"Why do you want to transfer?" Shen Liangsi muttered while dialing the phone number of the owner of the coffee bookstore, thinking that after all, it was the previous employer, and if something happened at home, he wanted to transfer the bookstore he relied on for a living.

The phone was connected quickly, and before Shen Liangsi could speak, he asked urgently: "Do you want to ask the bookstore? If you are interested, we can talk about the price."

"Boss, I'm Xiao Shen."

The other side sighed obviously disappointed, and replied in a slightly cold tone: "It's Xiao Shen, I haven't informed you of many things lately, I'm not going to work in the coffee shop, you can go find another job, I'm really sorry."

"No, boss..."

Before Shen Liangsi finished speaking, he interrupted anxiously, "I know I still owe you some salary, but I'm in a bit of trouble recently, if you're not in a hurry, just wait."

"I think……"

There was a beeping sound from the phone, and Shen Liangsi looked at the phone in his hand, "What's wrong?"

Shen Liangsi was a little worried. Although his boss was harsh and calculating, he was not the kind of person who turned his face and refused to accept his account. He must have hidden secrets and difficulties when he hung up the phone in such a hurry. Shen Liang thought about it and dialed the phone back.

"Xiao Shen, I know it's difficult for you too. Give me a while. I'll pay you after I sell the bookstore. Just wait."

There was a tendency to hang up the phone again, Shen Liangsi hurriedly said: "I don't want a salary."

There was finally a easing over there, "Then you?"

"Even if I want to ask, why is this store transferred? Boss, have you encountered any difficulties, or do you have new plans?"

"Hey." The other side of the phone sighed heavily, as if to let out all the pressure in my heart, "Your sister-in-law gave birth, but the child has a congenital disease and needs a lot of medical expenses. It became a disaster for the whole family, the doctor said that the child might be lost, but I can’t let it go, I can’t give up even if there is a glimmer of hope, my savings are all gone, I can only sell the store.”

"That's it..." He understands this feeling too well, just like he did to his mother, knowing that it is a bottomless pit, knowing that even if the bottomless pit is filled, the lives of relatives may not be saved, that's it, I don't know why Sometimes the tragic fate will befall the originally happy family, Shen Liangsi choked up, "Then what can I do for you, I still have some money..."

"No, I've taken your wish. I don't know how much money you have. I don't know how difficult you are. You should keep your little money. If you want to help me, just ask me, you Do any of the surrounding friends want to take over the bookstore?" The boss knew that poor people like Shen Liangsi would not know friends who could take over the bookstore, but he was also desperate.

"Ok."

Shen Liangsi hung up the phone, and sat directly on the steps in front of the bookstore, with a sad face.Sitting next to him, Xiaoyao looked at the tears that kept rolling in Shen Liangsi's eyes, and asked worriedly: "What happened? Did that person bully you on the phone." Speaking of this, Xiaoyao was immediately very angry, " Where is that man? I'll take you to find him for revenge."

"Xiao Yao." Shen Liangsi quickly pulled him back, "No one bullies me."

"What's the matter?"

"It's my former boss. His child was sick at birth. I want to transfer the store. I'm just worried for him. They must have a very difficult life in the future."

Xiao Yao honestly sat back beside Shen Liangsi, although she didn't fully understand it, she probably understood it.

"The boss is actually nice to me, but unfortunately I can't help him at all. I still have some money, but I still have my mother..." Shen Liangsi took a deep breath, feeling a little guilty.He sighed again: "I don't know any friends who can help take over his store, but according to his situation, if he doesn't get the money as soon as possible, his children..."

Xiaoyao didn't focus on the fate of the boss, but fixed on the second half of the sentence, "Take over? Is it for sale?"

"correct."

"Then what's the use of buying it?"

"You can use this store to make money."

Xiao Yao rolled her eyes, thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "Then why don't you buy the shop, Ah Si? Is it very expensive?"

"You mean I buy it?"

"Yes, if you buy it, you will help your boss and earn money in the future?" Xiaoyao continued to half-understand, "A Si, if there is a bookstore, you can stop going to work. Ah, if you make money, don’t you worry about Auntie’s medical bills?”

"Yeah..." Shen Liangsi also began to think carefully about this issue. Last time Xiao Yi paid his debts and there was still a part of it left, and his mother's medical needs will be half a year later. If he uses this money to buy a coffee shop , if the business is done properly, you should be able to see the income in half a year, so the survival of your mother and yourself can still be guaranteed... Besides, if you buy it yourself, you can also help the boss, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

"Then let me ask first." Shen Liangsi decided to ask the price first.

Called the phone again, and there was a deep sense of powerlessness, "Xiao Shen, what's wrong?"

"Oh, I want to ask, how much is the transfer fee for the coffee bookstore?"

"?" The boss finally cheered up, "What's the matter? You have friends who are interested."

"No, it's me."

Obviously a little disappointed, "About 20, Xiao Shen, I need money urgently, so I gave such a low price, so I need to pay in cash directly, and I don't have time to wait for you to raise money."

"Then let's sign the contract today."

"!!!"

As if in a dream, Shen Liangsi signed a contract with his former boss in one afternoon, and Shen Liangsi became the boss in just one afternoon.

In the quiet evening, Shen Liangsi was sitting by the window, facing the slightly empty cafe and bookstore, his eyes swept over every corner of the room, still a little unbelievable.He was a waiter here more than a month ago, but now, this cafe and bookstore belongs to him.

All of a sudden he laughed.

Xiao Yao stood next to Shen Liangsi, looked at his cheap, silly and dumbfounded smile, and asked strangely, "What are you laughing at?"

"normal now."

"?" Xiaoyao said he didn't understand.

Without so many exclamations and explanations, Shen Liangsi felt that having his own storefront was different from working at Tang Yifei's. He felt at ease all of a sudden, and he seemed to be able to live a normal life like most people.

Of course, this is just how he feels right now.Xiaoyao broke his feelings with one sentence, "Then we will open tomorrow, then should we resign from your current boss now?"

"..." Shen Liangsi slid his throat vigorously, and after listening to Xiaoyao, a half-fool, he impulsively used his hard-earned savings to buy this cafe and bookstore. He only thought about a normal life, but forgot Think about how you will manage your business in the future.

Although I have been working here for a while, I am familiar with the operation method of this store and the source of customers, but I only know how to make coffee, find books and tidy up the house, so what should I do in the back kitchen?And the most important point is that he still has Tang Yifei's job.That's a contract!Regretting the high liquidated damages... Shen Liangsi rubbed his waist - it would not be enough to sell both kidneys.

Shen Liangsi regretted a little for his impulsiveness today.That little smile was also put away, and he held his forehead and began to think of a solution to the problem.You know, if you can't operate, the daily rent will also be a big loss.

The first step is to find a reliable pastry chef and waiter, and the second step is to coordinate the working hours with Tang Yifei.The third step is to come up with a better marketing method.

The most urgent thing is to solve the first step first, Shen Liangsi boarded the recruitment advertisement before the sunset.

Bringing Xiaoyao home, Shen Liangsi observed Xiaoyao, and there was no tendency to change back at all. Of course, every time he changed back, it was random and there was no sign. Shen Liangsi had a headache, and Xiaoyao would be fine if he stayed with him all night. , what about tomorrow, if he doesn't go back again, how suitable is it to stuff him tomorrow?

"Why do you keep looking at me?" Xiaoyao rubbed her face, he was happy that Ah Si put his eyes on himself, but his eyes were too strange and entangled.

"Ah, it's nothing." Shen Liangsi was extremely helpless, since he couldn't send him away, he could take a step and then asked, "Are you tired after running with me all day today?"

Xiao Yao shook her head, "I'm not tired." Only Xiao Yao could say that he wasn't tired. Every time after following Shen Liangsi, Zhou Yuting would feel sore all over his body, which was more tiring than his usual work, fitness and private work.

"I'll make something delicious for you when I get back."

"Okay!" As soon as I mentioned eating, I forgot everything.

Unexpectedly, there was already someone waiting at the door.

As soon as he went upstairs, Shen Liangsi saw Xu Che waiting at the door of his house in neat casual clothes. The afterglow of the setting sun hit him, making him warm and quiet. There was no trace of anxiety on his face, just like that Stand there firmly.

"You... When did you come?" Seeing him, Shen Liangsi was still quite surprised.

"Not long." With a gentle smile, Xu Che turned sideways to let out the door, and asked with concern, "Did you just get off work?"

"No, I'm on leave today." Shen Liangsi replied mechanically. Seeing Xu Che, he was still a little nervous. The hand holding the key was trembling, and it took him a long time to insert it into the lock.

"Is that so." Xu Che didn't ask any further questions, but just waited patiently.

After entering the house, Xiao Yao acted like a hostess, pulling out a chair the moment Xu Che was about to sit on the bed, "Sit down."

Xu Che frowned slightly, smiled, thanked him, and obediently sat down on the chair.He didn't fully understand the relationship between this man and Shen Liangsi, but he could feel his possessiveness towards Shen Liangsi, but Xu Che was not in a hurry and was very patient.Perhaps it was because he was confident enough to clear all obstacles between him and Shen Liangsi.

Shen Liangsi looked at Xiaoyao's series of actions, and wanted to laugh a little. It wasn't Zhou Yuting's Xiaoyao, who simply looked like a child, but this child was also growing up slowly, and he was also careful.
