Chapter 420 The Su Mei I’ve seen in the newspaper!
"Hello." The boy greeted Su Mei a little awkwardly.
Su Mei didn't know why the boy wanted to say hello to her, but since he had already spoken, she nodded politely and said, "Hello!"
"I met you at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau that day. My name is Liang Shizheng." The male student was worried that Su Mei would think it was strange that he greeted her for no apparent reason, so he introduced himself to her again.
Then, he curiously asked Su Mei: "Are you also a student at the Academy of Fine Arts?"
"I'm not." Su Mei shook her head and said, "I came here to look for someone. I'm sorry that I took away your chance to make money that day."
Liang Shizheng scratched his head, smiled shyly, and said, "How could that be? I'm not as skilled as you! I wanted to do more, but I ignored the role of the business license, which was a bit superfluous. After I came back, I thought about it and realized that you did a better job."
Seeing Liang Shizheng's reserved and shy look, Su Mei couldn't help but feel a little confused.
She remembered clearly that on that afternoon a few days ago, when they first met, the man had asked her to move out of the way in a rude manner.
At that time, he looked arrogant and his tone was cold and stiff.
He is completely different from the shy boy in front of me.
Could it be that he looked so rude that day just because he was anxious or had something urgent to deal with?
If he was just anxious, Su Mei thought she could still cooperate with him.
After all, she still highly recognized Liang Shizheng's painting skills.
It's better to find him than to find someone whose ability is completely unknown.
After a little thought, Su Mei took out the sign she had prepared in advance and handed it to Liang Shizheng.
She held up the sign and explained to Leung Sze-ching:
“Actually, I came here this time to find someone to help me design and make a store sign and a company logo.
I wonder if you are interested in giving it a try?"
"Ah?" The boy was surprised for a moment, then looked at Su Mei's brand.
He frowned after reading it and said hesitantly, "I can do this. I have painted plaques for supply and marketing cooperatives and photo studios before.
But opening a private shop of yours is speculation, right?
I cannot do anything that violates discipline.”
The official document was issued not long ago, not many people know the inside story, and the relevant units have not officially publicized this matter.
Although Leung Sze-ching had designed the business license, he did not know that the business license was for private operation.
So when Liang Shizheng saw Su Mei's request, he subconsciously thought that Su Mei was going to do something that was not in line with the policy.
"It's not a shortcut. It's allowed by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. I have a business license. Just tell me if you can do it?" Su Mei said directly.
Is it allowed by the Industry and Commerce Bureau?
Liang Shizheng was confused, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just looked at Su Mei and nodded:
"If it is legal and does not violate regulations, then I can do it. I can."
"How much does this cost?" Su Mei asked.
Liang Shizheng thought for a while before responding:
"Will it cost you twenty bucks? The plaque is fifteen bucks, and the logo is the trademark, right? I'll charge you...five bucks for this, is that okay with you?"
“My plaque is more complicated than those in photo studios or supply and marketing cooperatives. I don’t want a few words written on a whiteboard. I want something very creative.
It won’t be simpler than the business license you made the other day, and it’s larger in size, and you have to draw a logo on it. Are you sure it’s only 15 yuan?” Su Mei remembered that the business license Liang Shizheng designed for the Industry and Commerce Bureau was 20 yuan.
Speaking of business license...Su Mei suddenly remembered that she applied for a business license from the Industry and Commerce Bureau that day, but Zhou Shi didn't give her a penny.
But it doesn’t matter anymore...it’s their Industrial and Commercial Bureau’s own property anyway.
She just moved the things that belonged to them in the future to this era in advance, so it didn't matter whether she was paid or not.
Hearing Su Mei's question, Liang Shizheng nodded affirmatively:
"Twenty dollars is enough. You have customized it, so I guess you don't have much money, right? But, can you pay me first?"
"Shall I pay you half first?" Paying half is considered a deposit. Although the amount is not much, Su Mei can afford it all at once, but since it is a cooperation, there must be rules.
Liang Shizheng looked a little embarrassed. He glanced at Su Mei hesitantly, but finally nodded: "Okay, half and half."
"Are you in urgent need of money?" Su Mei was very sensitive and caught Liang Shizheng's hesitation.
"My mother is in the hospital and needs money for treatment." Liang Shizheng admitted openly. He added, "I came to school just now because I went to the hospital to take care of her this morning and came here just now."
After hearing what Liang Shizheng said, Su Mei thought for a moment, then she took out forty yuan from her pocket and handed it to Liang Shizheng, saying:
"If you need it urgently, I'll give it to you first. It's forty in total. Do your job well. I'll probably have a lot of similar work to do in the future. If you do a good job, I'll come back to you next time."
"Twenty is enough~" Liang Shizheng's hands were shaking as he held the money.
He seemed a little excited and took out two ten-dollar bills and wanted to return them to Su Mei.
Su Mei didn't accept it. She originally planned to spend 40 yuan to hire someone to design it.
But since Liang Shizheng said it only cost twenty, she thought it was a good idea to save a penny.
After hearing Liang Shizheng say that someone in her family was sick and they needed money urgently, Su Mei gave up the idea of saving money.
But she didn't say that she was going to spend forty dollars.
Let Liang Shizheng misunderstand her and say that she gave more money because someone in his family was sick.
Make him feel grateful, and he will work harder.
She waved her hands and said, "Take it! If you don't need it urgently, tomorrow is the weekend, you can come to my store directly to find me.
My store is right next to the Wangfujing Department Store. It is the largest and newest courtyard next to the building. It is very conspicuous. Go and look for it! You can find it easily. By the way, my last name is Su Mei.
"Comrade Su Mei...thank you!" Liang Shizheng's hands holding the money were shaking again and again.
It was not until Su Mei disappeared from his sight on her bicycle that Liang Shizheng came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.
His eyes widened, and he finally remembered that this familiar-looking woman was Su Mei who had appeared frequently in major newspapers in the past year!
Liang Shi was staring at the money in his hand with red eyes.
Tears welled up in his eyes unconsciously, and he blinked hard to force the tears back.
This money is like timely help to him.
After getting the money, he did not go back into the school. Instead, he held the money tightly in his hand, turned around and ran quickly towards the hospital.
