Two girls, around eighteen or nineteen years old, huddled together talking at a dining table.
"See that man over there? The really handsome one, super tall."
"What's wrong? Are you looking for a partner?"
"No, the proprietress didn't charge him just now, and even told him to go get more if he didn't have enough."
"What?!"
"Keep your voice down!"
"You mean the landlady is interested in him?"
“I think so. She doesn’t usually smile like that at us. She smiles especially happily when she sees him.”
"The proprietress isn't that frivolous; she must know him."
"That's possible. I should have listened to what they were saying earlier."
"They look quite well-matched."
"I think it's not bad, I just don't know if that tall guy is married yet."
While eating, Song Yaoyang looked around the shop. For a fast food restaurant, the design was quite good, bright and stylish.
The restaurant's dozen or so tables were almost full, making it resemble a small canteen.
Fast food restaurants require little investment, and as long as the food tastes good, the return on investment is quick. That's why he wanted to invest in Xia Baozhu before.
After returning from military service, in addition to the job his family arranged for him, he wanted to invest in some good projects on his own.
Xia Baozhu's shop gave him a pleasant surprise, so when he went to repay the money, he changed his mind at the last minute.
Unfortunately, their collaboration was always unlucky and failed time and time again.
Every time he wanted to invest, either she was busy, he was busy, or he got angry.
Of course, part of the responsibility lies with him. He is always too emotional and immature when it comes to Xia Baozhu. He is easily impulsive, and this impulsiveness can last for a long time.
Perhaps their luck clashed, or perhaps it was a test that was truly tormenting him.
He envied Xia Baozhu for being carefree and heartless.
He used to be carefree and lived a good life, but after meeting her, he realized he had another side to him.
Now that he's calmed down and recovered, he's come back to seek stimulation again.
Seeing her delighted expression, he was happy but also a little disappointed, as he could tell from her eyes that she only regarded him as an ordinary friend.
He has now adjusted his mindset and treats her as an ordinary friend.
Be able to take it on and put it down.
"Hello, may I sit here?"
Song Yaoyang heard a pleasant, clear voice, looked up, and saw a beautiful, tall woman wearing a floral dress and a sweater over it.
"Okay, I'm done eating." Song Yaoyang finished his breakfast and returned the tray to the counter.
The woman who arrived later looked surprised, her fair and delicate face still flushed from the earlier encounter.
As Song Yaoyang quickly left, her face turned even redder, this time a blush of embarrassment.
As soon as she entered the store, she saw Song Yaoyang. He was tall and handsome, standing out from the crowd.
Noticing there was an empty seat next to him, she mustered the greatest courage of her life, only to be met with a retreating figure.
How embarrassing!
"This is a red envelope to celebrate the opening of your store. I wish you a prosperous business." Song Yaoyang placed a red envelope on the counter.
"Thank you, I'll order a big one when you open your shop too." Xia Baozhu accepted it with a smile.
"See that? That tall guy is talking to the proprietress again, and he even gave her a red envelope. It's pretty thick, isn't it?"
The two girls had sharp eyes, looking on with a gossipy expression, their eyes scrutinizing the two men's faces like searchlights.
However, Xia Baozhu was wearing a hat and a mask, so all they could see were her smiling eyes.
The tall man's expression was rather intriguing; his smile seemed unnatural, as if he had something to say but hesitated to speak.
Do you think they have that kind of relationship?
"What relationship?"
"I've never seen this man before; he must be from out of town. Look at his clothes and appearance; he's obviously rich. See that car outside? I suspect it's his."
"So what exactly is their relationship?"
The girl whispered in another girl's ear, "Lover."
"Pah! I don't believe it! How can you be like those gossipy women? If you keep this up, I'm not talking to you anymore."
"I have my reasons. Look at him, he's good-looking and rich, he must be married a long time ago. But why did he come all the way from out of town?"
"I don't care, the boss's wife isn't that kind of person, and even good friends would do that."
"Fine, believe it or not, we'll find out sooner or later anyway."
After finishing his speech, Song Yaoyang left. He had spent three days coming to celebrate her opening and had a few close conversations with her.
No wonder long-distance relationships are impossible; the cost is too high.
Fortunately, he wasn't in a long-distance relationship, otherwise the travel expenses alone would have bankrupted him.
That evening, Xia Baozhu took out a red envelope containing 888.88 yuan in brand-new bills.
Surprisingly, Song Yaoyang is quite generous, and the meaning behind this is good.
It would be even better if it were 8888.88, but she definitely wouldn't accept it.
Xia Baozhu recorded the amount in her ledger, and she would go back with Song Yaoyang whenever he had a happy occasion.
With the new store opening successfully, Xia Baozhu is now waiting for a response from the food factory.
During this period, she launched three new flavors of chicken cutlets at both stores: five-spice, spicy, and Sichuan peppercorn, just to prepare for the burgers.
She could actually make bread, but she felt that adding this step would make too many things, so she preferred to have a food factory make it.
Just like the flatbread for roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), she can also customize the flavor.
As I said before, don't try to make all the money in the world.
Moreover, as major clients, they are welcomed by pancake shops, food factories, and meat processing plants alike.
All deliveries are made to your door, which saves a lot of trouble.
Xia Baozhu was preparing to recruit again, and that afternoon Chen Wenbin brought over a smiling young man who seemed friendly.
"Sister Xia, this is my friend Chen Gaozhi. He used to work in a restaurant as a waiter."
Xia Baozhu asked him a few questions and had a pretty good impression of him.
"Then let's stay at the new store and give it a try."
...
"Brother Gun, thank you so much." After getting off work that evening, Chen Gaozhi found Chen Wenbin.
"Just do your job well, remember what I said, don't act impulsively, and don't cause trouble for the store."
"Don't worry, Brother Gun, I'm behaving myself now. Actually, I've figured it out. We used to follow He Fuming just to make a living. The money he paid wasn't much higher, so there was no need to risk our lives for him. Those guys who went in with him were really at a disadvantage."
"Just think it through. Finding a stable job is better than anything else. You'll see after a while. Sister Xia is the best boss I've ever had. It's only a matter of time before you become a big boss. You've come in at the perfect time, so do your best."
"I got it, bro. Just because you said that, I have to work harder. I'm not very educated, but as long as I follow the right person, I won't let them down."
After observing Chen Gaozhi for a week and speaking with Xia Baozhu, San Gou noted down the date of his official appointment in the attendance book.
