Chapter 13: The Warm Current Through the Screen

With Xiaofang's drawings, she made an appointment to meet with several decoration design studios in the city, but the result was quite helpless, and after several negotiations, there was no ideal harvest: either the price was a problem, or the design style did not meet her expectations at all.

For several days, she dragged her tired body back to her apartment.

Aunt Li brought her a bowl of bone broth distressedly, and the neighbors also gathered to listen to her complain about the hardships of opening a store, but no one doubted that she would give up.

"Sister, I think you will succeed." It was Xiaoya who said this, and she was playing with the puppy in the corner.

During this time, she had no performances to attend, so she always wore long hair and wore wide and comfortable kitty cat pajamas downstairs in the apartment, and after a few serious glances, she realized that she could also be completely innocent girl.

Looking at this energetic girl, Jia Yi couldn't help but feel better, and said, "Okay! I'm going to open a shop, and you're going to come over and help. ”

"Really? Are you going to hire me? ”

"Of course, if you can come, I can still take care of you."

Xiaoya stood up excitedly, jumped on the chair next to the table like a cat, looked at Jia Yi with wide eyes and said, "Don't break your word, otherwise ......" The two black jade in her eyes swam around flexibly and moistly, and continued: "Otherwise, I will destroy your shop." ”

Everyone burst out laughing. Jia Yi also took the opportunity to relax herself in the laughter.

Guo Rui interjected: "How is your decoration design?" ”

His words instantly threw Jia Yi back into the misery of the day, and Jia Yi immediately cried and said, "I'm also distressed." Talking about a few is not ideal. ”

"I have a good recommendation." He seemed to be prepared to pull out a business card from his business card case.

Shangyi Culture Advertising Company Markzhang

Jia Yi looked surprised, and this surprise just made Guo Rui very satisfied, he said: "This is a friend of mine who does advertising design, and he is quite famous in the 4A circle of N City. Although he is not an expert in decoration design, but he is more literary and artistic, recently he is doing a photographic record of a petty bourgeois literary and art store, for your kind of shop, he has a lot of contact, but has never participated in the design from scratch, I think he has a lot of ideas that should be helpful to you. ”

Jia Yi nodded, although she thought that she should not invite such a promising character, but she still accepted it with expectations, after all, a business card is also an opportunity.

Although the store has not yet begun to be renovated, Jiayi still insists on rushing to the store to clean up before the rush hour. Just as she opened the door, a girl in a dark silk dress came out of the coffee shop next door, with a playful ponytail tied on the left side, and a slightly upturned tail just falling on her shoulder, and the first thing she said when she came out was, "Do you want to have a cup of coffee?" The voice had a high degree of sweetness to hers, and of course Ka Yi couldn't refuse, even though she had already had a Starbucks drink on the way here.

Lacquered wooden tables and chairs are casually placed in a corner, along the bar along the edge of the floor-to-ceiling windows to the outside boardwalk, and the walls of the store are covered with various southern European paintings, which are bright and contrasting with the dark walls, but also hint at the interesting name of the restaurant, "Sunshine Coffee of Tomorrow".

"It's a nice design!" Jia Yi sighed heartily.

The girl leaned out from behind the bar and shouted, "What? The kitchen machine was noisy, and she obviously couldn't hear what Jia Yi had just said.

Only then did Jia Yi notice that the bar and kitchen where she worked were clean, or closer to "new", Jia Yi couldn't help but ask, "You guys have not been open for a long time, right?" ”

The girl raised her head from the noisy sound of the machine and replied calmly: "Yes, it was only done a month ago, and now it is open for trial operation." By the way, I haven't asked your name yet? As she spoke, she had skilfully drained out the coffee residue.

Jia Yi realized that she hadn't introduced herself yet, and hurriedly said: "My name is Liang Jia Yi, just call me Jia Yi!" ”

The girl handed a steaming cup of coffee to Jia Yi and said, "Mingjing." She looked happy and seemed confident in her craft.

Jia Yi took a sip and put it aside, she was more curious about the decoration of this shop than coffee, thinking of asking for some experience from Ming Jing, but Ming Jing raised her hand and said, "I really don't know about this matter, it's all my brother's decision." ”

The brother that Ming Jing said is the real owner of this store, before opening the store, he was a programmer, and then he stopped staying in the Internet industry, so he opened the store with his savings. Hearing this, Jia Yi still felt that this programmer was quite stylish, but who knew that Mingjing later smiled awkwardly and said that her brother was now busy looking for a daughter-in-law in the blind date market. Jia Yi really couldn't figure out his brother's attributes for a while.

Maybe he'll be as cute as his sister.

Jia Yi had no choice but to smile and say, "I'm also decorating, and I want to exchange experiences." ”

"My brother isn't here, he's glad he's scared. However, in my opinion, the decoration is the most complicated, the more simple and casual, the more individual. ”

Jia Yi also nodded, but the four words "simple and casual" alone already contained a lot of unity of mind and nature, and suddenly fit in with each other.

At this moment, Yuanyuan called, she picked it up, and before she could speak, she heard Yuanyuan complaining bitterly: "Liang Jiayi, I can't stand it anymore, Qiao Le calls me all day long to ask me about your situation, how should I deal with it?" ”

Jia Yi glanced at Ming Jing, smiled awkwardly, signaled to go out, and left the store before she had time to take the coffee on the table. ”

"But...... Why should I be a microphone, the key ...... He doesn't want to know how your store is going, but he is thinking about how to help you. ”

"Then you sue him, I'll just let him rest assured. What's so hard about that? ”

"Did you quarrel?"

"Nope! If you can't handle it, just ask him to call me. ”

"What you said, don't twist and pinch when the time comes, and you don't want to deal with people."

"Where don't you want to deal with it?"

"Humph! Don't think I don't know anything, you must have made a fuss, you are in such a hurry to move out of him, you don't want to borrow money from him, he will know you through me, not to mention that I guessed, it must be ......"

Jia Yi hurriedly interrupted her, she didn't want to hear Yuanyuan mention so many small things that bothered her at this most headache time, but pointed to the key matters of her relationship with Qiao Le, so she only said: "Okay, okay, it's okay, I'm still busy here." ”

After hanging up Yuanyuan's phone, she returned to Mingjing's shop to pay for the coffee, but she refused with a smile: "Be a neighbor, come to Japan, please you!" ”

Jia Yi had no choice but to lead the cup of coffee back to her shop, all around it was empty, only the bare walls and a wooden ladder that led diagonally to the second floor of the store.

"Why is it still like this?" A familiar girl's voice came from outside the door, and as soon as she entered the door and saw the golden hair, Jia Yi recognized that it was Xiaoya.

Seeing that Jia Yi was still struggling with the decoration design, the elf and ghostly little girl encouraged her: "Post on the Internet!" You can always ask for someone who is destined! ”

Jia Yi smiled and said, "What do you think about marriage?!" ”

"Seeing that you are so strict with designers, isn't it a marriage proposal? To understand your thoughts, but also to have an artistic atmosphere, the most important thing is to be able to make money, love is nothing more than that! The little girl said eloquently.

Jia Yi thought about it, but it was no different.

Xiaoya continued: "Alas, didn't Brother Guo recommend someone to you last time? Why not try it? ”

Jia Yi shook his head, looked confused, and said, "I'm really not sure, and besides, I don't think he is necessarily suitable for ......."

Xiaoya went up the second floor along the wooden ladder alone, and kept persuading: "How can you know if you don't try." ”

Jia Yi frowned and asked herself in a low voice, "Try it?" She took out the business card from her bag again, looked at Mark's name, looked at the long title, she was so nervous for the first time, she was hesitant and scared in her heart, for fear that the other party would be too difficult to do or make fun of herself directly, so after a few minutes, she still didn't dare to make a move, and the little girl who had already gone downstairs to stand aside couldn't stand it, so she grabbed her mobile phone and the business card, and immediately dialed the phone, and after a few rings, the phone was connected.

The voice of the man who answered the phone was very good, as if a warm current passed through the screen, which immediately made Jia Yi's ears hot and red.

She still couldn't stop being nervous and said, "Hey, is it Mr. Zhang?" ”

"Yes, may I ask who you are?"

Jia Yi's heart and hands were trembling violently, her palms were still sweating, and her ears against her mobile phone felt the screen sweating, and said, "I...... I am a friend of Guo Rui, and he recommended me to come to you. She spoke slowly, trying to make her nervousness less light.

Mark paused for a moment, as if searching for the name in his mind, before he said, "Oh, I know Guo Rui, I don't know what you call it?" ”

"My name is ...... It's called Jiayi, Liang Jiayi! She still couldn't control it, her voice trembled to the point that she almost shook the air around her by a few degrees Celsius, and Xiaoya rubbed her two smooth arms vigorously beside her, constantly teasing Jia Yi, who was so nervous that she couldn't speak.

"Is there anything I can do to help you?" In addition to being sultry and tempting, the magic of Mark's voice can gradually soothe people's feelings, and it is precisely this affinity that makes Jia Yi talk to people so fluently about his store opening plan for the first time, and put forward a request for guidance from Mark in decoration design, and he agreed without much hesitation, "In Nanbin, right, then at this point tomorrow, I'll drive over and see you then!" ”

Jia Yi, who put down the phone, still couldn't slow down, his voice, his response, made her feel unbelievable, but it made her heart that had been hanging for several days suddenly settle down. She was surprised, although she hadn't talked deeply, but she was extremely sure that he would be able to understand her thoughts, or rather, Jia Yi was sure that she would be able to talk about the dream she had with Yu Ran in front of this strange man.
