Chapter 53 After the Fact
When the first rays of sunlight shone on the signboard of the Xu family's pet store in the morning, Xu Xiaoyue had already opened the roller shutter.
Finally, I can't wait until the weekend, and I think the customers who didn't come to the door because they were closed for a long time will gradually come back.
In fact, the most important thing in the pet store is to do repeat business, as long as you buy a pet in a pet store, then those bits and pieces of pet utensils, pet food or something will not go elsewhere to buy.
And if the guests' classmates, colleagues and friends see their pets, some of them will be envious and expect the guests to introduce where the pets were bought?
After all, acquaintance introductions will be much more reliable.
Since the last rectification of the Xu family pet store due to health problems, the number of customers has plummeted, but familiar customers will still come to the door.
As for how to clear the stigma on the back of the pet store and greet new customers, this requires Xu Xiaoyue to think about it carefully.
Xu Xiaoyue opened very early these days.
After Xu Xiaoyue cleaned up the mess in the store, two little girls with fluffy hair walked in from the backyard and said with a smile: "Sister Xu, it's still so early, it's been a few days." ”
Xu Xiaoyue glanced at the two of them, and said with a smile: "Go wash and wash up, you are about to open a business and do business, what does it look like to be so sloppy!" ”
The girl smiled and walked out of the store again.
Xu Xiaoyue turned on the computer on the counter, and after the computer system made a familiar boot sound, the wind chimes at the door jingled.
Xu Xiaoyue was pleasantly surprised, could it be that there was business coming to the door so early, it was only about seven o'clock.
When I turned to look, it was a girl in a little black suit and knee-length little black dress, and she stood quietly when she walked in.
Xu Xiaoyue has seen this person.
Chu Menghan.
I remember that she also left a sum of money in the store for Huang Heng to help him buy the pet supplies he needed, but then there was no news.
Xu Xiaoyue looked at Chu Menghan's outfit, and muttered that this person was dressed so solemnly, was it mourning or something.
But his face didn't show it, he smiled lightly and stepped forward and said without humility or arrogance: "Miss Chu, we meet again, what do you need?" ”
Before, Xu Xiaoyue sat behind the counter and turned on the computer, Chu Menghan didn't find anyone in the store when she came in, and after hearing the greeting, she hurriedly turned her head and said, "Hello Sister Xu, I'll come over and have a brief look." ”
"How's your pet doing?"
Xu Xiaoyue greeted.
"I've been busy lately, and I usually ask my aunt to take care of her, but I take care of her when I'm free."
Chu Menghan seemed to be afraid that Xu Xiaoyue would blame herself, and she said her merits. But it seemed to have the opposite effect, and Chu Menghan keenly felt that Xu Xiaoyue's face was a little gloomy.
Maybe it's his own delusion, Chu Menghan sighed.
But it was not an illusion, Xu Xiaoyue asked Huang Heng later, and when she heard about the dinner, she didn't like Chu Menghan in the first place. I heard that Chu Menghan even took care of his own pet with someone else, it seems that he didn't really want that husky, it was just an excuse to get close to Huang Heng.
But Xu Xiaoyue didn't show it so obviously, when Chu Menghan looked at the things in the store, Xu Xiaoyue went to sort out the things on the shelves by herself.
The two were back to back.
"Is Huang Heng still working here?"
Chu Menghan suddenly asked.
"It's still there, just came back in the past few days."
Xu Xiaoyue adjusted the guest's messy pet food package to the correct position and said softly.
"Oh......" Chu Menghan turned around and said hello and left the store after getting what he wanted to know.
Xu Xiaoyue turned around and looked at the back of the girl leaving, not knowing what to feel in her heart.
After the girl in the backyard cleaned up, she also said hello to Xu Xiaoyue and left with a smile, after all, she was on duty all night, and she must have a good rest when she goes back.
Xu Xiaoyue thought about things, absentmindedly cleaned up, and listened to the ringing of wind chimes again.
"Did you forget something?"
Xu Xiaoyue asked, and when she turned to look, it was Huang Heng who staggered in.
His face was pale, and there were still water stains on his clothes that had not receded, and if he looked closely, the clothes were not the clothes that Huang Heng usually wore, and the pale green uniform seemed to be worn by seafarers.
"Why are you so embarrassed?"
Xu Xiaoyue hurriedly threw away the towel in her hand, walked over to support Huang Heng and asked.
"Sister Xu, I'm sorry for you."
Huang Heng said with a pale cheek, putting half of his body on Xu Xiaoyue's body. Xu Xiaoyue didn't say that Huang Heng's dirty clothes would stain her clothes, and directly took Huang Heng to the backyard.
"What's polite, it's not an outsider."
Xu Xiaoyue said, putting Huang Heng on the bed in the lounge, and there was a faint aroma of the two little girls lying on it.
"Sister Xu, go and see the store, I'll just rest, by the way, I still have the clothes I brought over last time."
"It's what you changed into in a suit, I've washed it, wait for me to get it."
Xu Xiaoyue said and walked out of the door, and after coming in for a while, she put the bag on the bed and turned to leave.
Huang Heng took a deep breath and sat up, and after struggling to change his clothes, he hid the seafarer's uniform under the bed and slammed himself on the bed.
Abnormal exhaustion.
After all, there was no rest all night, and after swimming for two hours by the way, he was already exhausted, so Huang Heng could only choose to go to the pet store closer to the port.
Fortunately, Xu Xiaoyue was the only one in the store.
Huang Heng carefully recalled what happened from last night to this morning, thinking about whether he had revealed anything.
So far, the only person who knows that he is on the ship is Liao Sheng. But Liao Sheng is a wanted criminal, so naturally it is impossible to report to the official.
Lin Zimo may be suspicious, it seems that he is going to talk to Lin Zimo.
Huang Heng held the mobile phone tightly in his hand and fell asleep groggyly.
……
When Huang Heng woke up again, he felt that something was moving on his face, raised his hand and patted it, and then whispered: "Don't make trouble, I'll sleep for a while." ”
The amplitude of the movement on his face became bigger and bigger, and Huang Heng sat up suddenly, causing the girl to scream in fright.
Huang Heng suddenly remembered that the nineteenth had already left, who was here now?
Rubbing his confused eyes, Huang Heng saw Huang Ziqi's surprised expression beside him.
Huang Heng said helplessly: "Why are you here?" ”
"It's already off work, Brother Huang, you've slept all day."
Huang Ziqi sat on a stool next to the bed.
Huang Heng turned over and sat up, and when the thin blanket covering his body was about to fall to the ground, Huang Ziqi quickly picked it up before landing on the ground, folded it and put it next to him.
Huang Heng picked up the mobile phone on the side of the pillow, and when he looked at the time, it was already around five o'clock in the afternoon.
"Sister Xiaoyue, let me call you to eat!"
Huang Ziqi said: "Really, I slept for a day. ”
Huang Heng sweated profusely, hurriedly got up, walked into the bathroom to wash his face, and disassembled the disposable toothbrush in the cabinet next to him to brush his teeth before walking out in good spirits.
When I walked out the back door to the store, the clerks were already sitting next to the sofa and eating dinner, Xu Xiaoyue saw Huang Heng coming over and said, "Hurry up, there is just a box of potato fried meat left." ”
Huang Heng walked over with an apologetic face and said, "Boss, I'm sorry, I slept for a day." ”
Xu Xiaoyue patted Huang Heng on the shoulder heavily: "What do you say, there is no salary today, it is deducted." ”
The other girls laughed out loud with gloating.
After Huang Heng took the box lunch, Xu Xiaoyue said: "By the way, someone called this afternoon to say that he was looking for you, called Wu Yue." ”
Huang Heng nodded, and after eating, he put away the lunch boxes thrown by several people on the table, put them in a plastic bag, and then said, "Sister Xu, I left in advance today." ”
Xu Xiaoyue said angrily: "Don't take it as an example, in the future, you will be fined three days' wages for such slacking off!" ”
Huang Heng hurriedly agreed and walked out.
After throwing the bag in the trash can at the door, Huang Heng picked up his mobile phone and asked, "What is Wu Dashao looking for me for?" ”
Wu Yue said on the other end of the phone: "There is something tonight, something important!" ”
Huang Heng hung up the phone and took a taxi to Longchun Garden, and when he arrived at the place, the door of the store was closed, and a sign saying that it was temporarily closed. When Huang Heng stepped forward to knock on the door, the door had already opened.
It's the long-haired and long-legged beauty Zhang Langlang.
She glanced at Huang Heng and said, "Why didn't you attend the regular meeting the day before yesterday?" ”
"Is there such a thing?" Huang Heng asked, he really didn't know.
"Yes, come in."
Zhang Langlang pulled Huang Heng's clothes and pulled Huang Heng in, and then deliberately observed everything outside with the crack in the door like a spy.
After seeing that there was no movement, he gently closed the door, and his face turned slightly red after seeing Huang Heng's expression with a smile.
"Cosplay?"
"Managing more ......"
Zhang Langlang retorted and walked towards the elevator.
Huang Heng thought that he couldn't see that this girl was still a little sick in the middle school, and then he thought about it carefully, and there were no normal people who participated in Wu Yue's opposition, so he stepped forward with relief.
After the elevator went up to the twelfth floor, the room was full.
When Huang Heng walked into the twelfth floor for the first time, there were five people inside, a sofa and a projector, and then a refrigerator and two chairs by the window, which seemed very simple.
But after walking in this time, the sofa was removed, and there were more than a dozen chairs inside, and a large number of people sat down like elementary school students to watch Wu Yue lecture in front of the projection.
Wu Yue was wearing a beige shirt and holding a metal rod in his hand, pointing to the floor plan of L City on the projection and saying something.
Huang Heng was dumbfounded, these people were really messy.
The opposition is truly worthy of its name.
After Wu Yue saw Huang Heng and Zhang Langlang walk in, he threw the metal rod in his hand to Lan Zihao, who was sitting in the first row, and walked over and asked, "Why are you so late?" ”
"Traffic jam." Zhang Langlang said casually.
"Same." Huang Heng said helplessly.
"Anyway, you had a great time last night."
Wu Yue said, pulling Huang Heng to the front of the refrigerator and saying, "What to drink?" ”
"Old rules, Sprite." Huang Heng said.
"You really shocked us last night, and you were still releasing your analysis data just now."
Wu Yue said to Huang Heng without hesitation, looking like he was very excited.
