The optical store introduced by Li Ning is actually the most famous contact lens store in China - Bausch & Lomb Glasses, which is a chain and has branches next to major universities in the magic capital.

After contacting the person in charge of the optical store, Xiong Xia deliberately chose a sunny afternoon to go for an interview. Saying that you are going to an interview is actually just to get acquainted with the environment and get to know the people in the store. After all, it's not a regular employee, it's just a part-time employee at a lower level.

Coincidentally, the façade is on the same street as Jia'an, one is on the south side, the other is on the north side, and Bausch & Lomb is still around the corner.

"No wonder I didn't find out that there was an optical store here before", Xiong Xia stopped, tilted his head and muttered to himself, stunned for a while.

"Beauty, let one let" Suddenly, the words sounded, and he coldly snorted "Spirit", seeing a small truck directly in front of him, Xiong Xia hurriedly moved his steps and made his debut.

The pickup truck stopped in front of the Bausch & Lomb optical store, and two young men and women wearing clothes with the Bausch & Lomb logo got out of the car. ”

"Oh! I'm here for an interview, and I made an appointment with the owner yesterday afternoon to come at this time today. Xiong Xia was a little cramped and hurriedly responded.

"Oh! It's you," one of the female employees smiled, "I answered the phone yesterday." ”

The male employee next to him asked Xiong Xia while unloading the goods from the car: "Are you the one introduced by Li Ning?" ”

"Uh-huh! Yes! ”

"Okay, Li Ning introduced it, it must be no worse, it's still a high-achieving student of S University." It seemed that they had a good impression of Li Ning, and the tension that lingered in Xiong Xia's heart was suddenly relieved.

"Then let's do it, Xiaojuan and I will unload the goods first, you will take a hand, even if you are hired today, Li Ning should have told you about the salary, 30 per hour, and the goods will be unloaded, which will be counted in the salary." The male employee said to her, seeing Xiong Xia looking at the pickup truck, thinking that she had any concerns, he added, "It's all very light contact lens packaging boxes, not tiring." ”

Xiong Xia hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, I didn't mean that, I'm just a little curious about what contact lenses look like." ”

"You're probably not nearsighted, you've never worn contact lenses, so you're not familiar with contact lenses." When the male employee heard her say that he was unfamiliar, he immediately said in a hurry, "What about Bausch & Lomb, we first started a business in the United States by a German immigrant named Dr. Lun, opened the first optical store, and then partnered with a gentleman named Ronald to have the name Bausch & Lomb." ”

"It's fate!" Xiong Xia listened to his explanation, seemingly interested.

"We Chinese don't understand the crooked kernels, and it's interesting to have a name, but our products are world-renowned." The male employee praised his own products, and the witty words were full of words, and the female employee named Xiaojuan next to him couldn't listen to it.

"Okay, Brother Bin, stop, you can't remember what you said about so many little girls, hurry up and unload the goods, I'll have something to do later!" Xiaojuan interrupted him stiffly.

"What can I do, it's not to find your boyfriend, I'm going to do it." The male employee did not give in and immediately went back.

The two competed against each other, and it seemed that no one would let anyone, but in fact, it was a good relationship that would be so unscrupulous. Such a scene amused Xiong Xia, looking at the two people in front of him, thinking that the work should be very harmonious in the future.

"By the way, little girl, I don't know your name yet?" The female employee named Xiaojuan asked.

"Sister, it's good if you call me Xiong Xia."

"Xiong Xia? Xiong Xia! Xiaojuan muttered to herself twice, as if she was tasting some delicious food between her lips and teeth, and her face was intoxicated. What a name! ”

"Thank you, Sister Xiaojuan." Xiong Xia hurriedly nodded and thanked him.

"Let's call you Xia Xia in the future, it seems that we are close." The male employee named Brother Bin grinned widely.

Xiong Xia only smiled and remained silent.

"Okay, okay, in the future, we have time to set up, hurry up and work, work." After Xiaojuan finished saying this, she was afraid that Xiong Xia would be embarrassed, so she hurriedly explained, "Xia Xia, don't mind, this is what I say." ”

I have long seen that they are more easy-going people, so naturally they will not care about this.

Xiong Xia put down her schoolbag according to Xiaojuan's instructions, immediately rolled up her sleeves and began to move boxes from the car to the store's warehouse.

There are not many goods, three people come and go, few back and forth quickly finished, Brother Bin saw Xiong Xia's face flushed, knowing that she was tired, he took out a bottle of Yakult from his staff cabinet and handed it to her.

"Xia Xia, you're tired, drink this, I heard that you girls like to drink it."

Xiong Xia saw the Yakult handed over and hesitated to take it. Xiaojuan came out of the warehouse room, saw her like this, and said, "Xia Xia, then, you're welcome, you can't be polite with Brother Bin." ”

Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and took it while thanking him.

"You may have just come and don't understand the situation, your brother Bin and I are both more casual people, in the future, don't be polite to the two of us, you know."

"Hmm!" Xiong Xia nodded heavily.

"It's not too early, Xia Xia, you can go back today, and I'll teach you some knowledge about glasses when I come tomorrow afternoon, it's not difficult at all." College students learn things very quickly. Brother Bin said while drinking Yakult.

Every time I go to a part-time job to introduce myself as a college student, I always have the illusion that I feel like a college student can do anything after I go to college.

Although Xiong Xia has heard this sentence countless times and countless times, she will always have new feelings, so much so that she really wants to correct it: college students are not good at everything!!

Obviously, these two brothers and sisters will not pay attention to the "turbulent waves" staged in her heart at this time.

Leaving Bausch & Lomb's optical store, Xiong Xia looked at his watch: 17:30. While waiting for the bus at the bus stop, Yuan Yuan called.

"Xia Xia, are you back?"

The phone was picked up, and the voice from the microphone was low and weak.

"Well, I'm waiting for the bus, I'll be there soon."

"Oh," followed by a long silence, with only the faint sound of Yuanyuan's breathing.

"Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you?"

"Come back first, come back and tell you."

Hung up the phone, with a belly full of question marks, Xiong Xia got into the car.

Since helping Xiong Xia carry his luggage, Xiao Shang's already cold temperament has become more and more cold. Often sitting alone at the desk writing something, as long as Mu Jingbo and Gu Yiyu enter the dormitory, they will immediately put it away and put it on their bookshelf, and over time, it will inevitably make people suspicious.

"Ahshang, what are you writing every day?" Mu Jingbo finally couldn't control himself and asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

"It's nothing, it's just just writing casually." Xiao Shang will not reveal a single star.

Seeing that he didn't want to say it at all, he didn't ask more, because he was well versed in Xiao Shang's character, and if he asked too much, he seemed to be asking the bottom of it, mother-in-law.

"Xiaobo," Xiao's lips moved, but he still said, "I'm going to hold a party." ”

“PARTY？” Mu Jingbo had a question on his face.

"Yes, I've thought about it again and again in the past few days, only by declaring that I like Xiong Xia, others won't continue to spread those gossips, and Zeng Xiangyi won't dare to bully her anymore." The firmness of his eyes made Mu Jingbo unaware: Ah Shang, I really like her to the core.

"As long as you want to do it, I will support you." Mu Jingbo said, "But what do you want to do? ”

"I've already thought about the details, won't it be the school celebration in a few days? At that time, as the host, I will talk about it in the interactive session, and then invite the people who participate in the show to Jia'an, and at that time, I will personally tell her that I like her. Xiao Shang paused, "It's just that I haven't been able to grasp Xiong Xia's idea yet, in case..."

"You mean Xiong Xia will refuse?" Mu Jingbo said this for him.

Xiao Shang nodded.

"Then it's better not to say it at the school celebration, and directly gather the students who participated in the show to Jia'an, and then Gu Yiyu and I will invite Xiong Xia to come, how about this?" Mu Jingbo proposed, paused, and said, "Moreover, I don't think Xiong Xia will refuse you, although I don't know what she thinks of you, but there is one thing, she will not reject you." ”

Listening to Mu Jingbo's words, even if it was comforting, Xiao Shang's heart was filled with ripples, and his mood eased a lot.

Mu Jingbo patted his friend on the shoulder, and the two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

It's just that in the world, there will always be a saying: plans are not as fast as change.

Xiao Shang's parents haven't been back for more than a month, and they said it would be a week, but now it's been postponed for nearly a month. When talking to his parents on the phone, his mother's secrecy couldn't escape Xiao Shang's keen sense.

"Ah Shang, something happened to your father's company, the capital chain that was said in advance was broken, your father and I have been running for this matter this month, and we may not be able to return home in the near future, you ask your aunt He to make more of your favorite food, don't worry about us, deal with it, your father and I will fly back immediately." Mu Qing's voice was full of exhaustion.

He had never heard his mother's tone so heavy, mixed with irritability and helplessness.

"Mom, it's serious!" Xiao Shang used an affirmative tone.

"It's okay, you know, business will be smooth, there will always be some twists and turns." Such comfort did not put Xiao Shang at ease.

"Mom, if there's something, don't hide it from me!" Xiao Shang carefully told his mother, "I can also help." ”

"My son is really sensible when he grows up," Mu Qing smiled happily on the other end of the phone, "I know how to share it for my parents, my mother is so happy, okay, don't talk about it, your father called me, take care of yourself, did you hear?" ”

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Shang's mood couldn't be calm for a long time, and he panicked in his heart, always feeling that something was going to happen, but when he thought of the internal conduction nerve, he couldn't stimulate the thalamus to the cerebral cortex, and he couldn't produce a situation and couldn't be evaluated, let alone cognitive emotions.

You can't get anything out of thinking about it, it's not as convincing as your actual actions. My father's company's capital chain in Guangzhou was broken, so it must have been a problem with the recent economic situation. However, how could the Xiao family have abundant funds and the capital chain is broken.

Just thinking about it, the mobile phone news prompted that there was new information, and when I opened the mobile phone and came to my eyes, a few big words came into view: the global economic crisis is intensifying, and housing prices from all walks of life are falling like an iceberg.

Xiao Shang couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, his heartbeat accelerated, and he hurriedly watched the latest current affairs news carefully.

The fingers kept sliding on the screen, all about the economic crisis, this time the incident happened suddenly, no wonder the capital chain of the father's Guangzhou branch would be broken.

He was a little anxious and wanted to call again, but after thinking about it rationally, even if he did, it would be useless. The most important thing now is to find out what is the condition of my father!

Xiao Shang rushed to his uncle's house without saying anything, and saw his cousin, and immediately asked him about the current situation, because his cousin had always been in charge of the affairs of the branch.

Xiao Hui wanted to speak and stopped, seeing that his cousin was more serious, and he explained the ins and outs clearly.

"Ah Shang, the second uncle's branch has a broken capital chain, in fact, it's all my fault." Xiao Hui looked apologetic, "I embezzled the funds, and the second uncle knew about it." Originally, I would have been fine as long as I made it up, but for some reason it became more and more serious, and I always felt like someone was going to fix me. ”

"Someone is behind it?" Xiao Shang pointed out the main point.

"That's right! I plan to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau again these days to see if I can..."

"Brother, since my dad knows about this, you don't blame yourself anymore, and don't go down the path of those officials, the situation is not as good as before, it's better to be cautious." Xiao Shang persuaded him not to let him be impulsive and do something wrong.

Xiao Hui nodded.
