"Yuan Ju Yuan Du" is a cafe in New Capital City not very close to Yandu Conservatory of Music, but it is one of the places where you can most often find Qu Yun.
The reason is funny. The new capital city is in dilapidated state, and most of the private houses are named after words such as hope and prosperity. They are just for good luck and it is also convenient to apply for government subsidies.
This subsidy is really quite a lot. Since the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the change of dynasties, the Dayong court has always been a model of caring for the people like children. This kind of issue related to the people's food and clothing has never been ambiguous.
But for Miss Qu, who likes to be unconventional, seeing the same plaques on the road every day is a pain in the ass.
The plaque "Yuan Ju Yuan Broken" is hung on the lintel of the door as a horizontal comment, and on both sides of the door hang two couplets with elegant and subtle fonts:
Thousands of miles of karma bring us together, but if we break the fetters, we will be separated.
Well, you read that right, it’s a cafe, not a teahouse.
The quaint wooden building is filled with Western-style food and drinks, plus the quiet booths and the obviously treasonous couplets after the catastrophe, which made Miss Qu give up the newly built library building and not have to take a taxi every day.
Study enchantment here.
It is rumored that the proprietress Huo Bieli has no background, and the pairing is just based on her own experience and insights. And this pairing that goes against the main theme does not cause any trouble. It is just because Yuanju Yuanduan is a very expensive store.
How expensive is it? The cheapest latte is one gold dollar a cup, which is one hundred silver dollars. Nowadays, a family of three who has just entered the well-off standard in Dayong can only earn twenty gold dollars a month. Before joining Lamarck Game, Qu Yun was a tycoon.
I can't even afford to die.
The seemingly unreliable marketing strategy has spread like wildfire among the upper circles of Xinyan City. As a result, the company always welcomes more than a dozen groups of customers every day.
At first, it was just for the charming decoration that was carefully hidden under the simplicity; or for the occasional live piano performance by the beautiful lady boss. Later, the reputation spread, and many more customers came for the purpose of making connections.
The guests are either rich or noble, either princes or nobles, or wealthy businessmen. If these people are happy, the Shu Xie Mansion will naturally not come to trouble for the sake of the couple.
And today, Qu Yun didn’t bring any money.
Of course, it’s not that I have no money or that I forgot, but since I have Kang Sini following me, I have completely avoided the trouble of carrying hard gold and silver coins on my body. Today I hitched a ride with Lan Feng, and then the owner of the car took the money owner
Went to pick someone up.
Furthermore, as the next game date was approaching, Qu Yun made appointments with two groups of people, and both parties expressed their intention to treat them.
No matter what, I never imagined that this new waiter who came today would make things difficult for me to pay now.
Logically speaking, such a situation should not happen when the relationship is over. Qu Yun frowned slightly, rolled up her hair with her fingers, and did not look away from the "Compendium of Enchanting Active Materials" in her hand.
"Don't talk nonsense. If you don't have money, don't pretend to be a big talk. We don't want to embarrass you little girl. Now call your adults to talk to you."
It’s not surprising that Qu Yun’s appearance is often regarded as a junior high school student outside. It’s just that she is very good at thinking about the waiter’s words. The first half of the annoying words are not loud, and the second half of the words are slightly raised, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
It can be heard by people at three or four tables present without causing any objection to other guests.
"You're new here and don't know me. Let's ask Sister Huo to talk." Qu Yun sighed softly and continued to stare at the book, never looking at the waiter in the eye.
Unexpectedly, the waiter actually reached out and knocked the book out of Qu Yun's hand, leaned over and lowered his voice to threaten: "Sister Huo, is this what you, a poor student, can call you? If you don't call your adults, don't even think about stepping out of my house today."
Son."
Qu Yun was stunned, and the structure of the magic circuit in her mind was interrupted. She raised the corner of her mouth, but her voice was cold:
"All the adults in my family are dead. If you keep mentioning this, I'm afraid it's already clear to you. Saying this means you don't want to continue working here. Let Yizi guess who asked you to come to trouble me.
, and how many benefits did it give you?"
Qu Yun never shied away from her family affairs, but the waiter behaved abnormally, obviously to deliberately provoke and embarrass herself. But the salary of Yun Yun must be high, and it is not easy for the waiter to make such a provocation.
.
The waiter was about to have a seizure when he saw a person standing in the booth inside. He was wearing a suit and tie and gold-rimmed glasses, and he looked like a young and well-to-do business person.
The young businessman stopped the waiter and took out a black plastic card about the same size as a computer notebook: "Don't embarrass a girl, I paid her bill."
In addition to her lolita figure, Qu Yun's appearance and temperament are outstanding. It is common for such "heroes to save the beauty" when encountering problems. But this person Qu Yun looks familiar, and if she thinks about it, she seems to have seen her around Huo Xin.
Since the last game, when Hao Han sent a good guy card to Huo Xin during the Taoist robbery, this young master has appeared in his life again and again. Sometimes in the supermarket, he helps him carry his bags, and sometimes in the gym, he meets him showing off his power.
There are a lot of boys who have chased Qu Yun since she was a child, but she can't feel any disgust for Huo Xin. Without him, this person makes her feel no sense of purpose. There is no confession, no ambiguity, and no showing off.
, no stalking.
Although this is the psychological profile of Director Qu Yun, we can only conclude that Huo Xin is a good young man who wants to make pure friends with him.
Qu Yun is very capable of dealing with evil intentions, but always has trouble dealing with good intentions. In fact, this is normal, because no one has been really nice to her since she was a child.
Instinctively, Qu Yun interpreted Huo Xin's impeccable kindness as a closeness with ulterior motives. However, since she could not see any bad intentions in the other party for the moment, Qu Yun felt that it was better not to be too repulsive. Lan Feng had advised herself that the problem of not having friends was ultimately the problem.
It was still caused by herself. Qu Yun didn’t want this either.
But no matter what, she had no intention of accepting the young businessman's help. Especially when she caught a glimpse of Hao Han and the others who slipped out of the front door while taking advantage of the commotion here.
It's not a big deal, but it's not as simple as it seems.
So Qu Yun smiled softly: "Thank you, but at no cost to this gentleman, Yi Zi also made an appointment."
I made an appointment and someone will pay the bill. So I don’t have time to talk to you. Thank you for walking slowly.
The young businessman concealed his displeasure very well, handed over the card in his hand and said: "Meeting is fate, and we are destined to meet each other thousands of miles apart."
Qu Yun caught Qu Yun's attention when the card was handed to her. She originally thought it was a business card, but when she looked closely, she found that it looked a bit like the invitation card she had asked Lan Feng to enter the game. The difference was that there was a row of raised words on this black card.
No., Yan 43854.
Because it was somewhat similar to the Lamarck invitation card, Qu Yun had to take it anyway and look at it. Unexpectedly, the waiter pouted and whispered:
"Haha, as a girl, if you accept money from others, I'm afraid it's not a clean status."
money?
In addition to gold, silver, and copper coins, the only money circulating in Dayong is silver notes issued by banks. Even in foreign currencies, I have never heard of any country using savings books as bank notes.
"Haha, I wrongly blamed you. It turns out that you are a country bumpkin and don't know Shangka." The waiter sneered.
The young businessman on the side also smiled lightly and said: "It's okay if you don't know. Commercial cards are generally used by rich people and companies to transfer large amounts of money. You can directly plug it into the computer's storage drive to transfer money online, or you can swipe the card in high-end stores.
Isn’t it very convenient for consumption? Of course, you need a deposit of 10,000 yuan in a bank to open a card.”
The tone concealed the arrogance, but it could not hide it from Qu Yun's ears.
Still not knowing who was trying to trick her, another man came to Qu Yun's desk.
He had just come in from the main entrance. He was dressed very much like a young businessman. But he was younger. Some people would believe that he was a high school student. Compared to the former's exaggeration, his face was more serious, but his suit did not have any trademarks, and he looked much more restrained.
"Qu Yun?"
"Yes, who are you?"
"I am Yin Yisheng, Yin Xiyi's younger brother. This is the payment for the goods that my sister agreed to send you, one hundred thousand gold yuan."
As the visitor spoke, he pressed a business card numbered "Yan 00894" on the table and pushed it in front of Qu Yun.
