The autumn weather is crisp and clear, and the branches and leaves on the trees on the roadside have turned yellow, shining golden under the sunlight.

The backyard of Youlian Paper Shop.

Gu Xiaoyou was wearing a curtain hat and using the curtains to block her, while looking at the photos on her phone, she was writing and drawing on paper, researching what to do with the remaining shops.

At this time Liang'er ran into the yard: "Aunt Gu, there is a guest in front of me. Mother is not sure what to do, so she asked me to come find you."

"Okay, I'll come right away." Gu Xiaoyou put away the phone, took off the curtain hat, and followed Liang'er to the front hall.

When I walked into the front yard, I saw a well-dressed man sitting on a chair. Mrs. Zhou was pouring tea for him.

Seeing that the expression on Zhou's face was quite light, Gu Xiaoyou breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she had met someone like Boss Ma again who was looking for trouble.

"Mom, I brought Aunt Gu." Liang'er said briskly.

"Thank you Liang'er."

Mrs. Zhou took a book to Liang'er and asked him to go aside. She walked quickly to Gu Xiaoyou and whispered, "Xiaoyou, this guest is here to ask for his business card."

"Business card?" Gu Xiaoyou repeated in confusion.

Without waiting for Gu Xiaoyou to ask further questions, the well-dressed guest stood up, stepped forward, bowed, and said politely: "This must be Boss Gu."

Gu Xiaoyou nodded: "Yes, it's me. Are you?"

The guest smiled and said gently: "My surname is Qi, and I am a businessman."

"Hello, Boss Qi, why did you come to our store?" Gu Xiaoyou asked politely.

Boss Qi took out a business card from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Xiaoyou: "Qi came here for the card."

Gu Xiaoyou took the business card in his hand, it was the business card of Youlian Paper Shop, and asked without knowing why: "Is there anything inappropriate about the paper shop's business card?"

"No, Qi's servant took out a paper card in the paper shop and accidentally left the card on the table. Qi saw the novel appearance of the card and studied it for a few days and found it very interesting. I wonder if Boss Gu can explain it.

How did you come up with the idea of ​​making this card?" Boss Qi asked in a gentle and polite manner.

After hearing what happened, Gu Xiaoyou smiled and said: "This card is called a business card. It is a card that introduces your identity. In addition to introducing the shop, you can also introduce yourself."

"Introduce yourself?" Boss Qi's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly: "Can you please explain to Boss Gu."

"Okay." Gu Xiaoyou responded readily.

"Boss Qi, please follow me to the paper shop next door. Our business cards are made next door."

Gu Xiaoyou led the way, and Boss Qi followed her to the cubicle of the paper shop next door.

In the cubicle, the scholar was writing on a piece of cardboard with an upright posture. When he saw Gu Xiaoyou coming over, he stood up and saluted: "Hello, Boss Gu."

"It's okay for you, you are busy with your business." Gu Xiaoyou waved his hand and motioned for the scholar to continue writing.

She picked up a blank card from the table, picked up a writing brush, left the cubicle, and explained to Boss Qi while writing on the counter in the front hall: "For example, this is my business card.

I wrote my name and occupation, as well as the location of my paper shop."

Gu Xiaoyou took a brush and wrote and drew on the cardboard. Boss Qi watched with bright eyes, full of strong interest.

"Okay, this is the business card to introduce myself. If the two of us meet for the first time, I can give you the business card, saving you a lot of trouble in introducing yourself." Gu Xiaoyou handed the finished card to Boss Qi.

.

Boss Qi carefully took the business card in his hand and looked at it. He saw on the front of the card it was written: Boss Gu, owner of Youlian Paper Shop, Liangliang Express Station, address Anyang Street, Lutan.

There are also interesting flowers on the back, including a lotus flower and a pony.

Boss Qi read it several times and praised sincerely: "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I wonder if Boss Gu can make some business cards for Qi. You can set the price as you like."

Gu Xiaoyou smiled and said with some embarrassment: "There is only one scholar in our shop who writes, and I only let him write a hundred pieces a day..."

Before Gu Xiaoyou could finish what she said, Boss Qi interrupted her and said after discussion: "How about I order fifty sheets and pick them up the day after tomorrow. We can discuss the price."

Gu Xiaoyou thought about the pricing of modern business cards and estimated a more reasonable price: "Then fifty cards and three hundred letters."

"Okay." Boss Qi said cheerfully: "I'll give you five hundred coins. I'll pick it up the day after tomorrow."

Boss Qi took out a tael of broken silver from his wallet and put it on the table: "Just one tael, no need to look for it."

"That's not possible." Gu Xiaoyou didn't expect that Boss Qi was a cheerful person, so he quickly put the broken silver back into his hand.

"Five hundred coins is already overcharged, and one tael of silver is too much. I have to give you change." Gu Xiaoyou declined.

"Boss Gu is really kind-hearted, so I'll wait for you to find the money." Boss Qi said with a smile.

Gu Xiaoyou then accepted the broken silver and found 500 coins from the money box and gave it to Boss Qi: "Please leave your name and address. If you have anything else to write, you can also write down your comments."

Boss Qi thought for a while while writing and said: "I am in the business of grain business, so let's draw something like a rice warehouse on the back of the business card."

"Okay, it's simple and easy to remember." Gu Xiaoyou smiled and put the paper away: "Then please come back the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, Qi will leave first." Boss Qi saluted Gu Xiaoyou and left the paper shop with satisfaction.

Gu Xiaoyou sent Boss Qi away and returned to the cubicle.

She knocked on the door gently: "Ding Xiucai, I just took on a job, which may make you tired for two days."

The scholar stood up and said, "Boss Gu, you are too polite. If you have any instructions, just tell me."

"It's like this. The boss just came to order business cards. Fifty of them in two days. You may have to work overtime. Don't worry, I will give you overtime pay." Gu Xiaoyou took the rice paper written by Boss Qi.

Pass it to the scholar.

The scholar took it with both hands and said respectfully: "It's the right thing for me to do for Boss Gu. I don't dare to covet overtime pay."

"Anyone who works more than four hours here will get overtime pay. It's also written in the contract I gave you." Gu Xiaoyou explained: "It depends on whether you want to accept it in these two days or pay it all at the end of the month."

you."

The scholar's face lit up with joy and he replied with a smile: "It's the end of the month. Thank you very much, Boss Gu."

"You're welcome, just do your best." Gu Xiaoyou said a few more words before leaving the cubicle.

When the store closed at night, there was still light in the compartment. Gu Xiaoyou opened the door of the compartment and saw the scholar writing Boss Qi's business card one stroke at a time.

"How much have you written?" Gu Xiaoyou asked.

"I've already written twenty of them."
