Chapter 22 [Whether love comes or not]

After walking out of the manager's office, Chen Xiao saw his cute female colleague standing at the door, biting her lips gently. The originally cute and playful eyes were filled with a hint of loss, looking at him faintly.

"Chen Xiao, are you really leaving?" The cute female clerk's voice was a little sad.

Chen Xiao coughed, turned his head to avoid the other party's eyes, and forced a smile: "Yes, I found a new job, closer to my home, and less hard work."

The cute female clerk barely squeezed out a smile: "Then in the future, even if you are not colleagues, you should contact more. You are not colleagues, but friends. Don't forget that you still owe me a birthday gift."

Thinking of her birthday, she gave her an MP4. Chen Xiao naturally knew what the girl was thinking. After thinking for a while, he quickly copied a number: "This is my phone number, you must invite me on your birthday."

After getting the phone number, the female clerk smiled happily, carefully put it away, but asked again: "Chen Xiao, our colleagues have been working for more than two months, you don't know my name yet, right?"

Chen Xiao was a little embarrassed again - his temperament was indeed a little cold before, and he didn't like to talk to people: "I only know that everyone calls you Xiaonuo... I called you as well. Speaking of which, I have never asked your name before. It's really rude."

"My surname is Ye, Ye Xiaonuo." Xiaonuo smiled sweetly, with a pair of dimples on his cheeks: "Don't call me Xiaonuo in the future. My friends call me 'Yezi'."

"Okay, I'll call you Ye Zi in the future." Chen Xiaozheng nodded heavily.

Ye Xiaonuo's eyes lit up, but he stretched out his hand that had been behind him, holding a pack of things on his slender palm, and lowered his voice and said, "Hold it, I know that every time you come to work at this time, you don't have a meal. I've left you two beef burgers, so I'll treat you."

After saying that, he stuffed the thing directly into Chen Xiao's hand, then turned around and ran into the backcourt of the counter.

The cabbage MM was hired on the spot and stayed to test the work. Chen Xiao left the fast food restaurant alone, holding two steaming burgers in his hand, and couldn't help feeling a little moved.

Seeing that it was still early, I planned to go to the bank first and get my bike back first.

Just as he was about to go to the subway station, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He picked it up and looked...

Um?

This number is recognized by me, which is exactly the phone number that Hei San left for him! I dialed this number last night, but the other party hung up his phone impatiently.

"Hello." Chen Xiao's voice immediately became cold after answering.

"Chen Xiao?" The other party was still the old man I heard last night, his voice was hard and hoarse, and he was still in a lukewarm tone: "No matter what you are doing now, I'll give you half an hour and come to my place to report immediately."

"Now?" Chen Xiao frowned. The other party's voice was very rude, and even with a commanding tone, which made people feel uncomfortable when they heard it. Chen Xiao was a little unhappy: "Didn't you say that it's OK within a week last night?"

"Where is so much nonsense?" The other party's voice was even more impatient than Chen Xiao: "Come on when you ask you to come. I have an urgent matter now and need staff! I will give you half an hour and come to me immediately! My monthly salary is 3,000 yuan, and I will make two meals a day!"

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Xiao to speak, he hung up again with a bang.

Chen Xiao was really angry - Damn! So arrogant?

However... the monthly salary is 3,000 yuan, and two meals are included... For working, such treatment is really good enough!

What's more, Chen Xiao's purse has been bleeding all these two days, and there is an extra bite of people at home to eat...

Gripping your teeth and enduring it for the sake of your job!-

The address is located near the southwest suburbs of K City.

Although City K is actually a big city, the real estate industry has been so popular in recent years that the housing prices and land prices in City K have soared, and newly developed neighborhoods are everywhere. However, in this suburb of the southwest, land prices and housing prices have never risen.

Because in the past few years, the southwest suburbs were the industrial zone of K City, and several local large factories were located here. In recent years, in order to respond to the development of the real estate industry, most of these factories have been moved to further places. The southwest suburbs have also undergone a lot of development. In the past few years, newspapers and TV often advocated the creation of a "new urban area", but it has never been able to achieve the climate. Developers came one batch after another, and built one after another of real estate projects, including commercial areas, communities, etc., but they just couldn't gather popularity.

Just because people in K City know that the place used to be the industrial factory. Although the factories were moved away later, God knows whether the land there would leave any industrial pollution. Although the government has repeatedly denied the rumors to ensure that there is no pollution problem in that land... However, no one has believed the news broadcast these days.

Therefore, the southwest suburbs of this place has become a famous cold spot in K City... but it is still deserted. Although those beautiful new properties are built one after another, at night, most of the buildings are pitch black, and occasionally the lights of several families are sparse.

The prices of new properties here have been falling again and again. Although it is about 30% cheaper than houses in the city, it is still unpopular. There is a famous joke circulating in City K. If anyone who has taken the driver's license to learn to drive, he will go to the southwest suburbs to practice driving at night. Even if you open it, you will drive casually, and you will never have to worry about hitting people, because at night, even if you throw a grenade on the street, you will not be able to explode.

When Chen Xiao arrived here from the city, the subway carriages were deserted. After leaving the subway station, he looked around and found that there was no car passing by on the road for two minutes.

The address in his hand is not difficult to find. Chen Xiao walked for fifteen minutes and found the destination.

Obviously, this is also an unfinished "commercial area". When the real estate company was engaged in development here, the newspaper advocated every day that it would build a large commercial area, but it was left unresolved. The surrounding real estate looked very beautiful, but in fact it was not very popular. Now the sun has not yet set, and it looks deserted.

This place is a "peering commercial street". Unfortunately, a huge street is seven or eight hundred meters long. Chen Xiao saw his head at a glance and almost didn't see any business shops. Most of the shops and houses were empty, with a bleak smell.

After walking halfway through the street, Chen Xiao only saw two stores open, one was a red hotel, and the other was a cigar shop... This made Chen Xiao a little funny. Who would buy luxury goods such as red wine and cigars in this kind of place?

What surprised Chen Xiao even more was that there was a car wash and repair car at the intersection - driving the car shop in a commercial pedestrian street? It seems that the shops here must be outrageously cheap!

When Chen Xiao passed by, he actually saw that the car dealer was still open. A middle-aged man wearing work clothes and covered with black oil dirt was holding a pair of pliers in his hand. He looked at Chen Xiao who was walking past the door with curious eyes. The corner of his mouth seemed to have a strange and playful smile.

Chen Xiao walked to the end of the street and finally found the address.

This is actually a coffee shop? Just one look at the store name, Chen Xiao was amazed: Ribak.

Well... Does this shop owner have a grudge against "Starbucks"?

However—the business of this coffee shop has been extremely bleak. If we look at it according to common sense, the business of a shop is so tragic that it should be not far from closing down and going bankrupt.

But this coffee shop actually hangs a couplet on the door!

The couplets hanging in the coffee shop are already very inconsistent, and what is even more outrageous is the content of this couplet!

The first line: If you want to drink coffee below 200 yuan, please go to another house!

The second couplet: Those who have been identified as beautiful women by the store owner will be exempted from the order!

Horizontal draft: Whether love comes or not!

Chen Xiao: “…………”

Looking at the arrogant couplet for a while, Chen Xiao sighed and gently pushed open the door. Amid the ding-dong wind chimes, Chen Xiao walked into this deserted shop. Looking around, there was no table of guests in a huge coffee shop.

Behind the counter, an old man in a floral shirt, with a wooden pipe in his mouth, silver-white hair, and a thread-bound book in his hand, squinted his eyes and was reading it in a daze.

Chen Xiao walked to him and stood for five seconds. The old man didn't notice anyone in front of him. There was a light flashing in his squinting old eyes, as if he was intoxicated by the sight.

Chen Xiao couldn't help but glance at the book, but couldn't see the title, but only glanced at a paragraph of content:

"...The Wang Po smiled and said, "The Grand Official of Ximen is very good at seeing. The young lady of this family was named Pan and her boudoir was Jinlian. She was born in a wealthy family, but she had a poor life and followed the Wuhan University..."

Chen Xiao couldn't help but smile and greeted him politely: "Old man, did you watch "Water Margin"?"

The old man then raised his head, as if he had just seen Chen Xiao, with a righteous look on his face, a proud smile, and replied with three words:

"Jin Ping Mei!"

Chen Xiao: “…”
