Chapter Seventy-Six: Change

Zhang Xin watched Lynch's figure gradually disappear, his arms were full of Lynch's nutrients, and he felt warm in his heart. The door of the restaurant at home emitted a dim light, and Zhang Xin walked in with a bunch of things.

"Alas, because of them today, we haven't sold much, what can we do in the future." At the table in the middle of the restaurant, Zhang Guowei, Sun Cuihua, and Mrs. Zhao gathered around the table, saying with a sad face that due to the discount of Li Lihua's restaurant today, many customers went to the opposite side, and there were very few people who came to eat in the restaurant today.

"Alas, why do you say your brother is like this, they are willing to force us to a dead end." Sun Cuihua took out a bowl of rice and some vegetables and put them in front of Zhang Guowei.

"Eat more, there's still a lot left in the restaurant today." Sun Cuihua picked up the rag on the table and wiped it absentmindedly.

"What can be done, fair competition, after all, it is a family, and it is really not good to do it." Zhang Guowei is immersed in eating, he has often worked overtime in the factory recently, and there is such an incident at home, and he is not happy.

"Daddy, I'm back."

Hearing Zhang Xin's voice, Zhang Guowei and they all had a tacit understanding to stop the conversation just now, Zhang Xin's mood has not been very good recently, they all thought that Zhang Xin's thinking pressure had been too much recently, so they didn't want Zhang Xin to worry about this matter anymore.

"Miss Xin is back, why do you still have so many things in your hands." Sun Cuihua looked at Zhang Xin's arms full of them, and hurriedly walked over to help her get some of them.

"Malt cream, canned food, fruits, royal jelly, Xin girl, who gave it to you?" Sun Cuihua put the things on the table one by one, and when she saw the table full of things that seemed expensive at the time, she felt that Zhang Xin must have something to hide from her.

"It's Mr. Lin, I left my schoolbag at school that day, and today I heard from my classmates that I was sick, so I bought something and sent my schoolbag to me by the way." Zhang Xin is a little weak-hearted, she doesn't want to open up her relationship with Lynch with her family yet, and she and Lynch both know that now is not the most mature time to make it public.

"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Lin, he hasn't been here for the past few days." Since Zhang Xin went to college, Lynch has come frequently, before they thought Lynch was a doctor in the hospital, and later after listening to Zhang Xin's explanation, they learned that Lynch was originally a teacher at this university, although Zhang Xin didn't say it, but Sun Cuihua is also a person from the past, and she also noticed the unusual relationship between the two in her usual life.

"He's been busy lately and doesn't have time to come over, by the way, what were you talking about?" Zhang Xin looked at Sun Cuihua's face with a faint intention to continue asking, so she quickly changed the topic.

"Oh, it's okay, it's just that the weather has been getting warmer lately." Zhang Guowei replied eagerly, his stiff tone revealing unnaturalness, Zhang Xin knew that he didn't want to let himself worry about it anymore.

"Did they open a store across the street today affect our business?"

Zhang Xin didn't need to guess to know what they were discussing just now, the opposite side just opened today, it will definitely attract a lot of customers, and it will definitely make the sales in the restaurant not very good today.

"Dad, I know you feel sorry for me, so you don't want me to worry, I admit that my mood is not very good these days, but I'm about to adjust, you can rest assured, we are a family, and everything has to be faced together."

Zhang Xin has always had a resentful attitude towards Zhang Guowei since he was sensible, especially when he and Sun Cuihua and Zhang Ran were bullied by Aunt Zhang, he would just squat in the corner and smoke silently, so when Zhang Xin grew up, he rarely talked to him, until that day when Mrs. Zhang came to the store to make trouble, Zhang Guowei guarded so many people to protect their mother-in-law, so that Zhang Xin gradually changed his opinion of him.

"I think it's better not to let our parents know about this matter first, they haven't been in good health recently, so don't let them worry anymore." Since the New Year, the two old people began to get sick, cold and fever, high blood pressure, Sun Cuihua also took them to the hospital many times, and after the New Year, with Aunt Zhao in the store to help, they have been recuperating at home and have not come to the store again.

"I agree with what my father said, after all, they are both old, and they haven't been in good health recently, so don't let them know about it yet." Zhang Xin stayed at the skating rink all day and didn't eat at noon, so he went to the back kitchen and served a bowl of rice by himself and brought it to the table.

"However, it's not a way to go on like this, if we buy it at today's amount, we will have to be squeezed out by them in less than a month." Aunt Zhao slapped the table and looked at the busy restaurant opposite with a sad face, which was in stark contrast to the desertion in the store now.

"Yes, since they have already opened, we should also think of a way, change to a new business method, and then compete with them fairly." In the 21st century, although she has not read any books, she understands a truth, that is, the times are changing rapidly, and if you want to make money, you must keep up with the times, change and think more.

Now there are more and more small shops next to the school, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce, if you don't change the model, this small shop at home will one day be washed away by more and more new small shops.

Zhang Xin returned to school after a day of recuperation at home, the school days were almost the same as before, Zhang Xin went to class on time every day, sometimes talked to Lynch by the lake after class, Zhou Hui moved to a residential building near the school, there were many people in that residential building, and it was very close to the school, Lynch repeatedly insisted that she move out to live, Zhou Hui is also a girl, very thin-skinned, seeing that Lynch is so insistent and this residential building is very in line with her requirements, it is not good to say anything, so she moved out.

Everything is as usual, but Zhang Xin has never been to the library since she came back, and she knows that since she has not fully accepted that person, she should try to avoid meeting him, and try not to be affected by him in her current stable life.

Unconsciously, two months have passed since the new semester, the originally dry branches are gradually dressed in green under the sunlight every day, people have finally gotten rid of the heavy and monotonous thick clothes, and replaced them with light and brightly colored single clothes, and the students finally no longer have to be afraid of the biting cold of winter, they have come out to walk and play ball, and various clubs have also moved small chairs to sit downstairs to recruit some new people to expand their teams.

"Zhang Xin, this is these books on management and finance that I borrowed from my library card in the library, can you see if it's okay." Qu Ying came to Zhang Xin's seat with a few books after class, and handed her the books she had borrowed from the library for Zhang Xin.

"Oh, yes, thank you." Zhang Xin took the book and flipped through a few pages, the recent benefits of the restaurant are far from being as good as before, to not be completely affected by Li Lihua's restaurant, the school's canteen has undergone a huge renovation after the Chinese New Year this year, and the country has paid more and more attention to the development of higher education, so more and more funds have been allocated to the school, and all aspects of the school have been developed, and the canteen is naturally indispensable.

After the renovation of the school's cafeteria, Zhang Xin also went to it a few times, and it was true that the dishes in the canteen were cheap and delicious, not inferior to those at home, so Zhang Xin also had the idea of transforming the business model of the restaurant at home.

The sun at noon is just right, Zhang Xin took those books after eating and found a quiet place in the school, she leaned on the stone pillar, sat on a terrace on the third floor of the teaching building, in front of it happened to be a small pond of the school, a warm wind blew, Zhang Xin actually felt comfortable, she opened a book in her hand and looked at it seriously, after reading the books on finance and management for so many days, Zhang Xin felt that she had a strong interest in this area, and recently she was also considering whether to change her major in her sophomore year. But she was afraid that Lynch would not agree, so she hadn't officially mentioned it to Lynch, she wanted to get used to it first, think about it and then talk to him about it.
