Chapter 8 Blind Date
"Xia Xia, I'll get off work first." The bespectacled girl behind the wooden bar checked her bag again, made sure she had everything with her, and beckoned to the tall ponytail girl sitting in the lobby watching the show.
Su saw that Xia didn't raise her head, and waved her hand behind her, and she couldn't be distracted by anything when she was highly concentrated on watching the drama.
The clerks in the store have always worked from 9 to 6 in the morning, and usually in the evening, Su Jianxia and Wei Ziqi come to the store in person.
On this street full of Luckin, Starbucks and Cudi, Chaoge's business is not very good, except for some literary and artistic young people who have nothing to do to pass the time, basically three or four people can sit in the store on weekdays, and the performance is good.
Although there are not many customers in the store, it seems that they are losing money every day, but the salary standard of the clerks is the highest on this street, they can get more than 10,000 yuan a month, they sleep and watch dramas most of the time they go to work, and the boss looks as good-looking as a Korean boy group.
"Hello, I'd like to come and see Mr. Wei Ziqi."
The clerk who had just pushed the door and was about to go out was stunned for a moment, looked at the thin man in front of him, didn't think too much, and pointed inside, "Looking for our boss, I'm going to get off work, you go and ask the girl who watched the drama inside." ”
"Okay, thanks." The man bent down and nodded, stretched out his hand to push open the door for the clerk, and waited until the clerk went out before carefully letting go of the door and walking to the girl who was watching the drama.
"Hello, Miss, does Mr. Wei Ziqi live here?" The man bent down slightly and asked softly.
Su saw that Xia was engrossed in watching the wonderful scenes in the play, and he didn't notice that someone was talking beside him.
The man hesitated, coughed twice, and tapped lightly on the table.
"Huh? Hello, what would you like to drink? Su Jianxia noticed that a guest came in, and he pressed the tablet a little reluctantly.
"Hello, I'm not here for coffee, I'm here to find someone."
"Who are you looking for?" Su Jianxia looked the man in front of him up and down, his messy hair seemed to have not been combed for a long time, he was wearing CK's short sleeves crookedly, and there were a small amount of oil stains on his clothes, it looked like he had taken a piece of clothing and put it on, and he was carrying a black backpack behind him, which seemed to contain something that was not light, and the man's waist was a little unstraight.
The man was a little short, and Su Jian Xia Gao, who was not wearing flat shoes when he stood up, had a dull yellow face and a beard that had not been trimmed for several days.
It can be seen from his dress, words and deeds that he should be a person with good family conditions, and now that he is down like this, it should be that something happened to his family.
"I'm looking for Mr. Wei Zi Kai, I heard that he is the owner of this shop." The man replied, "I have something I would like to ask Mr. Wei to help me with." ”
Expected answer.
"You didn't come at the right time, he's not in the store right now." Su Jianxia shook his head.
The man was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly became a little flustered, but he still calmly asked, "Can the young lady tell me where Mr. Wei went, I can go to him." ”
"You just wait in the store, and I'll be back when it's dark." Su Jianxia looked at the sun that was about to set outside, and motioned for the man to sit down casually, "He went on a blind date, it should be over soon." ”
"Phase...... Kiss? The man opened his mouth, as if surprised.

Fusu Road, Heixi cuisine.
It's a well-known chain of Japanese restaurants, and the atmosphere is full of Japanese style, with colorful lanterns with Japanese written on them, and the waiters are all dressed in kimonos and can even speak a few words of Japanese.
Although it is a chain store, this store is already one of the more expensive Japanese restaurants in Jiangbei.
The price of three or four thousand per capita has already dissuaded most people, and most of the people sitting here to eat are rich second generations with a little money in their families, with their little girlfriends, intentionally or unintentionally showing their economic strength higher than their peers. Or some lovers of Japanese food, the family conditions are not bad, and you can often eat your favorite things here.
"Wei Zi Kai? It's the first time I've seen the surname Wei, which is a bit like the name of the male protagonist of the novel. The woman in the formal dress took a sip of the sake in front of her, and looked at the man opposite with some curiosity, "Are you really thirty years old?" Looking like a college student in her early twenties, Sister Wang won't find a little boy to fool me, right? I'm not a brother or sister. ”
"I'm '92." Wei Ziqi was a little unnatural, constantly scanning the surrounding environment, fidgeting.
Originally, he was napping in the sun on the recliner at the entrance of the store in the afternoon, when suddenly Sister Wang, the proprietress of the clothing store diagonally opposite his store, suddenly mysteriously approached him and asked tentatively, "Xiaowei, how old are you this year?" ”
"Thirty." Wei Ziqi sat up straight, looking at the smiling middle-aged woman in front of him, with some bad premonitions.
Sister Wang is a recognized matchmaker on Fusu Road, a seventy-year-old lonely widow who went to an antique shop, and an eighteen-year-old intern who went down to a script killing shop, all of whom Sister Wang introduced with the reason of "I met a particularly good girl/boy two days ago".
In this era when blind dates are gradually abandoned by young people, Sister Wang still has a lot of achievements, and successfully matched one pair after another on the street, and even the clerk surnamed Xie in her store was "coaxed" by Sister Wang to fall in love with the fourth son of the sister-in-law who is said to be the third brother-in-law of her second aunt's family.
Wei Ziqi remembered that the young man was indeed more than 185 tall, but when he saw someone, he would only scratch his head and "hehe" and smirk, looking like he was simple-minded and had developed limbs, but he was so fascinated by the little girl that half of his monthly salary was spent on this young man.
"Thirty, that's not small, have you ever considered starting a family?" Sister Wang took two steps closer.
"Huh? That Sister Wang, I think it's better for me to work hard for my career now, and I haven't considered starting a family for the time being......"
Sister Wang waved her hand, "What are these words, your age is in our hometown, and the children have begun to go to elementary school, Xiaowei, Sister Wang will tell you a heart-wrenching word, every day in the neighborhood, Sister Wang sees that you are always alone, and I am anxious for you."
Tell me, your growth is not bad, the conditions are not bad, if you don't find someone who knows cold and hot to start a family, there will be no market if you wait. ”
"Sister Wang, look at it, I'm still thirty years old and alone, no one must be able to look down on me, no money, no house, no car, there is no benefit at all with me, I can't bear to harm the current girl." The neutrino starts the color path.
"That Xiao Xie in your store told me that you are always rich, but what is that...... Wealth is not exposed! Yes, that's the word. Sister Wang looked around, and whispered mysteriously, "Xiaowei, Sister Wang has a distant relative, that little girl is called a water spirit, oops, she graduated from a famous university, and now she works in that Weihai Group, a large company of the world's top 500 companies, and she can earn five or six hundred thousand yuan a year, that is, the relationship between the two of us, I won't introduce him to such a good girl if I change it to someone else." ”
"Sister Wang, you said it, other girls' conditions are so good, but I am a junior high school graduate, I have never been to high school, and I still open a small coffee shop, I am losing money every month, and I am not as good as other people's top 500, no matter how I look at it, I am not worthy of others." Wei Zi Qi sighed heavily.
"Xiaowei, how can a man see himself clearly, don't worry, your condition sister has told that girl, you don't know, people are quite satisfied with you, every day I am urging me when I can meet you, other girls are so positive, how bad it is for you to twist and pinch again." Sister Wang said with a serious face.
Weizi opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer for a while.
"Sister Wang, uncle, what are you talking about?"
A familiar voice came, and Wei Ziqi hurriedly looked at Su Jianxia, who happened to come from school, and quietly moved two steps to the side.
"Yo, Xiao Xia is out of school, it's nothing, I'm helping your uncle solve the big things in his life." Sister Wang looked Su Jianxia up and down with a smile, "Xiao Xia, I remember that you turned eighteen some time ago, right?" I think I'm ready to fall in love. ”
Su Jianxia probably knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and quickly changed the topic, "Sister Wang, have you introduced someone to my uncle?" ”
"Yes, your uncle is not young anymore, Sister Wang has been with your neighbors for so many years, and she has long wanted to give him Zhang Luo, come, you see, this girl is it." Sister Wang took out her mobile phone and repeated what she had just said to Wei Ziqi.
Wei Zi Kai breathed a sigh of relief, and finally came to the rescue.
But after Su Jianxia looked at the photo and discussed it with Sister Wang in a whisper, she said with a serious face: "Uncle, I also think this girl is good, why don't you try it?" ”
Wei Ziqi froze in place, turning his neck stiffly, with a look of disbelief.
"Don't say it's Sister Wang, even if the two of us have been together for so long, I'm worried about your love life every day, I look good at this girl introduced by Sister Wang, I think it's still necessary for you to meet with others." Su Jianxia bit his lip when he said the last few words, for fear that he couldn't help laughing.
"I ......" Wei Ziqi opened her mouth.
"Don't hesitate, go now, go right away! Sister Wang, tell that girl, this kind of thing is not too late, or tonight, right? Su Jianxia gave orders to the two of them at the same time.
"Huh? Okay, I'll get in touch with her now. Sister Wang was also stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and took out her mobile phone, "Hey, Xiao Xu, do you remember the ...... I told you last time?"
"No, what are you doing?" Wei Ziqi was a little caught off guard.
Su Jianxia blinked innocently, "I'm helping you solve lifelong matters, uncle, who is in his thirties, if you don't fall in love, I will think that you like Lu Ling's man." ”
Wei Zikai closed his mouth, his face as ugly as if he had eaten a dead fly.
"Xiaowei, Sister Wang has made an appointment for you, at six o'clock tonight, the girl came over after work, and the two of you happened to have a meal together to cultivate and cultivate feelings." Sister Wang's eyebrows fluttered.
"Okay, Sister Wang, thank you so much." Su Jianxia replied first, "If the two of them become successful, they will definitely have to give you a big red envelope when they get married." ”
When Sister Wang heard this, she couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and waved her hand again and again: "Where is this, Sister Wang is really worried about you young people, and it has nothing to do with whether you have money or not." ”
"Yes, yes, thanks to Sister Wang, you are beautiful and kind." Su Jianxia complimented.
"Look, it's still young people who can talk." Sister Wang suddenly remembered something, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Su, what type of boy do you like, Sister Wang helps you find and search, I have a lot of resources here." ”
"I like women." Su saw that Xia Mian did not change color.
"That's there, I'll tell you...... Yes? Sister Wang's smile condensed on her face, and she involuntarily took a step back, "This ...... I don't really know much about this at the moment. ”
"It's okay, Sister Wang, then I'll talk about it later, it's the right thing to help my uncle first." Su Jianxia smiled and said.
"Yes, yes, one by one." Sister Wang looked a little unnatural, "Since we have all made an appointment, then I will leave first, Xiaowei, don't forget, six o'clock in the evening." ”
"Okay, Sister Wang, don't worry, I'll remind him." Su Jianxia waved her hand at Sister Wang, not giving Wei Ziqi a chance to speak.
——
"I'm 95, I can't tell you're three years older than me." The woman tilted her head and said with a smile: "My name is Xu Chenxi, I graduated from Jiangbei University, I am 168 tall and weigh 105, and now I am doing financial work in Weihai Group, with an annual income of about 200,000 yuan, and I have an older brother and a sister at home, and my parents are both working in state-owned enterprises. ”
Seeing that Wei Ziqi was a little stunned, Xu Chenxi said curiously: "It seems that you have come out on a blind date for the first time." ”
"That's right." Wei Ziqi nodded.
"Then you should ask me some other questions you want to know now."
Wei Ziqi thought about it seriously and replied, "I don't seem to have anything to ask. ”
Xu Chenxi nodded, "Then it's your turn." ”
"Huh?"
"Introduce yourself, at least the ones I just said." Xu Chenxi was a little helpless.
"Ahh
Born in 92, Wei Ziqi, graduated from junior high school, height 184 weight 140, opened a coffee shop by himself, made ends meet, single, no brothers and sisters. Wei Zi Qi replied stiffly.
"You're pretty honest." Xu Chenxi was a little surprised, "Sister Wang told me that you graduated from a famous university and opened a store with an annual income of one million, although she can only believe half of her words, but I didn't expect you to be so honest." ”
"Even if this kind of thing is a lie, sooner or later it will be exposed."
"That's different, you can deceive me first, and then tell me the truth when I fall in love with you and can't do without you, then I can't run away when I get on your thief ship." Xu Chenxi blinked, "I think I'm still quite in love." ”
Wei Ziqi was dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"I thought you'd turn around and walk away when you heard about these conditions."
"The rent on Fusu Road is not cheap, there are about 400,000 yuan a year, and you can open a store on this road for ten years that can't make ends meet, I don't believe you if you want to say that you don't have money." Xu Chenxi said with a smile.
“...... You're pretty good at detail. Wei Ziqi was a little helpless.
"What, am I not good-looking? Didn't satisfy Mr. Wei. Xu Chenxi asked directly.
Wei Ziqi was stunned for a moment, "That's not it, Miss Xu is very good-looking." ”
Xu Chenxi in front of her can indeed be regarded as one of the best beauties on the street, but there is a good-looking one in her own home, so that Wei Ziqi doesn't have much feeling for the girl's appearance anymore.
"It's just that I don't want it yet...... The idea of falling in love. Wei Ziqi told the truth, "Sister Wang, you should also know that I really can't resist her......"
"Oh~" Xu Chenxi had an understanding expression, "I understand, I understand, but since I'm here, let's eat first, the tuna sushi in this restaurant is a must in Jiangning." ”
Wei Ziqi nodded, relieved.
"Let's add a WeChat first, so as not to be verbose when Sister Wang asks." Xu Chenxi took out his mobile phone.
"Ah, I don't have a cell phone."
"No, big brother, even if you refuse me, I'll find a better reason, it's 2022, and there are still people who don't have mobile phones?" Xu Chenxi rolled her eyes.
"It's not that I refuse, I really don't use a mobile phone, and I don't usually have anyone to contact." Wei Zi Qi thought for a moment and said.
"Don't you have any friends, brother or sister? Parents and relatives? ”
Wei Ziqi shook his head, "In this world now, the people who have a relationship with me are long gone, and I have been alone for many years. ”
"It's not strict to say that, I adopted a little girl in an orphanage a long time ago, and now I live in the store."
Xu Chenxi was a little surprised, looked at the man in front of him in a daze, and sighed after a moment, "It's hard to imagine what you've experienced in your life, but I'm getting more and more curious about you."
Sister Wang told me about your store before, what is it called? Chao Song? ”
Wei Ziqi nodded.
"I have the impression that it seems to be the capital of the ancient Yin Shang Dynasty, it seems to be a not very good dynasty, why do you want to call it this name?"
Wei Ziqi looked at the desktop and was silent for a while before he whispered, "Because the most real me is buried there." ”
"Such literary and artistic words are not like what a person with a junior high school education can say." Xu Chenxi picked up a piece of sushi and took a bite, "You are different from the men I met before, I am quite interested in you, can I go to your store for coffee if I have the chance?" ”
Wei Ziqi couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he could only nod.
"Then it's settled." Xu Chenxi smiled and put down the remaining half of the sushi, "I forgot to tell you, I lose weight and I usually don't eat at night, so I'll leave the rest here to you, and I'll leave first." ”
"Uh-huh?" Wei Ziqi didn't react for a while, and when he raised his head again, Xu Chenxi only left him with a back carrying a bag.

"Sir, are you in a hurry?" Su Jianxia glanced at the clock on the wall, it was just after nine o'clock, and the man sitting at the door wiped the sweat on his forehead from time to time, a little restless.
"Huh? Ah, no, no, I'm just a little hot. The man seemed taken aback, and then quickly explained.
Su Jianxia looked at the air conditioning display on the wall: 20 degrees.
"I suggest you put that thing away from you." Su Jianxia shook his head, picked up the tablet and pressed the play button, "Since it's all here, there's no need to hold it in your arms all the time, it will only make you die faster." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, looked at the backpack in his arms, and looked back at Su Jianxia, "Miss, can you tell what is in this?" ”
Su Jianxia didn't look up, just waved his hand.
"If this thing is put somewhere else, I'm afraid it will entangle other people." The man hesitated for a moment but said.
"There aren't many people in this store, especially at this point, and they don't come to customers." Su Jianxia said casually, "What's more, here, it doesn't dare to come out." ”
"Miss mean, there's a way to get rid of this thing?" The man was pleasantly surprised.
Su Jianxia lowered his head to watch the drama and didn't speak again.
The man opened his mouth, but he still didn't dare to ask again, and after thinking about it, he carefully picked up his backpack and put it on a table a little farther away.
Putting down the backpack and taking two steps back, the man was relieved to see that there was no vision, and turned around to return to the position he had just placed.
"I guess it took a lot of effort to find this kind of thing."
The man was startled, only to realize that there was a slender young man in the store at some point, and the man didn't even look at him, and walked straight to the bar.
"Uncle, how about a blind date? Did that Miss Xu fall in love with you with all her heart? Su Jianxia pressed the tablet and asked with a malicious expression.
"Well, it's not bad, I got engaged to the wedding by the way during the meal." Weizi starts a serious way.
"Oh, that's good, it looks like I can only wish you happiness, I'll move back to school now and leave my home to you." Su Jianxia wiped the corners of his eyes with his hand, but there was a smile on his face that could not be hidden.
Wei Ziqi propped his hands on the bar and raised his chin, "It's good to go." ”
Su Jianxia snorted, but still couldn't help laughing regardless of the image.
Wei Ziqi rolled her eyes, not wanting to talk to her at all.
"Hello, are you Mr. Wei?"
The man who had been standing next to him waited for the opportunity to interject quickly.
Wei Ziqi glanced at the time, "Tell me, how did you get that thing." ”
