Migrant worker (2)
"Welcome next time!"
Lance politely bowed to the departing customer, having been at the mountain bike shop for nearly a month now. Lance had gradually adapted, transforming from a former young master to a working stiff. He had originally wanted to work at a hotel, but it turned out that getting into one of those places wasn't easy either. Even if he did get in, it would be as a lowly kitchen hand, sigh... what's the use of having graduated from a prestigious university without any work experience?
Lan Qi's job was initially just loading cargo, but unfortunately the boss was not friendly. Although the salary was not low, that arrogant attitude and self-important personality made it hard for people to bear.
"I really don't want to do it anymore. I'm not short of that little money, why bother looking for trouble." This was what Lanchi often said when he first started working.
"People with this kind of personality are everywhere, you can't avoid them now and in the future when you meet similar people, how will you deal with it? You can't always avoid them, right? You should be grateful, after all, you're not working for money, but for experience. It's rare to encounter such a challenging boss. Getting along well with someone who is easy-going isn't your skill, getting along well with someone who has an annoying personality is what really tempers a person! Kafi has a way of turning all difficulties into another perspective, making people not feel it as a burden, but instead face it positively."
Kafi's attitude is always infectious to others.
Under Lanchi's positive efforts, the loading speed has also been gradually improved, and there is a thorough understanding of various types of mountain bikes in the store, knowing what kind of people are suitable for what kind of bike, and what style of bike different ages like.
One afternoon, a middle-aged couple came to the store, saying they wanted to buy a mountain bike for their son. They set their sights on an expensive mountain bike, and the boss enthusiastically touted how great this brand of mountain bike was, etc. The couple's faces gradually became displeased, and then they turned around and walked out of the store without looking back.
The boss's face suddenly turned liver-colored, extremely disappointed, nowhere to vent his anger, and he turned around to roar at Lanchi, "Look at how slow you are when loading the car, customers must have left because they were annoyed. You won't get your wages for today."
Lan Qi was taken aback, slowly standing up, staring at the fat boss with displeasure, trying to restrain himself from throwing the tool in his hand onto this pighead's body. He spoke slowly but menacingly, "Sorry, sir, I think I didn't quite catch what you said just now. Could you repeat it?"
"I'll repeat it again, it's your detestable speed that annoys customers and makes them leave..."
Lan Qi struggled to hold back his anger, "Kafi, sorry, for someone like him, I think I can't tolerate it anymore. Some people are just not meant to be. For some arrogant people, if I try my best and still can't get along with them, then I'll give up!"
"Sir, get it straight, if customers don't buy your stuff, it's a problem with your sales method, how can you blame me?"
"Is there something wrong with my sales method?" The boss thundered, "I've been a boss for 15 years, will my methods be problematic?"
"Give me 15 minutes and I'll prove you wrong!" Lancy suppressed his anger, gave the boss a disdainful look, turned around and left the store.
In less than 15 minutes, the middle-aged couple happily walked back with Lanchi, paid quickly and bought a mountain bike.
"Heavens, can you tell me what method you used to get those two customers to come back?" The boss looked at Lancy in surprise.
"It's a trade secret, can't tell you, give me today's wages and I'm quitting!" Lanchi shrugged indifferently, having had enough of this fat pig, able to endure until now, his own self-cultivation was indeed good!
Looking at the astonished expression of the arrogant foreign boss, Lanchi only felt like bursting out laughing. Did these foreigners think that Chinese people would only submit to their fate and not know how to resist?
"Brother, how have you been lately?"
"It's okay, Kusa and Wendi are very well-behaved."
"Really? Brother, I didn't expect you'd be so suitable for taking care of kids!" Kafi joked with a smile at her own brother.
"It's okay, can you keep up with your studies over there?"
"No problem, how about you?"
"There's no problem now, the hardest time has passed, and everything is thriving." Kaiyun said with a smile.
"Have you started speculating in stocks again?"
"It's not starting again, it has always been there, since I was in China, only at that time I didn't buy foreign stocks."
"Oh, how's it going?"
"Kafi, can I pay a portion of the domestic land money in advance?"
"It doesn't matter, isn't your share of the profits in there? Withdrawing it under the name of Tianfu Star Hotel Management Co., Ltd. should be no problem."
"Haha, that's great, I'm going to make a fortune!"
Are you going into the stock market?
Ka Fei doesn't know which stocks are good now, can only watch his brother struggle!
Hanging up the phone, Lin Kaiyun looked at his desk full of schedules and shook his head helplessly. He really wished he had three heads and six arms. He walked into the bathroom to take a shower and prepare to go out again.
Last week, under the notification of my roommate Darcy, I learned that his aunt's family needed a Chinese person to do 5 hours of housework every week, live with them, exempt from food and accommodation expenses, and have an additional $80 in pocket money per week. After thinking about it, it seemed like a good deal, so I moved there. The location is near the school. Mr. and Mrs. Cadion run their own import and export company, mainly targeting developing countries. Now they seem to want to expand their business in China. They are busy with work and socializing and don't have much time to take care of their children, so they thought of hiring a foreign student to take care of them.
After communicating with the Caiden couple, I found that they have their own views on the current international social development. They think that when their children grow up, they will face international competition, and judging from China's current development momentum, it can be predicted that China will become more competitive in the future. Therefore, when the couple learned that their nephew's university roommate was a Chinese, they hoped to invite this Chinese to take care of their children and teach them Chinese.
After a week of communication and contact, the Caiden couple was very satisfied with this Chinese student.
Kai (Kai Yun's English name) is very considerate, knows etiquette well, and many things are understood with just a hint. Unlike most American students who have bold personalities, Kai is very reserved, perhaps this is the unique charm of Chinese people!
"I came to the United States to study, no matter what work I do is for learning, for experiencing Western culture. Coming here is just a process of learning. In the process of contacting you, not only has my oral English made great progress, but also my understanding of Western culture has been further deepened..."
Kai's explanation greatly increased the good impression that Caidie and her husband had of him. What a sensible child, what an intelligent child! Oh, can't say he's just a child, his maturity is evident in the way he handles things.
"Looks like your boss really appreciates you!" Lan Qi teased Yun online.
"It's okay, they're in IT, they always grasp the trend pretty accurately, maybe they see my potential!" Kaiyun was not subtle at all in front of his companions.
"You're really shameless!" Lan Qi burst out laughing and sent a bomb flying over to Kai Yun.
Lan Qi...
"How's Gu Qing? How has he been lately?"
I also joined the dance association, it's very beneficial to exercise regularly and in the same association you can meet many like-minded friends, so everyone has a lot of common topics, and it's relatively easy-going.
"Where is your little aunt?"
"They still often drive to Stanford to see me, and on weekends my cousin sometimes takes me to their company's business banquets, expanding my social circle and eliminating my sense of strangeness!"
"Wah, we get along best with Gao Qing!" Kafi excitedly shouted in the group.
"Hehe, so-so!"
Only when communicating with old friends can Gu Qing show another side of himself.
"Lan Qi seems to have found another job now!" Gu Qing still understood a bit about everyone's situation.
"Well, I actually fired my previous boss. He was really arrogant and stubborn, if it wasn't for his knowledge of mountain bikes that I could learn from, I wouldn't have been able to tolerate working for someone like him."
"What about our current boss?"
"Not bad, how can I put it? Very much like a businessman!"
"What's the temperament of a merchant?"
"Now, the boss is a Jew and he sells very beautiful porcelain, all casually placed on wooden tables. At that time, I saw two women were about to leave the store when one of them accidentally knocked over a colorful vase on the wooden table at the door with her bag, shattering it into pieces."
If this happened in a store in China, the shop owner would undoubtedly insist on compensation, and the customer would argue reasonably, blaming the shop owner for not placing the goods properly.
However, the boss's attitude was particularly unusual. He walked up to the woman who looked like she didn't know what to do and said, "Sorry, did I scare you?" The woman apologized repeatedly and asked if she needed to pay for it. But the boss said, "You're telling me that things should be placed in a suitable place." Please come again, welcome!
……”
"What's the result?"
"In the end, the woman bought two porcelain items in this store, and her friend said that reading is everywhere."
"This store owner is trustworthy, and I also bought two porcelain items, everyone's happy!" Lanqi posted a big smiley face in the group.
"Domestic businessmen are far inferior compared to him!" Kaiyun let out a sigh.
"It is said that a gentleman loves wealth, but takes it in a proper way. In this way, good reputation is crucial, just like being honest with others can last long. However, looking at the various business books and ways of handling affairs in our country now, they are all teaching people to cheat, teaching people how to be thick-skinned and black-hearted... Why abandon the root and pursue the branches? Lan Qi found it a bit unbelievable."
"What's so strange about that? Nowadays, the whole Chinese society is very impetuous, especially our generation and those born in the 80s. We're all very impatient, we do something today and want to see results tomorrow. We don't have good patience or upbringing, it's all about quick success and gains! " Ka Fei said disapprovingly. This situation is even more noticeable after a few years, especially after the post-80s generation grew up, not to mention those born in the 90s!"
"Hehe, it seems like you can't make money domestically if you don't do it this way."
"Why not give it a try? I think the key to doing business is still integrity. If you believe in integrity, customers will trust you and you can make money. Business, business, first earn people's hearts, then earn money!" Kafi seems to be quite interested in this.
"Alright, let's try it out at the Tianfu Star Business Hotel. I really want to see if this management approach can make a company successful." Kaiyun was also very interested.
"Of course we can, we are honest to our customers, but that doesn't mean we have to be honest with our business rivals too. It's normal for there to be deception and trickery in the business world. I'm reminding you two gentlemen and lady to distinguish between them, don't naively talk about honesty to everyone." Lan Qi said with a smile.
"Of course!"
Work hard!
"Laura?"
"Hey, Rudel, what's up?" Kafi looked at his classmate who studied international situations with him. He had a lot of unique views on the China issue, and Kafi was quite familiar with him. The two of them had debated the Sino-Indian issue many times before.
"This Friday afternoon is the math club's dance party. Would you like to be my partner?"
"Okay, and Ita?" Kafi remembered that there was an Indian girl beside Rüdiger.
"The association she participates in also has similar activities, so I'm counting on you."
"Okay, no problem." Kevin thought for a moment and realized he didn't have anything on Friday afternoon, so he nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll pick you up on Friday afternoon." Despite frequent disputes, both sides still have a certain understanding of each other's situation.
"Laura, are you free on Friday? Let's go out and have some fun." Jesse rarely invited Caffrey.
"I'm really sorry, Jesse. I promised a friend to accompany him to the dance on Friday, sorry!" Kafi apologized, looking at Jesse.
Jie Si's face suddenly fell, "You've also made plans with friends? Forget it."
Looking at Jessie's somewhat disheartened figure, Kafi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, help her out!
Sent a message to Lance, to see if he can take care of Jesse for a bit. I know it's a bit much to ask, but what can you do when you're roommates?
After being together for a long time, although I don't particularly appreciate Jesse's self-deprecating personality, if no one helps a girl like Jesse, she might really become one of the eliminated ones!
Isn't this too cruel for a girl?
"You're really kind, aren't you? You just sold me out?" Lancy glared at Kafi, who was being completely clueless. She had refused to hang out with him over the weekend and instead agreed to go to a dance party with that guy Mordel.
"Others don't call you Model, they call you Rudder." Kafi smiled and comforted Lance, knowing it was a bit unfair to Lance, but somehow he couldn't be polite in front of Lance.
"Yes, Rudel, what's that guy doing?" Lanch had a strong sense of crisis and was determined to nip all threats in the bud.
"Rudel, an Indian, is that guy I told you about who always argues with me in class..."
"Ah!" Lanchi felt relieved, in a great mood, haha, this kid has no chance. Having grown up with Kafi since childhood, he was very clear that Kafi was an out-and-out nationalist in some respects, and had some deep-seated prejudices against the Japanese, Indians, and Indonesians.
"Go tell Jesse for me, I have something on Friday and ask her how it is?"
"Thank you very much."
"What's your thanks for me?" Lancy didn't rely on it and asked for more.
"What do you want?" Kafi's eyes sparkled as she looked at Lanchi.
"Never mind, let's talk about it later, I owe you one for now!"
"Yes, Young Master Lan!"
On Friday evening, Rudder dressed up and came to the dormitory building of Kafi with a bouquet of flowers. Several men who were waiting for their female companions had already gathered under the dormitory building, and everyone smiled at each other tacitly.
Kafi came out wearing an evening gown with Lona Karlin, and compared to well-developed Western girls, Kafi was indeed an ugly duckling. Unfortunately, this ugly duckling had no 'self-awareness' at all, still full of unparalleled pride and confidence, and elegantly took the bouquet from Rudel's hand.
Rudel was impressed by this petite Chinese girl. From the multiple debates between them, it can be seen that this Chinese girl's thinking is very agile. At the beginning of the school year, when discussing some issues, she did not stand out, and in several classes, she did not speak up voluntarily, even if she spoke, she was stuttering. Later, it was found that her English level limited her speech, but unexpectedly, just over a month later, when this Chinese girl could express herself fluently in English, the rigorous logical thinking ability she showed shocked many Western students.
Her sharp arguments on questions and thorough analysis of a problem have shown her good comprehensive quality, and the name Laura has been gradually accepted by other students.
The strong patriotic sentiment she showed may be the key to why most people remember her, because most people have argued with her about issues related to China.
She loved to smile, with a faint smile always on her face, and when she smiled, two small dimples appeared, looking very cute, which was the detail observed by Rudel after noticing Laura.
"You look beautiful today!" Rüdiger gazed at Laura, who had piled her hair high on top of her head and secured it with bobby pins, adorned with a few small pendants, paired with a black little dress, silver jewelry, looking extremely pretty.
"Thank you!"
Harvard's dance party is also a formal social occasion, providing students with an opportunity to interact. The association's dance party serves two purposes: on the one hand, it promotes communication between new and old members within the association; on the other hand, it also observes some new members who perform well through the dance party.
Under Ruder's lead, Kaffee stepped into the dance hall and began his first Harvard mixer.
"Do you want to be successful? Then work hard!"
This is often heard in Harvard.
Harvard is very strong, so strong that its students are popular all over the world. Outsiders see the halo of a famous school and the achievements of those who have succeeded, but no one knows that behind every success there are hardships that others do not know about. Almost all the stories of being composed, dignified and confident are filled with hard work.
Few people know that Harvard's advice to students is: If you want to be able to handle any situation with ease and get the recognition you deserve after entering society, then there is no time for sunbathing during your studies at Harvard.
A popular saying at Harvard goes: After harvesting in autumn, busy with autumn planting; study, study and study again.
This is the style of a famous school, this is the story behind a famous school.
Kafi looked at her packed schedule and let out a sigh.
When being busy becomes a habit, 15 minutes of leisure time also becomes exceptionally luxurious!
The only fortunate thing is that we have already adapted to such a fast-paced life. If it slows down, we may not be able to get used to it!
Every single homework is completed with utmost seriousness, and having learned from the previous lesson of Lan Qi, no one dares to take lightly any teacher's in-class assignments.
However, as a result, in this fast-paced and high-intensity life, Kafi feels that his gains over the past three months are comparable to those of previous years. If he continues at this rate, Kafi thinks he understands why students from top schools have much stronger competitiveness after graduation - it's all earned through hard work and sweat!
I habitually write down my different thoughts every day on my blog, my work every day, my daily struggles, sometimes my decadence, and the ways I encourage myself are all written on my blog. I don't have much time to write letters, so I use this way to tell my distant relatives that I'm doing well.
Kai Yun Gu Qing and Lan Qi also wrote their own mood stories on their blogs, sometimes it's quite fun, the same thing can be seen from different people's perspectives. Later, under friends' suggestions, the four blogs were merged into one, so domestic friends don't have to open four blogs to understand the situation of the four people.
The one who updates most frequently is Ka Fei. Almost every day there are updates. It seems she has adapted the fastest and with the least difficulty.
Yu Xi Bin looked at Kai Fei's life abroad bit by bit, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
From her blog, I learned that she finally passed the beginner training of foil fencing and can now proceed to intermediate training. Her coach said that she has a special talent for foil fencing, but it's just comforting words. She is actually quite pleased with herself, sometimes Ka Fei is so innocent and lovely!
She will choose to believe many things she wants to believe and listen to many things she wants to hear.
"Brother? Are you smiling?" Yu Xi Yin looked at her brother with some surprise, as he had always been very serious and reserved, not one to smile easily.
"Xi Yin, come here." Looking at his sister who was about the same age as Lin Kai Fei, Yu Xi Jin called out to her in a gentle tone.
"Do you remember Lin Kaifei?"
"Na Lan Xun?" Yu Xi Yun's eyes lit up, of course knowing that her brother and Lin Kai Fei knew him, Na Lan Xun was her favorite author!
"This is her blog, come and take a look when you have time. This is the password. Learn from others more, she is as old as you."
"Ah!" Yu Xi Yin, who had been spoiled since childhood, rarely obeyed others, but towards Lin Kai Fei she was truly obedient!
"Wow, that's amazing!" Yu Xi yin exclaimed while reading Lin Kaifei's diary, "People are really different from one another!"
"There's nothing different about her, what she can do, you can also do, she just paid more sweat than others." Looking at the schedule posted by Caffey for one day, I really admire that she can still smile.
