139 Why bother (first update guaranteed)
"So, she just has something to attend to and left for a while?"
In a barbecue restaurant, Lao Tang and Chen Xu sat in an inner position, with only half a glass of beer left in front of them. After listening to his words, Old Tang asked.
Chen Xu shook his head, "WeChat is blocked, the phone is empty, I went to her company to find someone, and said that I had resigned." ”
"When she said she was leaving, I had already guessed that it would be like this, I was just, a little unwilling."
As he spoke, he picked up the cup, drank the rest of the beer, picked up the bottle, and filled it again, "Actually, I had already guessed that it would be like this, just like when she suddenly appeared, and when she left, it was the same surprise, without a single warning. ”
Old Tang raised his glass and touched him.
To be honest, he wasn't very worried in his heart, because Chen Xu didn't look very sad and sad. There is a clear difference from the last time we broke up.
"Then why don't you try to keep it?"
Chen Xu looked at the mug full of beer in his hand and said, "You don't know her, when she decides to do something, no one can make her change her mind." ”
"I believe that she must have her reasons for doing this."
"And she's sure to be able to make the best decisions for things. She has always been like this, for the sake of long-term interests, even if such a decision will hurt others and hurt herself, she will not hesitate to do it. ”
Chen Xu poured a glass of wine into his stomach and burped uncomfortably.
"I know it all. However, I couldn't accept it. Why did she make her own decisions? Why does she think that I can't face difficulties with her? Why did she say she wanted to be together, and she would leave when she said she wanted to leave? ”
The more he spoke, the more agitated he became, and with a bang, he slammed his glass the table.
Old Tang silently poured him full of wine, poured himself full, and asked, "Then what are you going to do in the future?" ”
"Earn money, make lots and lots of money. Then go to her, I want her to know that this relationship is up to me. I nodded before it began, I didn't say it was over, no one could separate us, including her. ”
Old Tang could see that he was a little drunk, and he said like he was drunk.
From Chen Xu's words, he could hear that the girl's background might be complicated. There are almost several versions of the bloody story.
Chen Xu also has deep feelings for her, she wants to leave, he doesn't even dare to ask, he is hating it now, hating his powerlessness.
He said that he had broken up, but what he wanted was to snatch her back one day.
However, I am afraid that even he knows that this is unlikely.
Old Tang could see that he was not particularly sad, perhaps, he had already prepared for the separation of the two.
This kind of thing is really incomprehensible.
We can only hope that time will heal all the wounds.
…………
The next day, Chen Xu and his previous boss, the girl who signed the contract yesterday, went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau together and changed the name on the business license.
They had already talked about it last night.
It can be seen that the girl is in a good mood, and it seems that she has succeeded in saving her friendship.
So, don't partner with your friends in business. He never thought of letting Old Tang get involved, because he cherished this friendship very much.
It took a morning to finish the matter and send the girl away, Chen Xu immediately went to find an advertising company and changed the sign of the noodle restaurant.
By the way, the lock of the gate was changed. It's not that I can't trust that girl, it's just that the heart of defense is indispensable.
Then, he bought a piece of red paper, wrote a job post, and pasted it at the door.
In the evening, the signboard was changed and the new locks were installed. Chen Xu closed the door and went to the supermarket to make purchases.
Before returning home for the Chinese New Year, plus the last month's salary he received, his savings once reached nearly 120,000. After returning home, he took 8,000 to his parents, bought new clothes and a necklace for Yang Jinxia, and in the end only 100,000 was left.
For this noodle restaurant, it cost 100,000. Now he has less than 1,000 yuan left in his bank card, and he has to open a noodle restaurant quickly so that he can have income.
After hesitating for a while, he still went to the previous 2003 noodle restaurant.
Standing in front of the door, he looked at the closed A4 paper pasted on the door, and there were many more words on it. They were all left by some customers, and the handwriting varied.
Some asked him where he was going, some asked him to come back quickly and open the door, and some threatened him with doxxing him if he didn't come back.
He was a little amused, and asked the owner of the barbecue stall next door for a pen and paper, wrote down the address of the new store, and pasted it on the door. And left.
…………
Early the next morning, Chen Xu posted a red paper with the words "Open Daji" at the door and pasted it at the door, and started the first day of business.
I don't know if it's because of the opening of the new store, there are not many customers in the morning, and he only did seven orders.
There were also a few people who came to apply, and some asked about the treatment, said to think about it, and left. Some of them proposed the treatment they wanted, and after Chen Xu heard it, he politely asked her to leave.
It's really not easy to recruit a suitable worker now.
Chen Xu sighed with emotion, before the Chinese New Year, when he was still in the company, he had more contact with the people in the store department. I heard them mention that even if it is a big supermarket, it is difficult to recruit the right people, mainly because the salary is getting higher and higher.
If you really can't do it, just increase your salary.
He thought.
When it was time for lunch, there were more customers, and it seemed that most of them were white-collar workers working nearby.
"Boss, I'm coming out to pick up the guests." Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice came from the door, Chen Xu poked his head out of the kitchen, and when he saw it, it was actually a previous old customer, Yanqing.
When he saw his acquaintance, he was very happy and said, "Why are you here?" ”
"Hehe, I saw the note you left last night, and I came." Yanqing laughed, only to find that there were still many customers in the store, so he lowered his voice and said, "I said boss, you finally figured it out, it's really gratifying." ”
Chen Xu smiled, "Sit down, what do you want to eat?" ”
"Is there a new product?"
"Not yet."
"Then a bowl of seafood noodles."
"Right away."
……
In the evening, Yanqing came again, this time with his girlfriend and a few other regular customers.
In order to thank them for their support, Chen Xu deliberately added more weight to them.
It was not until twelve o'clock in the evening that he closed the door. Counting the day's harvest, the turnover reached 900, and after deducting expenses such as rent, the profit was considerable.
Sure enough, location is so important for the restaurant industry. I think that when he opened the noodle restaurant in 2003, he lost a lot on the first day.
Next, Chen Xu lived the life of being the owner of a noodle restaurant.
Every morning the door opens at 7 o'clock, closes the door at 10 o'clock, goes out to buy groceries, and comes back at 11 o'clock to open the door.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the doors were closed again, and they opened again at five o'clock, and remained open until twelve o'clock in the evening.
This kind of day lasted for nearly a month, and with the spread of word of mouth, the noodle restaurant's business got better and better, and by the time of the noon rush, the eight tables in the store could not sit down. He was too busy to be alone, so he had to raise his salary a little more.
As a result, an aunt in her forties came to apply for a job on the same day, and after listening to the salary, she said that she could accept it. When Chen Xu heard this, he didn't even ask her about the specific situation, and asked her to come to work tomorrow.
After recruiting for a month, finally someone was willing to come here to work, and he felt that it was better not to be too picky.
A few days later, Chen Xu felt that he had really recruited the right person, Aunt Zhou usually didn't talk much, and she worked very neatly. There are many things that he doesn't need to say, she has already taken the initiative to do them, such as cleaning, washing dishes, washing vegetables, and doing it quickly and well.
…………
"Chen Xu." Lao Tang walked into the noodle restaurant with his wife, and when he saw that it was almost full, he said hello to Chen Xu in the kitchen and said, "Business is good." ”
It's already past nine o'clock in the evening, dinner time has long passed, and there are still so many people in the noodle restaurant, which proves that the business is really good.
Chen Xu looked up, waved his hand, and said, "Sister-in-law, you're here too, you sit first." Aunt Zhou, please clean up the table inside. ”
"Chen Xu, long time no see." Old Tang's wife held her daughter in her arms and said hello politely.
Chen Xu asked again, "Do you want to eat something?" ”
Old Tang said, "No, we have already eaten, come out to buy something, just pass by here, and bring her over to sit." It's okay, you're busy with yours. ”
After a while, Chen Xu finally finished his work, washed his hands, took off his apron, poured water for Lao Tang and them, and said, "I'm sorry, the place is small, and there is no place to entertain you." ”
Old Tang said it didn't matter.
He asked again, "I see the business hours posted on your door, you stay open until 1 a.m. at night?" ”
"Well, there are too many night owls over here. I used to close the store at 12 o'clock, and every time I closed the door, people kept coming to pack, often delaying me for half an hour, and simply opening a little later. ”
Old Tang knows that it is very hard to make catering, and now Chen Xu is equivalent to making breakfast, lunch, dinner, and supper. There is only one aunt in the noodle restaurant to help, and Chen Xu can sleep for a few hours a day, which is simply desperate.
He couldn't help but persuade, "Why do you have to work so hard? Isn't business doing well in the store right now? ”
Chen Xu smiled, "After getting used to it, I don't feel hard." While you are still young, if you don't fight, when you get old, you won't be able to fight. ”
Old Tang looked at him, knew that he couldn't persuade him, changed the topic, and said, "Today, Mr. Luo asked me about your current situation. ”
Mr. Luo?
Chen Xu was slightly stunned, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Old Tang looked at him and said, "I think she cares about you, do you want to see her?" ”
"Now, I just want to make money." Chen Xu shook his head.
Old Tang didn't persuade him again, and after sitting for a while, seeing that he was so busy, he didn't want to disturb him, so he left with his wife.
A few hours later, Chen Xu saw that the time was almost up, closed the door, took a shower, and lay down on the bed.
He has already quit the house he rented and lives on the mezzanine above the noodle shop.
He woke up the virtual dream device, and in his field of vision, the familiar interface appeared, and he glanced at the countdown of the mission, and there were still twenty hours.
Half a year has finally passed, and there is less than one day left to be able to start the third dream.
In the previous two dreams, he had the idea of experiencing a different life.
This time is different, he hopes to get a greater harvest in the dream.
What kind of world will the third dream be like?
Such a thought flashed in his heart, and he soon fell asleep.
PS: The next chapter is before ten o'clock in the evening.
