On the evening of September 5th, in the third year, Bei Bei fell asleep, and Zhang Wenhao went out to surf the Internet and did not come back. Li Guo was smoking a cigarette on the terrace alone, and Akemi approached.

"Why don't you sleep? Worried about opening tomorrow? Akemi's concern hit like a heat wave, melting the strength of Lee Kook's disguise.

"I'm thinking about what happened when I was a child...... Li Guo silently told his life experience.

Akemi seems to have gone back to the past, as Li Guo has said many times before. Those stories, word by word, are all in Akemi's memory, and it is clearly visible that Li Guo has never seen his parents, and has lived with relatives since he can remember, and often hears relatives quarrel because of him. No one was willing to take Li Guo in and wanted to send him to an orphanage, but they were reluctant and blamed each other. In this way, there are two ends for three days, and the various relatives live alternately.

Li Guo finished talking about his life experience, took a puff of cigarette, and looked down at the dark community garden downstairs.

"Don't be sad, you will get better and better in the future, just like the stars in the sky, everyone has to look up to you. Do you know why I recognized you as the owner of a bookstore? Akemi asked.

"I don't know, I'm an orphan, I have no money, no education, and no experience in opening a store, why did you choose me?" Li Guo raised his head and looked at Akemi.

"At first, it was because I needed someone to look at the store for me, and then I thought of those four photos, and I promised to wait for you. Later, I went to the courier company and saw your former colleagues, and everyone was upset for you. I see in the description of your colleague that your personality is charismatic, and the adversity of your childhood has given you strength that others do not have. I can't find the right person other than you, and even if I don't show up for ten years after graduation, I won't worry about anything. Akemi came up with the most reasonable explanation, hoping that this would make Lee Kook more confident.

"Thank you, I am very touched, few people praise me. But I'm worried that if you invest so much, if I don't run well, it won't be a failure to live up to your good intentions. Li Guo buried his head again, like a child that no one wanted.

"I have confidence in you, in red bean porridge, and in your cash card, you are a talent, and the red bean porridge that you cook cannot be concocted by others, and your business philosophy is also great. The time and place are favorable, we have all accounted for it, are you still afraid that it will not succeed? Akemi looked up at the starry sky.

Li Guo looked in the direction of Akemi's line of sight, the stars in the sky, doing his best, the speckled light blended together, bringing hope to Li Guo.

"Happy birthday to you, it's twelve o'clock." Akemi took out a small cake, only the size of a palm, but Akemi made it herself, and when the cake shop owner moved away, he left behind some tools for making cakes, as well as a crash course. Akemi practiced secretly and finally made a satisfactory one.

Li Guo smiled without saying a word, lit a candle and made a wish, blew out the flame, and on their first birthday after being reborn, they owned a bookstore.

At 9:58 on September 6, the auspicious time had arrived, Li Guo lit the long whip, everyone covered their ears, and in just two or three seconds, a red firecracker crackled and exploded.

Three months ago, Li Guo was still a courier, and now he has his own bookstore after several twists and turns, Li Guo is a little emotional, if his parents have spirits in the sky, they will be happy for Li Guo when they see today's scene.

Akemi stood in the store and didn't go out, her position was here, the infinite scenery, and the good life was left to Li Guo alone. Watching the people you like happy is the greatest happiness.

Zhang Wenhao has been on the phone, constantly contacting the students in the department, inviting everyone to come and cheer.

Half an hour passed, and there were no half customers, and the three of them sat in the store in a daze. Akemi stood up suddenly: "I sent Bei Bei to kindergarten, I don't know how Bei Bei is doing at this time, I'll go and see, I'll be back later." Akemi felt embarrassed and wanted to go out for a walk.

At this time, a girl with glasses walked in with a schoolbag on her back, holding a cash card in her hand, and asked: "Is it true that this card says that your opening reward, red bean porridge and books are discounted by 20%, and there is also a cash reduction of 5 yuan?" ”

Zhang Wenhao hurriedly trotted forward and said, "Really, really, you are so lucky, you are the first customer in our store, please come in." Sit here and see how nice the street view is. What do you order, drink porridge, or read a book? ”

"I'll try the red bean porridge, and the books on this list, please help me find them, I'm going to buy these books." Thank you. ”

The first business came to the door, and Akemi forgot to say that she was going to see Beibei, so she hurriedly helped find a book, discounted, reduced 5 yuan in cash, four books, and a bowl of porridge, and collected a total of 60 yuan.

"Your porridge is delicious, what time do you start selling it every day?"

"It starts selling at six o'clock until seven o'clock in the evening when the last pot is sold out, and after seven o'clock there is no new porridge. Lest it be wasted if it can't be sold. Li Guo explained to the guests.

"Can I take it out? I'd like to take two back to the dorm room for everyone to try. ”

"Yes, you can take it out, you can wait a minute, I'll pack you two." Li Guo immediately agreed.

After the first guest walked through the door, a group of freshly finished students poured in, each with a cash card. Business was busy all of a sudden, and the store was full of people with red bean porridge.

Many people come to the bookstore with cash cards to make purchases, and the bookstore is a great success. The red bean porridge in the store is also popular on campus, and there are long queues every day. Books are also selling very well, and there is a constant stream of people coming to the store to see them, and the seats are even more difficult to occupy than those in the library, and people come every morning as soon as they open.

After opening for a week, the three of them were too busy to separate, so Akemi asked the third child to come to the store to work and help. The fifth child has been admitted to graduate school this semester, and the third child has no object, and he used to follow the fifth child every day, but now he is a loner. Faced with Akemi's invitation, the third child happily went, and in his free time, he followed Li Guo to learn to make porridge. There are few classes in the fourth year, and the students have gone out for internships to find jobs, and the third child has taken a fancy to the business of this red bean bookstore, and plans to go back to his hometown to open one after graduation.

Within two weeks of opening, there was a turnover of 60,000 yuan, and after deducting some expenses, the profit was about 30%.

"Give you 10,000 yuan, this is half a month's dividend, you haven't had income for a long time, take the flowers first." At ten o'clock in the evening, after closing the store, back to the third residence, Akemi handed Li Guo an envelope with new money in it.

"Are all the expenses deducted? Did Zhang Wenhao and the third child get paid? Those who help every day have to be paid. Even if it's your boyfriend, you can't use someone else for nothing. Li Guo took the money, glanced at it, and put it directly into his pocket.

"Give Zhang Wenhao and the third child, a salary of 2,000 yuan per month, and pay it at the end of the month." Akemi picked up a bowl of red bean porridge and drank it.
