Chapter 48:

The popularity of convenience stores far exceeded Jiang Jinjin's expectations.

She didn't expect Xu Zheng's fans to have such a strong purchasing power. In just a few hours, almost all the items on the shelves were emptied. Many people came here to check in, and the guests also came in waves. Soon, Jiang Jinjin and Xu Congjian were too busy to come. Just when Jiang Jinjin was busy and sweating profusely, Zhou Yan came to the convenience store like heaven and bent over to carry the cardboard boxes.

The little girls all exclaimed when they saw Zhou Yan's face.

It was summer vacation and many students were free. After seeing Xu Zheng's Weibo, some sharp-eyed fans quickly found this Weiwei convenience store. I originally wanted to punch the idol in the same style, but I didn't expect an unexpected surprise! The two employees of this store look good, and their looks are not inferior to the current traffic stars, so that the sisters have a feast for their eyes. Although Zhou Yan's skin color was darker visible to the naked eye, he was still dazzling in the crowd.

Of course, what surprised them even more is that the owner of this house is also very good-looking! People are so nice!

Many men don't understand women. In fact, most sisters love to see beautiful women more than handsome men.

Three people with good looks are a beautiful landscape in the convenience store.

There was a small electric fan hanging around Jiang Jinjin's neck. She was afraid of heat. The convenience store was air-conditioned, but she was still sweating. She came to Zhou Yan and asked him, "Why are you here?" "

Zhou Yan has been moving goods in the company during this period and has gained some strength. There is no problem with moving a few large cardboard boxes by himself. He glanced at her, "Don't think too much, the salary should not be less than one hundred and five. ."

Jiang Jinjin: "..."

what happened! How did the hero's madness of spending money like dirt and treating money as nothingness disappeared!

He talked about money no matter how he opened his mouth!

Zhou Yan explained: "There are not many goods to be moved every day at the company."

In fact, he took the initiative to call the company today.

Anyway, there are many porters, and they don't have a lot of goods every day, so there is no big difference between them.

"Oh, oh." Jiang Jinjin nodded and blinked at him, "Don't worry, you can do the same. I will give you two hundred a day. Isn't it very generous?"

Zhou Yan: "I don't know what the word generous means anymore."

The relationship between the two ran in a strange direction without knowing it.

If they are friends, that is not the case. After all, the two are the relationship between the stepson and the stepmother.

Maybe they will redefine this relationship.

The business of the convenience store today was so good that it exploded. Jiang Jinjin finally felt what it was like to be busy and happy. Listening to the sweet voice of the cash register, she began to understand why Zhou Mingfeng had not been short of money over the years, but still wanted to To expand in the business area. This feeling is really great. Jiang Jinjin guessed that Xu Zheng's Weibo might have something to do with Su Siyue. After all, Su Siyue did pack a few oden dishes yesterday, and it was very coincidental that the two had a common itinerary yesterday.

Jiang Jinjin thought for a while, but still didn't plan to ask Su Siyue.

Because this would be very abrupt, perhaps Su Siyue didn't want to be known about her relationship with Xu Zheng, and she had only met Su Siyue once, and was not familiar at all. If this is the case, don't cause trouble to others.

At the end of the day, Zhou Yan and Xu Congjian were very strong, Jiang Jinjin was so tired that her waist was almost unable to straighten up, and the two of them still looked very cheerful.

Jiang Jinjin couldn't help but sighed: "Young people have good energy."

Although she is only ten years older than them, she has already felt the difference in physical strength.

Jiang Jinjin ordered a takeaway. While waiting for the takeaway to be delivered, she sat on a high stool and started to calculate today's turnover with a calculator, smiling broadly.

Be good.

Today is one day worth a month.

If business is so good every day, then she can consider opening a branch in less than two months.

She looked like a fan of money falling into a rice tank, Zhou Yan was speechless, and whispered to Xu Congjian: "I don't know, I thought my family was too poor to open the pot."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yan thought in time: It seemed that his father was a bit stingy with her.

Xu Congjian has a light smile on his face, "Mrs. Jiang is also very good like this."

Always full of vitality.

No matter what she faced, she didn't seem to be discouraged.

Even if she is to make money, it will not make people think that she is vulgar, on the contrary, her fighting power can infect people.

Jiang Jinjin didn't have time to talk to these two boys at all.

All she thought about was the branch.

But still have to wait and see for a while, now it is a star effect, then the next step is to rely on word of mouth. Many people think that convenience stores do not need word of mouth. If this is the case, then there will not be all kinds of convenience stores in this city. Sometimes a certain new product that is released catches the attention of others, so the business in a quarter will not worry about it.

The dusk is getting thicker.

In Zhou's group, Zhou Mingfeng finally couldn't leave work willfully on time today.

Getting off work on time is a luxury in Zhou Mingfeng's itinerary. By his current age and status, he no longer needs to deal with a lot of entertainment, but even so, he is invited to several dinners almost every day, not to mention that he also has projects and industries abroad. Because of the time difference, he often holds video conferences late at night. It's also commonplace.

There will be showers this evening.

Zhou Mingfeng sat in the office to deal with business affairs, and he didn't even notice the heavy rain washing down the floor-to-ceiling windows like pouring down.

When the knock on the door sounded, he responded. Assistant Liu came in from outside, holding the thick documents, and carefully sorting them on the desk. After finishing this matter, Assistant Liu said: "Mr. Zhou, When you have a meeting today, Mr. Xi, the special assistant of Yuansheng Group, called and asked if you would go to the charity dinner hosted by their group next week."

Zhou Mingfeng's signature motion paused, staring at the pen nib.

Assistant Liu didn't even notice the slight change in his expression.

The Zhou Group and Yuansheng Group have no business contacts, but if one of the several large groups in Yanjing holds an important banquet, even if the others do not cooperate, they will go to cheer for the face. Assistant Liu didn't know much about Yuansheng Group, he only vaguely understood the purpose of this charity dinner.

Xi Zhiyi is now in charge of Yuansheng Group.

Xi Zhiyi is about the same age as Zhou Zong. She also has thunder in the mall. She is a successful woman and entrepreneur.

However, there have been rumors that if her younger brother Xiao Xi is still alive, she will definitely not be where she is today.

Assistant Liu has only heard that if the little Xi is still alive, this year should be almost twenty-eight. He emerged on Wall Street when he was twenty and is a veritable young genius. It's a pity that Tian is jealous of the talent, Xiao Xi inherited a rare family disease, which is usually passed on to males in the family. When Xiao Xi was twenty-five years old, the rescue failed and died.

Assistant Liu saw that Zhou Mingfeng did not answer.

A few minutes passed, and Mr. Zhou still maintained his previous actions.

Assistant Liu couldn't help but reminded him: "Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Mingfeng seemed to have just come back to his senses, and said with a faint smile: "If you call Mr. Xi, I will say that my schedule is uncertain now. If I have time, I will definitely go to join me. If I am not free, let Vice President Zhao take his place. I come over."

Assistant Liu answered: "Okay."

Zhou Mingfeng looked at him, "It's getting late, you go back and rest first."

Assistant Liu nodded and left the office.

After Assistant Liu left, the office that was originally in black and white style suddenly fell silent. Zhou Mingfeng lay back, leaning on the office chair, staring thoughtfully at the landscape map not far away.

Jiang Jinjin thought that she had been busy all day, and she didn't want to squeeze Xu Congjian's labor force anymore. He stayed here for a long time and didn't go home for more than a week. At night, there was a lot of rain in the sky. Picking up the car key, after talking to Zhou Yan, she drove Xu Congjian away.

Xu Congjian was a little cautious in the passenger seat: "Actually, I don't have to go home."

Jiang Jinjin was holding the steering wheel, and the wiper was blowing non-stop.

She looked at the road ahead intently, "Aren't your family worried? You have been busy these two days, just go back and get a good night's sleep. Just come early tomorrow."

Xu Congjian was rather embarrassed.

He is a restrained temper, and Jiang Jinjin has a lively personality. In this short period of time, the two get along very well.

Jiang Jinjin remembered something, and laughed softly: "In fact, thanks to your improved formula, otherwise the business will not be so good. I will go back to consult and see if I want to sign a contract with you. At the very least, I must guarantee your interests. ."

Xu Congjian paused, "No need."

Jiang Jinjin did not continue this topic, but changed the conversation and asked: "You are going to take the college entrance examination next year. Have you thought about which school you want to take the exam?"

"I want to be a doctor in the future." Xu Congjian said, "I should pass the entrance exam to a medical university."

Jiang Jinjin wowed: "It's great! From then on, Dr. Xu, if I see a doctor, I will come to you."

With such a bored temper, Xu Congjian actually joked with her, "I want to stay in the oncology department in the future."

Jiang Jinjin: "..."

She immediately said: "Then I hope I won't see you in my life."

Xu Congjian's laughter has a characteristic unique to a teenager, "En."

Xu Congjian lives in the old city.

Although he wouldn't feel embarrassed because of his poor family, he didn't know why, thinking of the narrow and dirty streets, he suddenly spoke when he was nearly one kilometer away from home: "Just stop by this road. I can get down here."

Jiang Jinjin looked at it, and the sky was dark and heavy, and the rain did not decrease. "Is it here?"

Xu Congjian gave a hum.

Jiang Jinjin didn't force him, so she nodded, "Then you pay attention to safety."

Just as Xu Congjian pushed the car door, a slightly hoarse female voice came from the rain curtain, "Ajian?"

Jiang Jinjin also took a look back. The next second a middle-aged woman in a faded undershirt and skirt came over. She was a little embarrassed. She was holding a shabby lattice umbrella and carrying a foam box, but her face was full of Kind smile.

Xu Congjian's hand was still on the car door handle, and he responded and was about to get into the rain curtain, "Mom, why haven't you come home at this point?"

There is still rain on Xu's Mother face, "The glutinous rice cakes are not sold out, I want to try my luck here."

She looked at this overly luxurious car again, and hesitated for a while, "Ajian, this is?"

Xu Congjian squeezed the handle of the umbrella. He moved the umbrella to his mother, half of his shoulder wet, "This is the owner of my convenience store, Mrs. Jiang, this is my mother."

Jiang Jinjin said hello to Mother Xu, "Auntie, hello."

She remembered something, and then said: "Xu Congjian, are you here to find your mother? That way, it's raining too much now, why don't I send you back?"

Before Xu Congjian refused, Xu's mother waved her hand quickly with a sincere smile, "No need, just a few steps away, the alley is narrow, and it won't be easy to get out if you go in, Miss Jiang, I listened to what Ajian said. You take good care of him on weekdays, and i don't know how to thank you." She looked down for a while, opened the foam box and hurriedly took a few plastic bags from it to the car, "I made this myself. You can try glutinous rice cakes if you don't dislike it."

Plastic bags are relatively cheap, and they are covered with rainwater.

The shape has long been unsightly.

Xu Congjian was about to speak out.

Jiang Jinjin untied the seat belt, reached out her hand and hooked the small bags, opened one with a grin and took a bite and said slurredly: "What ingredient is used in here, it's so delicious!"

It can be seen that she really likes to eat.

Mother Xu smiled, "Chopped peanuts and black sesame seeds."

"It tastes good." Jiang Jinjin gave a thumbs up, "I like to eat this kind of glutinous food, auntie, thank you."

The two chatted for a while.

Jiang Jinjin seems to really want to learn from Xu's mother, but it's a pity that this is only a temporary parking space and can't stay for long.

After saying goodbye, Jiang Jinjin drove the car again, dropped her head in front, and disappeared into the rain.

Mother Xu carried the foam box on her back and sighed in a low voice: "This boss is so young."

I have such an ability at such a young age.

Xu Congjian didn't say a word, his eyes still stayed in the direction where the car left.

"People are pretty good," Xu Mu said again.

Xu Congjian gave a hum, an umbrella could not hold the mother and the son at all. His eyelids were drooping, and raindrops fell down his eyelashes.

When Zhou Mingfeng came back, only Zhou Yan was in the main building.

Zhou Yan was sitting on the sofa gnawing Jiang Jinjin's kiln chicken.

It tastes delicious, Zhou Yan can kill one by himself.

He was eating with relish while staring at the TV. He was watching a ball game. There was still sparkling water bought by Jiang Jinjin on the tea table.

Zhou Mingfeng went upstairs to find a circle, then came downstairs as if nothing had happened, pretending to ask casually: "Are you home alone?"

Zhou Yan stared at the TV screen intently, and said casually: "Well, it's raining outside. She sent Xu Congjian back."

"Yeah." After Zhou Mingfeng got the answer, he went upstairs and returned to the study.

When Jiang Jinjin came back, Zhou Yan had already eaten and went back to the room to play games. She went upstairs and happened to ran into Zhou Mingfeng. The two were a little closer on the stairs. Jiang Jinjin smelled a faint feeling. smell.

She leaned closer again and sniffed.

When Zhou Mingfeng saw her wrinkled nose, he couldn't help but chuckle, "Why, I have a strange smell on my body?"

"Yeah." Jiang Jinjin nodded, "Tobacco smell, have you smoked?"

She was a little surprised.

Because she has been wearing the book for so long, she has never seen Zhou Mingfeng smoke, nor has she smelled tobacco on him.

This is the first time.

Zhou Mingfeng couldn't say anything with a smile, "The nose is really good."

He only draws two when he is upset.

"It's a bit annoying." He replied.

Jiang Jinjin looked at him with doubts in her eyes, even he felt annoyed, what a big deal it was.

But she thought, it should be a matter of work.

There was no way, she was a rookie in front of him, and even he was annoyed, then she didn't need to set up any explanations.

"It's not a big problem," he said again.

Jiang Jinjin nodded, "That's good."

But at this moment, her thinking is divergent, and she can't help thinking, is this also the difference between the novel world and the real world?

In the real world, the smell of smoke is really unpleasant. She hates other people smoking next to her, which exposes her to the dangers of second-hand smoke.

But why is it different now.

The tobacco smell on Zhou Mingfeng's body is very weak, but it is strange and not unpleasant at all.

At first she thought it was the smell of perfume.

In the evening, two people lay in bed, still the night without incident.

But Jiang Jinjin likes to talk to people. As long as she is not so tired that she is autistic and doesn't want to speak, as long as Zhou Mingfeng is there before she goes to bed, she will chat with him for a while.

Over time, Zhou Mingfeng also got used to being in the dark, lying on the same bed with her and talking about trivial things.

"Is the business in the store very good today?" Zhou Mingfeng asked in a deep voice.

Jiang Jinjin pulled the quilt, her tone was excited: "It's not so good, it's super good, I thought it was a supermarket during the New Year!"

She whispered again: "It would be nice if it were like this every day."

She is willing to keep busy like this, as busy as ever.

"If there is something you can't solve well, you can also tell me directly." Zhou Mingfeng said, "Don't be too polite."

Jiang Jinjin rubbed her hands, "You said it."

She really didn't encounter anything.

However, if you can't solve the problem yourself, you can't carry it to death, you must find a rescuer.

The two chatted one after another. Just before Jiang Jinjin's sleepiness began to emerge, Zhou Mingfeng suddenly said: "Next week, we may still attend the Yuansheng Group's charity dinner."

Jiang Jinjin opened her eyes and rolled over, "Okay, but is this dinner important?"

Zhou Mingfeng was shocked rarely.

Jiang Jinjin mumbled: "You have mentioned it several times. Isn't it important?"

Zhou Mingfeng was silent for a moment in the dark, until Jiang Jinjin thought he was already asleep and she closed her eyes to sleep before he whispered: "It's not important."
