When he saw me come out, he raised his head and asked, "Is the rice grain sleeping?" The tone is natural, and it's not half uncomfortable in someone else's territory.

I nodded silently and walked over, and when I got to the table, I deliberately glanced at the plate on the table, only to hear him ask, "Would you like to taste my craft?" The steak was a little cold and two prawns were hot. ”

I saw that it was almost ten o'clock, frowned, and shook my head in denial: "No, thank you." ”

He pursed his lips and smiled, as if he didn't feel my eviction at all, shrugged his shoulders and continued to peel shrimp while looking at his phone.

I had no choice but to walk to the sofa and take my phone to look through the circle of friends. When I see the information about the book city, I will pay special attention to it, it seems that this marketing is very successful, and many people post the peripheral goods of our book city in the circle of friends.

I went to open the official account again, and I saw a lot of people replying in the message area. From those responses, it can be seen that people are in a wait-and-see period, some want to try, but more are skeptical of this scenario.

I saw Zhou Yu get up in the afterglow, and when I put down my phone and looked over, I asked directly, "Are you leaving?" ”

His eyes flashed, and then he smiled: "Jia Ru, it's you who drives people so directly, so I don't invite you to see you?" I was silent for a second, got up from the sofa, and said expressionlessly: "No, it's late, you should go back and rest early." ”

"Don't send me?"

I sent him to the door, and just as I was about to say I'll see you tomorrow, he suddenly approached and forced me back to the wall, with his hands on my sides, and while his eyes fixed on me, a strong aura that belonged to him instantly invaded.

The whole body stiffened, and the mouth was already reproached: "What are you going to do?" ”

He asked in a low voice, "What do you think?" ”

At a close distance, the two looked at each other, and there was no emotion on his face, but after that, he suddenly fell and kissed me. I didn't react until the masculine breath poured into my mouth, and I reached out to push but he grabbed my wrist.

I didn't move, let him move, but kept my mouth shut.

He tossed and turned for a moment, then stepped away and said to me word by word: "Jia Ru, you are a brick. ”

I reached out and pushed him away, raising my eyebrows, didn't I say I was a stone before, why did I turn into a brick again?

As if he knew what I was thinking, he said lazily: "It used to be a stone, and my temper was hard and smelly; Now it's bricks, and the bricks seem hard, but the heart has become soft. ”

"...... "What kind of fallacy is this?"

"Okay, I won't tease you, if I tease you again, I'm really going to turn my face with me. The drops of water can still be pierced, and one day, I will be able to take down your brick. As Zhou Yu said with a grin, his fingertips brushed my face and walked out in a gentle manner.

By the time I reacted, the elevator door had already closed, and I swallowed the word "roll" on my lips.

Originally, I was just going to close the curtains when the lights went out in the living room, but when I got to the window, I couldn't help but look down. By the side of the car under the street lamp, Zhou Yu had already arrived downstairs, but he didn't leave immediately, but lit a cigarette and leaned on the car door with his fingertips, not knowing what he was thinking.

Maybe he just wants to smoke a cigarette before driving, maybe he has something to worry about not paying attention to driving, or maybe he just doesn't want to leave yet. In short, the time in my mind suddenly overlapped with a certain scene, remembering that when I moved from the apartment to my mother's house, he was downstairs every night, and I was standing upstairs silently watching, and my heart softened inch by inch.

If someone asks me if I have been soft on him at this time, my answer will be no.

There was no soft-heartedness or soft-heartedness towards him, he was always there, and when he re-entered my life, I didn't think to let him go. Only this time, at my pace.

When Zhou Yu stood downstairs for the longer I was, the tighter my eyebrows became, it shouldn't be like this, he wasn't as affectionate to me as he was before, so it couldn't be to guard me downstairs.

When he finally pulled the door and got into the car, and the car gradually drove out of sight, I looked at the time, and it was exactly twelve o'clock.

The popularity of Bashan Book City was expected by us, but we did not expect that the sky pavilion would become the focus of the most attention. First of all, the number of readings of the post published on the official account has increased to one million, and the number of reprints in the circle of friends is also countless, and the peripheral products have been mass-produced and replenished, and there are many parents who come here and return disappointed, because the space is limited, and only a certain number of children can be accommodated in the air pavilion.

Zhou Yu proposed an appointment plan for interested parties to queue up by making an appointment on-site or by phone.

People always like to go wherever it is lively, and when they carry out free experience activities in the first three days, they are discouraged, and there are all kinds of doubts; Now a single ticket price is 100 hours, but they all voluntarily come to sign up for an appointment, and some people directly apply for a card to become a member, because Zhou Yu has launched a member priority system.

I have to admit that Zhou Yu is very business-minded, and he can accurately grasp the needs of customers.

The biggest problem at the moment is a shortage of manpower.

The bookstore itself needs managers and shopping guides, and the parent-child scenario education in the sky pavilion not only needs experienced teachers to lead the children to learn, but also has a group of docents to explain the whole concept to the parents who stay outside and wait.

Originally, Zhou Yu's recruitment of personnel was far from enough, so he could only temporarily seconded the shopping guide below.

I will participate in it to help, but Zhou Yu pulled me aside from the crowd and said that I am one of the partners, and there is a place where the boss also works by himself. Ask him what I should do, and he says, make a decision.

But in fact, where are there any decisions to be made by me, he takes the idea of major decisions, he has his think tank for operation, and Zhou Liang can also be responsible for site planning, so I am basically fine.

Even the drink area doesn't have to worry about me, because Zhou Yu actually invited Xiaohua here. What shocked me even more was when did Xiaohua's brewing craft become so exquisite?

Xiaohua heard me ask, rolled her eyes directly at me, and said in a big or small way: "Boss, you also underestimate me, I have learned this thing even if I steal the teacher." It's you who only think that Ming Tsai can be in the bar, wasting an all-round talent like me to be a drinking girl. ”

There is a black line on my forehead, is there such an employee who scares the boss like this? Or am I not realizing her potential?

But then again, why was Xiaohua invited by Zhou Yu, but Ming Tsai was nowhere to be seen? When asked about Xiaohua, Xiaohua also shook her head and said that she didn't know, saying that maybe Ming Tsai had found another job.

It's a pity, I still miss these two employees, they can be regarded as accompanying me to open a store. Of course, when they left first, they said that if there was a better job, they would do it, and they didn't have to wait for me, because I was still in a lawsuit at the time.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look around, looking for Zhou Yu's figure, he brought Xiaohua to work in this bookstore, so what should I do if my drink shop is going to resume opening? At the beginning, he said that things were prioritized, and I couldn't take care of the two stores opening together, but now the book city has basically stabilized for more than a month, and there are special people in the management.

I didn't find the door, Zhou Yu automatically came up, and it was considered to hit my muzzle, so I directly asked: "You brought Xiaohua here, what should I do if my Bashan Night Rain is about to open?" ”

He raised an eyebrow, "When are you going to open?" ”

I said, "Anytime." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll take care of hiring you."

Snorted lightly, I wasn't so easily perfunctory by his words, "How long will you wait?" Give me a deadline. If it doesn't work, I'll take Xiaohua away, and you can find someone else to do it. ”

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu said firmly: "Xiaohua, you can't take it away, she has been dug by me, and she doesn't belong to your employees." ”

I squinted, "Zhou Yu, believe it or not, I told Xiaohua to leave, and she immediately followed me." ”

saw him smiling openly, "I believe in your friendship with Xiaohua, but Xiaohua signed a contract with me, and her resignation without reason is a violation of the contract and she has to pay liquidated damages." ”

I turned around and walked towards Xiaohua, and after asking Xiaohua, I couldn't help grinding my teeth, this girl was really taken away by Zhou Yu, and she stupidly thought that Zhou Yu and I were her boss, and signing a contract with him was equivalent to signing with me.

My shoulders were thrust, and I glanced sideways at the instigator and turned my head away from him.

"Jia Ru, didn't I tell you, you are the boss, not the employee, the boss is the decision-maker, you don't have to do it all yourself. So what you need to do is to develop talent, not only the staff in the store, but also the management. ”

"My store is only that big, what else is the management?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and retorted: "This has nothing to do with the big and small stores, from shopping malls to grocery stores, everyone still has a store manager to take care of it." I have an idea I want to hear? ”

"Don't." I outright no.

He shouted dissatisfiedly: "Eh, listen to it, and there won't be a piece of meat missing." Anyway, I'm just going to tell you. I think you should train a group of bartenders, and then open branches in major shopping malls, so that the bustling areas of City A have the shadow of your Bashan night rain. If you agree, I can help you operate. ”

My answer is still no: "I don't." ”

"Why?"

His eyes fell on the sign of "Bashan Night Rain" in the drink area over there, and he said slowly: "Bashan Night Rain is not for profit. ”

I heard him ask, "What's that for?" Who opened a store for no profit? ”

I didn't answer him.

The night rain in Bashan is a kind of sustenance of thought. I will fight to the end to preserve its dignity, but I will never use it as a tool for profit. will agree to put it in the book city, that's because he is Zhou Yu, no one else can.

Seeing that I was determined, he did not continue to persuade me.

However, I gave him three days, and I had to recruit employees to let my Bashan night rain open, otherwise......

I went on strike.

Zhou Yu said funny to me, Jia Ru, you are cheating.

I just turned around and walked away.
