After Le Yao left, I walked to the inn alone, looking left and right all the way, and every time one or two tourists walked by me, I felt that I was still living in the real world.

When I walked to the door of a newly opened convenience store, I stopped because two electric wooden horses for children were being installed in front of the store.

So, I remembered her unique smile with indifference in seeing things and thinking about people, and I was once deeply trapped in her smile and couldn't extricate myself, but all the things I experienced in the past, and now I have completely brought it over with a sentence of time and time.

I didn't miss anything, and I picked up my steps and continued walking towards my inn.

……

In the inn, the boy was sitting in front of the service desk, receiving customers instead of me, and when he saw me coming back, he stared at me for a long time and asked, "Brother Yang, what's wrong with your face?" ”

"I accidentally bumped into ...... Are there any tourists staying today? ”

The boy shook his head in despair and said, "No...... Since we took over the inn, there have been no new guests. ”

I just nodded, without saying much, but thinking in my brain: what kind of soul to shape while exchanging flesh and blood for this inn, the so-called soul is like the "four seasons change" in the fifth season bar, and the "waiting for you" in the bar where I am waiting for you in Xitang, the soul that has been shaped will eventually become the core selling point of the business, guide customers to consume here, and have a sense of belonging.

"Brother Yang, what are you thinking with your brows furrowed?"

I asked rhetorically, "You are now one of the shareholders of this inn, tell me, do you have any good ideas for running this inn?" ”

The boy replied without hesitation, and said, "The price is reduced, as long as we are cheaper by other inns, the guests will naturally come!" ”

I shook my head and said: "The price reduction is just a promotional means, not as a long-term business strategy, and our inn is rented other people's houses, there are many inns in Xitang that are built by local residents, compared to them, we can't afford to play a price war, you know?" ”

"So what do you say?"

"Step by step, step by step, start with the renovation of the inn."

"Okay, I don't know much about business matters, just listen to your arrangement."

"Well, I'll give you a task, in two days, you open a store on Taobao, and when our inn is renovated, you can directly accept accommodation orders on Taobao, so that we will increase a sales channel."

"Brother Yang, you are so powerful, why didn't I think of it?"

"Awesome fart, now 80% of the inns in Xitang have stores on Taobao, we are far behind others, and now we have to make efforts to catch up with other inns in the basic channels, you know?"

The boy nodded repeatedly.

I said to him again: "The inn will be handed over to you today, I will go to the decoration company at this time and try my best to get the decoration plan." ”

"You can go with confidence, I will take care of the inn."

I nodded and prepared to leave.

"Brother Yang, wait."

"Anything else?"

“…… Will Sister Le come to eat with us today? ”

"No, she's back in Beijing."

The boy drooped his head, and the whole person was like a deflated ball.

I smiled and asked, "Why do you look half-dead?" ”

"I'm sorry for her departure."

"What a pity, you don't even dare to say a few words to her."

"She's a big star, and she's a goddess in my mind, isn't it normal that I don't dare to talk to her?"

I didn't have the heart to continue to talk to him, and after telling him to take care of the inn again, I picked up the car keys and walked to the van parked in front of the door.

……

Just like the "Fifth Season" bar at that time, I was busy with various decoration companies all day, not only asking for quotations, but also exchanging some decoration ideas with them.

In the busy, the time has quietly reached dusk, and Xitang under the sunset ushered in the most poetic moment of the day, but I dragged my tired body back to the inn.

Still staring intently at the computer, I sat down on the wicker chair across from me and asked him, "Are you here this afternoon?" ”

"Nope." The boy said as he clicked the mouse frantically.

"What are you doing?"

"It's a game."

"I asked you to do the Taobao shop pù, are you ready?"

"No, there are no guests now anyway, and I'll get it after the decoration is completed!"

I frowned, very disgusted by the child's lazy appearance, but still patient, and said, "Don't play the game yet, I have something to say to you." ”

"Wait, wait......"

I lit a cigarette and waited.

After smoking a cigarette, I smoked another cigarette, and the boy still didn't mean to stop, and after a tired day, he finally came to the fire, came to him and slapped him on the hand holding the mouse, and said, "Why are you so careless?" What's so fun about this bird game! ”

The boy was frightened by my sudden attack, looked at me with his mouth open, and said to me for a while, "What are you doing?" ”

"I'll let you serve a snack, stop playing games, do you hear me?"

"You don't have to be so serious about opening an inn, right? …… Besides, I've been looking at the store for a day, why don't I care? ”

I couldn't communicate with the boy, and my mood became irritable, but I kept myself from getting angry.

Seeing that I was silent, the boy suddenly lost his temper, kicked away the office chair next to him as if venting, and said to me, "I'm going to eat." He left the inn without looking back.

……

I sat alone in the empty inn until the sunset faded, until there was no light in the room, and then suddenly I turned on the lighting lamp, and then lit a cigarette for myself with some depression.

I realized that I had made a big fuss about the boy, after all, at his age, I had no sense of distress than him, and I was in a state of confusion all day long.

In fact, prospective graduates who are on the verge of graduating from college have such an appearance, and I should not ask too much of him, but should inspire him step by step.

Looking at the time, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening, and the boy had not yet returned, I couldn't help but be worried, and wanted to go out to find him, but the inn could not be left unattended.

Up to this point, the inn had not waited for our first guest after we took over, and after weighing it up, I decided to go out and find the boy first.

It was a little cold in Xitang at night, so I put on a thick coat, picked up the lighter and cigarette case on the table and walked outside.

In the hurried footsteps, I made eye contact with her for a moment, I stopped, and she looked back at me.

"Why did you come to Xitang?"

Jian Wei was even more surprised than me, and said after a while: "Today is the weekend, come to Xitang to relax...... I didn't expect you to be in Xitang after being missing for so many days! ”

I was speechless for a long time, thinking: Could it be that in Janeway's heart, she is still thinking about Xitang, the place where we once slept with each other?

Janeway didn't speak again, just looked at the guitar with no strings hanging under the inn's sign.

I finally said to her, "You haven't found a place to stay yet, this is my inn." ”

"Your inn?"

"Yes, I only took over yesterday."

"This inn is so remote, and now it's the off-season for tourism, will I be the first guest after you take over?"

"Sort of...... By the way, you go in first and help me take care of the inn, I'll go out to do some errands, and I'll be back soon. ”

Janeway nodded, and I immediately led her into the inn.
