In the face of my questioning, Chen Yi responded with silence, in fact, we all have the answer, but we are stubbornly unwilling to face it, unless there is no love between us that is filtered, otherwise the pain will always be tormented by our side.

I sat down next to Chen Yi, then opened the box of cakes that were originally going to be given to Lao Jin, and I said to her, "Eat some, you eat the fruit above, and I will eat the cake below." ”

Chen Yi looked at me, his eyes showed a trace of powerless exhaustion, I am not tired, but I still hope that this night will not be so sad.

The next moment, I picked out the fruit on the cake, and then put it on a small plate and handed it to Chen Yi, and I also cut a piece of cake to eat, I like this taste, because it is sweet, Chen Yi's fruit must also be sweet!

I finally said to her: "I know about the coffee shop, and it is very difficult for you to be caught between me and Qin Miao, but you don't have to use more than 20 years of feelings to plead with me, you know?" This feeling is too heavy in my heart, so it must not be used for this matter! ”

After Chen Yi was silent for a while, he finally replied: "Actually, I can understand what you think in your heart, and I also know how much you have paid for the coffee shop during this time...... I'll go and persuade Qin Miao again, even if you can't be friends in the future, at least don't be enemies! ”

I nodded, then smiled and said to her, "Eat the fruit, I hope you are as sweet as this fruit." ”

Chen Yi finally responded to me with a smile: "You also eat cake, I hope you are the same as this cake, although it doesn't look as gorgeous as fruit, but it will also give people hope for food and clothing." ”

I looked at Chen Yi, and finally mustered up the courage to touch her braids like when I was a child, and then raised my head to look at the moon in the sky, watching it gently sprinkle the moonlight into every corner of this old alley, and watching the flowers and trees in spring sprout and grow silently......

……

The next morning, I went to the coffee shop. I now have a clear division of labor with Feng Tang, he is responsible for making coffee, and I am assisting in making some pastries.

After this division of labor, the coffee shop is also more professional than before, and can basically meet the basic daily needs of customers.

In addition, our coffee culture is relatively low-key at this stage, but it is slowly spreading by word of mouth, and the reason why it is low-key is because we are also crossing the river by feeling the stones, and we are not willing to exaggerate that we are the coffee shop that represents the most coffee culture in Nanjing, but even so, we will still sell a coffee card worth 6,000 yuan from time to time.

After mixing coffee for a customer who was having breakfast in a coffee shop, Feng Tang also chatted with me, and he said to me in a good mood: "Jiangqiao, the recent development momentum of the coffee shop is very good, which really gives me a lot of confidence to do a good job in coffee culture!" …… I think that after this summer, let's put out the signs of coffee culture in one go...... At that time, our faith was much more abundant! ”

"Well, you must know better than me about coffee culture, so it's up to you to control this progress."

Feng Tang nodded, and then motioned for me to go out for a cigarette, which proved that he was in a good mood, because he was not like me, I would especially crave cigarettes when I was depressed, but he was the opposite of most people. Come to think of it, this is also a kind of maverick personality of him as a barista.

He took a puff of his cigarette and asked me, "Do you have any long-term plans for our coffee shop?" ”

I nodded and replied, "Well, I've been thinking about this recently, if the mood coffee shop can really play the sign of coffee culture in Nanjing, then our store pù will be replicable, and we can bring our own business philosophy and characteristics to other cities...... Perhaps, we can be the Starbucks of China! ”

"Haha, you really dare to think about it, but I like your attitude, as long as you are confident and thoughtful about what you are doing now, I have the courage to accompany you to do it."

"No problem, the new power of the coffee industry must have emerged from this alley."

……

I stayed in the coffee shop all day making pastries, and today's business is not bad, in addition to the regular members, there are also some former individual customers who have returned to the store to consume, so before the peak consumption period in the evening, we have done more than 1,000 yuan of business.

Yu Xin arrived at the coffee shop on time at half past six, but recently her communication with me has become a little less, and she will leave the coffee shop after basically finishing her working hours.

When the time came to 7 o'clock, the coffee shop ushered in the peak period of consumption, looking at the basically full seats, my heart was full of a sense of steadfastness, I felt that my efforts in the past few months had not been in vain, if it were not for Qin Miao to take this coffee shop as a thorn in the eye, I believe that Chen Yi would also be happy for this progress in my life.

For her, as long as I Jiangqiao can do a little bit of business in this society, whether it is opening a coffee shop or doing the wedding industry that I can control the most, it is the same.

I planned that after this period of time, I would buy another car and continue the dream of myself and Zhao Chu......

At eight o'clock, two more customers who had never spent money in the store came to visit, Feng Tang took them to visit the coffee shop, and made a series of introductions, and finally they each got a membership card, and we gained 12,000 yuan of working capital.

I can't help but admire Jiang Weiyi, because the pricing seems very simple, but in fact it requires very rich market experience to support, and the price of 6,000 yuan is set just right, which not only relieves the financial pressure of the store, but also psychologically induces customers to recognize the grade of our coffee shop.

Of course, the most important thing is that Feng Tang, a barista, really has professional skills above the industry level, so he can really make customers feel a sense of identity psychologically.

……

Recently, Jiang Weiyi's company has been busy, and he usually comes late, and today he arrived at nine o'clock.

He asked for a cup of coffee, and then motioned for me to talk to him for a while, and after he had a general understanding of the operation of the coffee shop, he said to me: "Brother Jiangqiao, a fixed deposit I have in the bank has matured recently, and now the interest rate is so low, so I want to take it out and make some investment...... You know, I'm also a lover of coffee culture, and I think it's fate that brothers can come together because of a common hobby, and it's even more rare to do something together, so I'm interested in investing in this store, I don't know what you think? ”

I was a little stunned, because not long ago, Chen Yi had predicted that Jiang Weiyi would ask to invest in this coffee shop.

Seeing that I didn't reply, Jiang Weiyi said with a sincere expression: "Brother, if you feel embarrassed, you can say it boldly, it's okay." ”

I really couldn't refuse Jiang Weiyi, and after a little silence, I replied: "Brother Jiang, of course I welcome you to invest in this coffee shop." Belch...... So, if the momentum continues, we will soon be preparing a second coffee shop. When the time comes, we will operate as a company, will it be better for you to take a stake at that time? ”

"There is no problem with this, and I am also in favor of operating in the form of a company, because more standardized can stimulate development efficiency." Speaking of this, Jiang Weiyi said in a joking tone: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will forget about me, the investment intent!" ”

"No, I promise you as a personality that as long as you are still interested in investing at that time, I will definitely welcome you with both hands."

Jiang Wei stretched out his hand to me, and I also held his hand, even if we made a verbal commitment to the coffee shop's shareholding, I don't want to think about human nature too complicated, and the development of the coffee shop is inseparable from capital, as long as I carefully control and make reasonable use of capital, there should be no problem.

……

At ten o'clock, Yu Xin finished today's work, she still didn't say anything, and was ready to leave after tidying up her musical instruments. I called out to her.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

I handed her a glass of freshly brewed milk and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just want to settle last week's performance fee for you." Last week you played four shows for a total of 1,200 yuan. Gurg...... You point a little. ”

Yu Xin took the money from me, put it in her wallet without ordering it, didn't drink the milk, turned around and prepared to leave.

I grabbed her quickly and asked, "Have you been in love with me lately?" …… I don't care much about you, depressed! ”

Yu Xin looked at me and replied coldly: "No woman likes a man who is in the morning and evening!" ”

I was a little confused, and after a while, I asked again, "I didn't let you like me, did I?" ”

"Cut, don't worry, you're definitely not the man I like...... Hehe, didn't you break up with Chen Yi, why are you still dating in the middle of the night? ”

I suddenly remembered that when Chen Yi and I met at the "Wutong Hotel" that night, Yu Xin's abnormal appearance. Of course, I don't pretend to think that she likes me, so the only possibility is that she is fighting for Xiao Ai.

I'm kind of funny! First of all, Chen Yi was scheduled to go on a date after ten o'clock because there was a show to be recorded that day; In addition, we are also talking about some topics that have nothing to do with relationships; What's more, Xiao Ai has left Taipei and will not return to Nanjing in the future, what is the point of this kind of unevenness, and even we have not made it very clear that we want to be together.

Yu Xin was a little angry: "Are you still laughing?" ”

"You misunderstood, we made an appointment so late that day because Chen Yi had a show! Actually, that day, I just wanted to borrow a little money from her to keep the coffee shop running......" I paused at this point, then shrugged my shoulders and said with a wry smile: "However, I couldn't open my mouth in the end......"

Yu Xin looked at me suspiciously......

"There's nothing to doubt about it, that's exactly what it is."

"Well, trust you for now...... By the way, congratulations on bringing the coffee shop back to life, I'm very happy for you! ”

"You're too late for this blessing, aren't you?"

"It's not too late at all...... I have to go back, and I'm going to Beijing tomorrow to perform. ”

"Well, pay attention to safety on the road, and pay attention to your body, don't be too tired!"

Yu Xin nodded and left, and I looked at her back and smiled, she was so angry!

……

The coffee shop closed and I walked down the alley, ready to go to Tulip Road to buy a pack of cigarettes. Recently, I have become a bit addicted to smoking, especially when I am alone at night, and I always have to smoke a few cigarettes to restrain the loneliness and loneliness in my heart.

I'm also 26 years old, but I haven't shared a bed with a woman so far, so sometimes I envy Qiao Ye!

Thinking of Qiao Ye, I was a little annoyed, this brute, in order to be happy for himself, made Qin Miao hate me so much, I am even more wronged than Dou E!

If he dares to go back to Nanjing and stand in front of me, if I don't get him a brick, I won't call Jiangqiao.

I lit a cigarette and squinted and inhaled, and in the process I saw the Wrangler galloping from a distance, and she seemed to have just gotten off work and was just passing by.

Sure enough, she didn't notice me and drove straight past me. Then I remembered to ask her what she did after I left Lao Jin's birthday party yesterday.

I immediately called her, and she answered, asking, "Why are you calling me?" ”

"Just be concerned, how did you cope last night...... Also, your dad isn't angry, is he? ”

"He is such a good-faced person, how can he not be angry...... Don't come to my house lately. ”

"Your dad is a man with a lot of temperament...... However, I really underestimated him before, he looks like a straw bag, but he is really scheming when he starts to do things, and he doesn't leave a way out, and the banquet of 100 tables yesterday is a trap he deliberately put on the two of us, right? ……”

Jin Qiu was not interested in listening to me on the phone, so she turned to me and said, "Let's not talk about this yet." If you don't call me, I'll call you later when I get home...... I'm going to talk to you about outsourcing the wedding execution. If you are afraid of losing money, we can change the distribution model, anyway, I promise you that you can make a considerable amount of money as the downstream of our company, what do you think? ”

I confidently refused: "Jin Qiu, don't mention cooperation with me in the future, my coffee shop is now gradually on the track, in terms of industry prospects, it will not be worse than doing a wedding, and this is my own career, it is much more motivated than relying on others to do things......"

After Jin Qiu was silent, she sighed, and she replied in a low voice: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and I don't want to force you anymore, if you figure it out one day, come to the company to find me by yourself." However, I can't guarantee that this business will be kept by that time, waiting for you to do it! ”

"There won't be a ...... of the day"

Before I finished speaking, Jin Qiu hung up the phone, and I was a little disgusted that she always poured cold water on me, I Jiangqiao made money with hard work and blood and sweat, why should I compromise?

……

The next day, I slept a little because I had slept late the day before, and at about nine o'clock I was awakened by a sharp knock at the door.

Opening the courtyard door, the newly recruited waiter, while swallowing his saliva, said to me like the end of the world: "Boss, something is wrong...... Something big happened, and the coffee shop was seized by the fire law enforcement brigade, saying that we were operating illegally! …… Feng Tang can't handle it alone, you can go and take a look!! ”
