"So which package did you two choose in the end? One indoor and one outdoor package? Or our two outdoor packages?" the boss of Lantian Photography asked.
Xia Zejiang said directly: "Two sets of outdoor scenes."
Hearing the exact answer he gave, the boss of Lantian Photography smiled and said: "Okay, it's 4,880 yuan in total. Do you want to take another look? If not, let's hand over the money and I'll write you a letter."
List, we’ll start arranging for you two to take photos the day after tomorrow.”
Open the door to welcome guests and always keep a smile on your face.
Just because of the service attitude and the boss's enthusiasm, Xia Zejiang thought, I also took pictures here.
He was thinking that I paid you to take pictures, not just to pretend to be a master in front of me.
They also asked me to use additional money and connections to ‘jump in line’, which in itself explains the problem.
Xia Zejiang's ID card and bank card had been replaced, and he happily swiped his card to pay the money. Blue Sky Photography opened an order for him, and Xia Zejiang specifically asked: "Can the photo shoot be completed in one day?"
"Well, we can finish the shooting in one day. Come over at three o'clock the day after tomorrow. We will put on makeup at my place and go directly to the location shooting base. We are not like those big photo studios, where one photographer works with five or six teams of newcomers.
We only have three pairs of newcomers at most when taking photos. Usually, two teams of newcomers take photos together. Our efficiency is higher and there is no problem in terms of time." said the boss.
"That's good, boss, you will make a fortune sooner or later." Xia Zejiang also said.
The boss of Blue Sky Photography covered his mouth and laughed for a while, and then said: "Come with me to choose three sets of clothes. Let's decide on the clothes first, and then just take the clothes and go to save time."
Although there are only 3 sets of clothes, this busy work lasts more than half an hour. From the girl’s wedding dress, headwear, and shoes to the boy’s clothes, shoes, and ties, they all have to be matched separately, and two people have to stand together to match them.
It would be better to be more harmonious, which made Xia Zejiang and Shen Jiayi, who had never experienced this battle, nod and explode.
Shen Jiayi also mentioned that they wanted to choose two sets of clothes from the photo studio and shoot one with their own clothes. The owner of the photo studio readily agreed without thinking. Anyway, the money has been paid, so it is not their problem.
.
"Boss, let's see you later." Xia Zejiang and Shen Jiayi came out of Lantian Photography, with all three sets of clothes finished, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Jiayi said with some expectation: "Zejiang, do you think the wedding photos we took are good-looking?"
"It must look good. As long as you are here, the photo will be even more beautiful." Xia Zejiang praised shamelessly.
Shen Jiayi saw through his trick on the spot, slapped him in the face and said, "Be more serious, I'm going to ask you something serious."
Xia Zejiang also felt that he had been wronged. He said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's find a place to discuss the wedding date. Your mother-in-law just called and asked, and my mother-in-law must have asked too."
Shen Jiayi said 'hmm' and said, "I called twice and asked when we would go and settle the date."
"I just said, let's go back and discuss it first. I also have to tell my brother. If I don't tell him about such a big thing in advance, he can really kill me." Xia Zejiang said.
Shen Jiayi couldn't help but laugh when she heard what he said.
Maybe this is really possible.
Shen Jiayi also asked a question: "Zejiang, what do you think the eldest brother will do if he goes to take wedding photos and encounters the extra money problem we just encountered?"
"Him?" Xi'a Zang'ang thought about it carefully, and then said: "It's really hard to say. My brother was very poor when he got married. He had nothing. I remembered that he told me to take wedding photos.
The photo was scheduled more than half a month in advance, and we kept waiting.”
He also said that he was addicted, and continued: "After the photos were taken, when he and my sister-in-law went to choose the photos, my brother said that there were many beautiful photos when they were taken, and my sister-in-law wanted them all, but she had to pay more.
Yeah, my sister-in-law seemed to have chosen 30 more photos, which cost her more than two thousand yuan. They even had a quarrel in the photo studio... How poor was my brother at that time?"
"There is this thing!" Shen Jiayi really didn't know about it, and no one had ever told her about it. It sounded quite new to her.
Xia Zejiang continued: "But do you know the final result of the wedding photos they took?"
Shen Jiayi shook her head, she hadn't even noticed it, how could she have known this.
"A large package of photo frames was thrown into the basement. Two photo albums were kept in the drawer and never been taken out. If you think about it carefully, does my brother not even have a stage for wedding photos at home?"
After hearing what Xia Zejiang said, Shen Jiayi really thought about it seriously. She found that what Xia Zejiang said was true. She had been to her eldest brother's house several times, whether it was when she lived in the old house in Qiyun Garden Community, or when she was in Ziyu
In the new house in the garden, she had never seen the wedding photos of her eldest brother and sister-in-law. They didn't even hang them in the bedroom, and her feelings were in the basement.
"Then what are you doing taking pictures of that thing?" Shen Jiayi asked a very pure and innocent question.
Xia Zejiang said with a smile: "How could I know."
"I suspect this is the same as the promotion of diamonds, 'A diamond is forever, a diamond will last forever.' To put it bluntly, it is to seize on people's weaknesses and over-market."
The two of them walked slowly along the roadside, talking and laughing.
Unlike when they came here, they were not in a hurry when they walked back, thinking of walking for a while before taking the bus ahead.
Xia Zejiang also said that when they go back next month, they will rent a house for their wedding.
The apartment they bought has not yet been delivered and renovated, so there is no time to use it.
"Yeah!" Shen Jiayi didn't care about this either. She felt that as long as she was with Xia Zejiang, everything else was just details and not a problem.
"Jiayi, let's go find a place to sit in front for a while, and I'll call my brother and say something." Xia Zejiang said.
Shen Jiayi saw a big KFC sign not far ahead, and she said, "Let's go to KFC, we just happened to order one for lunch."
It's only been half a day since I've been busy, and I'm really hungry now.
Xia Zejiang made an 'OK' gesture, and the two of them passed directly.
…
Qicheng, Jingtong Development Co., Ltd.
Xia Zekai was busy processing the report when he received a call from his brother and said to him: "Brother, I will go back to Qicheng next month to discuss with you about making matching packaging for your company. Also, I 6
I’m going to get married in the next month.”
"Your wedding room hasn't been decorated yet, right?" Xia Zekai asked him. Matching packaging is not a problem, he doesn't care about it.
Xia Zejiang said: "We haven't come down yet. The sales office said at the time that we could come down in half a year, but it has been delayed for almost a year. I find that these house sellers talk like farts. You can't believe them because they are delaying my work."
"
"Then where are you getting married?" Xia Zekai asked him.
"I'm thinking about returning to Qicheng next month. I'll rent a house to live in first. If I get married then, I'll get married at the place where I rented the house." This is what Xia Zejiang thought.
Xia Zekai thought for a while and said: "Let's see, I have two villas that have already been renovated. The smaller one will be completed in May. It will be used for your wedding first, and then I will move there after the renovation of your house is completed.
, it’s not far away anyway.”
"Brother, let's forget it. Jiayi and I are still thinking about having a baby now. The house that has just been renovated, no matter how environmentally friendly the decoration materials are, is not very good." Xia Zejiang decisively refused.
He has caused too much trouble to his brother, and some things must be stopped.
"You kid bought me this house. If I had known this, I wouldn't have sold the house in Qiyun Garden and left it for your wedding." Xia Zekai said this, but it's a pity that the house is of no use.
, it was handled last year.
"Brother, you have helped me a lot..."
"Fart, chirp again, and I'll throw you into the garbage." Xia Zekai said the most heartwarming words in the cruelest tone. He said: "Who told me that you are the only brother I have."
"If that doesn't work, just buy a second-hand house that's better repaired. You don't have to do a lot of renovations, and you don't have to rent a house and have to move back and forth, which is inconvenient," Xia Zekai said.
He said: "Even if you move later, you can still make money by selling the house."
Xia Zejiang was quite straightforward. He said, "Brother, I don't have that much money anymore. The budget I have is not enough."
"I'll lend it to you, and you can pay it back to me later when you have money." Xia Zekai set the tone with one sentence.
Hundreds of thousands, little money!
"Brother, isn't this bad? If my sister-in-law finds out..."
Xia Zekai's expression changed immediately. His voice became louder and he said, "Zejiang, tell me clearly, what do you mean? Are you saying that I am afraid of your sister-in-law?"
"Believe it or not, if you dare to come here today, I will kill you to death." Xia Zekai was furious. This bastard must have been too full.
Then he heard his younger brother say: "Brother, I really can't go back today. I just made an appointment with Jiayi to take wedding photos the day after tomorrow. When the photoshoot is finished, we can go back together."
"Is the date set?" Xia Zekai felt a lot in his heart. He didn't know what to say. The young boy was finally getting married. He was no longer like in his previous life, hurriedly looking for a partner to marry after he was over 30 years old.
When other people's children should be looking for partners to get married, his brother's child has just entered high school?
Getting married and having children truly embodies the essence of the saying 'one step at a time, one step at a time'.
"Not yet, Jiayi and I will have lunch first. After we finish eating, we will go find a master to check the date." Xia Zejiang said.
Xia Zekai said 'hmm' and finally asked him: "Is the money enough? I borrowed it anyway, so why not borrow more at once? The wedding is just one time, and it can be done smoothly."
He said: "Don't be like me at that time, who had no money and had to worry about everything. Your sister-in-law is still complaining about it now."
"Brother, if you say bad things about my sister-in-law, I will tell her later." Xia Zejiang said this.
"Snapped!"
Xia Zekai slapped his phone on the table. This little bastard wanted to be beaten.
…
On the other side, in a KFC store in Jicheng, Shen Jiayi listened to Xia Zejiang and his brother talking on the phone, laughing so hard that she had no image at all.
After he finally finished the call, Shen Jiayi said to him: "Zejiang, why are you so careless on the phone with your elder brother? You need to pay attention to it in the future."
"I just don't want to trouble him anymore. I've already troubled him a lot." Xia Zejiang said in a faint tone.
He said in a low voice: "Jiayi, you don't know, I have always liked to compete with my brother for everything since I was a child. I compete with him for toys and food. I also study better than him. He didn't even take the undergraduate exam."
Yes, I am a graduate student now, but I know that my brother left me alone, and he is also very smart."
"He graduated early and went to work to reduce the burden on his family. You may not know that he sometimes secretly gave me living expenses, like one hundred or two hundred, but I know that he was also very tight at that time.
Life was not good."
"At that time, I thought that after I graduated, I would earn more money, and it would be best if I could help him."
"Who knew that he would become rich before I graduated!"
Speaking of this, Xia Zejiang's face looked a little lonely. He said: "Not only did I not help him, but I also caused him a lot of trouble again and again, but he never said anything about me. In fact, sometimes I just want to scold him.
I said 'you piece of trash'."
Shen Jiayi reached out from the table, took Xia Zejiang's hand, held it tightly, and said, "Why do you think so? Brother certainly doesn't want you to think so. He just wants you to live a better life."
"I know. He just said that he would lend me a sum of money so that we could buy a second-hand house as a wedding house. I thought about it and borrowed it. My brother was right. Since you borrowed it once, you should borrow more at once.
, what kind of car do you think we should buy..."
"Pfft!" Shen Jiayi couldn't hold it any longer and finally laughed.
A guy with a lot of strength!
…
Time slipped away quietly without saying hello to anyone.
During this period, everyone is busy with their careers and families.
After two recruitments on Tuesday and Thursday, Luo Xiyun's Kaiyun Investment has recruited four more people, two of whom are administrative clerks, one is in finance, and one is a student majoring in investment-related majors.
After having these two administrative clerks, Sun Yuping became a full-time HR employee.
But what caught Luo Xiyun off guard was that the investment student had passed the interview. After he saw that the office of Kaiyun Investment was still being renovated, he did not say hello the next day and stopped coming.
Later, it was Sun Yuping who called him. After asking, I found out that he thought 'Kaiyun Investment' was too new. It was such a big place and was inconsistent with the 'registered capital of 100 million' written in the recruitment brochure. He was maliciously exaggerating the facts.
, there is no development prospect at all.
After Sun Yuping reported the matter to Luo Xiyun, Luo Xiyun smiled lightly and said: "Xiao Sun, this kind of person is too short-sighted. It's okay not to want him. It's his loss if he doesn't come."
"Write down his information and give me another copy. I will apply for the job again in the future and never be hired."
At this point, it's not over yet. Luo Xiyun said: "I will send another document to Tongtong's father, but he won't be able to use it."
"-_-||" Sun Yuping was so frightened that she gritted her teeth and did not dare to say anything.
Could this be the legendary ‘ban’? It’s really terrifying.
Also, it is really inexplicable for a woman to get angry.
It was not until much later, when Sun Yuping and Luo Xiyun were chatting, that they mentioned this 'interesting story', and she knew why Luo Xiyun issued the 'blocking' order.
In Luo Xiyun's words: "If you don't come, don't come. You still despise Kaiyun Investment as it has no future. Isn't this looking down on me and slapping me in the face?"
