Chapter 14: Love on the Journey
After Ning Caicheng pushed the door in, a cute girl in a coffee-colored apron was bending down to salute him, raising her head, and a beautiful little face appeared in front of him, isn't this the person who haunts him from time to time? I didn't expect to meet here, this, is it fate?
"Shi Shi, you, why are you here? Is it a part-time job? Every time he saw Shi Shi, Ning Caicheng felt that his brain was a little insufficient, and in such an obvious situation, he even asked such a question.
"Uh-huh!" Seeing him, Shi Shi's face turned red uncontrollably, and her roommate had already told her all kinds of comments on the Internet, especially about the "kiss", which was really teased by them, so ...... The appearance of the person in front of him will always cause some unnecessary associations, especially the embarrassing scene in the hospital. After a short period of sluggishness, Shi Shi suddenly thought of his duty and hurriedly said, "Ah! Excuse me! Are you coming alone? Is it okay to sit by the window? What do you want to drink? Shi Shi seemed to have regained her state all of a sudden, seriously playing her current role, and blurted out a series of questions.
"Oh! No, no! After being asked so many questions by Shi Shi, Ning Caicheng finally remembered the purpose of his coming, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Actually, I am also here to find a part-time job, I saw on the Internet that there are waiters who understand English, so let's try it, is the boss there?" ”
"You're here to apply? Great! Finally someone who understands English came, after a waiter left, no one greeted foreigners, my English was not good, the manager still had to ask me to receive, saying that I was a college student, worried about me! It's good if you're here, I'll take you to the store manager! Hearing Ning Caicheng's intention, Shi Shi seemed very happy, his eyebrows fluttered when he spoke, and he showed a relieved expression at the end.
Although the coffee shop is not big, but business seems to be good, with warm American decoration, almost all the walls are hung with large and small frames, which are inlaid with landscape photos, and in addition to pots of green plants on the tables and shelves, there are also some strange things.
The most popular customer in the store is a pair of student-looking couples, snuggling up on the sofa and whispering, and occasionally the sound of girls laughing, which looks particularly warm and natural against the soft lighting of the store.
The manager is a man who looks to be in his early thirties, with slightly shorter hair and small eyes, who seems to be smiling all the time, although he can't say how handsome he is, but he looks very kind, and at the moment he is chatting with a girl sitting at the bar, the girl is giggling at him, for him, this is also part of the job.
Shi Shi introduced Ning Caicheng to the store manager, who extended a warm welcome to him.
"You said you are very good at English, that's right, there's a foreigner at the table over there, yes, it's the middle-aged woman who reads the magazine, you go talk to her and ask her what she thinks of our store." As long as you can talk well, you'll be hired, understand? ”
Ning Caicheng's English is indeed very good, this comes from his junior high school English teacher, who is a female teacher with an authentic London accent, a returnee young man who married to a poor county for love, she feels that Ning Caicheng has a good language talent, such a talent is indeed rare in such a county, so she favors Ning Caicheng and often guides him in her spare time. After graduating from junior high school, Ning Caicheng often visited her, and she also told him a lot of what he had seen and heard when he studied abroad, which opened Ning Caicheng's eyes. Ning Caicheng did not disappoint her, and she was very pleased with the language talent she displayed.
However, although Ning Caicheng's English skills are very good, he has never really talked to foreigners, and talking to Chinese in English is completely different from talking to foreigners, and the big girl will always be a little nervous when she gets on the sedan chair.
The middle-aged woman was very surprised by Ning Caicheng's standard pronunciation, and became somewhat interested in the young Chinese college student.
Although he was a little nervous at first, Ning Caicheng quickly adapted to the rhythm of this conversation, and he was excited that he could communicate with foreigners smoothly!
The middle-aged woman learned that Ning Caicheng was about to work in this coffee shop, and was happy to say that she was willing to visit more often in the future, she came to China alone to work, and missed her relatives far away from her hometown, Ning Caicheng reminded her of her son, who was about the same age as him.
The atmosphere of the chat between the two was very pleasant, even if they couldn't understand what they were talking about, they could see that Ning Caicheng had no problem with his English ability at all. Therefore, the store manager's assessment of Ning Caicheng naturally passed without any danger.
"Wow! Ning Caicheng, you are so powerful! Your English is amazing! I admire you so much to be able to talk to foreigners! Shi Shi has been paying attention to the situation on Ning Caicheng's side, seeing that he has completed the task perfectly, he looks very happy, looking at Ning Caicheng with admiration, his eyes are already very bright, what he can't do, others have completed it easily, and he naturally admires it, "From now on, we are colleagues!" ”
Maybe it's not the first time the two have met, to be precise, it's the third time they've met, Shi Shi is not as reserved as before, but seems very lively and enthusiastic, and chatters with Ning Caicheng about the situation in the store.
And at this moment, in Ning Caicheng's eyes, Shi Shi is no longer a goddess on top, but more like a little sister next door who has known each other for many years. The feeling between people is so strange, and the unfamiliar and the familiar are often judged by two people.
In addition to the store manager, there are two guys in the store, one is the assistant to the store manager, or an apprentice, the name is Wu Bin, follow the store manager to learn to make coffee, most of the time is to play at the bar, and his master's surname is completely different, usually silent, only know to work in a muffled voice, the store manager thinks that it is difficult for him to become an excellent barista with such a surname, but the coffee he makes tastes really good. The other is a short-haired girl named Tao Xin, although she is only two years older than Ning Caicheng and them, but she has been officially working in the store for two years, although she doesn't talk much, but she is very enthusiastic, quick with her hands and feet, practical and diligent, and she is deeply favored by the store manager.
When he was free, except for the store manager, the other two were all muffled gourds, and Shi Shi felt that he had no common language with them, and the store manager, Shi Shi always felt that he was squinting, so he subconsciously kept his distance. Now, Ning Caicheng is here, Shi Shi originally had a hint of apology for him, and seemed to have a little good impression, and the most important thing is that both of them are from the same school and the same grade, so naturally there are a lot of topics. Of course, the experience of that day, both of them tacitly chose not to talk about it.
From Shi Shi's mouth, Ning Caicheng also learned that there is a mysterious boss in this store, usually Shenlong sees the head but not the end, even the two old employees rarely see him, only know that the boss has a solid family, and loves to travel, most of the year is running all over the world, the scenery photos hanging in the store are taken by the boss himself, the level of photography is comparable to the master, and those miscellaneous small ornaments are he from all over the world to find back, every once in a while, he will come back to see, but not very concerned about the business situation, Just invited three or five friends to talk about his travels around the store in the store. The name of the café is a true reflection of his own life - love on the go.
Therefore, usually everything in this store is decided by the store manager, and the store manager is very satisfied with such a state, such a good boss can't be found with a lantern, so he naturally redoubles his efforts. At present, the store manager is very satisfied with the two new part-time college students. There are not many beauties like Shi Shi who are willing to come to work, her existence has really added a lot of glory to the store, people come to her every day, it is not uncommon to talk to each other, every time the store manager will come out to solve the siege very righteously, of course, the purpose is also self-evident. Today's new Ning Caicheng's English level really opened his eyes, the student who had just resigned before spoke English and Ning Caicheng was simply miserable, but he still relied on the store to be inseparable from him for a while, as if he was dragging two hundred and fifty or eighty thousand, the store manager opened him under the unbearable situation, fortunately there was a level higher than that, and it seemed to be more modest. However, seeing where he was laughing with Shi Shi, he felt a little unhappy.
"You two talk less and work hard!"
Shi Shi carried the store manager behind his back, and the naughty Chao Ning Caicheng stuck out his little tongue, and Ning Caicheng couldn't help but laugh.
