11. Opportunity
Our supermarket starts at 9 a.m. and closes at 9 p.m., so I have to stand for at least 12 hours a day, and my legs and feet are sore at the end of the day. There are no holidays, wages will be deducted for leave, and there is no overtime pay for overtime.
Sometimes I think that the laws I taught myself are only for people to see, not to enforce, and survival is the first thing. So I'm going to do this, do cows and horses survive? Can you change your future? You can't make a lot of money by working so hard as a shopping guide, not to mention honoring your parents, paying rent, eating, and riding in a car every month, and there is not much left at all. I have to look for opportunities, but where are my opportunities?
At this time, I often console myself with this sentence: opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. So as long as I have free time, I will learn to enrich myself, English, makeup knowledge, marketing knowledge, as long as I think it is useful, I will find a way to learn. And the girls around me are dressing up, shopping, falling in love, etc., and I am like an alternative in this city, in this group of people. But what kind of opportunity am I waiting for? I don't know myself.
When I wait for the train at night, I often look up at the not clear sky, and then I think of the ugly man I met on the train. Is he also running for survival under such an unclear sky? Did he not give up and insist on enriching himself like me? Thinking of this, I'm a little lucky, at least I can still find a job, he looks like that, there must be no boss willing to want him, am I very Q?
One morning, as soon as the supermarket opened, an old lady came in and found me, took my hand, and muttered in Haidu dialect, which I didn't quite understand. She hadn't been in Haidu for too long, and she spoke so fast that I really had a hard time understanding what she meant. But looking at her expression, she is not asking me for trouble, she should be praising me.
My companion came to help me translate the old lady's words, and I realized that she had come to visit the supermarket that day, and I had given her one of our sample-sized foundations, and by the way, I had done a brief treatment of her face. When she returned, her son said she was pretty, and her nose looked like she wanted to stand up. She just came over today to buy products and asked me to teach her makeup.
I think she's almost sixty years old, what kind of makeup do you wear, that day it was just a trial outfit, she was interested, so I simply helped her do it, at such an age, you have to put on makeup every day and don't become an old goblin.
But the customer asked, and I couldn't refuse, so I helped her choose a few simple cosmetics. She asked me to teach her how to draw immediately with the products she bought, and I patiently explained to her how to draw, what kind of makeup is suitable for her, and how to remove makeup. After the painting, she looked left and right in the mirror and left and right, and then left happily.
Actually, I'm just a beginner in makeup, and I'm all self-taught, and I never draw for myself, so I don't think I'm pretty, but I think it's best to look the way it is, and I don't want to hook up with anyone. But the sisters in the dormitory often asked me to paint for them, and they said that I painted the makeup for them, and their boyfriends said that they could be several times more beautiful than before. Over time, I practiced with them, and I got better and better at drawing.
After the old lady left, a woman came, and I guess she must have seen me putting on the old lady's makeup. She asked me what kind of cosmetics she was suitable for. I looked at her, and it didn't matter, I stared at her for about thirty seconds, and then I exclaimed, "You're so beautiful, you don't need any makeup!" ”
Indeed, she is the prettiest woman I have ever seen. With big watery eyes, tender white skin, particularly delicate, a small and straight nose, melon seed face, pointed chin, and long curly hair, she is simply as beautiful as a goblin, and when the delicate red lips laugh, the curved arc can hook the soul of any man.
In the face of my sincere admiration, she seemed to be very useful, and smiled: "If you talk like that, how can you sell things?" ”
Yes, people don't need makeup anymore, what am I going to do? Drink the northwest wind to go? Thinking that I am also a woman, I am so fascinated by other people's beauty that I say stupid things, and I stare at others stupidly, maybe I am suspected of being GL? I couldn't help blushing and said, "Actually, there are too few beauties who can be as beautiful as you without makeup, so our products can still be sold." I praised her again, but I did think so at the time, I didn't mean to praise her, but it had an unexpected effect.
I don't know if she likes my products or likes to listen to me, she smiled at me and said, "Since you think I'm so beautiful and I want to buy a cosmetic product, you can recommend one to me, what do you think I need to add?" ”
She looked at me with her beautiful eyes, and I panicked, trying to calm myself, thinking to myself, since people want to take care of my business, I can't go against their kindness. But her face was perfect for me, and I noticed that she wore light makeup, and her makeup skills were almost impeccable. I learned makeup for a while, and I thought I was so good at makeup, but now I know that there is a sky outside the sky, and I am just a little grass at most.
I shook my head in admiration, impeccable!
She smiled and said, "Don't you think my lips need to be taken care of?" ”
After doing this, I finally realized that the color of the lipstick she used was impeccable with her temperament and skin color, but maybe the lipstick she used was drier, so her lips looked a little less full. So I said, "We just have a porcelain glossy lip here, and it must be perfect for you." ”
I showed her a color that worked for her, and she smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, I'm going to have this." ”
When I gave her a ticket, she handed me a business card and said, "If you want to come to our office, call me." ”
I paused for a moment, hurriedly put away her business card and said thank you, afraid of being seen by my colleagues, saying that I wanted to change jobs.
Just glanced at it, and saw that the business card said that the general manager of Hanyue Cosmetics Company, Jiang Shuiyue. What a familiar name! I try to remember my previous life, this should be a big brand, and now it is far less famous than ten years later, and I vaguely feel that maybe it is an opportunity for me, but I don't know how to seize it yet.
In the afternoon, when I received my salary, the manager made an exception and gave me a bonus of 100 yuan as an intern to encourage me to work hard, which strengthened my belief in staying here to sell cosmetics and help customers with makeup. I thought that when the internship period was over, I would be able to get more bonuses, and when I had saved enough money, I would sign up to learn makeup and master a survival skill first.
