shoelace
Xu Xi was thinking of giving the thing to Chen Shuning, tying his shoelaces first, and then taking the thing over, but Chen Shuning squatted down.
Chen Shuning: "Wait a moment, I'll help you tie your shoelaces."
Xu Xi was stunned for a moment. Did Chen Shuning help her tie her shoelaces?
What kind of wonderful enjoyment is this? I wouldn't even dare to think about it in my dreams. Although I was very happy, I was still embarrassed and a little ashamed, so I subconsciously wanted to refuse.
She tightened her arms around the things and said nervously, "It's okay... I can do it myself."
Chen Shuning just glanced at her, smiled, and squatted down.
"You have something in your hand, it's inconvenient, let me do it." Chen Shuning said as he reached out to take the shoelaces and slowly tied them up.
"It's already tied."
"Thanks."
Xu Xi lowered her voice unconsciously, and there was an unusual gentleness in her embarrassed mood. She could clearly feel that the roots of her ears were a little hot.
They had already left the store and were standing outside. The lights were bright enough. Xu Xi was worried that her cheeks had turned red, so she didn't dare look at Chen Shuning. When she said thank you, her heart was beating faster and faster.
Why is Chen Shuning so nice to her?
They had only known each other for a short time, so how could Chen Shuning have done this? Xu Xi silently wondered and hesitated in her heart. She thought that when she had the chance in the future, she must ask if he was also like her, falling in love at first sight. While she was thinking about it, Xu Xi secretly glanced at Chen Shuning, hoping that it was not her illusion.
"You're welcome." Chen Shuning still had a beautiful smile on her face. Xu Xi's heart was moved by the smile and her heartbeat was so fast that she couldn't seem to calm down.
If this continues, I really won’t be able to do anything tonight. Xu Xi forced herself to suppress her emotions and tried to divert her mood with a simple sentence.
"Let's go, there are still many things waiting for us to deal with."
Having said that, Xu Xi took the things and walked straight forward.
Xu Xi came to the door of the nearest barbecue restaurant with the things in her arms, but because she had never done anything like this before, she hesitated and was reluctant to go in.
Chen Shuning, who was standing next to her, noticed something was wrong with her and couldn't help but smile. She was like she was eating spicy noodles back then—knowing they were spicy, but still wanting to eat them, even when they were sweating profusely.
Now, even though I know it will be difficult to go in and promote Xiao Mu’s barbecue skewers, I still want to go, even if I’m nervous and afraid.
The person she has always loved is still so cute.
Chen Shuning put away her smile. Although she knew Xu Xi would definitely go in, she couldn't help but say, "How about you wait here for me? I'll go in and discuss it with the boss first. If he wants to buy it, I'll call you in."
Chen Shuning didn't do it for anything else, she just wanted to reminisce about the past and see her stubbornness of "eating it even though she knew it was spicy". It has been a long time since I saw her like that, that cute look of being scared but not backing down.
Xu Xi: Want her to wait outside?
How could this be possible? It absolutely couldn't be possible. They had clearly agreed to go together, but if she let Chen Shuning go in alone, wouldn't that make her look like a coward? She wasn't the type to back down. Since she had decided to do something, even if it felt difficult, she would definitely overcome it and do it.
Xu Xi frowned blankly. She was just hesitating about what to say later. Did Chen Shuning think that she wanted to escape?
She quickly said, "No, we agreed to go together. I'll go in with you."
Today, Xiao Mu's barbecue restaurant caught fire, causing several nearby restaurants to lose power. Only the barbecue restaurants across the street did not lose power. Therefore, some of the customer flow will tend to the barbecue restaurants across the street.
Because of this, there are many people eating barbecue in the barbecue restaurant here tonight, and the store clerks are walking around with things in their hands, each busy with their own things.
Some shop assistants thought they were customers and wanted to greet them, but they just politely shook their heads and explained that they were there to see the store owner.
Xu Xi and Chen Shuning went straight to the owner of the barbecue restaurant. The owner was not very busy at this time. He was checking the menu ordered by the customers and typing on the computer to calculate something.
Xu Xi took a deep breath, cheered herself up, and then went over to say hello. However, the owner of the barbecue restaurant didn't look up at them, but continued to flip through the menu. The owner of the barbecue restaurant didn't seem impatient at being interrupted at work, but rather spoke in a calm tone. Perhaps because he had a lot of experience in this business, he seemed to have guessed what they were doing when he saw them walk in with their things.
When encountering such a situation, Xu Xi could understand the store owner's attitude. After all, he was disturbing them when they were the busiest.
About two minutes later, the owner of the barbecue restaurant put down the orders in his hand, looked up at them, and then his eyes stopped on what Xu Xi was holding in her arms.
Barbecue shop owner: "What's the matter?"
Just as Xu Xi was about to speak, she heard Chen Shuning speak first.
Chen Shuning directly stated the purpose of their visit, without further elaboration on the difficulties they had encountered. Chen Shuning considered that the barbecue restaurant owner and his men were busy and didn't have the time to listen to their boring topics. After all, what happened to them had nothing to do with the restaurant owner. Getting straight to the point was the best option, as it would save both parties' time.
If it’s possible, then it’s fine. If not, they will go straight to the next one.
Chen Shuning: "Excuse me, do you still need some barbecue skewers in your store? They're already skewered."
However, Chen Shuning was very direct, and the owner of the barbecue restaurant was also very direct. He picked up a small notebook next to him and ordered the beer at his feet.
"Sorry, we don't need it here."
The barbecue restaurant owner had just finished saying this when he heard a waiter next to him say, "Who's free to go over and open the oysters? A customer at that table ordered 60 oysters."
The waiter speaking was busy grilling skewers, sweating profusely. Others were taking orders, serving drinks, butchering and grilling live fish—it seemed like no one was redundant. Therefore, opening and cleaning 60 oysters took time. If they couldn't handle it in time, the customer might cancel their order, and they'd lose the sale.
Generally speaking, the profit margin of oysters in barbecue restaurants is still very high, which is also an opportunity for Xu Xi and her friends. Xiao Mu's shop also has oysters, and Xiao Mu's oysters are processed.
Chen Shuning smiled and said to the barbecue restaurant owner, "We have freshly opened oysters, and they've already been cleaned. If you need them, we'll also give you chopped garlic and green onions."
The owner of the barbecue restaurant frowned in surprise and glanced at the barbecue waiter next to him, who was currently sprinkling ingredients on the barbecue skewers and did not notice that someone was looking at him.
The boss withdrew his gaze, took a list next to him, flipped through it, and frowned even more tightly.
The shop owner seemed to realize that tonight's customer flow was much higher than usual, because they already had a lot of orders and were probably too busy to handle it all. With so many customers and the ingredients they prepared based on their usual quantities, they were probably running low on ingredients.
After a few seconds, the owner of the barbecue restaurant finally spoke. "How much are your oysters? How many are there?"
Xu Xi blinked: Is there hope?
Chen Shuning: "About 500. Boss, are you interested? The price is negotiable."
The owner of the barbecue restaurant took another look at the pile of orders and, without hesitation, told them directly, "According to the industry's purchase price and the lowest price. 50 skewers of each meat, and all the oysters."
Xu Xi's eyes lit up when she heard this result. She couldn't help but look at Chen Shuning with admiration. He was indeed the person she liked.
At this moment, Xu Xi was standing beside him, and she had turned into a fangirl, with love in her bright eyes.
They reached an agreement with the first company right away.
