Bamboo horse is difficult to ride
Chapter 42
Zheng Xin only had two days off, and started to work on the second day of the first lunar month.
Because it was the winter vacation, the electronic city ushered in a small peak period. Many students who were at home wanted to use the lucky money to buy computers. As soon as the electronic city opened, the number of customers suddenly increased.
There were originally two skilled workers in charge of installation and maintenance in the shop where Zheng Xin worked. One of them was from out of town. He resigned after receiving his wages before the Spring Festival. Only one person was not enough. The boss kept talking about it. To recruit another one.
Within two days, the boss actually recruited a person, saying that it was a part-time job for a college student, the salary did not need to be so high, and the work was hard.However, Zheng Xin's complexion turned dark on the first day this person went to work, and the person the boss recruited was actually Lin Lang.
When the boss introduced everyone, Lin Lang looked gentle and polite. He only glanced at Zheng Xin indifferently, and then staggered his gaze, treating Zheng Xin as if he had never known him.
Zheng Xin was completely unhappy. He felt that Lin Lang was clearly here to find fault. Even if Lin Lang wanted to work part-time, why didn't he go to other stores in the electronic city with so many stores?
In the morning, when the number of customers in the electronic city was not the largest, Zheng Xin introduced the computer model and configuration to the customers in the store. He secretly glanced at Lin Lang, who was working on the side, familiar with the situation, very serious, and never raised his head. .
In fact, Zheng Xin was a little puzzled. It is said that a person with Lin Lang's personality should be a salesman, so why did he come to work as a skilled worker.
The people in the store ate at the wrong time at noon, and a few salesmen who had no customers went to eat first. After Zheng Xin introduced a customer, he found that only Lin Lang and him were left in the store.
Lin Lang was still burying his head in arranging a lot of old motherboards, neither intending to take a break nor come over to explain anything to him.
Zheng Xin hesitated for a moment, walked over, and said in a deep voice, "Lin Lang."
Lin Lang didn't look up, he was still working on his hands, and said in his mouth: "Xin Xin, I didn't mean to hang around in front of your eyes or interfere with your work, because it's the Spring Festival period, short-term jobs are hard to find, and this job is also Tian Ruirui introduced me here, if you find it inconvenient, I will look for other stores in the electronic city in the past few days, and I will change if there is a suitable one."
Zheng Xin suddenly remembered what he said when he called his mother yesterday. Lin Lang's family basically has no financial resources now, and his aunt is still undergoing heart bypass surgery. It seems that Lin Lang is really short of money.
Zheng Xin was silent for a few seconds, "Forget it, you are busy." Then he turned and went out.
When Zheng Xin came back, he bought a hot and sour rice noodle and a rougamo, walked to Lin Lang and put them down, "Don't be too busy after dinner, there will be more guests in the afternoon, and there won't be time for dinner."
Lin Lang hesitated for a moment, reached out to take it, looked up at Zheng Xin, and said "thank you" sincerely.
Zheng Xin turned around and went to do other things.
In this way, Lin Lang started working in Zheng Xin's shop, starting as an ordinary installation and maintenance worker.This job is much harder than that of a salesperson. Not only do you have to be busy in the store, but you also have to go to customers’ homes to deliver and install machines. Sometimes you can’t finish the list all day, and you have to work overtime at night.
But Lin Lang never complained, and he didn't talk too much. He just kept his head down and did whatever he was asked to do.
Lin Lang is new here, and Liu Xin, an old engineer, assigned Lin Lang the most basic and low-commission work, such as repairing motherboards and monitors, or delivering goods and installing computers far away, which made Lin Lang Lang is busy in the store every morning, and runs around outside in the afternoon, sometimes finishing work after 10 o'clock in the evening.
After a few days, Zheng Xin discovered that Lin Lang was really different from before. For example, Lin Lang used to love to be handsome, he cleaned himself up every day, and he didn't wear clothes that were not famous brands.
But now Lin Lang doesn't look at the brand when he wears clothes. He wears work clothes all day long, and he just dusts the work clothes when they are dirty. He doesn't care at all.Zheng Xin also saw that Lin Lang's shoes were also ordinary roadside stalls, "Nike Wang sneakers" that cost more than [-] yuan.
Lin Lang is also very good at lunch. He often eats a sesame seed cake or something, and doesn't even eat a rice bowl. Zheng Xin never imagined that Lin Lang would be so economical one day.
Zheng Xin found an opportunity to return the 1000 yuan to Lin Lang. Lin Lang paused and took it without saying anything.
After the money was returned to Lin Lang, the two of them no longer owed each other. Zheng Xin suddenly felt very relaxed. It turned out that he and Lin Lang could get along like this, just like strangers.
Zheng Xin hasn't heard from Zhou Mingdi for the past few days, and he doesn't know how Zhou Mingdi will be when he returns home. Zheng Xin wonders if he should buy a mobile phone, otherwise he won't be able to contact Zhou Mingdi.
But he thought again, Zhou Mingdi will not be able to take a few days off before he has to go back to England, even if he has a mobile phone, he will not be able to send cross-border text messages, and Zheng Xin's business is all in the store, and he has not done anything else Sales, for now, mobile phones are of little use.
After thinking about it and hesitating for a few days, he finally mustered up the courage to call Zhou Mingdi's cell phone from the shop phone.
When Zhou Mingdi answered the phone, he yawned continuously: "Hey Xinxin, you finally called me, and you miss me, but you don't have a phone number, so I can't reach you."
Zheng Xin smiled: "It's almost noon, you haven't woken up yet?"
"Hi! Don't mention it, I was dragged out by those high school classmates last night to play all night. These bastards, together with the gang, fed me and got me drunk."
Zheng Xin's heart sank, "I thought your father wouldn't let you go out."
Zhou Mingdi was taken aback for a moment, and said as if he wanted to explain: "My dad confiscated my wallet and bank card, so I can only wander around in L County."
Zheng Xin quickly said: "It's nothing, I just said it casually, as long as you are fine, when will you return to England?"
"Hurry up, the flight ticket for tomorrow afternoon is booked."
Zheng Xin felt uncontrollably uncomfortable. Tomorrow afternoon... It seems that the two of them have no time to meet.
After saying a few more words, after hanging up the phone, Zheng Xin became a little unhappy. He didn't blame Zhou Mingdi for anything, but felt that the gap between himself and Zhou Mingdi was too great. He seemed to never be able to touch Zhou Mingdi's world, and He vaguely felt that the two of them seemed to lack some enthusiasm between lovers.
In the afternoon, when introducing the computer to the guests, Zheng Xin was a little absent-minded. Once he quoted the wrong price, which made the customer very unhappy. The boss was watching and didn’t say anything at the time. He went to the back warehouse, said a few words, and emphasized again that if Zheng Xin's sales performance this month is still the bottom, he will deduct [-]% of Zheng Xin's salary.
The boss left after saying this, and Zheng Xin stood there dejectedly.
At this moment, Lin Lang came over from behind the innermost shelf, and Zheng Xin was taken aback. He didn't expect Lin Lang to see what happened just now.
Lin Lang walked up to Zheng Xin and put down the things in his hand, took out a card from his coat pocket and put it in front of Zheng Xin, and said in a calm voice: "Yesterday I went to install a computer at a customer's home, and that customer lives in the suburbs, he said he wanted to Open an Internet cafe in the suburbs, and a batch of machines will be imported at that time, this is his phone number, you can call him and ask."
Zheng Xin was startled. Lin Lang was depressed when he heard that he was being trained. He thought that he would face him in front of Lin Lang this time, but he didn't expect that Lin Lang would introduce him to customer resources.
Although the division of labor in their store is salespersons and skilled workers, there is no express rule that skilled workers cannot sell machines. If they sell them, the boss will not say anything, anyway, they are all making money for the store.
Zheng Xin said slowly, "Why didn't you do this... such a big order?"
Lin Lang shrugged: "I'm a technician, not a salesman."
"Technical workers can also sell machines, and they also get a commission."
"Forget it, Liu Xin is definitely not happy. I'm new here, so I can't steal his limelight. Hurry up and follow me."
After Lin Lang finished speaking, he picked up his things and went out. Zheng Xin picked up the card and couldn't recover for a long time.
Zheng Xin called the client that afternoon, and the client was indeed interested, and the two had a good conversation.Zheng Xin had a long-term mind. He didn't tell the boss before this matter happened. There is no such sales method in their store. If it is done, I believe his sales performance will definitely improve.
At around 5 o'clock, Tian Ruirui came over, and as soon as she entered the store, she asked Zheng Xin if Lin Lang was there.
"Uh, he went to the customer's house to deliver the machine." Zheng Xin thought Tian Ruirui was looking for him, but he didn't expect Lin Lang to be his target.
"When will you be back? I'll wait for him."
"I guess after get off work."
"Okay! Zheng Xin, you are busy with your work. I will wait for Lin Lang here. Why don't you say that Lin Lang doesn't use his mobile phone, and he can't get in touch."
Zheng Xin hesitated for a moment, but still said: "The store has allocated a mobile phone for him, and I will give you his number if you want to call."
"Okay, then I'll tell him I'm coming."
Zheng Xin looked at Tian Ruirui's way of looking around, with anticipation on his face, and felt a little awkward for some reason.
But Tian Ruirui is also his friend, who helped him in his most difficult time, and he has always been very grateful to Tian Ruirui.
When it was time to get off work, Lin Lang rushed back, and said to Tian Ruirui when he entered the door: "Sorry for keeping you waiting."
Tian Ruirui smiled and said, "No more!"
The two exchanged some pleasantries, and said they were going to have dinner after get off work, and then Tian Ruirui called Zheng Xin to go with them.
Zheng Xin didn't want to go at first, but Lin Lang gave him customer resources today, so he felt the need to thank Lin Lang, so he said, "Let me treat you."
Tian Ruirui immediately smiled and said: "Oh, Zheng Xin treats guests, then I want to eat something good!"
Lin Lang said nothing, and went into the warehouse to change clothes.
The three of them went downstairs to order food at the newly opened Mala Xiangguo, ordered a few more bottles of beer, and sat down to drink.Tian Ruirui was uncharacteristically, not as cheerful as usual, but showing the posture of a restrained little woman.
Zheng Xin said, "Ruirui, why are you suddenly shy?"
Tian Ruirui pursed her lips and said, "No! People have always been like this." While speaking, she glanced at Lin Lang.
Lin Lang kept his head down while eating and drinking, without saying anything.Zheng Xin had goose bumps all over his body.
In fact, the meal was quite boring, and the three of them had nothing to talk about. After eating, Tian Ruirui said that it was dark and dared not leave, and then Lin Lang had no choice but to send Tian Ruirui home.
Zheng Xin walked home alone, feeling a little irritable inexplicably.When entering the corridor to get the key to open the door, suddenly a figure jumped out from behind and held his waist: "Xin Xin!"
Zheng Xin turned his head, his lips were blocked, and Zhou Mingdi's breath came in.
