"Sneeze!" Du Yongxiao sneezed.
He had been diagnosed with a cold last night, so he grabbed some amoxicillin, ibuprofen, etc. from the pharmacy and ate a pack after eating. However, he stayed up late last night writing a report, which made the cold not only not cured but also aggravated.
Mom, dad, and the younger brother have already gone to work separately.
My younger sister also goes to school.
There is a bowl of steaming ginger syrup by the window, which my mother made for Du Yongxiao.
Li Cuilian has never believed in Western medicine. No matter what illness her family members have, she likes to use earth-based treatments.
The bowl of ginger syrup was almost cold when it was placed by the window, so Du Yongxiao picked it up and drank it.
Dong dong dong,
There was a knock on the door.
She Zaiming poked his head in with a wretched look, saw Du Yongxiao drinking ginger syrup, and said, "Brother Xiao, please tell me how to handle the matter."
Du Yongxiao drank the sugar water in one breath, and then called to She Zaiming: "You said----"
Snake Ming hurriedly squeezed into the room and stepped forward with a flattering smile: "You guessed it right, that guy named Johnny really went to the British to cooperate. The British opened a coffee shop in Tsim Sha Tsui. They met there today..."
Next, She Zaiming told Du Yongxiao everything he had learned.
It has to be said that Snake Ming's nickname is correct. He is born to be an inquirer. According to his words, he has many connections and wide channels. Not to mention Kowloon, there is no news that he can't find out in the whole of Hong Kong.
"That's the specific thing. These were all found out by my best friend Mouse, and I spent ten yuan on it!" She Zaiming rubbed his hands and looked at Du Yongxiao with a smile, "But it doesn't matter if I can help Brother Xiao. Come on!"
Du Yongxiao didn't understand what She Zaiming meant. He walked to the clothes rack with a smile, took out his wallet from his coat, opened it, took out fifty Hong Kong dollars and handed it to She Zaiming: "Thank you, this can be used as travel expenses!"
"It's not hard, it's not hard! I should be able to help you!" Snake Zai took the money cheerfully, "To be honest, if I help you now, am I considered an informant?"
"Of course!" Du Yongxiao patted She Zaiming on the shoulder, "Do things well for me and I won't treat you badly in the future."
"I believe you, everyone is a good neighbor!"
Snake Zaiming took the money, talked to Du Yongxiao for a few more words, turned around and was about to leave, but Du Yongxiao stopped him again, "What were you talking about just now, where will the ghost Johnny meet the British?"
"Today at noon, at the Blue Moon Cafe."
Du Yongxiao smiled, which made Shezai Ming's heart tremble.
"Brother Ming, do you like drinking coffee?"
Before She Zaiming could answer, Du Yongxiao took out another three hundred Hong Kong dollars from his wallet and stuffed it into She Zaiming's hand, "I'll treat you to a drink!"
…
Tsim Sha Tsui, Victoria.
Victoria in this era had not yet developed into the "city that never sleeps" in the future. As a favorite place for tourists and local foreigners to hang out, it had already gathered many bars, cafes, and Western clubs, along with the retro-style Kowloon Boat Boat and Typhoon Shelter. Than, the customer group is more obvious, that is, Gui Lao.
Johnny made an appointment with James, an Englishman, to meet at the Blue Moon Bar in Tsim Sha Tsui today.
This bar is opened by Mr. James. Johnny and James have reached a consensus on the phone. If this conversation goes well, then James can join McDonald's and become the owner of the flagship store.
This is also the result after Johnny's screening.
First, James is a noble white man.
Secondly, James is strong and experienced.
Finally, Johnny and James are also considered personal friends in private. Although one is American and the other is British, they both graduated from the University of Edinburgh.
In contrast, Du Yongxiao, who once offered to join the flagship store, was screened aside by Johnny.
Regardless of his status, strength or experience, in Johnny's eyes, Du Yongxiao was nothing.
Entering the coffee shop, Johnny's eyes immediately lit up due to the western-style decoration. He felt that he had found the right person. James' ability should not be underestimated to be able to run such a large store.
Next, the two found a seat and started discussing the franchise.
James is also very interested in running McDonald's. According to him, no one thinks that doing business is too profitable. As long as he can pass the review, he will officially join the McDonald's flagship store.
The two were talking animatedly.
Near noon, many ghost guys also come here to drink coffee and have lunch.
Everything is developing for the better.
We talked for another ten minutes.
Johnny was very satisfied with James as a partner, so he took out the signing contract.
Both parties check the contract content.
James took out his pen and prepared to sign.
With one move, he will be the owner of McDonald's flagship store in Hong Kong in the future.
"I hope we can have a happy cooperation!" Johnny said.
"Of course, I will make the flagship store as good as this coffee shop!" James said proudly, "Believe me, friend, I can cover anything, and everything will get better and better!"
suddenly--
There was a commotion at the door.
A dozen people took a rickshaw to the cafe.
Looking again, this group of people turned out to be all Chinese, and they were all dressed in ragged clothes.
This group of poor people who usually don't even dare to stay at the door, today are pouring in from outside.
"Drink coffee!"
"Eat steak!"
She Zaiming took the lead to enter, found a seat, put his feet on the chair and sat down.
Others also found seats to sit down.
"Oh God, where did these people come from?"
"It stinks so much. How long has it been since they took a shower?"
The ghost guys who were dining around them all exclaimed.
Snake Ming didn't care about that much. He held his nose while picking up the menu and pretending to order: "Coffee, one cup for each person first! The rest will be ordered later!"
The foreign waiter didn't know what to do.
Some Gui Lao customers can no longer stand it.
Not far away, a big man took off his shoes and dug at his feet, and the dead skin fell off.
Another big man rubbed his armpits vigorously, and black dust came out.
Feet smell,
body odor,
spread.
"Ah!" A grandmother kept coughing, and finally beat her chest and spit out a mouthful of yellow and thick old phlegm on the ground.
She came here by rickshaw and drank coffee for the first time in her life, and it was free.
"Oh, God! I can't take it anymore! Waiter, pay the bill!"
Those ghost guys who thought they were superior to others fled one after another.
James was stunned.
Johnny was also stunned, turned his face and asked James: "What's going on?"
How does James know?
His coffee shop has been open for almost two years, and business has always been very good, with few people making trouble. Because he is a ghost, even if he pays the fee, he pays very little, but now---
"Didn't you say you can cover it? Now---" Johnny questioned.
James stood up immediately: "Call the police! Call the police immediately! I want to drive all these nasty people out!"
At this time——
A lazy voice sounded from outside: "Excuse me, please call the police?"
