The day after the entrance ceremony, the national college entrance examination also ended. Su Ran slept until noon before opening the store door. The group of children who had finished the college entrance examination seemed to have expected it and did not arrive at the store until after two o'clock in the afternoon. inside.
"Why are you here after the exam, drinking coffee?" Su Ran looked at the children and said helplessly: "You are increasing my workload."
A boy immediately answered: "Sister Ranran, your business is not doing well when we take care of you. Look at who else comes to the store to buy coffee during this period besides us. The business in your store is extremely bad. "
"After the exam, go and have fun. It doesn't matter what it has to do with you." Su Ran rolled his eyes.
"The store cannot close down, sister Xing Ranran, otherwise some people will have no place to review when they review their studies next year."
After finishing speaking, everyone burst into laughter, venting their happiness after the college entrance examination.
Su Ran shook her head, "Just go ahead and play, you're just going to torment me. Come on, sister, I'll make coffee for you myself."
"I don't know if Sister Ranran's craftsmanship has improved compared to the previous two days." Someone started to murmur in a low voice.
Su Ran's eyes widened, "What's the matter? I personally made coffee for you and even picked it up."
"Help, Sister Ranran is mad."
Seeing Su Ran cross her arms, the students quickly dispersed with laughter, fearing that Su Ran would add mustard or chili pepper to their coffee to tease them later.
Su Ran snorted coldly, thinking that it would be up to me personally to deal with this group of brats.
Just when Su Ran was about to make coffee for these little kids, she suddenly found that after the group of high school students dispersed, there was still a girl with short shoulder-length hair standing in front of the bar, hesitating to speak. Look at yourself.
Su Ran had some impressions of this little girl. She seemed to be different from the children in Jiangning Foreign Language. She had always been alone. She was the earliest to come and the last to leave. She only had a discounted vanilla latte to sit in the store every day. At the corner of the street, she spent most of her time staring at the street outside in a daze. Su Ran rarely saw her studying.
"What's the matter with you?" Su Ran asked curiously.
The girl hesitated for a while and asked in a low voice: "Sister Ranran, can I work in your store during the summer?"
Su Ran was stunned, looked at the girl up and down, and asked curiously: "Can you make coffee?"
The girl nodded quickly, "My parents ran coffee shops when I was young, and I learned a lot from them."
Su Ran thought for a moment and moved away, "Then you come and try. Make a cup first and let me have a taste."
"Okay, sister Ranran."
The girl said and walked behind the bar, washed her hands and started making coffee.
Su Ran looked at the girl's skillful movements and was a little surprised and said: "Oh, you are quite skillful. You have done this a lot before, right?"
"When I was young, my family's shop was very busy, and my parents couldn't handle it, so they taught me how to make coffee. They would ask me to help them when they had nothing to do. As time went by, I became familiar with it," the girl explained. road.
Su Ran nodded and asked casually: "How did you do in the college entrance examination?"
"It should be pretty good."
"You're quite confident." Su Ran said a little surprised: "Why do I rarely see you studying, and most of the time you are in a daze."
"I am a liberal arts student, and there is only one month left before the college entrance examination. The effect of sharpening my skills before battle is not too great. What is more important is to adjust my mood. I quite like the atmosphere in the store. I sit in the store and look at the streets outside. When people come and go, you will feel more relaxed." The girl put the prepared coffee in front of Su Ran, "Sister Ranran, have a taste."
Su Ran took the coffee, took a sip, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Although I saw the girl's movements so skillfully, I also thought that her coffee would taste much better than mine, but I didn't expect that with the same tools and coffee beans, the coffee she brewed would taste so good, even better than mine. The hand-brewed coffee in some private coffee shops I have visited tastes better.
Su Ran sighed silently in her heart. It seemed that she really didn't have the talent to make coffee.
"May I have your name?"
"Xu Zhi'an."
"Okay, if you work during the summer vacation, you'll be working until school starts, right?"
After Xu Zhi'an hesitated for a moment, he whispered: "If it's possible, is it okay to continue doing it after school starts?"
Su Ran was stunned. "You won't pass the exam then."
"I'm preparing to take the Jiangnan University exam."
"I didn't see that you have ideals and are so sure?" Su Ran asked curiously.
Xu Zhi'an nodded, "After I finished the exam, I estimated the scores. They should be about the same."
Su Ran thought to herself, no wonder he didn't study usually, he turned out to be a good young man with a good brain.
"In that case, let's start from today, shall we? The probation period is three months, and the salary during the probation period is 8,000, and if you become a regular employee, it will be 10,000."
"Ah, okay, thank you Sister Ranran, I... ah? Eight thousand?" Xu Zhi'an suddenly reacted mid-sentence and looked at Su Ran with wide eyes, "Sister Ranran, are you kidding?"
Su Ran shrugged, "Are you kidding? I dare say the salary in our store is the highest among coffee shops in Jiangning City. When Sister Yihan was here before, she was 20,000 a month. Her previous clerk, a It’s still twenty-five thousand a month.”
Xu Zhian looked at the customers sitting in the lobby. Today was the same as usual. Except for their group of senior high school students, there were only three other customers in the store.
"Sister Ranran, the business in our store..."
"Business is not important. Do you still remember the boss you met?" Su Ran took a step closer and whispered.
Xu Zhi'an nodded, "Remember, the boss's surname is Zhang, and he is very handsome. I have never seen such a good-looking man in the past eighteen years."
"Okay, you all know that you have to praise the boss. It's only a matter of time before your salary increases." Su Ran put on a mysterious expression, "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else."
Seeing Su Ran's solemn expression, Xu Zhi'an became a little nervous and hurried to Su Ran's side.
"As you can see, the rent on this street is not cheap, and there are not many customers in the store every day. This will definitely be a loss. However, our boss is the illegitimate son of the richest man in Jiangbei, and his biological father does not want him to go back and participate in the distribution of the family property. , gave him a sum of money and asked him to start a small business of his own.
But our boss couldn't feel the love from his father, so he was discouraged and didn't want to start a business. He just opened a coffee shop and lived in confusion every day. Anyway, the money his biological father left him was enough. It took him a lifetime. "
Su Ran's words made Xu Zhian stunned for a moment. After he finished speaking, Xu Zhian was still stunned for a long time, unable to react.
How does this look like the plot of some online novels I read online? The male protagonist is the illegitimate son of the richest man. He didn’t want to participate in the fight for the family property, but in the end he had no choice but to be involved. After some overt and covert fighting, he defeated several other legitimate His older brothers and sisters inherited the family business.
Seeing that Xu Zhi'an was a little unconvinced, Su Ran added more jealously: "Look at that person. The boss's keep-away-from- strangers attitude every time he comes into the store, and that cold expression, are they similar to those in idol dramas? Do they look like the heirs of Qian’s big family?”
Xu Zhi'an tilted his head and thought about it, "It seems that's really what happened."
Seeing that her nonsense was effective, Su Ran was satisfied and continued in a low voice: "You will be a part of our store soon, so I will tell you this secret, but you must not tell it outside, our boss But he doesn’t want others to know his identity, otherwise his brothers and sisters will come to assassinate him.”
Xu Zhian was stunned, "Isn't this the 21st century? Why are there assassinations and so on? We can call the police."
"You don't understand this. Rich people can cover the sky with just one hand. Killing one or two people is nothing." Su Ran also raised a negative example, "Some time ago, the man in our city was named Chen Hao. Yes, remember? Look, he has been domineering in Jiangning City for so many years. He has connections with the city government and the provincial party committee. If things hadn't gotten too big in the end and God punished him, he would still be at ease now. .
The boss's father was the richest man in Jiangbei, and his power and connections were much stronger than Chen Hao's. No one would know when he killed the boss quietly. "
Xu Zhi'an swallowed and immediately expressed his loyalty: "Don't worry, Sister Ranran, I didn't hear anything. No one else will know about this."
Seeing the little girl's serious expression, Su Ran couldn't help but want to laugh.
But now that I’ve said it all, I have to continue writing it no matter what.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry too much. Now our boss is in a state of being discouraged and unwilling to make progress. When an opportunity comes one day, the boss will suddenly think about it, just like those novels The plot is the same, just go back to the family and get back everything that belongs to you. As people who followed the boss in the early days of starting a business, we will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future."
"Sister Ranran, I have no idea about glory and wealth. I just want to make some money to take some of the pressure off my family."
Although Su Ran was very happy when talking about her grand plan, Xu Zhian still felt that it was a bit far away from him.
Su Ran waved her hand, "That's not important. For such a small thing as making money, there will be a lot of money for you in the future. You can earn over 10,000 yuan a month just by working hard in our store.
Once the probation period is over, I will mention it to the boss and give you another salary increase. "
"Thank you, Sister Ranran." Xu Zhian looked at Su Ran and asked tentatively: "Sister Ranran, is this why you like your boss?"
Su Ran spit out the coffee he just took in his mouth, eyes widened, "What are you talking about? Who likes him?"
"Everyone can see this..." Xu Zhian hesitated: "They are guessing every day whether you have caught up with the boss."
"A bunch of brats, they don't study every day and do these boring things! They deserve to be in the third year of high school next year." Su Ran gritted his teeth and said: "My beauty, I still need to chase others? Those who chase me can go around Jiangbei Just go around twice, Zhang Ziqing is trying his best to chase me every day."
"Yeah, yeah, sister Ranran, I believe you, you are also the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." Xu Zhi'an nodded repeatedly.
The more Su Ran thought about it, the angrier she became, "You do it first, I have to go find these brats to reason."
After saying that, Su Ran angrily walked to where the group of high school students were sitting, sat down opposite the high school students, and started a heated "verbal discussion."
From Xu Zhi'an's perspective, Su Ran did not lose at all against more than a dozen high school students. On the contrary, the high school students were a little overwhelmed.
"Boss, boss, come and see, the boss lady is bullying us again."
Su Ran glared: "Boss? Even if the King of Heaven comes, you can't run away!"
Just when Su Ran was about to continue to output the line, a slight cough from behind interrupted the words Su Ran had just organized.
Su Ran was stunned for a moment, and looked back to see Zhang Ziqing standing behind him with a helpless expression.
"You're still arguing with these kids."
"What kid? They are seventeen and I am eighteen, so I am no longer a kid?" Su Ran glared.
Zhang Ziqing raised his eyebrows and said, "Then continue." After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute." Su Ran put down her feet on the chair and jogged two steps to keep up with Zhang Ziqing.
"I completed my initiation ceremony yesterday."
Zhang Ziqing nodded, "This is not expected."
"You're not even curious about what that god of divination said and did? What kind of god is he?"
"I'm not curious. Oh no, I'm still a little curious about one thing." Zhang Ziqing said expressionlessly, "I really want to ask him how he survived my sword attack."
Su Ran rolled her eyes and was speechless.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Tomorrow night is the annual meeting of Tianyu Sect's 900th anniversary. Chen Tianming said that I am the 10,000th member of Tianyu Sect. Tomorrow night that god of divination will personally By preaching for me, I guess he wants to take me to heaven.”
"Isn't this very good? With your qualifications, after you go to heaven, you will most likely become a god after practicing for five or six hundred years, and you will be immortal by then."
"With my qualifications, it will take another five to six hundred years?" Su Ran was stunned, "Which kind of qualification is this?"
"None of the gods in the God Realm have practiced for thousands of years. The current Lord of the Heavenly Palace, as the most qualified and talented person in the God Realm, also practiced for a thousand years before becoming a god."
"So my qualifications are better than those of the Lord of Heavenly Palace?"
Zhang Ziqing was silent for a while and nodded, "You can say that."
Su Ran rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "Then why should I be a believer and serve the god of divination? It seems that I have been cultivating his brother for thousands of years, and the Lord of Heavenly Palace will ask me to do it soon."
"Later on, there were a few talented people in the God Realm, but before they had time to grow up, they were killed by the Lord of the Heavenly Palace himself."
"How is this different from what is said in novels? In novels, the male protagonist is extremely talented, and then the opponent sends people to capture him, temper him step by step, and finally have a final decisive battle with the big boss. Now here, in the Heavenly Palace, Why did the Lord do it himself? He must be too cautious."
"You said it's a novel. In reality, the boss will not give the male protagonist a chance to grow up. No matter how talented he is, he will be killed by the boss before he grows up, just like swatting a mosquito to death. "
"What about you, uncle? Have you ever killed someone with a better talent than you?" Su Ran asked curiously.
Zhang Ziqing was silent for a while and nodded, "Yes."
Su Ran was a little surprised: "I just asked casually, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing."
"I can't remember exactly when it was. The child's talent was indeed very good. When he was just born, he caused strange phenomena in the world and even alerted the Emperors Yan and Huang, who put down their clan affairs and came to check it out in person.
It's a pity that the child was relying on his talent. Later, the Yan and Huang Emperors sealed him and Chi You together, and there was some confusion in the clan for a while. The child tried to establish another faction, join forces with the gods, and sit on the throne of the lord of the human race. Location.
Although it is a pity, Emperor Yan once told me that if I train that child well in the future, he will achieve great achievements and be powerful enough to rule the three realms.
If at other times, he had gone astray, I would have had the time and patience to pull him back, but during the war, I couldn't let my people take risks.
For the sake of the overall situation, I can only execute him on the spot.
Until now, the people of their lineage still have some opinions on me. They feel that what the child committed was not a mortal sin. If there is correct guidance, he can still return to the right path. "
"It sounds like the nature of this traitor is no different from Chi You. At most, Chi You succeeded and led his people to betray the human race, and this child was killed by you before he had time to do so. It seems that you did That's right.
And there was still a war going on at the time, so there was no time to give him any guidance. "
Zhang Ziqing sighed softly, "Actually, the people of their lineage can also understand these principles. It's just that my lineage has waited for almost tens of thousands of years to finally have such a genius, and ended up like this. How much There will be some unwillingness.”
"What about you, uncle? Do you regret doing this?" Su Ran asked curiously.
Zhang Ziqing shook his head, "If time goes back to that time and I am asked to choose again, I will still make the same choice. For a person with such a terrible talent, if he takes a wrong path, the consequences will be disastrous."
"That's right." Su Ran narrowed his eyes and smiled: "If you still don't regret it after reviewing it again, it means you must have done the right thing."
Zhang Ziqing said softly: "It's all in the past. It's not good to live too long. The memories are too many and complicated, and many things can't be remembered clearly."
"That's great. I won't think about things that I shouldn't think about, and I will feel much happier." Su Ran said with envy.
"Is there anything unhappy about you?" Zhang Ziqing was a little confused, "It stands to reason that your life has been smooth sailing since you came out of the orphanage."
"I'm just feeling emotional, chicken soup for the soul or something like that." Su Ran narrowed his eyes and smiled, "When I accept the teaching from the god of divination tomorrow, I will be able to ascend to heaven and become a god. I feel excited just thinking about it. "
"You'd better really think so." Zhang Ziqing turned around and entered the room.
