Chapter Seven, one thousand yuan is gone

With no other choice, Meng Yan could only grit his teeth and settle the bill

The boss's words are very reasonable

When mental strength is reduced to 5 points, a person feels very fatigued, similar to having worked hard all day, and is in urgent need of rest

This time, Ji Xiaomin remembered Meng Yan's name

However, he suddenly had a whimsical idea to try using a jade pendant as a substitute for sleep

Wash up, change clothes, dress neatly, skip breakfast as usual, and head to the company.

In July of last year, the company hired two interns, one of whom was Meng Yan, and the other was Wang Hao's cousin

He had several pieces of work in his pocket, each with a different style, including Han clerical script, European style, Yan style, and Liu style, among others. Thus, he took these works to try his luck, wandering into calligraphy shops along the street to see if he could encounter someone who appreciated them

"I took a leave of absence." Meng Yan frowned

He came up with an idea and said, "Boss, could you help sell it on my behalf? Perhaps we might encounter someone who truly appreciates it."

He simply decided not to sleep and directly restored his energy by observing the jade pendant

... ...

Having received the money, he was ready to find a topic to chat about. However, to his surprise, Ji Xiaomin glanced at the time, shrugged, and said: "It's getting late; I need to close the shop and go home"

"Do you have any objections?" Wang Hao looked at Meng Yan and said arrogantly, "If you have any objections, you can report them to the company. Alternatively, you can also submit your resignation letter."

Logically, at this moment, Meng Yan should be going to bed promptly, as tomorrow is Saturday and he has to be at work by 9:00 in the morning

Speaking of which, Wang Hao's cousin is truly a complete failure; I have heard that he still hasn't found a suitable job.

Previously, progress was rapid; now, it is moving at a snail's pace

Eight o'clock in the morning

Meng Yan hesitated repeatedly, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Alright, please help me frame it. This piece is for sale at 5000; I won't sell it for less. For any amount exceeding 5000, we will split it evenly."

... ...

Ji Xiaomin selected several different models of brushes for Meng Yan, took a few sheets of water-writing cloth, and calculated with a calculator, saying: "In total, it is 512; you can just give 500."

The boss thought for a moment and said: "Selling on behalf of others is also acceptable. However, if it is to be displayed for sale, this piece of calligraphy must be mounted first. Here’s the deal: you give me 500 yuan, and I will mount this calligraphy on a high-quality silk scroll and hang it in my shop. You can set the selling price, and after it is sold, I will take 500 yuan as my commission for the effort."

If I had known earlier, I would not have come in

It is getting late, and Meng Yan leaves Jingxiu Street

"After framing it, I will hang it in a prominent position in the shop." The boss readily agreed

Leave Jingxiu Street and walk home

Meng Yan wanted to ask them to sell on his behalf, but was met with a cold rejection

Of course, Meng Yan would not act recklessly

This individual clearly knows that he took a leave of absence, so he deliberately arranged such a scenario

I can't believe it, just a few brushes, and they are selling for 500 yuan

Upon reaching the master level, the mental exertion involved in practicing calligraphy becomes significantly greater

"Do you want to buy something?" she asked

Five hours consumed 5 points of mental energy

At this pace, practicing calligraphy for five hours each day, it will take a full eight days to completely master the grandmaster level.

Making money through sales is indeed not easy; in the past, I underestimated the complexity of the situation. Even the finest wine fears a deep alley

If it were not for Wang Hao's deliberate targeting, Meng Yan's income could have been even higher, easily reaching 5,000 per month

I cannot afford the things from your home; I just want to get a little closer to you... Meng Yan paused and said: "I would like a few better quality brushes, along with a few sheets of water writing cloth"

Taking sick leave will result in a maximum deduction of performance pay, whereas absenteeism not only leads to a deduction of performance pay but also incurs fines

Wang Hao saw Meng Yan and immediately put on a stern face, questioning: "Why didn't you come to work yesterday?"

"So, in order to sell my writing, I first have to invest 500 yuan, right?" Meng Yan was left speechless

"How should I address the boss?" Meng Yan asked

A visit to Jingxiu Street, and a thousand yuan is gone, my heart aches

He wrote until 2 AM, spending a full five hours, and only then did the calligraphy master improve to 100 / 800

Meng Yan is proficient in both English and Mathematics, capable of teaching both subjects. Although his educational background is not from a prestigious institution, it is still commendable. Therefore, upon the completion of his internship, Meng Yan successfully secured a permanent position, while Wang Hao's cousin was eliminated.

If there is any discomfort in his body, he will promptly stop, honestly go to sleep, and would never joke with his own health

Moreover, Meng Yan discovered that his mental strength had significantly diminished

For him, 8 o'clock is considered an early rise

After some thought, he walked into the store

The framing fee of 500 yuan is still affordable for him; it is better to treat a dead horse as if it were alive. What if he encounters someone who appreciates it?

The internship period is two months, and ultimately only one person can be offered a permanent position

Being overly ingratiating can easily annoy others, so it is better to buy something instead

And - picture - book, damn it, Wang Hao, you are causing trouble again

... ...

Upon arriving at the company, I encountered the team leader, Wang Hao, head-on

I did not receive your leave request, nor did I approve your leave

Of course, whether it can be done specifically still requires testing

I will report this to the company; I believe there will always be someone to uphold justice. Meng Yan was too lazy to waste his breath on someone like Wang Hao, who was clearly trying to make things difficult for him; it was useless to say anything.

It is still about copying the famous works of renowned masters

Meng Yan

If this method is feasible, he will save a considerable amount of sleep time, allowing him to free up time each day to engage in other activities

Open the curtains; the sunlight outside is splendid, and the essence of spring is becoming increasingly pronounced

Mei Liang

After paying 500 yuan and exchanging contact information, Meng Yan left Qingmei Studio

I know that the items in your store are expensive, but this is just too outrageous

The relationship between the two began in July of last year

The hourly fee for the mathematics enhancement class is relatively high, and Wang Hao has never arranged for him to be in charge of the mathematics enhancement class. How is it that he suddenly changed his mind yesterday?

Meng Yan's toothache persists

With nothing much to do, I simply spread out the water writing cloth and picked up the brush to practice calligraphy

As he walked along the way, passing by Ji's calligraphy shop, he saw Ji Xiaomin inside playing on her phone, her profile looking very attractive

Meng Yan is an action-oriented person who takes action as soon as an idea comes to mind

If you want to make money by selling words, you must take this step sooner or later

The beginning is always the hardest part

Meng Yan awakened

The expedition did not go well, and Meng Yan was truly unwilling to accept it

At this point, Wang Hao had developed a hatred for Meng Yan

The five hundred yuan I spent was utterly meaningless

... ...

If it is not framed, how can it be displayed? Surely, one cannot just stick the rice paper onto the glass

I did not receive your leave request, so I scheduled a class for you and assigned you to be responsible for last night's math enhancement class. However, you did not show up. This constitutes an absence from work, and I will handle it as such.

As a result, the owners of these calligraphy shops are completely ignorant, lacking the insight of Mei Liang, and are unable to appreciate the subtleties of the works.

Mental Strength: 5 / 13

Waking up early, the world feels vast; after enjoying the spaciousness, I head to work

Meng Yan: "I requested leave from the Human Resources Department, sick leave!"

A state of mental well-being is indeed more effective than sleep

Wang Hao has always harbored the intention of getting his cousin into the training company, constantly finding fault and targeting Meng Yan, with the aim of pushing Meng Yan out to make room for his cousin

Once one reaches the level of a master in calligraphy, the improvement in skills becomes quite slow

Viewing the jade pendant can also restore mental strength, and the effect is remarkable. His intuition told him that the jade pendant should be able to replace sleep
