2:13pm
The city has begun to heat up, but in recent years the temperature at noon has not been as high as in previous years. This is all due to the opening of the subway in the west. Traffic flow is almost invisible in the industrial areas in the west, and transportation and logistics are extremely fast and convenient.
, many factories producing vehicles in the west have closed down and changed industries, and car sales have begun to decline year by year.
However, many people do not think that cars will be completely replaced by the subway, because many times there are people who want to drive on the streets. Although the subway operates 24 hours a day, many people still choose to drive on some cold nights.
You can take the subway at any time, but you need to walk a long way. The upper level car is still the main means of transportation, because the underground construction does not know which year will be fully rolled out on the upper level.
Because there are fewer cars coming from many areas in the middle level, the streets on the upper level are no longer congested, and the already spacious streets are now smooth and unimpeded.
Located on a main street in District 5, connected to the entrance of Qinglong Street, many people were looking at a woman who was dressed up in an exaggerated manner. She was very weird, with purple eyes and big cheeks.
Her lips are red, with green lipstick, and she is wearing an exaggerated and light floor-length skirt that can only be seen in movies or stage plays. However, the woman always maintains an elusive smile on her face, which is a bit like a giggle, but it is not the same as a giggle.
Different, with a hint of enthusiasm and excitement.
But someone soon recognized it. On the back of the woman's clothes, there was a silhouette LOGO of the Reed Theater. It was the silhouette of Jaylin playing the cello. It looked very strange. The woman was not wearing high heels, but
He was wearing a pair of black sneakers, which looked very strange.
"Miss, please pay attention to how you dress!"
One person couldn't stand it any longer, so he stepped forward and said something.
"Why? I dress very well, and you know what? This is specially made, all over my body."
Crystal said with a smile, raised her head smugly, and continued walking. She came to an L.K candy store and walked directly in. Ye Lai, who was packing candies for the customers, almost burst out laughing,
But he held it back, and several customers who were buying candies were stunned.
"Come here to buy candies again, Miss Crystal."
Crystal lay down at the counter with a smile. Ye Lai took out a lollipop from a small box of tasting products and handed it to Crystal. She opened it and ate it by herself.
"Has that handsome man been here? His name is Gene, right?"
Ye Lai smiled helplessly. At this time, his wife with a bulging belly came out of the rest area at the back. She became angry when she saw Crystal's dress and wanted to say a few words, but Crystal spoke first.
"Madam, your belly is getting bigger and bigger. You must eat more vegetables and preferably less meat. You must also pay attention to your sleep and give birth to a healthy baby."
Ye Lai's wife smiled and said thank you. This woman who had been coming to the store frequently during this period, often dressed up very badly, and seemed to have some mental problems, was not a bad person.
"As for Mr. Jean, he must have been busy with work recently and hasn't been here for a long time."
Crystal was a little disappointed, but soon started chatting with Ye Lai's wife again.
Ye Lai smiled helplessly, and several guests also snickered. After Ye Lai exchanged greetings with them, they nodded in understanding.
Crystal was not the only woman who came to the store to ask about Jean, because Jean often went to the candy store to buy things. If you think about it, she and Jean had known each other for almost 20 years.
Ye Lai worked on a farm in the east a long time ago. When he was young, his background was not very good. Ye Lai was once arrested for reselling fake and shoddy products. It was while working on the farm that he met Jean.
At that time, Ye Lai still couldn't change his problem of being poor and rational, so he would always secretly get some crops from the farm. Among them, Ye Lai got the most sugar. Later, after he met a co-worker who used to make candy, he
Knowing that the candy industry was very profitable, Ye Lai started researching on his own and actually made some candies using raw materials from the farm.
After that, Ye Lai began to make candies privately, and then sold them to the bottom through some channels, making a small profit. However, the matter was still exposed, and it was discovered that it was Jean who did this, but Jean had tasted his candies.
In the end, he just said that the taste was good and the sweetness was moderate. He did not report him, but told him not to do it in the future.
Ye Lai was really scared to death that time, thinking he was going to be doomed. After that, Ye Lai didn't take anything from the food base anymore. Instead, after he was released after serving his sentence, with the help of Jean, he opened a small
After the business got better, Ye Lai also opened a factory.
After the business became more and more prosperous, Ye Lai also met his current wife, established a firm foothold in the upper class, and opened a candy store here. However, the business in the upper class was not as competitive as Ye Lai thought.
With the fierce competition, the business of his candy shop is getting worse and worse. No matter in terms of the type, quality, appearance and price of the candy, Ye Lai's candy shop is gradually losing its competitiveness.
They could only rely on some candy supplies at the bottom to support themselves. Eventually, Ye Lai's store was acquired by L.K. Candy Company, and the business began to improve.
No matter whether business is good or bad, Gene will always come over to buy candies, and Ye Lai will also chat with Gene from time to time.
It's just that Jean hasn't been here for a long time recently. Ye Lai also hopes to chat with Jean. Looking at his wife's belly getting bigger day by day, it's a girl, and the due date is April this year.
Crystal was still looking around in the store, as excited as a child, looking at these beautiful candies, when at the door of the store, Gene walked in with a bagful of things.
Ye Lai was a little surprised. He looked at the things that Jean was carrying. Some were nutritious dry goods, some were nutritious meats, and a pot of purple-blue iris flowers.

Ye Lai took the gift from Jean's hand with some excitement and said thank you.
"You're finally here!"
As soon as Jean put down his things, he saw the woman in front of him who was dressed strangely but with a sincere expression. Jean smiled softly.
"Hello miss!"
"I've been waiting for you for several days. Your name is Jean, right? Can I buy you a cup of coffee?"
Jean scratched his head and looked at Ye Lai, who was winking at him across the way, and nodded with a smile.
"Of course, miss!"
Crystal jumped up excitedly, wandering around Jean as if observing something.
"But you may need to wait for a while. There are other customers in the shop. Can you wait quietly for a while?"
Crystal nodded in understanding and calmed down as expected, but she still couldn't hide her excitement and fixed her eyes on Jean.
"Mr. Jean, this woman seems to be a little energetic..."
Jean looked back at the crystal sitting next to a shelf and shook his head.
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Ye Jiao."
Ye Lai said excitedly, then looked around in embarrassment, as if he had something important to tell Jean, but he didn't dare to explain it.
"Say it!"
"Mr. Jean, can you please be free in the future? I mean whenever you are free. When this child grows up, I hope you can teach her, although it is a bit...
..”
Jean smiled and nodded.
"Can!"
"Thank you Mr. Jean."
Jean did not refuse. He could tell that some of Ye Lai's little thoughts were often asked by his parents in the past. Jean would also go there from time to time as agreed.
"Is that really okay Mr. Jean?"
Gene nodded again.
"Anyway, congratulations! I'm going to have a drink with this lady now. I still have something to do."
After watching Jean leave, Ye Lai stood in front of the cashier for a long time, and for a while he couldn't help but feel excited.
"Looking at you like this, if our daughter can have a good relationship with Mr. Jean in the future, it will be good for her future. After all, it is really not easy to live in the upper class."
Ye Lai hummed, feeling in his heart that what he was doing was not very good, but every parent hopes that their children will have a good future.
“I really don’t know how to thank Mr. Jean!”
"I think the administrative department is pretty good. How about letting this child go to the administrative department in the future? I know several girls in the administrative department who are quite independent."
Ye Lai hummed.
On the road, Gene was carrying his uniform with one hand and a cigarette in his mouth. Crystal was walking in front of Gene, coming back to his senses from time to time and talking to Gene about some things here.
"I don't know why people here always don't like to talk much. They don't talk much to the people around them. Even the neighbors who often go out together always feel cold."
"That's because everyone is busy doing their own thing."
As Jean spoke, he also noticed the looks of many people around him, especially women. At this time, a drink shop appeared in front of him.
"How about this place, miss? I can only sit here for a while and I have work."
Crystal immediately ran in without any explanation, lay down at the front desk, and ordered two cups of coffee. The manager at the front desk frowned slightly. This was a three-story beverage shop with an elegant environment, but Crystal's dress was incompatible with this place.
The manager was about to refuse when he saw Jean walking in.
