Ningjiang City is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River and is a small city in the south of the Yangtze River.

After Lin Junnan returned to Ningjiang, he rarely went out, only staying at home with his parents, or reading books and surfing the Internet. Of course, he was inevitably counted down by his parents all day long. What he heard the most was that his mother kept nagging him to find a girlfriend and tie the knot as soon as possible. Lin Junnan is a filial child, he has been very obedient since he was a child, and when he grew up, he never talked back to his parents. Therefore, whenever his mother nagged about these things, he had to deal with them with a smile, and over time, his mother also lost his temper.

After half a year like this, Lin Junnan's mood has completely calmed down. During this time, he read a lot of books, such as inspiration, entrepreneurship, philosophy of life, and some essays such as "Chicken Soup for the Soul", etc., which became the source of his life nutrients. Some of his classmates and friends came to visit him or invite him to a party. Under everyone's persuasion, he gradually developed the urge to start a new business.

Zheng Qi called Lin Junnan and told him that Sun Kai's 3D mobile game "Adventure Island" had been launched. Zheng Qi affirms that a large part of Sun Kai's game has plagiarized the ideas of "explorers". Now, due to the listing of "Adventure Island", it has had a huge impact on the potential market of Lezhi.

"Sun Kai also held a press conference at a five-star hotel in Shenzhen," Zheng Qi said indignantly on the phone, "and it can be seen that he has invested a lot of money to build momentum for 'MapleStory Island'." Yu Xiaojun and Concubine Xie Yafei also rushed over to participate, and Grandi Capital really invested in Feixiang!"

"Zheng Qi," Lin Junnan said calmly, "I don't think about the past for a long time now, and you don't want to talk about it in the future." Of course, I will continue to pay attention to Lezhi's situation. If one day, Lezhi's 'Explorer' is successfully launched, you should also have a grand press conference! I will definitely rush to congratulate you!"

Lin Junnan invested all his savings from working in Shenzhen into Lezhi. Now, due to the halfway interception of the flying 3D mobile game "Adventure Island", "Explorer" has almost no possibility of going public. Therefore, although he cheered Zheng Qi on the phone, Lin Junnan knew very well in his heart: his investment in Lezhi may have been in vain!

In the days since, Lin Junnan has been thinking about how to start a new business.

Lin Junnan told his father about his situation, saying that his investment in Shenzhen had failed and he was now penniless. I want to start a new business, but I don't have capital.

"What are you going to do?" asked my father.

"When I was in Shenzhen, there was a coffee shop downstairs from the company, and I thought it was quite creative. I think this may be a new type of business social platform. I want to get one in Ningjiang too. ”

"How much does that cost?"

"My classmates helped me find a storefront on Huanhu Road, with a rent of 8,000 per month, paid for three months in advance, plus decoration and pre-procurement, it may cost about 200,000 yuan......"

The father consulted with his wife for a night, and early the next morning, they stuffed a few bank cards into his son's hands.

"Handsome man, this is your mother's pension and all the savings of previous years, a total of 156,000, and we only have so much!

Lin Junnan clutched all the savings of his parents, his heart was sour, and tears were almost rolling down......

On the day of "May Day", Lin Junnan's coffee house officially opened. Perhaps in honor of the two companies he worked for in Shenzhen, he named it "Yule Coffee House". There are only two employees in the entire coffee house - Lin Junnan is both the owner and barista, and a college student is hired to work part-time as a waiter.

Unlike the lively and festive openings of other shops, the opening of Yule Coffee House is very low-key. There were no firecrackers or flower baskets, so Lin Junnan only invited a few old classmates to come and sit down.

After the opening of Yule Cafe, the number of customers soon increased, and most of them were young people. Lin Junnan secretly felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. For him, making money is not the fundamental goal, but if he can create a business atmosphere that makes customers interested, it is the value embodiment of his pursuit.

It's the height of summer in the blink of an eye. On a pouring rainy night, a part-time college student temporarily took a leave of absence, and Lin Junnan was the only one left in the coffee house. He held a book in his hand and sat at the bar with his head bowed and read intently.

Suddenly, a crisp call came from the door: "Huh, is there anyone?"

"Hello!" Lin Junnan stood up from behind the bar.

There was a girl in her twenties standing at the door. Wearing a white silk long-sleeved shirt and low-rise jeans, she was slender, with long hair and a shawl, and a pair of wide-rimmed glasses on her nose. Her upper body was soaked in the rain, and the blue bodice was clearly visible from her back.

Lin Junnan walked up to the girl and reached out to take her umbrella: "Hello, please leave the umbrella to me." ”

The girl stroked the wet hair on her forehead and looked at Lin Junnan: "The rain is too heavy to walk." Can I stay with you for a while?"

"No problem, please sit down!"

"Thank you!" the girl sat down, put down her satchel, and took out a tissue from it to wipe the rain from her forehead.

Lin Junnan put the girl's umbrella in a small plastic bucket by the door, turned back to the bar, poured a glass of lemonade, and brought it to her. "Please drink some water. ”

"Thank you!" the girl smiled at Lin Junnan, then took off her glasses and wiped them.

Lin Junnan found that she actually looks better without glasses: big eyes, long eyelashes, curved eyebrows as thin as willow leaves, and the high bridge of the nose, she is simply the appearance of a "goddess" in the game!

Lin Junnan was stunned......

"Is there something wrong with me?" the girl looked at Lin Junnan suspiciously.

"Oh, nothing, I'm sorry! I—I think we've met somewhere. Lin Junnan panicked and made excuses to prevaricate.

"Yes?......" The girl didn't say anything more, she put on her glasses and looked around the interior of the café, her eyes gradually revealing a kind of praise and appreciation.

Lin Junnan lied just now, but he couldn't think of the next sentence, so he returned to the bar in embarrassment. He picked up something at random as he peeked at the girl. He felt that there was an elegant and quiet temperament permeated with her whole body.

The rain was still pouring outside. The two people in the coffee room didn't say anything more, the girl was scrolling through her mobile phone, and Lin Junnan picked up the book again. The two of them sat quietly, and no guests came in......

I don't know how long it took, but the sound of the rain gradually stopped. The girl looked out the window, got up and said, "Thank you! The rain has stopped, and I can go." ”

Lin Junnan put down the book, walked up quickly to open the door for her, and handed her her umbrella. The girl took the umbrella and smiled at Lin Junnan again, revealing two cute little dimples.

Lin Junnan stood at the door, watching the girl's back disappear around the corner. After that, she reluctantly returned to the house and put away the water glass she had used, and a sense of loss and emptiness arose......

It's early autumn.

Lin Junnan has gradually forgotten the girl he met on that rainy night. The business of Yule Coffee House is very good, and more and more young people are already gathering here. Lin Junnan also often participates in their exchanges, and he seems to have found the feeling of being in Shenzhen Nanshan Science and Technology Park.

On this afternoon, because it was midweek work hours, there were no customers in Yule Cafe, only Lin Junnan alone. Sunlight streams in lazily through the curtains, leaving dappled streaks of light on the floor. Although the weather has started to cool, the outside temperature is still very high at noon, there are fewer pedestrians on the road, and the street is still full of the noise of air conditioners.

Lin Junnan read the book for a while and felt a little tired, so he made himself a cup of coffee, and then sat down at the tea table and tasted it leisurely alone.

The door was pushed open, and a slender figure flashed in through the glare of the sunlight. Lin Junnan looked at it fixedly, huh, isn't this the girl who came here to hide from the rain last time!

"Hello, long time no see!" Lin Junnan got up to greet her warmly.

"Hello, can I rest here with you for a while?" asked the girl softly, "It's too hot outside!"

"Yes, please sit casually!"

The girl looked at it and sat down opposite Lin Junnan's seat just now. Lin Junnan quickly put away the coffee cup he had drunk, cleaned the table, set up the coaster, and served her a glass of lemonade.

"Excuse me, do you want to drink some coffee?" Lin Junnan looked at the girl seriously, and saw that she was a little hesitant, so he quickly added, "Don't want money, I invited you!"

"So, will you do cappuccino?" asked the girl tentatively.

"Cappuccino? Okay, wait a minute. ”

Lin Junnan returned to the bar. He sipped his coffee as he peeked at the girl, wondering where she came from.

The girl took a book out of her bag and looked through it quietly. A ray of sunlight shone down on her, outlining a soft gold rim on the hair of her shawl...... Everything seems so peaceful!

Lin Junnan poured the brewed coffee into a deep-mouthed cup, added sugar cubes and mixed well, prepared milk foam and poured it on the surface of the coffee, inserted a straw, brought the cup to the girl, and gently placed it on the table.

"Please try my cappuccino, I hope you like it!"

"Thank you!" the girl said gently.

Lin Junnan sat down opposite the girl.

"Can you get to know me? My name is Lin Junnan. What's your name, please?"

The girl smiled: "Cheng Yiyi." The 'journey' of the journey, the 'dependence' of the journey. ”

"Oh, Cheng Yiyi, this name is very good!" Lin Junnan said, but another name popped up in his heart at the same time - Wang Qianqian!

"I don't know what Sissi's condition is now...... "He thought to himself.

"Did you open this café yourself?" asked Cheng Yiyi.

"Hmm. ”

"Why did you come up with the idea of opening a coffee house?"

"When I was working in Shenzhen, there was a coffee house that left a deep impression on me. So, I want to try it too!"

"Really, what kind of café is that?"

"Actually, it's nothing special, how to put it, it's just the atmosphere there......"

The two of them are chatting like this, word by word. Cheng Yiyi seems to be very interested in Lin Junnan's experience in Shenzhen, and Lin Junnan is happy to answer all the questions she asks. About half an hour later, Cheng Yiyi's mobile phone rang. After answering the phone, she reluctantly got up.

"Oh! Daddy is urging me to go back again!

"You shouldn't live far away, right?

Before going out, Cheng Yiyi seemed to want to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back and left thoughtfully......
