Chapter 48 Receiving Salaries and Repaying Debts
Although Steven has a strange temper, he will never make a fuss, Yang Qianye immediately realized that he must have made a mistake, so he decided to take the initiative to apologize first and then listen carefully.
"I'm sorry Director, I made another mistake, please criticize and correct."
"It's quick to misrecognize, and repeat offenders are like that. I ask you, is this thing Joey asking you to fight? β
"Yes."
"Do you think it's a thing?" Steven turned the computer screen towards her.
She stood still, her neck craned, carefully comparing the pictures on the computer with the manuscript.
"Come closer, I didn't let you measure your eyesight."
She took another step forward and pressed her face in front of the screen. "It's the same." The voice trembled a little.
"Why does the company always recruit people like you, who don't let go of their work, and wait for their wages all day long." Steven quipped, "Oh yes, it seems like it's today, no wonder it's red-faced." β
"I'm sorry ......"
"People who say sorry don't think that way in their hearts. I'm very busy at work, and I don't have time to pay for your negligence. β
"Yes, I feel bad about repeatedly causing trouble to the director. I haven't done it before, and I haven't learned it, but I know it's not an excuse. I'm really willing to learn by doing to keep up with everyone's pace as soon as possible, and I have bought a lot of books on this subject in private, hoping that diligence can make up for it. Director, please help me point out any problems with this draft, and I will humbly accept timely revisions. Please. β
Perhaps it was humility that played a role, and Steven put away half of his anger.
"Lipstick?" He asked suddenly.
"Huh?"
"Do you usually wear lipstick?"
She shook her head sheepishly. "I don't wear makeup."
"No wonder I don't know what a color number is."
"Shade?"
Steven got up and rummaged through the filing cabinet, quickly pulling out a black gift box from underneath and opening it full of lipstick.
Twist the tube casually, and the bright paste is revealed.
"What color is this?"
"Red."
She thinks that kindergarten children can also answer this question, but it seems a bit stupid to honestly say the answer at this moment.
"No, I'll tell you." Steven didn't mean to tease her, and explained in a loud voice, "As far as this box of lipsticks is concerned, it includes rose, pink, orange, nude, and so on. Further down, different colors have different color numbers, 200B, 375B, 146B, 232M, 292N, 353M, 170N......"
When he introduced which color number, he twisted out the corresponding lipstick, and the speed was so fast and accurate that Yang Qianye was really dumbfounded.
"Know PMS? The full name of PMS is Pantone matching system, which is a color communication system covering various fields including textile, drawing, plastic, digital, etc., and is also an international color standard language. The green on the file and the green on the print look the same as it may seem to you, but I can tell you with certainty that they are two colors entirely. β
Hearing this, she seemed to understand what was wrong.
"But the printer won't change the color, why is there a color difference?" She asked, tilting her head.
Steven calmed down at this question, but she didn't expect her to understand it at all.
He slowly took out a small tin box from his coat pocket and took a mint pill in his mouth.
"The color mode of the monitor is RGB, but the printer is CMYK, and the color gamut is much smaller than RGB. Often, a visual chromatic aberration does not mean that there is a problem with the printing, but that the color displayed by the monitor is off. This requires color correction when making design, as long as the color number is clear, no matter how much deviation is displayed, the printing effect is constant. However, printers can sometimes have problems, and the cartridges, nozzles, paper quality, and thickness are all related to the final color. β
This obscure professional explanation, although Chiba didn't fully understand, knew what was wrong. At the same time, she was completely impressed by Steven's professionalism and admired it so much.
"I see, Joey had proofread the monitor before designing, so the problem was with the printer."
"That's why I'm looking for you, Joey is the computer side, you are the print side, and the responsibilities are clear. Do you see the difference between the two colors now? β
"Still not ......," she shook her head, ashamed, "but I know what the problem is." β
"It takes a lot of mental effort and time for a designer to complete a design, and I don't want the work we've worked so hard to create with a little assistant. The customer is God, and their insight is always better than ours, and we can't leave it to chance. β
Steven walked over to the bookcase again, picked out a book and threw it into her arms, "If you want to learn this stuff and make yourself look less good, this should be the right fit." β
"Thank you, thank you, Superintendent. I'll check the printer right away and send it in again. β
"Go ahead."
After that, Steven buried herself in work again, and she didn't delay, and went straight to the printing room as soon as she left the office.
By the time the new manuscript was handed in, Steven had already left the office, and he loved photography and often went out with his camera on his back in search of inspiration, which is well known in the company.
She cautiously placed the new manuscript on the table, and suddenly found that she seemed to be able to distinguish the difference between the two colors with the naked eye, and she was very excitedβall thanks to Steven's "impersonal" guidance.
After getting off work, I went to Sakura Apartment first as planned. Lin Guang is the only one in the sentry box, and she is not a tenant now, so she can't directly enter the community to look for Da Mao.
"Hello, please open the door for me......"
Lin Guang glanced at her and recognized her.
"Please swipe the access control, I can't open it on my behalf."
"I'm sorry I don't have a card, but I've lived here before and I've seen you, so you probably don't remember."
Lin Guang put away his humble attitude towards the owner, and turned to rudely reprimanded: "Why don't you say so much, this is a high-end community, and it won't be messy to let people in and out casually." Which one can you find to help you contact, the owner agrees, and I will open it for you. β
"I'm not looking for the owner, I'm looking for Luo Damao."
"Luo Damao is not here."
"Then can you please help me breathe."
"If you don't say it, what do you say." Lin Guang tilted his head.
The excitement of coming to repay the money was suddenly diluted by this cold attitude.
"He told me that he was in the housekeeper center when he wasn't at the sentry box, and he stayed in the community even if he didn't go to work."
"He didn't tell me...... Who are you? β
"Friend, I met him when I lived here."
"Friends? What friends, boyfriends and girlfriends? β
"No, you misunderstood, it's just an ordinary friend."
"Now everyone who is familiar with each other or has spoken with each other calls each other friends, and then it is a matter of opening their mouths to borrow money and the like, and it is not good for me to open the door for you without asking clearly. Luo Damao is very honest, sometimes he is quite stupid, and he doesn't know if he is calculated. I often tell him that things are like people, people are grouped, don't go to the landlord and tenant all day long, and those who live in this kind of mansion will not take ordinary security guards seriously. That's the truth, you say? β
She heard that these words were clearly aimed at her, and she didn't have much to say, so she had to turn around and go to the gym first, thinking about waiting for the shift to be handed over in the evening.
When she came to the gym, she always thought of Song Yingchen, who hadn't been there for several days, which made her a little disappointed. But Lu Meiqin's greetings are always reminded in her ears, just like Lin Guang said, things gather people in groups, she and Song Yingchen are basically people from two worlds.
After a moment of closing time, after the last guest had left, she walked towards Sakura Apartment again.
When she was about to reach the door of the apartment, a car drove away from the exit of the underground garage, and at the moment when she unintentionally looked up, she saw that the driver sitting in the driver's seat was very familiar, like Lu Meiqin. But this is nothing strange, the house is owned by others, and now it is not lived, and it is normal for the landlord to come in and out.
Da Mao was really on duty at the sentry box, and he saw that she was still smiling brightly.
"Da Mao, give, thank you." She handed over an envelope, and when she touched it, there was a thick wad of banknotes.
"Payroll?"
She nodded.
"There's no hurry."
"I'm in a hurry, I should have paid it back after borrowing it for so long."
"Do you still have any spare flowers?"
"Yes, don't worry, it's better to start receiving your salary."
"Your income is pretty good now, I don't think the gym should be done, don't be so tired."
"Gotta do it, the gym salary is still quite important to me. And then there's where I live now, and although I say it's a vigil, I don't have to pay rent, so I can save a lot. If you don't do it, where you live will be a problem again. β
"Your mother will be distressed to know that you are working so hard."
"If only she knew."
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Da Mao showed an apologetic expression.
"What's the matter with your hand?"
She found that Da Mao's elbow socket was a little red and swollen, and wanted to grab it, but Da Mao quickly retracted.
"Mosquito bites, I like to scratch, that's it."
She handed over the plastic bag in her hand, showed her eight teeth and smiled: "That's really the right buy, give it." β
"What is this?" Da Mao opened the bag, and there was a bottle of toilet water and a mosquito killer inside.
"You often hang around the community, and there are many mosquitoes in places with a lot of greenery, so you won't attract mosquitoes if you rub a little on your body."
Da Mao pretended to be calm, but his heart was already happy.
"Thank you, Chiba."
"You're welcome." She smiled and looked at the gym, "It's not early, I'm over, and I haven't cleaned it yet." β
"Chiba!"
Turning around, a light breeze blows, and the bangs sweep the eyelashes.
"What?"
There was a gurgling sound of swallowing saliva in Da Mao's throat.
"Good night."
"Good night."
A thousand words turned into two of the most simple words, which is the voice of the heart and inferiority. Watching Yang Qianye after being debt-free and light up and down towards the gym, Da Mao felt that everything was worth it.
No one knew that he secretly went to sell blood in order to repay Lin Guang's money.
There are often blood dealers reselling blood at the entrance of the Lucheng Red Cross Center Blood Station and the First People's Hospital, who take advantage of the blood shortage in the regular blood bank to start underground transactions, buying at low prices and selling at high prices. He sold 200cc each time three times, and received a total of 1,200 yuan, but the blood dealer turned around and sold it at a high price of 1,000 yuan per 200cc.
This fat guy who is also inferior and ready to move fell into an unrequited love that he couldn't extricate himself from, but unfortunately, Yang Qianye didn't notice it at all.
