The day after tomorrow afternoon, Monday.

After the last class of "Fundamentals of Accounting" was finished, I said hello to Xiaolei, the son of my waist, and said that there was something at home, and I might not go back to school tomorrow, so I asked them to help me roll call during class. I went back to the dormitory and simply packed my things, I changed into clean clothes, walked out of the north gate of Beixin University of Science and Technology, and took the car back to the Qianmen courtyard. Mom and Dad got off work early today, one was reading the evening newspaper in the yard, and the other was listening to the radio.

"Huh? How did you get back? My mother looked at me unexpectedly: "Ming'er has no class in the morning?" ”

I nodded, "...... The school has just started, and the classes are relatively wide. ”

"Didn't you just go yesterday?" Dad flipped the newspaper and frowned: "It will take more than three hours to come and go this time, and the next time I don't have class, I will review honestly with the school, what are you tossing?" ”

"Got it." I glanced at the East House, "Where is Aunt Zou and Grandma Zou?" ”

Mom turned down the sound of the radio a little, and chin Nunu outside the courtyard, "Your Aunt Zou went to work in Liulichang, your Grandma Zou doesn't know where she is, and no one knocked on the door when I came back, yo, I'm back, eh?" How can there still be a car? Who's that man? Well? Grandma Zou's youngest son? ”

Looking out along my mother's line of sight, I saw a pure black Audi A6 parked steadily at the gate of the courtyard, a man came down from the car first, trotted around to the other door, politely opened the co-pilot's door to Grandma Zou, helped her get out of the car, closed the door with a backhand, and walked into the courtyard with Grandma Zou. I was slightly surprised that the man was actually Chen Ping, the owner of the Siping beauty salon.

"Auntie, slow down, be careful of the threshold." Chen Pingdao.

"It's okay, I'm on my legs." Grandma Zou smiled from ear to ear, looked at my parents and my parents, pointed at Chen Ping and said: "This is the Boss Chen Ping Chen that Yue'e girl said back to him, he came at noon, he had to invite me to dinner, what did he go to, what Maxim's restaurant, onion soup, cakes, all Western food, I can't name it, hehe, I asked for two bowls of bitter stuff and chatted all afternoon." ”

Chen Ping smiled: "It's coffee." ”

Grandma Zou nodded vigorously: "Yes, the coffee, it's delicious." ”

My mother observed Chen Ping repeatedly, got up and said to Grandma Zou: "Heh, then you are blessed, I have never eaten Western food, sit down, rest for a while." "The stone pier was not enough to sit, so my mother asked me to go back to the house and move a chair for Chen Ping.

After everyone introduced each other, Grandma Zou patted the back of Chen Ping's hand, "It's not that I'm blessed, it's Yue'e who is blessed, this kid is so good." ”

"Auntie, you've won the prize." Chen Ping said modestly.

My mother asked, "I heard that you are coming to Yanjing to open a store this time?" ”

Chen Ping nodded: "The store site friend has already helped choose, it is being renovated, it is estimated that it will be officially opened after the National Day, hehe, I plan to let Yue'e help me now, to be honest, I have never seen a female surname with such brains and abilities as her." ”

Grandma Zou hurriedly praised her daughter, "Yes, our family Yue'e doesn't say anything else, the head is definitely good." ”

My mother understood what Grandma Zou meant, and echoed: "Yes, my sister is beautiful, has a smart head, and can speak well, where can I find such a good girl?" ”

I coughed hard, and as a result, my mother kicked me hard.

After chatting for a while, Chen Ping suddenly said, "Yue'e should get off work, right?" Let's have dinner together in the evening? ”

Mom and Dad shook their heads: "We won't go, there are still leftovers at home." ”

Grandma Zou said: "I ate those Western foods at noon, and now I am nested in my stomach, I am not hungry, you can eat with Yue'e." ”

"Okay, I'll pick her up from work."

As soon as Chen Ping left, Grandma Zou immediately smiled and said, "This Boss Chen is rich and capable, and his surname is fine, well, this time I am relieved." "Usually, Grandma Zou is used to talking with a strained face, and it is rare to see the old lady so happy.

Mom blinked: "It's decided?" What did Yue'e say? ”

"It's settled." Grandma Zou snorted, "She? Does she dare not listen to me? By the way, Xiao Cui, you help me dial a number on Yue's mobile phone, tell her that I agree, and let her take care of it herself. ”

My mother smiled, "Okay, I think this person is not bad." ”

I'm called a depressed, my relationship with Aunt Zou is gradually heating up, why did I kill such a trip halfway? Not bad? Knowing people, knowing faces, not knowing hearts! Just a few words, isn't that good?

I felt like I couldn't wait any longer, "Mom, I want to eat the cold skin at the mouth of the alley, and I won't eat with my family at night." ”

My mother glared at me: "I love to eat those bits and pieces, go early and come back early!" ”

"Yes."

Out of the courtyard, I trotted all the way to Liulichang, it is now the time to get off work, there are two or three schools on South Xinhua Street, traffic jams are inevitable, and it is estimated that Chen Ping will not arrive a little earlier than me. Sure enough, as soon as I ran to the intersection of the East and West Liulichang Junction, I saw Chen Ping and Zou Yue'e walking towards the Audi car at the intersection with a smile, and it seemed that Aunt Zou had left work early.

I shouted from afar: "Aunt Zou! ”

Zou Yue'e blinked, "Huh? Didn't you go to school? ”

I smiled bitterly: "Didn't I say that day, I will take you to Wangfujing on Monday." ”

Zou Yue'e suddenly sighed, looked at Chen Ping, and smiled at me: "Tomorrow, there is something going on today, Boss Chen said to take me to visit the new site of his beauty salon, and I also want to see how it is decorated." ”

I didn't have the eyesight to say, "Let's go together?" ”

Without waiting for Zou Yue'e to say anything, Chen Ping, who was smoking a Yuxi cigarette on the side, snuffed out the cigarette and said, "Okay, it's not far anyway." ”

Zou Yue'e was silent, and after Chen Ping opened the door and got into the car, she smiled and dropped a sentence in my ear: "Don't make trouble, do you know?" ”

Along South Xinhua Street all the way to the south, after passing Hufang Road, after turning a few corners, the Audi car drove to the north gate of Taoranting Park. This area is also relatively lively nearby, there are restaurants, parks, hairdressers, etc., however, it does not belong to the commercial street, and most of the customers are residents in several neighborhoods, so naturally it cannot be compared with Beichen and Xidan.

After parking the car, Chen Ping pointed to a hairdresser with a light box diagonally across the road and said, "This is it." ”

After crossing the street, Chen Ping smiled and led the two of us into the store full of decoration materials, and heard a person with a dozen A4 papers in his hand call him "Boss Chen", Chen Ping nodded and said hello, "How's the progress?" The young man replied, "According to your request, the two walls in the back have been painted, and you can see what else is wrong?" ”

"It's okay, you're busy, I'll take a friend to take a casual look."

The area of the hair salon is not small, it is twice the area of the restaurant I saw in Hufang Bridge, just one floor, boxy, if you reduce the area of the small hall at the front desk, it is estimated that five or six huts can be divided into one or two large houses, well, generally speaking, it is okay, it is more than enough to be a beauty salon.

Chen Ping looked around with satisfaction and looked back at us: "How do you feel?" ”

Zou Yue'e looked around in admiration, a little distracted, and when Chen Ping asked again, she reacted, "I'm sorry, I'm fascinated, hehe, I thought you were going to try it with the far suburbs, but I didn't expect to choose such a good place as soon as I came up, well, Boss Chen is really generous, if you want to open a store of this scale, why do you need an investment of one or two million, it seems that your future development focus is on Yanjing?" ”

Aunt Zou's surprise seemed to make him very useful, and Chen Ping's smile became even stronger, "Yes, Siping is a small city after all, compared to a first-tier area like Yanjing, the development prospects are really limited, in the future, I want to slowly flow the money earned from the business over there into this side, and when this beauty shop has a stable foundation and has a fixed source of customers, I will think about opening a branch with Haidian Chaoyang." ”

Zou Yue'e nodded heavily, "With your means, the business will definitely get bigger and bigger, Boss Chen, I congratulate you in advance?" ”

Chen Ping took out a cigarette and lit it, and said with a wry smile: "Don't Boss Chen, Boss Chen, call me by my name." ”

"Okay." Zou Yue'e smiled and looked up at the ceiling, "Alas, it's so nice here, I feel a little envious of it." ”

Chen Ping took a puff of cigarette, proudly led us to the innermost, pointed to the corner and said: "Here I am going to divide a large room, get some recently popular health and beauty, everything mentioned in the Yanjing Science and Education Channel "Yangshengtang", give it a review." ”

Zou Yue'e sighed, "That investment is big again." ”

Chen Ping smiled slightly: "It's not bad for a few dollars, look at that side, I still want to get a sauna, not too big, just a little smaller, the key is to give customers a 'I have a complete equipment and service here' concept, I inquired with people, it was not that there was no beauty shop here before, but the loss is the loss in the service project is too few, of course I will not follow in their footsteps, I can get more and more." ”

Zou Yue's eyes blinked: "How much are you going to invest?" ”

Chen Ping groaned and said, "One hundred and fifteen in the initial stage, and an additional fifty or one hundred next year, depending on the turnover." ”

"Such a big investment?" Zou Yue'e sighed faintly: "I thought that I would wait for my seventies and eighties, and break into this business with the money I saved, alas, but this investment is one hundred or two million, who can stand it?" It seems that I want to open my own store for the rest of my life. ”

Hearing this, Chen Ping glanced at her thoughtfully, as if he was thinking about something, and soon, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "Let's eat, there is a youth restaurant over there, I had a meal with my friends last time, and it tasted good." ”

"Wait two minutes, I'll take a look." Zou Yue'e seemed to like it very much, walked to the young man in charge of decoration and asked about the layout, borrowed the drawings to take a closer look, nodded silently, and gave Chen Ping a few ideas, before reluctantly walking out of the porch.

Before getting on the bus, I proposed, "Let's go to Wangfujing and eat." ”

Zou Yue'e glanced at me angrily and funny: "You're really welcome." ”

I spread my hands: "I'm in for a treat." ”

Chen Ping smiled and looked at Aunt Zou: "It doesn't matter, I heard that the snacks in Wangfujing are also good, listen to Yue'e, you can go wherever you say." ”

"Then, let's go to Wangfujing, that's right." Zou Yue, who opened the car door, glanced at me: "What did you say the day before yesterday to go to Wangfujing?" ”

Of course, I couldn't tell her in advance, "You'll know when you go." ”

Drove to Wangfujing, parked the car in the underground parking lot, and we walked to the snack street.

From Monday to Zhou, Wangfujing is in a state of overcrowding, people are crowded, people are crowded, and it is not lively. I asked for a large bowl of tea and a few donkeys to roll around, while Chen Ping and Zou Yue'e ate dandan noodles. A meal is eaten quickly, and it is over in less than ten minutes.

Chen Ping wiped his mouth with a napkin, "Yue'e, Tao Ranting's shop, do you like it?" ”

Zou Yue'e squeezed out a charming dimple, "...... Of course I like it, I'm almost envious of you bosses, hehe, you don't know, my dream when I was a child was to have my own beauty shop, if I can really get my wish in my lifetime, even if I have a short life of ten years, I am happy, alas, alas, it's a pity, I can only think about it, I'm still honest and work for people. ”

Chen Ping threw out an olive branch: "A capable person like you can't show anything in Boss Pei's shop, how about it?" Can you help me? As long as you are willing to come, the position of the manager must be yours, the salary is negotiable, and the affairs of the beauty salon are all up to you, and I will not dictate your business methods. ”

Zou Yue'e cast a grateful look and took a sip of wine with a smile, "I said last time, Boss Pei has the grace of knowing me, and I left so quietly, it's really a bit unreasonable, alas, let me think about it, okay?" ”

Chen Ping looked at me, and then looked at Zou Yue's eyes: "What about the two of us?" ”

Aunt Zou's eyelashes fanned up and down, "...... Let me think about it too. ”

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and suddenly, Chen Ping, who stepped on the cigarette butt, said: "That's it, Yue'e, in terms of salary and treatment, let's go according to the price I told Siping and you, and the rest, um......" Chen Ping knocked on the edge of the noodle bowl with his fingernails, and said, "...... I'll give you another three percent of the shares. ”

Zou Yue'e was stunned: "Three percent? Share? ”

"Yes......" Chen Ping looked at her calmly: "That is to say, in the future, we will both be the bosses of this shop, hehe, you said that you also dream of having your own beauty shop, I think, you shouldn't refuse this proposal, right?" Even if Boss Pei values you again, you will be a manager at most if you do the highest, and she will not be able to give you shares. ”

Zou Yue'e took a breath with a moving expression and spit it out, "...... Is this true? ”

Chen Ping said: "That's nature. ”

Playing with the small two-pot wine bottle in her hand, Zou Yue'e narrowed her eyes and opened her mouth to say something.

"Ahem!" I coughed to the side, "Are you done eating?" You're done eating, right? ”

They didn't continue the conversation, and we walked along the west side of the road, to the north. Suddenly, I paused, stopped in front of a sign that read "Paris Bridal Shop", and looked inside. Zou Yue'e and Chen Ping also slowed down their pace and followed my line of sight.

"Xiaojing, what's wrong?" Zou Yue'e looked strangely at the almost formed bar in the room, "What about this decoration, is it going to be changed to a bar?" ”

A passer-by who was also watching the excitement said: "It's not a bar, I heard that it is going to be changed to a beauty salon." ”

Chen Ping sighed: "Really? What does a beauty salon want a bar for? ”

Zou Yue's eyes lit up: "I guess the owner of this house wants to make a rest area on the first floor, TV, magazines, coffee, bars, all blended together to make a high-end club, well, it's a fresh idea, but the cost is too high, the investment is too big, so few beauty salons in Yanjing dare to follow suit, hehe, go in and have a look?" ”

Chen Ping said: "Okay, but I don't know if people will let me visit." ”

Zou Yue'e took the lead in pushing open the glass door and walked in, Chen Ping and I followed, until we entered the house, no one stopped us, a few renovation workers looked up at us, and they were busy with their own work, and no one squeaked. One of the workers who was resting on the PVC board even threw away his cigarette butts and got to work seriously after seeing us.

Chen Ping said strangely: "Yue'e, why did they seem to work harder as soon as you came in?" ”

"How do I know?" Zou Yue's expression was also a little puzzled, "...... Anyway, no one stopped us, so let's just watch and observe? ”

Although it has not yet been built, the general outline has been outlined, the outside is a very large long hall, a vacant space on the left is the bar counter and the place reserved for tables, chairs and sofas, the right side is still empty, it should be to set up a service desk, look in along the crack, there are several large rooms next to the stairs leading to the second floor, I don't know what to do.

Zou Yue'e lowered her head and inquired with a renovation worker, was stunned, got up and looked at us, "I thought the innermost room on the first floor was a beauty room, but it turned out that it was not, I heard that it was going to be made into a conference room, a reception room, and even a fitness room, good guys, this is really a big deal, such a big floor, there is no room for beauty equipment?" ”

"That's right." Chen Ping looked left and right, sighed, and said with a slight sigh: "This is called a beauty salon." ”

Zou Yue'e looked around with envy, "The style is really enough, and the location is good, such a club, you have to invest six or seven million, right?" ”

Chen Ping shook his head categorically: "Impossible, this is the same as Wangfujing, and look at this decoration, the second and third floors are estimated to be no different, I estimate, let alone six or seven million, if you invest in the initial stage, you can't get one million, you have to go up according to 10 million, and you have to add the investment in the medium term, heh, how can you get about 13 million?" ”

Zou Yue'e smiled bitterly and said, "There are so many rich people. ”

"Yanjing is the capital, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, there are many officials, and there are even more rich." Chen Ping said: "This shop, I'm afraid it's the largest beauty club in the neighborhood, Yue'e, let's do it with me, with your mind, one day we can also do this scale." ”

"I hope so."

Chen Ping's face was overjoyed: "So, did you agree?" ”

"Wait! Wait a minute! I stretched out my hand to stop Aunt Zou and looked at Chen Ping apologetically: "Boss Chen, I'm really sorry, my Aunt Zou can't promise you." ”

Chen Ping frowned: "What did you do?" ”

"Xiaojing, what are you talking about!" Zou Yue'e hurriedly dragged me, pulled me aside and whispered: "I knew I wouldn't let you come, how did I explain to you before, don't make trouble, don't make trouble, what are you going to do?" Chengxin doesn't let Aunt Zou feel better, right? ”

"I'm ...... for your good"

"For my sake, shut up." Zou Yue'e glanced at me: "I didn't promise to marry him, that's three percent of the shares, don't you know, Aunt Zou has this one dream, since she has the opportunity to be the boss, why don't I agree?" Don't mess things up for me, or I'll go back and see if I don't beat you. "My mom is more authoritative when she says this, are you? I don't know who beats whom.

I looked at her solemnly: "Okay, then I ask you, the first question, do you want to open your own beauty salon?" ”

Zou Yue'e squinted at me: "Nonsense." ”

I said to the tiles on the ground: "Well, the second question, do you like it here." ”

“…… Or nonsense. ”

I stretched out my palms upward: "Isn't this over, I don't need to ask the third question." ”

Zou Yue'e said angrily: "What's the end?" What's the same thing? ”

I must be stunned, and pointed around the beauty salon with my hand: "I want to say that I opened this store, what will you do?" ”

"What to do?" Zou Yue'e smiled: "Slap you to death!" ”

“…… Uh, okay, then you shoot me to death. ”

"Why should I shoot you to death?"

"Because I opened this shop."

“…… Do you believe that I really shot you to death? ”

"You just slapped me flat, and I opened this store." Seeing this, I turned my head and walked over with Aunt Zou and said, "Aunt Zou's work has been settled, just here, thank you for your kindness." ”

Chen Ping smiled and pointed to the ceiling: "You drove it?" ”

Zou Yue'e bluffed and glared at me: "Xiaojing, don't make trouble, okay?" ”

The more Aunt Zou said this, the greater the satisfaction in my heart, he smiled, and walked quickly to the busy workers, "...... This big brother, the floor tiles are quite new, I won't change them for the time being, just use their wedding dress shop, but a few tiles in the corner of the wall are cracked, and then you tell the person in charge to see if you can find the exact same...... Yes, if I can't find it, I'll call the owner of the bridal shop and ask him where he bought it...... Eh, that uncle, look at your sweat, let's rest for a while, I'll buy you a bottle of water? ”

The older man wiped his sweat and said, "No, by the way, the bar is ready here, does the person in charge let you see the right way?" ”

I nodded and said: "I just saw it, it's exactly the same as what I designed, okay, it's good, then you're busy, don't bother, by the way, do you see the woman over there, I won't care about the decoration in the future, all of them will be in charge of her, she said how to pretend, how you pretend, in short, her words are my words, don't say hello to me." ”

Many people said at the same time: "Okay." ”

I walked back to Zou Yue'e and the others, "This is the letter, right?" If the house weren't mine, would I be able to support it like this? ”

Zou Yue'e and Chen Ping were stunned, staring at me blankly, speechless.

"Let's go, I'll show you both upstairs." I led the way in front, walked up the stairs, pointed to the corridor and said: "Here I want to hang a few landscape calligraphy and paintings, improve some temperament, of course, hang modern handicrafts in the early stage, and so on, I will find a few paintings and calligraphy in the Tang and Song dynasties, how magnificent are they hung?" ”

I only heard Zou Yue's stunned voice sounding behind her: "Xiaojing, what's going on?" Where did you get the money? ”

"Well, uh, I'll tell you later."

Waiting on the second floor, I pointed to the rooms that had just seen the scale and said: "This is the place of the aromatherapy health bath, the rose bath, the milk bath, the salt bath, oh, of course, not the barrel type, I am going to let the workers make the small bath surrounded by stones in the resort, well, there is a beauty room, a sauna, this is the place to focus on decoration, not how big, but to have connotation, to be exquisite, to be elegant, uh, but this is just my preliminary planning, as for how to install it, Aunt Zou, you just decide." ”

Zou Yue'e swallowed and foamed, "...... You're not playing with Aunt Zou, are you? ”

I touched my nose and pointed to the third floor: "There is an office above, you can work there in the future, oh, the VIP room is also on the third floor, and some of the more expensive services are piled up, anyway, the more luxurious the better, don't many rich people just like to compare?" Well, okay, everything that should be introduced has been introduced, Aunt Zou, what do you think of here? Isn't it to your liking? ”

Zou Yue'e inhaled, "God, I don't even know what to say, you, how do you ......"

I said, "Go to your office and have a look?" ”

"Wait a minute." Chen Ping finally came back to his senses and frowned, "She hasn't agreed to work for you yet, has she?" Yue'e, I admit that the scale of his shop here is more than a step stronger than my Taoran Pavilion store, but the conditions I give you are definitely more generous than his, in my place, you are the boss......"

I interrupted, "What part-time job?" Who do you work for? ”

Chen Ping said: "Don't you want to ask Yue'e to be the manager?" ”

Zou Yue'e forgot about me and didn't say anything.

"What's the reason?" I shook my head: "I gave this store to Aunt Zou, and I don't want a percentage of the shares, it's all hers, that is to say, there is only one owner of this store, surnamed Zou." ”

Zou Yue'e was a little dumbfounded: "Send me?" What do you mean!? ”

I said, "Remember what I said the last time I visited the glass factory with you?" You like beauty salons, I said I'll give it to you, oh, I made a promise at that time, I can keep it. ”

Chen Ping stopped talking for a while, and after a while, he said, "I still have some things, so let's go first." ”

Kicking and kicking, he sighed and went downstairs.

Turning my head, I looked at her: "This gift, do you like it?" ”

I'm thinking about such a big gift, why don't you give me a hug?

Who knows, Zou Yue'e retracted her gaze to look downstairs, and the surprise on Fang Cai's face was swept away, she sneered and gave me a blank look: "Okay, everyone is gone, what else are you pretending?" ”

I froze: "Pretend? ”

She squinted her eyes: "You, you can't see Aunt Zou well, finally have a chance to be the boss, let you mess with, right?" I know you're afraid that he will take advantage of me, but now that I think about it, why did he give me three percent of the shares for no reason? Alas, forget it, it's blown anyway, there's no need to think about it anymore. Under my stupid gaze, Zou Yue'e said to Nunu downstairs: "How much money did you give to the renovation team workers?" The play is quite well acted. ”

"Dizzy, this is really my shop!"

Zou Yue'e squinted at me: "Blow, then blow, take Aunt Zou for a fool?" I don't know how many pounds and taels you have? ”

I was speechless for a while, took out a dozen bills from my bag and stuffed them into her hand, "There are lease contracts here, there are orders for beauty equipment, and there are agreements signed with the decoration company, well, you see whose name is on it?" ”

Zou Yue'e took it and took a look: "............&¥##@@##@%!! ”
