Chapter008 Walk towards the Light
"Did that uncle tell you what you were going to do?"
"Yes." Xu Zhengchen turned out the paper ball in his trouser pocket and passed it to Jiang Yizhe.
Jiang Yizhe spread out the crumpled paper ball, and the task column on the paper was written with the words "restaurant renovation", and the cost was classified in the decoration aspect.
There is only one thing to do, don't mess around with Su Yuxi.
Sure enough, this uncle's joking personality is still the same, and Xu Zhengchen silently despised him in his heart for three seconds.
It's just that it is really difficult to cope with the work of Xu Zhengchen and Jiang Yizhe.
Xu Zhengchen had to temporarily agree that Su Yuxi would stay and help, and at the same time began to work hard to develop a marketing strategy for the restaurant to increase the store's business. On the one hand, it is because the store needs to be renovated, and on the other hand, it is convenient to earn medical expenses and the return of the work of the three people.
Jiang Yizhe crossed his hands and said, "Leave the position of chef to me, you and ...... Uh, what's the name of this pretty girl? ”
"Su Yuxi."
"You and Su Yuxi are responsible for serving and receiving customers, distributing flyers and making posters to attract more customers, and as for the takeaway delivery work, of course, it is up to you."
"Okay, no problem."
"Without further ado, let's start now."
"Oh!" Xu Zhengchen raised his right hand, and Su Yuxi, who was stunned on the side, also raised his hand.
Even if you stop and sigh
You're still you
Try to give up and keep praying
The future will change
Don't always be afraid of losing
Habit of drowning in grief
Come on, move forward
Don't wait for anyone, let's go
Let's gallop in this era
Learn about the pain of running barefoot
The air dried the sweat on his body
You are still a gentle man
Live as you do today
Unwilling to give up and live bravely
Shout as hard as you can until you are hoarse
until tears flowed
Come on, shout louder
"Nerd, the dishes ordered by the guests at tables 3 and 4 are ready, serve them quickly." Jiang Yizhe brought the prepared dishes to the windowsill and hurriedly urged him.
"There is too much copy for this flyer, and the pattern is not new, so I need to make another copy." Jiang Yizhe, who had finished counting Xu Zhengchen, patted him on the shoulder.
"Hello sir, this is the latest few dishes launched by Youwei Restaurant, and you can enjoy a 70% discount at the minimum." Seeing Xu Zhengchen distributing the leaflets earnestly and diligently, Su Yuxi couldn't help but hand him the tissue in his shirt pocket.
"The takeaway I ordered remarked that I didn't want chili peppers, and there were too many chili peppers in this one." The young man glanced at the takeaway that Xu Zhengchen was carrying, and said in disgust.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! In the community, the wild dog that was stepped on its tail chased after Xu Zhengchen all the way, "Don't chase-"
"Nerd, get up and hand out the morning flyer, don't sleep any more." Jiang Yizhe shook the alarm clock next to the bed, startling Xu Zhengchen on the bed and falling to the ground.
"Hmm!" The soles of Su Yuxi's feet slipped, and the unsteady soup in his hands spilled all over the customer's body.
"Didn't you say you would go to the store in the afternoon to buy ingredients? Where have you been? Faced with Jiang Yizhe's death question, the ice cream that Xu Zhengchen was licking in his mouth fell to the ground.
"I'm really sorry I didn't read what you ordered." Regarding the accusations of the guests' dissatisfaction, Xu Zhengchen apologized vigorously.
Every day the three of them get along is like a torrent of unknown life, and every moment, they are desperately swimming forward.
The three people who stayed up late to process and make flyers and posters, carefully calculated the daily turnover, and finally fell asleep on the table with the lamp on, are all working harder than yesterday to set sail for the future that should come.
"Welcome to the next time." Xu Zhengchen watched the last customer in the store leave, and then lay on the counter tiredly, "Whew, it's another tiring day." ”
"Good work."
"Where's Su Yuxi?"
"She's washing dishes in the kitchen." Jiang Yizhe seemed to see through Su Yuxi's thoughts, "Even if she can't hear the sound and her reaction will be half a beat slower than the surroundings, she still wants to do her best to help us." ”
"yes."
"As a boyfriend, shouldn't you show off your boyfriend power?"
"What a boyfriend, we're just in an ordinary relationship, and I'm ......"
"Alright, let's go." Jiang Yizhe pushed his back and encouraged.
Honk...... Honk......
Xu Zhengchen, who had just taken a step, suddenly received a phone call.
"Hello?"
"Hey, hello, is it Xu Zhengchen?" A female voice rose from the phone.
"It's me." Xu Zhengchen put away his scattered heart, and the expression on his face instantly added a little seriousness.
"That's, that's right, Jia Han just ran away from home in an awkward way, so I hope you can help persuade her."
Even if the two were separated by a mobile phone screen, Xu Zhengchen could vaguely hear that the woman on the phone was anxious between the lines.
"Lin Jiahan?" Xu Zhengchen pondered this unfamiliar name.
"Yes, Lin Jiahan."
Speaking of Lin Jiahan, I have to mention her relationship with Xu Zhengchen.
Xu Zhengchen once served as her tutor during the winter vacation, and the two often talked to each other after class to relax. But after this year's winter vacation, the two completely cut off contact.
According to the woman, Lin Jiahan suffered from school boredom before entering high school, and the physical and mental pressure caused her to be a little unable to think about it, and then counting the pressure she exerted on her all year round, the contradiction between the two sides would break out so intensely.
It just so happened that Lin Jiahan had a good impression of Xu Zhengchen. If Xu Zhengchen really persuaded her, maybe she could save this bad situation.
I haven't even done my job well, how can I have the spare time to meddle in other people's affairs? Xu Zhengchen, who was holding his mobile phone, asked secretly.
"Please."
"It's really troublesome......" After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhengchen subconsciously browsed the phone.
Come and stay with me.
The inbox of the mobile phone received this text message ten minutes ago, and the sender was Lin Jiahan himself.
And the most likely place Xu Zhengchen could think of for her was the nearby Qianxia Park.
I know I'm troublesome.
Wait, she's not really looking for a short time, is she?
This idiot.
A large number of images of something wrong flooded into his mind, and he gritted his teeth and unconsciously quickened his pace.
Asa Natsu Park.
"I'm here." The long-haired girl leaning on a lamppost beckoned to him.
The girl wearing a blue and white school uniform is Lin Jiahan, and her youthful face has not yet shed the childishness unique to her student days. At night, the light of the street lamp spreads on the girl's face, and a hazy sense of beauty is born.
"You run around like this, didn't you think your mother would worry about you?" The first thing Xu Zhengchen said when he saw her was to ask, "Besides, I'm still busy." ”
"Don't mention her, I'll be angry when I mention it."
"Don't mention that."
"It's hard to breathe, na, can you accompany me to the nearby mall?"
Xu Zhengchen's tone was resolute: "You can accompany you, but you have to promise me to go home immediately after shopping." ”
"Hmph, I knew you would say that." Lin Jiahan shook his head, with a look of disdain, "I won't go shopping." ”
“……”
Gollum ~ Gollum ~
Just when Xu Zhengchen was at a loss, an embarrassing sound of hungry stomach came from Lin Jiahan's body.
Xu Zhengchen quickly realized: "There are a lot of delicious food at the street stalls near the park, do you want to go and see them?" ”
"I really can't help you, then I'll watch it with you for a while......" Lin Jiahan's cheeks flushed.
"Boss, two pancakes."
"Okay."
"I find that when you're not angry, it's not very annoying."
"What are you talking about? This girl has always been very likable, right? Lin Jiahan said coquettishly.
