Chapter XXXIV Partnership
"This ...... This ......"
I want to ask Liu Rumei what is going on with this photo and who is the person on it. Probably because I was too surprised, I couldn't organize a complete sentence at all times.
Liu Rumei understood what I was going to ask, but she didn't answer, just looked at the necklace quietly.
I calmed down a bit, and then said, "Xiaoyanagi, you have to at least tell me who is up there, right?" ”
Liu Rumei shook her head, and then she reached out and took the necklace from my hand and put it around her neck again. It seems that this thing is still very important to her, but who will be the person in the photo?
I'm sure I've never taken a photo like this, and it looks old. So, who will be that person who looks like me? I suddenly remembered my father and my grandfather, who I had seen when I was younger, and they looked just like me now. Could it be that one of them owes a romantic debt outside? I'm still thinking about it, and I hope that Liu Rumei can give me a definite answer, but she doesn't seem to be planning to tell me.
"Xiaoyanagi, let's talk about the necklace, otherwise I still won't be able to listen to you." I say.
Liu Rumei was no longer serious at this time, and said with a sly smile: "We have already said before, and we have to listen to me after reading it." ”
That's exactly what I said, and I did nod my head in agreement, but why do I feel like I've been cheated? I can't do this kind of thing by regretting it, but I can't really get caught. I thought about it for a moment and said, "This...... Pick up what you can say and tell me, at least...... At least I'm your man now. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I was depressed first, how could I feel so awkward.
"My people ......" Liu Rumei completely ignored my embarrassment, and smiled to herself. She smiled and said: "I'm definitely a good boss, I won't lose my own people, I also know what you want to ask, that's what I've always wanted to figure out, so it's not that I don't tell you, but I don't know it myself." ”
"You don't know?" I was somewhat surprised by her answer, and I asked, "Then you at least know the origin of the photos in this chain, right?" ”
Liu Rumei didn't speak, smiling and shaking her head.
"I don't know?" I frowned, and then asked, "At least you know where the necklace came from, right?" ”
Liu Rumei still didn't answer, and then shook her head.
I was depressed again, and complained casually: "Don't tell me anything, this is completely not treating me as your own." ”
"How can you?" Liu Rumei heard me say this, so she took over and said, "I don't know if I said it, could I make up a nonsense to tell you on the spot?" ”
"And what do you know?"
Liu Rumei thought about it for a while, and said: "This is really not something that can be explained in one or two sentences, I can only tell you now that we are our own people." ”
“……”
I was speechless, even a little frustrated, I didn't expect it to be so hard to chat.
"Tell me what I know." Liu Rumei continued: "I have been wearing this pendant since I was a child, but when I saw the photos inside, it was only a recent occasion. ”
"Wearing it since childhood?" Listening to this meaning, my previous guess seems to be more reliable, is it really the love debt caused by one of the two old people when he was young, and now the retribution has come to me?
"Yes." Liu Rumei nodded: "I've been wearing it since I was a child." ”
"What do we ......" I wanted to say that we were brothers and sisters, but it didn't seem appropriate to think about it, so I swallowed the words back to my mouth.
"Let's be right...... Liu Rumei smiled again and said, "You are my person now......"
I was depressed, I already had an answer in my heart, but I always felt that something was still weird, and I was even more embarrassed to ask more about the things of my previous life. I thought to myself, forget it, anyway, I am also a jobless now, and I have the right to find a job, and other things can only be taken one step at a time, and take my time.
Liu Rumei saw that I didn't speak, cleared her throat again, and said, "Manager Qin, this store will be handed over to you, as for when to recruit and when to open, you can make your own decisions." ”
The corners of my mouth twitched, thinking that I had been arranged by this little girl so quickly, and I always felt that I should resist somewhat. I hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's okay for me to take this store, but I don't get paid if I don't work as an employee, what do you think about our cooperation?" ”
Liu Rumei heard that I was going to put forward conditions, and asked with a smile: "Tell me what kind of cooperation method you want?" ”
I thought for a while and said, "I will return the 200,000 yuan to you before, which is my investment, you calculate the rent and other expenses here, and we will share the dividends proportionally." ”
"That's it......" Liu Rumei groaned for a while, and said: "Don't return the money, the cost accounting is too troublesome, you come over to calculate the technology shares, and then we will split the account five or five times, what do you think?" ”
I continued to struggle: "This is a great loss for you, let's divide the account with twenty-eight, I will ...... you and you."
Liu Rumei saw that I was still entangled, and said with a small face: "Don't bargain anymore, I've already decided, so I'll open it five-five." ”
"Five-five is not suitable, or two-eight is ......"
"Twenty-eight is fine." Liu Rumei said seriously: "I'm two and you're eight." ”
I shook my head and said, "That's even worse." ”
"If you know it's not going to work, listen to me, five or five."
I saw that she was resolute, so I nodded reluctantly.
"Nodding your head so reluctantly, as if I'm going to trick you."
I was a little speechless and whispered, "You have suffered a loss......"
"What is not a loss, a win-win partnership." Liu Rumei smiled and said, "Let's go, take you to a place to celebrate." ”
I had the heart to refuse, but I had already received so many benefits from others, and I felt embarrassed, so I simply agreed to her.
……
There is a food stall in the pedestrian street, and there are not many customers because it is not a meal.
"That's it." Liu Rumei said that she had already picked an empty seat and sat down.
"Dessert station?" I looked at the signboard and sat down as I spoke. I'm not averse to desserts, but I'm alone, and I'm always fed dog food when I go to a dessert station alone, so it's almost forbidden to go to such places, so I hardly take care of a dessert station or anything like that.
"What would you like to eat...... Liu Rumei did not ask for my opinion, but looked through the menu of the merchant by herself.
"You are free, I can do anything......" Whether she asked or not, I was still symbolically polite.
"Okay then...... Boss, two red bean paste, two glasses of lemon ice ......"
"Okay...... Oh, Mr. Liu, why don't you greet me when you come. The owner of the dessert station had been keeping his head down and was busy just now, and he didn't raise his head until Liu Rumei ordered, and hurriedly greeted Liu Rumei. Liu Rumei just said a few polite words to the shopkeeper, and then got up and went to the bathroom.
"Hey...... Boss, I want to ask you something. "I stopped the owner of the dessert station as he passed by.
"Oh, Mr. Liu, hello, if you want to ask anything, just ask." The owner said very politely.
"I just want to inquire about Mr. Liu."
When the shopkeeper heard me say this, he looked at me with a surprised expression and asked, "Aren't you a friend of Mr. Liu?" ”
I also felt that my question was abrupt, so I quickly added: "It's a friend, I just came here from out of town, and I'm just curious why the owner of every store is very familiar with her." ”
"That's right." The shopkeeper looked at me with a smile and said, "Can you not be familiar, this piece is hers." ”
"What?" I didn't understand and asked, "What is this?" ”
The boss saw that I didn't understand, so he pointed east along the pedestrian street with his hand and said, "Look at the east side, it belongs to Lao Liu's family." ”
I was surprised.
The boss seemed to be quite impressed by my expression, smiled and pointed west along the pedestrian street with his hand, and said, "Look at the west again, it's still Lao Liu's family." ”
I continue to be amazed.
The boss looked at me speechless in surprise, shook his head, and left with a smile. I thought that Liu Rumei's family would be very rich, but I never expected that the entire street would belong to her family.
"What are you doing?" Liu Rumei came back and asked curiously.
"Oh." I came back to my senses and said, "It's okay, I'm just curious why the shopkeeper here knows you." ”
"This ah......" Liu Rumei smiled, pointed to an office building next to the pedestrian street and said: "I go to work on the upper floor here, and I wander around the pedestrian street every day, and I am naturally familiar with each other." ”
I listened to her speak so low-key, so I nodded noncommittally. But I still couldn't help but complain in my heart: "The street is your home, and eighty percent of the building is also your home." ”
The desserts were quickly served, and Liu Rumei and I chatted while eating, chatting about the affairs of the archaeological team. I'm still curious about what kind of operation she is doing when she is working here and taking an intern errand over there. Liu Rumei replied very happily, it turned out that things were not as complicated as I thought.
Liu Rumei majored in archaeology in college, and did not immediately participate in archaeological work after graduation, but has been helping her family to take care of the business until she was approached by Uncle Zhou some time ago. People who don't study archaeology may not understand why a bureau chief would personally go down to recruit people. The main reason for this is that there are too few people who study archaeology, and even fewer of them have top-notch grades, and it is estimated that Uncle Zhou does not want to miss a good seedling, so he found Liu Rumei. When I was in Xi'an, my previous teacher would also help the Cultural Relics Bureau to connect with me, but I was busy opening a small shop and never agreed.
Thinking of this, I still sigh a little. Look at the little girl, for the sake of archaeological work, such a big deal has been abandoned, and then look at my own consciousness is too different.
Just when Liu Rumei and I were chatting, her mobile phone rang. She picked it up and hung up after a few simple words, and then said to me, "I've found a house to live in, why don't you go and have a look?" ”
"So fast?" I was a little surprised at how efficient she was.
"It's right within the company's business scope, of course it's fast." Liu Rumei smiled and said, "There is a community behind here, it's a five-minute walk, let's walk over." ”
