76 CHAPTER XXXVI
Jin Yu stood in front of the plaque and looked at the two big characters, sighed in his heart, looking at the decoration and furnishings in the store, he knew that it had ushered in glory, but now it was crowded, and the front desk of the store was still dozing off, and he didn't know that two people came in.
"Where's your manager?" Xue Jiyue knocked on the table at the front desk to wake up the dozing little girl. The front desk blinked, and she was probably still judging if this was a guest who had come to eat, or who it was.
"Call your manager and ask him to come down" Xue Jiyue ordered, and the little sister at the front desk dialed the phone resignedly, and she was frightened by Xue Jiyue's dark face at this time.
After a while, there was a hurried footstep upstairs, and a middle-aged short and fat man in a suit and leather shoes appeared in front of the two of them, with unshaved stubble on his chubby face, and he said to Xue Jiyue with a smile on his face, "Mrs. Xue, why don't you say a word to me when you come?"
Xue Jiyue looked him up and down, and didn't say anything reproachful, she pointed to a booth in the store in a flat tone and said, "Let's sit here and talk, close the store."
The short and fat man rubbed his hands and hurriedly called the little sister at the front desk to close the store door, and sat on the sofa of the booth with an eager smile, "Mrs. Xue, why do you have time to come here in person today?"
Xue Jiyue took a good time to look at Jin Yu, who was expressionless on the side, and ignored the manager's dedication. "This is the new general manager who has come to replace you, and you won't have to go to work from tomorrow."
The man's round eyes widened, he didn't expect this thunderbolt on a sunny day to hit him on the head today, although he had a certain amount of preparation in his heart, and he had to bear most of the responsibility for running like this, but when he really brought it up, he still felt a burst of suffocation. He has been doing this position since the imperial management, and in recent years, the imperial business has been declining again and again, as a manager, he has thought of many ways, but for some reason the sales are not rising but falling, and he knows that one day he will leave his post.
"There is no need to resign, Manager Jiang has been in this industry for many years, and his familiarity with the industry is better than mine, and I have confidence with him," Jin Yu said calmly on the side.
The stocky man's drooping head was lifted again, and he began to look at the strange woman earnestly. It is not uncommon for the new to come and the old to go. It is inevitable that there will be a lot of friction between the old man and the old man together, how dare she do this.
"You are still your general manager, and I am your assistant," Jin Yu showed an incomprehensible smile and said another astonishing sentence.
Xue Jiyue squinted her eyes, what she just wanted to say stopped at her lips, she pondered Jin Yu's words and deeds for a while, she suddenly realized, the puzzled gaze just now disappeared, she was really smart and smart.
Seeing that there was no opinion, Jin Yu got up and stretched out a hand to the manager to indicate that today's short conversation was over. Manager Jiang hurriedly stepped forward to hold Jin Yu's hand and smiled and said a few more polite words to her, and sent them away, the smile on Manager Jiang's face disappeared, and his eyes fell on his chubby hand, he couldn't completely understand the woman called Qiu Jinyu, he thought about it and hurriedly went upstairs.
Sitting in the car, Jin Yu shook the glass down, she lit a cigarette, and after taking a puff, she slowly exhaled the smoke. Her every move did not take Xue Jiyue into account, but Xue Jiyue in the co-pilot was not disgusted, to be precise, she was not disgusted with everything Jin Yu did. Jin Yu's cleverness made her seem to see the late Lan Feng, and Jin Yu inherited her exquisite heart very well.
"You're waiting for me to ask you something, right?" Jin Yu finally spoke, and his eyes fell on the windshield.
Xue Jiyue squeezed her shoulders and leaned her head on the back of the chair, which was considered to be an answer to Jin Yu.
"Mother loves you, although she never told me the truth, but I know that there is a person in her heart"
Xue Jiyue listened silently.
"So what happened last night... That's it," Jin Yu threw the cigarette butt out of the window and started the car.
Xue Jiyue sat in her position noncommittally, she smiled slightly, her eyes narrowed into a line, and something seemed to jump and flicker in front of her.
The car drove downstairs to the company, Jin Yu did not accompany Xue Jiyue upstairs but went directly to the store, Guan Xiao went over alone in the afternoon to clean up the small yard that was blown by the typhoon.
Guan Xiao was standing in the yard with a mop head to remove a brick that was about to fall from the pestle wall, Jin Yu hurriedly took it, "I'll come"
Guan Xiao, who was empty, patted the dust on his hands, "I came back so early, I thought you were going to go in the afternoon, did you eat?" “
"No, didn't I come back to eat with you?"
Guan Xiao cut off, "You are all Mr. Qiu, I am still a small self-employed person, we are now standing in a different position"
"Tsk, then you are my wife" Jin Yu hugged Guan Xiao's waist, Jin Yu and Guan Xiao were amused for a while, and the relationship between them seemed to have returned to the same state as before, and they talked about everything.
"How's your talk today?" Guan Xiao was standing in the kitchen cooking delicious food, and on rare days off, she could share lunch with Jin Yu, noon used to be the busiest time, and they were not eating at the same time.
"I met their manager, very casual staff, but also, it was close to noon and there were no customers in and out of the store, much worse than I expected, it was a hot potato" Jin Yu snuggled up to the cupboard, picked up Guan Xiao's fried potato sticks and ate them.
Hearing Jin Yu say this, Guan Xiao's hand chopping vegetables stopped, "Then why did you still offer to take over?" Haven't you been to the field before? “
"I've seen the menu they launched, many dishes have characteristics, they are creating a brand of medicinal food, with Sanding as their major shareholder, it is relatively cheap and easy to obtain medicinal materials, and now there are many people who pay attention to health preservation, and they should be down-and-out like that, excluding external factors and leaving internal causes" Jin Yu simply analyzed for Guan Xiao, and Guan Xiao opened up a little.
"If it's an internal cause, it's hard for you as a layman to get in" Guan Xiao couldn't help but worry again, she admired Jin Yu's keenness, and at the same time was shocked by her boldness, there was no retreat on the desperate road of becoming a benevolent person if she didn't succeed.
"So, I stayed with their manager and I did his assistant"
"You're smart," Guan Xiao grimaced, "By the way, that manager is a man or a woman!" ”
"Man, man, don't hold a kitchen knife, how dangerous it is!" Jin Yu smiled and snatched the kitchen knife in Guan Xiao's hand and put it on the board. "You're so worried about me"
"There are a lot of people who like you, I have to be on guard! And that Xue Jiyue," Guan Xiao's unceremonious tone indicated that she was a woman with a strong desire for possessiveness.
Hearing this name, Jin Yu's face froze, and the movements of his hand and Guan Xiao stopped playing, and the interesting Jin Yu had to change the topic to make himself look less strange. Guan Xiao realized a little bit that Jin Yu seemed to have an estrangement from Xue Jiyue, which was undoubtedly good for her, but this estrangement came too suddenly, so that she couldn't completely put her mind at ease.
"Don't worry about me, we will get better and better" Jin Yu comforted the uneasy Guan Xiao, and their companionship with each other along the way is the best cornerstone. The night she didn't want to mention was to let it fade into her memory.
Makino hugged the skinny Han Shuang upstairs, the old building they lived in did not have an elevator, and Han Shuang's up and down relied on Makino. Her body that can't move easily all year round can easily cause obesity, and she is afraid that her weight will be too much for Makino to bear, so she controls her appetite until the consciousness of eating less becomes her habit. Now she is emaciated. Every time Makino touched the protruding bones on Han Shuang's body, there was another scar in his heart. She had to give Han Shuang a new life, even if she did something against justice, she didn't have any other choice.
"From now on, we will live in the elevator apartment, and you can go downstairs for a walk by yourself," Makino whispered in Han Shuang's ear. "By the way, don't you like to raise flowers, those money is enough for us to buy a rooftop garden, and when the time comes, plant a row of flowers you like in the rooftop garden" Makino is now already looking forward to their future. The seeds that grow in the dark always break the ground one day, and they are about to usher in a new life.
"Makino... Han Shuang whispered Makino's name, from the way back, she was observing Makino, Makino, Makino rarely spoke, she ended this journey in a contemplative state, and Han Shuang was worried about such a Makino.
"What's wrong? It's home, isn't it very uncomfortable to be outside these days, the weather is humid and cold, it seems that winter is not far away" Makino opened the door of the house in response, put Han Shuang on the small sofa, and turned around to go downstairs to get a wheelchair. was dragged by Han Shuang's wrist. "Makino, you... What are you thinking? ”
"I'm thinking about how to decorate our home in the future, after all, we are about to have our first new home of our own" Makino's heart was a little excited, she bent down and looked at Han Shuang level, and a smile hooked up at the corner of her mouth, "Shuang'er can think about how to decorate our new home"
Han Shuang stared at Makino's eyes for a few seconds, she couldn't see the fluctuations in Makino's eyes, maybe Makino's learned how to hide her emotions, "Okay" Han Shuang lowered her head, avoiding Makino's gaze.
"I'll go get a wheelchair" Makino patted Han Shuang's shoulder and opened the door and went out, Han Shuang looked at Makino's back and sighed leisurely. While Makino was going downstairs, she slowly moved to the small handbag she had brought up, which contained Makino and her few clothes and some miscellaneous items. The clothes that weren't very dry before the return trip yesterday were taken out of the small bag by Han Shuang, and just when she took it out, a yellow book suddenly fell from the small bag, which was the book that Makino used to collect case information, she was no stranger, but her eyes focused on a few photos that fell out of the book.
