Chapter 79 Tower Keeper
Author: Cat Entropy
In the evening, Su Li and Chen Peng chatted for a long time.
Su Li didn't hide anything from him and told Chen Peng the whole story.
Chen Peng was a little worried: "Are you sure that order will match our lacquerware?"
"In our current situation, we have to rush if we have a chance. What if we have a chance? We can't be picky. Let's try it first."
Su Li's words were rough, but Chen Peng didn't feel very excited after hearing it, and even felt a little depressed.
"The studio has indeed taken a step back compared to before, but there is no other way, right? The companies or clients we used to deal with were indeed relatively high-end, but the current situation is like this.
We can only do as much work as we have the ability to do."
Su Li enlightened him earnestly, but there was a complete silence on the other side.
It's not that Chen Peng doesn't understand the truth, it's just that the gap between before and after is too big, and he can't get over the hurdle in his heart.
He snorted coldly, "Su Li, you said our studio was so beautiful in the past. People would line up to make reservations with us. But since that incident happened, let alone haute couture.
We can't even receive the most ordinary orders, and people think we're unlucky, so we blocked them all early."
In the past, when I went out to participate in events, I would be picked up and delivered by car, and the lacquerware would be fully insured, and there would even be security guards delivering it.
But now not only do I have to go by myself, but I also have to decide whether to take a taxi or take the subway based on the distance of my destination. The lacquerware can only be dragged there in my suitcase.
It's really hard to accept the treatment that is in the sky and on the ground. It's reasonable to have emotions. Su Li thinks it's understandable.
A while ago, I was working around the master again, and I had no income for a long time. I finally got an order, and the response was good. People were also willing to match up, and I didn't expect that I borrowed Wang Huaijin's help.
Listening to Chen Peng's complaints, Su Li thought back to his own process of handling things during this period.
It seems that since I took over the studio, I haven't done very well, and it has even failed.
At night, Su Li was walking alone on the beach. The late night wind was slightly cold, and her heart was involuntarily confused. Before she knew it, Su Li had walked to the nearby lighthouse.
A lighthouse is a tower-shaped luminous navigation beacon built near key parts of the waterway. It is a fixed navigation beacon. Its basic function is to guide ships to navigate or indicate dangerous areas (often used to mark dangerous coasts, dangerous sandbars or reefs, and access routes).
channel at the port mouth).
Depending on the size of the lighthouse and the characteristics of its location, the lighthouse can be guarded or unguarded. Important lighthouses should be guarded.
Su Li stood under the lighthouse. She felt that she was like a ship stranded in the sea. She could only find her way back by relying on the guidance of the lighthouse.
But now, she seems to have become someone else's lighthouse, or the person who keeps the lighthouse. She must light up herself first before the stranded ship can see hope of returning.
Su Li hesitated for a long time, took two deep breaths, and patiently called Chen Peng back.
She told him on the phone, "The difficulties now are temporary and we need to overcome them together. I hope you can sort out your mentality and go to that small ordering meeting with me. Only we can go together. I
Only then will you have more confidence.”
"Su Li, I'm not afraid of difficulties, I'm just afraid of not seeing hope. I will go with you this time. If there is still no gain, I may not be able to continue spending time with you." Chen Peng's tone was very sincere.
Su Li made a difficult decision. She knew that Chen Peng's family conditions were also very ordinary. If he still had no income, he could only go back and find a comfortable but ordinary job according to his family's requirements.
"Okay! This is the last time. Let's work together for the last time. I promise you that no matter what the ending is, it's up to you to decide whether to stay or go after the end."
Back home, Su Li was already in tears.
It was the first time she felt so helpless, and now even the Seventh Senior Brother couldn't hold on anymore. It turned out that she was doing too poorly and failed to run the studio well.
As soon as Xia Xinglan opened the door, he saw Su Li as if he had lost his soul, "Xiao Lili, why are your eyes swollen like walnuts?"
Su Li didn't reply, just buried himself in the quilt and cried bitterly.
Xia Xinglan knew Su Li. She was usually quite an optimistic girl, but it was impossible for an optimistic person to have an emotional breakdown for no reason, so something must have happened.
"Xiao Lili, what's the matter? Can you tell me? Is it that scumbag Wang Huaijin again?"
When Su Li heard the words "Wang Huaijin", her crying voice began to become smaller and she gradually began to sob, "No, it's not him! It's about work! I feel like I'm terrible and can't do anything well."
"Didn't you just tell me yesterday that there was a new event? Why did you do this again today? Did something like this happen?"
Xia Xinglan moved her head from the quilt to his lap, and gently stroked her back with his hand.
Su Li choked up and said: "Senior Brother Seventh. He wants to give up. He said this is the last time he will attend an event with me. If the studio still doesn't get better, he will leave the studio."
Xia Xinglan was not happy. This was clearly bullying her sisters!
Then can she let others bully her like this?
That certainly can’t be done!
Xia Xinglan: "What? That bitch Chen Peng? Is he still a man? He wants to leave you and run away?"
Su Li looked at her with tears in his eyes, "No, don't say that to him. It's not easy for him. It's me! I didn't do it well!"
These words made Xia Xinglan so angry that her eyes almost rolled out of her head, "You didn't do a good job in co-writing? Did they all do a good job?"
As soon as she rolled up her sleeves, she stared at Su Li with her hands on her hips, and took two more sips of wine to strengthen her courage, "Su Li, I've really been holding back some words for a long time. The reason I didn't have an attack before was because you were in good condition. Now
I'm starting to go crazy!"
Su Li stopped crying immediately and stared blankly at her going crazy.
"Only your studio! Just your master and wife? Damn! The studio went bankrupt and I didn't know it was handed over to you? Why did you go there earlier? And your senior brothers, they are all more experienced than you! Why?
You didn’t inherit the studio? Everyone knows it’s a mess! He can run faster than anyone else, and your seventh senior brother, to put it bluntly! He just wants to use you to take orders and share a piece of the pie with you. You’re the one who’s stupid.
Shale, I really don’t understand what you are enjoying? If it doesn’t work, we will withdraw!”
