It was already midnight when Zhang Li left Ren Qingyun's house. Ren Qingyun wanted to see her off, but she refused.
It was a night of reunion for thousands of families, full of peace.
Beautiful fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and the deafening sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the city.
Thousands of lights warm the world.
Tonight the midnight hour is two years old, and the fifth watch of the Ming Dynasty is divided into two years.
Zhang Li was alone on the street, tightly wrapped in her down jacket and walking slowly.
Such a night and such a mood can easily remind people of the past.
But the past has passed after all, no matter how much you think about it, you can't turn back time and you can't go back to the past.
Just thinking about it, I watched the movie about the people and things in the past. The hate I loved and the hate I had became faded. I even passed it by when I thought about it. I couldn't bear to look back, and I didn't want to mention it.
No matter what, when you are over forty, you no longer have confusion, and many things have been put aside. The reason why you feel excited is because after all, it is the pain of the past.
Walking in the peaceful and sad New Year's Eve, when the cold wind blew, Zhang Li felt much better and her heart became much calmer.
A horn sounded from behind, and then Ren Qingyun's red car stopped beside him.
"Get in the car and see you off." Ren Qingyun rolled down the window and said to Zhang Li.
"No, I want to take a walk." Zhang Li said.
"Come on, it's cold outside."
"I really want to take a walk."
Zhang Li ignored Ren Qingyun and walked forward.
Ren Qingyun was sitting in the car, his mood could not be said to be good or bad, looking thoughtfully at Zhang Li walking in front of him.
He had heard about what his brother said about the military representatives. It was widely spread in the aircraft factory and many people knew about it.
He didn't expect that the heroine turned out to be his current girlfriend. After getting the confirmation, he felt uncomfortable, as if he had picked up a worn-out shoe.
He knew that Zhang Li had an unfortunate marriage that lasted for two years, but what he didn't know was------
To be honest, he couldn't bear it, but he couldn't bear it.
This is a kind of dark and hypocritical expression. You care about the past of the person you love, and you can't live with it. At the same time, you are reluctant to part with the beauty and excellence of the person you love now, and you want to have it.
This is like falling in love with a conscientious prostitute. She cares about her past and doesn't want to get married, but wants to be with her, get and possess her. To put it bluntly, she is the real-life version of Du Shiniang, except that Zhang Li is not a prostitute.
A person's advantages are often ignored, and those things that the world calls disgraceful are easily remembered and often brought out during judgment to label people as bad. This is almost a common problem.
Like many celebrities who have become famous, there are dedicated people who serve as social critics to dig up people's past events. The more outrageous the better, and they will never give up until they make people look bad. This is their pleasure.
People are also strange, they love to see these and talk about them with great enthusiasm.
It’s not a good idea to do something when you have time. It’s just free time. If you have this kind of energy, you will have already become a “technical expert” and a “production pacesetter.”
Zhang Li returned home and felt a little hungry, so she cooked a plate of dumplings and drank while eating.
Someone knocked on the door, and Zhang Li thought with the back of her head that it was Ren Qingyun.
Opening the door, Ren Qingyun stood outside.
"What are you doing here if you don't go home during the Chinese New Year?" Zhang Li asked.
Ren Qingyun said: "I don't trust you."
"What do I have to worry about? This is an adult. Okay, look at it, go back." Zhang Li said.
Ren Qingyun smiled and said, "I'll go in and sit for a while and then leave."
Zhang Li let Ren Qingyun into the room.
Seeing the dumplings and wine on the dinner table, Ren Qingyun asked: "You didn't eat well at my house?"
"Can you eat it?" Zhang Li didn't hide her opinion and said directly: "If you want to send me off, you should follow me downstairs when I come out of your house. You also listened to what your brother said,
That woman is me. I guess your brother told you too. That’s just right. I didn’t mean to hide it from you. Did you come here just to ask about this?”
Ren Qingyun's face looked very ugly. He was silent for a while and said, "Let me have a drink with you."
"No, I can just drink it myself." Zhang Li refused.
"Look at you - we have been together for several months, you know what I am like." Ren Qingyun said.
"I really don't know." Zhang Li said: "If you didn't care, you wouldn't have let me go downstairs alone. You are a sensible person. There are some things you don't want to say. It's the New Year. Go back and I'll have a good New Year too."
.”
"I'm here to accompany you today." Ren Qingyun said.
"No, no need." Zhang Li said with a cold face.
"It's okay to just make friends without being together."
"I have enough friends."
"you--"
"I don't lack friends, nor do I lack men."
"We are both the same person------"
Zhang Li immediately interrupted Ren Qingyun and said: "I respect you very much, and I hope you respect yourself."
Ren Qingyun left with some regret.
Zhang Li was eating dumplings, drinking wine, and celebrating the New Year alone.
"You, too, come to my house. It's just me and Lao Deng." After hearing what happened last night from Zhang Li, Yanhua complained.
"Who doesn't celebrate the Chinese New Year at home?" Zhang Li said.
"Hey -" Yanhua sighed slightly and said, "I'm in another place like this. To put it bluntly, I just want to sleep with you and have no plans to live with you."
"Want to sleep with me? Who else do I want to sleep with?" Zhang Li snorted, "I will never look for you again in this life. I will live alone."
"By the way, do you still remember what Lao Tan's mother said? Don't believe it, go and send him off too." Yanhua suddenly remembered that Lao Tan's mother said that Zhang Li was a temple boy.
"Do you really believe it?" Zhang Li asked, but she believed it in her heart.
"You can't disbelieve it, sincerity will lead to success. No one said that they got it, but some people said that they just felt as if something was wrong, and they always committed the crime. Besides, it doesn't take much effort. Just give it a try, and your doubts will be cleared up."
Yanhua said.
"I don't know how to give it to you?"
"We don't know if anyone knows. After the fifteenth day, when the Buddhist shop opens, go and ask. They will definitely know." Yanhua said.
Zhang Li whispered: "You go when the time comes, but I won't go for fear of being known."
Yanhua smiled and said, "I'll go."
After talking about this, Yanhua talked about the cooperative store that Lao Tan called in the morning. After hearing this, Zhang Li raised the same problem - lack of management personnel.
Yanhua believes that the dumpling market in the provincial capital is already saturated, and competition is fierce, with profit margins getting smaller and smaller. Last year, Xijiade officially entered the provincial capital and occupied the dumpling fast food segment. Aqiao has just started and has no strength to compete with others.
"Our advantage is dumpling wine. To be precise, it is a tavern where you can eat dumplings. Although it is fast food, we do not compete with them. My idea is to only open ten directly-operated stores in the provincial capital and focus our main efforts on
In the west, that is, Inner Mongolia. There are no dumpling restaurants expanding to the west yet. Let’s capture the market first.
Regarding management personnel, we first train them internally so that they are loyal and not easy to change jobs. In addition, we also recruit from outside, including good airborne troops."
Yanhua said in a general-like manner.
"The dumpling market in the provincial capital is indeed saturated, and our competitive advantage is getting smaller and smaller. I agree with your idea and develop to other places. First Hohhot, then Baotou, and then south." Zhang Li
explain.
"The provincial capital is our base. Although we concentrate our efforts in other places, we must first take care of our home. Let me tell you my thoughts. Within two years, we will have ten direct-operated stores in the provincial capital, and then we will stop and concentrate on opening these ten stores.
The store is turned into a model store.
The provincial capital is the political, economic and cultural center of Aqiao Dumpling House. Not only must it build a model store, but it must also establish a training center and a technology research and development center. All future managers will be trained and intern here, and then sent to other places, including technical personnel.
Those who want to cooperate should first visit the prototype store in the provincial capital and sign an agreement after the inspection. After the agreement is signed, the partner is only responsible for one thing - paying. We are responsible for the rest."
"The old store doesn't have enough space," Zhang Li said.
"The old store is only used for central kitchen and technical training. We moved the office out and rented a separate building to make it look like a company. If you come for inspection, the price will not be reduced," Yanhua said.
"It's a matter of face." Zhang Li said with a smile.
"There are factors in this regard, but not entirely. The old store mainly trains kitchen staff, and the new office building has a training center to train management to prevent successors from being incompetent." Yanhua said.
"You are becoming more and more like a boss now." Zhang Li said.
"It didn't look like it before?" Yanhua joked: "It used to be the same, but it was blocked by Lao Tan and you didn't notice it."
"You and Lao Tan are a perfect match." Zhang Li said sincerely.
Once a woman's situation is opened up, she will act more like a man than a man. This is unacceptable.
