Chapter 69: My Sister's First Gift
"What? you're not kidding, are you?" Wu Mian looked shocked and almost jumped.
"I brought you here on purpose, like I'm joking with you?" said Shallow Rou seriously, "This brand is very famous, you can pick a set of your favorites." ”
At this time, the two were on the eighteenth floor of the Zhuzhou International Mall, standing at the door of a brand-name suit store. The store is full of suits of various styles, and there is a poster of a famous male movie star on the wall.
"Didn't you say it sooner...... Alas, it's all because I didn't tell you, I've never worn a suit, and I've never worn it once in my life!" Wu Mian said with frustration.
"I know. When you were chatting with Xiao Shen once, I happened to hear it. You say it's too restrictive to wear a suit, and it's even more annoying to wear a tie, because that feeling is like being locked in your throat, which is very unaccustomed. ”
"I'm dizzy, do you know that you deliberately tricked me?" Wu Mian laughed.
"Hey, didn't you say that as long as it's a gift from your sister, you'll definitely like it, and you'll be super happy?" said with a gentle smile, "Talk to the point, in the future, you will not only wear a suit, but also 'take it with you every day'!"
"Ahh......h I still have an interview, go first......"
"If you leave, don't call me sister in the future. Light Rou Zhengse said, although the voice was very soft, but it really had a kind of majesty of an older sister to a younger brother.
Wu Mian had an expression of fainting, and said with a bitter face: "This is not called a reward, it is almost the same as a punishment." Why do you have to force me to wear a suit? I'm not an official or entrepreneur, and I wear a straight suit on TV every day! As a reporter who runs the news, do I need to wear such a formal outfit?"
"You are no ordinary front-line reporter now, you are the head of the press of this newspaper, and to some extent represent the image of this newspaper. And on some important occasions, formal attire is required to attend. If you put on your jeans and sneakers like this, you'll be left out. ”
Wu Mian knew that what Qianrou said was the truth, sighed helplessly, and muttered: "Then you don't need to 'wear it every day'......"
"Okay, okay, it's okay not to wear it every day, but at least you should buy a set and keep it at home, just in case." You can still dress casually and wear a suit when you need to. The shallow and soft tone was like coaxing a beloved little brother, both soft and hard persuasion and order, and Wu Mian was pulled into the store without saying anything.
The salesman greeted him with a smile on his face and enthusiastically recommended various styles of suits to the two. Wu Mian looked at it, the cheapest ones cost 10,000 yuan, and the expensive ones were even 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. He shook his head as he watched, although he was now a multimillionaire, he still felt that there was no need to spend so much money on clothes, and he usually felt very luxurious to spend a thousand yuan at most.
Qian Rou saw his thoughts, smiled slightly, and personally picked out a dark striped suit with a snow-white shirt, and asked Wu Mian to put it on and try it.
Wu Mian had no choice but to walk into the locker room, reluctantly changed into this whole suit, and after grinding for a long time, he walked out uncomfortably.
Her eyes lit up, she looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "How does it feel?"
"It's ok. Belch...... It's just awkward. Wu Mian said at a loss, "It looks ...... Isn't it ugly?"
"How so, see for yourself!" Shallow Rou nudged Wu Mian, making him turn to face the fitting mirror next to him.
Wu Mian glanced at it not very confidently, and saw that he in the mirror did not seem to be as bad as he imagined. He looked around for a moment, thinking that a famous brand is indeed a famous brand, and when he put it on, he immediately made himself look polite, and it seemed to add a bit of the demeanor of a successful man.
"Come, I'll help you tie your tie. Qianrou had already picked out a light blue tie, walked to Wu Mian, stood on tiptoe slightly, and carefully tied it for him.
Her expression was very focused, constantly adjusting the position and size of the bow tie as she tied it, paying attention to whether it was too tight to make Wu Mian uncomfortable, but not too "loose". After adjusting it several times, I found the most suitable position and fixed it.
In the process, the distance between the two is very close. Wu Mian used a lot of perseverance to restrain himself at first, so that he didn't stare at the towering chest that was close at hand, but he could smell the faint fragrance of her hair and feel the fine breath of her breathing, which made him can't help but beat his heart faster, and he wanted to reach out and hug her several times.
However, later, when Wu Mian's eyes looked at the shallow pink face, her serious and gentle expression unconsciously moved him, causing a strange warm current to surge all over his body. Gradually, he couldn't help but feel that he was being taken care of by his "sister", and his heart was very warm.
In addition to being taken care of by an orphanage aunt when he was a child, there has never been a girl who has reached out to tidy up his clothes for him! That kind of intimate gentleness made Wu Mian deeply intoxicated and enjoyed, and even suddenly felt that it was not a hard thing to have his neck strangled by a tie, as long as Qianrou tidied herself up like this every day, even if it was shackled, it was not a big deal.
After tying her tie, Qianrou took two steps back, stared at Wu Mian quietly, and didn't speak for a long time.
Wu Mian also looked at the mirror again, turned left and right, although he still felt a little restrained, but he had to admit that his soft vision and aesthetic ability were impeccable, and the whole costume was as if it was tailor-made, and there was no need to do any processing and modification at all.
"Okay, just buy it. He said with a shrug.
Qianrou seemed to be in a daze, but she didn't hear Wu Mian's words, she looked at him blankly, there was a confused and complicated look in her eyes, and when he repeated it again, she suddenly woke up, and said with a slightly red face: "Okay." Then I'll pay. ”
"No, I'll pay for it myself. ”
"No, this is my gift for you, yes!"
"Why are you embarrassed to give such an expensive gift!" Wu Mian looked at the label and said, "It adds up to more than 30,000 yuan." ”
"I force you to give you a gift, of course, I pay. Qianrou stopped Wu Mian's arm to take the wallet and insisted, "It's not easy for you to make some money, so don't be polite to me." ”
In front of the salesman and other customers, Wu Mian didn't want to pull the argument, so he let Qianrou pay with a credit card, and then the salesperson put the old clothes into a bag, carried them in his hands and left the international mall together.
"Sister, why don't we all pay half. After getting in the car, Wu Mian said earnestly again, "Actually, it is not easy for you to be compared to me, there are more places to use money in the future, and the salary expenses alone are enough for you!"
"Salary expenses? No, Editor Ma resigned, and there was one less person, and the expenses were reduced. Shallow Rou said casually.
Wu Mian drove the car out of the garage and said, "Have you forgotten Xiao Shen?" She is doing a good job, she should be promoted to a regular reporter, and the basic salary should be increased by at least 1,000." ”
"No problem. Qianrou agreed, "I think it's okay to add 1,005, you can grasp it." That's not a lot of money. ”
"I'm not done yet. At the moment we are severely understaffed and it is necessary to recruit some more personnel. I've talked to two of my peers and they're willing to make the move. ”
"Really? That's good. Was it the colleague who helped you write the manuscript yesterday?"
Wu Mian was taken aback: "How do you know that they helped me write the manuscript yesterday?"
Qian Rou said with a smile: "You attended three events by yourself yesterday, how can it be possible to finish all the manuscripts in such a short time? There must be someone else helping you." ”
Wu Mian cheekily said: "I have a lot of skills for finishing the manuscript quickly! Don't forget that in the last interview with Pan Jiaqiang, I performed a 'magic speed'." ”
"This time is different. "I read the manuscript, and only the one that wrote about the flea market was your usual style. The style of the article exposing Zhuzhou real estate is very delicate, and it is obviously written by a female reporter. The other one is stable and old-fashioned, and your style is completely different, and it should be written by an old reporter. ”
"Wow, my sister is really discerning!" Wu Mian raised his right hand in admiration and gave him a thumbs up. Although he knew that Qianrou was particularly sensitive to words, and it was not surprising that he could be keenly aware of the differences, it was quite remarkable that he could even guess the gender and age of the two writing colleagues.
He briefly introduced the situation of He Mei and Niu Qin, admitted frankly that he "cut first and then play", and promised to give them a higher salary after digging these two people, and then offered to cut their wages by half and use the difference to make up for these two.
Qian Rou was quite moved when she heard it: "No need, your salary will be taken as it is." In fact, I had long wanted to recruit more reporters and editors, but I couldn't find a suitable one. You poached two experienced peers to join as soon as you came out, and I should reward you again!"
"Really? Great, what will be rewarded this time?" Wu Mian had an exaggerated expression of joy.
Qianrou pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "Do you want another suit?"
"Excuse me, when I didn't say it. Wu Mian rolled his eyes and fainted.
Both of them couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere in the car was very warm and harmonious, as if the distance between them had narrowed a lot.
At this time, Qian's mobile phone rang, and it was Duan Yu calling. She answered a few words, showed joy and said "Great".
After putting down the phone, she happily told Wu Mian that Duan Yu had a smooth negotiation with the customer in Haizhou City, and it was estimated that he could bring in 500,000 yuan in advertising, and the contract would be officially signed the day after tomorrow. In addition, Dongjiang Automobile Group, another major customer he had been trying to contact before, had been cold in response, but today he suddenly changed his attitude for the first time and expressed his willingness to cooperate for a long time.
"With this money, even if our finances are slowed down, it will be no problem to hire two or three more people. Qianrou said happily, "So, Xiao Wu, you really don't have to think too much, just concentrate on doing a good job of news reporting." Money, let Duan Yu worry about it. ”
Wu Mian agreed casually, but he smiled dumbly in his heart, thinking if there was a mistake, 500,000 yuan would be happy like this, if I brought out 5 million, would you be so happy that you would make a promise to me, sister?
But what Qianrou said next made Wu Mian stunned, a little unbelieving his ears.
