My 26-year-old Female Tenant

Leaving the teahouse where I met Fang Yuan just now, I drove towards the "Empty City" music restaurant in the deep night. When I arrived, the diners had almost dispersed, and only a few tables were still drinking beer and eating. The spicy hot pot is so hot that the air loses its original taste.

Up to this point, I hadn’t had dinner yet, so I asked the waiter for an egg fried rice and two cold dishes. While waiting, I drank water and listened to the female singer singing on the stage, but I always thought of her Cheng cc, because she is really used to the way cc sings here, the gesture of her holding the cigarette between her fingers and playing the guitar is so deeply rooted in people's hearts!

  During the meal, I called the manager of the restaurant. I was afraid to touch her nerves too much, so I politely asked: "Yiqing (name of the manager), how was the restaurant's business situation last month?"

  The store manager looked at me with some puzzlement, and said, "Mr. Zhao, we have reported last month's business data to the head office a week ago, didn't you read it?"

   "I saw it, but this data makes me a little hard to accept. You must know that this restaurant was still profitable half a year ago, but it has lost so much in the blink of an eye!"

  The store manager’s expression became gloomy, and after a long silence, he asked me: “Then what do you mean, Mr. Zhao? Do you want to carry out rectification, or give up this restaurant?”

   "I hope that other individuals or units will take over this restaurant."

As soon as I finished saying this, the store manager had tears in her eyes, and she choked up and said, "A few days ago, a few shop assistants told me that the restaurant suffered such a huge loss last month, and the company will definitely take measures. I also comforted them that the head office has a very clear positioning for this restaurant. What they want is spiritual characteristics, and profit comes second. Mr. Zhao will definitely keep this restaurant. I didn't expect...you still give up so easily It's gone, is the head office so short of funds right now, you have to give up the empty city!"

I looked at her, even though I knew in my heart that this was just a fake abandonment, but my employees cherished this restaurant so much, which made me feel a little guilty, but since it had already started, the drama had to go on, so I replied : "Even if the empty city is finally transferred, the head office will properly accommodate you and give you better jobs, because I have always affirmed your jobs, but there is a problem with the business model of this restaurant..."

The store manager interrupted me and said: "Mr. Zhao, do you think we are working in this empty city for the purpose of being able to enter the head office and make a fortune in the future? ... Tell you, I am willing to work in this empty city Brothers and sisters who work part-time are all living with faith. For example, Brother Sun Yao, he has been working as a chef in a restaurant since the beginning of Sister cc’s operation. It’s not that there are no other restaurants offering high salaries to lure him away these years, but he has been sticking to it In this restaurant, tell me, what is he doing for it?...Is it for the so-called promotion and salary increase?...No, no, it's Miss cc's personality that keeps him He, and the feelings expressed in the empty city... Maybe, in Mr. Zhao's eyes, it is just a profit-making tool, but in our eyes, it is a city with flesh and blood, and spring, summer, autumn and winter.... ..”

  Her words infected me, and I was speechless for a long time...

   "Mr. Zhao, you have really changed. If sister cc knows that you plan to give up this restaurant, she will definitely be sad and scold you. You are sorry for her entrustment."

   "I have already communicated with cc about the transfer of the restaurant, and I decided to give up the restaurant only after I got her consent."

  The store manager looked at me sobbing, his faith seemed to be collapsing, so he didn't say a word!

I sighed and said, "Maybe I've changed... But Yiqing, I want to tell you: Behind human nature is a white cloud and a dog. There is no one in this world who remains the same, including the people in the empty city. You who put your faith in it, one day, when you form a family and face the cruelty of this society, you will understand deeply."

The store manager ignored me and lay on the dining table crying, but Robben came to the restaurant at some point. He sat down beside me, picked up the red plum cigarette I put on the table, and lit a cigarette. The supporter said: "You have taken the drug of pretense, you even said that the backside of human nature is Bai Yuncanggou!"

In fact, after saying this sentence, my heart was also full of depression, because this seemingly pretentious sentence contained sadness similar to the passage of time, changing things, and the iron heart corroded in the society of fame and fortune. I have truly experienced the helplessness of this. For this reason, I once gave up my favorite music and went to work in accordance with the rules.

   Robben looked at Yiqing who was lying on the opposite side of me crying, and asked me: "Why is she crying?... Are you scolding other girls again?"

  I looked at Robben, and after a while of silence, I said: "...I plan to transfer the empty city, and the losses during this period are too serious!"

   Robben's eyes instantly became as sharp as a sharp knife, he stabbed at me, and said, "I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again."

The store manager seemed to be full of resentment towards me, and Robben, who reacted violently, seemed to be her life-saving straw. He raised his head and wiped away his tears, and said to Robben instead of me: "Mr. inside."

Robben pinched out the cigarette with his fingers fiercely, looked at me with a cloudy expression, and suddenly grabbed my neck and said: "You idiot... Who the **** agreed to you doing this, what a shame! This restaurant is your own?!"

I couldn't breathe, kicked Robben's chair over, and waved him away at the same time. The two kept a distance of one meter. Robben squinted his eyes at me and said, "Zhaoyang, you Tell me clearly today, why do you want to transfer this restaurant?... You Luku has always been rich and powerful, will you be short of the little money that the city lost?"

"Luku is not mine alone, I have to be responsible to the investors...I originally wanted to keep the empty city, but both the investor and the company's senior management thought that the empty city would have a negative impact on other restaurants. , so I decided to force the transfer, I can't go against the will of the collective to protect this restaurant!"

   "Transfer your uncle, just shut it down!"

The dispute between me and Robben immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant, and at the same time made the drama more real, so that the customers who hadn't left accused me one after another, and they didn't lack some rational advice. If the restaurant continues to operate, they are willing to pay the consumption expenses incurred in the empty city according to the market price or even more.

  I said to everyone: "Since everyone is willing to pay for the consumption in the empty city according to the market price, then after the transfer, change the charging model and clearly mark the price, and everyone can come and consume in the same way!"

Most of the people who come here to eat have the characteristics of literary youth and angry youth, and immediately a voice full of disdain replied: "We come to eat in the empty city, what we like is the feeling of trust between people, and then what is the price tag? It's an insult to this restaurant, it might as well close it!"

I focused on this group of people who often come to the empty city, trying to find a clue in their indignation, so as to identify a suspect first, but I feel that anyone is possible, and this is not something that can be done only by suspicion The matter still needs to be further advanced, so he gritted his teeth and took out the planned closing document with the company seal from his briefcase, handed it to the store manager Yiqing, and said, "You post this closing document Come out, the restaurant is either closed or transferred, it is impossible to continue operating in the current state... I want to keep this restaurant from the bottom of my heart, but the overall situation of the company is more important."

My determination silenced everyone, and finally someone took the lead and said: "It seems that our fate with this restaurant is here. I have eaten here all these years, whether I have money or not, and I have taken advantage of it. It’s the last night, everyone, show some humanity, leave all the cash on your body, and commemorate this restaurant that gave us our faith but is about to close down!”

Everyone looked at each other, then took out their wallets from their pockets, one thousand, two thousand, five hundred, two hundred, and put them on the dining table one after another. The empty city and the loss of belief, so much so that even I believe that the "empty city" is really going to close down in this cruel reality, and there are waves of sadness in my heart...
