She has been very busy recently, and whenever she has some free time she is looking for raw materials.
Gu Juncheng came back on Sunday and didn't see her. He couldn't stay at home for long, so he sat at home for a while and waited in the store for the whole afternoon. But no one showed up, so he had to go back to school.
His sister was busy as a top in the store and told him, "Pingzi is too busy. If you can't help her, don't make things more troublesome for her. Find a place to eat by yourself. We really don't have time to treat you."
Make trouble?
However, he was going back to school.
In the second week, the goods from the supply channel were hit by a typhoon and no one knew when they would arrive. Lin Qingping was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
On Friday, Liang Jiaqi came here to hang out and saw that there were fewer customers in the store. It was much quieter, so he asked Gu Youlian curiously, "Sister, what's going on?"
It was only then that Liang Jiaqi learned that Lin Qingping had been in such a difficult situation this week, with a shortage of raw materials and unable to produce products.
"Why don't you look for me!" Liang Jiaqi asked loudly.
Lin Qingping came into the store at this time and happened to hear these words. She was delighted and said, "Yes, how could I forget you!"
Liang Jiaqi's family is in the Western food business, so they must have special channels for purchasing goods.
However, the provincial capital is so far away from the capital that if we want to mail it from there, it will take at least a week. The current efficiency cannot compare with the later express and courier services.
Lin Qingping made up his mind, "Liang Jiaqi, can you please tell my uncle to prepare the goods first? I don't have classes tomorrow, so I will go and pick them up right away?"
"You're going to get it?" Liang Jiaqi understood what she meant. Indeed, it would be faster to go there by yourself, or ask his father to deliver it, but this possibility was not high...
After figuring it out, he immediately said, "Okay! I'll go to the post office and make a call now!"
Liang Jiaqi informed his father according to the list given by Lin Qingping, and went to the train station with Lin Qingping.
His reasons were very valid: there were a lot of things and they were heavy, so she might not be able to carry them all by herself.
This makes sense, and Liang Jiaqi also added a reason: he wanted to go home.
Okay, Lin Qingping can’t stop people from going home.
So, that night, they boarded a train heading south. Of course, they bought standing tickets as sitting tickets were not available.
On Saturday afternoon, when Gu Juncheng came to the store, Lin Qingping had already gone south for a day.
"And Liang Jiaqi?" Gu Juncheng frowned slightly, and the young man's sunny smile appeared in front of him.
"Yes! Xiao Liang has helped a lot this time!" Seeing her brother's unhappy face, Gu Youlian hurriedly said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Xiao Liang is still young and a kind-hearted child. Don't be angry with Pingzi when you get back!"
Gu Juncheng hummed.
"Don't be perfunctory with me! Don't bring the old feudal ideas of Gujia Village to the capital. It's not acceptable for a wife to talk to a man for a few more words, and then be criticized in the back. This kind of thing is not acceptable in the capital!" Gu Youlian has seen the world now, and her thoughts are very different from when she was in Gujia Village.
"Got it." Gu Juncheng found a seat and sat down.
Gu Youlian said, "Hey, the bottle is not here, why are you still sitting here? The store is not busy today, you should go home and have a rest."
"I'm waiting for someone." Gu Juncheng poured himself a glass of water and drank it while sitting down.
Female students came in in twos and threes and sat down at the tables near him.
"Hey, I heard that this store was opened by Lin Qingping, right?"
When Gu Juncheng heard the name, he couldn't help but glance sideways. He seemed to have seen one of the people at the welcome party. He should be Lin Qingping's roommate or classmate.
She just said, "Well, on the surface, yes, but it is said that she is not the actual boss."
"Who is that?"
"Heh, do you think Lin Qingping has the ability to open a store? She's just a country girl! As far as I know, the real boss is the one who runs the steak house across the street."
"Now that you mention it, I understand! No wonder the guy in the steak shop is called what? Liang Jiaqi! He doesn't stay at his steak shop every day, but hangs around here! I thought it was strange, but now that you mention it, I understand!"
"Isn't it? Liang Jiaqi's family runs a Western restaurant. It is said that their ancestors have been running the business since the Republic of China period. There are relatives in Southeast Asia!"
"Let me tell you, guess what I saw? On Friday night, I saw Lin Qingping and Liang Jiaqi go to the train station together to catch the train!"
Another girl said suspiciously, "No way? Isn't Lin Qingping a military wife? Her husband is a soldier!"
"That's the point!" The girl in Lin Qingping's dormitory said mysteriously, "Lin Qingping can't stand the loneliness in a marriage where they spend less time together and more time apart. Besides, Lin Qingping's husband is from the countryside, too. He's old, dark-skinned, and has no money. Anyone would choose the son of the Western restaurant owner, right? He's young, handsome, and rich."
"That's not the case... Can't true love beat being young, handsome and rich?"
"It's worth it, but it depends on who it is! Lin Qingping is with Liang Jiaqi every day. Do you think she really loves her soldier husband?"
“That’s true…”
"So, this store was opened by Liang Jiaqi with money given to Lin Qingping. She and her military husband didn't have the money to open a store! Look at the decoration, it must have cost a lot of money, right? And those equipment, I know, they are all imported from abroad, they are expensive!"
The girls' chatter was not loud, but it was just loud enough for Gu Juncheng to hear.
"Xie Wei, how do you know so clearly?"
It turns out that the girl in Lin Qingping's dormitory is called Xie Wei.
Xie Wei smiled complacently, "Of course I have inside information! Lin Qingping is not a simple person. I don't know how many men she has been with! She forgets her principles when she sees profit. I despise this kind of people the most. Her military husband is not her first one!"
