There's a gust of wind coming from the south

The weather started to turn hot again, and Shen Shi was already sweating profusely when he returned to the office after paying the down payment for the new house.He loosened his tie, took out the sour plum soup that Xiao Wu had frozen for him in advance from the refrigerator, and drank it in one gulp, exhaling freely.

The house is located in the newly built villa area of ​​Xincheng.Single-family house with good greenery, and each house has a small yard attached to it.Shen Shi fell in love with this place almost at a glance. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bedroom and looking at the artificial swan lake in the center, several thoughts about the happy life in the future have already emerged in his mind.

Just as he was thinking, Nanfeng's phone call came in at the right time.Hearing the other party's voice, the corners of Shen Shi's mouth could not help but rise.

"Brother Shi, what are you doing?"

It was night on Nanfeng's side, and he just got out of the shower and was sitting on the edge of the bed wiping his hair.

Shen Shi: "I just came back from viewing the house, why haven't you slept yet?"

Nan Feng smiled and said softly, "I miss you."

The voice he heard through the phone was like a gentle wind blowing on a spring night, penetrated into Shen Shi's ears and spread all the way to his heart, and then gently scratched the apex of his heart, making Shen Shi suddenly feel numb.

"Hey, don't tease me." Shen Shi cleared his throat, "Lonely old man who stays alone in a vacant room can't bear this the most."

There was another chuckle from the other end of the phone: "Wait a little longer, I'll be back soon."

"Ha, that's what I mean. You study hard over there, take care of your body and mind." Shen Shi paused, and said affectionately, "I'll wait for you."

"Yeah." Nanfeng hung up the towel, moved closer to the receiver and lowered his voice, "I'll make it up to you when I go back."

This sentence successfully replayed the pictures that Shen Shi made up in his brain in the villa today. He only felt his breath sinking, and he couldn't help but grab the phone and said in a hoarse voice: "Wait, I'll eat you soon." It's clean."

……

"咚咚-"

Unfortunately, there was a knock on the door outside the office at this time, interrupting the shameless flirting between the two.

"Have guests?" Nan Feng asked.

Shen Shi let out a regretful "Mmm", looking like he didn't enjoy the conversation at all.

"Busy, Brother Shi, I should go to bed too."

"Okay." Shen Shi sighed, "Dream about me."

"Okay." The other party chuckled, "Then... good night?"

"Good night."

Shen Shi waited for Nanfeng to hang up the phone first, then put on his tie again, got up and went to open the door.

The moment he saw the visitor, Shen Shi had a slightly surprised expression on his face.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, how did Mr. Kuang know to knock on the door this time?"

Kuang You walked into the room with a dark face and said nothing, put his coat on the sofa casually, turned his head to look at Shen Shi, raised his chin slightly: "I'll give you twenty punches, I have something to ask you when it's over. .”

Shen Shi folded his arms and looked Kuang You up and down, with a half-smile on his face: "No, what are you doing?"

Kuang You gritted his teeth, and said in a cold voice: "Is it possible to be quick? I won't come to you until the end of the world."

Shen Shi calmly returned to the tea table and sat down, boiling water for tea.The scene in front of me is too familiar, but the two sides have completely changed sides this time.It really is 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

"Gu Dao should have told you about everything about me, right? Anyway, this is the situation now, whether you laugh or scold, give me a word if you want to help."

Shen Shi just brought the teacup to his mouth and paused, couldn't help but sneered: "It rhymes? Why are you still saying the jingle?"

Kuang You didn't say a word, and turned his head away awkwardly.He really wanted to turn around and leave now, and if he stayed like this, he might be told what the other party would say.It was as if countless knives were slashing desperately at Kuang You's face, cutting off all self-esteem and pride.He gritted his teeth in humiliation and closed his eyes, but Gu Dao's big black eyes suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Ayouyou, come on."

As if encouraged, Kuang You took a deep breath and looked at Shen Shi again.

"Is your inner drama over?" Shen Shi raised his eyes.

Kuang You: "..."

Shen Shi raised his chin towards the opposite sofa: "Then sit down and talk about business."

Kuang You didn't expect that Shen Shi didn't humiliate him again, he glanced at the other party with some doubts, walked to the sofa and sat down nervously.

Shen Shi calmly handed him a cup and filled it with tea.

"Try it, the white hedgehog is sent from the west of Sichuan. Go to Huo Anshen, it's very suitable for you."

Kuang You picked up the teacup silently and took a sip, his brows were tightened in pain.

"Fuck, is this tea or medicine?"

Shen Shi smiled when he heard the words: "Don't worry, the sweetness will come later."

Sure enough, as the tea rolled into the abdomen, the bitterness at the root of the tongue gradually disappeared and the sweetness began to return.Kuang You tasted it carefully, and took another sip, only to feel that the aftertaste is endless.

"How does it feel to be rewarded after suffering, Mr. Kuang?" Shen Shi asked with a smile.

Kuang You was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Good tea."

Shen Shi took out a pack of cigarettes from the coffee table, took one and handed it to Kuang You, then lit another and put it in his mouth.

Kuang You didn't dare to be ignorant this time, obediently took the cigarette Shen Shi handed over, and smoked in a muffled voice.

After half a cigarette, Shen Shicai said slowly: "You originally planned to open several stores, what's the progress now?"

"Ten planned, all concentrated in tourist cities."

"The cost is not low, is it?"

Kuang You looked at Shen Shi with an expression of "What do you think?"

"That's right, I also have your expression." Shen Shi nodded, "If you say that there is nothing wrong with choosing a tourist city, the problem lies in the positioning of 'Xiangxuli' itself."

He flicked the ashes and continued: "The reason why you succeeded in opening this light luxury hotel in Ancheng is because you were the first person to eat crabs. To be honest, light luxury hotels are now placed in other big cities Especially tourist cities are not new. There are some local operators who are more familiar with the environment and more mature than you. Why do you think you can do better than others? Not to mention that the cost of your luxury is so damn high , otherwise there will be no problems at this juncture..."

Kuang You frowned, bowed his head and remained silent.

"Kuang'er, we used to eat a kind of ice cream when we were young. It was made of saccharine. It was very sweet when we licked it with our tongues, but if we bit it in a hurry, it would be so bitter."

"You're right, it's true that you became careless after eating some sweets..." Kuang You heaved a sigh of relief, put his hands on his forehead and gave a wry smile, "But it's meaningless to say these things now."

"It stands to reason that you are not a person who gets carried away when you are proud, why you are so anxious, you know for yourself."

Shen Shi didn't speak clearly, and just clicked.

He stubbed out the cigarette butt and changed the subject: "Since similar hotels can't do it, you might as well try to make a difference."

Kuang You raised his eyes, motioning for him to continue.

Shen Shi held back his smile, and said sternly, "I have probably done some research on the cities you chose. City A and City D are cultural ancient cities, and the main things worth visiting are the old city buildings and former residences of literati. City C, City E was once a red｜color revolutionary area, and there have been several major historical turning points. Most of the above four places have cultural landscapes, and most tourists come here to appreciate the local history and culture. City B and F are along the coast, and the cities themselves With petty bourgeois sentiment, it is a favorite place for young people who pursue romance. City G and City I are surrounded by a lot of natural scenery, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and beautiful scenery. Although H and J are relatively remote, there are some local The raging canyons and high mountains, this is a paradise for experienced travel friends and backpackers... I have to say, Mr. Kuang is quite good at choosing places.”

"so what?"

Shen Shi: "According to local conditions, make different plans for the hotel in combination with the local cultural environment and innate conditions, and focus on young people who are easy to ferment word-of-mouth and have the courage to try. Clarify their real preferences and needs, and make a difference from the hotel. Unique to other hotels.”

"You mean themed hotel?" Kuang You asked.

Shen Shi shook his head: "The hotel's construction cost is too high. If you want to build it well, you and I may not have the financial strength. It is very likely to repeat the same mistakes. If the construction cost is reduced, the expected effect may not be achieved. When the time comes It will have the opposite effect..."

"Then what do you mean?"

Shen Shi took a sip of tea and put down the cup.

"What do you think of the chain theme youth hostels?"

Kuang You's hands drank tea slightly stagnated, and a trace of irresistible interest appeared in his eyes.

Kuang You: "...Continue?"

Shen Shi nodded: "Youth hotels don't need to be large in size, and the decoration doesn't need to be high-end. We spend our money wisely and strive to be unique. We don't need to hire too many employees. Each store is equipped with a staff who is familiar with the local history and culture. And the steward of the best route, this person has to be strictly screened by us and trained from scratch, Mr. Kuang has experience in this."

Shen Shi took a sip of tea and continued: "As the tourism industry matures, young people's enthusiasm for group tours has gradually faded, and more people prefer to choose independent travel. What they need is a place that gives them A conscience guide with the greatest choice rights and a home that makes them feel comfortable and stylish. Reduce rigid development costs in the early stage, enhance flexible packaging, and improve the overall style. The price should not be set too high, but advance reservations are required for occupancy. Most It’s better to bind some local film festivals, music festivals and so on, in short, we can do whatever young people like.”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Kuang You: "Mr. Kuang has more experience in hotel management than I do. If you are interested, why not join hands this time and try it out?...Give up halfway, it's no fun to just fill in the holes, and stir up the stagnant water. That's what I do."

"You...do you still trust me?" Kuang You looked at Shen Shi with complicated eyes.

Shen Shi smiled: "If you believe me, I will believe you."

"But why..." Kuang You paused, "Help me?"

"I'm not helping you, but I want to seek a win-win situation." Shen Shi poured the cold tea in Kuang You's cup onto the tea pet, changed another cup for him, and said, "We need a strong base to do this. I will make arrangements for Xiangsheli, if it’s yours, it’s still yours, and it’s my sincerity in asking you to cooperate.”

Kuang You frowned: "Your surname is Shen, you really don't intend to take revenge for those few punches?"

"Kuang'er." Shen Shi pursed his lips, looked at Kuang You and said in a deep voice, "Doing things and being a person are indeed two different things sometimes, but before doing things, you still need to know how to be a person."

After he finished speaking, he patted Kuang You on the shoulder and stood up: "Let's go, I'm still rushing home to cook for Xiaotu."

Shen Shi took a few steps forward, and saw Kuang You behind him still standing motionless.

He couldn't help but tease him: "You're sensitive again, Mr. Kuang? I really didn't mean to scold you."

But Kuang You didn't retort this time.He looked at Shen Shi in silence, his throat moved up and down, he hesitated to speak.

"Why? Want to stay on duty for me?"

"Know brother."

"Hey, tell me."

Kuang You took a deep breath: "...I was wrong."
