The secretary nodded, quickly put away the tea set on the table, and soon replaced it with a new set.
Du Xiaoyu's business has been average in the past few days.
The store she opened does not serve the public. The waiters in the store were anxious when they saw that there was no business in the store, but Du Xiaoyu didn't seem to be anxious at all.
When there is no one in the store, Du Xiaoyu will sit under the tree in the backyard, holding a book and reading quietly.
When there are people in the store, she will help order and serve food.
There was a swing in the yard behind Du Xiaoyu. Deng Xiaoyu was lying on it, holding a book in his hand, and the swing was swaying gently.
She couldn't help but smile softly when she saw something she liked about the stories in the book.
She was so absorbed in reading that she didn't even notice the person standing next to her.
Shu Yanxiu leaned against the tree nearby and looked at Du Xiaoyu quietly.
He had met Du Xiaoyu, but they didn't talk much.
He has never particularly cared about Du Xiaoyu, because Du Xiaokang would never give him a chance.
Shu Yanxiu also heard from others that Du Xiaokang's sister opened a hot pot restaurant in Shanghai.
When Shu Yanxiu heard the word hot pot restaurant, she thought of Susan Shan inexplicably in her heart.
He couldn't understand why girls liked opening hotpot restaurants so much.
In the past, Su San and Susan Shan wanted to deal with Yang Lina in order to open a hot pot restaurant, but Du Xiaoyu learned how to open a hot pot restaurant from Yang Lina.
Shu Yanxiu was very confused in his heart. In the past few years, he had been forcing himself not to think about Susan Shan. But after someone told him that there was a hot pot restaurant in Shanghai, Su Yanxiu wanted to take a look.
It wouldn't be wrong to say that he is nostalgic.
In short, he just wanted to find a reason for himself and wanted to come and take a look.
Shu Yanxiu stood for a long time. Seeing that Du Xiaoyu hadn't noticed his arrival, he coughed twice and said, "Boss Du, I've been standing here for a long time. Didn't you notice that there are guests coming?"
Du Xiaoyu was reading seriously, biting her fingers and smiling silly, still not hearing Shu Yanxiu speak.
Shu Yanxiu took a few steps towards the swing. Du Xiaoyu noticed that the light on the tree was dimming a little, and then he turned his head and glanced to the side.
Du Xiaoyu saw a pair of leather shoes next to the swing. She looked up from her feet and felt that the person looked familiar, but as for who it was, she couldn't remember it for a while.
Du Xiaoyu asked doubtfully: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
Seeing that Du Xiaoyu couldn't remember who she was, Su Yanxiu almost smiled and said, "I came to eat and saw no one in front of me, so I came in alone.
You were on the swing, but you didn't notice anyone coming for a long time."
Du Xiaoyu calmly got off the swing, put on his shoes and said to Su Yanxiu.
"I'm really sorry. I feel better. I'll give you a dish later to express my apology.
Do you want to sit in the box and eat, or do you want to sit outside?"
Shu Yanxiu folded his arms, tilted his head and said, "Is there any difference between the two?"
Du Xiaoyu explained seriously: "There is no difference between the two. The only difference is that if you eat in the private room, you will not bump into other people and it will be quieter. If you eat outside, the taste will not stay on you, but you will be seen by acquaintances."
When Yan Xiu heard Du Xiaoyu's explanation, he looked around and said with a smile, "I heard that your store was newly opened. Why is there no one in the store?"
Du Xiaoyu shrugged his shoulders and said: "Maybe the publicity is not good enough. If you think it tastes good after trying it, remember to help me promote it more. I will give you food next time you come."
Shu Yanxiu folded her arms and nodded, saying, "Okay, then next time I come, remember what I said today."
Du Xiaoyu said: "That's for sure. May I ask where you want to sit to eat?"
Shu Yanxiu asked around, and when he saw that the courtyard was well decorated, he said, "How about I just sit in the pavilion and eat, since I won't meet anyone I know anyway."
Du Xiaoyu handed the menu to Shu Yanxiu and said, "Okay, you take your order first, and I'll arrange the bottom of the pot for you. Do you want spicy food or non-spicy food?"
Du Xiaoyu was busy with the service and didn't even think about getting to know Shu Yanxiu.
Shu Yanxiu felt that he had failed because Du Xiaoyu didn't recognize him.
Shu Yanxiu said a little distractedly: "Just a little spicy is enough."
Du Xiaoyu went to the kitchen, and Su Yanxiu was sitting on the table in the pavilion, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table, his eyes constantly thinking and looking at it privately.
Shu Yanxiu thought, Du Xiaoyu was quite good at living.
In Brother Su Yuan's memory, Du Xiangyu used to be a lively and active little girl, but after her parents had an accident, this little girl seemed to have changed her personality.
Thinking of a person changing his personality, Shu Yanxiu thought, why should he himself be the same?
Shu Yanxiu smiled bitterly and waited quietly for Du Xiaoyu to serve the food.
Du Xiaoyu made arrangements for the chef. Because there were few people in the store, the chef was very fast, and three or four people brought the dishes together.
Shu Yanxiu was a little shocked when he saw the food being served so quickly.
Du Xiaoyu stood by the dining table and smiled politely: "Guest, please enjoy slowly. If I have anything, remember to call our waiter."
Shu Yanxiu pretended not to know anything and deliberately asked: "Are you the owner of this store?"
Du Xiaoyu just smiled slightly and said without replying: "You can enjoy it slowly and I won't disturb you. If you have any questions, just call the waiter anytime."
Du Xiaoyu nodded slightly, turned and left.
Shu Yanxiu didn't care about anything else, he sat alone under the pavilion and started cooking and eating vegetables.
What Shu Yanxiu didn't expect was that before he had even taken a few bites, Du Xiaokang came.
Du Xiaokang didn't see Shu Yanxiu at first. When he was passing by and chatting, he saw someone eating here and felt strange and glanced at it.
When Du Xiaokang saw it was Shu Yanxiu, he stopped, frowned, and walked towards Shu Yanxiu.
After Du Xiaokai opened the chair and sat down, he adjusted the buttons of his suit and said with an indifferent expression: "Why are you here?"
Shu Yanxiu knew that Du Xiaokang would ask this question. This guy seemed to have a problem with him and wanted to teach him a lesson as soon as they met.
Shu Yanxiu said: "What you are asking is so strange. You can come, why can't I come?"
The word "speechless" was written all over Du Xiaokang's face. It wasn't that he hated Shu Yanxiu, but he didn't like Shu Yanxiu very much when he saw him.
Du Xiaokang exhaled and said, "No problem, you can come, but eat slowly and be careful not to choke to death."
Shu Yanxiu clicked his tongue twice, this guy is really crazy. When he drank with him before, he looked like a human being. When he didn't drink, he looked like a talented person, like a gentleman. When he talked, a dog couldn't spit out ivory from its mouth.
