Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Talk about the boss running away with someone.
The smoke was blown away by Yueyue's loud "meat, meat!", and the three adults tacitly released a peaceful atmosphere - "food comes first."
After dinner, Tan Du honestly explained that there was a shortage of beans for the activity.
"This order is quite large," Qiao Yuyi said, "Qiao Zhuoyi, you..."
Qiao Zhuo glanced at her, and Qiao Yuyi raised her hands: "Okay, I'll pack my things first. You guys can talk about the boss slowly."
Qiao Zhuoyi leaned against the sofa, turning his mobile phone with one hand, glancing at the screen from time to time.
The message has been sent, but the other party has not responded yet.
"It's really not a big deal. Beans are not only available in the city," said Tan Du.
Qiao Zhuo looked at him and asked, "Do you have a solution?"
Tan Du smiled and said, "I have a friend in the nearby city. I'll contact him. He has connections and it should be delivered tomorrow."
"Are you sure?" Qiao Zhuo clenched his phone.
"Well, at the very least, talk to the customer and offer a discount on coffee-free drinks. I don't think they'll disagree," Tan Du said.
oh.
People have their own friends.
Friends have their own ways.
call out--
The other party replied: [You must have it if you ask. How much do you want? I'll send it to you tomorrow.]
Qiao Zhuo lowered his eyes and immediately refused: [No thanks.]
"I see. It's been a hassle these past few days. Feel free to talk to the boss."
After saying that, he got up and went upstairs.
Tan Du looked at his back, unable to figure out what went wrong this time.
Qiao Yuyi was coming down from upstairs: "Are you done talking?"
"Yeah," Qiao Zhuoyi yawned, "I'm asleep."
"What time are you going to bed?!" Qiao Yuyi came down and said with a smile, "What a guy! How can he just abandon his guests and go to sleep alone? Boss Tan, I've really troubled you these past few days."
"No trouble, I should be leaving too."
Tan Du went to the small room and said goodbye to the two children.
Qiao Yuyi saw him out and said with a hint of meaning, "Talking about the boss, isn't Qiao Zhuoyi quite annoying?"
"How could that be," Tan Du replied, "Boss Qiao is very good."
"Really?" Qiao Yuyi raised her eyebrows.
"Of course." Tan Du nodded.
Qiao Yuyi quickly followed up, "Then I have something I'd like to ask Boss Tan."
The old street has experienced its highest temperature in recent times, and air conditioners have been running neatly since early morning.
A white van was weaving through the alley like a headless fly. The person in the driver's seat slammed the steering wheel a few times. After the navigation system had driven him into a dead end for the nth time, he finally called for help.
Three words were uttered from the other end of the phone - Ginkgo tree.
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
The steering wheel turned, and a few minutes later, the left front wheel accurately pressed the TD logo.
The man in the gray polo shirt got out of the car, biting the leg of his sunglasses and looking around.
"Dude, don't park your car at the door. There's a parking space there."
Xiaolu, holding a bun in her mouth, walked around the man and opened the TD glass door.
"These are the goods for you," the man said, opening the car door. "These boxes of beans will be enough to last you a few days."
Xiao Lu's eyes lit up, and she almost cried while hugging the box: "Matching, Oiran..."
He couldn't wait to get closer and smell it: "The quality is also good... Boss Qiao is really awesome!"
"Who are you talking about?" the man asked, "Isn't your boss..."
"Sorry, I'm so excited." Xiao Lu held the other person's hand. "Thank you for your hard work. I'll move it. Please come in and sit down."
The man looked behind him and saw an off-road vehicle approaching. He raised his arm and waved.
Xiao Lu was a little surprised: "You know our Tan Ge?"
"Nonsense, why else would I deliver it?" the man said angrily.
As he was talking, Tan Du also got out of the car and greeted the man: "I'm here."
"Are you a shop assistant..." The man pointed at his temples.
"Brother Tan, this is your friend." Xiao Lu reacted and muttered, "I thought it was Boss Qiao who called him."
"Boss Qiao?" Tan Du frowned.
"Yeah," Xiao Lu said as he lifted the box. "Not long after you left yesterday, Boss Qiao came in and asked what our trouble was. He then said he knew a client who could help...Brother Tan, what's wrong? You can't tell me?"
Tan Du shook his head: "Go ahead and do your thing."
No wonder he kept asking yesterday. He must have asked for help.
He smiled and shook his head.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Su Qi bumped into him. "What do you mean? Who is Boss Qiao?"
Tan Du looked at him faintly and said, "Go ahead, take the coffee beans with you, and pretend you've never been here."
"Fuck, are you sick?" Su Qi jumped up and hit him, and Tan Du smiled and dodged backwards.
"Be careful." Su Qi reached out to grab him, but at the same time, his shoulder blade was blocked from behind. Tan Du turned around and said, "Boss Qiao."
Qiao Zhuo nodded, his expression not looking friendly.
"Have Yueyue and Lele been sent away?" Tan Du asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Qiao Zhuo nodded, and when he saw the man in the polo shirt out of the corner of his eye, he frowned silently.
Xiao Lu came out of the warehouse and said hurriedly, "Boss Qiao, we'll finish moving it right away!"
"oh."
Polo shirts are friends. Since they arrived so early, they really don’t need outsiders.
Qiao Zhuo went upstairs without hesitation. When he turned the corner, he saw the Polo man leaning towards Tan Du, and his steps unconsciously became heavier.
"Wow! It's so lively downstairs today. Is that person Boss Tan's friend? This is the first time I see Boss Tan's friend coming here." Xiao Luo muttered as he retreated from the balcony.
Qiao Zhuo's hand paused as he was drawing. Come to think of it, apart from this troublemaker like him, the old street had almost no secrets.
With Tan Du's personality, he should have been completely exposed for his entire family after being here for half a year, but the neighbors knew nothing about his past.
jingle--
Xiao Luo rushed over to answer the phone.
Qiao Zhuo took the headphones and put them on, and kept scribbles and revisions, making almost no progress.
"Brother Zhuo!" Xiao Luo waved his hand in front of him.
"What?" Qiao Zhuo took off his headphones.
"I've already come back from lunch, why aren't you going yet?"
"Oh, it's already this late." Qiao Zhuo realized it belatedly and went downstairs.
"Old Tan, you're going out of your way to get back at me! Such a disgusting dish!"
As I reached the stairs, I heard the Polo man's voice.
Qiao Zhuo pushed his back teeth together and said he was taking people to see Chef Qu.
"The chef put salt in it instead of sugar! And you said it wasn't salty!"
Huh? His friends don't even know he has no sense of taste?
Qiao Zhuo walked a little more lightly and turned the corner, just in time to see the Polo man punching Tan Du on the shoulder.
He looked straight ahead, past the two of them.
"Boss Qiao." Tan Du called out.
"Talk about the boss." Qiao Zhuo turned around and asked, "What's going on?"
"Out for dinner?"
"Yeah." Qiao Zhuo replied, "Why?"
Tan Du pointed to the right and said, "Don't go to that new restaurant at the end of the alley. We just went there and the food was terrible."
Didn’t you go to Qu Xiaochu?
Qiao Zhuo raised his chin slightly and responded with a slightly rising tone.
"Yes, if you can't even tell the difference between salt and sugar, how can you open a restaurant!" The Polo man put his arm on Tan Du's shoulder and interrupted in a familiar manner.
Arm in arm.
Smiling face.
Qiao Zhuo glanced at the hand, glanced at the other person, and turned and left.
"Fuck!" Su Qi muttered, "Lao Tan, you hedgehog neighbor... Damn! What are you laughing at!"
Tan Du slapped his arm away and said, "We've finished our meal, hurry up and take everyone away."
"Just throw it away after use, right?" Su Qi jumped up, "You have no conscience!"
After wandering around for a long time, Qiao Zhuo felt that his stomach had lost interest in all the restaurants, so he finally went to the pancake shop.
"Have Mr. Fan and his son come to bother you again?" Sister Sun stuffed the meat into the pancake crust with all her strength.
"No." Qiao Zhuoyi tried to stop her, "That's enough, Sister Sun. If you stuff any more, it will explode."
"No, no!" Sister Sun kept talking and working, "You're so small, eat more. But you have to listen to me. This sesame cake can only be used as a snack. Eating it as a main meal is not nutritionally balanced. You should go to the restaurant and order some real food..."
Qiao Zhuoyi was a little overwhelmed and nodded obediently to everything the other party said. After waiting for a long time for the cake to come out of the oven, he whispered a thank you and turned to leave.
“Ouch—”
"hiss--"
I didn't notice someone walking up the stairs and bumped into them hard.
Qiao Zhuoyi opened his mouth but the other party held out a hand to stop him. Under Sister Sun's intimidating gaze, he hesitantly said, "Sorry!"
A hard tone.
Qiao Zhuo glanced at him and said, "It's okay."
Sister Sun walked forward and twisted the man's arm hard.
Uncle Qiang dodged with a grin and shouted again: "I'm sorry!"
"It's okay," Qiao Zhuoyi said, "It doesn't hurt."
Uncle Qiang said awkwardly, "No! Oh, I mean...I mean that day..."
"Which day?" Qiao Zhuo opened the bag and took a bite.
"That day!" Uncle Qiang frowned.
Snap——
"Which day?" Qiao Zhuo asked.
Sister Sun chuckled.
"Good boy! You did it on purpose!" Uncle Qiang's face flushed red. "I blocked you in front of your store that day! I'm sorry!"
Click, click, click——
Qiao Zhuo finished his sesame cake and said, "Let's go, Sister Sun."
"Yeah, okay!" Sister Sun replied with a smile.
Uncle Qiang hid in the corner and looked at him sideways.
"Let's go, Uncle Qiang." Qiao Zhuo turned his back and said again.
"Ah? Oh!" Uncle Qiang muttered to Sister Sun, "Did he just call me?"
"Yes, yes, yes! You heard it right!" Sister Sun replied.
This little old man doesn't seem that annoying.
As Qiao Zhuo walked back, a white van slid past him.
After the car drove away, he suddenly realized that the person in the passenger seat was Zhou Jue.
He took a few quick steps and looked through the TD window, but he only saw the bear and Xiaolu napping by the bar. When he turned around, he only had time to catch a glimpse of the back of the white van.
In the next few days, I had lunch at a restaurant, dinner was Lao Fan fried noodles, and a snack of sesame seed cakes. Life was the same as before, but it seemed like something was different.
"I don't think I've ever met Boss Tan." Xiao Luo muttered while sitting in front of the computer.
Boss Tan ran off with someone.
Qiao Zhuoyi was annoyed: "Why do you always nag about other people's bosses?"
"Hehe...I..." Xiao Luo suddenly fell silent.
"Why don't you say anything?" Qiao Zhuo was huddled in a corner drawing. Tsk, the lines were too thick, so he started over.
"Boss Qiao."
Um?
Qiao Zhuo paused.
A glass of sparkling American coffee appeared in front of him. The fingers holding the glass were cold, white and slender, with blue veins running up and a scar on the elbow.
The visitor smiled and said, "Boss Qiao, TD is having some troubles and would like to ask for your help."
