I Treat You as a Brother

After he finished speaking, he looked up tremblingly.

He Chengyi didn't say a word.The two looked at each other awkwardly in the silence.

"...I just want to annoy him," Zou Shun licked his lips, and he looked like he didn't know where to put his hands, and rubbed the hem of his clothes, "I didn't expect him to do it suddenly."

He Chengyi looked at him and nodded: "Is that so?"

He has a naturally friendly face, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised when he is expressionless.I opened a coffee shop a few years ago, and I always pay attention to keeping a smile when entertaining customers.Over time, I get used to it, and I always look smiling when I don't deliberately make expressions.

In the past, he was also evaluated as a spring breeze, but at the moment, it seems a little unpredictable.

Zou Shun became more and more nervous, pursed his lips, lowered his head, and remained silent.

Seeing how guilty he was with his tail clamped, even if He Chengyi had an opinion in his heart, he couldn't say it for a while.This kid's temperament is too pure. When he doesn't show his teeth and claws, he gives people the illusion of natural weakness. Even speaking loudly to him, it seems that he is bullying others.If he had shown such an expression when facing that young man just now, the other party must have no temper at all.

I don't know what attitude Zou Shun had towards them when they were still alive.

Although Zou Shun didn't admit it, He Chengyi still felt that these two must have had something.

Zou Shun couldn't hear a response for a long time, and suddenly took a deep breath.Then, he raised his hands, clapped them together in front of him, and lowered his head.

"I know I was wrong, please don't fire me!"

He Chengyi was taken aback, and he recovered after a while: "Uh..."

Zou Shun, who had lowered his head, heard the voice, raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at him secretly.It looks like a thief, but also quite cute.

"What do you mean when you know you're wrong?" He Chengyi asked.

"I shouldn't fight with people in the store," Zou Shun put down his hands, like a schoolboy being scolded by a teacher, "nor should... I shouldn't take advantage of you, the boss."

He Chengyi couldn't help laughing: "You still take advantage of me, your ex even laughed at you for having bad eyesight."

He considers himself ordinary-looking, and the owner of the cafe is not considered rich, and he is more than ten years older than the kid in front of him.It is estimated that Zou Shun was also in a hurry at the time, so he would tell such a lie that hurt the enemy eight hundred and self-damage one thousand.

"He's really not my ex!" Zou Shun emphasized loudly, "And what right does he have to laugh at, idiot. Boss, you are much more handsome than him!"

He Chengyi could see that Zou Shun did not want to be fired from the bottom of his heart.

At the time of the interview, he said that he had conflicts with his family, that he could not get any financial support from his parents, including tuition fees, and had to rely on himself for everything.The salary here is calculated by the hour, and the hourly salary is acceptable, and it is settled every Monday, which can save him in an emergency.If I lose my job, I'm afraid I won't even be able to afford food immediately.

He Chengyi couldn't do such a cruel thing.What's more, due to the relationship between geography and taste, there are many foreign customers in the store, so it is not easy to immediately recruit another work-study student who can speak English fluently.

"Okay," he smiled and shook his head at Zou Shun, who was fawning on his face, "Don't do this next time. If you encounter similar things in the future, just bear with it, or ask the store manager to help you deal with it, no matter what... ..."

"I'll go out and fight him first," Zou Shun said.

He Chengyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's best not to fight."

I thought that the matter of replacing the two damaged tables would be over, but I didn't want to cause a lot of trouble in the follow-up.He contacted the supplier, only to find out that the existing styles had been discontinued.The tables in the store don't use the same style, and the overall look is easy to mess up, which is not good-looking.If you want to change it, you have to change it together, which is a big project.

Before He Chengyi could finalize the final plan, he received another call from the store.

"Xiao Zou is on duty today, and that person came again last time," the store manager lowered his voice, speaking furtively, "still sitting in the same position."

He Chengyi was suddenly nervous: "It's fighting again?"

"No, he just sat there with a sullen face," said the store manager, "I didn't ask Xiao Zou to serve him."

He Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Is there any question?"

The store manager's tone was subtle, as if it was hard to say: "I see these two people... have flirtatious eyes. Wouldn't it be better for you to come over and take a look, boss?"

He Chengyi reacted for a while before realizing that the person on the other end of the phone was still misunderstood.The relationship is worried that my boss's little lover and old love will be cuckolded by his boss, so he came to vent the news.

"Xiao Zou and I have only met twice, so we are not familiar at all," he explained patiently, "We have never had any contact in private."

The store manager hesitated for a while and asked, "Then do you want to come and have a look?"

He Chengyi still went.

First, he was worried that Zou Shun would really "go out and fight again" as he said last time, and second, he stopped by to check whether there was room for repairs on the two tables, or whether he could find a way to replace them.

Anyway, not far away.

When he opened the store door, Zou Shun and the young man were sitting face to face, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

Hearing the bell ringing at the door, Zou Shun immediately stood up and shouted skillfully: "Welcome!...Ah, boss, are you here?"

The young man opposite him immediately turned around.

The scene was suddenly awkward.

After the young man glanced at He Chengyi, he turned his head with a look of disdain, and then said in a voice that could be heard clearly from around: "If you want to find a better one, you will be asked to pick up customers here. This kind of stingy Do you want all the stuff?"

He deliberately used insulting words, but Zou Shun was unmoved.He looked at the other party with a straight face, and said, "If you want a female ticket in broad daylight, you have to look for the place. This kind of business is not done here."

"If you don't do it here, you can just do it," the other party said, turning around and shouting at He Chengyi, "Boss, how much does he pay for an hour, shouldn't it be expensive?"

This hint was very obscene, but Zou Shun still didn't get angry, but smiled instead: "You ask what the hourly salary is for, and you only need half a minute."

The air was suddenly silent.

Seeing that the other party was about to turn into anger from embarrassment, He Chengyi walked over and waved at Zou Shun with a calm face.

"Xiao Zou, come here."

Zou Shun's expression became more honest in an instant, he nodded immediately, and trotted towards him.

"Hey, you're quite airy," came a strange voice from behind, "Are you teasing a dog?"

He Chengyi ignored him.

Just when the lounge door was closed, Zou Shun immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, he's here again...I..."

He Chengyi pulled up the chair for him: "Sit first."

Zou Shun sat down obediently, raised his head and looked at him nervously.

"It's not the way to go on like this," He Chengyi sat down in front of him, "What does this person do, does he have a serious job?"

"...I don't know." Zou Shun said.

He Chengyi frowned slightly, and repeated: "I don't know?"

"We really don't know each other very well," Zou Shun said, "We've only met a few times, and we haven't contacted each other in private."

This sounds quite familiar.

Since I am not familiar with him, and I know him once and for half a minute, it is not difficult to guess the relationship.Looking at the innocent face in front of him, He Chengyi was in disbelief.

"Why bother, just want to be happy for a while, and cause trouble all over," He Chengyi said earnestly, feeling old-fashioned, "Are you full? You are an adult, and you should consider the consequences when you do things."

"... Oh." Zou Shun nodded obediently.

He Chengyi still wanted to say a few words, so he resisted and went back.As long as Zou Shun still wants this job, he can't argue with him, he can only listen obediently.It's not decent to rely on yourself as the boss to guide the private life of employees.

"Oh," He Chengyi sighed with a wry smile, "It also caused me to be misunderstood."

He was really wronged.Letting a lover who is more than ten years younger than me and has no financial resources work as a waiter in his store to earn money, it sounds so shabby, it belongs to the category of being able to open a post on the Internet to pick up the best.It's embarrassing.

"I'm sorry," Zou Shun quickly apologized, "I will definitely explain it clearly when I see him next time."

"Do you still want to see him?" He Chengyi asked.

"I don't want to," Zou Shun said with a bitter face, "but if he still comes, then I..."

He Chengyi interrupted him: "I remember your school is in a university town, right?"

"Yes," Zou Shun nodded, "what?"

He Chengyi stood up, rummaged through the desk beside him, found a box of cards, took out a card and handed it to him: "Look, there are addresses of two other stores on it, are there any of you?" Is the transportation convenient?"

Zou Shun took the card in a daze, and then looked down at the words on it after a while.

"I don't know much about the public transportation in your place," He Chengyi said, "If there are other stores that make it easier for you to go back and forth, I'll transfer you there. If he comes again, he will say that you have resigned."

Zou Shun looked down at the card and kept silent.

"Is it not convenient?" He Chengyi asked.

"No..." Zou Shun lowered his head even lower, and raised his other hand to wipe his face with his sleeve, "Boss, you are too kind."

There was a faint nasal sound in his voice, which surprised He Chengyi for a moment, so he didn't respond.

"I thought I was going to be fired this time," Zou Shun sniffed hard, "Even my parents don't care about my life, why are you so nice?"

He Chengyi felt quite guilty at that moment.

He has been defamed.I feel troublesome and helpless. I feel headache because I can't be too unfeeling, and even think that I am very unlucky.

Zou Shun lowered his head, and wiped his cuff back and forth around his eyes: "Thank you, really, thank you so much."

He Chengyi turned around and took two tissues from the table, and handed them over: "Use this, it's clean."

After Zou Shun took it, he didn't wipe his tears, but blew his nose very hard.

He made an unpleasant noise, blew his nose red, and there were still wet tears on his cheeks. His whole face looked sloppy, and it was different from his usual clean appearance.

He Chengyi looked at it for a while, then lowered his head.There was a kid in front of him who was crying, but he snickered, he was really embarrassed to be found out.

This trouble is too cute, just memorize it.

Then he thought again, what kind of heartless parents are they who are willing to drive such a cute child out of the house.As he was passing by, he almost wanted to pick it up and take it home.

"This," Zou Shun wiped his face, and stuffed the card back, "The one above, is there Line [-] nearby?"

He Chengyi came back to his senses: "Yes. Convenient?"

"Well," Zou Shun raised his head and smiled at him, "Our school has a car that can change to Line [-]. It's very convenient."

"That's fine." He Chengyi turned his eyes away from him, "I'll go and make arrangements, and I'll tell you about the specific schedule in two days."

Zou Shun nodded vigorously: "Okay."

His voice was different from just now, serious but brisk, with the vigor and vitality unique to young people.

He Chengyi stood up: "I'll help you to see if that person is still there."

As soon as he walked to the door, Zou Shun suddenly called him: "Boss, do you still remember the one we talked about before..."

He Chengyi turned around: "Huh?"

"I said it during the interview," Zou Shun looked straight at him nervously, "Would it be possible that I won't be able to see you if I change stores? Will you still teach me how to make coffee?"

He Chengyi also looked at him, couldn't hold back, and smiled: "If you want to learn, I'll teach you."
