Dessert War [Ancient and Modern]

in.

In the courtroom, when the dust settled, Shen Lie didn't pay too much attention to what the judge was reading, but kept staring at Tang Yu who was standing in the auditorium.These days, day and night, the torment of anxiety made the child's face look thinner, making him feel extremely distressed.I can't bear to part with him, and I can't bear to make him sad.However, although the distance between the two is so close, they are also so far apart, even if they want to hug him, they can't.

Tangyu was also looking at him, trying to smile at him, trying to convey some comfort.I didn't want to cry in front of him, and I didn't want him to worry about me, but when I saw the man's eyes full of apology, and the moment he mouthed "I'm sorry" to himself, tears still filled his eyes.

In these gloomy days, the only good news is that Qi Chang'an's father used some of his connections in the judicial network to get Shen Lie to be imprisoned in a prison with the best conditions and environment in S City.The prisoners here are all criminals with short sentences. The most important thing is that the warden here is an old classmate of Qi's father. Shen Lie will serve his sentence here, so he will naturally receive some extra care.

Although the relationship between Tangyu and Qi Changan has not been good, when Qi Changan came to tell him these things, Tangyu was still very grateful to the Qi family.

"Don't cry all the time, cheer up! Shen Lie, please ask me to take care of you..." After leaving the court, Qi Changan put on a cigarette again, cast a sidelong glance at Tangyu, and said in a lukewarm manner : "If after six months, you are as thin as a plucked chick, he said he will settle the score with me after autumn."

"Who is crying! Which eye of yours saw me crying!" Just because of Qi's father's help, Tang Yu was unhappy with Qi Chang'an and could only swallow it back. He couldn't help but choked again: "I don't need you to take care of me, I can take care of myself."

"Then I trouble you to take good care of yourself. Don't let Shen Lie feel uneasy inside and miss you." After finishing speaking, Qi Changan pointed to his car in the parking lot with his thumb, and said with a cigarette in his mouth: "Go, I'll take you home first."

Tangyu didn't talk nonsense with him, and said directly, "Officer Qi, please send me to the Black Swan."

This surprised Qi Chang'an a little. He thought that a tender and delicate boy would be devastated when he encountered such a big event, and would stay at home all day crying and weeping. Who knew that he had such a strong side.When he opened the car door, Qi Changan glanced at him again. Under the winter sun, the silent boy's lips were tightly pressed together, and he actually outlined a somewhat resolute curve.

For such a moment, some inexplicable factors flashed in Qi Changan's mind, and he couldn't explain clearly.But when he thought that the boy might suffer from schizophrenia, he still sighed softly in his heart.Although the Tang Yu in front of me is thousands of times better than the Tang Yu before, it is not a good match for Shen Lie after all. There are many potential factors that will affect the future happiness of this couple to a greater or lesser extent.

From the moment Tang Yu walked out of the court, he made a decision that he should not only take care of himself, but also take care of the black swan.The black swan has been Shen Lie's painstaking effort in the past few years. He couldn't let Shen Lie see the business situation of the store in a mess when he was released from prison.

However, he had just stepped into Xiamen, the black swan, and unexpectedly met Shanghai Zhongting.

"Why are you here?" Tangyu's mood was already bad enough at the moment, and she really didn't want to spend any more time dealing with this person she had never liked.

Facing Tang Yu's hostility, Zhong Ting didn't care, and just explained with a smile: "Two days ago, Shen Lie asked me to help him find a financial director—"

Tang Yu knew about this, Shen Lie had mentioned it in front of him.However, after looking around, it seems that Hai Zhongting came alone. Could it be that he didn't find a suitable candidate?But it's no wonder that now that the bosses of the company are in jail, no one is willing to come, which is also human nature.

Zhongting saw Tangyu's doubts, and said sincerely: "Xiaoyu, I originally planned to introduce someone, but now that something happened to Shen Lie, I think it's better for me to replace the black swan in the past few months." Financial work, otherwise, I can’t rest assured no matter who comes.”

Naturally, Tang Yu was not very happy to work with him, but he also understood that, indeed, as Zhong Ting said, in this kind of time of trouble, there is really no one who is more reassuring than Hai Zhongting to take over the company financial work.

For this reason, Tang Yu still put aside those personal grievances, stretched out her hand to this former rival in love, and said frankly: "Zhong Ting, thank you for coming to help in person. I was still worried that I could only make dim sum. I don't know anything about store management and management, so I ask you to take the trouble to teach me during the few months when Shen Lie is away."

Zhong Ting stretched out his hand and shook him lightly, which could be regarded as a smile to wipe away the grievances.

So the two young people put aside their past suspicions for the time being, and joined hands to provoke this important task.

Hai Zhongting is a student of finance and accounting, and he is comfortable taking over the financial management of Black Swan, but he is also a layman in the management of chain stores.In this regard, he could only give some suggestions to Tangyu. Most of the time, he had to rely on Tangyu to figure it out on her own.

She has been busy all day in a mess, but Tangyu felt like a chicken without a head, until the shop closed, she didn't know what she was busy with that day.He couldn't help thinking how simple and happy it would be if he only needed to make desserts, but he couldn't escape, for the black swan, for Shen Lie, and for himself, he had to persevere.

Tired and depressed, he returned to the empty home, turned on the light, and the kitten flew towards him, meowing in his arms.

"Are you hungry?"

Tangyu rubbed the kitten's soft head pitifully, quickly fed him, cleaned up the cat litter in the cat toilet, and then took a break to warm up a glass of milk for herself.

Looking around, the home is still the same, and the heating is turned on enough, but standing alone on the floor of the staircase corridor, there is still a cold feeling from the soles of the feet to the heart.

Obviously, in the previous year, I lived alone. Obviously, I should be used to the life of such a person, and even in other places that cannot be called home, I can live peacefully.Why is it so uncomfortable this time?so weak?

Slowly walking towards his bedroom alone, the overhead light on the stairs elongated his lonely figure.In the bedroom, he didn't turn on the lights, but let the darkness of the night envelop him.Next to my ears is the ticking of the clock in the bedroom. Although the flow of each second is so clear, it is also extremely slow and ruthless.

It's only been a few days apart, but it seems like a whole winter has passed. My heart is covered with a thick layer of snow, and the coolness is still slowly spreading in my blood. It's so cold that I want people to find a warm embrace, but it's , can't find it everywhere.

Tangyu stood quietly in front of the French windows. The neon lights outside the window were extraordinarily colorful because of the approach of Christmas, but the night was falling with the stars all over the sky, sinking endlessly.

As if a song sounded from somewhere:

Without your company, how lonely I am now...

Putting his hand on the cold glass window, he looked in the direction of that person.

At this moment, there is nothing to hide from vulnerability.

60. Independently operate the black swan

I didn't sleep well all night, and woke up the next morning with a dizzy head.Although it was past six o'clock, the sun rose late in winter, and the room was still dark.Tangyu reached out from under the quilt and fumbled to turn off the alarm on the phone, but unexpectedly found that several short messages and emails had flashed on the main interface of the phone.

I rubbed my eyes and opened it to see, but they were all concerned text messages from familiar friends, such as uncle, Payson, Allen, seniors in the European food circle, friends I met in the competition, and even the former Holy Land Ann's colleague.

Most of the people heard about Shen Lie's accident and that Tang Yu was taking over the Black Swan, so they specially sent messages or emails to support him.Payson was not angry when Tangyu broke the contract and left after only a month of working in his restaurant, but expressed his understanding tolerantly.In the condolence email, he even promised that if Tangyu's store had any problems with food supply or management, he could still ask him for help.

And the uncle is very concerned about him, after all, Shen Lie is his favorite student, and Tang Yu is his favorite rising star, such an accident happened, so far away in a foreign country, he is very worried.In the email, he seemed to expect that Tangyu would be at a loss or even panicked because of taking over the black swan, so he specially wrote such a paragraph:

Sweetheart, in my impression, you are a child with a strong heart. Don't be afraid of the difficulties you can see. Think about the meaning of the existence of black swans.Everything you do serves one purpose: to bring the best desserts to your customers.And that's clearly what you're best at, isn't it?No matter how many troubles you will face in the future, as long as your belief remains the same as before, I firmly believe that you will succeed!

The letters from my uncle and Payson, as well as the condolences from my friends, are like the sun starting to rise outside the window. The bright and warm light tears away the darkness in front of me and brings vitality.Tangyu opened the curtains, staring at the red sun rising on the distant horizon, suddenly felt brave, powerful, and confident, and returned to herself with the golden light.

Uncle Nai is right, even if I don’t know much about store management, but in the final analysis, the ultimate goal of Black Swan as a dessert shop is to make the best desserts for customers, and as long as I keep this in mind, I will Must be able to get things done.

While Tangyu was cheering himself up, he suddenly remembered the relationship between Shen Lie and Shen Lie.
