Qin Yin returned to the hostel and suddenly remembered Yang Yun. Yang Yun is gone, and she will pay for the accommodation of one room by herself. This is undoubtedly an inseparable expense for the thrifty Qinyin, and she wants to ask the salesman if there are any girls living with her. The salesperson told her that the girl who stayed with you last night didn't leave and was still in the room.

Qin Yin heard that Yang Yun was still there, so she took three steps and two steps, rushed to the door of the room, and knocked on the door hurriedly. Yang Yun opened the door and happily hugged Qin Yin. The two girls looked at each other and smiled.

Yang Yun said: "I didn't have a ticket to buy today, I have to wait, I have a ticket tomorrow." For some reason, when I heard your knock on the door, I was ecstatic. ”

Kotone said, "Me too." For some reason, I'm glad to hear you're still here. ”

Two girls who have no relatives and no reason, and who are helpless, are always easy to get acquainted and dependent on each other in a big place like a provincial capital, in a state of loneliness. Qinyin and Yang Yun have known each other for a day, just like old friends who have been reunited after a long absence.

This night, Qin Yin and Yang Yun were already like old friends, and they had a heart-to-heart conversation in the hostel. Qin Yin told Yang Yun all the experiences of the day. Yang Yun also told Qin Yin about her experience.

Yang Yun had studied in college and knew foreign languages, and when she heard that the special economic zone had introduced the first Sino-foreign joint venture, she wanted to find a career related to foreign languages in the special economic zone. Yang Yun always thinks long-term, saying that the special economic zone will be more prosperous in the future, and the power of knowledge will be more obvious, etc., Qin Yin felt his shallowness in the conversation with Yang Yun, and his vision was not as far-sighted as Yang Yun. She was secretly glad to have met a college graduate like Yang Yun, which brought her a lot of useful thinking and inspiration.

The next day, Yang Yun really left and went to the special economic zone. Before dawn, Qin Yin helped with the luggage and saw off at the station, and watched Yang Yun's bus drive out of the station.

Koin took her luggage and arrived at the restaurant. Chen Lai had been preparing the ingredients for a long time, and he was very happy to see Qin Yin coming. For example, many customers will come to breakfast at dawn, and if they don't get up early to prepare in advance, they won't be able to do it at dawn.

In the morning and at noon, the guests were eating as usual. Chen Lai and Qin Yin are also doing their own things in an orderly manner.

At dinner, some guests came and began to call Kotone "hostess". Kotone was busy with things and didn't pay much attention to it. But later, more and more people called her "boss lady", and there was a tendency to get out of control. Qin Yin pondered in her heart: The boss is Chen Lai, a man, is the "boss lady" a female boss? The real boss can't be fake, the fake boss can't be real, Chen Lai shouldn't have an opinion, right?

Chen Lai really has no opinion, whenever someone calls Qinyin "boss lady", Chen Lai laughs and does not speak, and even follows the guests to call Qin Yin "boss lady".

When people went to the pavilion, Qin Yin asked Chen Lai: "Everyone calls me the boss lady, what does the boss lady mean?"

Chen Lai said mysteriously: "The boss lady is a title that has just been born in the provincial capital, and it generally refers to the boss's wife. ”

"Oops! they misunderstood!" Qin Yin shouted with a red smile on her face, "You are so bad, you know that others are wrong, not only do you not correct it, but you also scream indiscriminately!"

"If you're really the boss, I can't ask for it. Chen Lai said half-jokingly, half-tentatively, "There are only you and me in this restaurant, of the same age, talented men and women, and everyone intuitively thinks that we are husband and wife." ”

"No, no. Gotta let the guests know I'm not the hostess. Kotone said.

From the next day, when a guest calls Qin Yin "boss lady", Qin Yin always adds: "I'm not the boss lady." For several days in a row, the most common sentence of Qin Yin was "I'm not the boss lady".

Within a few days, "I'm not the hostess" became the mantra of the restaurant's customers. Some naughty guests come into the restaurant and casually ask, "'I'm not the hostess'?" and "I'm not the hostess, I want a bowl of pork and cabbage." "I'm not a hostess, pay. Slowly, people seem to forget the original name of the restaurant, and occasionally hear customers outside the restaurant saying, "This is a restaurant where I am not the hostess." ”

More and more people are eating at restaurants, and more and more people are laughing and scolding with Kotoon. Some people come to dine purely to laugh with Kotoon. Some guests said that looking at the sound of the piano and saying a few words, their appetite was better than elsewhere. Chen Lai never minded the good music of the diners, and he was happy to be busy with this and that every day.

A few days later, when night fell and people went to the empty hall and only Chen Lai and Qinyin were left, Chen Lai counted and counted the money he had earned in the past few days, and took out the abacus, and the sound of "crackling" dialing the plan rang several times. Then he lowered his voice and said to Qinyin: "Wow! Business has been good these days, and I have earned back all the profits of the previous half month." ”

Qin Yin smiled "hee-hee", and the restaurant business was booming, which she was also happy to see.

Chen Lai was very satisfied with the business of the restaurant, and took out twenty yuan from the collection and handed it to Qinyin: "Reward you." ”

Qin Yin looked at the two ten-yuan bills, didn't dare to take them, and muttered timidly: "When I was a part-time announcer in my hometown, the monthly subsidy was only thirteen yuan. Now you've only been working for a few days, and it's only twenty yuan?"

Chen said: "This is the difference between self-employment and state-ownedness, and the money earned by self-employed people is at their own disposal. I'm willing to give it to you, and you want it. ”

"Okay. Qin Yin lowered his head, still timidly took the two ten-yuan bills, and then quickly handed one back to Chen Lai.

Chen Lai looked at Qin Yin in a daze, and only came to his senses for a while: "Qin Yin, you are really an honest and responsible good girl." ”

"No, I just thought, you're the boss, and you're the one who cooks. I'm just helping with chores and can't ask you for that much money. Qin said in a low voice.

"Alright then," Chen Lai took the money handed back by Qin Yin and put it back in his pocket. Then he said to Qinyin: "I have a sister in Hong Kong, and I heard that the country has reformed and opened up, and she is ready to return to the mainland to invest." ”

"Hong Kong?" Qin Yin blurted out, "Life in Hong Kong should be very good, right? I remember that some people in our village longed for Hong Kong in the past, but they couldn't escape it." ”

"Better than ours. Chen said.

"Wow! I thought the provincial capital was already very good, but I didn't expect Hong Kong to be even better than the provincial capital?"

"Yes, my sister is in Hong Kong, and I often hear her talk about life there. Chen said, "It is precisely because I have heard a lot of things in Hong Kong that my thinking is a little ahead of many people, such as testing the waters of self-employment, and I also listened to my sister's advice." ”

Chen Lai also said that the land of Nanyue was originally the hometown of overseas Chinese, and it was adjacent to Hong Kong and Macao, and many overseas Chinese often came back to talk about their affairs, so we should accept more foreign things and be more advanced in our ideological concepts.

Qin Yin listened quietly to Chen Lai's words. Chen said: "I see that you are not a greedy person for money, so I want to introduce you to my sister. ”

"Huh?" said Kotone, flattered, "what did you introduce to your sister?"

My sister said that she wanted to find a helper in the mainland, preferably one who could speak foreign languages and was not greedy for money. Chen Lai said seriously.

"But I don't know a foreign language. Qin Yin lowered her head. Suddenly, he suddenly raised his head again and shouted as if he had discovered a new continent: "Yang Yun!"

"Who is Yang Yun?"

"It's the girl who stayed with me last night. She graduated from university and knows foreign languages. “
