The next day, Lin Mai still wore a raincoat and went to the pier to sell breakfast.
Fang Zhuoran also came to her stall every day before going to work to buy steamed buns and braised eggs.
He smiled and asked: "I heard that you are going to sign a contract with Father He today?"
Lin Mai also smiled and said: "Did you receive the news so soon?"
Fang Zhuoran downplayed: "I passed by after get off work and asked about it."
Lin Mai said sincerely: "Thank you, Professor Fang."
Fang Zhuoran waved his hand: "You are too polite, I will feel uncomfortable, just treat me as an older brother. A younger sister does not need to say thank you to an older brother."
Lin Mai hummed a little lonely.
Fang Zhuoran saw a lot of rainwater flowing down the hood of the raincoat onto her face, so he took out his own checkered handkerchief and handed it over: "Wipe the rainwater off your face."
Lin Mai glanced at the neat and clean handkerchief that exuded a light mint fragrance, but did not take it.
He wiped his face with his hands a few times: "No need for a handkerchief." After saying that, he opened a big smile.
Fang Zhuoran suddenly wanted to give her a shelter from the wind and rain, so that she could bloom beautifully and quietly like a flower like other girls.
Instead of being blown by wind and rain like now.
He took back the handkerchief: "Tomorrow I will go and tidy up the house for you so that it can be opened."
"No, no, no!" Lin Mai quickly refused, "You still have to go to work, so don't waste your energy on me.
Your scalpel-wielding hand can determine life or death, and you have to have plenty of energy at all times, so how can you work so hard for me?"
Fang Zhuoran's eyes were gentle: "I will work all night today and take two days off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to help you and it will not affect my work."
Having said that, Lin Mai refused to refuse again, turned around and walked into the rain curtain with an umbrella.
After Fang Zhuoran left, Lin Mai also rode a tricycle and hawked along the street.
She is getting more and more experienced now. She does a good business selling breakfast in front of the school in the morning, but the school security guards like to chase people away.
Lin Mai rode a tricycle to the entrance of Jiang'an Middle School, shouted a few times at the top of his voice, and students immediately gathered around him.
Forsythia went out to buy breakfast and saw a group of students gathered around a tricycle to buy steamed buns and braised eggs, while the other two vendors selling breakfast were deserted.
I guessed in my mind that the steamed buns and braised eggs sold at that stall must be delicious, otherwise these students wouldn't be so enthusiastic about them.
Thinking that her boss had suddenly become fond of eating steamed buns and braised eggs recently, she walked over.
Forsythia not only bought breakfast for her and her boss, but also for several brothers.
As soon as I bought it, I bought a large aluminum pot of steamed buns and braised eggs and took them back.
It was close to the residence, and the aluminum pot was wrapped in a torn cotton jacket, so the steamed buns and braised eggs were still hot when we returned to the residence.
Except for the boss, everyone else reached out and picked up the buns and started to eat them.
Just one bite will amaze them.
A boy asked Forsythia: "Where did you buy this bun and why does it taste so good?"
"I bought it from a roadside stall." Forsythia took a bun and handed it to the handsome man who was silent. "Boss, don't you love buns? Eat it while it's hot."
The man looked at the bun sideways for a few seconds, then took it and took a bite.
After taking this bite, his whole body turned to stone, motionless.
Everyone looked at him in confusion, and a younger brother asked: "Boss, what's wrong with you? Is the bun broken?"
The man turned a deaf ear, stared at Forsythia and asked eagerly: "Where did you buy this bun?"
Forsythia was a little frightened by his appearance: "Here, at...Jiang'an Middle School..."
Before she could finish her words, the man rushed out.
Forsythia was stunned for a moment, then chased after him with a big black umbrella. She was so anxious that she called out the man's name: "Chen Feng, it's raining heavily outside, so grab an umbrella!"
The man has run away.
The four remaining boys in the room looked at each other.
A younger brother asked in confusion: "Boss, what's going on?"
Another younger brother guessed: "I'm afraid I've discovered my enemy, so I'll take revenge."
Another younger brother shook his head: "It can't be an enemy. If it is an enemy, there is no way the boss won't call us."
Another boy who had been eating steamed buns stuffed another big mouthful of steamed buns into his mouth: "Stop discussing, let's go out and see what's going on."
So the four boys took their umbrellas and all went out.
Chen Feng ran to Jiang'an Middle School desperately, and when he saw a security guard scolding a small vendor wearing a raincoat to leave immediately, he was so angry that his veins burst out.
He strode over, pointed at the security guard who was over fifty years old, and said, "Try to be cruel to her again!"
Seeing the ferocious look on Chen's face, the security guard knew that he couldn't be offended, so he murmured in a low voice and retreated to the security room.
Chen Feng turned his head and was about to look at the slender figure wrapped in a raincoat.
The man spoke: "Thank you, young man, otherwise I would have suffered a big loss again today. I just sold a few steamed cakes, and I would be rejected every day, alas!"
The little old lady with a wrinkled face smiled gratefully at Chen Feng while pushing the tricycle, and staggered away.
Chen Feng was left alone in the heavy rain. How did the black girl he thought turned into a little old lady?
Forsythia came over, put the umbrella on his head, and said worriedly: "Boss, your injury is not fully healed yet, and the wound will become infected if it is exposed to the rain."
Chen Feng wiped the rain off his face, turned around without saying a word, and strode back in rapid strides.
The four brothers who came later watched him pass by them.
When he was far away, everyone gathered around Lian Qiao and asked all kinds of questions: "Is the boss looking for the bun seller?"
"Is that bun seller a woman?"
"If it's a woman, it means the boss likes her."
"Is that woman pretty?"
Forsythia didn't speak, but her face became increasingly gloomy.
After lunch, Lin Mai came to Dad He's store with the contract he had written and the rent of three hundred yuan.
Father He is already waiting inside.
Lin Mai handed the contract to him for review: "Dad He, do you think this contract needs to be modified or supplemented? If there is no problem, just sign it."
The contract drawn up by Lin Mai was very fair and protected both the interests of the landlord and the tenants.
After reading it, Father He nodded with satisfaction: "No problem, no modifications or additions are needed."
Lin Mai specifically pointed out: "Dad He, once you sign this contract, you cannot go back on it easily. If you go back on it, you will have to pay five hundred yuan in liquidated damages."
Father He laughed loudly: "I can't go back on my word after I sign. The only one who can go back on my word is you, and the only one who can pay liquidated damages is you."
The two parties signed and deposited the property happily, Lin Mai paid one year's rent, and Father He wrote a receipt, handed over the key and left.
Lin Mai didn't go back and asked the surrounding residents about the nearest construction site.
She wanted to hire a plumber at the construction site to check the water and electricity at home, especially the wiring problem.
Line safety is very important. If the lines are aged, fires may occur.
Although Dad He promised to find someone to help her repair the line in two days, she did not want to delay and wanted to open the business as soon as possible.
She didn't even want to wait until Fang Zhuoran gave her the whole house tomorrow. He had already helped her a lot, but she had never done anything for him.
I'm sorry to bother him again, even if he takes the initiative.
Neighboring residents told her that the Puji Hospital employee community next door was demolished and expanded into an inpatient department. That was the construction site, and it would not be difficult to find a plumber there.
Lin Mai thanked him and rode a tricycle to the construction site.
