After Xia Zhi finished cleaning, when he saw Tachibana Aya again, she was holding her laptop that Xia Zhi hadn't seen for an unknown amount of time in her hand. By the way, Xia Zhi's slightly impressed eyes were also covered by her eyes.
After getting in, Xiaoxi also followed Tachibana Aya and ran in from outside the store. After entering, she ran to Xia Zhi's feet, pulled her trouser legs, and meowed. Xia Zhi bent down slightly,
He rubbed Xiao Xi's little head and said, "I thought you were going back to work. Why did you suddenly think of working?"
"For our bright future." Tachibana Aya said solemnly, then squatted down holding the laptop in one hand: "Xiaoxi, come here."
Xia Zhi thought that Xiao Xi would be the same as before, lingering and refusing to go over, but this time she meowed at herself twice and quickly ran back. Strangely, Xia Zhi watched
Tachibana Aya: "What did you do to Xiaoxi?"
"I've been raising you for more than half a year, no matter what you say, you should listen to me, right?" Tachibana Aya picked up Xiaoxi and walked towards the corner of the store. Xia Zhi remembered that it was where she used to be
I chose the location when I was typing up the manuscript in the store. Xia Zhidu didn’t know how long it had been since he saw this scene, and he was a little emotional.
"Ah, by the way, Natsuchi, bring me the coffee I didn't finish just now. If I finish drinking it, make me another cup." Tachibana Aya sat down in the seat she chose, and then faced Natsuhi.
Zhi shouted. Probably feeling that this was not good, she shouted again: "Thank you!"
Xia Zhi didn't feel even the slightest hint of gratitude from her words. If this was a comic or animation, the veins on Xia Zhi's forehead would have bulged out. As the saying goes, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters, but these
To be honest, people who do big things tend to make people angry easily.
The cup of coffee that Tachibana Aya drank before has been finished by her. She is rarely frugal. She eats all the snacks she opens in one go and leaves nothing of the snacks she buys. The same goes for coffee.
There will never be any leftover time. Xia Zhi has already put away the cup she drinks coffee from. If she wants it again, she will have to make it for her again. Xia Zhi started operating at the counter.
Mayumi finished cleaning the part she took over and walked towards this side.
"Why did Tachibana-senpai run over there?"
"I don't know why she suddenly thought of working. I almost forgot that she still had work to do."
Mayumi was a little surprised: "Tachibana-senpai suddenly thought of work? Is it because of what I said to her?"
"I don't know what you said to her, but it would be great if she could go to work. At least she looks like a normal person now."
Mayumi was a little confused: "But Tachibana-senpai is not the kind of person who listens to others easily. Was it Natsuki what did you say to her?"
Xia Zhi shook his head: "Well, that's good. Although I don't know the reason, it's a good thing, so don't worry. Please help me turn over the sign on the door of the store. It's time to get ready for business.
"
"Yeah." Mayumi nodded and went to look at the business sign at the door of the store. The store manager hadn't come by this time, and he probably wouldn't be able to come today, but the problem wasn't that big. Xia Zhi had already gotten used to it.
After pouring the freshly brewed coffee into a cup, Xia Zhi put it on the table: "Mayumi, take it to her. By the way, let her settle the bill for the last cup with me. If she doesn't settle, don't give it to her."
Mayumi nodded, and then went to get the coffee Natsuki placed on the counter. Before her hand touched the cup, Tachibana Aya over there suddenly shouted: "Natsuchi! Come here!"
Xia Zhi glanced at her and then at Mayumi, who had already taken back her hand.
"Xia Zhi, you should go there by yourself."
Natsuki pouted, picked up the coffee cup and walked out of the counter. Mayumi walked into the counter naturally. She was used to it. Usually when something like this happened, Natsuki wouldn't be able to come back for a while.
, so she consciously assumed the responsibility of a multi-functional store clerk.
"I paid for the two cups of coffee." Xia Zhi stood next to Tachibana Aya and stretched out his hand to her. Tachibana Aya was stunned.
"Although I have just realized this, it's a bit too much for you to come to me to collect the debt just after I decided to work hard."
"What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing." Tachibana Aya felt in her pocket and took out a five thousand yen note: "There's no need to change it. I'll just treat it as a tip for you."
Xia Zhi raised his hands.
"Say it again."
"No, no, no, no." Tachibana Aya hugged her head: "Just take it first, maybe you will order something else later, and just pay me back the rest of the money when you go back."
"It's easy to forget."
"It's okay if you forget. My money is your money, and your money is my money."
Xia Zhi was too lazy to argue with her about this. He held the five thousand yen note in his hand, and there was no way he could forget it in such a short time.
"So, what are you looking for me for?"
"Oh yes, I almost forgot." Tachibana Aya finally remembered the business: "I just informed my nominal editor, telling her that I will send her the manuscript of the new book in the next two days and let her
have a look."
"What? So you've already finished writing?"
"I finished writing a long time ago, because I don't have anything to do alone during the New Year. Except for going to the shrine to pay homage on the first day, and then buying some snacks to eat, I stayed at home and wrote the manuscript, and I wrote it very quickly.
It's over. How about it, is it awesome?" Tachibana Aya's face had a very obvious "Come and praise me" expression, but Xia Zhi discovered the essence of this matter: "In other words, you clearly had more than ten days
You've been putting off doing something that can be done for several months?"
???
"Can you look at the problem from such a tricky angle?"
"But what I said is the truth." Xia Zhi felt that he could not tolerate such behavior.
"Anyway, I just finished writing the manuscript, and now I'm preparing to send it out. That's how it goes."
"Isn't this nice? What did you ask me to do?"
"I'm calling you because I want to tell you that I may get a sample book from the publishing house later, but I never asked for a sample book before because it might reveal my true identity, so this time I can give my address
Fill in your house?"
"You didn't want it before, why did you want it this time?"
"I need to eat." She spread her hands and said, "If I collect the sample books, then I don't have to buy them myself, and I can save some money."
"You weren't so stingy when you said you wanted to tip me just now."
"Is giving money to you the same as giving money to others?"
Hearing Tachibana Aya's suggestive words again, Xia Zhi rolled her eyes.
