Chapter 291: Protection or Scare?
It was busy and soon came to May Day, and on May Day, she moved, and then the hot pot restaurant opened.
Everything was moved in before the move, and the pot was moved over on the same day.
The opening of the hotel is the day when she is looking for someone to calculate, and she wants to make a fortune in doing business.
Because the hotel is very large, the decoration is very novel, and there are three days of opening promotions and one month of promotion, so there are still a lot of people on the opening day.
Whether it is Gao Jianjun or Qi Mingshu, they don't understand eating hot pot on this hot day, but when they turn on the air conditioner and still eat sweaty, they are all addicted.
"It's just too spicy, my lips are swollen." Qi Mingshu hissed and said.
In the past, there was only copper hot pot mutton shabu, and there are two kinds of hot pot in her shop, one is old Kyoto copper hot pot and one is Sichuan hot pot. Of course, everyone has to try something they haven't seen before, and then this Sichuan-style hot pot is on fire.
Gao Jianjun said: "It's delicious, tomorrow I will invite those people from our unit to come over and eat." ”
Lin Xiaoman leaned at him: "Yes, but you have to pay money." Of course, you can get a discount. ”
In this hotel, Qi Mingshu also mixed a share in the end, just like when she opened the company, she only mixed shares and did not operate, Qi Mingshu did not have many shares, and only dividends.
Gao Jianjun came over to eat hot pot with more than a dozen people from the unit, and happened to run into Yu Hua and a middle-aged man.
Seeing him, Yu Hua was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Lin Xiaoman again, her face darkened suddenly, but that kind of discomfort was fleeting, and she said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that this hotel was opened by Xiaoman?" You are really capable, I have never eaten this hot pot before, I heard my dad say that it is Sichuan-flavored...... By the way, let me introduce you to this, this is ...... Friend, he is the deputy director in the unit. ”
Yu Hua was not such a superficial person before, but in the past year or so, he has earned more money and become impetuous......
Lin Xiaoman thought to himself, smiling at the man and nodding.
However, Yu Hua has a boyfriend? This is good news, at least she won't be staring at Gao Jianjun.
Yu Hua didn't seem to want to say more, so she sat down after introducing two sentences, but she obviously didn't want to let go of Lin Xiaoman easily, she smiled and said to Lin Xiaoman: "Let's support you, should you personally order food for us and have a drink with us?" ”
Lin Xiaoman said with a smile: "We have special personnel to order food, as for having a drink, we used to be partners, it's not impossible, I just wish you all the best." She gestured to the man.
Yu Hua was a little embarrassed, but she refused to show weakness in front of Lin Xiaoman, "That's natural." ”
She sat down, and her friend smiled and asked, "Your former partner?" Is she capable of opening such a big hotel? ”
Yu Hua said lightly: "She withdrew the company's shares and got a lot of money. ”
She didn't say anything more, and her friend didn't ask more.
In the next few days, there have been a lot of people who come to eat, because the hotel is not far from home, if Gao Jianjun comes back, she will come to the hotel to pick her up, and if she comes back late, she will go back by herself.
At this time, you don't want to eat two or three yos, and it usually ends at nine o'clock at the latest.
Gao Jianjun was on a business trip, and she went home for two nights in a row as if someone was following her, but when she looked back, she couldn't see anyone. Fortunately, in the past two days, the hotel closed early, and on the way back, there were still many pedestrians, she thought, maybe she felt it in her heart.
But she thought it would be safer, and on the third day, on the way home, she carried a dagger in her bag. First, it was not a good feeling to be followed two days ago, and then there was a table of guests who ate late today, and when they left, they cleaned up and cleaned up, and it was already half past ten when the door closed.
Sure enough, halfway through, she felt someone following behind her again, she glanced back, shook it with a flashlight, and then turned around and ran desperately, who knows, someone behind her shouted: "Xiaolin, don't run, don't be afraid, it's me!" ”
Wang Jianhua?
Lin Xiaoman stopped, after running for such a short distance, she was a little tired and couldn't get up, she looked back, and sure enough, she saw that it was Wang Jianhua who caught up behind her.
"Xiaolin, don't be afraid, it's me."
Lin Xiaoman put one hand on the bag, and still asked with some vigilance: "Why are you?" What are you doing with me? I wonder if this big night will scare people to death? ”
Wang Jianhua smiled bitterly: "Didn't Jianjun go on a business trip, he asked me to escort you home at night, I'm afraid that you won't be able to go home too late." ”
Lin Xiaoman was stunned, Gao Jianjun was in a hurry, and only called the hotel and told him that he was going on a business trip, but the rest did not say.
"Then why are you sneaking around?"
Wang Jianhua said with some embarrassment: "I'll think about quietly sending you away, and I won't let you know......" Who would have thought that she would treat him as a bad person.
Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but ask: "Then you followed me yesterday and the day before yesterday?" ”
"yes."
Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but stroke his forehead, are you protecting me or scaring me?
In fact, Wang Jianhua was afraid of being bumped into, so the lonely men and widows walked together at night, and it was not good for them to spread the word.
However, he didn't tell Lin Xiaoman in advance, it's no wonder if she was afraid when she saw someone stalking!
"I thought I was being targeted by the bad guys? Today I have all the knives in my bag. Lin Xiaoman patted his bag, and he didn't know what purpose he said it.
Perhaps, in her subconscious, she was still a little wary of Wang Jianhua who appeared in the middle of the night.
Wang Jianhua apologized again and again: "I didn't expect it, what is it, I'll send you back!" It was also quite embarrassing for him, the protector, to be regarded as a bad person, so he quickly changed the topic and said.
Not far further on, she arrived at the community where she lived, Wang Jianhua sent her to the door of the building, "You go upstairs first, I'll wait for you to turn on the lights before leaving." ”
Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but say, "You've been like this for the past few days?" See if I turned on the lights before leaving? ”
Wang Jianhua smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is what I should do, you don't have to be polite......"
Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but ask: "You haven't thought about it, what if there are bad people hiding in the corridor?" What if I'm taken hostage into the house? ”
Wang Jianhua was stunned for a moment, and then a cold sweat of fear oozed from the corner of his forehead, "What, I was careless, I'll send you upstairs!" ”
Lin Xiaoman was also polite, he didn't come back too late before, but today it was too late, and she really scared him before.
No one expected that at such a late hour, there were indeed people in the corridor, a man wearing a peaked cap was standing in the corner of the first floor, Lin Xiaoman walked in front and saw people at first glance, and was startled, but the man raised his eyes and glanced at them, and leaned against the wall with his arms motionless.
Wang Jianhua frowned slightly, walked up to him and asked, "What are you doing?" What are you doing here at such a late hour? ”
"You care ......" The man's tone was not very good, but when he heard Wang Jianhua say that he was a policeman, he paused and said reluctantly: "I am from 201 on the second floor, and my daughter-in-law will not let me in when I come back." ”
Lin Xiaoman had already walked to the second floor, and he was speechless when he heard this. You're stuck in the hallway if you don't let you in? It's scary in the middle of the night, do you know?
Wang Jianhua obviously thought of this and criticized him a few words, so he walked a few steps quickly and caught up with Lin Xiaoman, "Do you know him?" Say it's 201? ”
"I've just moved here for a month, and I'm busy with the hotel every day, and I don't know anyone. But I've met that girl twice, a little daughter-in-law in her twenties, and I can often hear quarrels in the middle of the night. ”
Wang Jianhua glanced back and shook his head, "Now it's young!" ”
Lin Xiaoman entered the house, "Thank you, if you send me tomorrow, go with me, don't do this, if I have a bad heart, I can scare out a heart attack." ”
Wang Jianhua also felt embarrassed, "Okay, I'll go directly to the hotel tomorrow." ”
Lin Xiaoman said: "It's a big night, then I won't invite you to come in and sit." ”
Wang Jianhua said: "You close the door, lock the door and I'll leave." ”
Lin Xiaoman was not polite to him, closed the door, and locked the door from the inside, which was a sigh of relief.
Tonight, she was really taken aback by Wang Jianhua.
She went over and poured a cup of hot water, took the cup to the window, and saw Wang Jianhua go downstairs, looking left and right before leaving.
She took a sip of hot water slowly, feeling a little panicked, and her pounding heart felt much better.
The next morning, before she went to the hotel, she passed by the second floor, hesitated for a while, and knocked lightly on the door.
The little daughter-in-law of this family is also twenty-one or twelve years old, and she opened the door impatiently, and was stunned for a moment when she saw her, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"I live upstairs." She introduced herself and then asked, "Sorry to interrupt." I want to ask, I came back late last night, and I saw a young man in the hallway, saying that he was your lover, I want to ask, right? I'm afraid it's a foreign ......."
Her words were quite straightforward, and the woman understood as soon as she heard it, "What time is it?" ”
"About half-past eleven, wearing a black cap and a black jacket. Said it was 201, and my daughter-in-law didn't let me in when I came back late......"
"It's not my family, I let him stand outside for a while at half past eight when he got home, but I let him in at about nine o'clock. He hasn't been out since. "The little daughter-in-law is quick to talk," she said, "and she took a few steps into the house, and soon came out with a man in her hand, "this is my husband, surely he was not what you saw last night?" ”
The man in front of him, about twenty-three or fourteen years old, was slightly chubby, and at first glance he was not the man he had been last night.
Lin Xiaoman broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.
She muttered, "It's not him. However, he said that he had a nose and eyes, and said that you would not let him enter the house when he came back late. Someone who knows you well......"
As soon as she said this, the husband and wife's faces also changed.
The wife looked at her husband and said, "Who could that be?" ”
"I don't know. I'll just say can you stop this old routine and see, and be known, right? ”
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Lin Xiaoman hurriedly said: "I don't know who it is, but everyone should be careful if they come back late in the future." ”
The little daughter-in-law said, "Yes, yes, what, if you come back late, I'll help you turn on the door light!" ”
Lin Xiaoman hurriedly said: "Then thank you, otherwise, I will trouble you to turn on the door lights at night in the future, and then I will pay ten yuan a month for electricity, do you think it will work?" ”
"No, how can you use ten ......" The little daughter-in-law's words were not finished, and the man said: "That's okay, this is also a mutually beneficial thing, and our door light will be turned on at night in the future." ”
Lin Xiaoman looked at people simply, and she also took out ten yuan and said with a smile: "This is this month, and I will trouble you in the future." ”
When she arrived at the hotel, she thought about it and felt that this would not work, so she simply said to the two male staff of the hotel, please send yourself home every night and give them a salary of 100 yuan every month.
One hundred yuan is really a lot, and many units only open more than 200 yuan a month, so the two of them happily agreed.
Lin Xiaoman still carried the dagger in his bag, and he was a little worried all day, until the evening, when Wang Jianhua came over, and there was a colleague with him.
"When I went downstairs yesterday, the man was gone, and I didn't hear the door open and close, so I suspect the man is not a resident on the second floor. Today I asked the police to go over and ask, and sure enough, it wasn't that person. ”
Lin Xiaoman was stunned, she didn't expect Wang Jianhua to be so responsible, so she told him what she had also asked, "I found two young men in the store to send me at night, and I was paid an extra hundred yuan a month." That way, you don't have to go all the way to see me off in the future. ”
Wang Jianhua nodded, "That's fine." Jianjun and I are not sure of our work, we will work overtime when we say we will work overtime, and we will go on a business trip when we say we are on a business trip, so that it can be safer. Still, we're going to send you today. ”
He and Lin Xiaoman actually had some doubts in their hearts, that person just happened yesterday? Or are you waiting there to rob Lin Xiaoman?
There is an essential difference.
However, Wang Jianhua did not mention this suspicion for fear of scaring Lin Xiaoman. And Lin Xiaoman is only suspicious, and it is difficult for Wang Jianhua to say it.
The night was uneventful.
In the morning, before she could wake up, there was a knock at the door, and she sat up with a flutter, and went down to the foyer, looking out through the cat's eyes.
It's Gao Jianjun!
She breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door, as soon as Gao Jianjun came in, she jumped and pounced on him, "Why did you come back?" If you don't come back, you won't see me. ”
The voice was so sweet that it startled her.
Her face flushed.
Gao Jianjun hugged her with a smile on his face and threw her shoes out, and strode inside, "I miss you too." ”
Lin Xiaoman wanted to say, I didn't mean that, but she didn't have time to say it.
When Gao Jianjun heard her say what happened the night before yesterday, he also broke out in a cold sweat, "Fortunately, I asked Jianhua to help send you home, otherwise what if something really happened?" ”
He hugged her tightly in his arms with some trepidation, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Lin Xiaoman stayed quietly in his arms, and after a while to see that his mood calmed down, he pushed him away and said, "What else do you say, Wang Jianhua doesn't know what to think, send me back to me secretly, I thought it was broken......
After she finished speaking, Gao Jianjun was stupid, he shook his head and said funny: "This person, this, this must be afraid of people looking at gossip!" ”
