The other side.

After Zhou Zheng put down the phone, he stayed in the back kitchen alone for a long time, and it was not until he was about to get off work that he undressed and kept up with the chef's footsteps.

"Chef Liu, wait, I have something to say." He said.

The chef turned his head to look at him, smiled, and said gently, "What new dishes do you want to learn?" ”

Zhou Zheng scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile: "No...... I want to resign. ”

The chef was stunned for a moment, reached out and picked up the cloth on the side, wiped it on his hand, frowned, and said, "Why do you want to resign?" Is it that the restaurant is not treated well? He saw that Zhou Zheng was a good seedling, talented, and willing to learn, and he would definitely have a chance to climb up in time.

Zhou Zheng reached out and scratched his head again, and said in a low voice, "I want to open a restaurant...... A restaurant of its own. ”

The chef was stunned, he didn't expect this reason at all, and looked down at Zhou Zheng for a long time.

Zhou Zheng became more and more weak under his eyes, and even shrunk his neck, and finally mustered up the courage to purse his lips and said, "Chef Liu, I'm serious." I've always dreamed of having my own restaurant, and I want to fight for it. This time it's not just for me, it's for my girlfriend, anyway...... I must open this restaurant. ”

"Opening a restaurant is the dream of most people in this kitchen, and you're not an exception." The chef spoke, his expression a little more solemn, and sighed lightly, "But are you really ready?" ”

"I'm ready!" Zhou Zheng was more like cheering and cheering himself up, and he spoke affirmatively, but his eyes hardly dared to look at the chef, still staring at the ground and looking at the tips of his shoes. ”

The chef looked at him, nodded, and said, "Since you're ready, I don't have much to say." Go ahead and just remember a little ......"

Zhou Zheng looked up and looked at the chef's face under the light.

The chef seemed to want to say something, but he stopped talking, then reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "I hope the next time you talk to me about your dreams, you will be more confident and louder." ”

Zhou Zheng was shocked, and by the time he reacted, the figure of the chef had disappeared from his sight.

This is...... What does that mean? Was he not confident enough when he mentioned his dreams just now?

Forget it, I can't manage so much now, now that I have quit my job, all that remains is to borrow money.

He reached for his coat and walked in the direction of his home, dialing a familiar call on his phone.

It was a long time before someone on the other end picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Dad." Zhou Zheng said: "It's me, are you busy?" ”

The other head paused, and then said: "I'm not busy now, the factory has a holiday today, and I'm resting at home." ”

"I have something to tell you."

"What?"

"Do you have any money now?" Zhou Zheng held back for a long time, his face turned red, he thought that it would be very difficult to borrow money from his father, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult, "I...... I need money now, you lend me a little first. ”

My father was an ordinary repair shop worker, and he didn't spend much money on weekdays, so he should have some savings in his hands. But these savings are probably used for retirement, and he knows how stressful it will be after borrowing this money, but there is no way to do it.

"Money? Are you in trouble? Father's voice immediately rose a little higher, a little anxious.

"No, no, no, there was no trouble." Zhou Zheng immediately explained: "How much can you borrow from me?" ”

"No, where did I get the money for you?" Father said.

"I'm really not messing around...... Zhou Zheng said helplessly: "I'm going to open a restaurant, and this time I'm very serious." I mentioned Jiang Yao to you, right? The people in their family don't agree with me, I want to make a little achievement to show them, I identify Jiang Yao, and opening a restaurant is also my long-standing wish. Dad, I really didn't mess around this time, and I haven't begged you for anything since I was a child......"

There was silence on the other end of the line, "Got it." ”

My father just said three words and hung up the phone.

Zhou Zheng thought that his father didn't want to deal with him, so he had to lean under the tree and think of other ways.

Five minutes later, the phone rang suddenly.

A text message popped up on the screen, which was a transfer message from the bank, and the account balance showed a full 100,000 more.

"100,000 ......" Zhou Zheng was stunned, his nose instantly sore, and he trembled while holding the mobile phone.

The phone rang again, and Zhou Zheng immediately picked up the phone.

"Hey Dad......" he began, reaching out and wiping his eyes.

"This was originally the money I kept for the pension, you use it well and work hard. Not much else, you go get busy. ”

After a few simple words, he hung up again.

Zhou Zheng stood on the side of the road with mixed feelings, his heart was full of hope, and he secretly made up his mind that he must not live up to the expectations of so many people.

Three days later.

Jiang Yao was idle in the crew, and suddenly thought of Zhou Zheng's matter, and her heart immediately pounded.

"I don't know how he's doing now...... she muttered to herself as she pulled out her phone and dialed Zhou Zheng's number, a smile began to spread to the corners of her lips.

Zhou Zheng quickly picked it up: "Hey, Yaoyao." ”

"What are you up to? Have you gotten all the money? She said.

"Money...... The money will be gathered, and now there are 100,000. Zhou Zheng was a little hesitant, trying to make Jiang Yao relax.

The smile on Jiang Yao's face faded a little, and she pondered in her heart - will you get it? That is to say, not yet available?

"Did something happen?" Jiang Yao frowned and said, "Who did you plan to borrow money from?" ”

Zhou Zheng was silent for a moment and said: "My dad supported 100,000 yuan, I originally wanted to apply for a bank loan, but the bank did not pass the review, how can I open a store and need a starting capital of more than 200,000 yuan, but don't worry, I am thinking of a way, I just learned about a small loan company, if it doesn't work, I will go to the small loan company to borrow some, although the interest is high, but the business in the store will rise in the future, there should be no big problem." ”

"Small loan company?" Jiang Yao frowned, and immediately said: "The interest rate is too high, and the risk is also big, don't go to the company to borrow." Otherwise, I'll borrow some from Jiayi and Zilin? ”

"No, you don't." Zhou Zheng immediately said: "Don't trouble them, I'll think of a way." ”

Jiang Yao hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, then let's do it first." ”

As soon as the phone hung up, Jiang Yao made a decision.

Zhou Zheng can't be asked to find a small loan company for a loan, because the interest and debts he will have to bear in the future will not be paid off, and the risk is too great......

She thought about it and immediately dialed the group number.

Jiang Zilin joined the call first, followed by Lin Jiayi, and both of them were very quick.

"Aren't you going to be busy today?" Jiang Zilin asked.

Jiang Yao said: "The crew is just idle, Nianyu is not filming today, so I will make soy sauce here." What about you? ”

"There's nothing going on with the company today." Jiang Zilin said.

"I've got a meeting in twenty minutes, so to cut a long story short." Lin Jiayi said.

Jiang Yao was silent for a moment, and opened her mouth hesitantly: "I...... You ......"

"How much?" Lin Jiayi instantly guessed her intentions, and didn't give her a chance to delay any longer, and asked directly.

Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened - isn't it, you can guess this?!
