Chapter Seventy-Nine: Apprenticeship
After spending the weekend at home, Mu Mengling took his bag and returned to school.
took out the food that Mu Ma stuffed in her bag, and beckoned Lin Xiao and others to eat, Mu Mengling took out her mobile phone and contacted Chen Kai.
"Hello Mr. Chen, I'm sorry to disturb you at this time." Mu Mengling apologized first, and at six o'clock, the law firm was off work.
"It's fine. Miss Mu called me at this time, did she want to tell me the result. Chen Kai didn't mind at all, but Mu Mengling's apology made him feel that this person was more humble.
"Yes. I just went home this week and asked my family for advice, and I think the contract period should be written for three years first. After graduation, we give both parties another chance to choose. That's probably it, when you change the contract, we'll make an appointment to sign it, okay? "This is the result of discussions with Mu Dad and Mu Mengze.
Chen Kai responded happily: "Okay, then I'll contact you after I change the contract." ”
"Good. That doesn't bother me, goodbye. After Mu Mengling finished the call, he stood on the balcony and looked at the lights of the dormitory opposite, and said to himself in his heart, Mu Mengling, this life is different, you have to work hard, so that your parents can be proud of you in the future, you must work hard, you must.
"It's still blowing outside, come in." Lin Xiao's voice came out of the dormitory.
"Okay, come on." Mu Mengling put away his thoughts, opened the door and entered the dormitory.
Chen Kai's work efficiency was very fast, and Mu Mengling received a call from him the next morning, saying that he would see him in the old time in the afternoon.
After class in the afternoon, Tuo Linxiao took the book back to the dormitory, and Mu Mengling set off with his bag to the café.
After meeting with Chen Kai and getting a new contract, Mu Mengling took a closer look again.
"How? Still have questions? Chen Kai asked officially.
"yes, that's fine." Mu Mengling opened the contract, took the pen handed by Chen Kai, and signed his name where Party B was in the two contracts.
Close the contract and push the pen and contract back to Chen Kai.
Chen Kai checked it carefully, "It's okay." This copy is yours, please keep it. He put one of the contracts in front of Mu Mengling's eyes.
"Okay." Mu Mengling solemnly put it in his bag.
"It's a pleasure to work with." Chen Kai stretched out his right hand.
Mu Mengling got up and held it, and smiled slightly: "Happy cooperation." ”
After the contract was finalized, Mu Mengling calmed down and thought about the work to be completed this month.
She knew what she was worth, so she decided to visit the old lady on Saturday. If possible, she wanted to see if the old lady could accept her as a halfway apprentice.
Just do it, Mu Mengling set up a schedule on her mobile phone, and from Tuesday to Friday, she also adhered to the principle that knowledge is power and worked hard to learn professional courses.
On Saturday morning, Mu Mengling packed up his things, left the dormitory, and went to the old lady's residence.
Took a taxi at the school gate and reported the address on the business card, Mu Mengling leaned on the back seat and thought about what he should say when he saw the old lady, and how to let the old lady take him as an apprentice.
"Here, fifteen in all." The driver's voice brought Mu Mengling back to his senses.
After paying the fare, Mu Mengling got out of the car only to find that this was a villa area located in the suburbs. Villas of all kinds stand on both sides of the road, planted with banyan trees on both sides, and although it is early winter, its fertile and wide leaves are still dark green in the winter sun.
Pressing the house number on the business card, Mu Mengling rang the doorbell of a villa.
"Who?" A video installation in front of the door was heard for questioning.
"Hello, my name is Mu Mengling, and I came to find Li Xiangrong, Mrs. Li." Mu Mengling leaned closer to the microphone and said what he meant.
"Wait a minute."
After about a minute, the iron door opened with a "click".
Mu Mengling walked straight in, with all kinds of bonsai on both sides, and a flat cement road in the middle, extending to the end of the fountain. Walk around the fountain and walk a little further to the front door of the villa.
At this time, the door was opened, and there stood an old man in a tuxedo, about sixty years old, with some silver strands in his hair, a straight face, and bright eyes looking at Mu Mengling.
"Miss Mu, please come here." The old man was in front and walked in with Mu Mengling.
Mu Mengling followed the old man into the hall.
The hall is very large, the first floor is connected to the second floor, a large crystal chandelier hangs in the courtyard, and on either side of the hall are two long brown sofas made of cloth, and a seventy-centimeter-high mahogany tea table is placed in between. Directly in front of it is a large wooden cabinet, classical and plain, with some picture frames on it. A large clock hangs on the wall above the wooden cabinet.
Li Xiangrong himself was sitting on the sofa, holding a book in his hand, reading quietly.
When Mu Mengling came in, Li Xiangrong raised her head, a pair of glasses on the bridge of her nose, and two chains hanging around her neck on the side of the frame.
"Here it is, little girl. Come and sit. Li Xiangrong beckoned to Mu Mengling.
Mu Mengling naturally sat opposite Li Xiangrong. The old man who had led the way turned around and came up with two cups of hot tea.
"We met again, isn't it fateful?" Li Xiangrong took off her glasses, still with a kind face.
Mu Mengling didn't know if all people with great achievements would give people a sense of atmosphere and peace, at least the image given to her by the old lady was such a person.
Mu Mengling smiled, "Grandma, no, I should call you old lady, I didn't expect you to be a master of paper-cutting, and you are so famous." Thank you for the contract. After all, the reduction from thirty to ten gave her a lot of time.
Li Xiangrong smiled, stood up and walked out towards the large wooden cabinet, opened the drawer under the wooden cabinet, took an invitation and returned to the sofa.
"Don't rush to thank me, take a look at this first." She handed the invitation in her hand to Mu Mengling's eyes.
Mu Mengling took it, the invitation was made of golden plain paper, the surface was ingeniously round, and in the middle was a red paper-cut peacock picture. When I opened it, it was an invitation to invite Li Xiangrong or his disciples to participate in the paper-cutting competition of country M.
"This is ......," Mu Mengling looked up at Li Xiangrong for some reason.
"Interested in participating?" Li Xiangrong does not beat around the bush.
"Yes, but I'm not your apprentice......" Mu Mengling didn't finish speaking, but she had a faint idea in her heart, could it be that Old Madam Li and herself came for the same purpose, she raised her head quickly, and her apricot eyes were full of expectation.
Li Xiangrong looked at Mu Mengling, who was a little excited on the other side, and smiled more kindly.
"I have a characteristic of this person, I accept apprentices to see fate. We are all so destined, so not accepting you as a disciple is not against my characteristics. So would you like to be my teacher? ”
Mu Mengling was a little excited, when a person's wish came true without warning, his heart was very excited and excited. She nodded deadly, afraid that what was in front of her would be a dream.
Li Xiangrong was also very happy, she stroked the broken hair on her sideburns, "I will find a time for you to meet a few senior brothers and sisters." There are still three months left before the competition, you go and get a passport first, and I will solve the visa matter. In the next three months, I will not take up your study time, as long as you come to study with me on Saturday and Sunday for two days, it is up to you to absorb it. ”
"Okay." Mu Mengling's voice trembled a little, she had always wanted to cut it herself, relying on some fur she had learned in her previous life, it was okay to fool the layman, and if she really met a master like Mrs. Li, it was not enough to see.
Now that she has been taught by Mrs. Li herself, it is natural to make a breakthrough, and Mu Mengling is even more confident in the future.
