"Shao Mo, I have great news for you!"
It was a rare sunny day, so after lunch, Shao Mo and Zhong Xiaochen went for a walk on the playground hand in hand and basked in the sun.
The two chatted as they walked towards the playground. "Didn't Shi Xiaowen participate in the election for the Student Union External Relations Department? She was eliminated."
Shao Mo didn't care too much. "With so many people participating in the election, it's normal to fail."
"There is fierce competition in other departments, but not in the External Relations Department. There are only a few people in the External Relations Department, and except for her, all the others were selected."
It's a bit embarrassing that she was the only one eliminated.
"The External Relations Department sounds good, but it's actually just about soliciting sponsorship. It's hard work and the pressure is high. The previous staff graduated or transferred to other departments, leaving only the External Relations Director alone. This term, they were planning to recruit a few more staff as reserves, so all the candidates were selected, except Shi Xiaowen. Do you know why?"
Shao Mo shook her head.
Zhong Xiaochen shook her arm, "Because of you!"
Shao Mo was puzzled, "How does it have anything to do with me?"
"Everyone knows that you have a rich father, a hidden rich woman. Everyone expects you to sponsor more school activities. Shi Xiaowen offended you, and the External Relations Department took her in. Isn't that an offense to you?"
Shao Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "She is who she is. She doesn't have the ability to influence my opinion of the student union."
"You are generous, but the people in the External Relations Department don't think so. If they have to choose between you and Shi Xiaowen, even a fool would know who to choose."
Shao Mo just treated this matter as a casual interest and listened to it for the sake of fun, but she didn't expect that Shi Xiaowen would come to her about it two days later.
Shi Xiaowen became the only one to be eliminated from the External Relations Department. Not only was she ridiculed, but she was also expelled from the Cultural Club she had previously joined, on the grounds that she had a bad reputation and damaged the image of the club.
The Cultural Society of Kyoto University is one of the top ten societies, dedicated to promoting cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. Every member has the opportunity to represent Kyoto University to travel to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and abroad for cultural communication and exchange activities, so it is extremely popular in Kyoto University.
It can be said that Shi Xiaowen had gone through great pains to squeeze into the cultural club, but was fired before she even had time to sit down.
She was unwilling to accept this and believed that Shao Mo was using her background and means to secretly target her.
"Shao Mo, I've already apologized to you, made self-reflection, and taken the punishment. What else do you want from me? Do you really have to force me to death?"
"Ah, what's going on? Why are the two of them quarreling again?"
"Who knows? But I heard that Shi Xiaowen was eliminated from the External Relations Department and then fired from the Cultural Club. I don't know if someone is targeting her on purpose."
Shi Xiaowen deliberately chose to confront Shao Mo in the crowded cafeteria, simply wanting to use public opinion to put pressure on her and get her to show mercy.
Unfortunately, Shi Xiaowen miscalculated.
Not to mention that these two things have nothing to do with her. Even if she really did it, why should she let Shi Xiaowen go?
"Shi Xiaowen, whether you believe it or not, your failure in the election for the student union and your expulsion from the cultural club have nothing to do with me."
Of course Shi Xiaowen didn't believe it. Ever since she was caught spreading rumors about Shao Mo, she hasn't had a single thing go her way. If Shao Mo hadn't been doing something bad, how could she be so unlucky.
At this moment, the vice president of the student union suddenly came over and said, "Shi Xiaowen, you think too superficially about the student union of Beijing University. Do you think any random student can influence the operation of the entire student union?
Your failure in the election has nothing to do with anyone, but this year the student union has issued a new rule that anyone with a disciplinary record cannot join the student union."
Shi Xiaowen didn't expect this to be the reason and stood there for a while.
The words of the vice president of the student union were like a loud slap in Shi Xiaowen's face. Her face turned red and white, and then white and red again, which was particularly wonderful.
Seeing that Shi Xiaowen had nothing to say, Shao Mo turned to thank the vice president of the Student Union, then turned around and prepared to leave the cafeteria, this place of trouble.
"Shao Mo!"
As soon as she walked out of the cafeteria door, the vice president of the student union caught up with her.
"The winter solstice is coming soon. The student union is planning to hold an activity to make dumplings for the winter solstice, but the budget is not enough..."
"How much is missing?"
Shao Mo's directness made the other person's face redden immediately, "I didn't help you just now to get sponsorship."
"Yes, I know, but you did help me out. I can help you solve the funding problem within my ability."
The other party gave a number very embarrassedly, "It's still more than 500 short."
"No problem, I'll get it to you tomorrow."
To Shao Mo, it was just one month's pocket money, but to the entire student union, it was a timely help.
The other party thanked her sincerely and invited her to host the event, but Shao Mo declined with a smile.
After more than a week of running around, Lingchuan finally rented a suitable shop.
The store is on Qianmen Street, which is located on the central axis of the capital and is a very popular commercial district. However, the store rented by Lingchuan is a bit remote, in a side alley on the main street. The store is not big, only about 40 square meters.
Although the location is remote and the store is not big, the rent is shockingly high.
The minimum lease period is one year, with a rent of 50,000 yuan and a deposit of 10,000 yuan. The rent will increase by 5% when the lease renews next year, and so on. The rent each year will increase by 5% based on the previous year's rent.
In order to open the store as soon as possible, Shao Mo designed a set of economical, simple yet tasteful decorations for the store.
The decoration was completed in just four days. All that remained was to customize the display cabinets and go to Shanghai to pick up the goods.
During the decoration and customization of the display cabinets, Lingchuan found two sales clerks, who were introduced by Wen Qingsheng. Both of them were local Beijing people with clean backgrounds and reliable character.
Selling pagers is not like selling trinkets. A pager costs one or two thousand yuan, while all the goods in the store add up to more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. If someone is not reliable, you would not dare to hire him.
Before opening a store, all distributors need to go to the company to participate in a seven-day product and sales training.
The night before going to Shanghai for training, Ling Chuan hugged Shao Mo and was reluctant to leave.
"Wife, I have to separate from you again."
Shao Mo lay in the man's embrace, her cheeks slightly pink from the heat. "It's only seven days, not a long time. Go and study hard. I'll have a gift for you when you come back."
Ling Chuan hugged her tighter, "I don't want any gifts, I just want you, my wife."
