Chapter 97 Touched
Since Ye Zhenzhen became the store manager, her working hours have been adjusted to eight hours. The specific working hours can be adjusted according to their own schedule, and the monthly rest time has been changed to four days.
Compared to being a shopping guide before, I have a lot more freedom over my working hours, but of course the pressure is also great, and my commission will be reduced if my performance does not meet the standards.
Wen Baijing is not here these days, and she works with the shopping guide in the store every day to make sales. Business is good in all industries at the end of the year, and for most salespeople, the key to a year's plan lies in winter.
Whether you have money to celebrate the New Year depends on this period at the end of the year.
The model in the window had just changed her clothes. She stood outside the store to check out the store displays, taking a few steps back from time to time and accidentally stepped on a foot.
Realizing that she had stepped on someone, she hurriedly apologized, moved her foot away and turned her body.
Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly took a few steps back. Before she could even look up to see who she had stepped on, she apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
"It's ok."
It was a very familiar voice, I knew it was someone I knew right away.
Ye Zhenzhen stood firm, raised her head slightly and took a closer look, revealing a faint smile, "It's you, Teacher Lin. I'm sorry I didn't notice you behind me. Did you get hurt?"
Lin Luoyu looked at her with a smile, his voice still gentle, "When will you notice that I'm behind you?"
"Huh?" Ye Zhenzhen was in a daze for a few seconds and looked at him in surprise.
"Zhenzhen." Xia Tong came back from the bathroom and called her from a distance with a smile.
Before Ye Zhenzhen could answer, Xia Tong had already jumped in front of the two of them.
"Who is this handsome guy?" Xia Tong tilted her head with an ambiguous smile and kept winking at Ye Zhenzhen.
It was obvious that Xia Tong misunderstood.
Ye Zhenzhen pulled her arm and explained with a faint smile: "This is a friend of mine, Teacher Lin."
He also introduced Xia Tong to Lin Yuluo.
The two greeted each other politely and nodded and smiled at each other.
Xia Tong looked at Lin Luoyu curiously, with admiration in her eyes, and excitedly pulled Ye Zhenzhen's arm.
"I'm going back to work first! Zhenzhen, you go ahead and do your work, I'll be in the store." Xia Tong's smile was self-evident, and she tried her best to create opportunities for the two of them.
After taking two steps, he turned back and said to Lin Luoyu: "Teacher Lin, our Zhenzhen has a lot of admirers!"
She looked like she was anxious to sell Ye Zhenzhen, but she wasn't so smart when it came to selling clothes.
Ye Zhenzhen stretched out her hand to push Xia Tong away, and said with a smile: "Go back to work quickly! Don't talk nonsense."
Lin Luoyu had a faint smile on his face and said nothing.
"Don't get me wrong, that's just her personality." Ye Zhenzhen smiled apologetically.
If she explained, it would seem like she was trying to cover up her sin, but if she didn't explain, she was afraid that Lin Luoyu would misunderstand her, which made Ye Zhenzhen feel torn.
"Are you busy now?" Lin Luoyu calmly changed the subject and asked, "Can we go have a drink together?"
Ye Zhenzhen looked back at the store. It wasn't too busy at the moment, so she could spare some time for a drink.
Seeing that Lin Luoyu seemed to have something to say, she agreed immediately.
In the coffee shop on the first floor, Ye Zhenzhen picked up a spoon and stirred the coffee.
Lin Luoyu asked gently: "Aren't you afraid of the bitterness of drinking American coffee?"
"Well, just get used to it." Ye Zhenzhen placed the coffee spoon in the cup and saucer and smiled faintly at him.
Lin Luoyu pushed his glasses and swallowed hard, as if he was making some kind of decision.
The tone of his voice was the same as usual. He looked at Ye Zhenzhen with a gentle gaze and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Ye Zhenzhen's expression froze a little bit, and she was stunned for a few seconds. After thinking it over, she decided to tell him the truth and said calmly: "I have a boyfriend."
Lin Luoyu sighed, his voice was very soft, he still maintained a decent smile, "It's abnormal for a beautiful girl like you to not have a boyfriend."
Ye Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment and smiled at him, "Teacher Lin, do you have a girlfriend? I know a lot of girls when I work in the mall. If..."
"Stop talking." Lin Luoyu rarely interrupted others. He lowered his eyes and whispered, "Ye Zhenzhen, please stop talking, okay?"
After a while, he spoke softly: "If I had spoken earlier, would we have had a chance?"
Ye Zhenzhen's throat was slightly choked, and she whispered softly: "Actually, you don't understand me. I'm not worthy of you."
Lin Luoyu smiled bitterly, but soon regained her composure and said to her, "You don't have to belittle yourself, Ye Zhenzhen, be more confident."
I was worried that Lin Luoyu wouldn’t believe it, and I was also afraid of delaying others.
Ye Zhenzhen looked him straight in the eye, and said with a smile on her face, "Well, thank you. I'll introduce my boyfriend to you when I get a chance."
Lin Luoyu's expression froze for a few seconds, then she suddenly came to her senses and smiled with relief: "Okay! I must meet your boyfriend when I have the chance and see who is so lucky to have such a beautiful woman."
"If you keep talking, I'll be embarrassed..."
After paying the bill, Ye Zhenzhen walked out of the cafe, but she didn't know that Lin Luoyu had been sitting in the chair for a long time without leaving.
Ye Zhenzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't understand whether all this was the result of fate or her own choice.
She didn't deny that at one point in the past, she had thought that Lin Luoyu was a good candidate for a husband.
Although Lin Luoyu always appeared in her critical moments, she had never developed any romantic feelings for him.
In every happy and sad moment, the voice and person she wanted to hear the most was no one else but Wen Baijing.
After get off work, Ye Zhenzhen took a taxi to Ye Mao's place.
Wang You's surgery went well, and she was discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home. She lay weakly on the bed, and her face still looked bad.
Ye Zhenzhen put the pile of chicken, duck, fish and meat she brought into the refrigerator and went to wash the fruit.
Wang You got up wrapped in his coat, walked to the kitchen door, and said weakly, "Sister, stop busying yourself, sit down and have a rest. You must be exhausted after a day's work, right?"
"I'm not tired, you should go back and lie down to rest." Ye Zhenzhen held the washed fruits and freed one hand to support Wang You.
The two of them talked as they walked.
Wang You smiled sweetly and complained, "It's okay, I've recovered well. Ye Mao is making a fuss. I think I'm almost ready to go to work, but he insisted that I stay at home and rest more."
There is no mess of poor couples, but the warmth and beauty of love and contentment.
Ye Zhenzhen put down the fruit plate and helped Wang You sit on the bed. She kept persuading Wang You not to think too much and to take care of his health.
As they were chatting, Ye Mao pushed open the door and walked in.
Seeing Ye Zhenzhen was a little surprised, he picked up a small piece of sugarcane and took a bite, then asked with a smile: "Sister, why are you here so late?"
Ye Zhenzhen held Wang You's hand and glanced at Ye Mao, "I'm worried about Wang You, so I took some time to come and see him."
Wang You reminded Ye Mao: "I bought a lot of food and put it in the refrigerator..."
"Thank you, sister." Ye Mao spat out the sugarcane residue, still looking the same as he did when he was a child, and smiled foolishly at Ye Zhenzhen.
"I'm not used to being so polite. Can you please speak nicely?" Ye Zhenzhen patted Ye Mao on the forehead, a little uncomfortable with her brother's politeness.
"Sister, I want to tell you something." Ye Mao put down the sugar cane and said seriously, "Wang You and I have decided to open a small restaurant, and we have already found a location."
Ye Zhenzhen spoke without thinking, surprised: "Where do you get so much money? Where is the store located? How much is the rent? What kind of cuisine do you specialize in?"
People like Ye Mao who have never run a business think that everything will be fine as long as they open a store. Site selection, customer positioning and rent are also very important. Opening a store is only the first step, and how to keep it running is the most difficult.
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but worry, fearing that Ye Mao and the other man would be cheated due to their impulse.
Ye Mao and Wang You exchanged glances, coughed twice and said, "Sister, don't worry. Wang You has enough money, just come over for a meal on the opening day."
It was equivalent to the two of them having made the decision long ago and just notified Ye Zhenzhen without any intention of discussing it with her.
It turned out that her brother had grown up quietly without her noticing. He was no longer the silly boy who would take the initiative to discuss things with her, nor was he the silly boy who could not hide anything.
I feel relieved but also a little disappointed.
Ye Zhenzhen left 20,000 yuan before she left. When Wang You was sick, the Ye family didn't pay a penny. It's really hard to understand.
Ye Mao chased her out and returned the money to her, saying that the money was enough and asked her not to worry.
The brother and sister refused for a long time, but Ye Zhenzhen still left the money to her brother.
In the ordinary daily life, the beautiful love of relying on each other and sharing weal and woe is actually around us, just waiting for people to discover it. It may be hidden in the fireworks-filled village in the city, or strolling in the hustle and bustle of the bustling city.
She suddenly missed Wen Baijing very much.
