At 10:30 in the morning, Shao Le parked his car in front of the store.
The store's business hours are now from 1 pm to 10:30 pm. There is no one in the store at this time. Lin Keke stepped forward, opened the door, and led Xia Rou in.
Xia Rou looked very curious and kept looking at the environment in the store. Lin Keke took her around and finally came to the grocery room.
"This is where you will live from now on. There are mattresses and quilts. Just change into a three-piece set. I will take you to the supermarket to buy the rest tonight."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome." Lin Keke was a little taller than her. Seeing that she was about to cry, he stretched out his hand to touch her head and said with a smile: "My sister is the same age as you, and my father has also passed away. Actually, I It’s not much better than you, but you have to believe that everything will be fine in the future.”
"Um."
Xia Rou nodded vigorously.
The two were talking in the room, while Shao Le answered two calls outside. One was from Huo Siyan, who asked where you were and why you didn't come to the company. Shao Le scolded her: "Are you the boss or am I?" Boss, do you need to worry about where I go?"
After saying that, he hung up the phone. The second call was from Xu Zheng. He was fine on Saturday, so he asked Shao Le if he had any work to do today. He also said that he was almost at the school gate. Shao Le asked him to come directly. When he came to the store, Xu Zheng agreed and asked the driver to turn around.
Not a moment longer.
Xu Zheng came to the store. At this moment, Shao Le was arranging Xia Rou: "Do you still have luggage at your aunt's house?"
"Um."
"You will move here later. Today you will learn from a few sisters in the store. Tomorrow you will officially go to work. I will give you one month's salary in advance as your living expenses."
Shao Le guessed that Xia Rou might not have much money left, otherwise she wouldn't choose to work in KTV, so he asked Xia Rou to take out her mobile phone.
Xia Rou's eyes turned red and she glanced at Lin Keke. When she saw Lin Keke lowered his head, she took out a Redmi phone from her pocket with a corner of the tempered film already torn.
Shao Le transferred five thousand yuan to her, then stood up and said, "Let's go to your aunt's house to move our luggage."
Xia Rou hurriedly said: "I can just go by myself."
Shao Le smiled and said: "I'm afraid that you've advanced your salary and won't come later."
"No, no, no."
Xia Rou kept shaking her head and kept saying no.
Lin Keke couldn't stand it any longer. She glared at Shao Le and said to Xia Rou: "He's just teasing you. If he has a car, you can go with him. It's not convenient for you, a girl, to carry your luggage."
Xia Rou nodded obediently.
Xu Zheng was confused, and now he found an opportunity to interject: "Brother Le, what is this?"
"It's a long story. Get in the car with me."
"oh."
Shao Le thought about calling Xu Zheng as a free labor force, since he had nothing to do all day long anyway.
The three of them got into the car, Shao Le drove, Xu Zheng was the passenger, and Xia Rou sat in the back. After she reported the address of her aunt's house to Shao Le, Shao Le drove the car there.
…
"Dong dong dong~"
In the Dongcun Home Community near the Sixth Ring Road in Beijing, Xia Rou took Shao Le and Xu Zheng to the door of a house and knocked on the door.
The old community was not very soundproof, and Shao Le could clearly hear a rustling sound in the house, and soon the door opened.
The person who opened the door was an old woman who looked to be in her fifties. She was tall and round, about 1.5 meters tall, but weighed at least 156 pounds. She saw three people standing outside, and the leader was Xia Rou. Her face darkened and she asked, "Why did you come back? Did you find a job?"
Xu Zheng and Shao Le looked at each other, and after hearing her first words, they knew that this little old lady had a bad temper.
Xia Rou nodded and said, "I found it. This is my boss. I'll come back to get my luggage and move it over."
"boss?"
The little old lady glanced at Shao Le and felt that Xia Rou was telling lies with her eyes wide open. How could there be such a young boss in the world.
This girl is most likely to be in that industry.
That’s all.
She doesn't know how to do anything at this age. If she really can't find a job, she will most likely have to stay at home. Anyway, I have done what I need to do, and I have an explanation for her father, so I will just turn a blind eye. You can just send her away with one eye closed.
Thinking of this, the little old lady let three people into the house. In addition to her, there was a babbling child who had just learned to speak.
Shao Le followed to the door and took a look at where Xia Rou lived.
No wonder she said she could live anywhere. Compared to the place where she lived, the cleared grocery room in the store could be considered a private room.
In a small room of less than ten square meters, filled with all kinds of sundries, there was a small single bed squeezed inside. The length of the small bed was okay, but the width was very narrow, making it difficult to turn over while lying on it.
Xia Rou has quite a lot of luggage, mainly two winter beddings, which can barely fit into a large woven bag.
Upon seeing this, Shao Le directed Xu Zheng to go in and help.
Xu Zheng also saw that the girl was pitiful, so he walked in and started to help her.
Shao Le was standing at the door, giving instructions with his hands behind his back. He really had a 'boss' temperament.
The little old lady had also been sizing him up. Seeing his appearance, the little old lady thought to herself that this young man was very talented and well-dressed. Could it be that a rich second generation fell in love with this girl Xia Rou.
Think about it.
The little old lady deliberately said: "Young man, what do you do?"
Shao Le said: "The one who opened the shop."
"What store?"
Please tell her clearly that she won't understand. Shao Le simply replied: "Milk tea shop."
The little old lady added: "It costs a lot of money to open a store in the capital. You look like you are in your twenties at most. Where do you get the money to open a store?"
Shao Le was not very willing to pay attention to her, so he just said nonsense: "It's for a loan."
The little old lady said oh meaningfully and didn't care. She thought Shao Le was a rich second generation. If that was the case, even if Xia Rou was his mistress, she could still curry favor with him. There was no need now. .
Everything is packed.
A big woven bag, a big coded suitcase, and a bucket filled with various daily necessities. This is all Xia Rou's possessions now.
Shao Le took the initiative to take the suitcase and let Xu Zheng carry the woven bag. The three of them went downstairs the same way. When the little old lady sent Xia Rou to the door, she did not forget to say: "Since you have found a job now , Come here if you have nothing to do next, this place is not big to begin with."
Xia Rou nodded disappointedly.
He went downstairs and stuffed things into the trunk. When he got in the car, he saw that Xia Rou was still a little sad. Shao Le comforted her: "This is the way the world is. The poorer you are, the more your relatives will look down on you. Don't think about anything now. First, Live your life well, and then think about how to improve yourself.”
"Um."
"Now that you have a job and a place to stay, aren't you happy?"
"Have fun..."
"Just smile when you're happy."
"Ah?" Xia Rou didn't quite understand.
Shao Le said with a smile: "When you are working in the store, if you still put on the same bitter face as you do now, the customers will not be willing to come next time. Now show me your smile."
Xia Rou was stunned for a while, her face stiffened for a while before she laughed.
She had a pretty smile. Xu Zheng couldn't help but feel silly and happy when he looked at Xia Rou's smiling face through the rearview mirror.
Looking at the receding scenery outside the window, Xia Rou felt quite emotional. What happened in the past two or three days made her grow up a lot. She knew that society was dangerous and people were unpredictable, but she was in a good mood now. .
Just like Shao Le said, now that I have a job and a place to stay, I don't have to look at my great-aunt's face in the future. It seems that the future will suddenly become much clearer.
The wind has been blowing in Beijing for several days, and it finally stopped today. The sun barely opened a hole in the clouds to let the sunlight shine down. The radio station in the car also played a very old song...
"every time
They are all wandering and staying strong in loneliness
every time
Even if I'm hurt, I won't shed tears
I know
I have always had a pair of invisible wings
take me fly
fly over despair
…”
