A foreign city, dear you

After the payment was completed, it was already past six o'clock.

Ye Lian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly called all the employees to the bakery and paid them their wages.

Han Yumo also said goodbye to Boss Chen's office and came to Ye Lian's bakery.

Han Yumo stood in front of the bakery cabinet and said, "The bakery cabinet designed by Cao Gong is good. My later bakery cabinets also followed this style."

"Really?" Ye Lian was a little surprised and a little proud.

"Yes, but I made some improvements."

Han Yumo often went out to learn about other bakeries' store designs, cabinet styles, bread quality and bread texture, which impressed Ye Lian very much.

"Are you going home?" Han Yumo asked.

"Well, I'm going home."

"Then I will send..."

While the two were talking, Ye Lian's phone rang.

It's Cao Xueqian.

After Ye Lian answered the phone, Han Yumo smiled: "Gong Cao is so considerate, I was thinking of sending you home."

"He knew I came to the bakery, so he said he would pick me up. Thank you today, otherwise I wouldn't know if I could get the payment."

"Thank you for what? I'm passing by here too, so you can leave without me seeing you off."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Ye Lian sent Han Yumo to the entrance of the shopping mall. Han Yumo's car was parked outside.

……

Ye Lian got into Cao Xueqian's car at the entrance of Yuehe Shopping Mall.

It was already dark and the street lights were on one by one.

On the way, Cao Xueqian asked Ye Lian some things in the bakery, and Ye Lian told Cao Xueqian what happened during today's settlement.

Ye Lian thought again about the baker asking for leave.

“It’s hard to celebrate the Chinese New Year this year,” Ye Lian said gloomily.

"what happened?"

"The baker at the bakery will take leave for the Spring Festival and go home. Ye Lu has to take over his shift, and I will take over Ye Lu's shift. In other words, during the Chinese New Year, I will come to the store to sell bread."

"It's okay. Shanshan and I will accompany you and let Shanshan experience selling bread."

"It's not just one or two days, he's going back for ten days."

"Ten days is ten days."

"Forget it, it's impossible for the whole family to stay in the bakery for ten days. You'd better take Lanshan to play somewhere else, or go back to your hometown."

"I want to go back as a family. If you don't go back, we won't go back either." Cao Xueqian replied instantly.

Ye Lian smiled and said no more.

I remembered that I had already given the baker two raises, but he still made things difficult for me by asking for leave or asking for leave.

I remember sometimes getting calls from the bakery in the middle of the night saying that a machine was broken;

Thinking of asking grandpa to sue grandma to settle the payment;

I remember that I couldn’t even celebrate the Spring Festival because of a bakery,

Ye Lian suddenly felt bored and tired of opening a bakery.

"I don't want to open this bakery." Ye Lian glanced at Cao Xueqian.

"what happened?"

"I just don't want to leave suddenly, and I feel unhappy when I think of the baker."

"You can ask Han Yumo how he handled this situation."

"Han Yumo has many stores, and staff can be transferred between stores."

"If it's just because of the baker, you can hire another one. It doesn't matter if the salary is higher. Can't your shop still make some money every month?"

"It depends on whether the mall will increase fees when the contract is renewed next year. If fees continue to increase, there will be no money left."

"Have you thought about it yourself?"

"I don't know, I have this idea for the time being. In addition to being a baker, I feel that I am not the type to do business, and I don't like it either. It's troublesome to settle the payment now. I owe the payment today to Han Yumo, otherwise I'm afraid it wouldn't be so Got it smoothly."

"Then you should think it over for yourself. Anyway, I will support you whether you open it or not."

"Don't you think your wife is useless? Han Yumo can make so much money by opening a bakery, but I'm just doing nothing."

"Why do you want to compete? I asked you to open a store in the first place to find something to do for you to have fun. If you don't enjoy doing it, just don't do it. It's not a big deal."

Cao Xueqian paused: "Han Yumo is better than you, and Cheng Yufei is better than me. There are many better men than me in Yancheng. Should I compete too? The more we compete, the more troubled we become. Don't compete. , live your life how you feel comfortable.”

"I feel very ashamed to see Han Yumo handle things so easily today. I will never be able to learn her ability to handle things with ease and ease."

"I didn't ask you to learn. Just be yourself. You're used to the simplicity on campus, so it's normal that you're not good at business."

"Maybe, when you say something or do something, you always have a lot of worries, looking forward and backward, and being timid."

Cao Xueqian smiled: "If you use the sharp tongue in front of me in the business field, you can also control the wind and rain."

"Really? Am I sharp-tongued in front of you?"

Cao Xueqian smiled and did not answer, concentrating on driving his car.

Ye Lian looked at Cao Xueqian, thinking about the last words he just said.

It seems like this.

It seems that I am more eloquent in front of Qian.

That's because I feel most relaxed and at ease in front of Qian, and I never have to worry about anything. If you say the right thing, Qian will support and applaud; if you say the wrong thing, Qian will tolerate and understand.

It is precisely because of this that every time I was hit or wronged outside, as soon as I returned to Qian, I would feel at ease and relieved.

Just like now, after talking to Qian Yi, I felt much more comfortable and stopped thinking about the bakery for the time being.

Whether this bakery will open or not will be decided next year.

****************************

2012 is here as planned.

This day is the first day of the Lunar New Year.

On New Year's Day, Ye Lian was not at home or with her family.

She sells bread in the bakery of Yuehe Shopping Mall, replacing Yelu.

The baker returned to his hometown a few days ago, and Ye Lu wanted to take his place in making bread.

On this day, Yuehe Shopping Mall and the outside were two different worlds.

Outside is a happy world celebrating the New Year with the sound of firecrackers; while inside Yuehe Shopping Mall is a deserted world without firecrackers and laughter.

Although, the shopping mall is filled with all kinds of prosperous and festive New Year products.

On the first day of the new year, there were few people in the mall, only some staff on duty.

Of course, not many people came to buy bread.

It’s Chinese New Year and there’s nothing delicious to eat? Who will buy this bread to satisfy their hunger?

Ye Lian looked at the deserted shopping mall and the bread in the bakery cabinet, feeling a little sad.

Her heart is not in the mall, not in the bakery.

Her heart flew outside.

I wonder where Qian and Lanshan are at this time? What are you doing?

Alas, for Ye Lian's family, this year's "Chinese New Year" is very unlike "Chinese New Year".

Last night on New Year's Eve, when thousands of families were rejoicing, Lanshan was the only one watching the Spring Festival Gala at home watching the TV.

Because Ye Lian also sells bread in the bakery, and Cao Xueqian is accompanying Ye Lian in the bakery.

By the time Ye Lian and Cao Xueqian returned home, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

There were fireworks and firecrackers outside, and when Ye Lian opened the door and saw Lan Shan alone, she felt a little sad.
