As an adult, Wen Ying was able to understand her parents' emotional needs despite being surprised.
Not to mention her mental age, even at her current biological age, she is still 16 years old. After being abandoned by her parents for a day, it's not like Wen Ying can't take care of herself.
What's more, there is good news today. The editor of "Eige" told her that her two novels have passed the review and will be published in November and December respectively. The royalties will be paid after the publication.
"Xiaoyu, your ability to control the rhythm of the story is not like that of a new author. What you lacked before was the emotional and delicate description, but now you are making great progress with each article. I don't know what happened in your life, I can only
I say this is a good change. If you are interested, you can try to conceive a long serialized story. I cannot guarantee that you will be able to pass the draft, but you can try."
Wen Ying had submitted three manuscripts to the same magazine and the same editor, and finally got an invitation from the editor.
It turns out that a person's state of mind can really affect the state of writing. The editor said that good changes had taken place in Wen Ying's life, and Wen Ying did not deny it.
Compared with her previous life, her life now is indeed very good.
Aunt Chen Li and uncle Deng Shangwei are not divorced.
She gradually figured out how to get along with her parents.
I have a few more good friends.
These changes made Wen Ying's whole person become softer. When she calmed down, she became more aware of every detail in life. Some people always say that only through pain can one write profound works. Wen Ying does not deny it, but she will
Hiding those pains, she wants her works to bring a little warmth to others.
The editor asked her to write a long series. Wen Ying wanted to take advantage of this weekend to think about it. She originally wanted to listen to Chen Ru and stay at home. However, the foreman of the decoration team of the 'Shrimp King' physical store called Wen Ying and called her
Go over and take a look.
October is already the end of the crayfish season. After October, the meat of crayfish is not so plump, and the crayfish business enters the off-season.
The owner of the barbecue restaurant, Liu, caught up with the last season of this year. His franchise store is not located in the midnight snack street, and it has been very popular since it opened.
Wen Ying and the others wanted to build their own physical store into a template to attract franchisees, so the decoration was slow and the progress lagged behind that of Da Liu's store.
Crayfish has entered the off-season, which does not mean that the business of 'Shrimp King' has entered the off-season. Although the investment in physical stores is larger than that of roadside stalls, there are advantages. It is not as restrictive as roadside stalls. Even if it is a late night snack in winter, diners will
We don’t have to chill out on the roadside. We can sit and eat slowly in the store, turn on the air conditioning, and drink some wine. It’s still worth the trip.
The quality of the crayfish meat was no longer good, so Wen Ying suggested that we should focus on prawns, sixty-year-old shrimps and spicy crabs in winter. These dishes were developed to ensure that the 'Shrimp King' still has revenue during the off-season for crayfish, and to protect Wen Ying and others and the franchisees.
interests, but offends the interests of others.
The physical store on the night snack street has not yet opened, so these dishes are sold at temporary stalls for the time being. In order to promote word-of-mouth, these dishes are priced relatively cheap. The first one to be affected is the seafood stall that Shu Guobing opened in the night snack street first.
, the workers hired by Shu Guobing have had several conflicts with the workers at the 'Shrimp King' stall.
The foreman of the decoration team called Wen Ying over because the decoration workers had just arrived today and found that a lot of dirt had been thrown at the construction site.
It was so disgusting to describe in words. When Wen Ying arrived, the foreman had already had people clean up the scene.
The filth has been cleaned, but the smell has not gone away.
The decoration team was introduced by Deng Shangwei. The foreman also knew that Wen Ying was Deng Shangwei's niece. While notifying Wen Ying, he also notified Deng Shangwei. Deng Shangwei arrived faster than Wen Ying.
Seeing Wen Ying, Deng Shangwei comforted her: "It's just a small matter. Maybe some family dumped the garbage in the wrong place for convenience."
"Uncle, please stop telling such lies. As long as you are not blind, you can see that this is not a garbage dump. This is not a perversion, it is intentional."
As soon as Wen Ying heard about this, she locked the suspect in her heart.
There is no one else but Shu Guobing who can use such despicable methods.
If the physical store of 'Shrimp King' opens successfully, Shu Guobing's seafood food stall will be most affected.
What's more, even if they don't compete for business, how can Wen Ying make money happily with Zhao Dong here?
Deng Shangwei was also afraid that Wen Ying would be impulsive, so Wen Ying smiled and said, "Uncle, I always convince people with reason."
"..."
What a persuasive person!
He said it as if it was someone else who took advantage of the situation and asked him for pocket money.
Deng Shangwei asked Wen Ying what he planned to do. Wen Ying walked around the store and said, "There are potential safety hazards here. I'm going to discuss this with Director Lu."
Night Supper Street is an old street that is very popular, but various modern facilities cannot keep up.
During previous food festivals, the street office improved environmental sanitation and made the storefronts and temporary stalls in the midnight snack street more standardized and tidy. However, when building a modern street, just improving environmental sanitation is far from enough.
There was no mobile payment in 2004. People would bring wallets with them when they went out. The more crowded the place, the more thieves appeared. The hardest hit areas for theft in Chengdu were mainly in the train stations and several major wholesale markets, especially the Lotus Pond Wholesale Market. Carrying bags
When I go shopping there, I often find a huge hole in my bag when I leave!
The night snack streets are better, but thefts still happen frequently.
Wen Ying wanted to install several surveillance cameras around the 'Shrimp King' physical store, and she had to inform Director Lu about this.
She deliberately set up an account in front of Director Lu. The surveillance caught some people breaking the rules, and Wen Ying would never show mercy.
Director Lu has already heard about what happened at the Shrimp King. Someone did this before it even opened. Director Lu is disgusted:
"For so many years, this kind of thing has never happened in the whole street. Everyone is harmonious. However, there is a rat droppings that wants to destroy a pot of soup. You can monitor the person and send him to the police station if you catch him. No one will be killed.
Let it go!”
Director Lu also roughly guessed who was responsible, but the other party acted late at night and failed to catch him.
There are many shops in the midnight snack street, and friction is inevitable when doing business. Usually, the two shop owners will vent their anger by yelling at each other with their arms akimbo. It is quite rare for someone to persistently seek trouble like this.
In business, it is important to be friendly and make money. If someone would rather not make money, they would always find trouble with the "Shrimp King". It is simply seeking revenge.
Several of the bosses of 'Shrimp King' are students, and they are chasing after a few underage students. Director Lu feels that they have no reputation.
Wen Ying felt that not only the entrance of the Shrimp King, but also the entire street should be installed with several surveillance cameras. The more times they were caught, the fewer thieves would be cut off.
"Isn't it autumn? It's time to prune the branches of the banyan trees on the street, don't you think?"
Banyan trees are planted on both sides of the night snack street. The banyan trees grow quickly and have luxuriant branches, covering the street like green clouds. Because the direct sunlight is reduced, the ground temperature of the entire street is lower than other places in summer. This
This is the original advantage of the night snack street that attracts diners.
The banyan trees on both sides are the natural air conditioners of the night snack street. Because they grow so fast, their branches need to be pruned every year, otherwise the tree crowns will block all the light, bringing not coolness but gloominess.
When Wen Ying said this, Director Lu understood instantly.
By pruning the branches of the banyan tree, people climbing up and down are not noticeable, and no one knows even if the surveillance system is installed.
Wen Ying wanted to catch the person who destroyed the decoration of the 'Shrimp King'. Director Lu thought about it and felt that this method was feasible. When Wen Ying came out of the street office, a figure sneakily ran back to Shu Guobing's seafood stall.
Shu Guobing put his feet on the table and picked his teeth:
"That stinky girl must have gone to complain to Director Lu. Director Lu from the sub-district office did not know how many benefits he received from her, but he has always been very protective of her."
In Shu Guobing's eyes, no official is a good person. He doesn't understand what ideals and aspirations are. He doesn't believe that Wen Dongrong has not committed corruption, and he doesn't believe that Director Lu has confiscated benefits.
The only thing Shu Guobing didn't understand was that Director Lu only accepted benefits from Wen Ying and not from him. With Director Lu's care, it would not be easy for Shu Guobing to bring down the 'Shrimp King' and drive him away.
After several conflicts, 'Shrimp King' suffered little loss. Shu Guobing saw the decoration progress of 'Shrimp King''s physical store being completed day by day. He felt unhappy and resorted to dirty tricks.
If this kind of thing happens several times and spreads out, diners will feel disgusted when they think of the word "Shrimp King". How can they still come to buy it?
Shu Guobing wants to make the ‘Shrimp King’’s rent and decoration expenses go down the drain!
When Shu Lu heard that Wen Ying had hurriedly arrived, she went to the street office with a very unhappy face. She was very happy, but she did not forget to remind Shu Guobing: "Dad, you have to be careful about getting caught."
Since Wen Ying went to the street office, there might be someone patrolling at night.
Shu Guobing laughed loudly, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
This kind of thing will definitely have to wait until the Shrimp King relaxes its vigilance before it happens again.
Shu Lu laughed, thinking about the gossip she heard from her classmates. She took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Zhao Dong:
"I don't know if this news is useful to you. Yesterday Xie Qian was invited to be a parent. I heard that he handed in a blank paper and it was Xie Qian's mother who came to school."
Xie Qian stood in the corridor for so long. After the evening self-study get out of class, this matter spread throughout the school.
Shu Lu also learned the news after her evening self-study get out of class.
I heard that Xie Qian was invited to be a parent. Xie Qian's mother came to the school. She is a beautiful woman with outstanding temperament.
Shu Lu was very sad.
If she had known earlier, she would have blocked Xie Qian's mother last night.
She has not made any progress in what Zhao Dong told her to do. If Zhao Dong is dissatisfied and withdraws his help to the Shu family, her whole family will be beaten back to their original shape.
Shu Guobing made trouble for the 'Shrimp King', but Shu Lu didn't stop him.
If Wen Ying is upset more, Wen Ying may reveal more flaws.
What a shame last night!
It would be great if she could talk to Xie Qian's mother! If Xie Qian's mother was willing to trust her, she could take the opportunity to drive Wen Ying away from Xie Qian, or even replace Wen Ying and become friends with Xie Qian.
Zhao Dong is so rich, doesn't he run errands for Xie Qian's family?
If I can be friends with Xie Qian, I can live a good life without relying on Zhao Dong.
