Chapter 446 The hair that grows back looks so pitiful!
Going to an internship?
Su Mei always thought that Leung Sze-ching was a freshman!
It turns out that I’m already a senior.
If such a useful artist were to do another job, she would have to spend time looking for one again.
Why not just try to keep Leung Sze Ching?
She will have to perform a lot of actions in the future, and there will be a lot of areas where she will need to use art.
It would be best if he could stay.
Su Mei looked at Liang Shizheng and asked directly:
"Liang Shizheng, tell me, how much is your new design job paid? Also, what do you usually do?"
Hearing this, Liang Shizheng smiled bitterly and said:
"Well, the school hasn't assigned me yet, so I don't know what I'll be doing specifically. It's rare for people of our major to be assigned jobs that fully match our major.
And there is no salary during internship, you have to wait until you are hired as a full-time employee.”
When Su Mei heard this, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Will the salary after becoming a regular employee be higher than what I offer here?"
"No." Liang Shizheng shook her head and told the truth:
"To be honest, it's hard to find a job like yours outside. State-owned enterprises are all about stability, and the salary will definitely not be as high as yours at the beginning."
He paused and added, "It's rare to find a boss as generous as you."
For other people, private bosses pay less than state-owned enterprises.
In fact, with the reform and opening up, various private shops have sprung up in the streets and alleys like mushrooms after rain, and Liang Shizheng has already received several jobs to design plaques.
Those bosses always try to push the price down as much as possible when it comes to paying. I have never met anyone as easy to talk to as Su Mei.
Su Mei smiled and said, "Design is a profession that relies on new ideas and new tricks in your head.
No matter how smart a person is, his creativity is limited, so the salary must be adequate. "
To put it bluntly, design is often a young person's meal.
She changed the subject and looked at Liang Shizheng.
"Or, why don't you just come to my place.
I have a lot of art design jobs coming up from now on, and I think you're a good fit, so why don't you stay here?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Shizheng was stunned. He did not expect Su Mei to say this.
He hesitated for a moment and said:
"Comrade Su Mei, your proposal is too sudden. I need to think about it carefully.
After all, working in a state-owned enterprise is a stable job, and my family also hopes that I can settle down.
I can’t make this decision myself, I have to go back and discuss it with them.”
"Okay, think about it." Su Mei nodded to show her understanding:
“I understand, this is something that needs to be handled with caution.
Go back and discuss this with your family. There's no need to rush to give me an answer.
My door is always open for you."
The question of whether to stay or not was put on hold for the time being.
Su Mei also told Liang Shizheng the specific matters of making promotional brochures and signing confidentiality agreements, and she asked Liang Shizheng to do it first.
In case Liang Shi is about to go for an internship somewhere else, she will recruit someone to take over.
Liang Shizheng agreed.
After the discussion, Huo Jianguo's meal was ready.
He called Su Mei, and then called Li Shufen and Yang Suhua to go to the restaurant for dinner.
At the dinner table, Huo Jianguo's cooking skills were praised by everyone, and Su Mei also felt that his cooking was much more delicious than when he was in the army.
Huo Jianguo kept picking up food for Su Mei. He seemed to be obsessed with feeding Su Mei and making her fat again.
Su Mei looked at the food piled up in her bowl and smiled helplessly and happily.
After dinner, Liang Shizheng took Su Mei and Huo Jianguo to his home.
His family lives in a simple but warm courtyard.
The yard was tidy and Su Mei felt that it really looked like the yard where the buyer lived.
Many of the items inside are neatly arranged like those in a department store.
Sitting in the yard was a woman with a slightly pale face but a warm smile - Liang Shizheng's mother, Yang Lirong.
She had obviously just recovered from an illness, and her face still looked a little weak.
"Mom, this is Su Mei, my boss. She is the one who gave me this rare job opportunity." Liang Shi first introduced Su Mei to his mother.
Then he pointed at Huo Jianguo and said, "And this one, is Su Mei's lover, Huo Jianguo."
Hearing this introduction, Huo Jianguo smiled subtly.
He remembered that in the past, when people introduced the couple, they would say that this one is Commander Huo and the one next to him is his lover.
His wife is so capable that he has become her foil.
When Yang Lirong heard that Su Mei was Liang Shizheng's boss, she quickly stood up, folded her hands in front of her stomach, and looked at Su Mei with gratitude in her eyes:
"Boss Su, thank you so much! Our Shizheng is where it is today, all thanks to your support.
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to come back from the gates of hell."
As she said this, she wanted to step forward and hold Su Mei's hand, but she was afraid that Su Mei would dislike her, so she took it back awkwardly.
Seeing this, Su Mei hurried forward a few steps, held Yang Lirong's arm, and whispered softly:
"Auntie, you're welcome. Liang Shizheng is talented and I just provided him with a platform.
Come to think of it, I have something I want to ask you."
Su Mei came to inquire about the ins and outs of purchasing after hearing from Liang Shizheng that Yang Lirong used to be a buyer for a department store.
Yang Lirong is familiar with this matter.
Yang Lirong never thought that even after she resigned, her previous work experience could still help Su Mei.
She was happy and patient to explain to Su Mei the procurement channels and strategies, as well as how to control costs while ensuring quality.
Su Mei nodded as she listened.
People these days are still quite pragmatic, and what Yang Lirong said sounded very professional.
Su Mei felt that the department store was just a transition, and she would definitely have to hire people to buy goods and run the store in the future, so an idea came to her mind.
He simply recruited Yang Lirong back to be a buyer for his own supermarket.
Her supermarket is quite big, and even now, she and Huo Jianguo cannot handle it all by themselves.
We need to recruit people anyway, so why not hire these ready-made experienced people?
She thought for a moment and said sincerely:
"Auntie, do you know? I'm asking this because I also opened a supermarket, which is quite large.
I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you when I get busy in the future.
I see you are so capable, why don't you come and help me? Let's do your old job, purchasing."
When Yang Lirong heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, followed by full excitement.
She never thought that at her age, she would have such an opportunity.
She thought that after leaving the state-owned enterprise, she would never have a chance to work in the workplace again in her life.
She has been worrying about this these days!
"Boss Su, are you serious? I am willing, I am willing!" She responded repeatedly, tears flashing in her eyes, which were the sparks that rekindled her hope for life.
Su Mei smiled and nodded, then turned to Liang Shizheng and said:
"Aren't you going to deliver the plaque tomorrow? Then bring Auntie along so she can see my supermarket first."
Having said that, Su Mei stood up and went with Liang Shizheng to see the supermarket sign he had made.
The plaque was simple and elegant, yet modern, with the words "Huosu Department Store" written in large letters on it.
When Huo Jianguo saw the name of the supermarket, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that the supermarket would be the combined name of him and Su Mei.
He thought that when he opened a security and escort company in the future, he would call it "Huosu Security".
After leaving Liang's house, Su Mei decided to go to the barber shop to get her hair done.
The shaved hair finally grew back to the shoulders, but Su Mei never trimmed it.
New Year, new atmosphere, she also wants to change her hairstyle to show off!
On the distinctly black and white streets, there are low brick and tile houses on both sides. Occasionally, one or two slightly taller buildings can be seen, but most of them still retain their old style.
The barber shop's decoration style is also full of age, with a few flashing neon words hanging on the wooden sign - "Haircut".
Inside the store, an old chef was using red-hot tongs to perm a customer's hair. A faint smell of burning filled the air.
Su Mei sat down and waited for a while, the customer in front of her finished her perm and it was her turn.
She sat down happily and described her ideal hairstyle to the master.
Then the master picked up the flint and started to heat it.
Huo Jianguo stood by, looking at the white smoke on Su Mei's forehead, and secretly decided that he would never let Su Mei suffer this pain again.
In order to be beautiful...you want to ruin your hair?
Huo Jianguo felt so pitiful for Su Mei’s hair which had finally grown back!
