Wen Lulu kept looking at Shao Ting with strange eyes, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shao Ting touched his face and asked in astonishment, "Is there something on your face?" ”

"Let me ask you a question?" Wen Lulu still laughed and made people panic, but Shao Ting, who was half a beat slow to react, didn't feel weird.

Nodding stunnedly, his eyes fell on Wen Lulu's face, which was constantly approaching, looking at her delicate face, he felt his steady heartbeat slowly accelerate, and his body involuntarily took a step back.

"You know you're handsome, right?"

The questioning became more and more ill-intentioned, and even if he was as dull as Shao Ting, he knew that Wen Lulu had other thoughts.

“……”

"What do you mean you don't speak?" Wen Lulu laughed again.

"I don't know."

Shao Ting shook his head, a cramped light flashed in his eyes hidden behind his glasses.

"yes, then I'll tell you now, you're really handsome, so can you grant me a request?"

"Ahem!" The panicked Shao Ting coughed violently, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Wen Lulu's eyes, and stammered and replied, "Can I think about it?" ”

"I haven't said yet, what are you thinking about!" Wen Lulu couldn't understand what he was afraid of now, and the blush on his fair cheeks that were blocked by the huge frames of his glasses.

Everything proves that this guy doesn't know what comes to mind in his head.

Wen Lulu's face couldn't help but turn red, she had been single for twenty-three years, although she had never talked about anyone, but she knew a lot about it.

The atmosphere became awkward for a while, and Shao Ting, who was not good at words, simply carried her on the counter with her on his back, his face flushed.

Wen Lulu cleared her throat and quickly pulled back the strange atmosphere, "I mean, your suggestion is very good, so I'm going to make a partition at the convenience store to buy a cake, and I want you to help buy it." ”

As soon as these words came out, Shao Ting realized that he had made a big fuss, and he was immediately even more embarrassed.

"So? I'm a clerk now, so the manager naturally has to obey my arrangement. Shao Ting was still very embarrassed, and his eyes dodged not to look at Wen Lulu.

"Then I'll say yes, because there is no other labor force in the store, so you have to do the moving goods on weekdays, and I will give you a raise!"

Wen Lulu, who successfully achieved her goal, cheered in her heart, she had not been in such a relaxed and happy mood for a long time, as if the dark clouds that had shrouded her head for a year had dispersed in an instant, and the road to the future was also paved with flowers and full of sunshine to welcome her.

Shao Ting secretly glanced at her shining little face, only to feel that her pounding heart suddenly beat more cheerfully.

Wen Lulu is a man of action, he had just made a plan the day before, and the next day he found workers, ready to make a difference in the relatively spacious store to show his skills.

Shao Ting didn't seem to sleep well at night, and he seemed a little out of energy all morning, but he still completed his task very quickly.

"Sister, what are you doing here?" Wen Zhenzhen, who was woken up early in the morning by the sound of tinkling, ran out of the yard and looked at the messy store and asked suspiciously.

The excited Wen Lulu took her hand and looked into the child's eyes earnestly, "Hasn't Zhen Zhen always missed her father's cake shop?" Later, my sister will move it to a convenience store! ”

"Really?" Wen Zhenzhen's eyes lit up, and her tone was much higher, Shao Ting's eyes on the side deepened, and he could feel the same excitement and emotion on these two people.

It seems that this cake shop means a lot to them.

After two full days of busy work, the convenience store, which originally had an outdated taste, entrusted the blessing of the cake shop, and was renovated with the efforts of Shao Ting.

The cake shop cubicle, which is not big enough to put the display case, is facing the street, because the problem of space does not have a door, but opens the wall, so that customers outside can clearly see the two display cases side by side.

Wen Lulu stood on the street, looked at his design with satisfaction, and introduced Shao Ting with some pride, "In the future, I will make the cake in the backyard, and you only need to be responsible for sales." ”

"What about the store?" Shao Ting pointed to the door of the convenience store, if he stayed here, there would be no one to take care of it.

"I'll just come." Wen Lulu was confident, and looked back at Shao Tingdao, "It may be hard for you during this time, one person does the work of two people, and after a while, when the store has enough funds, I will hire someone else immediately." ”

Shao Ting didn't speak, shook his head and said that he could do a good job of two people, he couldn't bear to discourage her enthusiasm, and he couldn't bear to tell her that the current situation was not good.

The food poisoning that occurred at the convenience store a year ago almost made customers within a radius of 100 miles feel uneasy, not to mention that they were forced to pay debts by the underworld every once in a while.

He was also outspoken yesterday, and gave her ideas without understanding the situation.

However, things may not be without a turn for the better, and the fact that convenience stores can still hold on shows that there is still hope, and selling cakes may be a new way out.

Two days have passed since I entered, and there were suddenly a few more customers in the calm store, who walked in curiously, looked at Shao Ting who was sitting in the cash register and asked, "Is this a replacement?" ”

"Welcome." Shao Ting lifted his glasses and looked up at a middle-aged couple who came over hesitantly, "I'm a new clerk, and the boss hasn't changed, do you need something?" ”

Shao Ting's gentle and harmless appearance made the couple relax their vigilance, and asked again as if they were talking: "Didn't there be a lot of underworld here before?" It seems to be a lot quieter these days. ”

"It will always be quiet in the future, and you can come and buy things with confidence." Shao Ting's eyes flashed, thinking that this was a good opportunity to advertise the convenience store, and quickly introduced it with a smile.

"After a while, the store will sell cakes and bread and the like, and when it opens, there will be discounts, so you can come by then."

"Cake?" After hearing this, the woman, who had been silent, suddenly frowned and looked at him with disgust, "The food poisoning incident was so big a year ago, who would dare to buy your things, and the rest is okay, after all, you are just a dealer, and you do it yourself...... Forget it. ”

"What are you talking about...... The man's face also changed, and he slapped the back of the woman's hand to signal her to shut up, pulled the corners of her mouth at Shao Ting embarrassedly, said sorry and left the store quickly.

Shao Ting was a little frustrated, watching the couple push the door out, but they couldn't do anything, and with a long sigh, he continued to look down at the plan he had written.

After thinking about it, I tore it off and crumpled it up and threw it in the trash.

"They took care of our family's business a year ago." Wen Lulu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Shao Ting's hand trembled, and he quickly covered what he had written.

However, Wen Lulu didn't notice his movements, and looked in the direction of the door with sad eyes.

"It's okay, it'll get better." Shao Ting stood up and looked condescendingly at her somewhat messy hair, "Isn't it getting better now?" ”

Shao Ting could only persuade her like this, reputation and reputation cannot be changed overnight, the establishment of a good reputation requires daily efforts, but it is extremely easy to destroy it.

He'd been here for almost a week, and at first he was surprised that there were few people in the store all day, and then for the next few days his daily job was to remove expired food from the shelves and put new ones on.

People who often pass by on the street talk about food poisoning here, but every time they get to the door, they still talk about it, and then tell the people around them seriously, "If you want to live, don't come here to buy things." ”

He knew about food poisoning from passers-by, various versions, it was miraculous, but the miraculous thing was that he felt it was fake from the beginning.

Wen Lulu is very grateful for his trust from the bottom of her heart, but in the face of such a situation, she also feels very powerless.

"We're going to make it." Shao Ting looked at the dejected Wen Lulu, plucked up the courage to pat her on the shoulder and encouraged her: "There have been more customers in the past two days, so don't be discouraged, the situation is slowly getting better, isn't it?" ”

"Thank you." Wen Lulu turned her head, her eyes flashing with tears looked at Shao Ting sincerely, and looked at his eyes through some unclear lenses, "You really gave me a lot of strength. ”

She has rarely cried since the death of her parents, and every time she looks at the young and sensible Zhen Zhen, she can't shed a single tear.

The burden on her shoulders is too heavy, and she's a natural person who doesn't want to admit defeat. No one came to the store, it didn't matter, she ran out to advertise, found the industrial and commercial department for certification, and almost tried all kinds of methods.

Every day she was forced to run away by loan sharks, chased to school and threatened, and her home was splashed with paint and smashed, she never shed a single tear.

But today, because there was a stranger beside her who was willing to help her and work with her, she suddenly had a sore nose.

"How are you ready?" Shao Ting shyly changed the subject and pointed to the courtyard behind.

Wen Lulu hung her head in frustration, "I guess I'll have to wait a little longer, and the machines are too expensive now." ”

To put it bluntly, there is no money.

Shao Ting was stunned, but she didn't expect that what she was worried about was the problem of money.

"Shall I lend it to you?" He remembered that he had always had a card, but he had never touched it.

"No, you're here to work, how can I, as the boss, take your money?" Wen Lulu was a little surprised, "And the machine is not cheap." ”

Let's wait until the convenience store earns a little more.

"You wait." Shao Ting interrupted her, walked out of the cash register and walked quickly to the place where he was resting, and rummaged through it to find the card that he had forgotten.

Looking at Shao Ting who trotted back again, Wen Lulu rekindled hope, perhaps, Shao Ting can really save her from the current desperate situation?
