C221 With Peace as the Price
"I learn! Thank you! Qin Wen. " She didn't expect the usually proud Old Liu to actually agree.
"For the sake of my son, I can do anything. This is nothing at all. Moreover, you're even willing to teach me for free. "
"It's just that I have something to say first. Among these insoles, I will only teach you how to embroidery peacocks and butterflies. The other designs are my own work. Then, you can sew a few more. "
Old Liu immediately sat next to Qin Wen to study. The workshop director immediately dismissed the loud Big Sister Li. His wife knew that it was all for his son. The family was indeed short of money, so she could only leave dejectedly. However, she did not expect Qin Wen to use such a method.
Li Li, who was still puzzled, immediately understood. Qin Wen was really smart. After thinking of this method that could kill two birds with one stone, it not only proved that these embroidery insoles were made by her. Not only that, but she also gave face to Old Liu and allowed him to learn from her. He had received the Excellent Worker Award and could even help his son go to school. Big Sis Li was also speechless, and the workshop director favored Qin Wen even more. Furthermore, he said that she was one of the more outstanding interns in this batch of college students. Actually, he had wanted to say that she was the most outstanding one. However, he was afraid that the other workers would be jealous, so he could only say that.
Noontime passed very quickly. Qin Wen and Old Liu made a few more embroidery insoles. Although Old Liu's insoles were slightly flawed, they were still qualified. However, the sales price was slightly lower than Qin Wen's insoles. They were considered second-grade, and Qin Wen's insoles were considered first-grade.
He was really too embarrassed to take Qin Wen's things for himself, so he put his embroidery insoles back into the basket. He bravely told the master in charge of the inspection that the master was quite surprised. He didn't know what Old Liu and Qin Wen were doing, but after the inspection, they said that Qin Wen was ranked first. Old Liu was ranked second, so Old Liu was qualified to run for an outstanding worker. And Qin Wen was an intern university student, so she didn't have the qualifications to participate in the election. So this time, Old Liu deserved it.
This day's work was relatively more enjoyable than finishing it. Qin Wen and Li Li, who had returned to the rented house, finally heaved a sigh of relief. The two of them ordered takeout and had a meal. Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door.
When they opened the door, they saw Big Sister Li and Old Liu.
What were the two of them doing here? However, they could not see Big Sister Li's fierce expression from before. Instead, he had a face full of unk s, and in his hands were several gifts.
"Why are you here? What are you doing here? How do you know the address of our place?" Li Li used her arm to block Qin Wen, as if she was afraid that Big Sister Li would break up and rob her. Qin Wen told Li Li to move aside and listen to what the two of them had to say. However, Li Li didn't agree because she was very worried about Big Sister Li. Previously, she was so overbearing, and she was afraid of bullying Qin Wen.
Big Sister Li, however, still had a smile on her face, and was embarrassed to say: "I thought you were new here. If you can talk nicely, just give your finished products to our Old Liu. Anyway, it's a good thing, because you won't be able to do much here for long. Those benefits have nothing to do with you. I was thinking that. . . If you accept the overtime pay, after Old Liu receives the reward. . . I'll give you some compensation, but I didn't expect it to start today. . . After that, everything calmed down. Old Liu even learned a skill. Although you guys are relatively young, I can't let you teach our Old Liu for free. "
Qin Wen immediately understood that Big Sister Li had indirectly given her tuition fees.
They were too embarrassed to give them money, so they bought a lot of gifts. Because Old Liu had been selected as an outstanding employee for the competition this time, his overall results were quite good. This time, he was probably going to win an award. He was probably going to win first or second place. These gifts. . . Compared to the prize money, they were just a drop in the bucket. However, it would be rude to not let them into the room. Moreover, the old couple also had a lot of trouble climbing up, so Qin Wen told Li Li to let them in first.
The old couple squeezed through the narrow door and looked around. They saw that they lived very ordinary lives.
Although the Liu family's financial situation was not good, it was still 2 bedrooms 1 living room. However, the two young people lived in one bedroom and one bedroom, and the attic had two bunk beds. When they raised their heads, they could even lift their heads. So they both bent down and went to the second floor of the bed. They both lived on the lower beds, because they had limited funds. So the decorations were very ordinary.
"Your house isn't too good. The rent of this place is expensive, how can you live here?" Old Liu finally couldn't help but say. Big Sister Li gently pulled his sleeve, telling him not to meddle in other people's business.
Li Li quickly said, "Our house manager Cheng only received 800 yuan a month. It's already very cheap. The houses here are all 15,000 yuan a month. "
Big Sis Li looked around and rolled her eyes. She curled her lips and smiled: "This is the market price. You two have been fooled. Give me 600 yuan a month for this kind of house. I won't rent it. I'll consider it for 500 yuan. "
Li Li felt that it was a little unbelievable. Logically speaking, Uncle Wen shouldn't charge too much for the acquaintances he introduced. How could it be like what Old Liu and the others said about this house? How could it not be valuable? "It can't be. These were all introduced by acquaintances. "
Old Liu sighed and said, "Silly child, acquaintances earn money from acquaintances. This is also a marketing strategy, you should ask around nearby. How about this, I'll go back and help you ask around the houses nearby. $1,500 to rent our two rooms and one living room, if you want to rent $800. . . You don't even need an attic, you can rent a third floor and fourth floor. . . One room and one living room are much more open and bright than this. "
Qin Wen was surprised. "How can this be? But we paid the rent for two months at once. In less than two months, I heard that we'll be able to get a car. We're preparing to go to Dongfang Corporation to work. It's not convenient to get the money back. "
Old Liu: "What a silly child. Forget it. Anyway, the money isn't particularly much. It's not bad to watch the scenery here. At the very least, it's relatively quiet. Just treat it as living in a room in a scenic area. Think about it this way, it's fine. Work hard in our workshop. Try to get yourself a better score. When the time comes, at the Eastern Group. . . Don't forget about us, the old couple. We often contact each other. "
With that said, the few of them were a little sad. Seeing that, Big Sister Li quickly opened a bag. It turned out that they had brought some pastries and fruits. Everyone was looking at the scenery as they chatted about the recent situation and some interesting news in the workshop.
Unknowingly, it was already dark. Qin Wen and the others hurriedly sent Old Liu and the others downstairs.
