The place Jiang Shi was going to was a curry shop.
When she was working in her previous life, she often had lunch in this curry shop.
After a few visits, she became familiar with the boss.
The other party was a few years older than her. Calculating the time, he should have inherited the family business and taken over the job from his parents.
This was one of her few old friends in Haizhou. Since she was already here, she might as well take a look.
At this time, Haizhou was still developing. In the shadow of high-rise buildings, there were all kinds of narrow and compact alleys.
But soon these places would disappear and become commercial areas one after another.
The place Jiang Shi was looking for was here.
This was a three-story building. After a few years, all the surroundings were demolished, but this small building was left.
It seemed as if it had been forgotten by time. It always stood there, and the surroundings looked different every year.
The old friend once complained to Jiang Shi that if this building was also demolished.
He doesn't have to cook curry in the pot every day, nor does he have to get up early and go to bed late, busy from morning to night.
"Boss, a curry pork chop rice!"
The store is not big, but it is very clean, and there is a menu on every table.
But Jiang Shi didn't even look at it, and just shouted.
After a while, a man ran out from the back kitchen, with slightly curly hair and frowning brows.
After seeing that the person coming was a little girl, he had to lower his voice and said, "The door is open at twelve o'clock, and the curry is not ready yet. You have to wait a long time."
"It's okay, if there is anything else to eat, give me one to fill my stomach."
Jiang Shi didn't care. She knew all this, but coming early has its advantages.
For example, you don't have to queue...
After a while, the man brought a bowl of soup, in which two or three eggs and seaweed floated alone.
"This is all I have. If it's not enough, go to the pot over there and add more."
Jiang Shi stirred it with a spoon and drank it slowly. After getting off the car, she only drank a cup of coffee.
My throat is dry now, so this bowl of clear soup is not bad.
After sitting for about half an hour, the man walked to Jiang Shi with a plate.
"Curry chicken rice, 10 yuan."
Jiang Shi subconsciously reached for his phone, and only then did he remember that online mobile payment is not popular yet.
I always use cash when I go out, and now it seems a lot more troublesome.
But fortunately, the curry rice tastes as good as ever.
"Boss, your curry is good. Have you ever considered changing the store, starting a chain, and making it bigger and stronger?"
Jiang Shi talked while eating.
The man probably finished his preparations. There were no other customers now, so he could only sit behind the cashier in a daze.
Hearing Jiang Shi's words, the man took off his apron, revealing the shirt and shorts underneath, snorted and then said impatiently: "Chain? How can it be that easy? You are young, but you think a lot."
Jiang Shi really didn't understand how to run a chain store, but she knew that this was a trend, and there would be bigger opportunities such as takeout in the future.
This old friend of hers has always regretted not making up her mind to take this step.
By the time she realized it, she had already lost the opportunity to compete with others.
Opportunities are like this. Once missed, there is no chance to come back.
Jiang Shi did not refute, but just continued to eat, but an idea was slowly brewing in her mind.
However, any plan cannot be realized without one thing, that is money...
Huajian Cafe.
Shi Qinglan still sat in her original position, but the coffee at hand was replaced by a sandwich.
She came to Haizhou this time not just to meet Jiang Lai.
"Qinglan, how come you have time to ask me out for a meeting?"
The man took off his baseball cap, revealing an old face. He was an elderly man.
He was casual, as if he had just strolled here.
"Mr. Zhong, please sit down."
Shi Qinglan did not dare to neglect him, and stood up to help him sit down.
"It's okay, I'm not that bad."
The old man waved his hand to let Shi Qinglan not worry.
If Jiang Shi was here, she would definitely recognize that this was Mr. Zhong Jinming, a well-known modern writer in China.
The honors he had were countless, and his literary attainments were also very high. He was considered a leading figure in the literary world.
He was also a visiting professor at many top universities.
Such a person, let alone Shi Qinglan, even if the boss of "Story" came, he would have to be respectful.
However, because of family relations, Shi Qinglan had a good personal relationship with Mr. Zhong.
This time, the higher-ups also hope that she can ask Professor Zhong to review the new journal.
Listen to Shi Qinglan's simpleZhong Jinming thought for a moment after he made his intention clear.
He smiled and said, "It's possible, but you have to know that I, an old man, have very high requirements."
Shi Qinglan nodded, "I definitely know that."
"That's good. From your appearance, you are very confident about this batch of manuscripts!" Zhong nodded.
Shi Qinglan pushed the laptop in front of him over.
"This is the first batch of manuscripts to be promoted."
Zhong took the mouse. Although he was old, he did not stop learning new things.
Using a laptop is also simple.
Zhong read much faster than Shi Qinglan. After a while, he closed his eyes and began to ponder.
After a moment, Zhong Jinming opened his eyes and said, "Not bad!"
"It's a good novel. Who wrote it? Han Yan? No, that guy is good at writing about people, but I haven't seen him touch this subject."
"Cao Tong? No, he can't write about this kind of taste. It's strange."
Mr. Zhong frowned and said a name after another, including some famous writers.
Shi Qinglan smiled and said, "Mr. Zhong, don't guess. The author of this manuscript is a 16-year-old female high school student."
"Don't come on, do you think I'm really an old man with dementia?"
Mr. Zhong thought Shi Qinglan was joking with him, staring at him carefully, trying to find some clues between the lines.
"If I lie to you, let my grandfather be struck by lightning!"
"Does your grandfather know that you are using his name to do this?"
After listening, Mr. Zhong smiled, not that he didn't believe Shi Qinglan.
But this is too bizarre. It is hard to believe that a sixteen-year-old child can write such words.
"If it is true as you said, then this little girl is really a genius. If she is well trained, her future achievements will be immeasurable!"
After saying this, Mr. Zhong read it carefully for a while, and then sighed again.
Shi Qinglan asked hurriedly: "What's wrong, Mr. Zhong, is there any problem?"
In terms of literary attainments, ten of her combined are not as good as the old man opposite. Maybe the other party has seen some potential flaws.
"The article is good, but it is too artificial. Look at these words and sentences. There is no agility of a young man at all!"
Mr. Zhong pointed to some words and sentences on the screen and sighed.
"Children nowadays mature too fast. When I was in my twenties, I followed my uncle around the country. I didn't write my first work until I was nearly 40."
"It's a pity that I can no longer write the feeling I had when I was young. People should write what kind of texts they should write at different stages."
"To be able to write such a deep-minded character, this child must have experienced a lot of ups and downs."
Shi Qinglan took back the laptop, and Jiang Shi's appearance appeared in her mind. Now thinking back, under his sunny appearance, there is always a kind of adult calmness and tactfulness.
