At noon, there are not many customers in the store. Those who come here to spend money usually come to eat, but to rest, eat something, or drink afternoon tea.
Of course, there are also takeaways to take home.
This kind of tea shop usually provides tea drinks, mainly Western-style black tea, lemonade, etc., and of course coffee is indispensable.
There are Chinese snacks, pastries, Western breads, cakes, etc. There are not many types, but the taste is still good.
Generally, once you become famous, the boss will naturally not bother to study other things.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?" A Russian woman who looked to be in her thirties came up and asked.
"Bring me a cup of coffee!" Zhou Sen sat down near the door, facing the door, so that Jiang Rou could see him as soon as she walked in.
"Okay, what else do you need?"
"Are there any snowflake cakes and mung bean cakes?" Zhou Sen raised his head and asked.
"Yes, sir, have you made an appointment?"
"You have really good eyesight. Please give me two of each." Zhou Sen smiled slightly and nodded.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
A cup of hot coffee was delivered quickly. I don't know if I have to tell you that this kind of coffee is added with milk, and it tastes good.
Of course, it is far inferior to the coffee at places like Madiel Hotel, as the coffee beans are not of the same quality.
Zhou Sen took a sip of coffee while recalling the two years he spent with Jiang Rou.
There is no sugar in the coffee, and the bitter taste is more likely to awaken people's inner memories and longing for sweetness.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Zhou Sen calculated that it would take at least ten minutes to get from the new stage to Zhengyang Toudao Street, excluding the time spent reading letters and thinking about changing clothes. Considering that women change clothes at least three times longer than men, half an hour is enough. .
Zhou Sen planned to wait here for an hour. If the person didn't come, he basically wouldn't come, and he would have to think of a solution later.
"Sir, do you need a refill?"
"No need." Zhou Sen waved his hand and said.
The door was opened, and a slender figure walked in. Zhou Sen, who was sitting at the door, raised his head slightly.
Looking into each other's eyes.
They all recognized each other.
Zhou Sen stood up and shouted: "Little slug."
Jiang Rou's eyes were red with excitement, tears welling up in her eyes: "Brother Xiaomori..."
"sit."
Jiang Rou held back her tears and sat down in front of Zhou Sen. Zhou Sen asked, "Well, what would you like to drink?"
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"Brother Xiaomori, please call me Xiaorou." Jiang Ju said, "I remember there is rose tea here, but I don't know if there is any more."
"Yes, Miss." the Russian waiter replied.
"It's been almost fifteen years. I never thought we would see each other again." Zhou Sen sighed with emotion. "When I saw the missing person notice outside the new stage, I couldn't believe my eyes."
"Brother Komori, have you ever been to the new stage?"
"Well, if you haven't been here before, how do you know you are looking for me?" Zhou Sen nodded. Since he took the initiative to meet me, there was no need to hide anything.
"Then why doesn't Brother Komori come to me directly?"
"With your current identity, if I go to find you directly, I'm afraid I'll be kicked out before I even see you." Zhou Sen chuckled.
"Are you still angry with your godfather?" Jiang Rou explained hurriedly, "Since you ran away, our treatment has been much better. I was also adopted as an adopted daughter by class leader Sun Qingkui. He has treated me fairly well over the years. good."
"Haha, after so many years, I'm no longer angry." Zhou Sen smiled, and at this time the waiter brought rose tea.
A stone fell in Jiang Rou's heart. What she feared most was that Zhou Sen would still remember Sun Qingkui's whipping and humiliation to him. In that case, not only would she be stuck between the two of them, it would be even harder to do her job.
How could I not be happy now that I heard Zhou Sen say from his own mouth that he doesn't remember what happened back then?
"Although I no longer hold grudges about what happened back then, you don't want me to have any good feelings toward him in the future," Zhou Sen said.
Jiang Rou also knew that it would be good if Zhou Sen could let go of this grudge. It was too unrealistic to expect him to treat Sun Qingkui the same way as she did.
"Xiaosen, brother, how have you been these past years?"
"I'm not bad. After I was separated from you, I begged along the road. Later I returned to Bingcheng and was adopted by a wealthy Belarusian businessman. I am his only adopted son. I currently have a job at the Nangang Police Station of the Bingcheng Police Department. Errand." Zhou Sen said in a short sentence.
"Brother Xiaomori is a policeman?" Jiang Rou was surprised.
"It's arranged by the family. I can't help myself." Zhou Sen explained with a sneer.
"Then I have a backer in Bingcheng?" Jiang Rou smiled happily, her eyebrows curved into a crescent shape.
"I'm just a little policeman. I can't be your backer, but if you run into any trouble, I can help a little." Zhou Sen chuckled.
"Brother Xiaomori, where do you live? Can I visit you in the future?" Jiang Rou asked.
"this……"
"If Brother Xiaomori is in trouble, forget it."
"It's not impossible, it's just that I'm not at home often. If you go, it won't be good to be turned away." Zhou Sen said, "I opened a company on Haicheng Street called 'Sen' Ji. If you have anything to do, you can go there." , I usually go there when I go to work."
"You are not a policeman, how can you open a company?" Jiang Rou asked in surprise.
"I am a more casual police officer. I don't need to wear a police uniform or go to the police station to work." Zhou Sen could only explain it this way. There were some things that Jiang Rou knew would not be good.
"Okay, but on my side..." Jiang Rou was a little embarrassed. After all, she didn't want to tell Sun Qingkui about finding Zhou Sen, otherwise, he would definitely stop her.
"Xiaorou, your missing person notice has too much influence, so you should withdraw it." Zhou Sen said, "For the outside world, just say that you have received the exact information that the person has been found and that he died more than ten years ago."
"Brother Xiaomori, this..." Jiang Rou's eyes widened in surprise.
"I have a special status now. If you look for someone in such a big way, it would not be a good thing for me."
"Brother Xiaomori, are you not going to recognize me?"
"If I don't recognize you, why would I come to you?"
"Then what is your relationship with President Su Wenqingsu? Why did you use his name to send someone a letter to me, but I almost lost it?" Jiang Rou asked.
"I have a little feud with him. He has status and identity in Bingcheng. I borrowed his name. People in New Stage dare not withhold the letter to you. I also made sure that this letter can reach you. in my hands." Zhou Sen explained.
"So that's it. From now on, if you come to see me, will you still use the name of President Su?" Jiang Rou asked.
"This can only be used once. If it is used too many times, others will see through it, and it will definitely not be used next time. However, there will be other methods by then." Zhou Sen explained with a smile.
"Okay, then Brother Xiaomori, can I visit you when I'm not on stage?" Jiang Rou nodded thoughtfully.
"Okay, but you'd better call me in advance so that I can make time." Zhou Sen said.
"Um."
"Try your favorite snowflake cake. It still doesn't taste the same as before." Zhou Sen pointed to the snowflake cake on the table and said.
Jiang Rou reached out and took a piece, put it into her mouth, took a bite, and smiled: "Brother Xiaomori, this snowflake cake is so sweet and delicious. It tastes exactly like in memory."
"If it's delicious, I'll eat it all. Back then, we were chased for two streets by the shop owner just for this bite of snowflake cake..." Zhou Sen said in a low voice.
"There's a plate here. I can't eat it by myself?"
"This is only a few yuan, enough to eat."
"Brother Xiaomori, I sneaked out. I have to go back. I have to perform on stage in the afternoon." Jiang Rou said after eating two pieces of snowflake cake.
"Then be careful when you go back. Remember to remove the missing person notice when you go back." Zhou Sen nodded, he could understand Jiang Rou.
"Brother Xiaomori, the news I have been looking for for these years has never been found. I feel like there is no hope in my heart. If I come back this time and I can't find it again, I really..." Said, Jiang Rouzhen Tears welled up in my eyes.
Zhou Sen was also a little moved. He reached out and hugged Jiang Rou. He patted her on the back gently and comforted her: "Okay, I found it. Don't cry. I'm blinded by crying. The performance in the afternoon." What should you do? If you are bullied in the future, come to me and I will stand up for you."
Thinking of the performance in the afternoon, Jiang Rou quickly stopped her tears. She couldn't lose her temper, otherwise it would affect the performance.
"Brother Xiaomori, I'm leaving. I'll see you when I have time."
"Um!"
After seeing Jiang Rou off, Zhou Sen couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, then he paid the bill and left.
…
"You lost track of me, were you discovered by him?"
"Sir, I'm not sure, but the question now is to determine where he went..."
"You come back first."
"yes."
…
"You are being followed. Who is the person following you?" Zhou Sen reported to Akiyama Nosuke on the second floor of Nangang Police Station.
"I don't know, I just had a feeling. This feeling disappeared after I thought of a way to escape from the cicada's shell in that carpentry street." Zhou Sen didn't dare to say more.
"Then where did you go after that?"
"I went outside the road and made a circle to see if anyone was following me. Then I came back to report the situation to you." Zhou Sen explained.
"Don't run around for the past two days." Akiyama Nosuke thought he had gone to the Ningxiang Pavilion, so he didn't ask any questions, so he explained, "I just happened to have something to do with you. Over there at the photo studio, Yuan Wenfu is good at We are investigating him, but the surveillance team cannot be left without someone in charge. I want you to temporarily take over his job, what do you think?"
"Thank you Mr. Akiyama for your trust, but in what capacity should I go?" Zhou Sen said in his heart after hearing this. Sure enough, this is a trap.
"Well, in what capacity did you and Secretary Jin go to the photo studio?"
"The humble role is her father."
Akiyama Nosuke was slightly surprised. The script arranged by Jin Suying didn't seem to be like this. Zhou Sen should have changed it himself.
"How about you spend the money to buy this photo studio?"
Zhou Sen was stunned. This wasn't just a trap, it was going to tie him up completely. Akiyama Nosuke made it clear that he didn't want to let him go.
Especially since there is such a big secret underground in the photo studio, can he handle it?
