At about ten o'clock in the morning, Li Youran's cell phone rang. He took out his cell phone and looked at it. It seemed that the number displayed on the screen had been seen before but could not be remembered for the time being.
Pressing the answer button, Li Youran put the phone to his ear.
"Hello, who's there?"
"Boss Li is really busy making a fortune, don't you have time to save my phone number?" came a sweet, sweet, slightly dissatisfied female voice.
Ling Wanru, it's her! Li Youran felt a big word "冏" crawling onto his forehead.
Ever since the chance encounter at the gate of Tianhai University, I had been busy running around for a living all day, so I slowly put this matter aside, and did not save the number on the business card to my mobile phone. What happened now?
explain?
"Yes, I'm sorry, I just changed my phone..." Li Youran stammered.
A chuckle came from the phone.
"Okay, Boss Xiao Li, don't explain it. If you forget it, just forget it. I don't blame you. Besides, I can't control you now."
"Yes, I can manage..." After saying this, Li Youran wanted to slap him on the head. What nonsense was he talking about?
Ling Wanru giggled happily.
"Li Youran, you are really interesting. Okay, I have something to ask you for. I want to take two friends to your restaurant for dinner at noon. You can arrange a seat for me. I heard from your fan club that the seats at the bun shop are...
It’s very tight.”
"Okay, no problem." Li Youran agreed quickly, not knowing what to say.
There was a brief silence on the call.
"Okay, that's it, see you at noon." Ling Wanru said and hung up.
Li Youran held the phone, feeling a little hot on his face and his heartbeat quickened.
Ling Wanru is coming over, what should I say when I see her? There seems to be nothing to say.
Li Youran was in a daze for a while, and then he remembered that it was already very close to noon, so he had to call the restaurant quickly. Forget it, let's make the arrangements himself. He put on his coat and pushed the door open.
By this time, there were already a lot of people in the lobby of the new Baozi Pu store, and there were not even half an empty seat. Even the takeaway place that had just opened, Song Kuai Pai, had a long queue again.
The original customer base of Baozi Shop mainly consisted of three categories: old customers on Anhua Road, residents of Shigu Lane, and students from Tianhai University and Normal College. But later, as the reputation gradually spread, more and more customers came from other places.
Many, even some white-collar workers in the financial and business district west of Antai Road were attracted, which resulted in the current situation.
Li Youran went downstairs and turned into the new store from the backyard. From a distance, he saw Sun Xiaoying, wearing a new light brown uniform, standing on the south side of the corridor, lecturing two new waiters with a sullen face.
This little girl seems to have become a little leader, and it really looks like that. Li Youran couldn't help but laugh. Since the leader is busy, he won't disturb her.
Li Youran walked into the hall, found Zhao Cuihua, and said that a friend was coming over at noon and asked her to arrange a seat by the window. Zhao Cuihua nodded and began to pay attention to the row of dining tables by the window.
Li Youran was also watching, thinking that if it didn't work, he might as well go to the private restaurant to deal with it, since business was slow now anyway.
After a while, the guests at the two tables in the south stood up and left. Zhao Cuihua walked over quickly and placed a sign that read "Reserved" on the table for four by the window.
The customers who were queuing up to be seated at the dining area were very dissatisfied when they saw this and asked what happened. Zhao Cuihua kept a smile on her face and tried to trick her into getting over.
The dining management method of the new store is different from that of the old store. It is based on the practices of other fast food chain stores. That is, customers must first go to the counter to pay and issue a ticket, then go to the food counter with the ticket to pick up the meal tray, and then find a seat to eat by themselves. When there are many people,
, slow down at the dining area and wait for a vacant seat to appear.
After the problem was solved, Li Youran also left the hall and went up to the sunroom on the second floor from the southern entrance of the backyard. This room covered an area of more than 20 square meters, with only a few tables and chairs, and was temporarily used as a lounge.
He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window with his hands folded, from where he could see the north entrance of Shiguxiang Street.
Li Youran felt a little excited and a little uneasy, as if he was back to the state of the young boy he was back then.
At noon, a red Mazda3 finally appeared. It drove into the intersection nimbly, and first drove to the entrance of the old Baozi Pu store. It seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then continued forward. It slowed down at the entrance of the new store, but could not find a parking space.
After receiving Li Youran's instructions, Zhao Cuihua ran out of the store, guided the Mazda3 into the alley at the south end of the new store, and stopped in the small parking lot next to the bun shop.
The car door opened, and Ling Wanru, who was wearing a dark red woolen coat, got out of the car first. She still had the same black and shiny shawl hair, fair and delicate face, and bright eyes. As she looked around, she felt a sense of clarity.
The gas comes naturally.
The two female companions accompanying her also got out of the car one after another. The one who got off the driver's seat had big eyes and a round face, and looked very cute; the other one wore black-rimmed glasses, was somewhat intellectually beautiful, and looked a little older.
some.
Zhao Cuihua stepped forward and said a few words, then led them back to the new store gate.
When the group of people entered the store, they attracted the attention of many customers, especially young people. This is no wonder. Although the term "beauty" has been rampant in today's society and has almost become a synonym for women. But in fact, it really makes people look at it.
Beautiful women who are pleasing to the eye are still extremely rare. If compared with jewelry, its rarity is about the same as glass-type high-green jadeite.
Ling Wanru had long been immune to this kind of gaze from everyone. She followed Zhao Cuihua to the reserved dining table with an indifferent expression, put down her handbag, took off her coat, put it on the back of the chair, and sat down elegantly. The other two
The female companions also sat down separately.
Ling Wanru, who was wearing a lavender sweater, held her chin in one hand and looked at the environment of the hall curiously. Obviously, the scale and popularity of this place exceeded her original imagination.
"There are too many people here, we might as well go to Lucica's restaurant." The bespectacled female companion frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with the dining environment.
"Xiaoman, the more people there means the food is delicious. If we didn't know the boss here, we would have to wait in line for a long time, so just be satisfied." said the round-faced girl.
"Yeah, this is the first time I've seen someone book a seat. I was wondering just now, but it turned out to be a friend of Boss Li." A middle-aged woman at the next table was curious about the three of them, so she struck up a conversation.
"Auntie, do you know Boss Li too?" Ling Wanru said with a smile.
"Hey, who doesn't know Boss Xiao Li on this street? Since the first day the old bun shop opened, I only bought the buns from here and couldn't eat anything else."
"This pretty girl has an advantage. We waited in line for forty minutes just now. It's not like you made arrangements in advance." Another aunt in her fifties at the next table also joined the conversation.
.
Ling Wanru smiled and was noncommittal. The female companion named Xiaoman didn't seem to be interested in this kind of conversation. She turned her head to the window and looked at the street scene outside.
At this moment, Li Youran appeared in a light gray jacket. There was no need to wear a uniform in the store, which was a privilege only for the boss. Behind him were Zhao Xiuer and another waitress, each holding a rectangular dinner plate in their hands.
, there are steamed buns, soy milk, and several plates of side dishes on the dinner plate.
"Wan Ru, you're here." Li Youran took a deep breath to try to calm down. Then he walked closer and greeted.
"Boss Xiao Li, your business has grown so big, it really surprises me." Ling Wanru smiled and looked at Li Youran.
"Where, where, haha." Facing the intoxicating smile, Li Youran's head was a little dazed, and he could only answer this.
"Let me introduce, these are my two friends, Fang Xiaoman and Su Yao. This is boss Li, Li Youran." Ling Wanru stood up and introduced.
"Boss Xiao Li, I know that you are very famous in our school, and you have a student fan club. We will come here more often in the future, so please take more care of us." Su Yao stretched out her little hand and shook it with Li Youran.
Xiaoman stood up reluctantly and nodded at the other party.
"Definitely, definitely." Li Youran agreed quickly. Then he moved away, and Zhao Xiuer and Zhao Xiuer stepped forward and placed the food on the dining table one by one.
"Hey, boss Li personally provides the service. The service is really attentive." The middle-aged woman at the next table joked.
"It's no wonder, I heard that Boss Li is still single. It's understandable, that's understandable." The aunt who was about fifty years old also said with a smile. Many people around turned their eyes here with interest and whispered.
Topics like how beautiful women receive preferential treatment and don’t even have to wait in line.
Li Youran made a huge blush, he couldn't stay any longer. He said, "Please use it slowly," and then quickly left.
"Boss Li seems to like you very much. Look at his face turning red, hehe." Su Yao said to Ling Wanru with a smile.
"Go, eat something, I have something to do in the afternoon." Ling Wanru's face turned slightly red, but she quickly returned to normal and glared at Su Yao.
Fang Xiaoman did not participate in the conversation. She looked at the buns on the plate with critical eyes, slowly opened one with chopsticks, picked up a small piece and put it into her mouth. Her eyes immediately opened wide, full of surprise.
color.
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
Sun Xiaoying stood next to the counter, her little mouth pursed, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes. Brother Youran actually showed off his love in front of the beautiful woman.
Qin, huh, you must have learned bad things from that stinky fat guy.
The two trainee waiters left far away just now. Manager Sun is obviously in a bad mood. Don't provoke her now.
