Fu Yuan must have carefully considered today when he chose today as the day to open the Ximen Yipin Hotpot branch in Tianyun City.
Saturday is obviously a good day. It falls on Saturday and Sunday in the first two days of opening, so it is easier to gain popularity.
Near noon.
Diners in twos and threes began to enter Ximen Yipin Hot Pot Restaurant. As time went by, the occupancy rate in the store became higher and higher, and gradually it became crowded and fragrant.
Xu Tongdao, Xi Dongyang, and Tang Qing were sitting at a table for four in the corner, drinking tea leisurely, watching the store become more and more popular, and also watching the busy and unhurried figures of the waiters in the store.
…
A red Volkswagen Beetle came to this street and stopped in the parking lot across the road from Ximen Yipin Hot Pot Restaurant.
The driver's seat window glass slowly lowered.
A woman with short hair was seen in the driver's seat of the car, and a girl with long hair was in the passenger seat.
The short-haired woman is in her early thirties, wearing a lead-gray women's short-sleeved shirt on her upper body, and an exquisite women's watch with a leather strap on her left wrist.
This woman's appearance is not outstanding, she is just a little pretty.
But he has a good temperament and looks very capable.
The long-haired girl in the passenger seat is much prettier, with a delicate oval face and perfect facial features. Her eyes, nose, and mouth are not outstanding, but when combined together, they are pleasing to the eye.
A pair of rimless glasses.
A floral short-sleeved shirt on the upper body.
The writing is quiet and has a light bookish air.
As the car window glass lowered, the girl smiled slightly and said: "Auntie, this store is open today, why don't we go up and have a look?"
The short-haired woman in the driver's seat shook her head slightly, "Don't worry, let's wait here for a while to see if there are many people coming in."
After a pause, she turned to look at the girl in the passenger seat, "Jing'er, your information is correct, right? Are you sure the boss behind this store is really a young man two years younger than you? And
Or start from scratch? Open dozens of stores in just a few years?"
Jing'er pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose and nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, auntie, this is what my dad said himself, and it can't be wrong! When I first heard about this man, I was as surprised as you. A
This guy who came from the countryside and graduated from junior high school is so good at business. He is a genius in business. I don’t know if he is in the store today. If he is, we might see him later."
The short-haired woman nodded slightly.
He looked towards the Ximen Yipin Hot Pot Restaurant across the road.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "If this kid is really as powerful as you say, then with your father's connections, let's ride on his coattails and get a share in his business. How else?
In a few years, we can also make a fortune, ha,
Jing'er, maybe when you get married, you can earn a generous dowry yourself. Let me tell you, when a woman gets married, the richer the dowry, the higher your status will be in your husband's family in the future.
, your man doesn’t dare to look down on you either!”
Jing'er rolled her eyes slightly, "Auntie, look at what you said! You're not married yet. Even if you get married, you'll be the first! I'm still early!"
The short-haired woman glanced at her angrily, "Go! Why are you comparing yourself to me? It's not like you don't know that your aunt doesn't want to get married. By the way, how are you and Su Kun doing lately? Are you okay?"
Jing'er: "That's it! Auntie, can we not talk about him?"
Short-haired woman: "Oh, don't you want to say that he will also be your man in the future, and his father's position is higher than yours. Can you still withdraw from this marriage?"
Hearing what her aunt said, Jing'er looked a little helpless and curled her lips.
Just don't answer the call anymore.
…
At this moment, two men and two women, a total of four young people in their twenties, walked past their car chatting and laughing, quickly crossed the road, and trotted away to the Ximen Yipin Hot Pot Restaurant opposite.
At the same time, Comrade Xu, accompanied by Xi Dongyang and Tang Qing, came out of the gate of Ximen Yipin Hot Pot Restaurant.
Tongdao Xu walked to the roadside and stopped under the shade of a tree, took out his cigarette case, handed one to Xi Dongyang, and then lowered his head to light one himself.
There were more and more diners in the hall upstairs, and it was so noisy that he couldn't sit still, so he wanted to come out for some air.
As soon as the cigarette was lit, I heard a surprised greeting from the front, "Huh? Xu, Comrade Xu? Is that you, Comrade Xu? Hey, it's really you! Comrade Xu, I haven't seen you in a few years, what are you doing, why are you here?"
Here?"
It was the voice of a young man.
Comrade Xu sounded something familiar, so he frowned and looked up at the sound.
Sure enough, I saw a somewhat familiar face.
Two men and two women, four young people. The tallest man among them, Comrade Xu, looked very familiar, as if he was his classmate in the third grade of junior high school.
In the third year of junior high school, he and this man were assigned to the same class and were classmates for one year.
The senior three-year class is a tradition of the rural middle school they attended. Every year, dozens of students with the best grades in the third grade of junior high school are singled out to form an experimental class.
It's called "Experimental Class", but it's actually a top class. It's a group of dozens of students that the school focuses on cultivating and protecting every year. How many students from their middle school are admitted to County No. 1 Middle School and County No. 2 Middle School each year mainly depends on this experimental class.
.
"Oh? It's you! Long time no see, who are you? Are these your friends?"
Suddenly seeing his classmate here, Xu Tongdao wanted to call this classmate's name to show that he had not forgotten this old classmate.
but……
For him, his classmates in the third grade of junior high school were already people he had known a long, long time ago.
At least twenty years ago.
He obviously seemed to be able to recall this classmate's name right away, but it seemed that he just couldn't remember it just a little bit.
He had no choice but to ignore the classmate's name and just exchange greetings.
As for his classmate, he didn't think so much. Maybe he didn't believe that Comrade Xu wouldn't be able to call him by name in just a few years, right?
He enthusiastically introduced the man and two women beside him, "Oh, yes! They are all my college classmates. This is Yang Song. These two beauties are Tao Ran and Song Yihan. We are here to play today, Saturday.
By the way, Comrade Xu, I remember that your score was enough to go to the County No. 2 Middle School, right? Why did I later hear that you didn’t go to the County No. 2 Middle School? Isn’t it too wasteful for you? How many classmates wanted to go to the County No. 2 Middle School, but they didn’t get into it. You
Passed the exam but didn't go to school? What have you been doing these past few years?"
"Hello!"
Comrade Xu smiled at the man and two women, nodded and said hello.
The three people responded with polite smiles.
After hearing what they just said, the three people looked at Comrade Xu with a little curiosity.
These days, universities have not yet expanded their enrollment, and the admission rate of high schools is extremely low. Only a handful of top students are admitted to the county's No. 1 and No. 2 middle schools every year.
There is a guy here who was admitted to the County No. 2 Middle School but didn't go to school?
