Business, all saved.

Slash youth, what an attractive name.

Like many people, I am also a so-called white-collar worker who knocks in front of the computer during the day.

But after work, I want to live a different life at the age of 26.

Part-time job, teaching Chinese, learning French, starting my own business, planning small business, participating in international volunteer trips and writing columns. ......

I am doing all these things, and I have encountered various setbacks while doing them. Indeed, I am not the smart and diligent person. When I am tired, I will be radiant with some experiences.

Please read what to do after work. "Business, all out.

On the first day of the National Day holiday, when all my friends were still tumbling in their dreams, I pushed open the door of a small shop on Shanjia Road. There are red wine bottles, cigarette ashes and barbecue boxes everywhere on the table ... A timid girl in the shop took a half-eaten sandwich and whispered to me, "Are you new here?"

In this way, I started working in a clothing store during the National Day holiday.

The day before the National Day holiday, I accidentally brushed a part-time post on Douban. Think about my boyfriend Xi, who just worked in Xi 'an, and is in a sensitive period when he doesn't want to meet his friends, eat meat and drink. I'm idle at home, so I might as well come out and do a part-time job.

When I found this small shop, I opened two stores. On the left is a small coffee shop that is not open to the public, and on the right is a clothing store that sells shoes, clothes and bags. I met my boss the day I came for an interview. He is Italian-born from China. I looked at the bags of Chanel and Gucci all over the floor and picked up a sweater of maxmara, as if I understood the doubts in my heart. The boss said, "Fake."

Part-time jobs are not particularly heavy, mainly cleaning shops, taking photos, recording orders, greeting guests, maintaining a circle of friends and so on.

The girl who eats sandwiches is called Ruye, a senior. She doesn't talk much, but her voice is soft. I praised her for her beautiful voice, but she didn't say thank you, and there was no expression on her face.

After a few words, I realized that she was a journalism major and asked her why she didn't concentrate on finding a reliable internship. She casually said, "I want to travel with my boyfriend and look for a job when I come back."

Let's cooperate first Although she speaks softly, she is a thoughtful type with a small tattoo on the inside of her arm.

I can't help thinking silently, it's really hard to pretend to be a big sister when communicating with children now, and it's hard to fool them.

We were working when the third part-time girl came. She walked into the shop with short hair, an off-the-shoulder vest and a denim skirt, and a big smile on her face. She said her name was Catherine.

Catherine is a lively girl and got to know each other in a few words. She has just worked for a year, working as HR in a top 500 company, but she has analyzed many boring places in HR with great anxiety.

"I came out to do a part-time job just to save some money and change my job. Although I earn a lot compared with my peers, the money is not too small. "

At dinner, she shared her longing for Western Europe with me. "I especially like the culture of Western Europe. I am going to specialize in languages next year and then study abroad. "

I teased her: "Studying abroad is very expensive. How much money have you saved for a year now? "

She spat out her tongue: "I didn't save any money." It took several months to learn the skills of making a living. "

But she is an optimist. "I want to save enough 20 thousand by the end of this year!"

The boss has a typical European routine, and it is said that he will only enter the store in the afternoon. After lunch, we had nothing to do, and the three of us got together to chat.

In fact, it's mainly because Ru and I listen to Catherine talk endlessly about the importance of making money.

"I will never let my children suffer like me in the future. I must earn more money. Open source and reduce expenditure should be done.

It is really a loss to refuse to come to Shanghai to study in a university. I blame myself for being hurt by my childhood. I think Shanghai is too obsessed with money to come. "

I cocked my head and told her not to push herself too hard. Happiness is the most important.

She said seriously, "The foundation of happiness is money."

Ru Ru doesn't seem to want to interrupt too much, but she still agrees with Catherine.

I look at the opposite commodity building, think about our salary slip, and look at Catherine, who has been so eager to make money and accumulate wealth just one year after graduation, and I am a little anxious. I felt bitter in my heart: is it really good to regard wealth and freedom as the ultimate goal of life?

At 4 o'clock, the boss Kevin came. He is wearing tight jeans, a white shirt and a pair of Gucci white shoes. When he came in, he insisted on drinking cappuccino and told us to iron the cup, otherwise the coffee would not taste good.

Kevin said that he immigrated to Italy at the age of 9, and Catherine asked him why he returned to China. I blurted out, "Make money." The feeling that Kevin was hit in the head.

He taught us to work, and I gradually saw the clue of this industry: these A goods and the so-called original goods were all from Guangzhou, and then he directly added about twice the original price to sell them.

"Winter shoes add 300 yuan, high boots and medium boots add 300 to 400 yuan, and the final price is rounded to 99, so it is 399,799."

I looked at the bags and shoes in the shop, and I was surprised why someone bought this fake. Its flaws were almost obvious at a glance, but his business was really amazing.

"If the daily turnover exceeds 1 10,000, it is possible to open champagne for you." Kevin said it in less standard Mandarin.

We undress, pack, update and make friends in spring and autumn. At half past seven, we didn't have dinner.

Four people of different ages, different income backgrounds and different ideals sat around a wooden table, eating fried dishes and lunch boxes called "Come Back" and watching the news broadcast.

Catherine asked Kevin, "Did you buy a house in Shanghai?"

Kevin raised his eyebrows and said, "Buy a house? Where can I afford it? The opposite houses are all160,000! "

Hit the nail on the head.

So as a summary of the first day out of work.

I did it for a few days and it felt great.

I was born in 1990. Theoretically, I am a so-called post-90s generation, but compared with these young ladies in 1992 and 1994, I am not that old. This is a waste of money. I've been an assistant to the president for so many years.

Help the boss forward the new product to the circle of friends. Just sent it out. If it is 1994, that is to say, didn't I send this yesterday? The price you sent is different from mine.

This small shop has several micro-signals and more than a dozen suppliers. It is always wrong to talk to guests every day.

Just read the price list, when the boss asked, I answered the quotation given by the supplier, and two sisters reminded me.

Basically, I don't like being directed by two sisters. Although they didn't say anything, they could feel their disdain for my low response.

For example, Ru Ru and I are opening two bags that we just sent. After a while, the guests came and Ru Ru and I greeted each other. After I came back, I took a photo of my bag and uploaded it. After a while, Kevin asked why there was only one bag. I asked Ru Ru, did you take a picture? She said, "I'm just greeting the guests. I thought you took it. "

I was speechless after two sentences.

But think about it, yes, we are a team. Why do I always draw my work boundaries so clearly? If I don't help my little friend and my little friend doesn't help me, what can I do?

As a Leo, I really hate being challenged by people younger than myself.

Maybe that's why all my friends are several years older than me.

I remember when I used to work, I always said that people older than me were confused and blaming others was really a spit. I can talk all afternoon.

But look at these two sisters. They are not surprised at all. Everything is in order. If you are also very independent, you have your own ideas about everything. Catherine was injured there when she was fine. She sweeps the floor, mops the floor and washes cups very diligently.

I think people really can't be too arrogant. It's always good to study with your head down.

Especially what you learn from people younger than yourself is more useful to people.

It will be hard, but it will be profound.

Kevin, the boss, is an Italian. He is a little worried. He sleeps during the day and goes out at night. One of them is criticizing our poor hygiene or clamoring for hot cappuccino.

"Catherine, you don't have a hot cup. I told you it was 25 degrees. Besides, you didn't pull this milk bubble well, and this cup is not my special cup. Do it again. "

On the third night of work, Kevin sat with us and talked about everyone's work.

In fact, we gave him a lot of advice behind his back. The most important point is that the functions of each part-time employee should be separated. I didn't expect Kevin to really have a heart-to-heart relationship with us. He lit a cigarette and said in nonstandard Mandarin:

"Observing you for a few days, I feel that I have assigned you different jobs. Catherine is in charge of sales and customer service. If she is also responsible for the operation of WeChat business, as for you ... "He looked at me," I haven't decided what to do for you. "

I was shocked. It was not enough to be rejected by my children, but also by my boss.

Fortunately, the next few days were peaceful.

I found Kevin a workaholic. As long as he is working, no matter his girlfriend at home or abroad, he will automatically sit by and serve them. He will never give up what he is doing to meet them. Kevin, who is a horse like me, guards this small shop with 600,000 stocks every day. He bought goods from Guangzhou and sold them. His daily turnover is 8000 to 1000, but he still refuses to buy a house, refuses to get married, and doesn't even have time to take a vacation.

The only time he left his job was because his relatives in Wenzhou came to see him. He must have emigrated to Italy. His Mandarin is not good, but he still remembers the Wenzhou dialect he always spoke when he was a child. His uncle has a strong nose like him. Kevin said:

"Business is not good, especially for outsiders. I started my business in 2009, and I only had a turnover of 2000 yuan for a long week. The rent has gone up again this month, and such a small shop charges me so much money. That is, the old customers accumulated in recent years are now available. "

Uncle drinking tea to make a concluding speech:

"Business is saved."

Eleven years later, I returned to my familiar job. Looking back on this short part-time experience, I feel that I have learned to pull flowers and be a cappuccino that Italians will not be picky. One day, nothing happened. I also bought a pair of shoes from Kevin's supplier. The purchase price is only 200 yuan. I am very excited to receive this pair of shoes. As a result, my heel was worn in a mess before I got to the subway station.

In my opinion, the value for money is eternal.
