Lin Siqiao's focus will still be on study and work.
There is no way not to release it. As the first batch of customized clothes were delivered one after another, the response was unexpectedly good.
The clothing customization area is almost packed with the dignitaries, officials and family members of foreign guests who come here every day.
As a result, the business of other counters has improved a lot.
Everyone's attitude towards Lin Siqiao has also changed from initial doubt to current conviction.
Except for Wu Mingyu.
Ever since Lin Siqiao was parachuted in as the team leader of the clothing customization area, the person most affected was her, the team leader of the ready-to-wear area.
It is said that September and October are the golden months. In previous years, this was the peak sales season for their garment area!
It’s not like now, where we can only sell a few pieces in a day.
Wu Mingyu was so angry about this that she had several bubbles in her mouth, but she had no way to deal with Lin Siqiao.
Lin Siqiao is not only a popular figure in Director Zhong's eyes, but also the living signboard of Friendship Store.
It is almost impossible to make things difficult for her at work.
There is not much work in the garment area during this period, and the team members are bored while working.
Everyone looked at the customization area with envy.
"If I had known that I would go to school, I shouldn't have neglected my studies."
"If my English is as good as Team Leader Lin's, maybe I can become a team leader."
Someone laughed and said jokingly, "It's not too late for you to learn now."
“Why didn’t I learn it?”
The man argued, "I have to memorize and write words every afternoon when I go home."
"But what's the point of memorizing it? I'm afraid the foreign guests won't understand me if I read it with my accent."
When she said this, everyone else nodded in agreement.
"That's right. There are quite a few people in our unit who can speak English."
"But after listening to them, I still think that Team Leader Xiaolin's English is the most standard."
"At first glance, it sounds no different from what foreigners say."
"Yes, yes, I feel so too."
"I don't know how they learned it, how come it's so standard!"
Lin Siqiao only comes two days a week. Most of the time she is either in the office or in the treasure house upstairs. Everyone can't find a chance to get close to her.
No one knows anything about Lin Siqiao's background. We only know that she is from another place and is still in school.
"Maybe someone in her family has studied abroad."
Someone lowered his voice and said, "My neighbor next door studied abroad a few years ago, and his children speak foreign languages fluently."
"The accent sounds exactly like Team Leader Kobayashi's."
"You can't say that nonsense."
Someone interrupted the topic and asked, if someone in the family had studied abroad, how could Team Leader Xiaolin have the opportunity to come to Shanghai to go to university.
Whether or not, these are not issues they should discuss.
"Yes, yes, I just said it casually." She knew how miserable her neighbor's family became later.
Everyone laughed and changed the subject. The speaker was unintentional but the listener was intentional. Wu Mingyu was stunned for a long time after hearing it.
How could she be so stupid!
Such an important thing was discovered only now.
Wu Mingyu herself can speak English, and she knows clearly that it takes time to master English.
Especially spoken English, which is completely different from the exam.
She had good grades when she was in school, but in order to get a job at the Friendship Store, she studied hard at home for two years before she could barely communicate with foreign guests.
Lin Siqiao is from another place, how could her English be so fluent!
It was true that she was attending college, but Wu Mingyu had inquired and found out that it was not a good university, but a school majoring in acting.
The more Wu Mingyu thought about it, the more suspicious he found the matter. He went home that day and wrote an anonymous letter of complaint, adding fuel to the fire.
Lin Siqiao has been extremely busy lately and has no idea that danger is on the way.
Now, in addition to being busy at work, the school has also started to organize the National Day art performance.
During the class meeting on Monday, the head teacher said that each class would have to have at least three people this time.
As a member of the professional course study committee, Lin Siqiao couldn't even push off the rehearsal of the program.
The students in the class all cherish the opportunity to perform on stage, but with so many people, who should go on stage is a problem.
Lin Siqiao was afraid of trouble and wanted to be as fair as possible, after discussing with the class monitor and the head teacher.
It was decided that this time their freshman class A would not have solo singing, solo dancing, or solo performances.
Students can choose one of the three options: group dance, chorus, or performance of excerpts from model operas, based on their own strengths.
This way every student has the opportunity to show themselves, and the preparation is not tiring.
The students were very satisfied with this.
There are less than ten days left to National Day. Time is tight and apart from eating, sleeping and attending classes, everyone spends the rest of the time rehearsing the program.
Time passed quickly in the busyness, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of September. Lin Siqiao received a letter from Lu Jianchuan, and along with the letter came a package.
It's not very heavy and I don't know what it is.
I clearly told him before I left not to send me anything because I didn't need anything.
It's all in vain.
Lin Siqiao opened the letter and read it carefully.
Lu Jianchuan said in the letter.
After arriving in Beijing, he immediately went to the military hospital for a detailed physical examination. Currently, all the data are good, so she didn't need to worry.
He also said that the weather was getting colder now, and Yunshu had always wanted to buy a sheepskin hat before leaving.
But the ones from Shanghai are too ugly and she can’t wear them out.
He happened to pass by Wangfujing Department Store and went up to take a look.
There were quite a lot of styles inside, and Lu Jianchuan asked the salesperson to help him pick out the most fashionable one.
I bought two, one red and one blue-gray.
She must have what her sister has too.
Let Lin Siqiao pick a color she likes, and give the other one to Yun Shu.
Lin Siqiao couldn't help but laugh when she saw this. She and Yun Shu were together five days a week.
How come she didn't know that Yunshu wanted a hat.
Lin Siqiao paused and continued reading. Lu Jianchuan mainly talked about his experiences in the military academy.
He also mentioned that he would come back once before Lin Siqiao's winter vacation.
After reading the letter, Lin Siqiao did not rush to open the package, but quickly made the autumn pear paste.
In the evening, after taking a shower, Lin Siqiao finally calmed down and wrote him a reply.
In the letter, she briefly mentioned her recent situation and said that everything was fine.
She also told me not to send her anything next time, because after she saw the hat, she could only say that it is so easy to cheat men out of their money!
As for when the winter vacation would start, Lin Siqiao was not sure, so it was up to him whether he could come back or not.
After sending the letter, Lin Siqiao began his busy life again.
Fortunately, the numbers on the passbook are increasing day by day.
