Chapter 90: Hairstyles
Zhang Chen pulled the depressed but full of fighting spirit Su Zhuohui out of Nieman Marcus, and walked a short distance to the largest barber shop in San Francisco, the Sassoon Design Center.
Sassoon's welcome brother looked like a gentleman, and Zhang Chen pointed at Su Zhuorui, "Give this lady a hairstyle that you are best at." “
Su Zhuorui grabbed Zhang Chen in fear: "You won't have to make a lot of money here, right?"
Zhang Chen smiled: "Don't worry, you can afford this." Brother, you take this lady to do her hair first, and I'll go out for a spin. “
Zhang Chen returned to Niman Marcus again, and just now he thought that he should bring some gifts to his parents, Tang Miaomiao, and Lin Xiaoxia. It's hard to bring anything too big, and things like trinkets and bags are perfect for you.
And Zhang Chen remembered that his mother complained about Zhang Guoqiang when she was in her sixties, and she never wore the diamond ring that Zhang Guoqiang bought in her life.
Forget the ring, this opportunity is left to Dad. But it is still necessary to buy a necklace that is not so expensive and give it to Su Wenjin.
When Su Wenjin was young, she was a famous beauty in the unit, and there were many suitors. But years of hard work and a not rich life made Su Wenjin unable to retain his appearance and youth.
And now, Su Wenjin is less than forty, Zhang Chen believes that the change of fate in this life can make his mother live more beautiful and confident.
Zhang Chen came to Tiffany again, called the salesman just now, and selected a necklace for Su Wenjin, Tang Miaomiao, and Lin Xiaoxia. Zhang Chen thought about it and bought another pair of cheap earrings and a small bracelet.
Dad is an intellectual, Zhang Chen chose a Montblanc pen for Zhang Guoqiang, and brought some gifts to his sister-in-law and brother-in-law.
Originally, it would be too late to buy these things before leaving the United States in two months, but Zhang Chen has always been afraid of trouble when he buys things, so since he has come to the shopping area, he will simply buy them and save them when the time comes.
After purchasing, Zhang Chen returned to the Sassoon hair salon with a large bag and a small bag. Su Zhuorui's new hairstyle was still being processed, Zhang Chen asked Su Zhuoyuan for the car keys, and put the big bag and small bag into the car first. I only put the stud earrings that I bought at Tiffany for less than $300 on my body.
It will take at least three hours to see Su Zhuorui's new look, and Zhang Chen walked to find the office address that Barbara had left for him, and walked for about twenty minutes.
Walking on the road, Zhang Chen called Barbara, and when she received Zhang Chen's call, Barbara was very surprised: "Oh, I thought you didn't want my recommendation." Barbara complained.
Zhang Chen smiled: "How come, I'll be in your office soon." “
Barbara said briskly: "When you arrive, you need to register the visitor list, report your name to the front desk, and say that you have an appointment with me." If you don't come back, I'll be back to HSD the day after tomorrow. “
Zhang Chen followed Barbara's prompts and found Barbara's office. After explaining her intentions to the front desk, the girl at the front desk led Zhang Chen to Barbara's office with a smile.
"Barbara, long time no see. Zhang Chen took the initiative to hug the old lady who was nearly sixty years old.
Barbara feigned anger and said, "I thought you, the new millionaire, couldn't remember me as an old woman." “
Seeing Zhang Chen's confused appearance, Barbara laughed and handed today's "San Francisco Chronicle" to Zhang Chen, "I really didn't expect that you would be in the newspaper just a few days after you came." Million dollar site, lol. “
Zhang Chen's eyes lit up, it turned out that Shen Mingjie moved so fast, and he had already seen the newspaper today.
Zhang Chen said ashamedly: "It's just a gimmick, I didn't start to contact the Internet until I arrived in the United States, and I suddenly had this whimsical idea, but I didn't expect that there would be reporters to interview." “
Barbara nodded, "Whimsy is a maverick of genius, haha." After that, he pointed to a line in the newspaper and said, "Well, in two days, there was a revenue of more than 3,000 US dollars, which is very good." Work hard, sell 10,000 squares, and you'll be a millionaire. “
Zhang Chen spread his hands and said helplessly: "Where is it so easy, I have almost swept all over the San Francisco area, and I have signed more than 30 contracts." 10,000 is impossible, and I don't know when we will be able to sell 100 of them. “
Barbara is not actually interested in Zhang Chen's low-forcing website, it is just a joke for her.
Zhang Chen took out the pair of studs he had just bought at Tiffany from his trouser pocket, handed them to Barbara and said, "I was shopping just now, and I will give you a small gift by the way, rest assured, it is not more than 250 US dollars, it is just a gift exchange between friends." “
Barbara opened the box and found a pair of tiny studs, and smiled and said, "Oh, thank you, Chinese boy." “
Zhang Chen said with a smile: "I just bought a gift for my parents in Nieman, and when I saw this pair of earrings, I thought it was very suitable for you, and the value did not violate the law, so I bought it." “
In fact, China and the United States are the same, both need necessary human exchanges. It's just that the United States is stricter in this regard and more covert.
Barbara smiled: "I have already written your letter of recommendation, Stanford starts summer courses on July 8, but it is best for you to sign up before then, otherwise there may not be a guarantee of a place." As he spoke, he handed Zhang Chen a large envelope, which contained a letter of recommendation signed by Barbara.
Zhang Chen cheered, it was amazing!
It should be said that in the 21st century, the century of Stanford, the era of the Internet is the era of Stanford.
It was precisely because in 1959, when Termman, then dean of the School of Engineering at Stanford University, proposed to lease 1,000 acres of land to alumni to set up a company for almost free, which led to the establishment and settlement of pioneer companies such as Hewlett-Packard, Fairchild, and Intel. And this thousand acres of land was the prototype of Silicon Valley.
In later generations, the billionaires who came out of Stanford were second only to Harvard, ranking second in the world. And as the Internet economy gradually becomes one of the pillars of the world economy, surpassing Harvard is just around the corner.
Being able to get Barbara's letter of recommendation and get into Stanford's summer school should not be a big problem.
Zhang Chen sincerely thanked Barbara: "Thank you very much, really, thank you very much, Barbara." “
Seeing Zhang Chen's sincere eyes, Barbara was also a little moved in her heart, being able to help this motivated teenager in a third world country realize part of his dreams and feel the nobility and greatness of the American people, which made Barbara quite relieved and have a sense of accomplishment.
After saying goodbye from Barbara's office, Zhang Chen returned to the Sassoon hair salon with a letter of recommendation. Su Zhuoyuan's hairstyle has been almost done. The long hair with a shawl in the past has become short hair that is just over the ears, and the hair that was originally a little messy has been smoothed and polished, dark and bright. The hair on both sides just covered the side of the ear, making Su Zhuoyuan's already small face look smaller. The bangs in front are arranged into a very smooth arc, and the whole hairstyle looks simple, but every hair stays where it should be, and this detail cannot be done without more than ten years of skill.
