Chapter 87: Brotherly Cooperation

Chen Yi and I lay on the guardrail and looked at the calm river, and for a moment I was so impulsive that I wanted to jump into the river to fish out the ring that had slipped from my hand, but reason told me that it was in vain. At this moment, the bottomless water is like a huge funnel that quietly swallows up the warmth between us because of a ring.

I finally said to Chen Yi: "The ring fell into the river." ”

Chen Yi's gaze never left the river, and he replied after a long time: "If you drop it, you don't mean to." ”

I nodded, without saying much, but still regretting in my heart, because the ring is no more than anything else, its symbolic meaning is greater than its practical meaning, and once lost, there is no substitute.

Chen Yi had another ring on her hand, she put it in her handbag, and she didn't mention that she wanted to engrave her name, and in fact, there was no need to engrave it again, and the only remaining ring could only be kept as a souvenir......

At this time, Chen Yi's mobile phone rang, it was Qin Miao who called her, and she asked us to go to a restaurant near the Slender West Lake attraction for lunch. We didn't pay attention to the loss of the ring, and we talked about other things along the way, but the regret in our hearts was still there...... At least I regretted it so much that I wanted to vomit blood, and I really wanted to wear that ring for Chen Yi with my own hands, although it was not a wedding ring, but it was a contract of love between us.

……

When I came to the restaurant that Qin Miao said, I accidentally found a BMW X6 with a Nanjing license plate parked at the door, I stopped and looked at it for a while, and then asked Chen Yi beside me: "Isn't this Qiao Ye's car, he is also here?" ”

"Well, it was originally going to be together, but then a few people came to his hotel to check fire safety, and he coped with it and fell behind us."

I nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that he and Qin Miao have really reconciled, if it was too late for him to hide from Qin Miao before!" ”

In this regard, Chen Yi didn't say much, just motioned for me to hurry up and go upstairs, Qin Miao and Qiao Ye had been waiting for us for a while, and I subconsciously stuffed the transfer agreement sent by Yu Ya into my pocket before I went up. At this moment, this agreement that is not complicated but has Su Han's name is a time bomb, God knows if he will be able to face Qin Miao, a veritable wife, in his current mood if he is discovered by Qiao Ye.

After entering the box of the restaurant, I sat with Qiao Ye, Chen Yi and Qin Miao sat by the window, where the view is the best, almost the panoramic view of the Slender West Lake, and even where I am can see the "Wuting Bridge" and the White Tower, they have become the most beautiful scenery under the embellishment of the lake, and this is the privilege of the rich, I believe that this meal will not be less than 3000 yuan, because the location of the restaurant is really good.

I looked at Chen Yi and Qin Miao, the two were discussing time to travel abroad, I couldn't interject, so I asked Qiao Ye beside me, "I heard that you got a batch of bicycles and electric cars for free for guests?" ”

Qiao Ye replied proudly: "How about it, this idea is good, right?" ”

"It's hard to say creatively, I heard that I lost an electric car on the first day, and I have to pay for bleeding, right?"

"Don't open any pot and mention which pot, people are student couples, and the economy is not **, can I make people compensate!"

I asked again, "You didn't spend less money on these cars, did you?" ”

"The standard of 3,000 yuan for electric cars and 1,000 yuan for bicycles, I want to let the guests feel the sincerity of our hotel and hope they have a good time in Nanjing."

I sighed: "It's over, I won't be able to earn back the money I invested in half a year." After thinking about it, I added: "I definitely won't be able to earn it back, and I almost forgot that your hotel is still in the loss stage......

Qiao Ye was told by me to the sore spot, but I couldn't refute it, and finally scolded me for being a "grandson" in my grievances, in fact, he himself had been beaten into a grandson by the cruel reality.

I smiled, and then Masashi said to him, "Your cars are provided for free to guests, and I think they should be used to the fullest." You see, can we print the logo of our coffee shop on the body of these cars, so that the residents can ride around in Nanjing, which can be regarded as a mobile advertisement. ”

Qiao Ye looked at me, then slapped the table and said, "Why didn't I think of it!" If I make a brand of the hotel logo and contact information on the body, it is not equivalent to a mobile advertisement, and these cars will definitely be ridden by tourists to the attractions with a large flow of people, with strong pertinence, and the advertising effect must be very good! ”

"Master, is it okay to be a little moral? I'm talking about coffee shops, and you're just stealing my idea from your hotel! ”

"Don't make a fuss, your coffee shop is still making money, my hotel is about to lose money, good ideas must be used in my hotel first."

In fact, of course, Qiao Ye's hotel needs this idea more than me, and I just said it with the purpose of mentioning him, Qiao Ye's biggest shortcoming in business is that he will make the framework very large, but the details are very poor, so that the resources that should be used are wasted by him, and the resources that should not be used are messed up a lot, so he is a full idealistic entrepreneur.

Previously, I turned down the idea of a wedding planner because I was so focused on his job as a wedding planner that I wanted to work with. Now that I have involuntarily thrown myself into the wave of entrepreneurship, should I look for opportunities to find the possibility of cooperation? First, he can use his own experience to help Qiao Ye avoid some unnecessary waste, and secondly, he can also reduce some of his financial pressure, as long as Qiao Ye does not go back to pick up his father's class, Qin Miao will always pay for his idealism.

I finally leaned closer to Qiao Ye's side and said, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to use love as a theme to develop related projects, I now have an idea, you see if we have the possibility of cooperation." ”

Because he had been rejected many times before, when I suddenly talked about cooperation, Qiao Ye's expression was very surprised, and he asked, "What do you think?" ”

At this time, even Chen Yi and Qin Miao, who had been chatting, stopped, and then set their eyes on me......

I sorted out my thoughts and said, "I've taken over Mood Coffee now, and I want to make a small change in my previous business philosophy. I'm going to make a I love you proposal wall in 100 languages in the store, and make the coffee shop a holy place for confession or proposal. Of course, confessions and marriage proposals can't happen every day, but as long as we have it, we will record it with images, and then use the WeChat circle of friends or Weibo between customers to spread out, once a romantic atmosphere is formed, with word of mouth, I believe that our customers are not only tulips on the road, but also include admirers, even tourists from other places! ”

Qiao Ye thought for a while, and was the first to respond: "Yo, I think it's good when I hear it, but how can we cooperate?" ”

"You sell your Suhan Hotel first, and then open a couple-themed inn in the alley. Why do I suggest you sell Suhan Hotel, first of all, the environment around the hotel is too poor and does not match your overall business plan; Besides, how good the environment in the alley is, if we run different projects with the theme of love together, it will be easier to form an atmosphere, and it is not impossible to build that alley into a characteristic old street in the future, right? …… However, selling Suhan Hotel will definitely be at a loss. ”

Qiao Ye replied on a whim: "Then you can lose a few bucks, as long as the brothers do what they like together...... Qin Miao, Chen Yi, do you support us to do this? ”

Chen Yi and Qin Miao glanced at each other, and then looked at Qiao Ye with some tears and laughter, it was not the first time he had been so whimsical. Finally, Qin Miao replied: "You do things on a whim, and interests and hobbies are your main motivations. Jiang Qiao is just the opposite, he has been planning for so many years, he is delicate, cautious, and his goals are very clear, you can really complement each other by doing something together......"

After a pause, she asked Chen Yi again, "Xiaoyi, what do you think?" ”

Chen Yi said with a smile: "Of course I support it, anyway, the risk is borne by your family Qiao Ye, and our family Jiangqiao is following behind to pick up the cheap." ”

"Yes, our family Qiao Ye is stupid and has a lot of money, so it's good if he is happy."

Qiao Ye and the two glared at Qin Miao and Chen Yi respectively, and then said to Qin Miao: "You go back and tell the old man of our family that after I graduated from college, I will follow him as a cow and a horse, and ask him to quickly settle the hardships for so many years to me." ”

"You save it, Dad doesn't care about you is already the greatest tolerance for you, and you still want to ask him for money?"

Qiao Ye rolled his eyes at Qin Miao, and Qin Miao gave him a kick under the table, and then the atmosphere of eating together became more relaxed, as if even the falling autumn leaves on the edge of the Slender West Lake were so unburdened, just waiting for the spring to open next year and continue to live here with a new attitude.

At this moment, I finally have the ** I want to return to Nanjing, and I can't wait to renovate the coffee shop, but I still have to learn how to make pastries here. Because in addition to those eye-catching gimmicks, I want to make the coffee shop very pragmatic, so that every customer can buy their favorite coffee and pastries. After a trip to Yangzhou, I think that only with gimmicks and pragmatism can we truly create a vibrant coffee shop. I think this is the biggest gain I gained from leaving Nanjing.

I thought of Xiao Ai's girl again, and the fact that she was going to study in Germany this winter. This is something I didn't expect, but what can really be expected? It's like I just wanted to open a wonton shop at first, but now I have more and more ideas and more investment, so I myself have been pushed by an invisible hand, and there must be one such hand in her life.

Besides, Qin Miao and Qiao Ye, there is not a hand like this pushing them away! At least now, it seems that they already have a little bit of a husband and wife, and as long as Yu Ya doesn't show up, they will live a stable life after all. As their mutual friend, of course, I also hope that Yu Ya or Su Han will not appear again, but no one can say what the future will look like.

……

In the afternoon, I brought Chen Yi Qiaoye and Qin Miao to Ji Xiaowei's "1999" coffee, I invited them to eat the pastries I made, and we spent a very comfortable afternoon together, but Xiao Ai and Yuan Zhen never came back, I didn't ask Ji Xiaowei too much, but I knew that they must still be together at the moment, as for what kind of afternoon they spent, I can only rely on imagination in my head.

In the evening, after having a meal together, Chen Yi went back to Nanjing with Qiao Ye and Yu Ya, because the day after tomorrow is the wedding of Mr. Xiao and Li Zishan, so she needs to go to the scene tomorrow for a rehearsal, and my nerves are also tense, I hope this wedding can be spent in peace, so it is good for everyone.

Just when I was thinking about the wedding, Xiao Ai finally pushed open the door of the coffee shop and walked in, but there was no Yuan Zhen by her side, and on the table in front of her, only Chen Yi and the leftover pastries they had just eaten were left......
