Qin Yueyue couldn't remember how it ended that day, and he only remembered that his mind was full of ", slot, slot, slot".

No one would have thought that Huang Lu would pierce the window paper so straightforwardly.

What no one expected was that Cheng Yan was not embarrassed or panicked at all.

Zou Yingying still wanted to pretend that nothing had happened at first and continue to eat, but as soon as the chopsticks were raised, they slipped from between their fingers and collided with an incomparably crisp and loud sound on the ceramic tableware.

Three seconds later, Zou Yingying got up and ran out with her bag.

Cheng Yan glanced at Huang Lu, lowered his head and put the scattered tableware in place, looked at Huang Lu, and his tone was equally flat: "Brother Lu, what's wrong?"

"I'm blind. Huang Lu still had no expression on his face.

"Eat more fish blindly, and be blind. Cheng Yan re-clamped a piece of salmon and put it on Huang Lu's dish.

"I thank you. ”

"You're welcome. ”

Everyone finished the meal in a rather delicate atmosphere. When they separated, Cheng Yan even smiled and waved his hand to Huang Lu and Qin Yueyue.

Later, Zou Yingying never appeared again.

"I can't see that Cheng Yan looks like five or six people, and he still does such dirty things. When Zhang Yanan heard Qin Yueyue talk about it, he immediately became angry and said, "It's good that you didn't give them anything to eat last time, otherwise I would have been disgusted for a long time." ”

"Fortunately, this girl is also sensible, and she can come out in time after being trapped," Luo Qiang couldn't help frowning and asked, "I just don't know, whether she got her salary." Anyway, I also worked upstairs for two months, and I didn't even get my salary, which was even worse. ”

"The wages are all paid. Huang Lu continued, saying: "When I was downstairs two days ago, I asked one of their colleagues, and the other party clearly told me that I not only got my salary but also got three months of compensation. ”

Qin Yue was speechless: "Good guy, this treatment is comparable to that of the Grand Duke, and he will be compensated three times when he resigns." ”

"Then why don't you try it too?" Huang Lu's tone was full of ridicule, and said, "Conscientious boss, you can't find it." ”

"No, no, no, no," Qin Yueyue suddenly shook his head like a rattle, and said, "Moreover, is the point of this matter to compensate or not?"

"It's all the same. Huang Lu shrugged.

"But seriously," Qin Yueyue cleared his throat, and his tone and expression were extremely pompous: "After this battle, Brother Lu, your status and image in my heart have been raised by at least five notches in an instant!"

"Not uncommon. ”

"Eh, can you cooperate a little bit and praise you. ”

"If you praise me, I will accept it. Huang Lu sneered and said, "It's not rare. ”

"Cheng Yan, this person ......" Lin Xiao thought for a while and asked, "What is it like at work?"

Even though so many things have happened, when Huang Lu mentions it again, in addition to being irritable, he also hides a little regret. It's just that when it comes to Cheng Yanlai, Huang Lu first talks about the other party's life, but he doesn't mention Cheng Yan about work.

Obviously, Huang Lu didn't expect Lin Xiao to ask this question, and after being stunned for a moment, he replied: "I have ideas, I have vision, and I also have courage and action. ”

Huang Lu still didn't say much, and the adjectives he used were monotonous but quite precise, which was almost the highest evaluation he could give.

"No wonder you were friends at the time. Lin Xiao smiled.

Huang Lu looked at her, and then laughed as well: "Yes, that's why we were able to be friends at that time." ”

Huang Lu and Cheng Yan became friends and even confidants because they had the same goals and were like-minded. But when the banner of morality fell head-on, Huang Lu may have been able to selectively ignore some things and continue to be friends with the other party on work, but he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart and finally chose to stand on the opposite side of Cheng Yan.

The relationship between people is far more complex than imagined. It is not only love that needs to be responsible, but also friendship.

"On the third day of his arrival," Huang Lu lowered his head, laughed, and said, "We have been talking about the topic of e-commerce, and by the time I came to my senses, it was already five o'clock in the morning." ”

I don't know what kind of psychology he came from, Huang Lu told people for the first time that he had been buried in his heart, and the affirmation of Cheng Yan that was unknown and didn't seem to need to be mentioned again.

The more because of this irresistible thing, the two have completely stood on opposite sides, the easier it will be to regret it.

After all, on the premise of putting aside all reality, the two did really appreciate each other.

"He's pretty good. Huang Lu seriously recalled that when he and Cheng Yan first met.

When did they meet the first time, Huang Lu couldn't remember it anymore. The upper floor has been vacant for a long time, so long that Huang Lu can't remember the name of the original owner upstairs.

Later, someone moved in, and it seemed that there were quite a few people. When I was standing at the window and smoking, I could still hear the sound of people upstairs pulling their throats and interacting with each other. With sporadic information and haunted express delivery, Huang Lu estimated that the upstairs should also be doing e-commerce.

The other party is also good, and occasionally when they meet in the commissary downstairs, they will smile and nod with Huang Lu. It's not particularly hot, and there's no deliberate distance and indifference.

Until one day, Huang Lu stood at the window smoking as usual, with his back to the windowsill and looking at the sound of talking coming from the stairwell. Although the upstairs has only been moved here for a short time, it has always been more lively than Fantes, there are more people, and it sounds like business is also very good.

Huang Lu was not only faintly envious in his heart.

Just when Huang Lu was about to finish smoking a cigarette in his hand, Cheng Yan appeared at the corner of the stairs, raised his head to meet Huang Lu's gaze, and raised the corners of his lips.

I don't know what kind of mentality I had, Huang Lu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, smoked one out and signaled to the other party.

Cheng Yan waved his hand to refuse, but took the initiative to walk down the stairs.

"No pumping, thanks. ”

"It's good not to smoke, healthy. ”

"If you know it's not healthy, then you still smoke. Cheng Yan's eyes swept over the ashtray on the windowsill, and said funny: "It seems that you still smoke a lot, almost every time I see you, I am standing here and smoking." ”

"Isn't it bad business in the store," Huang Lu got up, pointed upstairs, and said, "Your business is very good, I listen to you being busy every day, but it's lively." ”

Cheng Yan smiled, and did not continue with the topic, but turned his head and asked, "Didn't bother you?" ”

There was sincerity and worry in his eyes.

Huang Lu was still a little embarrassed, it was originally a normal chatter, how did it sound like eating lemons.

"No, no, it's just very lively with simple emotion. After Huang Lu finished speaking, he thought about it and added: "I can see that my eyes are red, and I want to ask you if you can recruit temporary workers there." ”

"Summer and autumn are off-season, and it should get better after a while. Cheng Yan said in a calm tone and comforting with a smile.

"Hopefully, looking at the half-dead appearance in the first half of the year, I don't know if the second half of the year will get better. After speaking, Huang Lu looked at Cheng Yan with some curiosity and asked, "What, are you also making women's clothes?"

Cheng Yan was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Well, women's clothing." However, the platform is different from you, and now it is mainly a group purchase volume, which is just starting. ”

"It's great to be able to do this when you're just starting out. Huang Lu looked at Cheng Yan and asked casually, "Eh, how do you know that my platform is different from yours." ”

Cheng Yan laughed and said, "Guess." ”

"So easy to guess?"

"Next to several cities around Hangzhou, eight out of ten people who work at home and are still sad are engaged in e-commerce. Cheng Yan continued unhurriedly: "Of the eight of them, five of them should be made of women's clothing. ”

Huang Lu couldn't help but be happy and said, "Think about it. ”

The two became familiar inexplicably, although the platforms are different, they are also women's online stores, and they are as small as how many couriers have been sent today, and how strange the popularity released in Europe and the United States this year is.

"The most consistent attitude we have towards the pop. ”

Lin Xiao asked: "Make the popularity of Europe and the United States our own style?"

Huang Lu laughed and nodded seriously.

Even when NEW/STEP was fine, Huang Lu was busy going in and out every day, communicating with the design department and arguing with suppliers, and contacting many people back and forth. With his character, there are hardly any people who are difficult to deal with. Out of ten, six or seven can be friends with him.

But he didn't have a confidant.

E-commerce is still too new for the physical industry, and it is at the end of the chain of contempt.

The better NEW/STEP's business is, the busier Huang Lu becomes, but when it comes to the occasional busy break, Huang Lu can't help but feel at a loss.

It doesn't seem to know how to move forward, and it doesn't know that it's going in the right direction.

From the beginning of NEW/STEP, to the end, to the current Fantes, it seems that he is struggling to move forward in the torrent of e-commerce alone. There are many people who can talk, but the only like-minded person is Cheng Yan.

Even if Cheng Yan doesn't smoke, he will come to the windowsill from time to time to stroll, and the two became friends in this way.

He said that he is only here to make woolen sweaters, after all, the prices here are low, and they are all factories. Huang Lu chuckled and said, "I also introduced him to a lot of factories and some store stalls with good versions." ”

Cheng Yan also reciprocated the same sincerity, saying that his own operation ideas, promotion ideas and even follow-up development directions.

Compared with offline stores, the threshold for online stores is negligible.

The brand of the offline store, the traffic of the location, the size of the façade and even the decoration style can clearly show the financial and material resources of a store in front of everyone. From the very beginning, it was divided into different levels.

However, the online store is different, and it only needs an all-in-one computer to do everything. No matter how expensive the goods are sent from here, and how many couriers are sent, it is just a light blue name on the Internet. Whether it is a cute girl or a big man, opening and closing your mouth is inseparable from the word "pro".

Fashion Trends, Logistics Express, Operation Activities, Art and Decoration...... Whether it's a big store that sells countless goods every day, or a small store that is just struggling to make ends meet, there are countless common topics when you get together. At least in some ways, they can be considered equal.

Huang Lu and Cheng Yan hit it off, and it is not an exaggeration at all.

"So," Huang Lu shrugged his shoulders and said in a fluttering tone: "For a period of time after Zou Yingying didn't appear, I also chose to act as if this incident hadn't happened." ”

After entering the society for many years, Huang Lu has heard of or seen a lot of more chaotic and uncomfortable things. It's just that other people's lives have nothing to do with themselves after all, holding high the banner of morality and shouting and killing to the people around them, it is only yourself who is embarrassed.

"But you think of him as a really good friend, so that's why you're even more disappointed. Lin Xiao glanced at him and said.

Huang Lu smiled, as if sighing, and said, "Zou Yingying's matter, we never mentioned it again. But not long after, Cheng Yan recruited a new assistant. ”

After that, I couldn't see it. When Huang Lu said this, he couldn't help frowning.

At the beginning, he was still the other party who was estimated to be the same as Zou Yingying, who was deceived. When you meet, try to remind them in a way that is calm and does not hurt the other person's self-esteem.

But she didn't listen, and then I simply left it alone. ”

When the spring ended, Cheng Yan returned to Guangzhou, and after the upstairs was empty, Huang Lu never saw the new assistant again.

"Last summer, just before Sang Ying, Cheng Yan hired an assistant again. Huang Lu sighed and said, "Originally, this matter is none of my business, and I don't bother to get involved." But I didn't expect that the one from before would come back to me. ”

"What are you looking for?"

"Take the lead for her. ”

“？？？”
