Chapter 2: Love Tequila (2)
"Ann, what are you doing?"
It was Marta, an authentic Mexican chick who also studied at this university, and when she saw Xiao An seriously flipping through the atlas, she asked curiously.
"I want to go out and have fun! This exam has not been easy to pass, of course, you have to treat yourself! ”
"Eh, what are you playing, aren't you Chinese known as the most hardworking people in the world? It's better to find a job first! Besides, you can't even speak the local language well, so if you go out alone, you won't be able to fool people? ”
It makes sense, and it's not just a fool, the security here is world-famous, not to mention being deceived, if you really want to run into gangsters, you don't know how you offended them. What's more, it's not like I've never been in contact with gangsters, and I have already had a small experience in Southeast Asia last time, so if they want to do something to you, why do they need any reason.
"But do you think I can go to work when I first arrive in the treasure land?"
Xiao An also felt that he had just found a suitable learning method and should consolidate it a little more, as for playing, he was still looking forward to it and afraid of being hurt. Find a class, not to earn money, at least to help yourself integrate into the life of the locals faster.
"Well, I'm working in a good place right now, and if you pay more attention to the local news, I'm sure you're no stranger to the Barmond family, whose estate is almost all over the country. And I heard that in recent years they have been seeking to open markets outside their own country, as an Asian and Chinese, you should know a lot about Eastern culture, right? It's all in demand for them! ”
Oh, and you know, the Bamond family started out as an agave plantation, paper mill, winery, and countless estates and companies in other parts of Mexico. Not to mention in Mexico City, but in their entire country.
Hearing this, Xiao An said happily, "If I can really work there, of course I can't ask for it!" It's just that the recruitment there must be very strict, right? ”
"Don't worry about this! We're just working there as students, not for a long-term contract. Therefore, as long as there is nothing wrong with your character, then you can basically pass the test. Anyway, we don't plan to do it for long, and it is estimated that it is impossible for people to hand over too important work to us, so you just have to apply for a job with me! ”
If that's the case, I won't have any worries, and I can get back to the feeling of working and studying many years ago.
Marta brought her to the family's paper mill, where she was quickly hired.
The work here is not very tiring, it is to help sort out some copywriting, maybe because there is a record of fatigue before, so it is not a problem for Xiao An to do this at all. And as the days went by, she gradually got started, and she found that working here not only did not affect her learning, but also helped her language learning a lot, Xiao An is very modest and not narrow-minded, so in her spare time, everyone likes to chat with her.
Because it's a paper mill, of course there's a lot of paper here. In order to develop more business and earn profits, the company also supplies a lot of notebooks and other paper products. Xiao An has always liked to accumulate stationery, and this time he saw such a good fine goods, of course he would not let it go. And a little further north, in the country of maple trees, which is a big paper-making country, she thought, buy some here first, and when she has the opportunity, she must go there to buy some more, and see what similarities and differences there are in notebooks all over the world.
So she asked her boss if she could sell her some, even if she didn't need a salary. The boss was happy when he heard it: "We don't have anything else here, but paper is everything, if you like it, take it!" Take as much as you can! ”
"That's not good, boss, you don't know, I use paper very expensive, like fire!"
So in the end, Xiao An still paid some money, and then pulled away all the papers and books with peace of mind.
As a result, the boss just thought she was taking some poop at first, and it turned out that she had to move some after work every day, so it was no wonder that she offered to spend money to buy them. But even so, the boss allowed her to continue like this, anyway, she alone couldn't bring down the entire company.
These products range from printer paper to notebooks and letterheads, but each one bears the logo of the company's paper mill. She especially likes this logo, which is a simple agave pattern, except for some printing paper and picture albums that must only be typed on the packaging, the rest are like some notes and letterheads, and the lower right corner of each page is printed with such a touch of green, which makes Xiao An very happy when he sees it.
Speaking of this Chinese employee, the boss's impression of her is still very good, with the diligence of ordinary Chinese, but without the criticism of some people. I don't know if I didn't go abroad, in the past, Xiao An only listened to those things as stories, and even if he went abroad, if he only traveled instead of going deep into the local area, he still couldn't really understand the feelings and views of the local people about the Chinese. She has never understood why so many countries have a big opinion of their compatriots, is there nothing wrong with them? After I came, I realized that people really didn't wronged us, not to mention that I was guarded by everyone when I first arrived at the paper mill, but after living here for a while, Xiao An met several Chinese merchants, and even she couldn't bear it because of the overly budget-conscious energy. It's not to blame others for picking on it. It's like two people who quarrel, one of them is not right, but the other is not necessarily better. It must be that both of them have done things that have exceeded each other's limits, otherwise there would be no disagreement.
However, Xiao An is still very confident in himself and his compatriots. Even a saint may make mistakes, not to mention so many of us who are not saints.
So after adjusting his mentality, Xiao An lived every day to the fullest. In addition to stockpiling these lovely stationery, she also enjoys collecting cigarettes and alcohol, especially the tequila produced by the company, just collecting, collecting them as cultural and artistic works, rather than enjoying using them.
When he returned to his residence after work that day, Xiao An poured a cup of agave. I didn't drink it, I just admired the amber liquid in the glass, or calm or rippling, so the more I looked at it, the more interesting it became, the more fascinated I became, and on a whim, the more I held the glass, the more I shook it, and as a result, I accidentally spilled the wine on the newly bought notebook.
Woo, it's heart-wrenching, although the boss gave me a lot of such notebooks, but after all, this is the fruit of many people's labor, and the hard work is condensed.
Xiao An hurriedly cleaned up, but found that while removing the wine glass, there were actually two people dancing in the rippling wine in the glass. At first she thought she had seen the flowers, but then she looked closely, yes, but when the glass of wine was flattened, the two dancers also disappeared with the calm of the liquid.
How can anyone dance in a wine glass? Xiao Anhu was suspicious, and continued to pack up the notebook that was wet with wine, and to her surprise, the pattern of the two people dancing just now suddenly appeared on the notebook, she turned a few pages one after another, and the pattern on each page seemed to be different, as if telling a story, as if acting in a movie. It's just that because I was anxious just now, it was a tissue and a hair dryer, and it dried up after a while, and those images disappeared after a while.
This is interesting, is it not to sprinkle some more, and there will be these strange scenes?
Xiao An was urged by curiosity, and poured some more wine on the notebook, and those "movies" were really played again, but the image was not very clear, so what kind of story this was, Xiao An didn't understand too much. But she was already fascinated by it, vowing to find out how "movie playback" worked.
Interesting, is this a new development of the company? The packaging and instructions don't say that there will be these functions, right? Is it the same with other people's?
Xiao An felt that this matter should not be so simple, if it was so, it would definitely make a big fuss in the advertisement, and such an attractive Dongdong must be sold at a good price. Xiao An even wished to fly to the company now and experiment with other products.
But at this time, it is definitely not possible to go, I am not a regular employee, I should go back early after work, and I don't need to stay up late to fight for my work, at this time, it is easy to be misunderstood by people with ulterior motives.
What to do? Curiosity simply can't be calmed.
Pregnant!
Xiao An suddenly thought of supermarkets and stationery stores, where there might be company products. So she quickly appeared there, and soon returned to her lodgings.
When she returned, she couldn't wait to open it for experimentation, but to her disappointment, after the paper and notebook fused with the wine, nothing happened, only a circle of soaked marks. Xiao An wiped the notebooks clean and hung them on the windowsill, and then continued to think about the strange phenomenon that had just happened.
What kind of chemistry is this? What's the difference between these papers? Xiao An spread out the ones he took in the company before getting off work and the ones he had just bought back from outside, and he looked at them with the naked eyes for a long time and found that there were any clues hidden.
She decided to find someone to study it tomorrow when she went to school.
