Manager Zhao and I landed at Irkutsk airport.

As soon as I got out of the customs, I saw Xiao Shi's familiar and friendly smiling face.

Lovely little rocks helped us carry our luggage into the car. Seeing our thin outfits, Xiao Shi smiled and said, Beijing is almost summer, right? It's still winter here!

Manager Zhao, who is a southerner, couldn't close his mouth in surprise when he saw the icy and snowy landscape of Irkutsk, and he kept saying to us with his eyes open:

- "How can this be?" It's much colder than Beijing! I can't imagine this would be like this if I didn't see it with my own eyes! ”

I looked at him and smiled and said:

- "Manager Zhao, before you come out, I checked the costume you prepared, and you still said that I was exaggerating?" Now you know what to wear here, right? ”

- "Oh! I really didn't expect it! How could it be like this? ”

Xiao Shi, who was driving the car, listened to Manager Zhao's non-stop sighs and smiled inclusively.

When I came to the office, Xiao Shi arranged me to the room where I used to live. Manager Zhao was arranged to live in the apartment where Deputy Director Cheng and Xiaoshi lived.

Xiao Shi told me that the apartment where Mr. Wang and I lived before had never been arranged for anyone to live in.

The furnishings in the room had not changed in the slightest, and I walked to the window and looked out at the snow-covered yard, the familiar path that had been cleared, and the inhabitants who walked along it. In a trance, I felt as if I hadn't left here.

Wrong! When I came here last year, it was a bleak winter day in Beijing, and now it's the beginning of summer. It's just that the unchanging landscape here gives me the illusion of time standing still.

It turns out that in this world, the rhythm of change in different regions and environments is different. Does this also affect the rhythm of people's psychological changes?

The ever-changing environment may also accelerate the rate of change in people's hearts, but will those relatively unchanging environments retain our inherent emotions and cognitions for a longer time?

I don't know!

Although Manager Zhao couldn't adapt to the climate in Irkutsk, this did not affect his enthusiasm for work.

The next day, I started to meet with the agents I had contacted to discuss cooperation.

Director Zhu also took the time to accompany us to inspect two nearby electromechanical markets.

Compared with the backwardness of products in the Russian market, Manager Zhao has more and more confidence in his products.

I agreed with the two agents that they would go to the manufacturer for inspection, and Manager Zhao and I have successfully completed our work here.

In the evening, Director Zhu, Deputy Director Cheng, and Manager Zhao were going to Lao Xie to meet some Chinese friends, I was not interested in these interactions, and besides, I didn't need to be a translator there, so I asked to stay in the office.

Only me and Xiaoshi were in the office, and I felt much more relaxed, and Xiaoshi and I chatted about the TV series that had not yet been broadcast.

Xiao Shi complained that he had been in Irku for so long that he had not even finished broadcasting a TV series, and that Russia's efficiency was too slow.

I laughed at Xiao Shi's words, a little puzzled, why did he want such a fast efficiency?

What else does he want to do in Russia?

- "Do what?" Earn money! I'm not as capable as you, I can make a lot of money if I speak Russian, I just make a little money by stitching. Xiao Shi said with some embarrassment.

- "I know Russian, but I can't earn anything but that pitiful salary!" I said

- "How is that possible?" "Xiao Shi didn't believe me

- "Really, I really don't even know what you said, how do you make money?" Can you tell me? I asked, my eyes wide in curiosity.

- "You really don't make any extra money?" Xiao Shi had an expression of disbelief

- "Why am I lying to you?" Tell me how you make money, and let me learn too! "I begged for the rock

- "Well, I'm a small business, in fact, I can't make a lot of money, and you may not even look down on it." ”

- "Just tell me! I won't spoil your business. ”

I was so curious about what Xiao Shi said, and begged him to tell me.

- "Then you and I will come!" I'll show you my goods. ”

Xiao Shi thought about it, got up and turned off the TV, and he took me to his bedroom.

I saw two large woven bags in Xiaoshi's bedroom against the window.

Xiao Shi went over and opened the bag, and it was full of women's sweaters. He poured out the contents of the two bags, and the floor of his room was instantly covered with these clothes.

Xiao Shi smiled and said to me:

- "You sit down first, I'll tally the goods, they said there are a thousand, only a little more, I really didn't look at it carefully." ”

I saw that each sweater had a plastic wrapper, and Xiaoshi began to tie them up in a bundle of ten, and put them back in the bag after they were bundled.

I'm asking for help. Xiao Shi happily agreed.

Xiao Shi told me to bundle ten pieces of the same suit. If the packaging is damaged, put it aside.

While I was helping Xiaoshi with the work, I listened to him tell me:

These goods are leftovers from those big wholesalers. They didn't want to bother taking care of it, so they disposed of it to Xiaoshi. The price is very cheap.

Xiaoshi has to sort them out, take them to friends in the Chinese market for consignment, and sell them for everyone's share.

Xiaoshi and I chatted and worked together, and the goods were sorted out in a while.

There are one thousand and forty-one in all.

Three of the packages were damaged, I checked and only the packaging was broken, and there was nothing wrong with the clothes themselves. I think the styles and colors of these sweaters are quite good. To Xiaoshi, these sweaters will definitely sell well.

Xiao Shi heard me say this, and said with a smile:

- "Sister Lin, if you like it, wear it, this is not a famous brand, I'm afraid you won't be able to look at it!" ”

- "I don't think these sweaters are any worse than those designer clothes." However, this is all your goods, or I will buy it. ”

I said to Xiao Shi, to be honest, I really like these clothes.

- "Don't! Sister Lin, if you know that you wear a few of my goods and pay back the money, then I won't be able to mix in Irkutsk. Xiao Shi smiled and said:

- "Sister Lin, let me tell you the truth, the batch of goods they gave me was settled according to one thousand. If there are a few pieces, they will give me a few pieces back; If there is more, there will be no additional money. They said that the guarantee was only a little more, and it didn't seem like they were lying to me. You see, these forty-one things are for nothing. Sister Lin, if you like it, wear it, don't mention the money to me, hahaha......"

Xiao Shi said as he took out a few different styles from those goods and stuffed them into my hand.

- "Enough, enough! I can't take it back with me. I stopped Xiaoshi and said in surprise.

- "Xiaoshi, how much money can you earn with these goods?" I asked

- "Well, if it goes well, I'll be half a year's salary." ”

- "So many? Xiaoshi, you're amazing! But don't worry, I'm just asking, I won't tell anyone about it......" I exclaimed, winking at Xiaoshi.

- "Huh...... Sister Lin, you and Manager Zhao came to talk about business, and there was no commission or anything? Xiao Shi raised his head and asked

- "No! Why is there still a commission for this? This is the first time I've heard it. I asked, puzzled

- "Hehe...... You are all doing big business, and I don't know the specifics, but I don't think Director Zhu and their participation in Manager Zhao's business will definitely not help in vain. Xiao Shi smiled.

- "Oh? "I answered thoughtfully

- "Sister Lin, if only I had Russian as good as you. Actually, there are really a lot of opportunities to make money here, but I don't speak Russian, and I have a problem communicating with Lao Maozi, and I don't understand some of their needs. Lost a lot of opportunities. Xiao Shi said with a regretful face while loading his clothes.

- "What did you not understand?" If it's a secret, I'll ask for you? I asked him with the sweater that Xiaoshi gave me

- "That's a good dare!" Xiao Shi raised his head and looked at me happily and said.
