I finally completed the company's tasks on time, and because the software was running very well, I was promoted to the director of the technical department. This means that my value in the company is recognized, and it also means that my income is more substantial.
I feel very happy about the promotion of my position, I want to celebrate it, but I feel inappropriate; it is not shameful to show off this small achievement! Thinking about it, I felt that it was most affordable to treat myself, and I needed a set of clothes suitable for formal occasions.
After work, I strolled to a large shopping mall. I rarely visit such malls, not only because I lack leisure and elegance, but more importantly, I am shy.
Walking through the clothing area, looking at the many brands of clothing of various styles, I felt dazzled, my head was also bigger, and I didn't know which clothes to choose. Just when I was about to abandon today's shopping plan, I suddenly froze.
I saw Zhuo Ying walking by, that slender figure, walking posture, as if it had always been in my mind.
I blurted out, "Zhuo Ying." ”
Zhuo Ying stood still and followed the sound until she saw me. I walked towards her...
"Oh, what a coincidence!" Zhuo Yingwan smiled.
I was speechless. Why call her? Why call her so abruptly? Is it just because they met again? Feeling a little embarrassed, I scratched my head and said casually, "You're here too." ”
"I'll buy some cosmetics." Zhuo Ying's answer was calm and elegant.
How I wish she had asked herself something like "What are you doing here" to relieve her embarrassment, but no, she didn't say anything more.
"Me, I came to buy clothes, and when I saw you, I just..." I was a little incoherent.
"You haven't bought it yet?"
"Yes. Picked the eye, didn't know which one was right for me, just wanted to give up. "I naturally showed a look of help.
"Trust me?"
"Of course, of course. It's just your time..."
"Idle is idle anyway. Tell me what occasion you want to wear..."
I admired Zhuo Ying's vision: she didn't ask me how big the number I was wearing, what style and color I liked, but every outfit she instructed the salesman to bring me to try on made me feel very suitable.
Now it is Zhuo Ying who is not satisfied, she tirelessly picks and chooses, let me try on one set after another, and I am like a puppet, at her mercy.
Sometimes, I even feel embarrassed: let a salesman take several sets, one by one, after trying on them, she can always pick out the faults; watching the salesman pouting, elongating his face, and full of complaints, dissatisfied with the clothes he tried to wear, he is really a little too unwilling to go, is it time to settle a set? But she said "thank you" casually, and then changed to another one to continue to choose...
After two circles around me, looking up and down carefully at the clothes he tried on, Zhuo Ying was finally satisfied with the clothes she had chosen.
"Sir, your girlfriend is so good at picking clothes, she has a good eye!" Look, you're wearing this dress as if it's made just for you. The salesman exclaimed with a compliment.
"Is it?" I glanced at Zhuo Ying, her face a little warm, and used perfunctory to hide her inner panic. Secretly in my heart: Alas! You unsuspecting girl, shouldn't you annoy her?
Zhuo Ying was still graceful and calm, without a trace of embarrassment, nor did she show a trace of anger, but urged me to say: "Don't take pictures there, let people put them away for you." ”
"Hey... ay! I hurriedly agreed and hurried to the dressing room.
"Sister, you are so beautiful, your skin is still so good."
"Really? Thank you! Zhuo Ying smiled. See me come over and say, "That's it?" ”
"Yes, that's it. Miss, let's make a list. I shouted at the salesman.
"Don't worry, put away your clothes first." Zhuo Ying stopped and glared at me with disgust, obviously I had provoked her. Did it rob her of her decision-making power?
"I like the clothes, but I don't open the list, what are you waiting for?" I muttered in my heart, and the second monk was confused and did not dare to squeak again.
"Sister, can I drive now?" The salesman asked.
"Yes, but how much discount will you give me?" Zhuo Ying stared at her and asked.
"Oh, my beautiful sister, this is a new model, no discount."
"Impossible. Apply for me. ”
"Really, sister."
"Then I'll go straight to your store manager."
"Well, well, my permissions can only be 97% off." The salesman's face was a little unpleasant, and his attitude was not so enthusiastic.
"Ask me for a minimum price, and next time I'll come to you to buy clothes." Zhuo Ying still stared firmly at the salesman.
"Sister, don't embarrass me."
Zhuo Ying tilted her head, didn't speak, and still stared at her like that.
"Well, I'll give you a membership price and enjoy 15% off, but you'll need to get a replacement membership card." That's all, it's still a violation. ”
"No problem, do it." Zhuo Ying showed a satisfied smile of the victor...
This shopping experience made me admire Zhuo Ying. Zhuo Ying's meticulous shopping, unique vision of choosing clothes and skillful bargaining skills have left a deep impression on him. What kind of exercise and understanding is required to have such experience and ability?
Time slipped away unconsciously, and by the time we walked out with our clothes, more than an hour had passed.
"Thanks to you today, otherwise I would have given up." Just wasted so much time on you. ”
"There's no waste. It's the joy of shopping, and I enjoy it: wouldn't it be fun to pick out the best target for you in the midst of a dizzying array of disorganized items? It's like picking the one you're most satisfied with on a hillside full of flowers, and it's a very pleasant search. ”
Listening to Zhuo Ying's high argument, I couldn't help but say: "Shopping still contains such a wonderful fun. But you're awesome! In fact, in the case of people clearly marking the price, you can also negotiate discounts. ”
"It's not about that, it's just experience. Only a man like you, who is complimented by others for a few words, is oblivious, and happily offers the money with both hands, as if it is not your own money; don't you know that people are secretly laughing at you in their hearts. ”
I scratched my head, not paying attention to her ridicule.
"If your time permits, I'll invite you to dinner." I made an invitation.
"For what? Shopping today? Zhuo Ying tilted her head and looked at him.
"I... Not all of them, that... What the... Right! I would like to ask you to share my little achievements and promote my position. "I felt like I might be rejected, and suddenly I became very nervous and actually moved out of the reason for the promotion.
"That's something to celebrate!" Zhuo Ying smiled.
After eating, the night is already very thick, and the city lights are shining again, highlighting its prosperity. As usual, I sent Zhuo Ying to the door of the community and watched her go away.
The late autumn night is chilly, the moonlight is sprinkled all over the earth, and there are few pedestrians walking on the streets. As I strolled down the street, my mind was still flashing with the scene of buying clothes, Zhuo Ying's eyes, appearance, demeanor and tone of voice, as if they appeared in front of my eyes, and hovered around my ears.
This enigmatic girl, so free in the mall, seems to have no goods she does not understand, no business secrets she does not know, how much time and money does it take to practice? In particular, she can grasp men's clothing with ease, who has she bought clothes for? And who is paying for her? Now the girl, ah, really incomprehensible!
Suddenly, I felt a shiver, as if a needle had pierced my heart and made my body cold. Memory, like a long pen stirring up the lake of my heart, stirred up the past that was silent in my heart, and the colic spread like a circle of ripples, filling the whole body.
I think of Zhu Yu, I think of our first love, that bitter memory that can't be looked back...
How did this memory, which had been sealed for two years, come out inexplicably? That unforgettable first love can actually make me so heartbroken!
After experiencing this catastrophe of feelings, I have come to know this turbulent and changing society, and I seem to understand some of the truths of life.
Today's society is full of the power of change, and change makes people's mood so impetuous that sometimes they even lose their way. Life events such as the pursuit of happiness are also wrapped in the cloak of wealth, fame and fortune, and even showing off, and only then do they seem to have happiness.
As for innocent love, it seems to have become a luxury, hiding in a forgotten corner like a shy little girl.
Some girls are even more anxious, saying that it is also, who does not want to take advantage of the young and beautiful to live a beautiful and luxurious life? No matter whether you are happy or unhappy, no matter what kind of relationship, the rich, famous, and powerful people can be successful, so there are rumors of little three, mistresses, and so on. Even if some girls meet a promising boyfriend, it will also grow up, after all, youth is easy to pass away, how can you wait and consume?
"Maybe it's my bias, but hopefully it's bias." I thought so.
What kind of person is Zhuo Ying? I don't understand...
