Li Zhen's words made Tang Bao have infinite reverie and longing.

However, looking at Li Zhen, who was still calm, without any different colors, Tang Bao hesitated again, did he think too much.

At this time.

It was about 11 o'clock in the evening, but the street lights lit up the campus, and a few students occasionally walked by the roadside.

Both of them fell into a brief silence on the way.

"Phew, I really hope you can stay at Columbia University for graduate school, so that we will have more opportunities to meet." After being silent for a long time, Tang Bao mustered up the courage to say what was in his heart, don't look at him who is usually idle and panicked, hiding in the library all day like a hermit, but Tang Bao himself understands that there will not be too many opportunities for this kind of leisure. Li Zhen stayed at Columbia, and by his side, they could still see each other often.

Leaving Columbia, it's a world apart.

Maybe now that the transportation is developed, geographical distance is not a problem, but Tang Bao doesn't think so.

"You...... What kind of friend are you, you don't want me to get into a better Harvard University. Li Zhen pretended to be angry and said.

Suddenly, Tang Bao said suddenly: "I like you and don't want to be separated from you." ”

Without the slightest warning, Tang Bao didn't think so much, the words popped out of his mouth, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Li Zhen with some nervousness.

Li Zhen also fell silent.

Tang Bao likes her, she already knows this, but Tang Bao suddenly told her, is this confessing to her? She herself did not think about the situation.

"You're a little brat, what do you know?" Suddenly, Li Zhen giggled.

Forehead......

Tang Bao's age has long been picked up by the news media, he is not yet fifteen years old, he is really a minor, and it is not bad to say that he is a little child.

But that's not right.

He was a middle-aged uncle in his previous life, and in this life, his age is close to "sixty years old", does it have anything to do with minors?

"Puppy love is not a good child."

“……”

Tang Bao's face darkened, and Li Zhen's way of changing the topic made him a little depressed, and he couldn't guess what she meant.

"It's getting late, it's time for me to go back."

"Okay."

Although Tang Bao still wanted to stay alone with her for a while, Li Zhen wanted to go back, and he didn't force it, just silently sent her back to the bedroom.

Li Zhen walked ahead.

Tang Bao followed silently, no one spoke again, and fell into an eerie silence.

Looking at the girl with a long ponytail in front of him and her tall back, Tang Bao regretted a little, maybe he shouldn't have expressed his love abruptly tonight. He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips and swallowed again, stalking girls to the death, it was not Tang Bao's style, and he couldn't do it.

Alas.

Tang Bao sighed depressedly.

He could see that although Li Zhen spoke lightly, as if it had never happened, her silent attitude proved everything, and her mood was not as calm as it seemed on the surface. It's just that Tang Bao doesn't know what she thinks, she should have a good impression of herself.

"It's the girls' dormitory in front, I'll go to the convenience store next to me to buy something and go back, you can go back and rest early." Li Zhen, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke again.

"It's all sent here, and I'm not in a hurry for that moment." Tang Bao did not leave obediently.

"Whatever you want."

Dropping a sentence, Li Zhen walked towards the 7-Eleven convenience store next to her.

This is a very special 7-Eleven franchise convenience store, under normal circumstances, 7-11 convenience stores open at 7 a.m. and close at 11 p.m. However, the 7-Eleven convenience store on the campus of Columbia University has postponed its opening time to 1 a.m. for the convenience of students.

Walk into a convenience store.

Tang Bao didn't have anything to buy, so he stayed at the door and waited.

……

"Kevin, have you heard, it seems that there is news from the head office that the franchise fee of the 7-11 convenience store is going to rise, you said that the profit of our convenience store is not very high, and the franchise fee will rise again, and the operating cost of our store will increase a lot, and it may fall into a loss."

"Hmm. It seems that there is a crisis in the operation of the head office, and there is a problem in the capital chain......"

"That's not what we should be concerned about, the authorization period we got is coming up, and then we have to renew the franchise fee, which is a big expense."

"Alas......"

……

The topic of discussion between the two happened to be heard clearly by Tang Bao, who was standing not far away.

These two people are supposed to be the owners of this 7-Eleven convenience store.

A crisis at the head office?

Doesn't that refer to the head office of 7-Eleven convenience stores, Tang Bao thought to himself.

"Excuse me, what is the 7-Eleven convenience store head office crisis that you are talking about?" Tang Bao stepped forward and asked.

7-Eleven is a very famous global brand, but he has never heard of any major crisis that this company has experienced.

"We don't know the specifics, but it may be because of the failure of the diversification expansion of the head office, resulting in huge investment losses......

"Oh."

Tang Bao nodded understandingly. "By the way, I heard that you still have to pay a franchise fee, don't you only need to pay the franchise fee once for this convenience store?"

"Hmm. However, most of the 7-Eleven convenience stores in the United States are directly operated by the company, and the external franchise authorization is limited. When we chose to open this convenience store, we also took a lot of risks, so we only chose to franchise for a five-year period. In order to continue operating the convenience store, you must pay a franchise fee to the head office again. The slightly older owner explained in detail.

"You join such a brand convenience store, how difficult is it or afraid of losing money?"

"Hey, it's impossible to make a steady profit without losing money in any business, how can you not worry. What's more, there are already two supermarkets on the campus of Columbia University, and there is a lot of competition pressure. ”

……

Tang Bao and the two shopkeepers chatted slowly.

"What are you talking about?"

At this time, Li Zhen, who went in to pick up things, came out and saw Tang Bao chatting with the store, and couldn't help but be curious.

"Well, it's nothing, just talk about the 7-Eleven convenience store."

Li Zhen answered softly, and put the things at the cash register to checkout, and seemed to return to the previous awkward atmosphere.

"Hey man, did you off your girlfriend?" The younger shopkeeper couldn't help but ask when he saw that there was something strange between Tang Bao and Li Zhen.

Forehead......

Tang Bao opened his mouth and smiled bitterly secretly, girlfriend? The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, and his sudden confession tonight seems to have failed.

"It's okay, man, women are coaxed."

"Your girlfriend is so beautiful......"

It seems that he has chatted with Tang Bao just now, and the words of the two shopkeepers can't help but increase.

"Uh, thank you."

Tang Bao saw that Li Zhen had been standing next to him, and he didn't mean to explain, so he naturally wouldn't deny it, so he politely thanked him.

Paid.

Tang Bao and Li Zhen leave the convenience store.

"Your popularity is very good, and it's only been a few minutes since you had a hot fight with the shopkeeper." Li Zhen said strangely.

"Hehe, let's talk about it."

Tang Bao laughed.

"Really?"

Li Zhen whispered softly and walked into the girl.

Forehead......

Tang Bao was helpless, this woman was really fickle, seeing that the atmosphere between the two was showing signs of improvement, but she actually walked away so lightly. And what does the last word "yes" mean? Tang Bao was confused, and could only sigh secretly that it was really a woman's heart, a needle under the sea.
