Chapter 201: Can You Be Realistic?
After returning home, Lin Yao excitedly opened the gift that Bai Lihong gave her, and when she saw clearly what was inside, she was stunned.
It was a pair of insoles, half a pair of insoles to be exact, and when wearing high heels, the insoles were only half the size of the sole of the foot.
Lin Yao took a look, the size was correct, the question was, why did Bai Lihong give her an insoles?
Lin Yao almost doesn't wear high heels, as a bus family, how could she wear high heels to chase the bus? What's more, she still lives on the top floor!
These are not the point, the point is to send insoles at Christmas, is there any special meaning?
Lin Yao felt that she might have seen too little, so she couldn't think of a reason, so she called Jiang Mingshu.
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Mingshu's voice was a little lazy, "Hey~?" What are you doing~? ”
It could be heard from the tone of her voice that she was in a good mood at this time.
A faint smile appeared on Lin Yao's lips, "Don't do anything, I'm just reporting to you that I'm going back to China." ”
"Oh oh oh!" Jiang Mingshu then remembered the fact that Lin Yao went to Dubai a few days ago, "Oops, you're finally back!" So what, is Dubai fun? How luxurious are 7 star hotels? Have you met the Prince of Dubai? Handsome or not? ”
People who don't know listen to Jiang Mingshu's tone, and think that Lin Yao went to Dubai for a state visit, otherwise how could he be a seven-star hotel as soon as he opened his mouth, the prince of Dubai......
However, by mistake, she really saw the prince himself.
Thinking of this, Lin Yao couldn't help but smile, "You asked so many questions at once, where should I start answering?" ”
"Answer one by one~." Jiang Mingshu urged: "Hey~ah~, you hurry up~, tell me about it~!" ”
Lin Yao said succinctly: "Dubai is very fun, I heard the tour guide say that the seven-star hotel is really luxurious, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to go in and have a look, I saw the prince, it was really handsome!" ”
"And then, huh?" Jiang Mingshu suddenly reacted and said in disbelief: "You really saw the prince?" In the newspapers? ”
Lin Yao's tone was a little excited, "Not only in the newspaper, but also in real people." ”
Jiang Mingshu was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing, "Lin Yao, this joke is not funny at all. ”
Lin Yao smiled but said nothing.
Jiang Mingshu questioned: "The prince is not a welcome, you can see it as soon as you pass by?" ”
"I said I saw it, but you don't believe it, so why are you still asking me?" Lin Yao knew that she wouldn't believe it, and she didn't care if she believed it or not, "Actually, when you get to Dubai, it's hard to see the prince if you don't want to, after all, there are many large photos of him, which occupy the entire exterior wall." ”
It's a pity that her eyesight is not very good, otherwise she would have recognized the prince at a glance, but even if she did, what was the use?
Jiang Mingshu imagined that picture for a moment and said with a smile: "I'll go, make such an exaggeration!" ”
Lin Yao said lightly: "The prince also came to the exhibition, and he personally cut the ribbon at the opening ceremony, probably to attract traffic to this exhibition." ”
Jiang Mingshu exclaimed, "Wow--- you still participated in the opening ceremony?" Tell me what it's like to go to the opening ceremony with the prince here. ”
Lin Yao said calmly: "The person who went to attend the opening ceremony was Lin Yun, and I stayed at the booth. ”
Jiang Mingshu was a little incredulous, "The prince is not there, doesn't it have nothing to do with you?" ”
"Of course it has nothing to do with me!" Lin Yao said with a smile: "I'm not a big person, I'm just one of thousands of exhibitors, just a small minion, is it possible to have to meet the prince in person?" ”
"That's just as well." Jiang Mingshu also felt funny when she thought about it, and her tone was not without fascination, "But he is a prince, the most handsome prince in the world in the legend!" ”
The Prince of Dubai is of course very handsome, but in Lin Yao's opinion, the reason why he is so sought after is mainly because of his status as the crown prince and his high worth, rather than his looks or talent.
And Jiang Mingshu opens his mouth and closes his mouth The most handsome prince may be related to the fact that there are more or less princely plots in every girl's heart, especially in a country like Huaguo, where a creature like a prince has long perished, so a girl like Jiang Mingshu will be extremely rare for princes from other countries.
It's as if children from other countries are curious and want to take a closer look at our national treasure, the giant panda.
Lin Yao's focus was obviously different from hers, and she gushed endlessly: "The scenery over there is really good, do you know, their sky is always blue and blue, not even a trace of clouds!" Their roofs and walls are snow-white, and there is no sign of rain at all! And their gold street, the whole street of shops are selling gold like Chinese cabbage, and the gold ornaments they use are very large and thick, and at a glance, the whole street is full of gold......"
Lin Yao talked about what she had seen and heard in Dubai, and at the same time organized her luggage in an orderly manner, and she practiced multi-purpose in her work.
Jiang Mingshu sighed with emotion when she heard this, "Those who do business in our class haven't had the opportunity to go abroad yet, and I can't imagine that you, who are doing internal service, will go abroad first." ”
Who knows?
Lin Yao herself didn't expect it, but she probably guessed the reason why Qin Yi and Lin Yun always asked her to go to the exhibition. That's precisely because her identity is back-office, and theoretically all customers have nothing to do with her.
As for why she can only be an internal officer, and why no matter how much performance she makes, she will still be looked down upon, isn't the reason because she has a low education and low English proficiency?
However, this is only temporary.
When she went to graduate school, she was the most educated in the company!
No one has the right to look down on her!
Lin Yao said seriously: "What's so difficult about going abroad?" Now many countries are visa-free, including Dubai, as long as you save enough money, you can go wherever you want! ”
"The problem is that I haven't saved enough." Speaking of money, Jiang Mingshu's tone was much lower, "I can't even pay off my credit card at the beginning of next month." ”
Lin Yao couldn't help but wonder, "Didn't you say that you were ready to repay the credit card money?" ”
Jiang Mingshu said distressedly: "Yes, I was originally ready, but I went to Yintai later." It's not that you don't know how unspent money is now! ”
This...... Lin Yao really didn't know.
According to her thoughts, Jiang Mingshu works in Orlando, the benefits are so good, there are still more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan a year, I dare not say more, it is not a problem to save about 100,000 yuan, right?
Why did you get to Jiang Mingshu, but she couldn't even pay off her credit card?
But Jiang Mingshu still feels that she has done a good job and is very measured, what does this make her say?
Jiang Mingshu was remorseful, "I would have lent you the 5,000 yuan if I had known that I would have put the money there, I would definitely not have bought that set of cosmetics, but unfortunately I didn't know everything!" Ay...... My five thousand. ”
Lin Yao felt that the five thousand yuan was not the point at all!
Jiang Mingshu doesn't seem to have discovered that she has been getting by, and she has no life plan at all!
In the long run, even the best cards can be played by her!
Lin Yao was thinking about how to persuade her to make a three-year plan or a five-year plan.
Jiang Mingshu asked again: "By the way, how did you settle that tax later?" ”
Lin Yao replied casually: "My credit card limit is 80,000. ”
"But that's fifty or sixty thousand!" Jiang Mingshu was anxious for her just thinking about it, "You have to repay both the mortgage and the credit card, my God, how will you spend the rest of your life?" I told you, I really don't have any savings! ”
How could Lin Yao not know her details, "I have a sum of money, which I didn't want to move, but I really can't use it for emergencies." ”
The credit card can be paid in installments, and the 5,000 yuan that Mr. Wen rewarded her is still there, plus the monthly salary, it is now the end of December, and the year-end bonus should be issued soon, Lin Yao feels that she can still handle it.
Jiang Mingshu was shocked, "You still have money?" ”
Lin Yao was also surprised, "You mean, you really haven't saved any money at all?" ”
Jiang Mingshu was silent, she couldn't deny this, but she didn't want to admit it.
She changed the subject, "By the way, does your family know about your house purchase?" ”
While Lin Yao was answering the phone, her hands were busy all the time, she put the clothes in the suitcase into the wardrobe by category, hung up the coat, and put the small items into the storage box.
Hearing Jiang Mingshu ask about buying a house, her movements paused slightly, and she didn't speak again after a "hmm".
Jiang Mingshu said curiously: "You have bought a house, but your family didn't sponsor you a little?" ”
"It was I who wanted to buy a house, not that they wanted me to buy a house, so I didn't ask my family for money." Lin Yao asked rhetorically: "Besides, I've bought it all, and the house is still hardcover, so why do I need their sponsorship?" ”
In fact, it is not true, Lin Yao does not talk more about the house with her family, there are many reasons, on the one hand, Ms. Wen's mouth is too fast, but anything she knows, it will generally make the whole village know.
On the other hand, Ms. Wen is very worried, her temper is irritable, and at the same time, she has a little heart problem, which is also the main reason why Lao Lin and Lin Yao put up with her unconditionally in everything.
Ms. Wen doesn't care about the house at the moment, because she lives in the village and doesn't know anything about the housing prices in Hangzhou.
Once Lin Yao asks her for money, Ms. Wen will get to the bottom of it, if she knows that Lin Yao has no money left in her hand and has more than one million foreign debts (loans), she will definitely go crazy.
Ms. Wen has a little spare money in her hands, but it is only a few hundred thousand.
The money is in Ms. Wen's hands, she can be happy every day, but if it is handed over to Lin Yao to repay the loan, it is far from enough!
In that case, why did Lin Yao mention those things to her?
"That's right." Jiang Mingshu said with a complicated mood, "You have already done it yourself." ”
Lin Yao took the opportunity to persuade her, "Your salary is not low, as long as you plan well, it will not be a problem to buy a house and a car in the future." ”
Jiang Mingshu disagreed, "I get so much money every month, what is it enough for?" Besides, the housing prices in Hangzhou are so expensive, I don't want to live a miserable life in order to buy a house! ”
Speaking of this, she laughed, "You have become a house slave yourself, and you still want to drag me into the water, but there is no door!" Hahaha......"
Lin Yao asked, "Then don't you think, in fact, your current life is not very easy?" ”
Jiang Mingshu's laughter stopped abruptly, and she fell silent.
Her salary is higher than Lin Yao's, but Lin Yao bought a house, and she can't even pay her credit card bills, why is this happening?
"People have to have a goal......
Lin Yao was about to continue persuading her, but Jiang Mingshu interrupted her impatiently, "I said, can you be realistic?" I don't even know how to pay next month's bill, and you actually persuade me to buy a house and a car? Ay! I'm too lazy to talk to you, hang up. ”
Lin Yao hurriedly said: "Wait, I'm calling ......" In fact, she just wanted to ask where the custom of giving insoles for Christmas was, but before she finished speaking, Jiang Mingshu hung up the phone without even a second.
Lin Yao had no choice but to give up, Jiang Mingshu was wandering in Orlando, living very well, and having such a desperate rich second-generation boyfriend, she actually had a brain pump, and it was really unreasonable to worry about Jiang Mingshu's house and car, no wonder Jiang Mingshu was angry.
Lin Yao told herself that this is the last time, and Jiang Mingshu can toss as much as she likes in the future, who will let the family have willful capital.
As for the pair of insoles, no matter what Bai Lihong gives, it is a part of people's hearts.
Lin Yao didn't think that Christmas had anything to do with a native Chinese like her, so she didn't think about giving Christmas gifts to anyone in the company at all.
Besides, Li Renhai is the only one who has a decent relationship with her in the company, and she can't give it to anyone, so she can give Li Renhai a Christmas gift.
As for Bai Lihong, Lin Yao originally planned to give her a gift back, but the insoles given by Bai Lihong together with the packaging should add up to no more than 5 yuan, what kind of gift can she return, greeting cards?
They're not elementary school students, so don't be funny!
Lin Yao simply gave up.
Lin Yao sorted out some of the gadgets she bought in Dubai, and put some ornaments and decorations on the bookshelf in the study to decorate the study that seemed a little empty.
Her four rooms were arranged in such a way that one upstairs was used as a study--studio, another as a bedroom, and one downstairs as her own bedroom and another as a guest room.
She plans to live upstairs in spring and autumn, and downstairs in winter and summer.
Although Lin Yao only brought a thousand yuan to Dubai and couldn't buy many things, she didn't return empty-handed, for example, the gold price in Dubai was much lower than that in China, she spent a few hundred meters to buy a gold ring for Ms. Wen, and she also selected some Arabic style jewelry and handicrafts for Jiang Mingshu.
Finally, there are some perfumes, CDs and skin care products, which she keeps first, and can take them back to give away during the Chinese New Year.
Lin Yao finished packing up the things in the suitcase as quickly as she could, and she was ready to review.
She originally wanted to tell Jiang Mingshu that she had brought some souvenirs back, but how could it be as important as giving gifts?
So, wait until she finishes the exam.
The exam is already very close, and Lin Yao plans not to go out this weekend.
