The next day, still in the coffee shop, I finally came up with a new business plan. First of all, I want to enrich the business content of the store pù and improve the management style, and I am going to find some people who will perform in the venue, so as not to make a lot of trouble, and only perform elegant instruments such as piano and violin.

In addition, the source of customers in the store is unstable, in order to make customers sticky, the best way to use a membership system is to operate, although this will destroy the original business atmosphere, but at the critical moment of life and death, it can not take care of so much.

There is also the platform of WeChat, I want to make a public account about the shop, and regularly publish some information that petty bourgeoisie likes and information about the activities of the store, so that it can be standardized, and sometimes people have to make such a compromise, because society will really ruthlessly eliminate a person who is unwilling to change......

Determined the plan, in the afternoon I found a more professional WeChat public account promoter, we agreed to complete the creation of the official account and the filling of the content within three days, and then I went to the advertising company to place an order for 500 membership cards, and these two projects have cost me more than 6000 yuan, which leads to zhì I have little money left, and the coffee shop's profit income these days is also very small, I fell into a very strict zhòng financial crisis, but I have to grit my teeth and persevere, I just hope to get through this difficult time as much as possible.

After doing these things, I called Zhao Mu, and Yu Xin invited him to watch the awards party and told him, Zhao Mu initially refused, but under my constant encouragement, he finally agreed to go to the appointment.

……

When dusk came, Zhao Mu and I met at the newsstand opposite the "Jinding Real Estate" office building. I lit a cigarette, and looked at this behemoth in front of me with a lot of emotion, it seemed to have fallen, but it stood so strongly, every glass window of it was so clean, but behind the window was full of intrigue, although this kind of intrigue was unbearable, but it also bore the livelihood of tens of thousands of people, so I couldn't understand the world a little, I didn't seem to be a person in the rules of this world!

Zhao Mu asked me in a somewhat lost tone: "Brother Qiao, has Xiao Ai contacted you since he went to Taiwan?" ”

I subconsciously took a deep puff of cigarette before replying, "No...... Actually, it's good for her to go to Taipei, what do you think? ”

Zhao Mu smiled, and he said: "It's a pity that I'm not the man she recognizes in her heart, otherwise I would definitely keep her and then change her opinion of the city." I think that many things are man-made, and blindly avoiding it will only make life more oppressive for you...... I don't want to be such a person, but there are people in this world who make me feel powerless......"

Zhao Mu didn't continue, but I knew that the person he said he couldn't do anything about was Xiao Ai. After a moment of silence, I finally replied, "There is no perfect life in this world, and learning to give up appropriately will lead to a happier life." ”

"Some things can be given up, but some people must not give up lightly, because once you lose her, you will not be happy for the rest of your life."

I extinguished the cigarette in my hand, not wanting to follow Zhao Mu's consciousness to repeatedly entangle in this topic with no way out, so I put my arm on his shoulder and smiled and said, "Don't talk about these things that can't be touched at all...... Let's fill our stomachs first, let's go, brother, please eat hot pot, there is still a highlight after eating. ”

At dusk, I put my arm on Zhao Mu's shoulders and walked towards the hot pot restaurant not far away, we walked easily, but if life is an absorbent sponge, our legs have already stepped on countless heavy footprints, and every word we just said is not nonsense, there is no right or wrong, it just represents the attitude of a person's life.

……

"Nanjing's Most Beautiful Boss Lady" awards party was held in a local five-star hotel, after coming to the venue, seeing the poster, I knew that the person who hosted the party tonight was Chen Yi, which made me feel unclear. Jin Qiu can give me a ticket for this party, and Yu Xin can also give it, but Chen Yi didn't say a word.

It's good to at least prove that we have the same attitude towards the past, and that we are all avoiding intersections with each other, especially in public.

This is a special awards party, representing a positive entrepreneurial spirit, so the lighting on the scene is also very bright in line with the theme, so I saw many women representing the highest level of entrepreneurship in Nanjing, they are dressed brightly, full of energy, words and deeds are revealing the confidence and demeanor of entrepreneurs.

For the first time, I really felt my own insignificance and the thinness of my network, and if I really wanted to make a career in the business world, I would definitely not be what I am now.

Zhao Mu found his place and sat down, this period of work experience made him fade from his youth, and soon he had a fluent conversation with a foreign reporter next to him in English.

Today's Jin Qiu is wearing a black evening dress, she is holding a Gucci limited edition wallet in her hand, the configuration of a standard successful woman, coupled with her innate strong aura and beauty, soon became the focus of the field, although the award ceremony has not officially begun, there are already many people looking at her and chatting about her deeds.

After Jin Qiu said hello to familiar people, she tucked her skirt and sat down in the front seat, she is definitely the protagonist of this party today, because she is the undisputed most beautiful proprietress of the house.

Jin Qiu found me in the crowd and waved to me with a smile, and I also responded with a smile from her, which had no special meaning, just the way the male girlfriend greeted the female buddy when he saw it.

I am a gregarious person, but I am not stage frightened, seeing that the passage is blocked by a crowded crowd, I pressed the back of the chair and jumped to the side of Jin Qiu, and this action attracted a lot of rolling eyes, but I still sat down beside her casually, and then complained that the temperature of the venue was too high, and there were all kinds of perfumes and women's scents everywhere.

……

At half past seven in the evening, the party officially began, Chen Yi, who was dressed in a white dress, and another influential local host appeared, and I subconsciously looked at her......

Although we grew up together, I rarely had the opportunity to see her host on the spot, but I didn't feel closer because of this, but I felt a sense of alienation, because it was impossible for us to have any verbal communication on this occasion, not even the intersection of eyes, but I think this is the real Chen Yi, a beautiful and wise woman, born to be a messenger on the stage.

After awarding several awards, Yu Xin and another female singer sang a song "Sonorous Rose", although her voice is not as ethereal as Xiao Ai, but her high-pitched voice controls the treble part very well, she is a professional female singer with high professionalism, and this song also sang the hearts and feelings of female entrepreneurs, and won a lot of applause at the scene.

I also applauded with everyone, laughing and sighing that this is the shining stage for women. In an instant, I felt that Yu Xin was no longer the ignorant girl who pestered me to introduce her to performance opportunities, and her diligence and excellent professional knowledge will definitely give her a place in this industry.

I subconsciously looked back at Zhao Mu again, he was also applauding and cheering for Yu Xin on the stage, but his eyes were still determined and calm, and he didn't have the enthusiasm that I hated to slap my hands in.

In this regard, I understand that we are not the same kind of people, I am too temperamental, he is naturally calm.

……

Two hours passed, the party finally ushered in the highlight, Chen Yi began to read out the "Nanjing most beautiful boss lady" first place speech, she dignified and generous said: "She is a highly educated doctor who returned from studying abroad, after returning to China in just half a year, she has the courage to speak for the industry, lead the industry trend, break the shackles of the industry, and become a model for a new generation of women to start a business...... Let us congratulate the roses of beauty and wisdom with the warmest applause, golden autumn...... She was the most beautiful hostess tonight! ”

After saying this, Chen Yi took the lead in applauding, Jin Qiu also stood up calmly, folded her hands to thank those who congratulated her, and then walked towards the podium with strong steps, she hugged Chen Yi at the first time, Chen Yi whispered congratulations in her ear, and the media present also aimed their cameras at these two women who represent the highest level in their respective industries at this time......

There is a blood surging in my heart, as women, they are passionate and calmly faced, so what reason do I have as a man not to work hard and not struggle? Driven by this enthusiasm, my applause became more enthusiastic, and I gradually understood Jin Qiu's good intentions, she hoped that I would not lose to these women, that I should be passionate in my short life, and that one day I would have a more shining stage than them.

Jin Qiu took the trophy representing the highest honor from the hands of the deputy mayor, she held the trophy in her hand, and then gave me an encouraging look through the many eyes, then looked at the trophy and said: "At this moment, I feel that the trophy in my hand is very heavy, but I don't feel that I am the winner of this event, because every stage of life is temporary, and the sisters sitting here are also very good, and the next stage may not be me standing here!" …… In addition, I think the selection of the most beautiful boss lady is definitely not a comparison between women, but represents the ** and autonomy of women in the new era, so this honor belongs to all entrepreneurial women, and I hope that the future days will encourage you to create more value for the society...... Finally, thank you to the organizers, peers, leaders, and all sisters, I will continue to work hard! ”

Jin Qiu is such a calm, decent and logical woman, she is a natural leader, just a few words resonated with all the women in the audience, and then dedicated the warmest applause tonight to her, and in this thunderous applause, I seemed to see her in the debate a few years ago......

I admire her, respect her and trust her!

……

The awards party finally ushered in the end of the moment, Jin Qiu came to me with the trophy, smiled and said to me: "How is it, what is it like to participate in this awards party?" ”

"It's shocking, it turns out that roses can not only be tender like water but also passionate like fire!"

"Huh...... But it's you men who dominate this society! ”

"Come on, sonorous rose, you're a woman born for a challenge."

Jin Qiu smiled, then patted me on the shoulder and replied: "Let's not talk about these heavy responsibilities on me, we said before that we would go to the movies, do you still recognize this, my male girlfriend?" ”

"Admit it, wait for me for ten minutes, I'll go talk to Yu Xin about something."

"Well, I just went backstage to change my clothes."

……

I found Yu Xin, who had already changed into her clothes, in the venue, and I said to her, "Give me ten minutes, and I'll talk to you about something." ”

"Brother Jiangqiao, I can only give you five minutes, Zhao Mu is waiting outside for me to go to supper together, I can't let him wait too long!"

"I rely on ......"

"Four minutes left!"

I couldn't laugh or cry, but I could understand it, because I had loved someone before, and I was afraid that she would wait for me, and I would consider everything from her point of view, so I nodded, picked the key point and said: "I told you about the coffee shop, I hope you can help find some friends with a higher level of performance to perform in my coffee shop, the coffee shop is very difficult now, and there is an urgent need to enrich the content of the business!" ”

"Okay, I'll do my best to help you!"

"Well, hurry up and find Zhao Mu, don't let him wait too long."

Yu Xin was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and said to me: "Brother Jiangqiao, if Xiao Ai is still in Nanjing, do you still need to worry about these things?" None of us have her temperament and musical talent, and if she can perform in residence, it will be the best advertisement! ”

I felt an unspeakable sadness in my heart, but I didn't express it in any words, I just waved my hand at Xin and motioned for her to hurry up and find Zhao Mu.

Yu Xin turned around and left in the next moment, but I looked at the crowd leaving in a trance, I thought of Xiao Ai again, imagining that she was still by my side, I was a barista and pastry chef, she was a teacher for the children during the day, and she performed for me at night, and we had a prosperous coffee shop......

I looked down and smiled, this unattainable beautiful picture is precisely the source of my sadness, some people are gone, she will not come back!

……

"Jiang Qiao, you are standing like a sculpture, what are you thinking?"

The appearance of Jin Qiu finally pulled me out of the sad love, I looked at her, took out my mobile phone and said: "I'm happy today, I buy movie tickets, I buy popcorn, and I buy ...... popcorn."

Jin Qiu squeezed and said: "Jiang Qiao, your sudden outbreak of local tyrant aura makes me dare not look at it directly!" ”

"Haha...... I'm just a man with such explosive power, popcorn and big drinks, I don't care if you eat and drink to your heart's content, and then let you see how extravagant our proletariat is! ”

"It's extravagant, your popcorn is all diamond cut, right? Don't flash my eyes, I won't be able to watch the movie when I look back! ”

"Shall we keep a low profile?"

Jin Qiu pinched my arm and said angrily: "You are so stinky and poor, we can't even catch up with the field at half past ten." ”

I exhaled, forgetting all the shocks and regrets of tonight, and the next moment I pulled Jin Qiu towards the exit, and Chen Yi also walked out of the other door, we took a look at each other, but did not say "hello", and then we each walked in the direction we wanted to reach......
