Chapter 242, Not Yet... (Subscribe)
Shen Qiushan looked at Lin Moxuan speechlessly. The other party had tried to indirectly link this matter to him, and it was just for this?
Sure enough, the little blue bottle is the hard currency among men!
"What's the little blue bottle?"
Lin Jiayu looked at her father and brother-in-law Shen Qiushan with suspicion.
Chen Qingzhu and Lin Xiamo, mother and daughter, lowered their heads and started eating in silence.
"Don't ask questions, little kid."
Lin Moxuan replied with a stern face.
“I’m already 20 years old.”
"You are no longer a child!"
Lin Jiayu curled her lips slightly.
Lin Moxuan naturally would not explain this to his daughter. He turned to look at Shen Qiushan: "Is there a problem?"
"Well, three bottles at most."
Shen Qiushan hasn't been doing lotteries very often recently, so he doesn't have much in stock, so he still has to be frugal.
"Okay, deal!"
Lin Moxuan nodded immediately. In fact, he was just trying his best. Although he did not agree with Lin Xiamo's resignation, the matter was already done and could not be changed.
What's more, Lin Xiamo also got the opportunity to perform on the Spring Festival Gala stage, which can be regarded as bringing honor to the family!
The Red Rose Tavern.
Although the weather is already very cold.
But there is a constant stream of customers coming to check in, and there is still a long queue at the waiting area at the door.
Luo Yao, who returned to Sanjiang during the winter vacation, made an appointment with her high school friend Liu Meiyu, who was admitted to the Sanjiang Conservatory of Music. The last time Lu Xingchen held a concert in Sanjiang, the two had a conversation because Shen Yixiao appeared on the big screen at the scene.
“I didn’t expect it to be so popular!”
"Want to line up?"
Looking at the long line, Liu Meiyu frowned.
"Let's line up. We're already here."
Luo Yao came to the Red Rose Tavern for two purposes this time. One was to repair her relationship with Shen Yanran, and the other was to see if there was any possibility of getting back together with Shen Yixiao.
After returning to Sanjiang during the winter vacation, her mother scolded her severely.
After all, Luo Yao is just a little bit away from “marrying into a wealthy family”!
Of course, Luo Yao herself was extremely regretful. After she broke up with Shen Yixiao, she found that her "future father-in-law" Shen Qiushan was becoming more and more powerful.
She didn't even dare to imagine how much money the other person had made and how terrifying his current net worth would be.
"Why don't I give Yanran a call?"
"Looking at her circle of friends, it seems that they are all helping out in the tavern recently."
Liu Meiyu and Shen Yanran also knew each other. In high school, she, Luo Yao and Shen Yanran were all friends.
It’s just that Shen Yanran and Luo Yao had a better relationship at that time.
"Yeah, that's fine."
Luo Yao nodded. Because Shen Yanran had blocked all her contact information, she couldn't contact her.
Liu Meiyu immediately called Shen Yanran.
After waiting for a long time, the phone was finally connected: "Meiyu, what's the matter?"
"Yanran, are you at the Red Rose Tavern?"
“Yes!”
"I'm queuing outside, can I cut in line?"
Liu Meiyu asked with a smile.
"ah?"
"You're outside!"
"I'm leaving now!"
Although Shen Yanran broke up with Luo Yao, she still cherished her high school friends.
"Yanran, say she's coming out now."
"You didn't say I was there?"
"Before I could elaborate, Yanran hung up the phone."
Liu Meiyu shrugged.
While the two were talking, Shen Yanran, wearing an apron with the "Red Rose Tavern" logo, walked out of the store in a hurry.
She glanced at the crowd waiting for their seats and immediately spotted Liu Meiyu and Luo Yao.
Shen Yanran raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously, she didn't expect Luo Yao to be there too.
However, she had already come out, and it was impossible for her to ignore Liu Meiyu just because Luo Yao was there.
"Yanran, this way!"
Liu Meiyu waved at Shen Yanran with a smile on her face.
Shen Yanran took a deep breath and walked over quickly.
"Yanran, long time no see."
Luo Yao took the initiative to speak.
"Well, long time no see."
Shen Yanran nodded slightly. When she blocked Luo Yao, she was also in a state of anger.
Thinking about it later, there was actually no need to be so extreme. After all, the two of them were once good friends, so they just needed to deal with the situation calmly.
Only children act on impulse!
Adults' farewells are often silent.
You used to be very good friends, but you keep in touch less and less, one month, two months...
One day you suddenly realize that you haven’t been in touch for a year or two, and your former friends have slowly drifted apart in the silent years.
"Yanran, I hope our relationship will not be affected by my breakup with Shen Yixiao."
"If what I did hurt you, I apologize to you now!"
Luo Yao said sincerely.
"Let's go in and talk."
Shen Yanran waved her hand casually. She knew that her relationship with Luo Yao could never go back to the way it was before.
However, since we are classmates, there will still be opportunities to meet, such as the class reunion during this winter vacation.
Before the holiday, class monitor Zhou Yu had already organized a class reunion in the class group.
The chubby boy who had pursued Shen Yanran for three years was admitted to Shanghai University. Although he was separated from Shen Yanran, he still had evil intentions.
He would still send WeChat messages to Shen Yanran occasionally. This time, he organized a class reunion for the winter vacation, and it could be said that he had other intentions.
He knew that it was unlikely to ask Shen Yanran out alone, so he organized a class reunion.
In fact, this kind of high school reunion is quite normal, especially in the first one or two years after entering college.
Every holiday, there is always someone organizing a high school reunion.
During the first one or two gatherings, students are often very enthusiastic about attending, but as time goes on, fewer and fewer people attend.
Gradually, such class reunions disappeared. This is an inevitable rule because as people get older, their social circles are shrinking.
Shen Yanran probably doesn’t realize now that she thinks that she will always have interactions with her high school classmates, but after many years, you may not even remember the names of some of them.
But at this age, she still values friendship with classmates.
Enter the tavern.
Shen Yanran took the two of them behind the bar.
At this moment, Xu Piwa was busy mixing cocktails. She naturally knew Luo Yao, but she also knew that because of Shen Yixiao, Shen Yanran and Luo Yao no longer had any contact.
So when she saw Luo Yao this time, she was quite surprised, but she still greeted her politely.
"Loquat, you can actually mix drinks?"
Luo Yao was shocked.
In her impression, Xu Loquat is an introverted and quiet little girl.
She would never connect the cocktail-making thing with Xu Loquat.
“Just some simple ones.”
Xu Loquat replied modestly.
"Loquat, do you still remember me?"
Liu Meiyu naturally knew Xu Piwa, the top student in the school, but the two had little interaction during high school.
"Well, you are Liu Meiyu."
As the school's artistic backbone, Liu Meiyu often appears in various artistic performances, and Xu Piwa also has an impression of her.
"Haha, it seems those activities I participated in in high school were of some use."
Liu Meiyu smiled.
Xu Loquat nodded slightly and continued with the work in his hands.
"Yanran, I saw a notice posted at the entrance of the tavern recruiting resident singers. What do you think of me?"
Liu Meiyu turned to look at Shen Yanran again.
As the winter vacation is coming, many students in the pop music club have to go back to their hometowns.
There were naturally fewer singers during the daytime resident singing hours, so Hu Tingting wrote an advertisement for recruiting resident singers on the small blackboard at the entrance of the bar.
"Would you like to come part-time?"
Shen Yanran looked at Liu Meiyu in surprise.
"Have you forgotten that I studied at Sanjiang Conservatory of Music?"
"I am also a semi-professional singer, okay?"
Before coming here, Liu Meiyu had never thought about working part-time.
However, after seeing the recruitment notice at the door of the Red Rose Tavern, she thought about coming here to work part-time.
On the one hand, you can accumulate performance experience and hone your singing skills.
Secondly, the Red Rose Tavern is very popular, and she can also take advantage of the tavern's popularity.
And the most important point is that working part-time at the Red Rose Tavern might give you the opportunity to come into contact with Shen Qiushan.
In the eyes of most people, Shen Qiushan is labeled as a famous writer.
However, in the eyes of music practitioners, Shen Qiushan is a famous musician.
Although he has only composed three songs so far, all three songs have become popular.
Moreover, each song has a different style. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a musical genius!
For music conservatory students like Liu Meiyu, the biggest goal is naturally to become a famous singer.
So, if you want to become a famous singer, the best way is to have a representative work.
This kind of representative work is hard to come by, and it would be great if you are lucky enough to get a song by Shen Qiushan.
"Then you try it later!"
Shen Yanran pointed to the stage. It was not yet evening time, and the people performing on the stage were Cheng Yuanyuan and Yao Shutong from the Pop Music Club.
Both of them are core members of the pop music club, have good looks and singing skills, and with the recent training at the Red Rose Tavern, they have become very mature resident singers.
At this moment, the two of them were singing a classic old song together, and the atmosphere in the pub was very good.
"OK!"
Liu Meiyu, who has participated in countless cultural and artistic activities since childhood, certainly would not be stage fright. She nodded happily and agreed.
"Then I'll tell Aunt Tingting."
Shen Yanran picked up the intercom under the bar and communicated with Hu Tingting who was busy in the pub.
"Okay!"
Liu Meiyu responded with a smile. She didn't expect to have an unexpected gain this time.
When the next performance started, Liu Meiyu really went on stage.
After all, she is a student of the music conservatory and a semi-professional singer. Liu Meiyu's performance was very good, and was no worse than Cheng Yuanyuan and Yao Shutong before.
"Meiyu sings really well!"
Luo Yao made some small talk and expressed her feelings.
Shen Yanran said nothing, she still felt a little embarrassed when facing this former friend.
"Yanran, I really know I was wrong."
"Can we still be friends?"
Under the cover of the singing, Luo Yao turned and said to Shen Yanran.
"To be honest, you and Shen Yixiao have gotten into this situation now. As his sister, I can't stand on the same side with you."
Shen Yanran shook her head first: "But I don't want us to be like strangers."
"Let's be classmates again."
“This relationship is a little better.”
In fact, Shen Yanran had no idea how to handle such a relationship.
Her idea was that they would meet again in the future, so she had to save face and didn't want the relationship to become too awkward.
"Yeah, okay!"
Luo Yao nodded. She also knew that it was impossible to repair her relationship with Shen Yanran all at once, so she had to take it slowly.
However, this is already a good start.
So after listening to Shen Yanran's words, Luo Yao was in a very good mood.
“I heard that Shen Yixiao is talking about a new girlfriend?”
Luo Yao asked again.
"Well, we talked about one."
Shen Yanran did not hide the fact that when Shen Yixiao and Lin Yufei confirmed their relationship, Shen Yixiao did post on WeChat Moments.
His high school classmates all knew about it, so there was no way that it would not have reached Luo Yao's ears.
"How are they?"
"Very good?"
Luo Yao asked.
“It should be good!”
Shen Yanran nodded: “Shen Yixiao went to see her parents as soon as she got off work.”
"Luo Yao, I think since you and Shen Yixiao have broken up, it's better not to have any entanglements in the future."
"After all, you all have your own lives!"
"Yes, I know."
Luo Yao nodded gloomily, and added: "However, I still want to say that I really regret breaking up with Shen Yixiao!"
"This is probably the stupidest decision I have ever made in my life!"
"well……"
Luo Yao sighed and wanted to say something else.
Shen Yanran waved her hand and said, "Let the past be the past."
While the two were talking, Xiao Sinian came to the bar with a tray: "Loquat, two glasses of Blue Impression."
Due to frequent part-time jobs, Xiao Sinian quickly adapted to the working environment of the pub and has become a very qualified waiter.
After seeing Xiao Sinian, Shen Yanran's eyes instantly brightened up: "Senior Xiao, how do you feel?"
“Still getting used to it!”
Shen Yanran took the initiative to talk.
"I've adapted quite well. It's easier than I thought."
Xiao Sinian looks like a cool and aloof male god, but that's not the case.
His situation is somewhat similar to Xu Loquat's. His poor family conditions indirectly contributed to his introversion.
Once they got to know each other, Xiao Sinian was quite good at chatting. At the moment, he didn't know what Shen Yanran was thinking, but he still had some feelings for this beautiful school girl, who was also the daughter of the "boss".
"That's good!"
Shen Yanran nodded with a smile, and then whispered: "Senior Xiao, you can slack off appropriately."
"Well……"
Xiao Sinian looked at Shen Yanran in surprise, and thought: Isn't this your family's business?
Shen Yanran giggled: "Just kidding!"
"I took it seriously."
Xiao Sinian spread his hands, and then Xu Loquat put the two glasses of wine on the tray.
"I'm going to get busy now."
He nodded to Shen Yanran and carried the tray to serve wine to the guests.
"Yanran, this isn't your boyfriend, is it?"
Luo Yao keenly noticed that Shen Yanran's attitude towards the boy just now was very unusual.
“Not yet…”
Shen Yanran blurted out in reply.
