Chapter 11 The Guests in the Shop
"Hello, what would you like to drink?"
Behind Chaoge's bar, the clerk wearing heavy glasses looked at the young woman in a casual dress in front of him, with a professional smile on his face, but his heart was full of slander.
Originally, the business in the store was average, and it was still a weekday morning, and I was about to take a nap when I ran in a customer, and it didn't look like there was any good coffee in the store.
"Do you have any recommendations in the store?" The woman looked curiously at the shop.
"Vanilla latte bar, our boss's favorite." The clerk replied casually. Anyway, the coffee I make doesn't taste any different, and everything I drink is the same.
"Let's have a vanilla latte." The woman followed the advice and opened the mobile phone payment code, "Is your boss in the store now?" ”
The clerk quickly scanned the code and turned around to find the coffee beans that I didn't know where to put them last night.
"I should still be sleeping upstairs, it's only ten o'clock at this time, and our boss usually doesn't get up until noon."
"Do you sleep until noon every day?" The woman asked curiously.
"Almost, unless it's something in the morning, he won't get up, he never has a morning." The clerk glanced at the woman, "Does Miss know our boss?" ”
The woman tilted her head and said with a smile: "It's considered an acquaintance, we just had dinner together last week." ”
"Blind date?" The clerk suddenly became interested.
The woman thought for a moment and nodded.
"That's pretty rare, I thought our boss liked men." The clerk was a little surprised.
"Why do you say that?"
The clerk stopped what he was doing, took two steps out of the bar, stretched out his head to look at the staircase, and after making sure that there was no one, he came back and whispered: "I've been in this store for three years, except for Xia Xia, I haven't seen the boss say a few words to other women, and there are good-looking women coming to the store, and the boss doesn't even bother to look at it."
Our boss looks pretty handsome, right? There are a lot of little girls who talk to him and he doesn't pay attention, he doesn't even have a mobile phone, and he doesn't make friends, you say, this must be not interested in women. ”
"Maybe you haven't met a favorite genre yet?" The woman guessed, "Maybe he believes in love at first sight, and he is interested in it." But if you really like men, it's quite exciting. ”
Women have always had a strange sense of excitement about things between men and men.
"So, you've already fallen in love with our boss at first sight?"
"It's not like it's true, but I think this person is very interesting, as if he is a little out of touch with this society, and he is still living in the last century." The woman described.
The clerk nodded again and again, "It's not, it's 2022, and there are still people who don't use mobile phones." No, not only a mobile phone, but also an electronic device, I saw that the upstairs where he lived was a kerosene lamp from the last century, and a young man made himself as deep and nostalgic as an old man of seventy or eighty years old. ”
"But I still advise you, try not to be too interested in him, I really think he doesn't seem to have any idea about feelings at all, even a girl as good-looking as Xia Xia walks around him every day, he can be unmoved."
"The Xia Xia you are talking about, is she also a person in this store?" Hearing this name for the second time, the woman was inevitably a little curious.
"That's right, Xia Xia is another boss in this store, the big boss never cares about the decoration and operation of the store, and it is Xia Xia who is responsible for the business of the store.
Although Xia Xia is only a student who has just entered college, her brain is turning quite fast, and if this store doesn't have her, it is estimated that she will not make a penny. ”
"Although they were all losing money." The clerk thought for a moment and added.
"Then what is the relationship between her and your boss, is it a relative, or a cooperative relationship?"
"It's adoption." The clerk thought for a moment and replied, "I heard that Xia Xia's parents died in a car accident when she was a child, and she was later sent to an orphanage.
After staying in the orphanage for less than two years, he was adopted by his boss, and he has been until now. Speaking of which, our boss is a good man. ”
"Is she pretty?" The woman said thoughtfully.
"If she comes down in a while, you can take a look, she was rated as the top of the list of school flowers in major colleges and universities in Jiangbei as soon as she went to college, and she is still a beauty without makeup, how can she be like us ordinary people, who wear a layer of makeup on her face every day and don't look good."
The clerk sighed, but soon saw the professional makeup on the face of the woman opposite out of the corner of his eye, and quickly explained: "Hey, I'm talking about us ordinary people, Miss, you are also a rare beauty, and the return rate when walking on the street is definitely not low." ”
The woman smiled, not paying attention to the clerk's words, but becoming more curious about the girl named Xia Xia.
"With such a good-looking girl by your side, aren't your bosses tempted?"
"It's not, that's why I think he doesn't like women, chasing Xia Xia every day, and the men who come to the store to give gifts can line up from the south of the city to the north of the city, and if I were a man, I would also chase it, but the person with the most opportunity didn't do anything." The clerk chimed in.
"Sister Xie, what are you talking about me?"
On the stairs not far away, the girl seemed to have just woken up, her voice was a little hazy, and she was still yawning.
The woman followed the sound, and at the corner of the stairs, a girl in a pink bear pajama held a half-human-tall pink bear doll in her arms, looking sleepily at the hall downstairs.
The girl looks very youthful, she should not have put on makeup when she just woke up, but the fairness of the skin on her face is already better than that of most women with thick foundation, with a perfectly curved goose egg face, frowning but still able to see big eyes, delicate facial features are like the heroine in Japanese comics, and with bright red long hair, not only does it not look gorgeous, but there is a sense of story about a bad girl in high school in the novel.
"What else can I say, isn't it just to praise you for your beauty." Sister Xie handed the coffee that had been mixed in her hand to the woman in front of her, "Add a little ice, it will taste better." ”
"Thank you."
The woman nodded, turned and walked to the hall and sat down at a random table.
"Then I'm so impressed." The girl pursed her lips, rubbed her eyes and walked to the bar, "It's rare to have customers this morning, it seems that our store is really developing in a good direction." ”
Sister Xie leaned over and whispered, "It seems that she is coming for the boss." ”
"It's not surprising that when he goes out for a walk like this, a little girl can be attracted to him, and sometimes I really want to take him to the street to shop more and attract some customers to the store." Su saw that Xia was not surprised.
"But I heard her say that she just had a blind date with her boss last week."
"What? Do you think an old man would do such a thing? I...... Well? Wait a minute, blind date? Su Jianxia suddenly sobered up a little in the middle of speaking, "Ah yes, it seems that there is really such a thing, doesn't it mean that the woman didn't take a fancy to him, why did she chase him directly to the store." ”
"It seems like love at first sight, right?" Sister Xie recalled.
"It's 2202 years and I'm still playing here and falling in love at first sight, I don't look young anymore." Su Jianxia pretended to look at it casually, "It's okay, I'll meet her." ”
Su Jianxia looked down at his dress, ran back upstairs with Xiong three or two steps, and walked down the stairs again after about twenty minutes.
Sister Xie helped her glasses and wiped the lenses again.
The innocent female college student who was still wearing the bear pajamas just now had changed into a smart white shirt and hip-wrapping skirt, and her hair was curled out of the original high ponytail with a curling iron and several wavy curls draped behind her.
I've seen a lot of Su Jianxia wearing casual daily clothes, loose tops and short skirts and shorts, at most, the exposed legs can be seen to be evenly thick and flawless, 170+ height plus perfect body proportions, the advantages of the legs are particularly obvious, and no man on the street will not look back.
But today, after changing into this slightly mature dress, Sister Xie realized how good her figure was that she had been hiding under those loose clothes. Few people can maintain the size of their waist and legs in the case of lordosis and backward curl, but it is precisely because the waist and legs are thin that they are more lordosis and backward, and the two complement each other.
If those little boys saw it on weekdays, it is estimated that everyone who came to the store to drink coffee would have to line up at the intersection at this time.
What does this mean, seeing that the other party is this style and also comes up with the same style to deal with? Before we even talked about it, I already smelled the smell of gunpowder.
Thinking of this, Sister Xie silently took two steps back.
"Hello, Miss Xu, my name is Su Jianxia, it's the first time we meet, please advise."
Xu Chenxi, who heard the voice, put down his mobile phone, raised his head and saw a Su Jianxia with a completely different style from just now, his eyes widened, and after a while, he reacted and held Su Jianxia's outstretched hand, "Hello, Miss Su, do you know my name?" ”
"I heard it when Sister Wang introduced it before, and Sister Wang is right, Miss Xu is really a rare beauty." Su Jianxia sat opposite unceremoniously, looking Xu Chenxi up and down.
"If I heard this sentence before, I might have been happy, but now in front of Miss Su, I don't dare to agree with the statement that I am a beauty." Xu Chenxi said sincerely.
I was a high school girl in the manga just now, and now I'm a mature urban woman, and although I'm still a teenage girl's face, my overly well-developed body just makes up for it.
"Miss Xu is here to find my uncle?" Su Jianxia got straight to the point.
"Your uncle?" Xu Chenxi was stunned.
"It's the owner of this shop, Wei Ziqi, because he's much older than me, so he's called uncle." Su Jianxia explained, "The result of the blind date last time seems that Miss Xu is quite satisfied with him? ”
Xu Chenxi thought for a while, "I can't say that I am completely satisfied, I can only say that this person in the process is really interesting, and he happened to pass by here today, so I will take a look at what kind of store he opened." ”
"That's a bit of a pity, you can't see the owner's personality and preferences in this shop." Su Jianxia squinted and smiled: "Because the decoration of the store is all according to my preferences." ”
Xu Chenxi glanced at the pink bear stickers that could be seen everywhere in the store, "It can be seen that people like him probably won't like pink bears either." ”
"Miss Xu means that you want to get to know my uncle more?"
"The two of us should have reached marriageable age, and the number of blind dates I've been on is actually not small, and I rarely meet someone who is interested."
Su Jianxia raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by Xu Chenxi's straightforwardness.
Although she is very confident in herself, Xu Chenxi is also a rare type among ordinary people, wearing a loose casual long skirt that can't hide her curves, with a little light makeup on her face, and a kind of leadership style of a successful person.
"Miss Xu, are you sure that your uncle is also interested in you?"
"He's a really strange guy, and I can't see his attitude or emotions at all." Xu Chenxi paused, and then continued, "So I decided to come over and have a look, and maybe I can get to know him if I get in touch with him again." ”
Su Jianxia frowned without a trace, "He's not someone who can understand after contacting him." ”
"But if you don't get in touch, you will never know if you will have a chance to understand, and if you contact him a few times, he will find that he is interested in me? Even if I wasn't interested, I tried it, and the result didn't matter. Xu Chenxi looked at the girl in front of her, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Su Jianxia opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
"Since Miss Xu has made up her mind, let's wait here, he won't get up until noon."
"It's okay, I'm resting today, I don't have anything to do, the environment here is very good, and it's relaxing to sit here."
Su saw that Xia stopped talking, stood up with a straight face, and staggered back upstairs.
Xu Chenxi realized that she was also wearing a pair of high heels that didn't fit well.
For people who have to work on time and on time every day, the time to go to work is always spent minute by minute, but the time to relax is inadvertently passed by hour by hour.
So soon it was more than twelve o'clock at noon, and when Xu Chenxi was thinking about whether to go to eat first, a familiar figure appeared at the corner of the stairs.
Similar to Su Jianxia, who had just woken up, Wei Ziqi also yawned and walked down the stairs with a sleepy face, but he had already changed his clothes, Xu Chenxi wondered if he still looked so sleepy after sleeping, whether he didn't sleep at all last night.
"Boss, that young lady over there has been waiting for you for three hours." Seeing that Wei Ziqi didn't even look at the hall, Sister Xie couldn't help but remind.
Wei Ziqi was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look over, Xu Chenxi was tilting his head and stretched out his hand to greet him.
Wei Ziqi hesitated for a moment, walked to the other side of the table in front of Xu Chenxi, and said with a puzzled expression, "Hello, are you looking for me?" ”
"You don't remember me, do you?" Xu Chenxi was a little surprised.
"I'm sorry, I don't have a good memory when I'm older......" Wei Ziqi looked at the slightly familiar face in front of him, he looked a little dull on the surface, but he was going through all the women he knew in his mind, but none of them could match the face in front of him.
Xu Chenxi gasped, "We just had dinner together last week, Japanese food, introduced by Sister Wang." ”
Wei Ziqi's eyes were in a trance, and he reacted after a long time, "Ah, it's you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've really had a bad memory lately." ”
"Then you don't remember my name, do you?"
Wei Ziqi was a little embarrassed and chose not to speak.
Xu Chenxi only felt a little angry and funny, and then took out a notebook and a pen from his bag, turned a page and wrote down his name, and handed it to Wei Ziqi.
"I'll tell you this for the last time, put it away, I'll be angry if I don't remember next time."
Wei Ziqi took the note, glanced at it and silently put it in his pocket.
"Miss Xu came to me specifically?"
"You can't just come for coffee." Xu Chenxi commented, "The coffee in your store is indeed much better than the other coffees I have drunk, but I definitely won't run for coffee." ”
"Oh yes, I told you last time I had a meal, I like fruit tea."
"Is there anything wrong with Miss Xu?" Wei Ziqi asked.
"I can't come to you if it's okay?" Xu Chenxi rolled her eyes, "Deepen your understanding with my blind date, is this reason okay?" ”
Wei Ziqi immediately closed his mouth, because he felt a little cold behind him.
Xu Chenxi tilted his body, looked around Wei Ziqi, and saw Su Jianxia leaning on the railing of the stairs behind him, his face was not very friendly.
The girl who was still mature just now has now changed into a black JK uniform, and her long burgundy hair is no longer casually draped behind her, but tied up in a high ponytail.
"Why, you won't be controlled by a little girl, will you?" Xu Chenxi raised her eyebrows.
"Not really, I just don't know how to answer." Wei Zi Kai said honestly, "I really don't have any experience in this area. ”
"It's okay, I have the experience, I can teach you, you just need to provide the time."
Although it was a word of active development, Xu Chenxi looked at Su Jianxia and said.
Without having to turn his head, Wei Ziqi could feel the murderous gaze of the girl behind him, and his brain quickly thought about how to answer this sentence, and it would definitely not work if he didn't reply, but if he returned, he had no similar experience, and he couldn't find a way not to offend both sides at all.
At this moment, a bell suddenly broke the embarrassing situation, and Sister Xie behind the bar also shouted in time, "Boss, the phone is ringing." ”
"I'll answer the phone first." Wei Ziqi didn't look back after the next sentence, so he ran to the bar in three or two steps, picked up the phone and wiped the sweat on his head by the way.
Caught between two women, the situation is even more dangerous than the confrontation with a god in ancient times.
"Hello, Mr. Wei, I'm Hu Shouyu, can you come to Tongzhou, I'm really desperate."
A weak voice came from the other side of the phone, and Wei Ziqi frowned, and it took a while to remember the man who had been to the store last week.
