It was rare for the sun to clear up. After lunch, Shao Mo and Zhong Xiaochen went for a walk on the playground arm in arm and basked in the sun.
The two of them chatted while walking towards the playground, "Didn't Shi Xiaowen participate in the election for the position of the Student Union Liaison Department Officer? She was eliminated."
Shao Mo didn't pay too much attention, "There are so many people participating in the election, so failure is normal."
"Other departments are very competitive, but not the External Relations Department. There are only a few people in the External Relations Department. Except for her, everyone else was selected."
She was the only one eliminated, which was a bit embarrassing.
"The External Relations Department sounds nice, but in fact it is just to attract sponsorship. If the job is not good, the pressure will be great. The officers of the previous term graduated and transferred to departments, leaving only the Minister of External Relations as a polished commander. This term was originally
We plan to recruit a few more officers as a reserve, so all those who participated in the election were selected, and only Shi Xiaowen was eliminated. Do you know why?"
Shao Mo shook his head.
Zhong Xiaochen shook her arm, "Because of you!"
Shao Mo was confused, "Why does it have anything to do with me?"
"Everyone knows that you have a rich father, and you are an invisible rich woman. Everyone still expects you to sponsor the school's activities. Shi Xiaowen offended you, and the external relations department took her in. Doesn't it offend you?
Well?"
Shao Mo couldn't laugh or cry, "It's her, she doesn't have the ability to influence my view of the student union."
"You are generous, but the people in the external relations department don't think so. If I have to choose between you and Shi Xiaowen, any fool knows who to choose."
Shao Mo just treated this matter as a casual matter and listened to it, but he didn't expect that Shi Xiaowen would come to her because of it two days later.
Shi Xiaowen became the only one eliminated by the External Relations Department. Not only was she ridiculed, but she was also expelled from the cultural club she had previously joined. The reason was that her reputation was not good and it damaged the image of the club.
The Cultural Club of Peking University is one of the top ten societies and is committed to the promotion of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. Each member has the opportunity to represent Peking University in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and abroad for cultural communication and exchange activities, so it is extremely popular in Peking University.
It can be said that Shi Xiaowen worked hard to get into the cultural club, but was expelled without even getting hot.
She was unwilling to do so and believed that Shao Mo was using his background and methods to secretly target her.
"Shao Mo, I have already apologized to you, made a self-examination, and been punished. What else do you want from me? Do you have to force me to death?"
"Ah, what's going on? Why are the two of them quarreling again?"
"Who knows, but I heard that Shi Xiaowen was eliminated by the External Relations Department and then expelled from the Cultural Society. I don't know if someone deliberately targeted her."
Shi Xiaowen deliberately chose to confront Shao Mo in a crowded cafeteria, just to put pressure on her with the help of public opinion and to let her show her favor.
Unfortunately, Shi Xiaowen made the wrong calculation.
Putting aside the fact that these two things had nothing to do with her, even if she really did it, why would she let Shi Xiaowen go?
"Shi Xiaowen, whether you believe it or not, you failed to run for student union officer and were expelled from the cultural society. Both of these things have nothing to do with me."
Of course Shi Xiaowen didn't believe it. Ever since she was found out about spreading rumors about Shao Mo, she hadn't encountered anything that went well. It wasn't Shao Mo who was secretly causing trouble. How could she be so unlucky?
At this moment, the vice chairman of the student union suddenly came over and said, "Shi Xiaowen, you think too superficially about the student union at Peking University. Do you think that any student can control the operation of the entire student union?"
Your failure in the election really has nothing to do with anyone, but the student union has new rules this year, and no one with a sanction on their file can join the student union."
Shi Xiaowen didn't expect this to be the reason, so she stayed where she was for a while.
"As for your expulsion from the Cultural Club, I think it is also related to the punishment you received. The Cultural Club often represents Beijing University in friendly exchanges with well-known universities at home and abroad. You love to spread gossip and gossip, so naturally the club does not dare to use you with confidence.
.”
The words of the Vice President of the Student Union were like a loud slap on Shi Xiaowen's face. Her face turned red and white, then turned red again, which was particularly wonderful.
Seeing that Shi Xiaowen had nothing to say, Shao Mo turned around and thanked the vice chairman of the student union, then turned around and planned to leave the cafeteria, a place of right and wrong.
"Shao Mo!"
As soon as she walked out of the cafeteria door, the vice president of the student union chased after her.
"The winter solstice is coming soon, and the student union is planning to hold a dumpling-making activity for the winter solstice, but the budget is not enough..."
"How much is missing?"
Shao Mo's directness made the other party's face turn red, "I didn't help you just to attract sponsorship."
"Well, I know, but you really helped me get rid of the problem. As a courtesy, I can help you solve the funding problem within my ability."
The other party was very embarrassed and reported a number, "There is still more than five hundred left."
"No problem, I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
For Shao Mo, it was just a month's pocket money, but for the entire student union, it was a timely help.
The other party thanked her seriously and invited her to host the event, but Shao Mo declined with a smile.
After more than a week of running around, Lingchuan finally rented a suitable store.
The store is on Qianmen Street, which is located on the central axis of the capital. It is a very popular commercial district at the moment. However, the location of the store Lingchuan rented is a bit off. It is in a side alley of the main street and the store is not big.
More than 40 square meters.
Although the location is remote and the store is not large, the rent is prohibitively high.
The starting rent is 50,000 yuan for one year, and the deposit is 10,000 yuan. If the lease is renewed next year, the rent will increase by 5%, and so on. Each year's rent will increase by 5% from the previous year's rent.
In order to open as soon as possible, Shao Mo designed a set of economical, simple and tasteful decorations for the store.
It only took four days to complete the decoration, and all that was left was to customize the display cabinets and go to the Shanghai market to get the goods.
During the process of decorating and customizing the display cabinets, Lingchuan found two salesmen, who were introduced to them through Wen Qingsheng. They were both locals from the capital with good fortune and reliable character.
Selling pagers is not like selling trinkets. A pager is worth one or two thousand, and all the goods in the store add up to more than ten or two hundred thousand. People who are not reliable will not dare to hire them.
Before opening a store, all dealers need to go to the company to participate in a seven-day product and sales training.
The night before going to Shanghai for training, Lingchuan held Shao Mo reluctantly.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm going to separate from you again."
Shao Mo lay in the man's warm arms, his cheeks slightly pink from the heat, "It's only seven days, it's not a long time. You go and study hard. When you come back, I will have a gift for you."
Lingchuan hugged her tighter, "I don't want gifts, I just want you, wife."
