School cafeteria.

Xu Nian looked down at the plate, holding chopsticks in his hand, poking them at the steaming rice one by one, obviously in a bad mood.

Li Yu picked up a piece of chicken wings and put it on her plate tremblingly.

"Come, Xu Nian, eat more and grow your body."

Xu Nian's face stinked even more.

In the end, I still dislike my smallness.

"If you can't speak, you can not speak."

"Uh......"

Li Yu didn't dare to speak out, and ate with his head bored. When a girl is in a bad mood, everything the boy says is wrong, or let her be alone.

Xu Nian glanced at Li Yu, and his heart was extremely complicated.

She actually doesn't want to be emotional, she is not Li Yu's person, she is just an ordinary friend, what qualifications do she have to ask others to accommodate her.

But when he thought of being surrounded by girls asking for contact information, and he looked proud, his heart was inexplicably angry, accompanied by bursts of tingling.

Xu Nian had never had such emotions, she didn't know what to do, and her mind was a mess.

After a long silence, she finally made up her mind to face the problem head-on. It's stupid to ask if you don't understand, and to keep the questions in your heart for others to guess.

"I'll ask you a question, you have to answer honestly, you can't lie to me."

"Huh?"

Li Yu raised his head in surprise. A few minutes ago, I was still ignorant of answers, but now I took the initiative to speak, but it is better to be willing to speak than to sulk.

"Okay, you ask, I promise not to lie."

Xu Nian organized the language and asked, "How many girls have you added to VX?" ”

"Except for the family, you are the only one, and even Tang Wan didn't add it, don't believe me to show you my mobile phone."

As he spoke, Li Yu reached for his schoolbag.

"No, I believe you."

Xu Nian can ask him to borrow a mobile phone to play, but he will not snoop on his privacy, which is a matter of principle.

"In other words, you didn't add to the ones who talked to you in the exam room today?"

"I don't know them, what are you doing in Calais?"

Xu Nian was in a better mood for most of the time, but he was still a little angry.

If you don't want to add it, you refuse, and you laugh so happily, why haven't you ever smiled at me like this.

In fact, Li Yu's smile towards Xu Nian is something that no one else can see. It's just that the authorities are fascinated, and she herself subconsciously ignores it.

"That's it, I won't worry about you for the time being."

Xu Nian opened his mouth to bite the chicken wing that Li Yu gave her. Chicken is creamy and juicy, and it's her favorite dish in the canteen.

Li Yu carefully looked at her expression and asked tentatively, "Then are you still angry now?" ”

"I'm angry."

Xu Nian swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "I just said that I don't care, it doesn't mean that I'm in a good mood." ”

"Why don't we find a place to play and let go?"

Xu Nian thought for a while and said, "No, let's go to the carp club." I just finished the exam, and I went to report the results to the store manager. ”

"Okay."

Just as Tang Wan has Lu You's counseling, Li Yu will naturally find someone for the two of them to tutor.

It just so happens that the manager of the carp club is an undergraduate graduate from a top university, and he has also been in the competition and has the ability to teach them some skills.

……

An hour later.

Lounge on the second floor of the Koi Fish Society.

The young store manager brought two cups of milk tea to the two of them and smiled, "Come, your sugar-free milk green." ”

The two picked up their mugs and took a small sip.

Compared with the bubble tea shops outside, there is less too strong sweetness, and the mellowness of milk and the fragrance of green tea are more prominent.

"Thank you, manager, it's delicious."

"Thank me for what?"

The store manager waved his hand to Xu Nian and said, "I'm just a wage earner, these are all the money of the small boss, just thank him." ”

Xu Nian moved his gaze and looked at Li Yu with a calm expression.

A rich brother is a rich brother, everyone is a high school student, one is studying in high school, and the other can open a store and hire people.

"Thank you, little boss."

Li Yu was full of excitement, put the cup on the coffee table, and said, "You're welcome, just be happy." ”

The interaction between the two made the store manager's eyes in a trance, he had such years before.

Carefree, peaceful and beautiful, as if it were just yesterday.

"That's right, Jin Yun."

Li Yu looked at the distracted store manager and brought the topic into the right track.

"Today, we did well in the city competition, and the skills and knowledge you taught were basically used."

The manager of the carp club, named Jin Yun, majored in civil engineering and graduated more than five years ago.

Before going to college, he was a passionate young man with great ambitions. After graduating, he became a working boy who was keen on.

"It's good if I can help you, and don't forget to promise a salary increase."

How can people in society help others tutor without asking for anything in return? What's more, this person is still the boss.

His own job is just to watch the shop and make milk tea, and teaching the boss to learn is not included.

"Don't worry, you won't forget."

Li Yu's family does not lack Jin Yun's salary, and he will give what should be given, and he will not be in arrears.

Xu Nian listened to the conversation between the two silently, unaware of the calendar.

At this time, she remembered a question that had puzzled her for two weeks.

"Store manager, didn't you graduate from 996 college, how can you do this kind of work?"

"Huh? What is this kind of work? Is there anything wrong with being a board game store manager? ”

Xu Nian pondered his sentence and said, "That is, your university major is civil engineering, and it has nothing to do with the store manager, why did you choose to do this?" ”

"It's a simple reason."

Jin Yun leaned on the back of the chair and put his hands together on his thighs.

"Money, hobbies, and the work environment."

"Can't your major bring you that?"

In Xu Nian's eyes, students who can graduate from 996, as long as their majors are not particularly outrageous, it is not a problem to find a high-income job.

"Haha."

Jin Yun laughed twice, as if helpless and mocking.

"You're thinking too well. First of all, civil engineering is not what I like, but the best choice among the many majors available.

Second, unlike in the past, college students are not worth much. Even if you graduate from a prestigious school, you can grab a lot of them, how can there be so many good positions.

Besides, civil engineering understands everything, although it doesn't really ask you to make ash, but you still want to run the construction site, it's dirty and tired, and the salary is still picky and searched.

Graduating from college seems to be very beautiful, but it is very rare. When I go home, I am lectured by my parents, and I have to be pointed out by experts who are high up outside.

Eh, forget it, don't talk about it, it's all tears. ”

Xu Nian's illusions about the future are cracked. She originally wanted to go to a good university, study in a major she likes, find an easy job, and save money to buy a house, but society doesn't seem to be so simple.

"That'...... Is it better to be a store manager here than to find a job in your profession? ”

"Of course!"

Jin Yun said without hesitation: "You ask the little boss, how is the treatment he gave me?" ”

Without waiting for Xu Nian to speak, Li Yu had already taken the initiative to say: "1.8w after salary tax, including food and housing, five insurances and one housing fund, and a high turnover with a commission." ”

"It's not over yet."

Jin Yun then added: "My work content is extremely easy. The store starts at 10 o'clock in the morning and closes at 10 o'clock in the evening, during which I will look at the store, and when there are customers who come, introduce them to board games, make milk tea, and the rest of the time they can do what they want. ”

it!? Isn't this my dream job!

Relaxed, free, with a lot of money, she still touches the things she likes every day.

Xu Nian is similar to Tang Wan in this regard, he doesn't have any big ambitions, as long as he can live a happy and stable life, and his family is healthy.

It's just that the two don't know that there are very few people who can do these twelve words.

"However, you don't need your professional knowledge at all to do this job, don't you feel that four years of college have been wasted?"

Jin Yun lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "If it were me in high school, I would think so." But now, not at all.

I am a person from an ordinary family, whether I need professional knowledge for work or not, and I end up working for others, and there is no difference. ”

His enthusiasm has been wiped out in the two years of social animal life after graduation.

No dream, no truth, is not as comfortable as living by yourself.

"Don't talk about that. My experience is only a reflection of the state of society, and it does not represent the whole story. Come, let me look at your exam papers for today. ”

In Jin Yun's opinion, as long as Xu Nian has Li Yu here, all the troubles she has experienced will basically not happen to her.

Xu Nian also wanted to ask him why after finishing college, his attitude towards life not only did not improve, but became more negative. However, it was obvious that they did not want to discuss this topic anymore, so they had to give up.

Li Yu on the side took out the test paper from his backpack and handed it over.

"If you can, there are a few questions that you need to explain."

"I'll do my best."

Jin Yun's participation in the competition was almost ten years ago. Even if there is a re-pick-up these days because of Li Yu's request, it may not be solved.

Fortunately, the questions in the city competition were not particularly difficult, and he could barely answer them for the two.

……

In the evening, on the way back to Xu's house.

Xu Nian sat in the back seat of Li Yu's car, looking up at the thick and deep night sky, and there was no starlight.

"Li Yu, you said, the store manager is so bad now, could he have been a person with dreams before?"

Li Yu pressed the brakes, and the car slowly stopped in front of the sidewalk, waiting for the green light to come on.

"I don't know about him, but I used to have."

Xu Nian's attention was instantly diverted. Other people's affairs, how can they be as interesting as the people in front of them.

"Oh? What is the dream, talk about it. ”

"I used to want to be an astronaut, and my parents were happy......

Before Li Yu finished speaking, Xu Nian skillfully took over the conversation and said, "Then they gave you Xizhilang jelly, right?" ”

"Uh...... You know that too? ”

"Nonsense!"

Xu Nian slapped him on the back.

"Old-fashioned advertisements, did you read less when you were a child? Don't give me a whole job, be serious. ”

"Well, I didn't have any dreams growing up. The main thing is that I have rice at home, reasonable wishes, they can help me realize it, and I don't lack anything. ”

Xu Nian was speechless for a while.

This person, are you sure you're not here to show off?

"What about you, Xu Nian. Do you have any dreams? ”

"Me?"

Xu Nian reminisced about the past.

In elementary school, she wanted to be like a TV star and walk on a glamorous stage.

Later, when she went to junior high school, she saw the existence of the fan circle and turned to the second dimension, wanting to buy a wall of figurines and Gundam.

When I got to high school, I met Li Yu, came to the Carp Club, and after opening my eyes, my desire faded a lot, and I was a little confused for a while

"Not yet. If I have to say it, I want to finish high school early and get rid of the bitterness of going to class every day. ”

"Then let's work together to get the qualification of guarantee, and sit in front of the teaching building in the third year of high school to watch the other students review hard."

Xu Nian looked at Li Yu's slightly thin back, the corners of his mouth hooked up a gentle smile, and his eyes turned into crooked crescents.

For some reason, she loves the word "we" very much

"Okay, let's work together."

to force

The job of the store manager, which is the author's yy, does not exist at all
