At the beginning of '98, Shao Cong began to get busy, first transferring all his business in the county to Kyoto, and then opening up some markets in the south, until Jiaxin's accident, he was running back and forth all over the country. So there is very little time to meet Jiaxin, but the relationship between the two has not been affected, no matter where Shao Cong goes, he will call Jiaxin to report her safety as soon as possible, and he will call her in advance before returning to Kyoto.

The reason why he worked so hard was to be able to realize his wish to marry Jiaxin in two thousand years.

For so many years, he has regarded Jiaxin as a part of his life, so he wants his pace to be able to keep up with Jiaxin, and he also hopes that he can give Jiaxin enough security in the future.

But it was precisely because he was too busy that he didn't have much energy to focus on Jiaxin, so that Jiaxin didn't know that he was harassed by a perverted man, and if Zishan hadn't notified him as soon as possible, he wouldn't even know that Jiaxin would be sued.

Not only Jiaxin, he even felt that he owed Niu Kai a great favor.

At this time, he was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, thinking about what had happened in the past year, Shao Cong only felt that he had done too little for Jiaxin.

The secretary knocked on the door and came in, "Mr. Shao, today is the day Niu Kai is released from prison, didn't you say that you would pick it up in person?" ”

Shao Cong then remembered, "Okay, let's prepare the car!" ”

Jiaxin has been busy opening three stores recently, and it is estimated that she has been busy forgetting about Niu Kai's release from prison today.

But when the car stopped outside the detention center, Shao Cong saw Jiaxin's car, but she leaned next to the car and didn't go in!

Shao Cong got out of the car, walked over, and asked softly, "Haven't come out yet?" ”

Jia Xin turned her head, looked at Shao Cong, and shook her head: "He came out, but he is already gone!" ”

"Gone?" Shao Cong was a little puzzled: "Where did you go?" ”

"He told me at the beginning that when he was released from prison, he would not be used to pick him up, he would go to Lu Xin."

"Then let's go to Lu Xin to find him!" Saying that, Shao Cong came over to pull Jiaxin: "Let's go, let's go together." ”

"No need to go!" Jia Xin shook her head again, "He didn't go, I called Lu Xin just now." ”

Shao Cong is also confused, he is helpless in this city, he has no relatives, where can he go?

"Will he go back to the store?" Shao Cong asked so palely, even he knew that it was almost impossible.

"No!" Jia Xin said firmly: "He said he wouldn't go back." ”

The two of them were hesitating, and Jiaxin's phone suddenly rang, and it was the sound of a text message.

"Niu Kai's text message!" Jia Xin was a little excited, and Shao Cong hurried over.

Niu Kai said: Don't look for me, I've already left Kyoto. Thank you for taking care of you in the past two years, thank you for letting me live like a person, boss, I have always called you like this, now, I want to change my name, Jiaxin, this is the first time I call you like this, and it is also the last time, I wish you happiness!

Shao Cong looked at the text message, he had mixed feelings in his heart, he always thought that Niu Kai could turn himself in to thank Jiaxin for taking him away from that life, but now it seems that it is not entirely, he has different feelings for Jiaxin.

"Let's go!" Jiaxin put her phone in her bag: "He said don't look for him, then I won't look for him, no matter where he is, I believe he will live well!" ”

"How's going with the new store!" Shao Cong changed the topic and wanted to distract Jiaxin's attention.

"Preparations are underway, and it will open on New Year's Day!"

Shao Cong tucked the hair from Jiaxin's ear behind her ear, and said with a smile: "At your speed, it won't take a few years, and all of Kyoto will be your territory!" ”

This kind of compliment is useless for Jia Xin, Jia Xin just smiled reluctantly: "It's still early!" ”

Indeed, Jia Xin wants more than just opening stores all over the streets of Kyoto, she wants to have her own stores all over the country.

Then after the third store in Kyoto opened, Jia Shin was in trouble.

The location of the third store is far away from the original first and second stores of Jiaxin, Du Shen is no longer the manager of the first store, he is now the chief store manager, more than a month after the opening, the business is good, the time came to February, the business of the new store suddenly plummeted. At first, Jiaxin thought that as the New Year approached, everyone's demand for haircuts was no longer nervous, so she didn't care, just watched.

It's just that the situation hasn't gotten better until the eve of the Spring Festival, because at the end of the year, everyone has to go home on vacation, and Jiaxin didn't care about it until she returned to Kyoto after the New Year!

It stands to reason that there will be a few customers in the store during the school season, but to Jiaxin's surprise, there was no one for many days.

Because he is far away from the third store, this information is fed back by Du Shen.

Jiaxin felt that this was not normal, it was impossible to not even have a customer for a day, something must have happened. She immediately drove to the third store.

The third store is not very big, only one floor of the bottom business, about 100 square meters, seven or eight workstations, Jiaxin pushed the door in, seven or eight employees are sitting there basking in the sun, seeing Jiaxin come in, quickly stood up, looking nervous, for fear that the boss would lose his temper.

Du Shen walked over and pointed to the store: "You also saw it, there is really no one, everyone doesn't know what to do, the cabinet has been wiped several times, and the floor has been dragged and dragged!" ”

Jia Xin motioned for him not to say any more, and just asked, "Do you know what the reason is?" Our store has just opened, just by virtue of the popularity of the first and second stores, with your current position in this circle, it is impossible to have no customers, do you know what the problem is? ”

Du Shen's expression changed, and he flickered: "This... There are a lot of factors, although I personally came to lead the three stores, but maybe these barbers are all fresh faces, and we recruited them from other places, so you can't believe it? ”

"Don't prevaricate me!" Jia Xin saw that Du Shen was abnormal: "Even if these barbers are new faces, they are all trained by me, and I personally called them to hire them from other places." So it can't be this reason, just from the opening month every day customers have to step through the threshold can guess that it is not this reason, you tell me what the hell is going on, if you don't say, then I will check it myself! ”

Du Shen still didn't speak, and after a long time he asked: "What's the situation between the first store and the second store!" ”

"It's okay, but it doesn't seem to be very good lately, but compared to the desertion of yours here, I should be considered noisy and lively there!"

, one store and two stores have also been affected? No, it's not easy to go on like this!

Du Shen pulled Jiaxin into the corner, and then said: "Not far from our store, where we turned the corner in front, a new store has also opened, which is quite large, with two floors above and below. They do the same thing as us, but with the addition of beauty..."

"You say the point!" Jiaxin was a little anxious.

"The point is, I went to check that day, and it turned out that the one named Wei Kang was also inside, and he seemed to have a close relationship with the owner of that store."

"Who's the boss?"

"What's it called..."Du Shen scratched his head and thought about it for a long time!

Jiaxin also feels that this thing seems to be a bit too coincidental, her new store has only been open for more than a month, and a new one has opened next to it, it stands to reason that even if her store is affected, it will not be affected so much...

Wei Kang? Could it be that he planned it?

Suddenly, Jiaxin asked, "Is the owner of that shop called Yin Xiaona?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Du Shen's eyes lit up: "How do you know?" ”

That's right, the third party of Wei Kang in the previous life is called Yin Xiaona, she is also a hairdresser, and it is said that she has studied in Japan?

Could it be that in the previous life, Wei Kang cheated ~ and cheated ~ a barber, just because he ate a closed door when he chased himself, so yo Ah revenge himself?

"I heard that she just came back from Japan!" Du Shen continued: "The ones she learned were all foreign crafts, and she said that her shop was all paid by Wei Kang!" ”

"But even so, our store can't be in such a bleak state!" Jiaxin couldn't figure it out: "She came back from Japan again, but the customers are all Chinese, and they won't all worship foreign people, but why is there no one in my store!" ”

Du Shen lowered his voice and said, "Then I said, don't be angry!" ”

"It's all this time, what are you still angry about, what are the problems, say it, and everyone will solve it together!"

It turned out that Wei Kang spread Jiaxin's rumors everywhere, saying that she had a leg with the employees in the store, and the two of them were broken by him when they stole ~ love, in order to prevent him from talking nonsense, Lu Jiaxin first found someone to buy him, but he didn't obey, Lu Jiaxin's lover~ found a thug on the street and broke his leg, which is a threat!

But he didn't succumb to the evil forces, collected evidence in many ways to get justice for himself, and vowed to send Lu Jiaxin, the dog man and woman, to prison, but he didn't think that the man would resist all the blame alone!

Jia Xin gritted her teeth, she knew that Wei Kang was an out-and-out bastard, and it was his usual style of doing things to destroy if he didn't get it.

"He's retaliating!" Jia Xin said hatefully.

"Of course those who know the inside story know that he is entangled in the first place, but people who don't understand the truth of this matter will of course think that it is your problem, and there is something even more ugly, saying that Niu Kai squatted in prison for you, not only are you not grateful but also fly with your boyfriend, after Niu Kai is released from prison, you are afraid that the matter will be exposed, and you will force him away!"

"Bastard!" Jia Xin clenched his fists: "He's a scumbag!" ”

"But what do we do now?" Du Shen was also anxious: "If this continues, sooner or later, one store and two stores will be the same as here, I have to think of a way, I can't let him continue to slander like this!" ”

Of course, Jiaxin knows that it is not a matter to go on like this, but what can be done at present, once she goes to him to theorize, she will inevitably confirm those words, which will undoubtedly make things worse for the store.

What to do, what to do?

"You make me think about it, I'll go back and think about it!"

Jia Xin came out of the third store and drove around to the vicinity of Yin Xiaona's store, and sure enough, Wei Kang was still there!

Jiaxin parked the car there and carefully observed everything in the store, if there were many people, it was not a lot, it seems that those who did not go to their own store to cut their hair did not all come here!

It can be seen that many Chinese customers are not optimistic about Japanese craftsmanship!

"Wei Kang, I'm worried that I can't find a reason to avenge Niu Kai, you brought it on yourself!"

She still remembers that in the last life, Yin Xiaona was pregnant, and her vicious mother-in-law once suspected that the child was not Wei Kang's, because she said that although Yin Xiaona was pregnant, she always looked at the mountain and always wanted to marry into a wealthy family, maybe this was a breakthrough.

Jiaxin took out the phone and dialed Du Shen: "You find someone, check this Yin Xiaona carefully, and see who she meets when she is not in the store, it's best to take pictures of them for me!" ”

After hanging up the phone, Jiaxin stayed for a while before starting the car and leaving!

Shao Cong heard that the store was in trouble, so he rushed over after work, and sure enough, there were not many customers in the store. The clerks got together in twos and threes, whispering!

Zishan is contacting the training, this training has more than 300 people, and the upstairs classroom should not be able to sit, so she went out to find a venue at Jiaxin's request!

When I went downstairs, I happened to meet Shao Cong going upstairs: "You're here!" ”

Shao Cong nodded at Zishan: "Hmm! ”

"Jia Xin is on it!" After saying that, Zishan went downstairs with a bang.

In fact, Shao Cong came, and he couldn't help at all, for so many years, all the things in Jiaxin's store were solved by Jiaxin herself, but despite this, Shao Cong didn't want to let Jiaxin face it alone at such a time!

This kind of business is like this, the customer is God, once there is no customer support, the store will be crumbling!

Jiaxin also knows this truth, so over the years, she has accumulated many old customers with her good skills, good reputation, and good character.

But it's been ninety-nine years, and there has been an influx of outsiders in Kyoto, how to maintain new customers, this is the top priority, at this time, Wei Kang released such a "scandal," the blow to Jiaxin's style can be imagined!

"What can I do for you?" Shao Cong appeared behind Jiaxin, gently took her in his arms and asked!

"You?" Jia Xin spun around in his arms, and then faced him: "You can't help me, don't worry, I'm fine!" ”

"You seem..."Shao Cong raised his hand and pinched Jiaxin's fleshy little face: "Don't be in a hurry!" ”

"What's the use of being in a hurry!" Jia Xin pointed to these classrooms on the second floor: "I train 300 people at a time, according to the training time of 15 days per person, 100 yuan per person per day, do you think I can starve?" ”

Shao Cong pouted: "Are you deceiving yourself?" One hundred a day, you still have to take care of food and housing! How much money do you think you can make from it? ”

"The barber industry used to be violent!" Jia Xin popularized the history of haircuts to Shao Cong: "When I first opened a store in Kyoto, it was the time to make money, and I made a lot of money, but immediately, in a few years, the era of profiteering is about to pass." The barber industry will also become more diversified and internationalized, in the past, Zhang Yiran often encouraged me to be her stylist, I refused more than once, and then she always brought some celebrities here in order to take care of my business, they are very sympathetic to my craftsmanship, every time my style can give them a refreshing feeling, so, I am thinking, should I shift my focus! ”

Shao Cong frowned and asked puzzledly, "This is your solution to the current difficulties?" ”

"I haven't thought about it yet, maybe after the current difficulties, I'll try it in a different way!"

"However, your Jiaxin styling chain has only opened three stores, have you just given up?" Shao Cong didn't seem to agree with Jiaxin's choice: "Besides, your reputation is now a well-known signboard in Kyoto, who doesn't know it's you when it comes to Jiaxin's style, you don't need to choose a worse path, entertainment industry, what kind of place is that, I don't recommend you to go!" ”

"What about the bang?" Jiaxin looked at Shao Cong and asked: "It's not the same as being criticized and talked about now, I want to imagine countless possibilities for myself in the future!" It's like if one day my shop goes down, I can still support myself through other side hustles derived from this craft, you know? ”

"So you're going to throw away the store you've worked so hard to run for years? You know, without you, maybe everyone really wouldn't have come! Shao Cong couldn't understand why Jiaxin suddenly made this decision.

"When the time comes, I'll come back often, and with a gimmick like hairstyling celebrities, there will only be more and more customers!" Jia Xin seems to have thought everything through: "I will also do training regularly, believe me, it's a win-win decision!" ”

Shao Cong shook his head vigorously, "These are all things in the future, aren't they?" Now, now, how are you going to get through this? ”

This one... What to do, Jiaxin hasn't figured it out yet, it's just that Jiaxin was just on the way back from Wei Kang, and she suddenly figured it out!

"You've always supported me in everything I do, so why are you so opposed this time?" Jiaxin took Shao Cong's hand and swayed left and right, as if she was coquettish, and as if she was flattering!

Shao Cong took a deep breath, and then exhaled heavily, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"It's not that I don't support you, do you know why I'm working so hard? I just want to make it less hard for you in the future! Shao Cong also hooked Jiaxin's hand: "If you really become their stylist, you will have to sleep in a hotel all year round, you will follow them wherever they go, you have no life at all!" Not only is it hard, but it's also tied down, and I really don't want you like that! Isn't it good to open a good store? ”

"It was my dream to open a store, and now that my dream has come true, I have to move on to the next dream!" Jia Xin smiled and explained to Shao Cong: "Since it has been realized, you can't always guard it, you have to let it spread out, right?" ”

You really know how to use words.

Shao Cong smiled, he is like this, in the face of millions of lists, he can fight the group of Confucians alone, but in the face of Jiaxin, sometimes, he can't bear to refute her. Forget it, let her be, as long as she is happy and happy, whatever she wants, anyway, it's good to have her own to clean up the mess for her in the future!
