I have been in Luo’s internship for a full month, and I also got my first month’s salary. Excluding the money for the dinner, I took out another thousand yuan to go shopping with Wang Huining and Dong Jianan, and picked a middle-class pair for Meng Yuanqing Cufflinks on the higher price point.
Meng Yuanqing pays great attention to appearance on weekdays, whether it is wear or supplies, both are delicate and picky.
I went to the counter and picked a pair of cufflinks directly. Wang Huining praised this: "I have been to Luo Family for a few years, and every year I rack my brains to give the vice minister a birthday gift. You pick such a right way when you come. After you come, you will be in the translation department like a duck."
Hearing that, I smiled and replied: "Men are not like women, so there are only a few things you can buy. I can't afford too expensive cufflinks. At any rate, these cufflinks are exquisite, and they are also given away."
After a pause, I added another sentence: "But I don't know if the deputy minister likes it or not."
Wang Huining subconsciously said, "Of course he likes the gift from a beautiful woman."
When her voice fell, Dong Jianan and I glanced at her instinctively, but seeing her standing in front of the counter of the men's watch shop, looking at herself, there was no strange expression.
Dong Jianan and I looked at each other. When I saw a touch of sorrow in her eyes, it proved that I was not alone.
"Thank you for taking this out for me to take a look." Wang Huining pointed to a silver mechanical watch on the counter and said to the clerk.
The clerk took out the watch box and handed it to Wang Huining.
Both I and Dong Jianan saw the price tag on the strap, one, two, three, four zeros! There is a three in front.
Dong Jianan raised her eyebrows subconsciously and said: "More than thirty thousand! Sister Huining, do you want to give such an expensive gift?"
After that, she whispered again: "Then how can we give this thousand-800-yuan gift?"
I also thought about Dong Jianan's words.
Wang Huining's expression was indifferent, and she suddenly sighed, unable to say whether it was teasing or feeling, she replied aloud: "People are average-looking, and the deputy minister is not liked, so I can only put more effort into gifts."
If the previous sentence might be a joke, then Wang Huining has been talking about it again and again in a short time, I am afraid it is not as simple as a joke.
The total price of this watch is more than 38,500. Because Wang Huining has a discount card here, it only cost more than 34,000.
However, this price is enough to surprise me and Dong Jianan.
It turns out that for Meng Yuanqing’s birthday, will the staff in the translation department give such an expensive gift?
After Wang Huining also picked the gifts, the three of us came out of the watch shop side by side, and now only Dong Jianan has not picked a gift.
Wang Huining asked aloud: "Jianan, have you decided what to send?"
With an embarrassed expression on his face, Dong Jianan whispered: "After watching you give such an expensive gift, I really don't know what to buy."
Wang Huining said: "In fact, the vice minister also has a personal hobby. Most people don't know that he likes to collect tableware. Or I will accompany you to the specialty store upstairs and buy a set of tableware for him."
Dong Jianan and I were both new to Luo's family and didn't know anything, so I depended on Wang Huining because she said what she said.
Dong Jianan immediately nodded in response: "Okay."
We took the elevator upstairs and entered a famous tableware store abroad. On the shelves in the store are all kinds of dishes and cups that are not like tableware but more like handicrafts.
Dong Jianan picked up a cup casually, and the price on it was all three-digit numbers, and they all started with seven and eight.
Dong Jianan lowered her voice and said to me: "Why is it so expensive?"
My family is in good condition in Liangcheng, but since I have been in the night city, I only know what is meant by countrymen entering the city. Compared with the smaller cities that are more suitable for living, Night City is more like a gorgeous palace wrapped in drunkenness and materialism. Although everyone lives in the palace, some are princes and nobles, and some are girls and slaves.
The only criterion for distinguishing identity-money.
I saw the clerk not far away, and seeing me and Dong Jianan looking on the side, I didn't want to talk to us at all, let alone warm hospitality.
I feel angry, but helpless, who makes us really unable to consume.
I also lowered my voice unconsciously, and I replied: "Why don't you pick a nicer cup, pack it better, and make it easy to handle."
Dong Jianan said with a sullen face: "You said you gave a pair of cufflinks, and you can still wear them on your body anyway. I give a cup for one thousand or eight hundred yuan. Isn't it a waste of drinking water?"
I whispered back: "Didn't Sister Huining say it, the vice minister likes it. Do what he likes, you don't care if he drinks water or what he drinks with this cup."
Encouraged by me, Dong Jianan gritted her teeth and stomped her feet. For nearly 1,600, she bought two glasses that were about the same as a few dollars outside and gave them to Meng Yuanqing.

I said, "Why buy two? You won't be able to live in the second half of the month?"
Dong Jianan bit his scalp and replied: "Our hometown's rules are not to give gifts but not orders."
If I want to say that China has many ‘rules’, it’s really pure nonsense and it’s a waste of money.
Dong Jianan also chose a good gift. The three of us walked out. During the period, Dong Jianan answered the phone and said that he would leave beforehand, so that Wang Huining and I would continue shopping.
I know that in addition to Luo's work, Dong Jianan now works part-time as a tutor on weekends, which is not allowed by Luo's, but of course I will not tell anyone.
We greeted Wang Huining and me, and Dong Jianan hurriedly ran to the elevator. During the period, she almost tripped due to too much hurry.
Wang Huining looked at Dong Jianan's back, tweeted in a low voice, and shook his head.
I was about to turn my head to look at Wang Huining when Dong Jianan had already entered the elevator and waved to Wang Huining and me with a smile.
Wang Huining smiled immediately and waved to Dong Jianan.
The elevator doors closed slowly, and I thought the previous ones were all illusions.
"Actually, she really shouldn't buy two cups"
Wang Huining suddenly sighed and said with emotion.
I also said, "Yes, a cup is so expensive, and I want her to send one."
Wang Huining took a breath and said meaningfully: "I mean, she is different from you. Whether she buys one or two, the effect is the same. The vice minister doesn't necessarily look twice."
When she said this, I finally changed my face.
Looking sideways at Wang Huining, I smiled awkwardly, and said softly: "Sister Huining, what do you mean by this?"
Wang Huining took my hand, and we walked forward like ordinary girls shopping.
On the way, she said to me: "Actually, I have hinted at her a long time ago. The vice minister can only accommodate good-looking ones, such as you, so whether you are giving a gift of 1,000 yuan or a gift A gift of ten thousand yuan, the deputy minister likes you the same; but Dong Jianan is different, she looks mediocre, and her work ability is not so high. Put her in the crowd, I will never look at her again. So I said she bought several cups the same, but it was just a cutscene."
Hearing this, my mood became even more strange, and I couldn't help but show embarrassment, and said: "Sister Huining, you are too exaggerated."
Wang Huining glanced at me sideways, and said with a serious expression: "Do you think I am joking?"
Having said that, she said again: "Zi Jin, I don’t know why, I’m very close to you, so I’m willing to tell you anything. When Dong Jianan was there, I didn’t even mention it. In fact, beautiful women are popular everywhere. In a society that looks at the face, good looks is what people like."
To be honest, in my eyes, Wang Huining is also an ordinary-looking person. Even after working for a few years, he has some experience, so he is better at dressing and covering up than someone like Dong Jianan who can’t dress up. Moreover, she just bought a watch worth more than 30,000 yuan.
Now she turned her head and told me this, and she couldn’t help but weigh it in my heart. Did she say this to me on purpose, or
Seeing that I didn't answer the conversation right away, Wang Huining quickly glanced at me and raised her eyebrows: "Zi Jin, don't think too much, I'm quick to talk, say whatever you want, I don't take it. You are an outsider, so even the vice minister likes beautiful women, and he will tell you bluntly."
Since I called Luo, I have been taken care of by Wang Huining, and I am grateful in my heart, so when I heard this, I immediately replied: "I know, Huining sister, I didn't think much about it, just."
I hesitated for a moment and said in words: "I didn't expect that the kind person of the vice minister would be the kind of ‘seeing people’s food’ as you said."
Wang Huining smiled, with a meaningful smile, she said: "Zijin, you are still young. When I first entered the society, I thought so. I even naively thought that as long as I work hard enough, my boss Sooner or later I will be promoted, but what about the facts?"
The corners of her lips curled up in a mocking arc, and it took a long time to say: "Forget it, you just came to Luo's, I don't want to scare you away all of a sudden, you will cross the river by feeling the stones and think about it slowly."
Wang Huining's words reminded me of those five Japanese customers inexplicably. Baidu Sister-in-law #>pen>Ge—With love and time
My first job when I just joined the Luo family was to deal with these five satyrs. Actually, life will teach me the most true lesson without anyone telling me.
Suddenly, my spine got cold, and my body shivered, all with goose bumps.
Holding Wang Huining's hand, I hurriedly said sweetly: "Sister Huining, don't let me cross the river by feeling the stones by myself. You are now my crutch for crossing the river and the beacon for guiding the way. From now on I will be in Luo's family. It's all up to you."
Wang Huining raised her lips as I said, and smiled and replied: "Okay, it's rare to see someone who looks good and is not a scheming bitch. Look at the translation department of Luo's translation department. It is calm, but the waves are surging behind you. Fuck with me, I promise you won’t let your boat capsize in the gutter.
I nodded and said back: "We two take care of each other. If there is anything wrong with Sister Hui Ning, I will definitely help."
We both talked and walked forward. Suddenly Wang Huining stopped. She paused, looked straight ahead somewhere, and said, "Hey, look, is that Li Yanshu?"
Lee Yeonsu?
