Qin Xiao compared the appearance of the female high school student with the resume photo he received last night, and confirmed the identity of the person in front of him.
When he read Zhao Yuhan's resume yesterday, he couldn't help but crop out the photo and add it to his private gallery for repeated viewing. Today, he was very satisfied when he saw the real person.
In this era where you can turn against your best friend just because she forgot to remove her neck lines, there are very few girls who are so innocent and unpretentious, and don’t even take photos of themselves that they can take photos of casually. She is really a treasure in the world. .
When photography and post-production technology were not yet developed, people in real life were usually three or four times more cute than they were in photos. Nowadays, it's often the other way around.
Because of his magical power of "bringing mountains and rivers into painting", almost no one can pretend to be pretentious in front of Qin Xiao with edited photos.
Even the portrait photos altered by worldly master graphic designers are still full of obvious flaws in his eyes, as offensive as applying too thick makeup, which makes it difficult for him to enjoy the artificial beauty of those mass-produced products. .
Therefore, Qin Xiao is very disdainful of beautifying photos, but in order to survive better in this world that values faces and superficiality, he often has to retouch photos against his will, and his heart is filled with sadness and helplessness of being forced to join in the mischief.
Looking at the invincible Zhao Yuhan who was not wearing pink and green (chūn), Qin Xiao felt intoxicated.
Ah, as expected, it is this kind of hibiscus emerging from clear water, with its natural beauty without carvings that touches people’s hearts the most.
It's because girls like this still exist that I won't be swallowed up by the dirty real world.
The waitress at the Xiangbei branch has decided that it’s you!
He lowered his head and adjusted the light and shadow on his face to make his skin look shinier, the bridge of his nose look straighter, his facial contours look more handsome, and his eyes look deeper, then he walked up to Zhao Yuhan with a smile.
"Hello, are you Zhao Yuhan, the student who came for the interview today?
I am Qin Xiao, the store manager of Yingxuetang Xiangbei branch. "
"Hello, Manager Qin."
Zhao Yuhan greeted Qin Xiao openly, her eyes lingering for a moment on his soft-lit face that looked like an ancient Greek hero sculpture.
"I have a sister who will accompany me to the interview. She has been delayed a little bit due to work matters and may not arrive until later."
"Then you come in first and wait. It's only early eight o'clock now, and there is still nearly an hour before the time we agreed on. You can go to the bookstore first to get familiar with the environment."
"Okay, thank you, Manager Qin."
"Don't be so polite, just call me brother Qin Xiao..."
"Okay, thank you Uncle Qin."
Zhao Yuhan followed Qin Xiao, whose face dimmed, into the bookstore.
Because of a certain Li chief priest, Qin Xiao had packed up the coffee and snack area near the door of the bookstore yesterday, and separated it from other areas with several antique meticulous flower and bird screens, covering up two white ((whoring piáo )piáo) The (shēn) silhouette of the dogs and the noise of them chewing snacks also blocked their view to prevent them from interfering with the interview.
On the screen, several fluffy northern long-tailed tits were jumping around on the branches, like rolling snow dumplings. Zhao Yuhan couldn't help but follow these nimble little things for a long time.
"You sit here first, and I'll get you a cup of tea."
"Do not bother……"
Just as Zhao Yuhan was about to be polite, he saw the store manager uncle letting out a long, silent sigh filled with sadness and resentment.
"It's not troublesome. I have to make tea anyway. It's better for you than for those two...
Just sit down and feed the snacks on the table to the painted tits on the screen. If they like you, they will fly out from the screen to play with you.
Don't go to the third screen, there's a very skinny black langur there and it'll eat your food. "
…
When Yu Peihuan arrived at the bookstore, three chubby snow dumplings had fallen on Zhao Yuhan's head and shoulders. She spread her palms to let them peck at a pearl-like white nut. From time to time, the palms of her palms were tickled by the bird's beak, which made it a little itchy. You have to laugh but you are afraid that the store manager will hear you and appear not quiet enough, which will affect the subsequent interview.
"Yuhan, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
Yu Peihuan put a rather large briefcase on the table. There seemed to be something hard in the briefcase, and it made a dull sound when it hit the table.
She pulled up the high-backed chair and sat next to Zhao Yuhan. The three northern long-tailed tits raised their heads and glanced at her curiously. Each picked up a white nut, flapped its wings and flew back to the screen. The snow dumplings were hiding behind the screen. Behind a few leaves with thin veins outlined with light blue, they quietly peeked at the new guests.
Put artificial elves with rudimentary intelligence in ordinary decorations...
The division secretary said that this Yingxuetang bookstore has some relationship with the General Administration Lingke. Except for the General Administration Lingke, the local government cannot control it or control it.
Now it seems that this bookstore is not only hard-working, but also has a strong foundation.
Qin Xiao saw Yu Peihuan's face from a distance, and immediately changed his face to a light and shadow combination. Through fine-tuning, the lines on his face were slightly tougher. Compared with the previous outfit, he looked more mature and reliable. She looks a little older than Yu Peihuan, but not too much.
He quickly connected to the food area where bookmarks were stored, took out some thermostatically kept personal items and carefully mixed them together. He held a cup of Darjeeling black tea in his left hand, and the warm air was filled with the mellow aroma of muscatel grapes. This cup The orange-red beauty is wearing an elegant set of gold-plated bone china cups and saucers, with elegant grass-leaf patterns stretching quietly on her skirt.
The right hand with a large single ring on the index finger is holding a three-tier afternoon tea rack filled with snacks.
The first layer is a long and small triangular hand sandwich, half and half of the (milk nǎi) smoked salmon filling and mayonnaise and cress filling; the second layer is a grape scone with just the right heat. Next to it is a small saucer containing clotted cream (milk nǎi) oil and strawberry jam; the third layer is citrus vanilla macarons, cups of three-color chocolate mousse and raspberry fruit tarts, with several scattered between them. Light pink puffs.
Qin Xiao walked to the table of Yu Peihuan and Zhao Yuhan with his chin tucked in. He smiled gently and was about to prepare a magnetic baritone opening statement when he heard two strong wind-like breathing sounds coming from the library area. , two voices, one light and one heavy, one after another, with extremely fierce momentum.
"Old Liang, do you smell it?
Then who actually hid such a good summer harvest in Darjeeling, and ended up letting us drink mediocre Earl Gray black tea here. Wouldn’t his conscience hurt? "
"I don't know if his conscience hurts or not. I am heartbroken now that I have been treated differently... I will control him later and you can grab the things. You can drink the tea as you like. You can take the salty snacks from the first floor home." The wine, the scones on the second tier will be divided equally, and the dessert on the third tier will be mine.”
"I want half of the custard wine-flavored puffs on the third floor... By the way, don't you need to leave some for him?"
"Teacher Qin is a staff member of a bookstore. He actually brings out so many delicious things to have afternoon tea with others during working hours. It is simply against the morals.
Brother Xian, by working tirelessly to help him eat it, we are actually helping him maintain the good image of Yingxuetang Bookstore. He will definitely understand. "
"Well...you make a lot of sense!"
"Don't get up first, wait until he puts down the things in his hands before we start, so as not to spill the things and waste food."
"Understood, always ready."
"Ready at all the time."
The pair, who are in some ways particularly well suited to each other, are confident in speaking loudly and clearly, openly and unabashedly.
Qin Xiao squeezed the cups, saucers and three-tier shelf in his hands. If he hadn't been in front of Yu Peihuan and Zhao Yuhan, he would have spitted out the refreshments in front of him like a juicy dragon king to keep them away from the two uninvited guests. jaws of death.
It cannot collapse. I am the face of Ying Xuetang in the 415 world. I cannot collapse!
All this is Thunder Bluff's conspiracy!
My gentleman style must not be broken!
Qin Xiao tensed up his overwhelmed face and squeezed out a gentle and calm tenor from between his teeth:
"For the two guests in the library area, I have an interview here. After the interview, I will prepare another black tea and dessert for you two."
The sharp intake of breath in the library area stopped, but the high-decibel whispers continued.
"Old Liang, did you hear any strange noises just now?
Why are there still people making loud noises in the bookstore in broad daylight? It’s really unscrupulous! "
"It seems to be coming from the coffee area. As you know, Brother Xian, I came here today without even eating breakfast. I was so hungry that I felt dizzy and my ears didn't work very well. I couldn't hear what the sound was."
"Hey, I didn't expect that in the peaceful and prosperous world, there would be people studying hungry. Isn't this ridiculous?
We put down what we are doing and come here to support that person. That person still refuses to accept the favor, shouts and moves, and is not proactive at all. Why doesn't he know how to reciprocate kindness?
Lao Liang, when it comes to peaches, I think of the story of two peaches killing three people. You said, giving two people a piece of food, is this a conspiracy, is it an attempt to sow discord, and use desserts to destroy the unbreakable bond between us? friendship? "
"Brother Xian, what you said makes sense. This possibility is very high. It seems we should be careful."
Liang De, an outstanding graduate of the Lu Department of Education, nodded and continued:
"Speaking of peaches, I think of the Peach Club in Journey to the West. You said that if the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother took the initiative to invite the Monkey King to eat peaches and let him eat two more, how could there have been such a big fuss later? What about Heavenly Palace?
It’s really not worth the loss. We are all scholars and we must learn from history. "
You two are thinking of a fool over there!
I can't cure you anymore? !
"Two servings!"
Qin Xiao roared loudly, causing the beauty on his face to flash. After this roar, the library area finally became completely quiet.
He steadily put the black tea and the three-layer snack rack on the table, calmed down his emotions, and said to Yu Peihuan, who had an unchanged expression, and Zhao Yuhan, who was surprised:
"Let's start the interview."
Yu Peihuan smiled back and said:
"Store manager Qin, it seems that the job in your store is not as easy as you said in the recruitment information, especially in this working environment. Well... maybe we can discuss the hourly wage of my sister's part-time job."
…
In the library area, Liang De was sitting on a homemade blue office swivel chair with a pillow behind his back. He was holding a paperback version of "The Hair in Your Heart Has Fallen Out" and said to Li Zhixian:
"Having said so much here, why don't you go out and see your ex, Xiao Yu?"
Li Zhixian, who was sitting on the ground, covered his face with a book, stretched out a long leg and stepped on the central column under Liang De's swivel chair, and kicked him and the chair out a long way. The wind whistled in Mr. Liang's ears, like a Seed contestant in the office chair competition.
"My character is that of a beautiful girl who was born a single mother. Don't talk nonsense about your ex. It's familiar. If you talk nonsense, I will sue you for defamation."
Liang De slid back with his office chair and said:
“I mean former partners.
You were in the same period when you were in the Magical Girl Corps, and you were also instructors together. You were never separated until she transferred to civilian employment. "
Li Zhixian revealed an unhappy eye from the side of the book and said:
"You know quite a lot, Lao Liang."
Seeing that the red low-top canvas shoes on her feet were scraping against the floor again, Liang De quickly drove away from the swivel chair, separated a safe distance of one leg from Li Zhixian, cut off the electricity on his face and explained 81.51cm away:
"Brother Huang Chuanchao told me this. Hey, these middle-aged men like to gossip about little girls after they smoke and eat. They talk about all kinds of things all day long. They are very greasy. I also overheard it. , holding a cigarette in one hand at that time, it was too late to cover my ears.
In fact, as a taciturn and decent straight man, I strongly disagree with Brother Huang's behavior. I will definitely criticize him seriously next time I have the opportunity. "
Li Zhixian hid his eyes behind the book, facing Yu Peihuan's direction through the books, bookshelf and screen.
"Just make trouble with her, I don't want to see her."
"You bully someone you like. This is a bit like the behavior of an elementary school boy who doesn't deserve recognition at all."
Before Liang De finished speaking, he was kicked onto the swivel chair by a flying red canvas shoe. The man and the swivel chair spun in place like a spinning top.
Li Zhixian closed his eyes and buried his face in the book.
When Yu Peihuan was outside the store, she smelled the half-finished bottle of Golden Happy Tequila.
What else do you want to do now?
…
After the interview, Zhao Yuhan visited the bookstore under the guidance of Qin Xiao and met two "important guests" who were resident in the book area.
Because one of the guests was cosplaying Beyblade on the spot, and the other one had his face covered with a book, so she actually couldn't really say hello to them.
Qin Xiao confessed in a low voice: "I usually don't pay attention to them, especially that man. It's absolutely impossible for him to buy books in our store. Just treat him as if he doesn't exist."
"Okay, Uncle Qin."
"You should call me the store manager..."
After teaching Zhao Yuhan how to use the cashier system, Qin Xiao couldn't wait to leave the Xiangbei branch and embarked on a journey across various realms to sell books.
Various facilities in Ying Xuetang Bookstore have intelligent guidance. The painting spirits in the decoration alone can complete most of the operation work. He can understand the situation in the store at any time through cross-border communication. Miss Zhao is very personable. If you are smart and have a good personality, nothing will happen to you.
Zhao Yuhan stood behind the checkout counter wearing a bookstore uniform and a clerk's apron, looking in the direction of the book area from time to time.
There were only three of them left in the store, and a strange silence filled the air.
Near noon, the sound of wind chimes suddenly came from the door of the store.
A customer is coming.
