It seemed to be raining outside the window, and I lost my sleep even more, I kept thinking about the result of that person's conversation with Chen Yi, and I was wondering if his and her information would have a substantial impact on the relationship between Chen Yi and Qiu Zi'an.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, I finally fell asleep in a daze, I dreamed again, I dreamed that Chen Yi and Qiu Zi'an got married without any obstacles, and I also participated in this luxurious wedding, I finally saw Chen Yi wearing a wedding dress, my heart ached to suffocate, and then I fell drunk in my dream.

After Christmas, New Year's Day ushered in, and at the end of the year, 4S stores generally did some strong promotional activities in order to rush sales at the last time, and I was also invited to a test drive.

I finally bought a Peugeot 508, which was the first car in my life, but the process of getting it was so peaceful, I didn't have much brewing, I just paid the money, picked up the car, and then drove the new car home alone, and the 200,000 yuan I got from Jin Qiu, there was only more than 10,000 yuan left, and I had no savings.

Just buying a car, my life has a sense of oppression, and I have to work hard to make money.

In the past week, I submitted my business plan to the organizing committee of the entrepreneurship competition, if I can enter the next round, I will be notified before the Chinese New Year, and after entering the second round, I will give a corresponding speech to the judges according to my plan, and among these judges is the investor Jin Qiu, she hopes that I can get an angel investment from them.

However, my own confidence is not very strong, not because of how big the plan is, but mainly because I have not been able to build a platform for starting a business, which leads to the lack of convincing power of the whole plan, and investors want to see more practical things than concepts.

As for the results of the entrepreneurship competition, I am quite peaceful, and it is almost certain that I will not get investment, but I can gain some experience and see the world, so my goal is to make it to the second round and get a chance to speak.

I parked my new car in a vacant lot outside the alley, and I wanted to have a meal with a few friends, but when I picked up my phone, I realized that those friends had either grown out of their relationship or had left the city of Nanjing. It turns out that there are not many people around me who can share this joy with me, and Zhao Mu has to work overtime for the new project of Jinding Real Estate today, and he will not come back before ten o'clock.

After lighting a cigarette and standing by the car for a while, I finally remembered that when I was in Lijiang, I had told Xiao Ai that I would drive a new car and take her for a ride in Nanjing, and it was time to fulfill this promise.

I took out my mobile phone from my pocket, and then found Xiao Ai's number, this number was made for her when I was in Lijiang, and I only charged 50 yuan for the phone bill at that time, I don't know if she used it up, and the mobile phone with a function that is so simple that she can only call and send messages has she brought it with her.

After a few sounds, Xiao Ai answered the phone, and she asked me, "What are you calling me for?"

"Tonight's New Year's Eve, how did you arrange it?"

"I'm still teaching students, and Brother Viagra will pick me up and go to Yangzhou for New Year's Day."

I didn't expect Ji Xiaowei to take her to Yangzhou, and I couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but think about it, since Yuan Zhen left Japan, only Ji Xiaowei was the only person close to her, so Ji Xiaowei should take her away. Perhaps, she will find some sense of home in Yangzhou, just like I like the old Jin family, we are a little lacking in support.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Xiao Ai asked again: "Do you have something?"

I came back to my senses and hurriedly replied: "No, no, just care about how you plan to spend this Chinese New Year's Eve, in fact, it's good to go to Yangzhou, let Xiao Wei play with you more, I know you've been quite tired recently." ”

"What do you say so much"

The next moment, she hung up the phone without warning, and this suddenness made me lose my mind again, and I stood alone at the mouth of the alley for a while. After a long time, he smiled wryly and put the phone back in his pocket.

I opened the door again, took some tickets out of the car, and headed out into the alley.

I passed by the "Mood Coffee Shop" again, because it was New Year's Eve, the coffee shop was very deserted at the moment, only the store manager was alone, and I couldn't express my gratitude to her, she spent more energy on this coffee shop than anyone else.

I pushed open the door and walked in, and said to the store manager: "There is no business in the coffee shop, so close early today, and you can also go home and spend Chinese New Year's Eve with your family." ”

The store manager looked at me and didn't speak for a long time, I vaguely felt that something was wrong, so I asked with concern: "Why is your face so bad, is it because you are not feeling well?"

"Boss, I'm not uncomfortable." The store manager lowered his head, and after a moment of silence, he whispered: "I want to apply for resignation, this is my resignation letter, I hope the boss can approve it." ”

I was shocked in my heart, and I didn't take the resignation letter from her, and asked: "Why did you suddenly resign, is it because you are not satisfied with the current treatment, are there any difficulties that we can communicate and solve." ”

The store manager shook her head, and she finally choked up and said to me: "Boss, I don't want to resign, because I have been working here since the first month of Sister Yu Ya Suhan's opening of this coffee, and it was Sister Yu Ya who brought me up little by little, I really have a deep affection for this coffee shop However, recently a large chain coffee brand in Nanjing found me, and he hoped that I could go to their side as a store manager, and there would be an opportunity to go abroad for training, which made it difficult for me to refuse"

I looked at her and waited for her to continue

The store manager avoided my gaze, and her expression became even more apologetic: "Boss, I know that your focus in the future is not on the coffee shop, you have always wanted to do a business related to weddings, so the scale of the mood coffee shop will not expand in the future, and I am 26 years old, it is time to re-plan my future path, so I hope you can understand, I want to choose a more professional platform." ”

I felt anxious in my heart, because this store manager was personally trained by Su Han, and she was doing the management of the store and even the work of the barista, and when she left, the daily operation of the store would definitely be greatly affected, but I couldn't delay people to choose a better platform, not to mention that I have no plans to expand the coffee shop now, even if I did, there would be no climate in the short term, why should people give up a bigger and better platform for you

It was the first time since I took over Mood Coffee that I felt so tricky, I felt that I was lacking in management skills, I didn't give my employees enough security, and I didn't give them a long-term employment contract, so I finally took my resignation from the store manager and asked, "When are you going to report there?"

"The other party asked that within a week, I will stand on the last shift, I hope the boss doesn't blame me."

I patted her on the shoulder, then shook my head with a smile, signaling that I wouldn't blame her, I gave her the more than 10,000 yuan left over from the car, and said to her: "This is your salary this month, I thank Yu Ya for your contribution to the coffee shop for so many years, I hope you can make greater achievements when you reach the new platform, I am very optimistic about you." ”

The store manager took the bank card from my hand, she nodded tearfully, and then looked around the coffee shop, in order not to give her too much psychological burden, I asked her to mix a cup of "mood coffee" for me, and then asked her to go back to rest first, and I was the only one left in the huge coffee shop, and there was a cup of steaming coffee.

I sighed and lit a cigarette, feeling a sense of crisis in my heart. When I encountered an employee crisis for the first time, I had no idea how to deal with it, because it was the end of the year, and it was relatively difficult to recruit a new store manager, and there was a question mark over whether the new store manager would be able to play the role of the old store manager after he arrived. On top of that, I had to hire a barista, and I was even more unsure about how long it would take for them to get along with the shop.

I finally tasted the pain of being a boss, so after a cigarette went out, I lit another cigarette, but there was nothing I could do about it.

As the night approached, the ban on fireworks in the main city was not restricted on Tulip Road, so the old neighbors who had the habit of setting off firecrackers gathered in the open area to light the fireworks during the New Year's holidays.

Over the years, what I am most afraid of is the New Year's holidays, those firecrackers tear the air, my nerves, and the longing for family

I looked out the window, subconsciously squirming my Adam's apple to relieve the pain in my heart, until Aunt Li's little grandson edamame appeared in my sight, I finally got up from the chair and came outside the coffee shop.

I stood in front of Edamame and teased him and asked, "Edamame, who bought you the candy in your hand?"

"My grandmother bought it."

"Give Uncle a piece to taste, okay?"

Edamame pouted and yelled at me, "Don't give it, don't give any of it." ”

"Did I give you chocolate to eat the day before yesterday, be kind?"

"If you don't give, you don't give, you don't give"

"Edamame, if we don't do this, Uncle will do a magic trick for you, you give me a piece of candy, Uncle can make two pieces of candy for you, believe it or not"

"You're lying."

"Then you give Uncle a piece, and Uncle will show you."

Edamame gave me a piece of candy in his hand suspiciously, I took it from his hand, then tore open the outer package, broke a piece of toffee into two, and said, "See, isn't this two pieces of candy?" and quickly threw the candy cube into his mouth.

Edamame was anxious to fight with me, but I smiled happily

"Stinky and shameless"

Suddenly a voice scolding me came from behind me, I subconsciously turned around, it turned out to be Xiao Ai who said that she was going to Yangzhou New Year's Eve with Ji Xiaowei, she looked at all my ugly behavior just now, and then rewarded me with a sentence of "stinky and shameless" before the New Year
