"Good morning, sister Ranran."
"Ah, good morning."
Su Ran yawned, rubbed her eyes, and slowly moved up the stairs step by step to the lobby on the first floor, and glanced at the lobby casually.
"It's nice, another day without guests."
"Two guests came in the morning and sat here for more than an hour, and..."
Xu Zhian pointed to the clock on the wall, "Today is Tuesday, a working day, and it's still one o'clock in the afternoon, so there shouldn't be any guests.
But speaking of it, sister, you actually sleep so late every day. Do you stay up late every night? "
"Nononono, I go to bed before twelve o'clock every day." Su Ran pointed to her face, "Did you see, sister, I have no makeup. To maintain this skin condition for a long time, I have to sleep for beauty sleep every day. , How can I do it if I stay up late?
Go to bed at twelve o'clock and get up at twelve o'clock. If you sleep for twelve hours a day, you will be healthy both physically and mentally. "
"I heard that there are a lot of courses in the university, and sister, you are studying finance. Logically speaking, there should be classes in the morning."
"Escaped."
"Ah?" Xu Zhi'an was stunned for a moment.
"Ah, what? It's normal to skip classes in college, and it's not a big deal. Except for some petty teachers, most teachers can skip classes.
Sister, I am very good at skipping classes. When you come to Jiangda, I will slowly teach you. "Su Ran was very pleased with himself.
"Ah, okay" Xu Zhi'an nodded dullly.
"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked you what major you signed up for." Su Ran suddenly remembered this question.
"I haven't started applying yet, but I'm planning to apply for medicine, but I haven't decided what to apply for yet."
Could it be that medicine is for the kid next door named Quanquan?
"By the way, sister Ranran, I have something to tell you." Xu Zhian said suddenly.
"you say."
"Sister Ranran, you see there are not many customers in our store every day. I am idle here every day with nothing to do. You still pay me so much salary in a month. I feel really bad.
How about you reduce my salary a little, just four to five thousand a month. "
Su Ran was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a while.
She originally thought that what Xu Zhian was going to tell her was to help a neighbor's child register at the People's Hospital.
In theory, this was a small matter that could be easily handled, but the fact that Wu Guizhi secretly replaced cat blood with chicken blood last night still made her a little concerned.
Although Qin Shoumo got his blood back under his own coercion and inducement, some things have been done before and cannot be treated as if they never happened.
But when I was still hesitating, I didn't expect that what this little girl mentioned to me was actually this.
Is your brain going crazy from studying?
Pay cut?
The entire Jiangning City group with a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan is not that big. If the news gets out, people who are willing to come to the store to make coffee will have to queue up outside the province. But this little girl is still thinking about reducing her salary?
Su Ran didn't know for a moment whether to call her stupid or straight-headed.
"By the way, An'an, where do you live?" Su Ran did not answer her question directly.
"I live in Pingyang District, close to Yinshan Mountain, which is already considered a suburb of the city." Although he didn't know why Su Ran asked this question, Xu Zhian still answered honestly.
"That's quite a distance. How do you get home every day?"
"Just take Line 3 to the terminal, and then walk back."
"The terminal of Line 3, Pingyang Bridge? We've just entered Pingyang District, right? It's still far away from your home. It takes more than an hour to walk home, doesn't it feel far?"
Xu Zhi'an shook his head: "Maybe it will be a little bit at first, but year by year, once you get used to it, it won't feel so far away."
Su Ran walked up to Xu Zhian and patted her shoulder: "Let's forget what happened in the past. Now that you have come to our store, there is no need for you to walk home.
Starting today, you will take a taxi home when you commute to and from get off work, and the store will reimburse you for the toll. "
"Ah? Sister Ranran, this...isn't this good? I'm fine. I just walked for a long time, so I treated it as exercise. In fact, I'm not tired at all." Xu Zhian waved his hands quickly.
"Am I the boss's wife?" Su Ran asked seriously.
Xu Zhian was stunned, "Yes."
Su Ran said decisively, "I am the boss's wife, so you have to listen to me. From now on, you have to take a taxi home when you go to and from get off work. Time is life! A waste of time is a waste of life. How can this be done?"
As for your salary, you don’t need to mention it anymore. The boss won the lottery yesterday, and everyone is celebrating. From now on, your salary will be increased by 5,000 yuan a month, which is 15,000 yuan. "
"Won...won the lottery?" Xu Zhian was speechless, feeling that it sounded too fake.
Su Ran waved her hand, "Okay, don't worry about the details. Anyway, this matter is settled. Just listen to me."
Xu Zhian blinked, "Thank you, sister Ranran. I know you are doing it for my own good, and I will definitely do a good job in the store."
Su Ran nodded and pretended to be casual: "By the way, An'an, do you like astronomy or something? Like looking at the stars."
"I like it, the stars are so pretty."
"That's just right. I have three VIP tickets to the planetarium here. You can go to the roof and use the astronomical telescope to see the space. You can see if you can bring some of your relatives and friends to play there."
Xu Zhi'an said in a daze: "This ticket should be very expensive, right? Sister Ranran, go and see it with the boss. It's too precious and I can't use it..."
Su Ran said indifferently: "What's so interesting about a few broken stars? We've both seen them so many times. There's nothing special about them. You can take your friends to see them. With these three tickets, you can go to that planetarium wherever you go." No one will stop you."
Xu Zhian nodded, looked at Su Ran and said: "Sister Ranran, it seems that I owe you more and more since I came to work in the store.
I originally wanted to work hard in the future to repay you and the boss, but the work in the store is actually not busy. Instead, you have been taking care of me. It seems that I will never have the chance to repay you in the future. "
"Anything you haven't paid back is a trivial matter, and it's nothing. Things that can be done with money are not big. And your boss is so rich, this is nothing to him. Come to the store We are a family here, don’t worry about these little things.”
Su Ran had been looking at Xu Zhian while speaking, and suddenly said on a whim: "An'an, I found that you are actually quite beautiful."
"Ah?" Xu Zhi'an blushed and said a little embarrassed: "Sister Ranran, why did you say that suddenly."
"I just suddenly realized that your facial features and face shape are very good-looking, but the matching and styling of your clothes are not very good, and they are a bit out of date." Su Ran commented.
Xu Zhi'an said a little coyly: "I didn't pay much attention to matching or not matching when I was in school, and dressing up also cost money, but now it's quite good."
"That's not possible. When a girl turns eighteen, she changes drastically." Su Ran stood up and ran upstairs. "Anyway, there are no customers in the store today. Let me take you out for shopping. I'll go upstairs. Change your clothes and wait for me for a while."
"Hey, Sister Ranran." Xu Zhi'an originally wanted to call Su Ran and tell her that she didn't need to worry about herself, but before she could say anything, Su Ran had already disappeared.
When Su Ran came down again, she had changed into a more casual set of short-sleeved shirts and shorts. She still had an ordinary black rubber band in her mouth and was tying her high ponytail with her hands.
It only took less than ten minutes for Su Ran to change clothes and come downstairs. Although she didn't wear makeup, as she said, her skin was so good that she didn't need makeup at all.
"Let's go shopping." After Su Ran came down, she didn't wait for Xu Zhian to say anything, and pulled Xu Zhian and ran outside.
"Sister, the store door isn't locked yet!"
When the two people came out, Xu Zhian was pulled by Su Ran and sat in Su Ran's passenger seat. As soon as the two people drove a distance, Xu Zhian remembered that the store door was still wide open when they went out.
"It's okay, there are still people watching in the store." Su Ran didn't care.
"Are you talking about the boss? But I feel like the boss spends almost all his time in his room and doesn't communicate with the outside world. Even if someone comes from the store and steals everything, she won't know." I thought. That young man who looked very aloof, Xu Zhian felt that it was not reliable to let him come to visit the store.
"Whatever, I won't think about all this miscellaneous stuff when I get out. Besides, there's nothing to steal in the store. If you like something, just go and get it."
After Su Ran finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator, and the car suddenly swerved, making Xu Zhian forget what he had planned to say.
Su Ran's car drove very fast, but Xu Zhian could not feel any bumps. The two people's car found every opportunity on the elevated road and quickly reached their destination.
Star and Moon Square.
It is one of the most famous business districts in Jiangning and even in the whole country.
Different from the Internet celebrity shops on Fusu Road where people eat, drink and have fun, Xingyue Plaza mainly focuses on female consumer groups, with various clothing stores, cosmetics stores, etc.
Almost all the girls in Jiangning City come here if they want to buy cosmetics, clothes, or some daily necessities for women.
Because the brand composition of Xingyue Plaza is also various, from luxury to ordinary.
There are Chanel, Dior, LV, etc. for young ladies from wealthy families, and there are also Perfect Diaries for the more common people.
So no matter what the needs are, women of all ages can find something that suits them in Xingyue Plaza.
If you can't find what you want to buy in Xingyue Plaza, it means there is no such thing in Jiangning City.
After Su Ran parked the car in a nearby ground parking lot, she took Xu Zhian straight to several clothing stores on the street that looked high-end from the outside.
Although Su Ran chose suitable clothes for Xu Zhi'an in the store based on her own aesthetics, but after comparing a few clothes, Xu Zhian had to admit that Su Ran's aesthetics and vision were indeed good. Every piece of clothing she picked looked good. They all look good.
So Su Ran simply took them off the hanger and handed them to Xu Zhian, "Go in and give them a try."
Xu Zhian was stunned and looked at the dozen pieces of clothes in Su Ran's hand, "Sister Ranran, this is too much."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a try anyway. Let me see what style suits you."
It is indeed a girl's nature to love beauty.
Although Xu Zhi'an has lived in that shabby tube building for the past eighteen years, he has not bothered to dress up because of his studies and family over the years, and even feels a little unnecessary when entering the store.
But now that he was wearing these sets of clothes, Xu Zhian looked at himself in the mirror and almost couldn't recognize that the girl in the beautiful clothes was the rustic self he had always been.
Good-looking clothes still have a great impact on a girl's image. After Xu Zhian tried on a few clothes with Su Ran's encouragement, he immediately fell in love with the feeling. He looked at the strange but beautiful girl in the mirror. The familiar girl made Xu Zhian feel a little dazed for a moment.
After trying on all the clothes that Su Ran handed over, Su Ran looked thoughtfully at the clothes that Xu Zhian had just tried on, and took out a few pieces that he was not satisfied with and threw them aside. All motioned to the waiter to wrap it up.
"Sister Ranran, this is too much, and these clothes don't seem to be cheap. Each piece costs several thousand. My salary is not enough." Xu Zhian hurriedly approached Su Ran and whispered in Su Ran's ear.
"I went shopping with my sister and you still need to spend money." Su Ran said indifferently, "It's all mine."
"Ah, Sister Ranran, this is not okay. You have given me a salary increase, and you still want to buy me such expensive clothes, and you buy seven or eight pieces at a time. I can't accept it anymore." Xu Zhian was scared. He jumped and waved his hands repeatedly.
The cheapest clothes here cost more than 3,000 yuan for a skirt. All of them add up to 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.
Xu Zhian couldn't even imagine spending 30,000 to 40,000 yuan to buy so many clothes.
The idea that her poor family environment has always instilled in her is that it doesn't matter whether clothes look good or not, as long as they are wearable, and clothes worth tens of yuan can be worn just as well as clothes worth thousands of yuan.
Therefore, Xu Zhian has never worn clothes that cost more than 100 yuan. Even in winter, he and his brother buy down jackets that are advertised online for tens of yuan. Although they have no thermal insulation effect, they wear a few more pieces inside. I can barely get by.
Now Su Ran Qingqing wants to buy tens of thousands of dollars worth of clothes for her. Although the money spent is not her own, Xu Zhi'an feels very distressed.
The styles of these clothes are indeed of a type that I have never seen before. They may only be the kind of good-looking clothes that those beautiful bloggers on Douyin wear when shooting videos.
When wearing it on himself, Xu Zhian suddenly had the idea that he might be very beautiful. He had always been ordinary, like an ugly duckling, and seemed to be turning into a white swan.
It's just that these clothes are too expensive. Su Ran has already given herself so much, and Xu Zhian is embarrassed to accept anything she does for him anymore.
"Just think of it as work clothes, don't worry about so many details." Su Ran waved her hand and said: "Improving your image is also an advantage for our store to attract customers.
When people came to the front desk and saw how beautiful this little girl was, they naturally wanted to sit down and drink coffee. "
Xu Zhian blushed when Su Ran praised him, but he still wanted to say something to make Su Ran give up the idea of buying clothes for him.
But before she could say anything, Su Ran interrupted her again, "Okay, I have already said that I am the boss's wife, and everyone has to obey me. Where is this? Apart from these clothes, my sister will come back later. I’ll take you to get your hair styled, pick out cosmetics, etc., and dress you up today.”
Now that Su Ran said so, Xu Zhi'an couldn't refuse anymore. At worst, he would think of other ways to repay the boss's wife for treating him well.
Soon Xu Zhi'an realized why in those novels on the Internet, girls were chased by rich men who took them to buy clothes and other things.
Even if Su Ran was a woman, the way she took out her credit card to swipe the card when checking out made Xu Zhian feel a bit cool. If she were a man, he would probably fall madly in love with her.
After buying clothes for Xu Zhian, Su Ran thought about it and took Xu Zhian to a relatively large barber shop first.
After entering the door, she asked the hairdresser to design a hairstyle that suits Xu Zhian. It can be permed or dyed. It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not.
The hairstylists in this kind of barber shop are already very experienced, and they can tell at a glance what kind of hairstyle is suitable for Xu Zhian. In addition, Su Ran has such a generous customer, which gives them plenty of room to display.
After a simple trim, the hairstylist, after seeking Su Ran's consent, decided to perm Xu Zhian's hair first.
"Okay, miss, you need to wait for forty or fifty minutes." After curling Xu Zhian's hair, the hairstylist said hello to Su Ran and went to do other things.
"After finishing your hair in a while, I will take you to pick out a set of cosmetics that suits you, and then go have a meal in the evening. Today's happy day has ended successfully." Su Ran looked at Xu Zhian in the mirror and said with satisfaction: "Tsk, I think this hairstyle will definitely look great.”
Xu Zhian smiled and said: "Sister Ranran has such a good taste, I believe you."
"You're quite good at talking." Su Ran sat on the chair next to Xu Zhi'an and pretended to ask casually: "An'an, what do you do at home? I haven't heard about your family situation after coming to the store for so long."
Xu Zhian was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that Su Ran would suddenly ask this question. After thinking for a while, he replied: "There are only two people in my family, my brother and I. Sister Ranran, you also know my situation.
My younger brother is Xu Zhixing, one year younger than me, but he stopped going to school a long time ago and now works in a factory in Pingjiang City next door. "
Su Ran nodded, "What about your parents? Are they working in other places?"
Xu Zhian shook his head, "No, my parents passed away when my brother and I were young."
Su Ran was stunned and quickly said: "Ah, I'm sorry."
Xu Zhian smiled and said: "It's okay, Sister Ranran, this matter has been in the past for a long time.
However, my parents did work outside before. My parents’ hometown is in a small county in Ningxia, Gansu Province. They are from ordinary families. The conditions at home were not good at that time and they did not go to school, so They all dropped out of school early to work.
The two of them also met when they were working. They were both in their hometowns at the time. It is said that they fell in love at first sight and got together soon.
But it is also because the conditions of both families are not good, so they both hope that their children can find someone with better conditions, so the parents of both parties know that they are strongly opposed to them when they are in love, and both parties want to break them up.
After my parents fought for a while, they saw that they couldn't resist the parents of both families, so they decided to elope together and left Ningxia and came to Jiangning City.
However, at that time, Jiangning City was already a first-tier city in the country, and there were highly educated talents everywhere. Naturally, the two of them could not find any good jobs when they came here. They could only wander around various factories every day, working day by day. The day-to-day work is much more difficult than living at home.
But fortunately, the two of them love each other enough. Although their life is a bit bitter, it is also sweet.
Later, as we lived day by day, my parents also gave birth to my brother and me.
Having two more children in the family is an even heavier burden for them. After all, raising children is also very expensive.
In order to earn money for milk powder for my brother and me, my father was introduced to a mine and worked as a miner. The income from this kind of job was quite considerable. My mother also found a job in a warehouse inventory in a nearby supermarket. Although it was tiring, I'm a little tired, but fortunately my job is stable.
Because both my parents need to work to earn money to support the family, and girls become wise earlier than boys, my mother taught me how to cook and take my younger brother out to play when I was seven or eight years old.
Although it is still difficult for a child to do these things, fortunately, my adaptability is pretty good and I quickly learned how to help my mother take care of the house.
Later, my parents remembered that it was time for my brother and I to go to elementary school, but we were both a little too old at that time. Fortunately, the control was not so strict at that time, so my father spent some money on giving gifts. We were sent to a primary school near our home. I started attending it in the sixth grade and my brother started attending it in the fifth grade.
Maybe it's because we didn't lay any foundation before, so my brother and I couldn't keep up. However, elementary school is not that strict, so you can just graduate in a hurry.
By the time I was in junior high school, the problem became apparent.
I don’t know if it was because of his talent or because he didn’t study hard, but my younger brother fell far behind other children of the same age in the first grade of junior high school. He soon became the bottom of the class. Coupled with being a bit naughty, my mother fell behind several times a year. Every time I was called to school by my younger brother's head teacher to criticize him in public.
But my grades were pretty good at that time. Although I was considered a child of migrant workers, I had always been among the best in the class since the first grade of junior high school.
Maybe the gap between the two children was too obvious, and it was difficult for the family to support the study of two children at the same time, so the mother thought of discussing with the father to let the younger brother go to school early to help the family support the family.
I remember that the two of us communicated on the phone. On the phone, my father firmly disagreed, saying that if the boy did not go to school, the consequences would be similar to him, and he would have to work for others throughout his life.
Later, my mother felt that the communication on the phone was not going well, so she decided to go to the mine where my father worked during her vacation to talk to him in person.
Unexpectedly, an accident happened at this time.
When my mother arrived at the mine, a landslide occurred in the mine where my father was working, and my parents were both killed at that time. "
Although a long time has passed, Xu Zhian's voice still trembled slightly when he talked about this matter.
Su Ran put her hand on Xu Zhian's and shook her hand gently. Xu Zhian smiled and indicated that she was fine.
"After the accident at the mine, we contacted our grandparents and grandparents who we had never met before. However, when the family stood together, they felt that the elopement of their children was too real in that small county where acquaintances were everywhere. It was too embarrassing, not to mention that we now have children, so neither family was willing to take my brother and me back.
I was in the second year of junior high school and still had a temper, so I angrily told them that I could live with my brother without them taking care of me.
What I said may have given them an excuse, so they simply went back to their respective homes.
But how can adults take the angry words of an eleven or twelve-year-old child seriously? "
