Chapter 31: A Strange Woman
The people outside the door heard the slap and immediately rushed in.
Hu Jie covered her face, turned her head and yelled at the people behind her: "Don't come in if you don't let you in!" Get out! ”
Xu Li smiled: "It's okay, Hu Jie, you actually brought someone here, why, do you want to smash my store, or beat me?" ”
"Believe it or not, I have never instigated Hu Mei to bully your Xu Hui!"
"Really, not?" Xu Li sneered, "Then why did you lie to Hu Mei and say that I snatched Jiang Hao from you?" You know that your sister is a bad girl, and you still talk nonsense to her and slander me, isn't it just to make her trouble with my sister? ”
Hu Jie's face was pale.
"Why don't you speak?" Xu Li glanced at Hu Jie's belly, sneered and patted her face, "Hu Jie, you're about to become a mother, why don't you know how to accumulate some virtue for yourself?" ”
Hu Jie forced Xu Li's eyes and sneered: "Thank you Sister Li for the reminder, I remember." However, I also want to remind Sister Li. ”
"Okay, I'd like to hear about it."
Hu Jie whispered in Xu Li's ear: "Sister Li, be careful, maybe one day, everything you have will be destroyed." Don't think that only you can ruin someone's life, I can too. ”
"Really? Okay, I'm waiting for you! ”
Xu Li looked at Hu Jie's figure, and her body felt cold.
Hu Jie walked out of the dessert shop, and Hu Lie hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Sister, this slut slapped you just now, why didn't you let me return it for you." ”
Hu Jie smiled: "To deal with this kind of person, violence alone will not work, the only thing that can make her kneel and beg for mercy is to destroy everything she has." ”
Hu Lie gritted his teeth and said: "This not only ruined the relationship between you and your brother-in-law, but also injured Hu Mei, if she dares to trouble our family again, I must beat her to death!" ”
Hu Jie put away the smile on her face and said coldly: "Don't make trouble for me, just stay honest with me when you don't need you to come forward, understand?" ”
Hu Lie hurriedly nodded. He is now more and more afraid of his sister, and always feels that his sister has changed since she married into the Jiang family, and the person who was originally soft and weak and compromised is now getting harder and harder, and more and more ruthless.
"You take the five thousand yuan," Hu Jie handed an envelope to Hu Lie, and glanced at the gangsters behind Hu Lie, "Take these little brothers of yours to eat and sing, but don't make trouble for me again!" ”
"Good, good!"
Hu Lie stretched out his hand with a smile, and was just about to take it, but Hu Jie suddenly retracted his hand and said coldly: "Don't forget what I told you, there can't be any mistakes, you know?" ”
Hu Lie nodded happily, took the envelope from Hu Jie's hand, and shared the money with the gangsters behind him.
Hu Jie turned her head and looked at the recruitment notice posted at the door of the dessert shop again, and a grim smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
……
Hu Jie has changed, this is what Xu Li can think of, but it is something Xu Li did not expect to become so ruthless.
That night, on the way home, Xu Li kept thinking about what Hu Jie said.
If it was in the past, of course she wouldn't care about Hu Jie's cruel words, but now, she was inexplicably worried, worried about whether this Hu Jie would really do something to hurt her family.
If it's just for herself, that's okay to say, but if Hu Jie hurts her family, then she won't let her go!
After returning home, Xu Li exchanged a few words with Xu Shun and Sun Ruixue, and then went to Xu Jing's house and asked him in a low voice: "Let me ask you, has that Hu Mei made trouble with her sister recently." ”
"How is that possible! With me here, who would dare to bully her? ”
Xu Li pinched Xu Jing's ears and said with a smile: "Stinky boy! Just know how to say big things! Will this affect your studies? ”
"No, no, no! Huihui and I have agreed that I will pick her up at half past six every day, so you can rest assured! ”
"Okay," Xu Li took out a fifty yuan bill from her wallet and slapped it on Xu Jing's table, "It's your hard work during this time, take it!" ”
"Holy! Sister, why are you so generous now! ”
Xu Li smiled and flicked Xu Jing's head and said, "When have I ever been stingy with you?" What you wanted, I didn't buy it for you once? ”
"I took a hundred dollars last time, and you muttered for half a month."
"Can that be the same? You call it stealing, not taking! ”
Xu Jing knew that he was at a loss and stopped talking.
But when she went to bed at night, Xu Li always felt unsteady in her heart, and she was always worried that something bad would happen.
The next day, Xu Li and Xu Shun went to the dessert shop together.
When Xu Shun saw the recruitment notice posted on the door, he said a little unhappily: "You still refuse to listen to me after all." ”
Xu Li smiled and explained, "Oops, Dad! I feel sorry for you! In the future, there will only be more and more guests, and you will definitely not be able to keep busy alone! ”
Xu Shun thought about it, and felt that he was indeed a little too greedy and wanted to make all the money for others, but if he was younger than ten or twenty years younger, he would definitely be able to cope with it, but now that he is so old, with old arms and legs, after a long time, not only will he not be able to stand it, but he will also drag his daughter's hind legs.
Xu Shun reluctantly agreed: "That's okay!" However, the people I recruit will be in my charge in the future! ”
Xu Li took Xu Shun's arm and said with a smile: "Of course, you are the deputy general manager of our store!" ”
"What? Am I the Deputy General Manager? ”
"Of course! I am the general manager, and you are the deputy general manager! Of course those who recruit will have to listen to you! ”
When Xu Shun heard this title, his heart was happy. He didn't be a canteen administrator before, which really made him aggrieved for a while, but now he suddenly became the deputy general manager, can he be unhappy? Although this dessert shop can't be compared with the canteen of Hon Hai Factory, if it continues to develop at this rate, it won't be long before a chain can be opened! When the time comes, he will not be under one person and above ten thousand?
Ha ha! He worked for her daughter, and that must be 10,000 willingness!
Xu Li was relieved when she saw Xu Shun's satisfied look.
What kind of general manager does the current scale of the dessert shop need, there are only a few people in total, and what she said just now is just to make her father happy.
Xu Li once again launched a new product today - cheesecake.
As soon as the new product was launched, it was immediately robbed, and there was even a long queue at the scene, until the afternoon, there were many fewer talents, and at the same time, many students studying in Haishi University came to ask if they could work part-time here when they saw the recruitment notice at the door.
Xu Li agreed, of course, and she asked all interested students to write a simple resume and told them that she would decide who to admit in a few days.
In the afternoon, a young woman with sunglasses came, she sat down by the window, snapped her fingers, and motioned for Xu Shun to come over.
Xu Shun didn't understand what it meant, Xu Li smiled: "Dad, people are letting you go!" ”
Xu Shun ran over and asked with a smile, "Girl, what dessert do you want to eat?" We have ...... here."
"Needless to say, bring me a copy of your dessert here, and the same goes for the drink."
Xu Shun was stunned, this was the first time he had seen such a delicious customer.
"Girl, can you eat so much?"
The woman smiled at Xu Shun, took out a hundred-yuan bill from her bag, and slapped it on the table.
"Is it enough?"
Xu Shun smiled and said, "It's a lot." ”
The woman waved her hand and said, "Then don't look for the rest." ”
Xu Shun didn't know what to do, he took the money to the cashier, found Xu Li, who was busy checking out the customer, and then told everything just now.
Xu Li didn't think much about it, but said: "What people say, let's do it, according to her wishes." ”
When Xu Shun heard Xu Li say this, he had no choice but to do so.
The woman took off her sunglasses, looked at the pieces of seductive cakes in front of her, smiled slightly, forked a small piece of yogurt cake with a fork, and put it in her mouth.
Well, don't say it, it's really delicious, Wang Meng really didn't lie.
The woman then ate a small slice of the other cakes in turn, and took a sip of all three drinks.
After Xu Li finished settling the bill for a customer, she had time to look at the woman, and inadvertently, she collided with the woman's gaze.
Xu Li smiled politely, but the woman just looked at Xu Li expressionlessly, then stood up and walked in front of Xu Li.
"Your cake tastes good, just right, tomorrow my girlfriend is going to have a birthday party, you make me a yogurt birthday cake, and then make five copies of each of your cakes and send them over," the woman took out a business card from her bag, "This is my contact information, and I will inform you of the address I will deliver tomorrow in the evening." ”
"Uh...... But I only make desserts here, not birthday cakes! ”
But the woman could not refuse: "You set the price." ”
"But ......"
"To tell you the truth, I'm surrounded by rich people, if they get to know your dessert shop, do you still need to worry about future business? I'm helping you develop the high-end market, don't you understand? ”
Xu Li was stunned.
"Okay, that's it," the woman smiled rarely, took out a small book from her bag, and handed it to Xu Li, "Write me your contact information, and I'll contact you in the evening." ”
Xu Li came back to her senses, took the notebook a little dazedly, and wrote the landline in the store to the woman.
The woman glanced at the phone number on the notebook, smiled again, put on her sunglasses again, patted Xu Li's shoulder, and left.
Xu Shun waited for the woman to leave before coming over and asking, "Lily, who was that woman just now!" ”
Xu Li thought for a while and said, "I'm here to buy something, and I want to make her a birthday cake and send it over tomorrow." ”
"Birthday cake? Will you do it? ”
Xu Li smiled: "I can do all kinds of cakes, not to mention birthday cakes." ”
Xu Li suddenly brightened.
Yes, this woman really reminded her that birthday cakes are also a business! In addition to birthday cakes, she can also broaden the variety of desserts! In addition, the delivery mode of takeaway is very rare in this era, so why doesn't she seize the opportunity to develop the takeaway business?
Xu Li waited until eight o'clock before waiting for the other party's call, and after noting down the address that the other party requested to deliver and the number of desserts needed, she asked casually: "Can you tell me your friend's name?" I had her name written on the cake. ”
The woman was silent for a while, then said coldly, "No need, you just need to write Happy Birthday." ”
After saying that, the woman hung up the phone and didn't even say goodbye.
"?"
Xu Li muttered a little unhappily, but for the sake of money, she could bear it.
That night, Xu Li was busy until more than ten o'clock in the evening in order to prepare the next day's dessert and birthday cake, but what she didn't know was that Li Feng had been watching her from a distance and accompanying her.
Li Feng has had a very unpleasant past few days, in addition to the power struggle in the factory that has made him physically and mentally exhausted, the research and development of new equipment has also encountered difficulties, and what makes him even more uncomfortable is that Wang Meng has become more and more pestering him, often looking for him when he is at work, seriously interfering with his work.
In front of his colleagues, he couldn't say anything, but in private, every time he wanted to criticize Wang Meng, Wang Meng would always look at him with tears in his eyes, so he couldn't bear to finish his words.
Since the last time Xu Li made him disappear from her life, he would always think of Xu Li, but he didn't want to disturb Xu Li's life anymore.
He thought, maybe Xu Li was right, his existence was just a burden to Xu Li. But he was never able to completely erase Xu Li from his mind, and the more he tried to do so, the more frequently the picture of being with Xu Li appeared in his mind.
