I Treat You as a Brother

According to He Chengyi's original plan, he should take a shower immediately after arriving home, then change into pajamas and have a good sleep.

He didn't sleep well last night. After getting up early in the morning, he drove for more than five hours, only resting for less than half an hour in the middle, and his brain was drowsy.

Just as the quilt was laid after taking a shower, the mobile phone rang, and the caller ID was the landline of the store.

He took a photo the day before yesterday, and he is going back to his hometown in the next few days. He is quite busy, so he won't be able to go there for the time being.The store manager has rich experience and is always reliable on weekdays.A few days ago, the store just recruited a new work-study student, and there is no shortage of manpower. It stands to reason that there should be no need to contact him specifically.

He Chengyi sat on the edge of the bed and pressed the answer button. Before he could make a sound, he heard the anxious voice of the always calm store manager.

"Boss! The store was smashed!"

He Chengyi was taken aback for a moment: "What?"

"The work-study student you recruited a few days ago got into a fight with a customer!" said the store manager.

Will recruit again, the superficial reason is to open two branches, do not have skills.In his bones, it was because he wanted to be lazy.

He Chengyi himself is not a person suitable for doing business.He has a slow temper, few words, and is good at being in a daze.At the beginning, I chose to open a coffee shop, largely on a whim.

He has a quirky penchant for coffee.Compared with drinking, I am more addicted to the aroma of coffee, and I am satisfied when I smell it.Ever since I was in college, I have been keen to make money for others.

Girls in school days are easily tempted by all kinds of strange snacks.His girlfriend at the time thought a boy who knew how to make handmade coffee was very attractive, so she fell in love with him.

After work, he bought various appliances at home little by little.Until I was eager to try to buy a dedicated roaster, but I had a conflict with my girlfriend.

The part that once touched her has become a kind of idleness after stepping into the society.

He Chengyi's train of thought went astray, and he felt that since this was the case, he could just treat it as a proper job, so he simply resigned and went to work as an apprentice in someone else's shop.His biggest distress at the time was that he wanted to open his own store and had a tight budget.

This problem was quickly resolved.He originally saved the money for holding the wedding, but he can't use it for the time being.Although the process is painful, the result is not bad.

After his small coffee shop opened, it lost money for a whole year and a half.Just as he was planning to pack up his bags and go back to find a job, a photo of an Internet celebrity suddenly became popular.

It took him several months to determine the coffee bean formula, the painstaking procedures, these parts that were once made fun of by people around him suddenly made sense.Most of the customers just come to check in and take pictures, but there are also many people who fall in love with this unique taste and become repeat customers.

At that time, a friend encouraged him, saying that when you make this career bigger and prove yourself, you will definitely be able to successfully get back your old love.The fact is that when he successfully opened two branches, the child of his ex-girlfriend could already walk.Her evaluation of him is still "a person who is not suitable for life".

But he belatedly realized that he hadn't brewed coffee for a guest himself for a long time.He was already a thorough boss, a manager.

It's boring to stay in the shop without having to make coffee for the guests himself, and he doesn't bother to go.

When the store manager suggested to him to recruit a work-study student, He Chengyi's subconscious thought was that it was best to find someone who knew nothing, so that he would have the opportunity to teach him personally and have a good time.

That young man He Chengyi only met once during the interview.

Work-study students are highly mobile, generally do not work for a long time, and do not require professionalism.The purpose of recruitment is only for the waiter who needs to order and check out, and does not require him to learn how to make coffee.During the interview, He Chengyi asked him if he was interested in these feelings and whether he wanted to learn, and he received an unexpected enthusiastic response.

He Chengyi was very satisfied and made a decision on the spot.He had a good impression of this kid. He thought he was smart, sweet-mouthed when he looked cute, and very lovable.

Unexpectedly, this innocent-looking kid has such a fiery personality, and within a week of going to work, he has already clashed with the guests and caused a big disturbance in the palace.

When He Chengyi rushed to the store, several parties had already been taken away by the police, leaving only a mess.

The store manager also followed, there was a closed sign at the door, and only one waitress was busy cleaning.

He Chengyi looked around and heaved a sigh of relief.The scene looked exaggerated, but not many things were actually destroyed.There were decorative vases on every table in the store, several of which were broken and crumbled to the floor.Seeing the waitress picking up the debris with her hands, he quickly stopped her, found her a pair of thick baking gloves, and told her to throw them away together when she was done using them.

He didn't have time to help, because he had to pull out the surveillance video and take it to the police station.Others have no permission and cannot see it.

The Public Security Bureau is very close, and it only takes 10 minutes to walk there.

As soon as he entered, he saw the store manager sitting in the corner and the work-student student who caused trouble.Both of them had stiff expressions, sitting with their heads bowed, the air pressure was extremely low, and they did not talk.After noticing him, the store manager immediately stood up, while the work-student student beside him was clung to the back of the chair with a guilty expression on his face.

Just as He Chengyi was about to speak, he stopped suddenly.

"Just him?" A strange voice came from not far behind, "Is this your appreciation level?"

He Chengyi turned around.The person who spoke was a young man in his 20s, dressed in a casual manner, and looked quite handsome.

While speaking, the man raised his hand, poking his fingertips in He Chengyi's direction.

"Ah?" He Chengyi was at a loss.

When he finally recalled that Zou Shun was the work-study student's name, the young man in front of him said something amazing again: "Is it better for him to fuck you than me to fuck you?"

Immediately, everyone in the hall turned their attention.

The man was still pointing at him, He Chengyi was forced to become the focus of the audience.He also raised his hand in hesitation, pointed at himself, and asked, "Me?"

Zou Shun, who was still leaning against the chair with a guilty face just now, suddenly jumped up and shouted at the man, "None of your business!"

"What are you doing?" Hearing the commotion, the police comrades on the side rushed over, "Why didn't you have enough just now and wanted to fight here?"

"This is our boss," the store manager said quickly, "He brought the surveillance video!"

He Chengyi asked him in a low voice: "What's going on?"

The store manager hesitated to speak, and the look in his eyes became strange.

He Chengyi looked in Zou Shun's direction again.The kid didn't dare to look at him at all, his eyes wandered, and there were two big characters of guilty conscience written on his face.

With monitoring, the event process is clear at a glance.

The young man and Zou Shun were obviously old acquaintances.Zou Shun took the menu and asked him to order, and the two were obviously taken aback when they met each other.After that, without knowing what he said, the young man gradually lost control of his emotions, and soon the two began to argue loudly, and then pushed and shoved.A few minutes later, without warning, the young man smashed the vase on the table.Zou Shunming was taken aback, but he didn't hesitate at all, so the battle escalated.

Fortunately, the table was lifted and the chairs were kicked, and no one was seriously injured when the frame was pulled.Judging from the monitoring, it was the young man who started the fight first, and Zou Shun was actively fighting.

The whole battle was very noisy, the damage was small, and it was not up to the penalty standard, so verbal criticism and education were enough.

The police asked He Chengyi the amount of the loss, and said that he could help negotiate compensation for the two fightrs.

He Chengyi hesitated for a moment, then said forget it.

He remembered that when Zou Shun came to the interview a few days ago, he told him pitifully that he came to work to earn living expenses.For He Chengyi, this number is not distressing, but for a college student who lost his family's financial support just after graduation, it is much heavier.As for the other party, he didn't bother to pester him any more.

After walking out of the Public Security Bureau, the fiery young man had calmed down a lot.But he was still not very friendly to He Chengyi who had just let him go.

"I'll see how long you can last," he said with a half-smile, "you just wait for this bitch to get a piece of your life."

Before He Chengyi could react, Zou Shun on the side cursed loudly: "I'm jealous of your mother——"

Before the last word came out, the police comrades ran out: "What are you doing?"

"It's all right," He Chengyi smiled awkwardly at the policeman, hugged Zou Shun who was still furious and walked quickly, "We're watching, the kids are just bickering."

Zou Shun staggered a few steps before he followed him, frowning and trying to speak, but glared at him and swallowed it back.Seeing this, the young man on the other side cursed softly, turned around and walked towards the other side of the road.

At the intersection, He Chengyi let go of his hand and asked, "What's going on?"

Seeing that Zou Shun lowered his head and said nothing, he turned his attention to the store manager again, only to realize that the store manager was a few steps away from them, not approaching them at all, his eyes flickering.

"I'm sorry," Zou Shun finally spoke at this time, his expression and tone were completely different from before, but he was as well-behaved as in the interview, and even a little more pitiful, "It's all my fault."

He Chengyi frowned and sighed: "Forget it, let's talk about it when we go back."

Back in the store, the floor has been cleaned and the tables and chairs have been put back.I hadn't noticed just now that there were a lot of bump marks on the sides of the two dark-colored tables, which looked ugly and obviously couldn't be used.

Zou Shun was extremely disturbed, with a bitter face, rubbing his hands in front of him constantly.

He Chengyi asked the store manager to help take stock of the losses, and then called Zou Shun to follow him into the lounge on the other side.

Just when the door was closed, Zou Shun immediately apologized: "Boss, I'm really sorry...I..."

He Chengyi suddenly wanted to laugh.Just now he was showing off his might, but now he looks like a good-looking baby.

"Sit first." He said.

Zou Shun pursed his lips and carefully sat opposite him: "Have I been fired?"

"Not necessarily," He Chengyi said, "I have a question, if it's not convenient for you to answer it, forget it."

"...What?" Zou Shun looked at him warily.

"Was that your ex-boyfriend just now?" He Chengyi asked.

No matter how dull you are, you can tell that the relationship between the two is not ordinary.From the analysis of their dialogue, it is very likely that the breakup was not very pleasant, and the other party mistakenly thought that Zou Shun was having an affair with him.

It's no wonder that the way the store manager looked at him changed.

"Bah!" Zou Shun, who was very well-behaved just now, became angry when he heard the words, "This madman is ruining my image everywhere!"

It seems that the inside story is quite complicated.It is quite curious to cooperate with the young man's speech.It's a pity that it's not convenient to ask too much about this kind of private matter due to the relationship between the two of them.

He Chengyi was more concerned about another point.

"He seems to have misunderstood me a little, huh?" he asked Zou Shun.

Zou Shun froze immediately.

In just 2 minutes after entering the door, the boy's emotions fluctuated greatly, as if he had changed his face.

"I'm sorry..." He lowered his eyes, drifting left and right, "Blame me, I was talking nonsense."

He Chengyi looked at him and motioned him to continue.

"The psychopath said he would tell everyone in the store that I was gay, so I couldn't work here," said Zou Shun.

"Then?"

"I was very angry, so I argued with him..." Zou Shun hesitated to speak.

"Ok?"

Zou Shun licked his lips: "I told him, 'If you have the guts, talk about it, anyway, the boss is my husband'."
