However, one minute passed and Zhou An did not reply, five minutes passed and Zhou An did not reply, and ten minutes passed without Zhou An replying.

Zhang Xiaoxin experienced the feeling of throwing a fish hook into a dung pit and not responding for a long time.

Of course, this feeling was unpleasant, and inevitably, the heart she had just warmed up gradually became cold again.

Lying alone on the balcony railing, looking at the night outside, she felt lonely as snow, and the dark night sky seemed to symbolize her emotional world.

……

And what is Zhou An doing at this time?

Cooking in the kitchen again?

Not really!

With the opening of his second store on the agenda and the lease of the store already negotiated, he became increasingly aware that it was time for him to switch roles.

Because when his second branch opened, plus the old store in Yinma County, he would have three stores under his name.

And no matter how good his cooking skills are, he is just one person, one hand, he has no doppelganger skills, three restaurants, he can't each of them go to the cooking himself, he has realized that if he still can't change roles as soon as possible, three restaurants may be his limit.

Even whether the third store can successfully make a profit has to be questioned.

Because if he can't change roles and always focus most of his energy on cooking himself, then he will definitely have very little energy to manage the three stores.

In that case, what will the future of the three negligent restaurants be?

At this time, he was in the branch of Xinbai Commercial Street, not in the kitchen, and when Zhang Xiaoxin sent him a message, he was helping to pack and distribute takeaway business at the bar.

Tonight, his business in the store is good, the attendance situation is quite optimistic, the hall on the first floor is basically full, the hall on the second floor also has a attendance rate of fifty or sixty percent, and several private rooms also have guests dining inside.

When business is good, the staff in the store seem to be busy.

In addition, the takeaway business in his store has been getting better and better recently, and the other positions are okay, although everyone is busy, they can barely get busy.

There is only one part of the bar, and the newly recruited cashier Chen Jing has to take orders for customers, check out for customers, and be busy with takeaway orders, so she can't be busy at all.

Usually when the business is not too busy, Qu Yanyang, as the lobby manager, can still come to help, but at this time, there are a lot of diners in the store, Qu Yanyang has to help receive guests and help serve food, so he can't spare the energy to help the bar.

As a result, Zhou An could only go on top in person.

Who made him the boss?

At the critical moment, there is not enough manpower, who will he not be able to go to? If he loses business, the losses are all his own.

When Zhang Xiaoxin's message came, he was answering a takeaway call at the bar, while asking about the guests' demands, he took a pen to shorthand down the things ordered by the guests, and after answering the phone, a few packaged meals were delivered from the kitchen, he hurried to hand over the takeaway list that he had just written to the apprentice who came out of the kitchen, and he had to be busy taking the packing bag, putting a few takeaway meals packed in the lunch box, putting them in the packing bag, with disposable chopsticks, napkins and other small things, and then handing them to the takeaway delivery staff who were already waiting in front of the bar.

The restaurant is already noisy, and he has takeaway calls coming in from time to time, and the phone rings from time to time, and he himself is still busy, just ask: How could he pay attention to the prompt tone sent by Zhang Xiaoxin in a text message?

That's half an hour.

In addition, before Zhang Xiaoxin's text message was sent, he had been helping at the bar for more than an hour, and almost two hours passed before and after, and he finally became a little free.

At this time, the meal at the peak of the dinner period has just passed, and at least the takeaway list is obviously a lot less.

The diners in the restaurant are also a little sparse.

Chen Jing, who is in charge of the cashier, finally has time to take care of the takeaway.

Maybe it's to show yourself in front of the boss! Seeing that she is finally not so busy, Chen Jing smiled and took over the boxes of takeaway meals that had just been delivered from the kitchen, and said to Zhou An with a smile: "Boss, it's okay, I can be busy now, you can go and rest first! ”

"Well, okay! Chen Jing, don't worry! If the business in the store is still so good in the next few days, I will help you recruit another helper at the bar, and I won't let you be so busy all the time!"

Zhou An casually drew a cake for her and gave her a smile, and then walked out of the store unhurriedly, ready to go outside to take a breath and smoke a cigarette by the way.

Habitually came to the park lake across the road, took out a cigarette, and habitually wanted to sit on the park guardrail, suddenly thought of the last time he was pushed into the lake by a stranger, so he looked left and right, thought about it and came down.

was really bitten by a snake once and afraid of the well rope for ten years, and the last time it happened, it still left a little shadow in his heart.

Not to mention this season, the weather is still cold, even if it is a hot summer day, it is definitely not a good experience to be suddenly pushed into the lake.

How can he say that he is now a small boss with a net worth of millions, if such a mess is seen by the employees in the store, will he lose face?

Got off the guardrail, leaned his butt against the guardrail, pursed his lips, lit a cigarette, habitually took out his mobile phone, and saw if anyone had called him or texted him when he was busy just now.

This is a common occurrence.

Sometimes someone from the old store in Yinma County called him, sometimes it was his parents, relatives and friends, and sometimes, the supplier might call him.

Anyway, as the business gradually grows, more and more people call him to find him.

The screen of the mobile phone lit up, and he finally saw the text message that Zhang Xiaoxin sent to him half an hour ago.

"Are you busy?"

Seeing the three words that Zhang Xiaoxin sent him, he blinked, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, just now he remembered the last time he was pushed into the lake, and in the blink of an eye, he saw the message sent by Zhang Xiaoxin, who was unlucky with him last time, and he couldn't help but think of the last intimate contact with her.

At this time, he still remembered how thrilling and seductive she was after her long legs ripped off her pants.

Not only is it long, not only white, but also round, smooth and delicate.

Of course, the rest of her body is also very good-looking, and it feels good to kiss her, and when I think about it at this time, it is still endless, and it is much more fun than a snake.

"Well, I was a little busy just now, so I was free, what about you? Today Monday, you don't have to study at night?"

Casually edited a text message to go back to the past, and he wasn't sure when Zhang Xiaoxin would reply, so he first found the snake and started playing, anyway, he was idle.

……

On the balcony of a girls' dormitory at the Liugu Conservatory of Music, Zhang Xiaoxin, who was stunned and looking at the night outside, finally felt the mobile phone in her hand vibrate twice, opened the phone and saw that it was Zhou An who replied to her, and after reading the content of his reply, her sad face finally bloomed with a smile.

The heart, which had been cold for more than half an hour, suddenly became warm again.

The slender jade fingers immediately skillfully edited the text message to reply to him.

"Well, I didn't go to the evening self-study tonight, I'm a little bored now, can I come to you?"
