Chapter 252 The Adult World is Too Complicated
After arriving at her doorstep and paying a reasonable fare of fifteen yuan, Zhou Anan left the taxi driver's phone number in case there were no buses available to take her into the city at night.
"Mom, I'm back."
As he walked into the house, Zhou Anan looked curiously at the shed built near the back door.
"Son, you're back. Are you hungry? I'll cook something for you."
Wang Jingyu came in from the shed at the back door and asked with a smile when he saw his son coming back.
"I'm not hungry, Mom. When did our family build such a shed?"
Leaning over to take a look at the boxes piled up in the back, Zhou Anan guessed that it was a simple warehouse. No wonder the front was quite empty.
"It's because there's no room at home, so your dad and I bought a mobile greenhouse."
Wang Jingyu had a lot to say to his son after not seeing him for a long time.
The Chinese New Year is only six days away. Logistics and express delivery have all stopped operating, and the Taobao store has also entered a period of rest and recuperation, so my home is now empty.
"Mom, how is the business of my aunt's shop?"
Knowing that her family's Taobao store was doing good business, Zhou Anan paid some attention to her aunt's store while eating the noodles cooked by her mother.
Only when my aunt's shop business is good can many things be done and my grandfather's fate can be changed more easily.
If the problem can be solved quietly and gently, why make a big fuss about it? Zhou Anan likes the feeling of changing everything silently.
"Not bad. I heard your uncle made over 6,000 last month."
Wang Jingyu was not too clear about this question and just listened to the general idea.
Her husband and the child's uncle are brothers, so their relationship is self-evident. However, each family has its own affairs, so Wang Jingyu won't worry too much.
As for the magic mops sold by his uncle, the sales volume is correct, but Wang Jingyu, who has already started to create his own brand of thermos cups and small fans, is not jealous at all.
"oh."
Zhou Anan felt relieved when she heard that her aunt's Taobao store business was stable.
I guess grandpa won’t be alone at home.
However, if you have time, you should take your grandparents for a comprehensive check-up to prevent any problems.
"By the way, your father and I went to look at houses and picked out two places. I'll take you to see them tomorrow. I'll let you choose then, and I'll give it to you to use when you find a wife."
Speaking of this, Wang Jingyu's face was full of smiles.
"Well, you guys can choose."
Zhou Anan broke out in a cold sweat as he saw his mother thinking so far ahead.
What’s even more speechless is that my parents have been talking about buying a house for more than half a year, but they haven’t taken any action yet.
You know, starting from the beginning of next year, the housing prices in Lizhou will start to take off. You don’t have to buy it later, let alone make a purchase.
"No, your father and I can't convince each other, so it's up to you to decide. Let me tell you, the suite I'm interested in has a great environment."
“.”
After staying at home for half a day and waiting for his father to come home in the evening for dinner, Zhou Anan took his father's van to the city, saving him twenty yuan in taxi fare.
Perhaps because of his summer job and part-time job during normal times, his parents placed fewer restrictions on him. At most, they asked him to report by phone in a timely manner.
Zhou Anan said that she could definitely do this.
When they arrived in the city, it was only 8:30 and there were still more than two hours before the milk tea shop closed. Zhou Anan stayed quietly in the Xinhua Bookstore until it closed at 9:30.
Afterwards, Zhou Anan, who had nowhere to go, bought the thick book The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty before the bookstore closed.
Zhou Anan is no longer interested in martial arts novels with only female protagonists, such as The Smiling, Proud Wanderer and The Legend of the Condor Heroes. He still prefers Master Huang.
As for staying in an Internet cafe, that's even more boring.
"Brother, it's so early, would you like a drink?"
Seeing his cousin coming in, Zhou Shun asked with a smile.
"Okay, cappuccino."
Nodding, Zhou Anan walked to the book corner on the right, glanced at the messily placed books on the bookshelf, and tidied them up.
Accidentally, Zhou Anan saw a copy of "The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". She looked at the book she had just bought for dozens of dollars in silence, and had an urge to smash the book.
Have you been feeling a little dizzy lately?
He remembered that the idea of this book corner was proposed by him during the initial inspection.
I've been feeling a little bit distracted lately, so I need to pay attention to this issue.
"You're not an employee of this store, are you?"
At this time, a girl who was sitting there reading quietly asked.
"no."
After taking a look at the intellectual girl, Zhou Anan's mind instantly reflected her curves.
Well, my waist is not as thin as the girl’s, the front is not as big as the girl’s, and the back is not as straight as the girl’s.
It can only be said to be average, which is about the same level as Ying Chengcheng's sister.
"What books do you like here?"
The girl asked with a smile, looking at the mature boy in front of her who was dressed well with curiosity.
In her opinion, people who love books all have an artistic heart, and appearance is not the most important thing.
"Martial arts novel."
After glancing at the "How Many Flowers Fall in Dreams" in the other person's hand, Zhou Anan did not join in the other person's interest, but directly expressed her own preferences.
There are no literary young ladies who can compare to his original netizens.
It takes a process to win a girl's favor, but it only takes one sentence to ruin a girl you just met.
"oh."
After hearing the boy's answer, a trace of loneliness flashed in the girl's eyes. She instantly lost interest in talking, but she didn't know how to end the conversation with him.
Martial arts, haha.
However, she was the one who started the conversation first, and it was a bit rude of her to suddenly ignore the other person.
"Brother, your coffee."
Just as the literary girl was struggling, Zhou Shun, dressed in the clothes of a store manager, came over with a cup of coffee.
"Thanks."
Taking the coffee and putting it on the table, Zhou Anan ignored the literary girl's thoughts and continued to tidy up the bookshelf.
Unlike some pretentious cultural celebrities, the books in Qinglan flagship store are all genuine books at reasonable prices.
The investment for this alone, for all existing flagship stores combined, is no less than hundreds of thousands.
"Brother, let me sort it out. I'm a bit busy today and can't take care of it. Originally, we asked to sort it out every two hours."
Seeing his cousin's actions, Zhou Shun hurried forward to organize the books.
After all, he was introduced by his cousin to be the store manager. If he did not do his job well, he would not only lose his job, but also his cousin's face.
"Details determine success or failure. If the head office sends someone to investigate, your salary as a store manager will be deducted."
As the eldest brother, Zhou Anan couldn't help but educate his cousin.
However, thinking of her own identity, Zhou Anan forced herself to hold back the rest of her words.
He is not a parent, and talking too much will only make people annoying.
However, there is one thing he wants to talk to Wang Rong and the others about, which is to try to establish a headquarters inspection system to ensure the service quality of each flagship store.
At the beginning, only by getting rid of the laziness can we develop better.
"Well, I'll pay attention to that next time."
After hearing what his cousin said, Zhou Shun nodded obediently.
If it were in the past, he would definitely not take it seriously, after all, his relationship with his cousin was not very good.
But after what happened last time, the relationship between the two became much closer, and in his mind, his cousin had as much prestige as his uncle.
What's more, the business of this Qinglan flagship store is related to his income.
The bonus the head office gave him today was a five-digit number. Just thinking about it made him excited, and he had to pay more attention to matters related to the store.
"Don't worry about me, just go do your own thing."
After waving his hand, Zhou Anan sat down and read the novel in front of him.
As for the girl who was still struggling, she opened her mouth and finally shifted her attention to the literary work in her hand.
"Brother, let's go."
"Um."
Looking at the watch, it was already half past ten in the evening. Zhou Anan looked around and saw that there were no other customers in the store.
For Lizhou, a small county where citizens go to bed early, it is a bit late.
When I walked out of the store, the flow of people on the pedestrian street was a bit sparse, not to mention other places.
After walking a few meters towards the intersection of Shengli Street, Zhou Anan and her friend met up with Li Bin and his friend, who had also closed their shop, and walked together to Nanyuan Road not far away.
"Hello, Zhou Anan."
When Li Wen met Zhou Anan for the first time, she, who was introduced by her boyfriend, greeted her very generously.
"Hello."
Zhou Anan was also very polite to this cousin-in-law who was not her "future cousin-in-law".
Compared to the 'future cousin' in the previous life, the Li Wen in front of him was much better in terms of figure, appearance and interpersonal skills.
It’s a pity that the adult world is too complicated, this world is too complicated.
