Chapter 474: Convincing Xiaolin
After going up to the second floor, Sister Guihua took Xiaoyu to the third floor to sleep. Xiaolin sat alone in the living room watching TV.
I was watching a Korean family ethics drama and was wiping my tears with a tissue.
Seeing me come in, she glanced at me, wiped her eyes, turned off the movie, and said:
"I won't watch it anymore. The more I watch, the more I want to cry."
I laughed and said, "This kind of TV show is meant to trick people like you."
She glanced at me and asked, "Why did you lie to me?"
I said, "My daughter-in-law is incredibly kind, but my mother-in-law is so demanding and unkind. Life is incredibly hard, and my husband is a complete loser."
Only the heroine remains unyielding in the face of her miserable fate. So, you cry for her.”
She said, “What if I don’t cry?”
I laughed and said, "This is a common tactic used by screenwriters. I've read a lot of novels and know how the novelist writes every step. I can tell the ending just by reading the beginning, so I'm not interested in reading it."
She said, "What else can I do if I don't watch it? Play cards? I don't really feel like it. Visit friends? I don't know anyone there. Go chat with your mother?"
I smiled and said, "You don't need to work in a design studio anymore. I'll help you find a good job."
She looked at me, stood up and made me a glass of milk.
I asked Jiang Yiwei to open a clothing store. Captain Gu and Jiang Yiwei asked me for advice. I gave them some ideas and they invited me to invest... I explained the whole thing in detail from beginning to end.
"You think there's money to be made?"
"There are at least three major benefits."
"you say."
"The biggest advantage is that the work is easy. Setting up a design studio requires hiring people, renting space, and contacting construction teams.
Even if the owner calls you and asks you to rush over, you have to rush over, which is very troublesome.
Now, you have 20 million yuan on hand, and the interest earned from a one-year bank deposit is over 400,000 yuan, which is enough to support your life. You don't have to work too hard on yourself."
She nodded.
"The second benefit is that your life is fulfilling. You can manage your daily work, financial affairs, and online shopping in the future."
She nodded again.
"The third benefit is that it makes you more beautiful. You know about makeup and etiquette, but they're actors themselves, so they know better. After learning from them, you'll be more impressive.
When others see you, they say: "Oh, Sister Xiaolin, you look younger and younger, you look only 18 years old. How wonderful."
She gave me a stern look.
"In addition to these three points, there is another invisible benefit."
"Invisible?"
"Yes, their training center is right across from Xiao Shitou's store. You can take care of Xiao Shitou nearby."
For those with frozen shoulder or cervical spine problems, you can recommend them to Xiao Shitou's shop for massage and acupuncture."
She asked, "Are those two devilish women easy to deal with?"
I burst out laughing. "When you were in Wuxiang, you worked under Mr. Tan. They're not as powerful as Mr. Tan, are they? Captain Gu is a good person."
As for Jiang Yiwei, I used to have some misunderstandings, thinking she was vain and married a wealthy second-married man. But after these two interactions, I found that her husband is a pretty good man.
The so-called demons are those who are more generous than the average person and will actively ask for a hug. In fact, when someone asks you to hug them in public, you feel relieved, but you are afraid..."
I was just about to cite Zuo Qingfen's example, but I swallowed the words back.
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid the kind of woman who appears serious on the surface but is actually thinking about other people's husbands in her heart is scary. There's another thing..." I picked up the milk and took a sip.
"What else? You always interrupt your sentences in very strange ways."
"Another thing is that you have to get used to them. Anyone who is engaged in acting or directing, they speak with a lively expression, their eyes roll around, and they make gestures constantly.
To ordinary people, this might seem artificial, exaggerated, and unrealistic, but for them who have been acting for a long time, these little movements have become a habit.
It's the same thing as being a designer. You have a professional habit, too. As soon as you walk in, you notice the decor of the home, silently wondering what the style is, what the materials are, and how much it cost. Then you can't help but ask the owner how much the renovation cost. If you don't ask, it feels like you've wasted your trip.
She couldn't help laughing.
"Everyone has professional habits. If you don't learn from me, it might seem like what I do has nothing to do with you. But you should learn from me. Learn to observe people."
"Master Wan, based on your observation, who are these two people?"
I said, "Leader Gu is kindhearted, older, a leader, and more stable. She has her own artistic pursuits. It's a pity she missed the opportunity."
When she was young, she was only interested in acting and didn't rush out to become an actress in TV or dramas. With her skills and looks, she could definitely become a star.
Although they have achieved some success and their movies have won awards, it is very difficult for women, especially those who are older, to become famous. Now they can only make some money by using their fame.
This is a choice she had to make. She is planning for the rest of her life, so she will run this training center seriously.”
"oh."
I continued, "Jiang Yiwei is cunning and knows how to win people over. This needs to be analyzed from both positive and negative perspectives. When doing business, you should partner with people who are cunning and know how to win people over.
Look at your Mr. Tan, the first thing he says is, "Brother, who told me to meet you in such a vast crowd? This is fate. I will decorate for you even if I don't make money."
Xiaolin smiled.
"Right? You laughed. You also think she's lying. If she said she contacted you three or four times and you still can't make up your mind, are you playing us like monkeys? Then, I would definitely turn around and leave."
Xiao Lin asked, "Is she the same as Mr. Tan?"
I said, "She hasn't reached the level of your Mr. Tan. Your Mr. Tan always calls a monk his brother-in-law."
Xiao Lin gave me another glare: "You mean I can go?"
I teased her, "You can definitely go. You don't have Mr. Tan's eloquence, but you have good eyesight."
"Do I have good eyesight?"
"Otherwise, why did you choose Wan Shanhong?"
She grabbed the pillow and threw it at me: "You are so conceited."
I smiled and said, "You have to allow me to brag a little. I failed the college entrance examination, so I had to make a living and was often scolded by my sister. I have worked hard to live like this today, but I can only tell you this."
"Why?"
"I told my sister about it, and she said she was the one who brought me out of the mountains. Does she have a point? Yes, she does.
If I tell my mom about this, she'll bring up the time I wet the bed, saying I wouldn't exist without her. So I can only brag to you."
Xiao Lin said after a while: "Actually, I know it's not easy for you either. You worry so much about this family."
"Okay, it's settled. They'll come to visit us after the New Year. It's settled."
After taking a shower, I reviewed with Xiaolin some of the phonetic letters that have been used since the birth of mankind - aoe.
