The next day, when Elizabeth and Evelyn entered the design department, they saw that each of the colleagues was holding an exquisite thermos cup with a bright smile.
Evelyn had been wondering if Chris would really do as what James said. Seeing the petite and lovely cup, she was so happy and took Elizabeth to her desk quickly.
"Oh, it's so good-looking!" Evelyn took the new cup on her desk and looked at it over and over again. She said to Elizabeth happily, "My mother always says that
price differences are used as a proxy for differences in c Look at the packaging and the style! It touches too good and smooth! Tut-tut, it is indeed an expensive cup. Even the packaging is so creative."
While everyone was talking about the cup, Evelyn put her cup in Elizabeth's ear, "Listen, there's a buzz in it. Let me tell you, with the experience of opening a grocery store to sell cups, the thermal insulation of the cup is absolutely great! It can keep water hot for at least thirty-six hours!"
Hearing this, Elizabeth was stunned for two seconds. Then she shook her head and said with a smile, "Sorry, Miss Wu, I won't buy the cup in your grocery."
Evelyn waved her hand, "Of course I know you don't buy it! I'm just telling you that the thermal insulation of the cup is good. If you fetch hot water, even if you open the lid, the water will still burn your lips five hours later!"
Evelyn said those words with excitement, but she soon became depressed, "The thermal insulation really makes me irritated. How can I drink water in this way?"
Elizabeth looked at Evelyn and said helplessly, "Well... you can fetch some warm water, can you?"
Evelyn scratched her hair and looked speechless, "You can seldom point out my mistake, and it makes me so silly. You are really annoying."
Elizabeth smiled and didn't speak. She raised her hand to take her cup.
"Look at yours!" Evelyn got close to her with a curious face.
"Our cups are all the same, and the only difference will just be the colour."
"Have a look!"
Elizabeth listened to her and opened the package. As soon as Evelyn saw the cup, she snorted, "Your husband is so..."
"Keep your voice down!" Elizabeth warned her in a low voice.
Evelyn stuck out her tongue and lowered her voice, "Mr. Lu is so considerate. It's said that benefits should always be kept for one's own people. This is just a cup, and he didn't even buy it himself, but he treated you so specially!"
Elizabeth looked at the rose-gold cup in her hand and was extremely fond of it, "What are you talking about? He didn't treat me specially, did he? As you said, he didn't buy it in person. Maybe Director Fang took it wrong."
"Humph! Don't deny it! Yesterday your husband asked Director Fang to buy us cups of this brand, so I searched it online. Although our cups are not cheap, the color and style of the cup you are holding are exclusive. There is a special logo at the bottom of the cup. You can have a look if you don't believe me!"
Elizabeth turned it over, only to see that there was an eagle that had spread its wings carved at the bottom of the cup.
"But, your cup is really beautiful!"
"If you like it, let's change it."
"No!" Evelyn waved her hand, "If your husband knows it, he will kill me. How dare I accept it? I will be beaten to death by him!"
"Elizabeth, oh, your cup is so goo-looking!" Dulcie Zhang, who was sharp- eyed, saw the cup in Elizabeth's hand and exclaimed.
