65. New skills
A month and a half later, on a weekday afternoon, Manager Liu of the production department of Sanmu Paper drove Gu Yifang and Miss Ma to Xujiawan, the bustling southwest business center of Yinhai City.
When he arrived in Xujiawan, he saw a long line of traffic circling by, shouting "fatal", Miss Ma took out her sunglasses, put them on neatly, and asked Manager Liu to find a place to pull over, Manager Liu said tremblingly: "Or I'll find a parking space, you drive too wild, what if you park and have a car accident." β
"Don't be verbose." Miss Ma kicked the back of Manager Liu's driver's seat, Manager Liu had no choice but to pull over, Miss Ma rolled up her sleeves and got into the driver's seat, Manager Liu sat in the passenger seat and read: "Miss Ma, you don't want to read me as old and young, but don't freak out Xiao Gu, it's the first time people take your car...... Ouch ......"
Even though it is a busy city center, Miss Ma does not change her domineering style, the accelerator is stepped on, and the steering wheel is quickly and hatefully twisted into the lane where Manager Liu's ink has not been inserted for half a day, causing a burst of horns in the back, Miss Ma did not pay attention to it at all, saw the stitches and needles swirling left and right, and penetrated into the digital mall in ten minutes, and found a parking space.
The underground garage can no longer be parked, so it has to be parked in the above-ground part of the assistant management staff, and it is also thanks to Miss Ma's eyes that she quickly grabbed the parking space. β
Walking into the eye-catching AL* store on the first floor, a handsome sales guy greeted him and began to inquire about the purchase needs of the three of them.
Gu Yifang's new task at the beginning of the year is to learn printing and typesetting.
And after more than a month, she has learned.
EPP book covers need to be sent out for printing, and the previous process was that the brand sent the cover design CD, and then Miss Ma and Boss Lin calculated the best typesetting scheme according to the demand for each color. Each cover of the EPP is usually printed in two to four color combinations.
After finalizing the typesetting plan, it is to contact the printing company to go to the computer to typeset the film, print the sample cover, and send it to foreign countries for signature and confirmation.
Last year, the business volume expanded, and the typesetting cost spent in the printing company alone was nearly 100,000 yuan. It doesn't count the money spent, and it often makes mistakes. The reason for the error is also due to the fact that the printing company is responsible for the typesetting personnel, there are many projects in their hands, either the conversion format is not standardized, or the layer forgets to lock the whole lock, and the pattern is missing when dragging.
Quarreled over this matter, slapped the table, the printing company sales Xiaomo was scolded bloody, but still can't avoid these mistakes, Xiaomo often says that time is tight, but the three working days given by Sanmu Paper are not in a hurry, such a simple typesetting, half a day can be completed.
In the end, the boss of the printing company came forward and expressed his willingness to let his designers teach the people of Sanmu Paper to typeset, and he was not happy to earn the 100,000 yuan, so he earned some money for film and printing proofing fees.
The boss of the printing company and Boss Lin are old friends in the shopping mall, and Boss Lin saw that the other party was so on the road, so he reciprocated the favor and raised the printing film to a higher level.
Once the solution is decided, it's a matter of who to send. Looking at the whole company, the one who can be sent out to learn is Gu Yifang. Therefore, she was assigned this glorious task, and Boss Lin gave her a month to study, and learned to directly raise her salary by 1,000 yuan.
The salary of 3,000 yuan, excluding the disadvantage of single holidays, also caught up with the starting salary of college graduates in Yinhai City that year.
The remuneration is exciting, but learning new skills makes Gu Yifang's heart beat the drum, in the mouth of Boss Lin, typesetting is very easy, the cover design she gets, as long as the fixed size is cut out on the computer, and then according to the prescribed printing ratio, typesetting out, and then adding cutting marks to the margins.
At that time, in China, the typesetting software used for such large-scale printing was foreign, and the genuine version was only in foreign languages, not Chinese. The first time Gu Yifang saw these dense tadpole menus and the long toolbars on the left and right, he felt that his head was about to explode.
Fortunately, there are not many functions used in typesetting, that is, the layer is unlocked, the mask is added, the coordinates are moved and arranged, and the lines are added.
The next week was consolidated, the remaining two weeks were mastered, and a month later, the first finished product was handed over. The joy of learning is to make Gu Yifang feel an unprecedented sense of steadiness in his heart.
After she returned to the company, Boss Lin immediately raised her salary and approved the budget to buy a special computer AL for design.
Different from the MC computer that the mainstream public is using,AL from hardware to software are exclusively produced,AL is most praised for its powerful image color processing function,Professional design and typesetting are almost inseparable from AL,Even if MC is the most high-end configuration,It is difficult to surpass AL's mid-range machineγ
But the so-called AL mid-range machine, the price of just one host will cost fifteen thousand, and Manager Liu kept muttering on the side: "Good girl, so expensive." Miss Ma rolled her eyes.
In the end, the business was happily negotiated in the exchange of famous brands between the handsome guy and Miss Ma, and Manager Liu was called to accompany him, so he naturally worked as a coolie to move the chassis.
"How's it going? It seems to be going well~" As usual, it was the chat time of honey friends, just a hello, Zhang Jiawei could hear Gu Yifang's happiness.
"Report to Jiawei, it's very smooth, I have to invite you to dinner." Gu Yifang couldn't help laughing, this month's efforts were not in vain, because the printing company was far away, she had to go out an hour earlier than now every day, and she had to go home an hour later, during which she and Gu's mother were not together for dinner.
Every day I am so tired that I don't want to talk when I get home, and it's impossible to go to the Internet cafΓ© after dinner to surf the Internet, and I can't go to the Internet during the day, and I have to go to the company on Saturday to deal with the purchase orders that have piled up for a week, so that I have less time to read books, and I can only soak in the library on Sundays, and I don't have time to pay attention to the national wind club.
However, during the Spring Festival, although Gu's mother kept nagging and urging her to agree to the blind date, Gu Fang still took the time to densely list the plan of the National Style Spring Festival Gala program, and seized the time to sort it out after the Spring Festival and handed it over to the coolie group of the National Wind Society.
Zhang Jiawei listened to Gu Yifang's fulfilling life during this period of time, and couldn't help but worry: "By the way, you plan to take four exams this time, will it be too much?" Don't wear yourself out. β
Gu Yifang said: "Don't worry, one of these four courses is actually a practical test, that is, one is split into two exams, and there is only one book to memorize." β
Zhang Jiawei nodded and said, "How many are there?" I feel like you've already done quite a bit. β
Gu Yifang said: "How can there be, there were only four courses last year, if I take the English test, it will be sixteen, if I can't take the English test, I have to take three more tests, that is, eighteen, this year I plan to take eight subjects, and in the second half of the year, there is one subject that is split into two, in fact, it is just six subjects." β
Zhang Jiawei sighed: "It's not easy, don't be tired of yourself." β
Gu Fangdao said with a smile: "In order to be able to graduate with you, in fact, the most tiring thing is to go to work, three hours back and forth every day, when I get home, I am really stupid." β
Zhang Jiawei sighed and said: "Alas, people used to say that reading was fun, but I didn't think it, but now I know how stupid I am, and we will start to collect bones after the exam at the end of June." β
Collecting bones is a common saying in Yinhai City, which means to collect the heart and do serious things, which is usually the same as "the good days are over".
Gu Yifang comforted Zhang Jiawei a few words, the two said goodbye to each other, although the rush was tired, there was also an unexpected harvest, the printing company was in the garden villa area on the edge of the suburban botanical garden, the scenery was pleasant, especially at the beginning of the new year, the flower letter order opened, a tree was beautiful, so that Gu Yifang relaxed and walked at noon, and put out a poem.
