Amei's qualifications are still shallow, Huzi and Atu are more homely, and both of them tactfully expressed their reluctance to go to Shanghai.

The only candidate left is Ah Rong.

Fortunately, although Ah Rong is young and can take charge of himself, Lu Xiaoya is fortunate that the people he selected are very sincere and reliable, and he has lived up to his trust.

The cake shop is profitable, and the salary is much stronger than those 'iron rice bowls', which naturally makes the employees work harder.

In addition to the third chain store to be busy, she also has to take time to take the final exam of Yuncai Middle School, the test paper is not too difficult, but she has not studied well recently, and she doesn't know if the final grades will regress, so she can't manage so much for the time being, and when the winter vacation is empty, she will review it well, and then concentrate on the college entrance examination.

The cake shop in Shanghai has finally opened in the middle of the lunar month.

On this day, several of Lu Xiaoya's good friends Li Brother Wu Jiannick came together, and sent a flower basket to celebrate the opening in advance. There are also seven or eight tables and chairs in the store, so if there are customers who are inconvenient, they can stay in the store and eat snacks.

"Little bud girl, congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

"Thank you!"

Lu Xiaoya is in a particularly good mood today, she and several employees in the store are wearing custom-made work clothes, work caps and aprons printed with the logo of the grapefruit cake shop, which are probably the only ones in China.

The neat and uniform clothing gives people the feeling of being well-behaved and tall, which is completely different from the small shops on the street.

Even Yanzi wore a miniature version of his overalls, stepped on a small bench, kneaded the fermented dumplings in the back kitchen, and put them into the mold.

The opening reward activities are inevitable, and the first 200 people have the activity of giving ham sausages, so the customers have lined up on the long half street, and there are still a lot of onlookers watching the excitement.

"We're going to help."

Brother Li, Wu Jian and Nick saw that Ah Rong and the new employees were busy, and they were embarrassed to be idle, so they received the same apron and hat with Lu Xiaoya, collected the money and kneaded the dough, kneaded the dough, and joined the battle. Originally, on a cold day, move more, so that your hands and feet will not be cold.

Lu Xiaoya looked at the posture in front of her, there were more people than in Hangzhou City at that time, fortunately she added three large electric ovens in one go, but if she was still so busy when the heat passed, she had to hire another guy.

However, she can slowly hand over the matter of the new store to Ah Rong, otherwise she will have to manage both money and people, and she will definitely not be able to be busy if she is not split in half.

In less than two hours, the 200-person promotion was over, but the customers were still in a steady stream.

In the end, the people in the first-tier cities are richer and more knowledgeable, and they know that what she sells in her store is good things, even compared with the Hong Kong City cake shop, it is not inferior at all, and Lu Xiaoya has innovated two more cakes, always at the forefront of the trend, how can it not be popular.

It's almost noon, and the store is empty.

Brother Li rubbed his waist: "I can't do it, I can't straighten my waist!" ”

Wu Jian and Nick are not much better, everyone is quite tired, and Nick has already begun to shout hunger.

The cakes and bread in the glass cabinet are already sold out, and the electric oven is running at high speed, and it is still early before the baking time. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, even if there are customers, she can only wait.

The swallow pestered Brother Li, and his eyes rolled darkly: "Uncle Li, I want to play with your bricks." ”

"That's what you say?"

In fact, it is a big brother, long, like a brick, the most primitive version of the mobile phone, a bit similar to the later walkie-talkie, and the ringtone is comparable to a copycat amplification.

The swallow nodded vigorously.

Brother Li happily handed the eldest brother to her: "Okay, Uncle Li taught you how to make a phone call, look at it." ”

Lu Xiaoya admonished: "Brother Li, be careful, don't let her fall to the ground." ”

Big brother with tens of thousands of dollars!

Even if Lu Xiaoya makes money now, he can't bother to buy Big Brother, because first of all, many places can't receive the signal, and the number of the landline can't be connected, and only the rich big bosses can use it. 187

Brother Li had to buy one for her before, but she refused, but she really can't use it at present, and there is no need to toss the money, she still has to wait for the era of pagers or PHS.

Lu Xiaoya, as the owner, is going to a nearby restaurant to order some food, after all, there are eight or nine people, and there is no fast food delivery service now, so he can only go by himself.

"Lu, I'm with you, I heard that there are a lot of special snacks in Shanghai." Nick volunteered.

"Okay."

Lu Xiaoya nodded. In the past few months, Lu Xiaoya, Nick's French training class, has basically gone, since the two have opened up their relationship, now Nick has no idea about her, she is all a brother and sister and a friend, and she has completely abandoned the embarrassment.

When the two just went out, they bumped into the domineering female president Li Hong and her male secretary.

In the winter, the young woman combed her big back, wore a coat, stepped on high heels, black socks, a step skirt, and the jewel necklace around her neck was shining, and when she took off her sunglasses, Lu Xiaoya saw her face clearly, and barely recognized it, with a smile on her face: "Why did you come all the way from Haicheng?" ”

"I happened to be talking about business in Shanghai, and I talked to Brother Li on the phone, and I found out that your new store opened today."

Li Hong is holding a big brother in his hand, and the whole person looks cool and imposing. It seems that if you want to pretend to be forced these days, you must have a whole 'brick' by your side.

The male secretary beside her immediately asked people to send flower baskets, as well as more expensive ornaments and other congratulatory gifts.

Lu Xiaoya naturally kept thanking him, Brother Li, Wu Jian and Yanzi all came out to say hello, Li Hong smiled on his face, but he looked introverted.

Li Hong has changed too much, and she seems to have become an aggressive young lady.

She had spoken to all her acquaintances, but she was stunned the whole time, and she didn't look at the handsome and tall Nick without a single look.

Before Nick could react from the shock, he looked at Li Hong blankly, feeling a little aggrieved and lost in his heart. But didn't you hate people at the beginning, why didn't people pester you anymore, changed your appearance, didn't say hello, and you were upset? ?

Lu Xiaoya directly retained: "Let's eat together at noon, I didn't finish the meal in Haicheng last time." "At that time, she was in too much of a hurry, and the female president of the family was in a hurry, and she was quite embarrassed.

Li Honghong's lips moved, and she was about to agree, when the male secretary suddenly approached, lifted the glasses on the bridge of her nose, leaned over to Li Hong's ear and said, "Mr. Li, at noon, we made an appointment with Mr. Zheng of the commercial bank, and now it's almost twelve o'clock......

"yes, I see."

Li Hong bowed slightly, and turned to apologize to Lu Xiaoya, "I'm afraid I won't be able to have lunch with you today, let's do it in the evening, I'll treat you in the evening." ”

Lu Xiaoya always smiled: "It's okay, then you are busy, business is important." ”

It's already a shame that people can support the show.

After Li Hong and the male secretary left, Lu Xiaoya and Nick hurried to the hotel, and everyone was so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.

Nick was originally a talker, but he seemed unusually silent along the way.

Lu Xiaoya glanced at him, thinking of Li Hong's attitude, and teased: "Teacher Nick, how did I find out that you lost your soul?" Do you feel that you didn't know gold and jade at the beginning, and missed an excellent woman who likes you? ”

Nick understood what she meant, and flatly denied it: "No, of course not. ”

Lu Xiaoya smiled: "Okay, if you say no, there will be no one, anyway, Li Hong wants money and looks now, even international male models and male stars on the poster are eager to recommend themselves to the pillow, and they are rushing to fall in love with such a young female boss!" You didn't see her male secretary, she was very diligent, and she wanted to be on top of her ......"

Nick's angular face was slightly swollen: "Lu, why are you telling me this, I don't like her, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Lu Xiaoya did say casually that she really doesn't have time to be a matchmaker now, if the two of them really have fate, they will definitely be able to meet.

At the end of the day, it was more than eight o'clock that the Shanghai cake shop closed.

After all, it is a Shanghai market, and the main street at night is full of people, and the lights are bright, and if it closes too early, the loss is not small.

So Lu Xiaoya wanted to stay in Shanghai for a few more days to see how the business hours should be formulated.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a gown in his forties walked in with a cardboard box, "Which is the owner of the grapefruit cake shop?" ”
