The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen pedaled the bicycle fiercely all the way. The cover of the bicycle bell was stolen. He pressed the handle of the bicycle bell and made a clicking sound. Zhang Chen could only keep shouting "give up, give up". Jean, I'm sorry Jean.

He hurried to Hangcheng Building, took the elevator upstairs, and arrived at Qu Tianlin's company. The door was open. Zhang Chen walked in but didn't see the little girl. When he walked to the back room, he saw the little girl and Qu Tianlin. Two people were sitting across from each other, eating noodles.

Zhang Chen clicked twice on the open door. Qu Tianlin turned around and saw him. She still had noodles in her mouth and said vaguely: "You're here."

Zhang Chen quickly said: "Hello, sister Tianlin, you eat slowly, I will sit outside for a while."

Qu Tianlin raised the hand holding the chopsticks and shook it twice, swallowed the noodles in her mouth, and said to the little girl opposite, "Go outside."

Then he said to Zhang Chen: "Come here, I'll tell you while I'm eating. It's empty now, but soon there will be people here again."

The little girl picked up the noodles and walked over, smiled at Zhang Chen, and walked outside.

Zhang Chen sat down at the seat where she had just sat.

While eating noodles, Qu Tianlin said to Zhang Chen: "Well, there is a printing and dyeing company in Keqiao. They want to print a picture album for the Canton Fair. They haven't found a designer yet, so I recommended you.

"Originally, our Shenzhen factory could help him with the design, but I thought it would be too troublesome and time-consuming to send the design draft back and forth for confirmation. They are still in a hurry for this job, so I thought of letting you take over the job. "

Zhang Chen felt happy, it was indeed a good thing, and he quickly said: "Thank you, Sister Tianlin!"

"Have you ever designed a picture album before?" Qu Tianlin asked.

Zhang Chen said honestly no.

"It's not difficult at all. As for design, it's pretty much the same. Just master a few key points and rules. The key lies in the designer's vision and ability. Where the vision is there, the designed things will not be wrong, don't you think?"

Zhang Chen nodded. He felt that Qu Tianlin was right. There were thousands of designed paths, but they were all accessible.

Qu Tianlin put the unfinished noodles on the side of the table, stood up, walked to the cabinet behind her, took out a few picture albums, opened them in front of Zhang Chen, and introduced some of the simplest printing methods from opening to printing. Terminology, and then talked to him about the things that need to be paid attention to when designing a picture album and selecting pictures. Zhang Chen quickly understood.

"Do you have time in the afternoon?" Qu Tianlin asked.

Zhang Chen said yes.

"You haven't found a job yet?"

"I found it. I didn't work for a month and lost it again." Zhang Chen said embarrassedly.

"What's going on?" Qu Tianlin asked.

Zhang Chen probably told Qu Tianlin about the secret cellar. Qu Tianlin first said it was a pity and that it would be great if this place was built.

She looked at Zhang Chen and said, "You are also unlucky to be involved in such a mess. Hangzhou is still different from the Special Economic Zone. Do you feel a little uncomfortable?"

Zhang Chen agreed: "A bit, in Hainan, I feel that everyone cares more about performance. If you perform well, no one else will blame you. Even the boss will try to curry favor with you. Here, everyone spends their energy on such personal grudges. And intrigues."

"That's right. I didn't get used to it when I first came back. I'll get better gradually. This person is a very strange animal. His ability to adapt to the environment is too strong. Hey, regardless of this, you can go to Keqiao in the afternoon and go directly to sign. Contract, get the information, okay?”

Zhang Chen said yes.

"I've also negotiated the fee for you, one thousand yuan."

"so much?"

"It's not much. This is the price in Hangzhou. If it's more expensive in Shenzhen, our factory will have to design it for them. The design fee is 3,000, so if they counter-offer, you just insist on it. Do you understand?"

Zhang Chen nodded and said yes.

Qu Tianlin collected the picture albums, handed them to Zhang Chen, and said to him:

"You can bring these with you for reference when designing. Also, you can show them to them and let them choose what form they want to use. Just say, these are all designed by you. If they have other requirements, you can Let me tell you directly, do you understand?"

Zhang Chen was embarrassed and said: "This..."

Qu Tianlin looked at him and said with a smile: "Why, are you embarrassed to brag?"

Zhang Chen said yes.

"What should we do? Tell them that you have never designed a picture album before, and this is your first time?"

Zhang Chen looked at Qu Tianlin and didn't know how to answer. He felt that it was inappropriate to say such things to customers, as it was like courting death.

Qu Tianlin sighed softly and cursed: "You are still honest."

When Qu Tianlin scolded like this, there was a kind of intimacy in his tone, which made Zhang Chen think of Zhong Yaqiong and felt warm in his heart.

"I know your ability, and I know that you will have no problem doing this job, but people don't know. When people spend so much money, they must feel that the money is well spent. This is to give people a little confidence, not necessarily You're lying to others, do you understand? To say it's a lie, it's also a white lie, just to make things smooth and smooth, do you understand?"

Qu Tianlin said, a little anxious. It seemed that if Zhang Chen could not receive the order smoothly, she would be more anxious than Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen couldn't help but laugh. He said okay, I understand, thank you Sister Tianlin.

Qu Tianlin let out a long breath and said, this is the right time, get some enlightenment.

After she finished speaking, she picked up the phone on the table and dialed. When the call was connected, Qu Tianlin said into the phone:

"Mr. Ni, I'm Qu Tianlin, hello, hello! If the designer I told you can spare some time this afternoon, I'll ask him to come over. By the way, you ask Director Li to cooperate with me and move quickly. Try to finish it in the afternoon and don't make people have to make another trip. They are very busy, so it is not cost-effective to always go to Keqiao for such a small job."

Zhang Chen was listening on the side and almost laughed. He was wandering around all day, an unemployed person, so busy. Qu Tianlin made him look like a big shot.

Qu Tianlin saw Zhang Chen suppressing a smile and knew what he was thinking. She glared at him. Zhang Chen quickly sat up straight and straightened his expression.

Qu Tianlin laughed to herself. She spoke to the phone again, her voice a little squeaky: "Mr. Ni, this designer is my younger brother. He is not very good at talking. As you know, not all art people are like this. You can't bully him, or I'll settle the score with you.

"Of course. I will definitely keep an eye on it for you. Don't worry. If you don't do it well, it will be my face, right? Okay, let's not talk about it. I'll ask him to come directly to you in the afternoon. Are you all in the company? Okay, that’s it.”

Qu Tianlin hung up the phone, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote the name and address of the company and Mr. Ni's name and phone number.

Qu Tianlin said while writing: "Do you think I'm bragging on your behalf again?"

Before Zhang Chen spoke, Qu Tianlin continued: "I have read your works and know that you have this ability, otherwise I would not dare to recommend you. Also, you are just out of work for the time being, and you have this ability." , it’s not lost, don’t look down on yourself, do you understand?”

Zhang Chen nodded and said, "I understand, thank you Sister Tianlin!"

"You call me sister, and she will tell you that we are just a fish trapped in the shallows now. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Straighten your back, and I will watch you leap over the dragon's gate."

"Okay, thank you Sister Tianlin, I will try my best." Zhang Chen said, feeling a little choked in his throat.

After Qu Tianlin finished writing, he folded the paper in half, handed it to Zhang Chen, and said to him: "Go to the South Bus Station and take a bus. There are many buses there that go directly to Keqiao. They can also go to Shaoxing, Shangyu, Zhuji, Ningbo and so on. They all pass through Keqiao."

Zhang Chen said yes.

"By the way, their pictures were all taken by their office director, Director Li. He is a photography enthusiast and his level is not bad. Remember, no matter whether the pictures he provides do not meet your requirements, let him He will take you around the company and take another roll of photos according to your request, using positive film, he knows.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, this positive film is also called a reversal film. We use this for printing."

Zhang Chen still didn't understand a little and couldn't help but ask: "Sister Tianlin, why does he have to take another picture if the picture does not meet the requirements?"

Qu Tianlin said: "Taking photos is his specialty, but don't forget that you are the expert when it comes to designing albums. How can you have no requirements at all and use whatever they give you? Do you understand?"

Zhang Chen said he understood, he really understood, he just wanted him to pretend to be a veteran and suppress the opponent in terms of momentum.

Zhang Chen said goodbye to Qu Tianlin, rode his bicycle to the South Bus Station, parked the bicycle in the parking lot of the station, and bought a ticket for the latest trip to Keqiao.

Hangzhou is very close to Keqiao, fifty kilometers away and can be reached in more than an hour.

Thank you Qianqian dad for your monthly ticket! Thank you for every recommendation vote and reading!
