That's a lot of stuff, and the bonus is quite a lot, at least two months' salary.

"Sister Liu, I am seconding you, you can't deduct their benefits and bonuses!" Zhang Junping said jokingly.

"You, Store Manager Zhang, still care about this little thing? If you slip something casually between your fingers, it is no more valuable than any welfare bonus." Sister Liu teased me.

"That's different!" Zhang Junping laughed.

I chatted with Sister Liu for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Sitting behind the desk, drinking tea, and thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with me staying in the office.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Junping got up and went to the old store manager's office, said hello and left the painting store.

Riding a bicycle to Xinhua Bookstore.

After walking around, I found that Xinhua Bookstore actually had many rare ancient books for sale.

Some were printed after the founding of the People's Republic of China, some were printed during the Republic of China, and there were even printed books for sale during the Qing Dynasty.

Zhang Junping was not polite and directly bought all the rare ancient books he saw, whether they were printed in the Qing Dynasty or printed after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Today is not a weekend, so there are not many people in Xinhua Bookstore.

There are twos and threes, mostly students.

Use the pocket money given by your family to buy an extracurricular book.

Zhang Junping became very eye-catching.

In fact, even on weekends when there are many people, it is still eye-catching.

People always buy two copies.

It's not like him, who just goes to the checkout counter one by one.

"Comrade!" Just when Zhang Junping turned around and picked up the second pile of books, a salesperson stopped Zhang Junping.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

"Comrade, which unit do you belong to? Are you sure you buy all these books?" Zhang Junping was dressed like a cadre, so the salesperson did not regard him as a troublemaker, but just confirmed whether he really bought it.

"Comrade, I want these books and all these." Zhang Junping pointed to the ground and picked out the books and said with a smile.

"Are you buying this book for your company? Which company do you belong to?" the saleswoman asked curiously.

"I am from BJ Painting Store, and I bought these books for myself." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"I know BJ Painting Shop. It used to be a subordinate unit of ours, but now I heard that it is being moved away by the local government.

You bought so much, can you come here to see it?" The salesperson enthusiastically helped Zhang Junping move the books.

Years ago, handsome boys were as popular as beautiful girls.

"Look carefully, many of the books here are out of print or about to be out of print.

I’ll buy it and take it home and take a look at it.” Zhang Junping explained with a smile.

"Then you must be very knowledgeable, right? Are you a college student who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts?" The little girl was very talkative and said this to Zhang Junping while helping him move books.

"I am not a college student. It is precisely because I have never gone to college that I have to study more and enrich myself."

"You really love learning." The salesperson praised with a smile.

Not to mention, the little girl has a pretty pretty smile, a very pure smile, which is very contagious.

"It's not bad! When I was in school, I didn't like studying. It was only after I started working that I realized the importance of studying." Zhang Junping responded to the salesperson's words casually.

He could tell that the little girl had a good impression of him and was very bold, daring to take the initiative to strike up a conversation.

Unfortunately, Zhang Junping did not dare to provoke the other party.

Such a little girl must not be messed with, once she is messed with.

Her passion will be like a moth flying into a flame, burning herself into a ball of fire and burning the other person into ashes.

Therefore, although Zhang Junping is used to talking nonsense, he can still tell who is right.

His flirting only targets young married women.

They are all married people and have met each other before. Most of them would not take a few harmless jokes seriously.

Zhang Junping picked a lot of books and hugged him more than a dozen times before he finished them.

After paying the money, Zhang Junping felt a little worried.

I originally planned to buy a dozen books to enrich my bookcase.

The bookcases in the office are empty and unsightly.

It was inconvenient to take out the books in the space, so I came to Xinhua Bookstore to buy books.

As a result, I didn’t stop the car all of a sudden and bought more than 200 books. How to get them back?

"Turn left when you go out. Not far away, there are often carts waiting to bring goods." Seeing Zhang Junping's dilemma, the salesperson enthusiastically paid Zhang Junping's attention.

"Thank you, comrade!" Zhang Junping thanked him and went out to call a truck.

Help yourself to take the books to the art store, because Xinhua Bookstore is not far from the art store, they are both on the same street.

Therefore, the cart driver only needs 20 cents.

When they arrived at the painting shop, Chen Lijun and Guo Meizhen were very enthusiastic. They called several framing apprentices down and helped Zhang Junping move the books upstairs.

"Manager Zhang, why did you buy so many books?" Chen Lijun asked with a smile.

"I'm not pretending to be a cultured person! Our art shop is also a place where literati gather. If I don't have any books in my office, how can I be embarrassed to deal with those literati?" Zhang Junping said jokingly.

"Giggle! Manager Zhang, what a sense of humor!" Chen Lijun giggled at Zhang Junping's words.

"Sister Chen, I am telling the truth! Compared to our old store manager, I am just a layman who smells like copper. Buy some books and let the smell of books dilute the smell of copper." Zhang Junping explained seriously.

It made some older ladies laugh out loud.

Several elder sisters helped organize the books one by one and put them on the bookshelves in categories.

"Thank you Sister Chen and Sister Guo. There are so many books. Without your help, I would have to break my legs to carry them up." After finishing, Zhang Junping politely thanked me.

"Manager Zhang, there's no need to be polite to us. We are all common people and we just like a tacky leader like you. I'll just give you a few more benefits during the Chinese New Year." Guo Meizhen said with a hearty smile.

"Okay! That's no problem!" Zhang Junping also laughed and said: "Such a tacky request must be met!"

While they were joking with Chen Lijun and Guo Meizhen, a lady on duty downstairs walked into the office with two people, "Manager Zhang, these two young comrades said they were your apprentices and came to report to you."

"Master!"

"Master, we are here!" Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang walked into the office and shouted excitedly.

"Sister Zhao, they are indeed my apprentices, please excuse me." Zhang Junping thanked Zhao Yali first, then looked at Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang and said with a smile: "You guys came very quickly!"

"Master is calling, we must come quickly!" Li Wenjuan playfully stepped forward and took Zhang Junping's arm.

"Come, let me introduce you to them. These two are Sister Chen and Sister Guo. The person who is sending you up is Sister Zhao."

"Aunt Chen, Aunt Guo, Aunt Zhao!" Li Wenjuan said hello one by one with a sweet mouth.

Xia Guoxiang then called people and said hello.

"You usually study hard downstairs with your Aunt Chen. The work in the art shop is different from your work in the Materials Bureau." Zhang Junping explained with a smile.

"I understand, Master!" Li Wenjuan and Xia Guoxiang agreed loudly.

Chen Lijun and Guo Meizhen saw that master and apprentice Zhang Junping had just met and they probably had a lot to say, so they said goodbye and went downstairs very discerningly.

"Since you are willing to follow me to the painting shop, you will have to change your original working ideas in the future.

Next year the art shop will be transformed into an art company, specializing in the promotion of art.

Since you are engaged in art work, whether you manage or promote art in the future, you must have a certain understanding of art.

I will give you a new learning task, which is to practice calligraphy. After you go home every day, write a big calligraphy article and give it to me the next day.

In addition, because we want to sell our works of art abroad, we must understand English. Please take the time to sign up for an English training class and have a surprise training in English. You are not required to be proficient in English, but at least you can communicate with the foreign devils.

There will be no problem as long as the conversation is okay.”

"Ah! Master, do you still need to learn English?" Li Wenjuan pouted and shouted.

"Haha! What's going on here? Not only do you have to learn English, but next year I will also send you to the Academy of Fine Arts to learn some basic knowledge of art with the students from the Academy of Fine Arts.

I don’t require you to have high achievements in calligraphy or painting, but you still need to have certain artistic qualities." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Okay, don't be so sad. Xiaoxia, go to a woodware factory and just do what I said and ask Director Yang to send you a Huanghuali bookcase to match this one.

Send four more chairs and two coffee tables." Zhang Junping explained.

"I understand, Master!" Xia Guoxiang quickly agreed.

"By the way, talk to Factory Director Yang. He said that I will have a batch of rice, flour and soybean oil shipped here in two or three days. Ask him how much he wants."

After Xia Guoxiang left, Zhang Junping smiled at Li Wenjuan and said, "You should learn more from the salesmen below. Even though they are just salesmen, they have worked in the painting shop for more than 20 years, and they know everything about calligraphy and painting."

Very good at it.

You have a sweet mouth, please learn more from them."
