Two days later.

Zhou Zheng turned over on the bed, and he could clearly hear the sound of the bed board, and even the bones that he hadn't moved for two days creaked.

He didn't eat or drink for the past two days, he opened his eyes and looked at the dawn, he couldn't sleep when he closed his eyes, and his mind was full of pictures of Jiang Yao wearing a wedding dress and putting a ring on Gao Fei. The image burned him like an imprint on his soul.

The phone rang suddenly.

Zhou Zheng slowly reached out and groped under his pillow for a moment, dragged the phone out, looked at the unfamiliar number on the screen, closed his eyes and picked it up.

"Hey." His voice was hoarse, and he was startled.

"Hey, are you the owner of this steakhouse here in College Town? I see that you have information on the transfer in this store, have you transferred it out now? ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment, sat up from the bed, his stomach was a little hungry and painful, and he had no strength in his whole body, "Do you want to rent?" ”

"If the price is right. Are you in the neighborhood now? I'd like to check it out if I can. ”

"Okay, you wait for me for ten minutes." Zhou Zheng said immediately, put down the phone and got up, and his brain suddenly felt dizzy.

He closed his eyes, finally came to his senses, grabbed the bread on the side and nibbled on two bites, and then hurried out the door.

At this moment, the last thing he wants to do is to face the world, but he finally has a glimmer of life, he has to work hard, and he can't just be decadent......

Ten minutes later.

Zhou Zheng got off the bus in a hurry and rushed to the door of the store, and before he got closer, he saw two people standing in front of him, one of whom was very familiar.

He was stunned, stepped forward in disbelief, and shouted, "Chef? "This is the chef of the Western restaurant before, why is he here?

The chef turned his head, also stunned, and then laughed: "What a coincidence." ”

"Are you going to rent this shop?" Zhou Zheng hesitated.

The chef turned his head to look at the store and suddenly realized, "Are you the owner?" It's not me who wants to rent, it's my friend. He said, gesturing to the round-faced man beside him.

The man is very lean, but his round face looks rich and cute.

"Hello, it's Mr. Fang, right?" Zhou Zheng stepped forward and stretched out his hand.

"Hello." The man also reached out and shook it.

The three of them quickly went in to take a look at the environment, and Zhou Zheng also briefly talked about the reason for his failure to open the store and the rent of the store, because his price was real, and the chef guaranteed Zhou Zheng's character next to him, Mr. Fang almost didn't hesitate, and decided on the store on the spot.

When he left the store, the chef hesitated slightly, turned his head to the man next to him and said, "Xiao Fang, you go first, I haven't seen Zhou Zheng for a long time, I'll talk to him." ”

"Okay."

The man stepped out of the store.

The chef looked at Zhou Zheng, pointed to the coffee shop on the side and said, "If you're not too busy now, let's have a cup of coffee and then leave?" ”

Zhou Zheng's eyes didn't dare to look at the chef, but he nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay......" Then followed him into the coffee shop and sat down.

As the atmosphere grew dull, the chef sat across from him, smiling at him, and he sat with his fingers clasped together, replaying over and over again what the chef had said to him during his last resignation.

At that time, he was full of hesitation, with indomitable courage and self-confidence, which is why he has made a fiasco to the present, and even his most beloved woman has been lost. The career he wanted was gone, the love he wanted was gone, and it seemed like a century had passed since the last time he met the chef.

"Why should the store be rented out?" Finally, the chef spoke first.

Zhou Zheng swallowed his saliva, his mouth was dry, "Business is not good......

The chef nodded, and then said, "It's okay, you just came out to practice, if everything can be smooth sailing at the beginning, then there is a ghost." It's also good to have a little more experience, and I also suffered a lot of losses when I was younger, so if you don't mind, I can tell you about it later. Do you have any plans for now? ”

Zhou Zheng's fingers slowly put under the table, his palms were already sweating slightly, twisting the corners of his clothes, and his whole body was trembling with nervousness.

"Nope." When he said this, he felt ashamed himself.

The past two days have been patronizing despair and decadence, and I haven't had time to think about what the road ahead will be. Now although he doesn't have the more than one million arrears and pressure, he still has his father's money on him, and the money Yaoyao borrowed from him, Yaoyao's friends are all good people, and no one's money is blown by the wind, he should find a way to pay it back as soon as possible, how can he indulge in despair?

He frowned in annoyance, took a deep breath and raised his eyes again: "I'm going to go to the restaurant for an internship first, think about it, my heat is not yet ready to open a restaurant, not only is my cooking skills not good, but also my experience is not enough, chef, you are right, people like me who come out to practice, will definitely suffer." ”

"Then since you want to choose a restaurant, why don't you come back." The chef said, his voice was very soft, as if he was saying something very ordinary.

Zhou Zheng raised his head suddenly, looked at his face in disbelief, and moved his lips for a while, "Chef...... Are you sure? ”

The chef laughed, "Silly boy, of course it's true, it's not true, what am I doing here talking nonsense with you?" You have a good talent, don't waste it, many people dream of having your sense of taste, if you have such a talent, use it well, don't focus on studying these small shops. The fast-food industry is not for you, you have to do more and do better. ”

Zhou Zheng stood up excitedly, bowed to the chef several times, and said excitedly: "Thank you!" Head chef! Thank you! Thank you so much! ”

The chef also stood up and said, "What is there to thank for this, you can come over from tomorrow." ”

"Good!"

In the next few days, Zhou Zheng worked hard in the restaurant, firstly, he cherished this opportunity very much, and thanked the chef for being able to let him come back at this juncture, and secondly, as soon as he stopped, he would start to think about Jiang Yao, in order to avoid his own focus on Jiang Yao's affairs, he could only force himself to keep working and studying, and he actually made great progress in a few days.

On the morning of the third day, Zhou Zheng stayed up all night in the kitchen, and was about to put together a chair to rest, when the mobile phone rang suddenly.

He wiped his hands and looked at the screen.

Jiang Zilin.

Zhou Zheng opened his eyes in surprise, frowned, and immediately picked up: "Hey, what's going on?" ”

Jiang Zilin paused, "She's fine, don't worry." ”

Zhou Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. The only reason he could think of Jiang Zilin contacting him was that something happened to Jiang Yao.

"What about ......," he asked, again.

"I have a friend who wants to rent a storefront, and the location happens to be in the university town, isn't your store still empty? If I could, I'd send him your contact details today? ”

"Huh? Thank you, but no, my shop has been rented out, and I'm now back at the same restaurant, and I want to gain experience before moving on to the next step. ”

"The original restaurant?" Jiang Zilin was a little surprised.

"Yes, I met the original chef, and luckily he gave me this opportunity."

Jiang Zilin pondered for a moment before saying, "Okay, if you need help, feel free to tell us." ”

"Don't worry."

Jiang Zilin hung up the phone, thought about it, and sent a message to Lin Jiayi.

"What are you doing? Zhou Zheng went back to work in the original restaurant, and if he had time today, he would go over and see how he was doing. ”

Lin Jiayi quickly replied: "Go to work? That's fine, I thought he didn't adjust so quickly, I was free at night. ”

The two made an appointment and just waited for the sunset.
