Sun Lifang received two phone calls early in the morning, one of which was from Milan.
She said, "The payment for the design draft has been transferred to your bank card. Please check it."
Sun Lifang is now a special-post designer at Zhongshanju, and what she made was just a preliminary line drawing.
Subsequent design improvements and operations were handled by a professional team.
Milan, fearing she might be upset, explained, "Your name will be listed first. All products in this series will involve derivative processing. If you have any opinions, please feel free to communicate with me."
Sun Lifang expressed her understanding, saying that doing business is like making a cake; only by making the cake bigger can everyone get a bigger slice.
Add product lines to the existing design to maximize the impact of the work.
In addition, it was through working with these people that Sun Lifang became increasingly aware of her own shortcomings.
Having seen all sorts of fresh paintings and ideas from designers from all over the world, her heart seemed to slowly become younger in the presence of art.
Compared to the physical body, the soul truly becomes vibrant.
Sun Lifang has always been precocious. While her peers were enjoying campus life, she was already thinking about how to get a job.
All they think about is making money.
Besides working to earn tuition fees, she also needs to save money to plan for the future, such as how to make a plan after leaving school.
She wants to buy a house in Haicheng and bring her grandmother to live with her.
A friend asked her, "Why don't you go out and have fun? You're really unconventional."
But there was nothing she could do; she knew she had no way out.
If someone is lazy and doesn't want to work hard, the worst thing they can do is go back to square one and stay at home in the city waiting for their parents or relatives to arrange a job for them.
If you're lazy, you can only go back to the countryside, back to that mud house.
She was starting at a different level in life, and she couldn't let her grandmother down.
The person who told her, "Study hard and don't save money," yet wouldn't even eat an egg himself.
The person who pulled a stack of small bills from his handkerchief and gave them to her at school.
Without her grandmother, there would be no Sun Lifang today.
Having a university degree is a real advantage.
What's more, she majored in English, and her starting salary for internships was at least 200 yuan.
Two hundred yuan was roughly the family's living expenses for a year in the past.
Now, she can earn that in a month.
So after graduation, regardless of her interests, Sun Lifang only took jobs with high salaries.
Among them, sales has the lowest barrier to entry.
It seems like anyone who graduates from any major can work in sales, and you don't even need a degree to do it.
Office workers earn 200 yuan a month, while those who go out to do sales earn 300 yuan plus commission.
I can guess what he's doing.
Most of their classmates who graduated from English majors went to publishing houses, translation agencies, or large companies to work as clerks – a respectable position.
In many people's eyes, sales is a very low-level job.
They fawn over customers every day, like a lapdog.
But Sun Lifang didn't think so.
It was precisely because others refused to do it that she was given the opportunity to do it.
Anyone can do sales, but what about a salesperson who can speak English?
Imagine you are a customer. Given the same product, would you choose a regular salesperson or a salesperson from a prestigious university who speaks English to serve you?
The answer is obvious.
Sun Lifang leveraged the school's reputation to achieve outstanding results.
It's not that she's particularly eloquent, but rather that demand exceeds supply.
In the early 1990s, a large number of foreign-funded enterprises entered China, and Haicheng was still a former concession, where more people spoke English.
Which of the people who come to buy things is a fool?
They prefer fresh-faced, honest college students to seasoned, shrewd salespeople.
Perhaps I secretly thought that students were more naive and easier to bargain for.
In reality, the company's discounts are all predetermined.
The price is the same no matter who you contact.
But Sun Lifang seized the opportunity presented by her prestigious university background and fluency in English, and soared to great heights.
In the years following her graduation from university, she amassed wealth rapidly and bought a dilapidated old house.
It's a bit small, but at least she has a home now.
This was also the source of her confidence when she later married Zhou Yunshi.
They, who have experienced life-changing events, deeply understand how beneficial reading is.
That's why Sun Lifang in her previous life forced her daughter to study.
She didn't understand any educational methods; all she knew was that she should be like herself and not return to the bottom of society.
For so many years, Sun Lifang's nerves have always been on edge.
She didn't understand the joy of the girls in school who were fans of celebrities, nor did she understand why her classmates could whine to their parents for expenses beyond their living expenses.
When she met the bright eyes of her classmates, Sun Lifang was sure that her own gaze must have been blank.
She knows exactly what she wants.
In order to get what you want, you will inevitably lose something.
For example—
youth.
She didn't have the romantic feelings of a young girl.
Working every day is tiring enough, how can I have the energy to think about other things?
Her classmates criticized her: "You're too unsociable, that's why nobody likes you."
But Sun Lifang doesn't need anyone's approval.
You haven't put yourself in my shoes, so how can you use your perspective to criticize me?
If you were me, what would you do?
What you should do at what age.
After graduating from university, in order to earn money, she chose sales, a field that was not of interest to her, and was forced to learn sales techniques and understand product features.
After getting married, she chose to return to her family for the sake of her children, supervising their studies and taking care of the household.
This was something she had never experienced before.
Her mother wouldn't take care of her, let alone supervise her studies. In fact, she wished that she would stop studying, go home immediately, get married, have children, and collect a dowry to settle things.
