Chapter Twenty-Eight: Three Years Ago

At this time, the two of them quieted down and returned to their jobs, while Gu Jiu was still writing the manuscript in his hand.

Suddenly, the editor-in-chief slowly approached Gu Jiu, leaned close to her ear and said, "It's done well." ”

β€œοΌŸ What the? What went well? Gu Jiu couldn't help but wonder

But the editor-in-chief didn't answer, but walked directly past Gu Jiu.

At this time, Chen Xin's ears became very sensitive, and when he saw that the editor-in-chief was far away, he moved the work chair to Gu Jiu's side.

"Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu, I just heard the editor-in-chief praise you! Our editor-in-chief never boasts about people, especially interns. ”

"Why do you praise me?"

Gu Jiu looked at Chen Xin with a confused expression.

"Did you forget? Didn't you go to do an interview two days ago, maybe it was because of this incident that the editor-in-chief praised you..."

"Really? But I followed Xiao Yun, it stands to reason that she shouldn't praise Xiao Yun? ”

The puzzled expression on Gu Jiu's face became even stronger.

"It's... Then I don't know..."

Xiao Yun, who was sitting opposite Gu Jiu's back, listened to their conversation, his hands clenched tightly, his teeth clenched, and his face was hideous.

I thought unhappily in my heart, why? I'm obviously the one who took Gu Jiu there, how can I be praised that she is not me! The editor-in-chief of the newspaper is a well-known big devil, I have never seen her praise anyone for so long, why! Why!

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Soon, it was noon

"Ha, I can finally rest for a while, my hands are sore."

Gu Jiu shook his hand a few times and stretched his waist widely

Chen Xin couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to eat now?" ”

"Isn't your boyfriend waiting for you downstairs at the newspaper office?"

"He's been a little busy lately, let's go together! I want to eat ramen! ”

Chen Xin pulled Gu Jiu's hand and said coquettishly

"HmmΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Okay, wait until I clean up the table. ”

Gu Jiu said as he slowly put away the somewhat messy tabletop.

Soon, after cleaning up, the two went down to the newspaper building and went to the ramen shop.

As soon as you walk into the ramen shop, you will be greeted by a warm welcome from the ramen shop owner.

"Again? It seems that the ramen at our restaurant is very popular with the two of you."

The ramen chef said with a chef's hat on top of his head and a smile

"Of course, Master, don't you take a look at how delicious your signature ramen is?"

"Delicious... It's not okay if no one comes to buy it..."The ramen chef lowered his head slightly, paused for a second or two, and then continued, "Is it still two copies of the signature noodles?" ”

"Yes, yes!"

Chen Xin nodded happily

Gu Jiu stood on the side and looked around the ramen restaurant, the decoration and furnishings were very good-looking, but the sales were really bleak, what was wrong?

Maybe... Gu Jiu seemed to think of something, so he opened his mouth and called out to the master who was about to enter the kitchen to make ramen.

"Ramen master, I think you can hold an event to see, and when everyone is familiar with your shop, they will definitely be attracted to it, and your family's business will definitely become very hot at that time."

"What activity?"

The ramen chef asked Gu Jiu suspiciously, and when he heard that Gu Jiu was coming up with an idea, Chen Xin was also attracted to it

"Recruit one or two propagandists outside, and put a signboard that says that couples can choose any of the same ramen at half price, the third person between friends is free, two people are invalid, and those who have visited the ramen restaurant more than ten times are discounted, and the elderly and children are half price, and if the business is good and the price will slowly increase, I can not think of much."

"It's really good, but now the ramen restaurant is about to close down due to the recession, and the capital chain is broken, I'm afraid it is... There is no more cost to recruit people. ”

The ramen chef lowered his head in disappointment.

"Uh..." Gu Jiu hesitated for a few seconds and pulled Chen Xin over, Gu Jiu leaned close to Chen Xin's ear and whispered, "Maybe we can come and help the ramen master promote it for free after work at noon." ”

"Are you sure? Then we come to help him promote it every day, and he will definitely not be happy. ”

Chen Xin turned his head and looked at the ramen shop master with some sympathy

"We can let him use the ramen as a payment for us, and the ramen shop chef will make the ramen in advance, so that we can eat the hot ramen as soon as we get off work, and we can have a little more time to promote the ramen chef."

"Wow! Xiao Jiu, you are so good! That way I don't have to think about what to eat at noon every day! ”

Chen Xin's heart couldn't suppress the joy

After the two finished speaking, Gu Jiu and Chen Xin turned around, and before the two could speak, the ramen master took the lead.

"I see... Forget it... I'm going to help you make ramen first, and I happened to cut a lot of beef this morning, so I'll give you a little more to avoid wasting..."

After speaking, the ramen chef turned around and prepared to leave, but the same was stopped by Gu Jiu from behind.

"We can come and advertise you after work, as long as you give each of us a bowl of ramen as payment! Do you think this works? ”

After Gu Jiu finished speaking, Chen Xin's gaze also quietly fell on the ramen master.

"But... Even if this event is not successful in the end, I will only lose a few copies of the ramen money, but it will cause you to waste so much time. ”

The ramen chef waved his hand and refused.

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way, Xiao Jiu and I don't usually rest much, right, Xiao Jiu"

Chen Xin winked at Gu Jiu

"Yes, yes," Gu Jiu nodded.

The ramen chef looked at the two of them with a puzzled face and said, "Is that really the case?" ”

"Yes!" Chen Xin spoke again.

"Okay, I won't charge you money today, let you eat enough for free"

After speaking, the ramen chef's face that was still full of doubts instantly smiled, turned around and walked to the back kitchen

Gu Jiu and Chen Xin looked at each other and smiled, since there were only two of them in the store, they randomly picked a seat and sat down to wait for the arrival of the ramen

Twenty-five minutes later, the two touched their full stomachs, and the ramen chef smiled with relief when he saw it.

Soon, the third and fourth customers came to the store, and Gu Jiu looked at the two of them until his eyes fell on the face of the woman standing in front

How could it be her..., the woman who stood next to Jiang Yi three years ago, Gu Jiu couldn't stop panicking in her heart, she wanted to find a place to hide.

"Little... Xiao Xin, I'm ...... I'll go for a while... Bathroom" Gu Jiuzhi said these words hesitantly.

"Ah, okay" Chen Xin couldn't stop worrying when he saw Gu Jiu's pale face, so he continued: "Do you want me to accompany you, you don't look very good"

"No, it's fine... I'll go... Go and go back."

Gu Jiu's whole person became very chaotic, dragging his heavy body to the bathroom.

The ramen chef saw that there were other people besides Gu Jiu and Chen Xin coming today, and he couldn't stop being happy in his heart, so he approached the two and said, "Welcome two"

The woman standing in front ignored it, but said to the person standing behind him, "Why did you come to such a deserted place?" ”

"Miss, you said you wanted to eat ramen, but this... I really couldn't find a ramen restaurant in the wilderness around here..., so I couldn't help it, so I came here," the boy who spoke was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and his waist was lower.

The woman took off the sunglasses she wore in her eyes and said impatiently, "Won't you take a look beforehand?" It's so dirty here, where can people eat? ”

The ramen chef standing on the side listened to it, but he didn't dare to be angry, so he could only wait silently for the orders of the two on the side.

"Or... Why don't we change to the next one? The boy standing in the back asked cautiously.

The woman standing in front of her fanned herself with her hand and glared at the boy who had just finished speaking

"Are you trying to starve Miss Ben? I'm going to eat it right now! ”

After the woman finished speaking, she found a random place to sit down

The boy was not idle, and directly asked the ramen master for two bowls of ramen.

"Why hasn't Xiao Jiu come out yet, I'm a little worried..."Chen Xin glanced at the watch he was wearing in his hand and muttered softly.

Then walk in the direction of the bathroom

Gu Jiu, who had just walked into the bathroom, had weak feet, poofed, and fell to the ground.

"How is her, how is she" The scene from three years ago suddenly emerged from Gu Jiu's mind, it was when she was most desperate and wanted to seek comfort, but she saw the scene that she didn't want to see and made her collapse instantly.

Gu Jiu tried hard to support the floor and wanted to stand up, but almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Chen Xin arrived in time to help her.

"Xiao Jiu, what's wrong with youΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Chen Xin's worried voice came.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I..."

Gu Jiu looked at Chen Xin, wanting to speak, but he didn't want to touch the things that made her finally come out three years ago.

"Why are you crying?"

Since Chen Xin didn't bring tissues into the bathroom, he could only wipe the tears that flowed down Gu Jiu with his hands...

"No... It's okay, let's go. ”

It turns out that I cried..., no wonder I felt wet on my face, but how could I cry for such a thing...

"Are you really okay?" Chen Xin frowned and looked at Gu Jiu, and then didn't want to ask too much and continued: "Okay, don't cry, let's go back and get tissues."

"Good"

Gu Jiu nodded, and then Chen Xin helped Gu Jiu out of the bathroom, took the bag on the seat, said goodbye to the ramen chef, and walked out of the ramen restaurant

The eyes of the boy and the woman sitting there quickly fell on the two of them.

The woman's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and she couldn't take her eyes off Gu Jiu for a long time.

Who is the girl who walked out, the woman's heart is full of suspicions, as if she has seen it in the book... Who is coming, the hand that was originally knocking on the table instantly turned into knocking on the temple.

The boy saw her expression and asked softly, "Miss, what's wrong?" What's so nice about those two girls? ”

The woman looked at the boys for a few seconds and asked, "Have you seen them anywhere?" ”

"No... Nope... How... What's wrong..."

"It's okay..."Could it be that I misremembered? But the man looked so familiar...

"Ramen is here, happy dining!"

The ramen chef handed the ramen bowls off the plate one by one and placed them in front of the two of them.

The two returned to the newspaper office, Gu Jiu's spirit was still in a trance, and he was numb to write there while sitting at his post, even if Chen Xin called her, she waited for a long time to answer, and Chen Xin could only look at her with a worried face.

After returning home from work at half past six in the evening, Chen Xin couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Jiu..., are you really okay?" I'll call you in the afternoon, and you won't get back to me until a long timeΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Wow, don't scare me, I'm scared. ”

"It's really okay," Gu Jiu replied without any expression.

"Okay, my boyfriend is here, you must recover to that energetic Xiao Jiu tomorrow, you know!"

"Good ......"

"Sister Jiu'er"

The little bun standing opposite Gu Jiu ran towards Gu Jiu, and the little bun looked at Gu Jiu blankly, "Why is there something wrong with Sister Jiu'er today, didn't you smile and touch my head before?" ”

"I guess you did something bad, your sister Jiu'er is going to beat you later, why don't you hurry up"

Jiang Yi joked.
