Chapter 15 Luo Ning’s shop rules, insect plague is coming!
That day, the rain in Qinggang City was more intense than yesterday. On the streets, pedestrians held umbrellas and walked hurriedly, regardless of the mud and water on the ground, as if they were trying to avoid not only the rain, but also the dangers lurking in the shadows.
Gao Chen took the bus to the commercial street, walked through the alleys lined with dilapidated houses, and opened the greasy wooden door of Luo's Restaurant.
The store was empty. Luo Ning was sitting at the front desk, peeling potatoes. When the back door was pushed open, she looked up and said, "Are you here so early?"
The clock on the wall read exactly 7:00.
"The boss is here, can I still sleep at home?"
Gao Chen looked around and saw no other employees, so he asked: "Boss, are there only two people in our store?"
"It's just the two of us for the time being. I've also hired a cashier who won't come until tomorrow."
Luo Ning threw the peeled potatoes into the basket, dusted off the dust on her hands, and said, "You sit down for a while. When the rain stops, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the work."
Gao Chen felt that the job of a food delivery boy was nothing familiar, but he still nodded and asked casually: "Is that cashier the one I saw when I walked in yesterday?"
Luo Ning suddenly stopped what she was doing and turned to look at him.
Those eyes as cold as a deep pool showed no emotion. He was silent for a moment and then said: "I forgot, did anyone go out from the back door when you came in?"
"Um..." Gao Chen pretended to be stupid and said, "I was just asking casually."
Then he walked to the seat by the window, pulled out the chair and sat down.
Luo Ning continued to be busy and began to use a broom to clean up the potato peelings on the floor.
The hem of a white skirt swayed with her movements, and her long hair was gently draped over her shoulders. Corresponding to the white skirt was her elegant and refined profile.
Gao Chen's eyes swept over quietly.
Yesterday, Dai Ming publicly declared at a press conference that he would be arrested and brought to justice. However, he appeared in this place again on the same day.
He couldn't help but fell into deep thought. What was the connection between this seemingly ordinary female boss and Dai Ming?
Although the entire foundation is now investigating his traces, as long as they can't find clues, it means that he still has the initiative.
It would definitely be a good thing for him if he could find a breakthrough from Luo Ning and get some information about the foundation.
After Luo Ning cleaned up, Gao Chen asked: "By the way, boss. Don't you want a helper here?"
He asked, wondering if he could introduce Fatty Wang over.
In case the fat man knows that he knows how to find a job but doesn't help him, he will come out and say that he is unloyal.
In addition, if Fatty Wang can work here, he can have a pair of eyes to help him keep an eye on every move here when he is not in the store.
"No move."
Luo Ning said coldly: "I'm not used to outsiders entering my kitchen."
At this point, she looked up at Gao Chen, and said seriously with a beautiful and cold face: "I forgot to tell you, you are not allowed to enter the kitchen. This is the store rule, and I also wrote it into the contract yesterday. If you If you violate this rule, you will just pay your salary and leave.”
After saying that, she picked up the basket with one hand, easily carried dozens of kilograms of potatoes, and walked to the kitchen.
How could Gao Chen remember this? When he was reading the contract, he just checked the salary and benefits...
About ten minutes later, Gao Chen reached out of the window and felt that the rain had weakened. He looked up into the deep sky and saw the rolling dark clouds giving him an ominous premonition.
At this time, there was a sudden movement at the stairway door.
Luo Ning didn't know when she went upstairs and changed her clothes. The white skirt was replaced by an industrial-style outfit. The fresh and refined iceberg beauty looked even colder at this moment.
A simple round-neck short-sleeved shirt complements a long windbreaker. Light-colored narrow-leg jeans tightly wrap the two slender legs, showing a well-proportioned and rounded line. The trouser legs are cleverly hidden in Martin boots, adding a sense of style. Somewhat fashionable.
He walked out with a helmet in his hand and threw it casually.
Gao Chen caught the helmet.
It feels very light in the hand, and it is a full-face helmet design. It is completely black, and even the lenses are ink-colored.
Luo Ning said: "The rain has gradually stopped. Now I will take you to familiarize yourself with the nearby road conditions."
It turns out that this is what the so-called familiarity with the work process means.
Beique Street is located in the old part of the city. Due to poor urban planning in the early days, many houses were closely adjacent to each other. There are many small alleys like this near the restaurant, criss-crossing them, and if you are not familiar with them, you are likely to go the wrong way.
Although Gao Chen grew up here, after decades, his memory of many roads has been blurred.
Not to mention, the restaurant is not on Beiqiao Street, and the street housing planning here is several times worse than that of Beiqiao!
Today's mobile phones do not have navigation like those of later generations, and even social media still uses text messages.
"Try it on and see if it fits."
Gao Chen held the helmet in his arms. After hearing Luo Ning's words, he tried to put the helmet on and found that it unexpectedly fit the shape of his head.
"fine."
Through his sunglasses, Gao Chen looked at Luo Ning in front of him.
Luo Ning seemed to be aware of his gaze. She glanced at the eyes in the helmet lightly, turned around and said, "Let's go, the car is at the back door."
Coming out is an open space surrounded by buildings, and the connecting alleys lead directly to the commercial street.
Luo Ning took out a bunch of keys, and the collision of broken metal echoed in the air.
She selected one from a large set of keys, opened the iron door of the next building, and pushed out two motorcycles.
Gao Chen looked at all this and felt a little shocked. He looked around at several old houses. Could it be that all these buildings belong to her...
"You ride that one."
Luo Ning pointed to one of the red motorcycles. The model was relatively common. It was the 125, the most popular one on the market today. It was suitable for walking around streets and alleys, and it was passable enough.
Luo Ning walked towards another one, a retro cruiser motorcycle with a low chassis. The price was unclear, but judging from the appearance alone, it should not be cheap. The engine was also stamped with the stamp of a major foreign manufacturer.
Rumble——
The sound of motorcycle engines resounded between the buildings, and two motorcycles drove along the alley to the main road.
"Follow me, but not too closely."
Apparently she felt that Gao Chen's driving skills were not good, so Luo Ning rode very slowly, fearing that the other party would not be able to keep up with her speed.
The two of them drove on the main road for a while, and then turned into a side alley. During the process, they passed through many alleys that were as intricate as a few. In order to make Gao Chen remember, Luo Ning would also explain to him with a pen and paper. Record the alleys he passed, worried that he would not be able to remember such a complicated route.
"Most of the restaurant's customers are residents of Guigang Avenue and Beiqiao Street. Sometimes some offices on Nanshan Road also make reservations, but only a few times a month-"
The speed of the car slowed down a lot at the back. After returning to the main road, Luo Ning and Gao Chen drove side by side and said: "Before the store was not opened, I was delivering food alone. I just took you through the route. They are all my former regular customers, and generally they are the only ones who order food every day, so you just need to remember these routes."
"Okay, I understand..."
He said he understood, but Gao Chen was complaining in his heart.
These old houses from the last century were like bushes, growing wildly everywhere and being built densely. It would be nice if he could find his own way out of the alleys he walked through.
Sometimes, Gao Chen really misses the navigation APP of later generations...
"Okay, I'm almost done taking you away."
Luo Ning pulled over, looked at her watch, and said, "It's past nine o'clock. It's lunch ordering time. We have to get back quickly."
Gao Chen didn't speak. At this time, his mind was filled with the alleys he had just walked through, and he suddenly regretted why he came to the old city to work as a food delivery boy.
Boom! ! !
This is not the sound of a motorcycle engine.
Gao Chen quickly raised his head and looked at the sky not far away.
A feeling of hair standing on end quickly climbed up from his tailbone and reached the depths of his mind, as if conveying some kind of message to him.
There's an insect plague over there!
Gao Chen's pupils dilated, and his eyes were filled with billowing smoke.
The smoke came from the house over there, suddenly rose from the ground, and was eventually swallowed up by dark clouds.
Isn't that direction toward Beiqiao Street?
Gao Chen was a little excited. This was the first time he had encountered an insect infestation since the week's incident.
You must not give up this great opportunity!
Just when he turned around and wanted to find an excuse to escape with Luo Ning, he heard the sound of an engine next to him.
Then there was a very fast figure, riding a motorcycle and turning into the small alley next to it.
Looking at the motorcycle that had disappeared into the alley, Gao Chen murmured to himself: "I almost forgot, this woman is not an ordinary person."
The smoke in the sky over there was getting thicker and thicker. Gao Chen also started his motorcycle and rushed along the main road in the direction of Beiqiao.
