Your brother will take you to lie down and win

"Are you going to basketball class?"

"Meet the guy from the basketball team?"

"Added WeChat to make an appointment to play ball?"

"Still joined Jiang Lanxin's club?"

The first week of life swapping is over, and on Friday night, the brothers sit down to talk about the week.

When he heard what Feng Rui had done at school these five days, Feng Shuwen was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Yes, my brother.

It was Feng Shuwen's turn.

The little boy took out a notebook, and in the posture of reporting, ppt and excel took turns——

"I followed my fat brother to get a general understanding of my Lao Feng's real estate."

Two words: really fragrant.

"From the urban area to the suburbs, from old houses to luxury houses, as well as shops and office buildings, there are no houses that our family does not have."

"On this basis, I looked forward to my future a little bit: When I change back later, even if I can only get a junior college, as long as my brother keeps my real estate, there is a high probability that I will not be too bad."

"Of course, it's not my heart to fool around."

"Inspired by so many properties! I! Decided to make a scientific statistics for our houses."

As the notebook was held in front of Feng Rui, the ppt flashed page by page, Feng Shuwen: "This time I mainly counted the total number of shops and commercial houses in our family, the division of regions, the rent of each house for the past three years, the price of the house, etc. Vacancy, maintenance status, and turnover.”

"And which of these houses often change tenants, which houses have tenants who have been renting for a longer period of time, and which houses have been vacant for the longest time."

"Including which area and which community has the most frequent repair calls from tenants, I also made a statistics."

"I also made a histogram comparison of the cash flows created by these communities."

……

Feng Rui looked at the ppt and excel statistics table made by Feng Shuwen, and the corners of his lips gradually curved into an arc.

He didn't say a word. Actually, he didn't need these statistics. He could know all the twists and turns here with his brain alone. After all, the house for so many years was not white-pipe. Compared with young children who like to use electronic tools, he is better at using them. brain.

But watching my younger brother take care of the house for only a week, he came up with his own thoughts and experience, especially when he thought of Feng Shuwen running around the house during the day and coming back to study with him and do homework at night. These forms must have been made by going back to the bedroom and staying up late at night. , Feng Rui felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

When he was happy, he ignored a few mistakes on the statistical table and patted Feng Shuwen's head: "Good job."

Feng Shuwen was praised, and he was a little embarrassed, so he also praised Feng Rui in turn: "Brother, you are amazing, even if I beat you to death, I would never have thought that you would even get the olive branch thrown by our goddess Yuren."

It's okay not to say anything, as soon as Feng Rui mentioned this, he raised his eyelids and took a look at Feng Shuwen.

Olive branch?Are you sure that's an olive branch, not a stepping stone on the business map of a strong woman?

That's what boys your age would take for granted.

After boasting, Feng Shuwen asked Feng Rui: "Brother, what are your plans for the weekend?"

Feng Rui: Working as a child laborer in a coffee shop.

Feng Shuwen thought to himself: "I'm going to visit Sister Yanzi's store tomorrow."

—

Zhou Yan, female, 28 years old, the female owner of a coffee shop near the CBD in the urban area.

There are rumors in the world that she was the concubine of the boss Feng Ruifeng in the early years, and she was able to make a lot of money by renting the store in the CBD at a super low price for so many years.

There was also gossip that Feng Shuwen was actually not Feng Rui's younger brother, but the son of Feng Rui and Zhou Yan.

Feng Shuwen: I can go to your place.

Others don't know, how could Feng Shuwen not know, a woman like Sister Yanzi doesn't like his brother at all, she doesn't like men at all.

On Saturdays, people come and go in the CBD. The coffee shop is booming and has a large passenger flow. The people who come in and out of the shop are white-collar workers and gold-collar workers from nearby commercial buildings.

Feng Shuwen walked around this coffee shop with an area of ​​several hundred square meters with Feng Rui's face on his face. Zhou Yan was not there, and the clerks all knew the face of "Feng Rui". wander around.

Feng Shuwen didn't come here for anything, and he didn't come to drink coffee. After knowing the monthly rent of this coffee shop, he wondered how his brother would rent it to Sister Yanzi at such a low price?

Feng Shuwen: Don't really have an affair, right?

—

"LAN" coffee shop.

The store was purposely closed for one day, and it was used to provide on-the-job training for more than a dozen members of the coffee club.

Jiang Lan was absent, the store manager and two other full-time shop assistants were in charge of the entire training.

It is not difficult to make coffee, because they are all made by fully automatic machines. You only need to know how to froth the milk and which flavor of syrup to put in the coffee.

The only difficult thing for these students is probably how to let go of the face of the proud son of heaven and become a qualified coffee shop employee.

And how to quickly master the entire operation process.

And when the club members went to operate behind the bar one by one, everyone was surprised to find that "Feng Shuwen" got started very quickly, from placing an order to marking the flavor in the cup to making the machine, there was no rust or pause. Even the actions of covering the cup and wiping the body of the cup with a cloth towel are very proficient, but the brain seems to rely entirely on the feel of the hand.

The store manager couldn't help asking him: "Have you done it before?"

Feng Rui: "There are relatives and friends who open a coffee shop at home, and I went to help."

Everyone: No wonder.

Huo Lingran bent his lips beside him.

The next club member entered the bar to make coffee, Feng Rui walked back to Huo Lingran, seeing him smiling like that, he glanced over.

Huo Lingran looked at him, and said in a low voice, "I know your brother went to help sister Zhou Yan's shop."

Feng Rui was surprised. It was no secret that he helped Zhou Yan, but it had happened many, many years ago.

How could Huo Lingran know?

As if answering Feng Rui's doubts, Huo Lingran followed suit: "The earliest coffee shop is near the neighborhood where I live, and I just pass by after school."

After passing by, they would look inside through the floor-to-ceiling glass for a while, and see Feng Rui busy behind the bar wearing a dark coffee apron.

The proprietress of the coffee shop, Zhou Yan, lived downstairs with Huo Lingran and his grandparents at that time. Grandma Huo was kind-hearted. Seeing the young girl living alone and not knowing how to cook, she often asked her to come upstairs for dinner.

During meals, Zhou Yan often chatted about Feng Rui.

Said that Feng Ruiren is very nice, obviously he is the landlord, and he was not considered friends with her at the beginning, seeing that she couldn't pay the rent because of the difficulty in business, and she cried heartbreakingly a few times, and her heart softened when she cried. She came to the store to help, and her rent was extended for two months.

Inside and outside: Boss Feng is too kind.

No one knows that Huo Lingran's growth process is to understand Feng Rui's "kindness" through personal experience, hearing, and seeing. These kindness features calmly resolved his feelings about the world that he had developed when he was abandoned by his mother when he was young. He seems to have regained a trustworthy and reliable "parent", who is setting an example to show him how to embrace life with the correct posture.

Huo Lingran even remembered that he went out of his house at nine o'clock in the evening to go to a coffee shop, wanting to see people.

Standing on the opposite side of the street not too far away from the shop, he saw Feng Rui closed the shop door, stood at the shop door and lit a cigarette, after lighting the cigarette, he got on the bicycle, carefree and wobbly He rode away with his legs crossed, humming a song.

Huo Lingran remembered this down-to-earth look of loving life for a long time.

So when he saw Feng Rui standing behind the bar making coffee, Huo Lingran subconsciously remembered the past and instinctively wanted to laugh.

When it was his turn to make coffee, he specially mixed a cup of coffee with half espresso, half cup of milk, and half a small packet of sugar.

He didn't drink this cup of coffee by himself, nor did he put it on the bar like some students did, but gave it to Feng Rui.

for him?

Feng Rui took it, a little surprised.

After taking a sip, it was even more surprising that it tasted like he used to drink.

Feng Rui couldn't help turning his head to look at Huo Lingran, Huo Lingran asked him: "How is it?"

Feng Rui didn't think much, nodded: "It's delicious."

Huo Lingran had a smile on his lips.

However, Huo Lingran couldn't laugh anymore when the duty teams were discussing the marketing strategies of each group on duty separately——

[Buy a minimum of two cups of coffee, Huo Lingran personally fills the cups and delivers them to the table]

Feng Rui: "You can also ask them to leave their names on the paper cups when they place an order. When the coffee is ready, you tell them their names and let them come to the bar to get them."

Huo Lingran personally served!Say your name!Monday nights only from [-]:[-]pm to [-]:[-]pm!If you miss it, you have to wait another week!Girls, what are you waiting for?Buy, buy coffee, buy buy buy!

"..."

Huo Lingran was speechless: "I'm the one that comes with coffee?"

How can you say that?

Feng Rui twirled the pen in his hand: "This is called 'make the best use of people'."

Huo Lingran asked him: "I use it this way, how do you use it?"

Feng Rui pointed to the coffee machine on the bar: "I'm fast, and I'm in charge of making coffee."

Huo Lingran looked unhappy.

Dare Jiang Lan want to "use" them, Feng Rui came to "use" him again, and finally he became the bottom of the "exploited"?

Huo Lingran looked at Feng Rui in front of him, and thought to himself that this was Feng Rui, if it was someone else, he would have to turn his back on the spot.

So when he got home that day, Huo Lingran was somewhat depressed.

He thought that Feng Rui was going to this high school for Feng Shuwen, turning around his younger brother's not-so-optimistic situation in school, taking basketball lessons and joining clubs for this purpose.

What could he be in Feng Rui's eyes?

Count as a "tool man" for the purpose of achieving turnover and club performance?

Fortunately, Huo Lingran adjusted his mentality very quickly, not to mention that he was willing to be a "tool man" for Feng Rui's sake, even if he didn't want to, he had the right to consider it as helping Feng Rui complete the turnover and earn club grades to repay him as the landlord brother for so many years care for their grandchildren.

As a result, on Tuesday, the first day on duty, Huo Lingran soon discovered that he had made a mistake, Feng Rui didn't regard him as a "tool man" at all——

At the coffee shop on Tuesday night, Huo Lingran had just pushed the door open and entered, when he saw Feng Rui, who had already changed into an apron, bringing two cups of coffee to a low table with a smile on his face.

There were two girls sitting at the low table, one of them was taking a picture of him with a mobile phone, and the other was talking to him with a happy face.

Feng Ruichong glanced at the girl he was taking pictures of, and didn't refuse, nor did he show any resistance. He turned his gaze to listen to another girl.

The girl didn't know what to say, Feng Rui listened carefully the whole time, and after the girl finished speaking, she replied with a simple smile.

After a while, the girl who was holding up her mobile phone to take pictures also joined the conversation. Feng Rui always listened more than he talked, and was patient and gentle. Finally, when the chat was over, Feng Rui nodded at the two girls and turned back to the bar. The two girls covered their mouths They looked at each other and snickered, looking happy.

And Feng Rui, who walked back to the bar, had a bright and clear expression, and looked serious about his work.

Someone walked to the glass freezer to look at the cakes and cold food, and he took the initiative to ask what he wanted to eat, and then took the initiative to introduce which cakes were on sale today and which cold food tasted lighter.

The full-time clerk made two cups of coffee, Feng Rui asked the girl in front of the refrigerator to choose first, took the coffee, wiped the cup with a dry cloth, put on the anti-scald cup sleeve, glanced at the name on the cup, lifted Scanning eyes: "Student Zhang Qinya, your latte is ready."

The girl named Zhang Qinya got up from her seat and ran to the bar. With a smile on her face, Feng Rui handed her the coffee: "Just made it, be careful not to burn it."

Near the door, a few girls at a table were also watching like Huo Lingran. After watching, they became excited and stomped their feet secretly: "You are so handsome, you are so handsome!"

The remaining sulk in Huo Lingran's heart suddenly dissipated.

He thought about what emotions he had before, what narrow-mindedness he poked.

So where is he "using" him?

Hasn't his Brother Feng Rui been facing life in the most down-to-earth and serious way?

Huo Lingran walked towards the bar with her bag on one shoulder.

Feng Rui continued to entertain the girls in front of the refrigerator, raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows when he saw him.

Huo Lingran threw the bag into the bar, took the apron handed to him by the full-time clerk, and served the girl for Feng Rui.

"Hi, what would you like to eat?"

The girls of Yuren in the coffee shop: "!!!"

Huo Lingran! !It's Huo Lingran! ! !

On the same day, Yuren BBS and various private WeChat groups circulated such a few messages——

"The coffee shop called 'LAN' in the commercial street is really run by our school coffee club! Huo Lingran is on duty there on Tuesday night! Huo Lingran!"

"Everyone, go to 'LAN'! On Tuesday night, from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], if you buy a cup of coffee, Huo Lingran can read your name by himself! There is another handsome guy who will bring you coffee to chat with you and smile at you!"

"I bought six cups of coffee today, and Huo Lingran called me by my name N times! He even gave me a cup for free! Rounding up is that Huo Lingran invited me to drink coffee!"

"I wanted to study in a coffee shop today, but I watched handsome guys for two hours! I'm guilty, but I'm happy!"

"Is it Tuesday? I'm definitely going next week!"

The coffee shop closes at ten o'clock in the evening.

Huo Lingran was taking off his apron, Feng Rui had already tidied it up and walked out of the bar.

Huo Lingran thought that Feng Rui just left, turned around, but saw Feng Rui standing behind the bar, took out a boxed sandwich from the freezer, put it on the bar, and pushed it over.

Feng Rui smiled: "Take it back for supper, I paid for it before."

Across the bar, Huo Lingran looked at Feng Rui, looked at the sandwiches, and his heart started beating fast.

Feng Rui waved his hand at him, signaling, "Let's go."

Huo Lingran took the sandwich and opened the bar counter to catch up.

They didn't go the same way, but they could still talk for a few minutes on the road from the coffee shop door to the bus stop.

Huo Lingran: "Buy five coffees next week and get one free. I'll place an order and write my name." It's like getting an extra autograph from him.

Feng Rui laughed, and raised his hand to press Huo Lingran's left shoulder: "Six cups of coffee? You are more ruthless than me."

Not long after, on the bus, Huo Lingran was sitting with his right hand on his left shoulder the whole time, and the tips of his ears were red.

The bus driver looked at him in the rearview mirror: "Young man, is your shoulder okay?"

Huo Lingran: It's okay.

Just a little hot.
