Jia Yi did not go back to the apartment that night, and after cleaning up the party site, she began to prepare for the trial opening of the next day, from the middle of the night to the present, everything is done by herself: the placement of flowers, the decoration of dried flowers, the placement of price cards, the loading of pastries, and the inventory of raw materials for drinks......

Fortunately, early the next morning, Xiaoya and Yuanyuan came over to help, one to help with the decoration, and the other to help greet the guests.

Yuanyuan fiddled with the flowers in her hand, but her eyes cautiously peeked at Jia Yi's expression - she was really much haggard, which was due to the busy opening, but more probably related to what happened last night.

Last night, she happened to be preparing food with Fang Quan in the kitchen, and only later did she know that Qiao Le and Jia Yi had gone out, and when she was thinking about going to see it, Qiao Le walked out of the door angrily, she tried to stop him, but seeing that Xiao Yin also followed, it was not easy to catch up for a while, thinking about going to the backyard to see Jia Yi, but she learned that Jia Yi was already accompanied by someone.

"Jiayi, that Qiao Le...... Did he contact you again? Yuanyuan's tone revealed a hint of unease.

Jia Yi shook her head, of course she knew about Yuan Yuan suing Qiao Le for borrowing money, but she didn't blame Yuan Yuan, in the final analysis, she did something wrong, and others just stated the facts, not to mention that they had a quarrel like this, how could this one thing be cast.

"I'm sorry, Jiayi, I accidentally told him about you borrowing Gao Qu's money, but I didn't expect ......"

"It's okay, I know, you've helped me so much."

"I don't know if it's enough to help me with this......

"That'...... Just a few more days? Jia Yi smiled at her.

"Huh?" Yuanyuan was surprised that Jia Yi actually joked with herself.

Jia Yi walked out of the bar, put the prepared menu on each table, and said, "Ah, I don't have enough people now, and I don't have the money to hire more people, so I can only call my good friends......

Yuanyuan nodded vigorously, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

A few days after the soft opening, the days quickly came to December, and the last month of the year was like the first month of the year for Jiayi.

As soon as she came to the door of the store, before the door opened, she made a phone call to her home, still using a Beijing number, starting with the old sentence, habitual greetings, she never told her family, she had already gone south, and opened a store for business.

Still cautious, she asked, "Is home okay?" ”

The mother babbled, "It's okay." After a while, he then asked, "Will you go home for the Chinese New Year this year?" ”

Jia Yi kicked some residual snow in front of the store with the tip of her shoe and said, "I don't know, I'm a little busy." ”

"Okay, I can come back anytime if I have time, it's been a few years."

Jia Yi raised her head slightly, looking at the gloomy sky after the first snowfall, how much she wanted to share the news of her store with her family, how much she wanted to get her family's encouragement at this time when she needed support the most.

But this family is so sensitive and fragile, and she needs to protect it with lies.

She lifted the corner of her scarf to wipe the wetness from the corner of her eye, and responded, "Well, okay." Take good care of yourselves and don't quarrel all the time. Just tell me something. ”

"Well, you don't have to worry, take care of yourself outside."

Ending the call with home, she tidied up her feelings a little, took out the key and prepared to open the gate, just when she wanted to lift the iron gate up, she suddenly felt a sense of relaxation in her hand, and her other hand happened to be under the gate.

She glanced at Gao Qu, who came over at some point, and immediately let go of her hand, turned her head, for fear that he would see her reddish eyes, and waited for him to pull the gate up, so she immediately pushed open the door and walked in first.

Gao Qu had already seen her crying, he only appeared after she wiped her tears, but seeing her deliberately avoiding herself, she still couldn't help but be touched, only sighed in the palm of her hand, followed into the store, and deliberately teased: "Why, the current shareholder treatment has become like this?" ”

He sat down on a familiar chair, casually looked at the menu on the table, then tapped his fingers on the table, stared at her who had been busy behind the bar with his back to him, and said, "How about the plan I mentioned last time?" ”

"Didn't you say I had no room for bargaining?"

"So, you agreed?"

"It's not that I agreed, but I didn't want to ignore it." Jia Yi still refused to turn around, and only responded coldly.

"You don't think I have anything to threaten you, do you?"

"Tell me, then, what can I threaten that I have to agree? Oh...... Is it for me to pay back the 50,000 now? She leaned slightly to his side and glanced at him.

Gao Qu sneered a few times, and put his hands crossed in front of his chest, looking like he was winning.

"I don't think Mr. Gao is such a person, right?"

"Then are you going to ask me to tell Xiao Yin about you borrowing money from her, and let Qiao Le know by the way?"

"I'm not a good person in their eyes......

Gao Qu stepped forward, the whole person was close to the bar, only one car away from Jia Yi, he curled the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Their likes and dislikes for you are because of your embarrassing role in their relationship, but they haven't questioned your character yet." ”

"You ......" Jia Yi's eyes widened hurriedly, but he quickly lowered his head, in his eyes, he really had no character at all......

Gao Qu smiled proudly, he has always known everyone's pain points, there has always been no good and evil in the emotional world, some people use this as a criterion to gain or lose with peace of mind, but the quality of people is different, it has a more profound secular significance, and people with high self-esteem cannot tolerate it to be questioned in the slightest.

Jia Yi is this kind of person with high self-esteem.

He watched Jia Yi try to turn his back to escape him again, and suddenly felt a little unbearable, so he said, "I don't want to do this either, so ...... You'd better promise me. ”

"What exactly are you doing this for?"

"No, I just think that if this is the case, I can control you."

She pondered for a while, but felt funny in her heart - what good did she do to him, all he cared about was Xiao Yin, and he had witnessed her and Qiao Le get into such a quarrel that night, and he still had to worry about something.

But--if he only had such a purpose, it didn't seem to be necessarily a bad thing for her, who was short of money, she looked around, the results of the Huafang girl's trial operation were not ideal, and there was still a big gap in funds in the early stage, and Gao Qu's mention was undoubtedly to give her money.

So she raised her head and said, "Yes! However, there is also a threshold for investment, if you really want to participate in dividends, 50,000 is not enough, and Mr. Gao may have to add capital. ”

"Don't forget, this store hasn't officially opened yet, I guess the results of the trial operation are not very good, just looking at your BP can't see any future, ask me to add money, wait for a month to come up with the turnover."

Gao Qu's words were straight to the stake, and she didn't want to argue, after all, he was reasonable, she only looked calm, and pouted: "Whatever, Mr. Gao, don't talk and don't count." ”

"You woman is very strange, some time ago she pretended to be high and refused to accept it, but now she is starting to worry about it, right?"

"You don't dislike my character, why should I dislike your money?"

"First of all, I just know that you care a lot about other people's evaluations, but I don't think there is anything wrong with your character, and I don't support some of your choices and practices at most."

"Didn't you say I don't love myself?" Her eyebrows lowered again, like a gambling child.

"Self-love is your own business, I just remind you that you don't put yourself in it for some unworthy people." He deliberately smiled and said, in fact, his heart was extremely heavy, because he thought about the night she and Mark.

Jia Yi glanced at him arrogantly, did not respond, and went upstairs with his things, and his mood was finally a little lighter.

He had no choice but to go to the kitchen behind the bar and pour himself a drink, and just saw the account book on the bar, so he opened it and pointed and said, "It doesn't matter if you pay tuition during the trial opening, the key is to learn something." ”

"How do you know I haven't learned?"

"The accounts are not clear, what is the use of just looking at the income and expenditure, we must be specific to each commodity item to carefully study its transaction time, transaction object, transaction situation, customer feedback ......"

Jia Yi realized that he was looking at his account book for the past few days, and wanted to go downstairs to stop it, but listening to his analysis of the Tao, he couldn't help but fall into his trance, and his thoughts continued to deepen and deepen with his words......

Suddenly, he said: "Otherwise, even if you wipe your tears every day...... it is useless" immediately brought her back to reality.

"Who said I wiped my tears every day, when did you ......" she was dumbfounded, she was indeed crying just now, and he really saw it, not to mention, it was not the first time he saw her cry.

"Isn't it? That's good, I don't want you to shed tears anyway, because ...... You're crying so ugly. He deliberately mocked.

"It's ugly, you don't want to look at it!" Jia Yi muttered quietly, but he still heard him.

"No way, you're my prey, I can't help but stare at it."

"Why do you need to keep an eye on me, haven't you already trapped me?" Jia Yi finally walked downstairs, as soon as she reached the staircase, Gao Qu handed her a glass of water, she was surprised for a while, Gao Qu walked away freely, and suddenly smiled and said: "How can I have this ability, aren't you with Mark?" ”

The water that Jia Yi had just drunk almost squirted out.

"What do you say...... I'm not with him! ”

"No?"

Shaking her head, she didn't speak, and put the cup back in his hand, going around him to sort out the withered flowers he had just glimpsed.

She didn't respond, and there were always some deep reasons for her to make up her mind to hide the answer.

Seeing her figure pretending to pick up flowers intently, Gao Qu didn't know what to feel in his heart, he put the cup in his hand on the bar, and said to himself: "Actually, no?!"

He was speaking to himself, and he knew that Jia Yi would not care, and even if he did, he would not answer, and she was cutting the flowers that had been damaged by improper placement, and muttered, "It's a pity, such a flower can sell for a lot of money." ”

"No, no, no." The answer in his heart finally landed, "I'm going to go first, remember to spend time here to learn knowledge, come on!" He pointed to the ledger on the table and said with a smile.

Jia Yi also nodded with a smile back, and suddenly said to him again, "Find a woman." ”

This sentence came inexplicably, and Gao Qu was surprised: "Why do you say that? ”

"First, because then you won't be worrying about people all the time; Second...... You have a little bruise on your face, and I'm afraid you'll have to eat some woman's foundation to cover it. Jia Yi laughed unhesitantly.

Gao Qu also smiled, didn't speak, and walked straight out of the store.

She didn't wonder where the bruise came from......
