Rebirth of the stand-in star

one year later.

"Lei Ruo, the cafe opens today, have you prepared everything?" Xue Kongyan yelled loudly in the bedroom.

Lei Ruo was making lemon black tea in the restaurant, without turning his head, he said, "It's ready, and the ceremony of worshiping the God of Wealth will be held at ten o'clock on time. I invited a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain to help the cafe pray for wealth."

Xue Kongyan showed a face, "You hired a Taoist priest? No way?"

Lei Ruo turned around and smiled, "This is a beautiful meaning. Besides, this old Taoist has prayed for blessings and wealth for many restaurants and hotels, which is very spiritual."

Xue Kongyan turned his head back, "Only you can believe it. Well, I don't care anyway, it's just a cafe, just for fun."

Lei Ruo sighed lightly.

In fact, Xue Kongyan's property is not much.After the incident of jumping into the sea, he gave up his thoughts of continuing to hang out in the entertainment circle, and recuperated at home for several months.After the money he earned in Times Entertainment was learned, he only got a few million in his hands. In addition, he still maintains the habit of being extravagant. I like to eat in fancy restaurants.If you sit and eat like this, you will have to drink the northwest wind sooner or later.

He didn't know the salary of Lei Ruo's housekeeper, so according to his own idea, he gave Lei Ruo 8000 yuan a month.Lei Ruo didn't say anything, accepted it, and turned around to subsidize all the household, food and car maintenance.In fact, the annual salary of a butler with his qualifications is 30 yuan, which Ling Zhiqiu has already paid.

Lei Ruo has a clear grasp of Xue Kongyan's financial situation after staying with Xue Kongyan for half a year.Xue Kongyan doesn't have any big investments. He has some money in the stock market. He has three regular investment funds, and two small properties for rent. The rest of the money is in the bank, and he occasionally buys short-term financial products.

If things go on like this, it's no problem to maintain a living, and it's impossible to get rich, and it's hard to say whether Lei Ruo can support Lei Ruo in the long run.

Therefore, Xue Kongyan thought about opening a unique cafe.He only had three days of enthusiasm for doing things, and after running around the field for a few days, everything was pushed on Lei Ruo.

Lei Ruo could have ignored it. After all, the housekeeper only cared about life, not an assistant, let alone an agent. The housekeeper didn't need to care about these business matters.But he accepted all the bills and worked hard.Xue Kongyan took care of everything from market research, site selection, purchasing channels, finding people, and store decoration.

Xue Kongyan didn't completely act as a shopkeeper, he still did two things: one was to bring in the satellite as a partner, and the other was to point and raise a lot of requests during the decoration.

Today, this cafe called "Crete" has finally opened, and everything is ready, it only needs an opening ceremony.

After Lei Ruo finished making black tea, he served an English breakfast, and after eating with Xue Kongyan, he got up and went to the cafe.

The opening ceremony was decent. Xue Kongyan, wearing sunglasses and a hat, burned incense and worshiped the God of Wealth together with the satellite. The old Taoist priest invited by Lei Ruo walked around every corner of the cafe and sprinkled some "God of Wealth". Water", after muttering the scriptures, he simply took the money and left.

Lei Ruo gathered several waiters together, and listened to the two bosses' lectures at the door. There were many flower baskets outside the coffee shop, all of which were sent by friends from Weixing, and some of them were bought by Lei Ruo to fill the space.

The ceremony was quite lively.

After the end, a group of customers came into the store to order soon, and they appreciated the Mediterranean style of the cafe very much.

This afternoon, Xue Kongyan and Weixing had dinner with a group of good friends they met in Haishi before, and went to drink and sing K at night, and they played around until very late before Lei Ruo took him home.

"Hee hee hee..." He was lying on the back seat of the car, still excited, laughing non-stop, "It's been a long time... hiccup... I haven't been this happy for a long time... Lei Ruo, hahaha..."

He laughed silly, and called Lei Ruo's name several times.

The handsome butler looked at his employer in the rearview mirror, and responded one by one with a gentle smile, without any impatience.

Xue Kongyan made a fool of himself in the back for a while, and then sat up staggeringly with blushing cheeks, put his hand on the back of the driver's seat, looked at Lei Ruo's side face with misty eyes, "... huh? ah……"

Lei Ruo took the time to turn his head and glance at him, "Young Master Xue, please sit down quickly and fasten your seat belt."

Xue Kongyan turned a deaf ear to it, and reached out dishonestly to stroke Lei Ruo's face.

Lei Ruo's heart skipped a beat.

Xue Kongyan murmured: "...Brother Ye, is that you?...Are you back? Are you looking for me?"

Brother Ye.Obviously not calling yourself.Lei Ruo remained silent and did not answer.

Xue Kongyan touched for a while, then reached into Lei Ruo's clothes more presumptuously, and scratched a few times on the collarbone with his nails. "Brother Ye, you are so cruel..."

Lei Ruo pulled his hand down with his right hand, "Young Master Xue, you mistook the person, I am Lei Ruo."

Xue Kongyan ignored it, "Do you know, I have already understood what kind of person you are...but...I just can't let go, woo...I can't let go..."

He laughed heartlessly just now, but burst into tears in an instant, Lei Ruo was a little worried about him, and subconsciously held his hand, "Calm down, we'll be home soon."

"We'll be home soon..." Xue Kongyan repeated, maybe tired again, he fell back on the seat and closed his eyes.

Lei Ruo let out a sigh of relief.

When getting out of the car, Xue Kongyan was already unconscious, Lei Ruo was in good shape, and it was no problem to hug a man who was a few centimeters shorter than him, especially Xue Kongyan was quite thin, so he easily brought him back home.

On the way, Xue Kongyan opened his eyes in a daze, looked around out of focus, then fixedly looked at Lei Ruo, put his arms around his neck, buried his head in his neck, and fell asleep again.

The breath he exhaled was hot and itchy, and Lei Ruo couldn't help shrinking his neck, but he didn't change his position.

When he got home, the housekeeper carried his employer to the master bedroom, bent down to take off his shoes and socks, took off his coat and pants, and changed into pajamas and pajamas. The service attitude was extremely serious and responsible.

He had just covered Xue Kongyan with the quilt and checked it. He looked back at the pillow, only to find that Xue Kongyan's big peach blossom eyes had opened, staring straight at him.

That appearance startled Lei Ruo, "...Young Master Xue?"

Xue Kongyan stretched out the quilt and grabbed Lei Ruo's arm to pull him closer. Then he hooked Lei Ruo's neck with lightning speed, and squeezed tightly. The distance between the tip of their noses was less than two centimeters.

Lei Ruo hurriedly supported Xue Kongyan's head with his hands, "Young Master Xue?"

Xue Kongyan looked at him with hopeless affection in his eyes. With trembling lips, he kissed Lei Ruo's lips and closed his eyes.

Lei Ruo stared at him closely for a while, sighed in his heart, and finally closed his eyes slowly, but did not leave his lips, but seized the initiative and kissed the drunk Xue Kongyan.

The panting of the two gradually became heavier.

Men, when they are stimulated, they will naturally respond as they should.

Xue Kongyan's eyelashes trembled, and he moaned "um" from his nose. He strangled the butler's neck tightly and refused to let go. After several kicks, he kicked away, and his calf rubbed against Lei Ruo's thick thigh.

Lei Ruo had already completely lay on Xue Kongyan's body, and his hands couldn't help sneaking into the hem of his pajamas, stroking his smooth and tender skin.

After a while, Xue Kongyan raised his neck impatiently, "Well, Ye..."

Hearing this sound, Lei Ruo immediately woke up from the confusion!

He raised his arms and looked at Xue Kongyan who was still in a daze.

The man got drunk, and soon lost the enthusiasm he had just now. His arms and legs slid off Lei Ruo's body feebly. After struggling for a long time, he couldn't open his eyes. He finally smacked his lips and fell asleep.

Lei Ruo has complicated eyes.The mood is more complicated.

He slowly got up from the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, pulled the quilt carefully, tidied Xue Kongyan's messy forehead hair, and finally stroked Xue Kongyan's tender cheeks gently with the balls of his fingers.

Ugh……

Having been together day and night for the past year, Lei Ruo already has a very good understanding of Xue Kongyan's character.

This is a person who is habitually arrogant, but not really proud. He even has a slight inferiority complex deep in his heart.

He wants to show his dominance and strength over things with his teeth and claws, but he exposes his fragile and fragile self even more.

He lacks love and care, and Lei Ruo just fulfilled his duties as a housekeeper, and quickly gained his wholehearted favor and trust.

At a certain moment, he would suddenly show an expression of fear and fear, curled up on the sofa alone, biting his fingers nervously, arousing love and affection.

When he was sick, he would lie down under the blanket, take medicine obediently, and close those beautiful peach eyes, but the eyeballs under the eyelids were still moving uneasily.

He was very persuasive, saying that if he was not allowed to go to bed late, he would not go to bed late, and said that if he wanted to eat breakfast, he had to eat breakfast.

Lei Ruo mentioned a few words to remind him to pay attention to financial management and not to just buy useless things back home. After listening to the words for a few days, he began to revert to his old ways, but he carefully showed Lei Ruo, saying, "Everything you buy this time is useful... "

Whenever he was impatient and unfamiliar with something, he would always shout: "Lei Ruoruo, help me!"

……

Sitting under the light, Lei Ruo stared at Xue Kongyan's peaceful sleeping face, his eyes softened.

After a while, he clenched his fists, bent down lightly, and placed a soft kiss between Xue Kongyan's eyebrows.

When he woke up the next morning, Xue Kongyan forgot everything, sat on the breakfast table rubbing his head and yawned, "Lei Ruo, when did we come back last night? I don't even remember saying hello to the satellite."

"It's a hit, you said goodbye to him." Lei Ruo poured him a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, "Drink it quickly, this is a hangover."

"Oh." Xue Kongyan took it, drank half of it, licked the corners of his mouth, and wrinkled his nose, "It's so sour."

"Hurry up and eat the sandwich." Lei Ruo handed it to him.

Xue Kongyan was a little embarrassed, "I can't eat it."

"No, you must eat something after a hangover to promote alcohol breakdown. And you just drank juice, and your stomach will feel uncomfortable if you don't eat. You will feel much better after eating this." Lei Ruo coaxed him patiently.

Xue Kongyan had no choice but to stuff it into his mouth, and took a few bites, "...you put bacon and cheese."

"Ah."

After eating, Xue Kongyan didn't know if it was true but still felt uncomfortable. He sat on the sofa, hugged the pillow, and kept yelling that he had a headache, "Lei Ruoruo, come and rub my head."

Lei Ruo replied from the kitchen, "Okay, wait until I finish washing the dishes."

Xue Kongyan purposely ran to lie down on the deck chair by the balcony, Lei Ruo washed his hands, dried them carefully with a towel, and then came over and slowly rubbed the top of his head with his fingertips.His fingertips passed through the dark and soft hair, bringing out the smell of shampoo.

Xue Kongyan closed his eyes, breathed out comfortably through his nose, the warm orange sun hit his face, and his eyelashes turned golden.

There was peace and tranquility in the air.

This is the second day of the cafe's opening, and the freshness is still there. After taking a good rest in the morning, having lunch, and taking a nap, the two set off to the cafe to take care of the business.

The store manager is specially selected by Lei Ruo, who is very smart and experienced.There are three more regular shop assistants and two part-time students. All of them are pretty good-looking, not to mention sweet and cute, at least both men and women are pretty, with friendly smiles.

The navy-style work clothes were specially chosen by Xue Kongyan. With the Mediterranean style of sea blue and white, the whole cafe is very small and fresh.

Xue Kongyan made a round of inspection, sat down with Lei Ruo in the corner, ordered two cups of coffee, and whispered.

"The satellite has returned to the capital, we have to take good care of it here, so that the money invested by others will not go to waste." Xue Kongyan had a cautious expression.

Lei Ruo nodded, "Okay. On the second day of today, the attendance rate is already 50% in the afternoon. The situation is good. But there are some things that must be done next. One is to open Weibo. Now many young people use Weibo. It is a very good way of publicity; the second is to study special new products. Since Mr. Xue, you plan to make a Mediterranean-themed cafe, it must be able to reflect the taste of the Mediterranean. If you have time, you can go to Crete and get some interesting ones. The third is to discuss with the store manager and do some activities to attract customers, not simply discounts, drinks and other activities, but activities with cultural taste, such as Mediterranean culture research, Mediterranean music day, Mediterranean The movie is playing, etc... Uh, Young Master Xue, did I talk too much?"

Xue Kongyan propped his elbows on the table, crossed his chin with his hands, and said with a very interested expression, "Go on."

Lei Ruo babbled a few more words, and finally said: "...after 'Coffee of Crete' becomes famous, we can start preparing for the second series of Mediterranean-themed cafes, or 'Coffee of Sicily', or 'Coffee of Athens'. ’, or ‘Barcelona Coffee’…”

Xue Kongyan asked: "Why not 'Madrid Coffee'?"

Lei Ruo smiled, "I like Barcelona."

"Okay, as you said, if 'Crete' is done well, we will drive 'Barcelona' next!" Xue Kongyan was ambitious.

Lei Ruo's eyes were bent, his expression had a hint of doting, he looked handsome and charming.

Xue Kongyan was stunned for a second, looked away, and said: "...I think we can also find the media to advertise."

Lei Ruo pondered.

Xue Kongyan used to be in the entertainment industry, he was always sought by the media. During the time when he was popular, magazines and TV stations asked him to do interviews, so there was no need to worry.However, dealing with the media as a business is different from dealing with celebrities and the media, and publicity costs are indispensable.

However, what Lei Ruo is worried about is that it has only been a year since Xue Kongyan jumped into the sea. If the media finds out that this store belongs to him, will there be any trouble?
