Luo Rui's store has been open for a full month, and the business in the first month was particularly buoyant. He and the shop assistants were so busy that they were dizzy. When the accounts were settled at the end of the month, the net profit was more than 30,000, which made him almost fly with joy.
Wen Xiaohui looked at him with his chin propped up: "Your bills haven't been fully settled yet, and don't forget that you spent more than 700,000 yuan on renovations."
"Don't spoil the fun, okay? According to this trend, it won't take long for me to earn back the decoration money."
"Generally, the business of new stores is better. If there is a sense of novelty, the popularity will drop in the future."
"What are you doing today? You always talk about frustration." Luo Rui rolled his eyes at him, "People are also listless. Isn't it always your goal to study abroad? I thought you would be very excited."
"I'm very excited." Wen Xiaohui didn't move, his expression was like a dead fish.
"How can you tell that you're excited!" Luo Rui couldn't take it anymore, and rubbed his hair vigorously, "What's the matter with you! You look tired every day, and if you don't know, you might think you're pregnant."
"Damn, do I have that organ?" Wen Xiaohu looked at Luo Rui, wanting to pour out all the depression in his heart, but after thinking about agreeing to Xueli, he had no choice but to swallow it in frustration.
Luo Rui crossed his chest and looked at him: "Do you have something you want to tell me?"
"Yes, but I promise to keep it secret."
"Is it related to Luo Yi?"
"how do you know?"
"Besides Luo Yi, who else can make you so troubled."
Wen Xiaohui smiled wryly, and sighed: "When did Luo Yi become my trouble..."
"Ah, I suddenly remembered that you said that you had an appointment in Sydney some time ago. After calculating the time, you should have met. Could it be..." Luo Rui suddenly lowered his voice, "Is that what you are bothered about now? .”
Wen Xiaohui widened his eyes: "Mom, I really underestimated your IQ before, you are as wise as you are stupid."
Luo Rui patted his head: "Who are you talking about being stupid?"
"Great Wisdom Ruoyu is a compliment!"
Luo Rui sat opposite him: "You didn't tell me now, I guessed it myself, can you say it?"
Wen Xiaohui thought for a while, but still shook his head.
"Then I continued to guess?"
Wen Xiaohui nodded, looking downcast.
"In short, is the death of Sydney's ex-husband related to Luo Yi?"
"… A little."
Luo Rui said cautiously: "How much?"
"I can't go into details, I didn't break the law anyway, but... it played a little role in fueling the flames..."
"Then what do you think?"
"I dare not ask Luo Yi, because I promised Sydney not to tell anyone."
"Actually, it's fine if you don't ask." Luo Rui twisted his fingers, "Luo Yi... is a bit scary, although he is very good to you, but to others, especially to people who don't deal with you... Is he a paranoid personality? ah."
Wen Xiaohui said irritably: "What kind of paranoid personality, don't use words indiscriminately if you don't understand."
Luo Rui said aggrievedly: "Why are you being so fierce to me? You've been so fierce recently."
Wen Xiaohui said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I'm upset, I didn't mean it."
Luo Rui sighed: "This is really annoying."
"I think it's a good opportunity for me to go abroad. I will distance myself from Luo Yi so that I can calm down. Maybe when I come back, he will mature."
"Well, it's a good thing to be apart for a while. It's just a pity. You and Li Shuo have just made some progress. Once you leave like this, you won't know what it will be like when you come back."
"It depends on fate. He said he would go to America to see me."
"If I'm free, I'll visit you too." Luo Rui said with a smile, "By the way."
"I think playing is the key..." Before Wen Xiaohui finished speaking, he suddenly saw two familiar figures flashing outside the window, he stood up abruptly, and ran to the window.
"What's the matter?"
Luo Rui leaned over and said, "Hey, did you meet that lawyer Cao last time? He may have a company nearby, and I seem to have seen him passing by a few days ago."
"It's Lawyer Cao." Wen Xiaohui's face was a little serious.
"Who is that woman next to her? She looks so beautiful."
"It's my sister's friend, called Sun Ying." It was Sun Ying who handed Luo Yaya's suicide note to him. If he hadn't met again today, he would have almost forgotten about Sun Ying. After all, he was very fond of this woman. is disgust.
"Ah, it was you who told me about that woman who served as a mistress and opened a beauty salon before."
"Yes, my sister was working there from the beginning, and she led her to spoil her."
After Lawyer Cao and Sun Ying passed by the dessert shop, Lawyer Cao suddenly answered the phone and stopped by the side of the street. The two of them couldn't see Lawyer Cao's expression, but Sun Ying was looking sideways, with a heavy expression on his face. After a while, Lawyer Cao hung up the phone and said something to Sun Ying, and the atmosphere between the two became a little cold.
"Looks like they're arguing?"
Wen Xiaohui frowned and said, "What are these two people doing together..." The only intersection between the two of them should be Yaya, Yaya has been gone for more than a year now, and the inheritance contract and child support contract have been signed. together, why? Wen Xiaohui intuited that this incident was still related to Yaya and Luo Yi. He hesitated for a moment, and said, "Luo Rui, pack me two cakes, the cheapest and the stale ones, the ones that can't be sold out today and will be thrown away tomorrow."
"Oh ah?"
After Wen Xiaohui finished speaking, he ran out, and greeted him from afar: "Lawyer Cao."
Cao Hai and Sun Ying turned their heads at the same time, and the moment they saw Wen Xiaohui, they were too surprised to hide their expressions, as if they had seen a ghost, with panic and... guilty conscience.
Wen Xiaohui was also startled by the expressions of the two of them.
"Wen, Mr. Wen, why are you here?" Cao Hai suddenly recalled something, "Oh, your friend opened near here..."
"Dessert shop." Wen Xiaohui pointed behind him, "Is your office nearby?"
"Yes, it's on the street."
Sun Ying looked at Wen Xiaohui, looking very uncomfortable, neither talking nor not speaking.
Wen Xiaohui didn't bother to talk to her: "Would you like to come in and sit?"
"No, we still have something to do."
Wen Xiaohui looked at the faces of the two of them for a while, and said bluntly: "What's the matter, is it related to my sister, or is it related to Luo Yi?"
The two of them probably didn't expect Wen Xiaohui to ask so directly, they were both taken aback, Cao Hai smiled dryly: "No, Mr. Luo, Sister Sun and I have always been friends, and today we are going out to get together."
Wen Xiaohui gave a meaningful "Oh", obviously not believing it, because Luo Yi said that Cao Hai coveted the property left by Yaya, so Wen Xiaohui was very wary of this person, let alone Sun Ying, a scheming woman , When these two get together, they always feel that nothing good happens.
At this time, Luo Rui came out with two cakes.
Wen Xiaohui took the cake: "My friend made the cake, try it."
Cao Hai thanked him and took the cake politely.
Sun Ying hesitated for a moment, took the cake as well, and whispered, "Thank you." But she didn't dare to look at Wen Xiaohui.
Wen Xiaohui waved his hand: "Those two, please be busy, Lawyer Cao, let more people from the firm come and take care of my friend's business when you have time."
"sure."
After the two left, Wen Xiaohui asked, "Is it the cheapest and the least fresh?"
Luo Rui made an OK gesture and blinked at the same time.
"Well, that's good. It's best to have diarrhea tomorrow after eating today."
"How is it possible? The things I make are very safe and hygienic. If you want to pursue that effect, just put laxatives on it."
"Isn't this on hand?"
"Why do you hate them so much?"
"Needless to say that bitch Sun Ying, my sister didn't like studying at the beginning and dropped out of school to work. If she hadn't entered her shop, maybe she wouldn't have become like that. I disgust her. Then Luo Yi said, Lawyer Cao seems to be It's definitely not a good thing to get together with Sun Ying anyway."
"Then you still give them cakes."
"Let me talk to you. By the way, I will promote it to you. Cao Hai's law firm is on this street. There are hundreds of people."
"Beibi is really smart."
"That's... No, I have to tell Luo Yi about this, who knows what those two people discussed." He took out his mobile phone and sent Luo Yi a text message, asking Luo Yi to come to Luo Rui's store after school.
Luo Rui said: "How about we eat hot pot in the store today?"
"OK."
Luo Rui clapped his hands happily, bouncing around to prepare the hot pot.
After Wen Xiaohui told what happened today, he observed Luo Yi's expression while eating.
Luo Yi didn't have any special reaction, just "Oh".
"You don't seem to care too much." Wen Xiaohui reminded, "You forgot that Cao Hai is not satisfied with the distribution of my sister's inheritance."
"That's right, but I can't figure out what the meeting between him and Sun Ying has to do with this matter. He and Sun Ying have known each other for a few years, so maybe they really just got together casually."
Although Wen Xiaohui felt a little weird, he couldn't say it was weird. He thought for a while: "My sister's suicide note was given to me by Sun Ying."
"Well, Lawyer Cao asked her to go. He thinks it's better for someone he knows to come forward for such a thing. It seems too blunt for him to go with a lawyer and tell you such news."
"Oh." Wen Xiaohui thought to himself, maybe he really cares too much, "Anyway, you have to be careful, I'm going to America, and you're left alone."
"Don't worry, I can take care of myself."
Wen Xiaohui actually said that, he knew that Luo Yi could take good care of himself, and even take good care of others—that is, him—but the method was unacceptable to him.
While eating, Wen Xiaohui's cell phone rang. Wen Xiaohui picked it up and saw that it was Li Shuo's call. For some reason, in front of Luo Yi, he didn't really want to answer it.
Luo Yi was sitting next to him and glanced casually: "Li Shuo? Why didn't you answer?"
Wen Xiaohui coughed lightly, and answered the phone: "Hello, Brother Li."
"Xiaohui, I'm working on xx street. I remember Luo Rui said that his shop is nearby. Is it closed now? I suddenly want to try his desserts."
"Uh, no."
"Send me your address."
Wen Xiaohui thought that Li Shuo was coming and might run into Luo Yi, so he didn't want Li Shuo to come, but he couldn't lie in front of Luo Rui and Luo Yi, so he could only say: "Okay... Luo Rui and I Right in the shop."
"What a coincidence, let me treat you to dinner."
"Oh, no, no, we've already eaten, and we have to help him reconcile the account at night."
"Do you need my help?"
"No, it's almost done, I'll give the address..."
"Let him eat together." Luo Yi said suddenly.
Wen Xiaohui was stunned.
Slowly but firmly, Luo Yi took Wen Xiaohui's mobile phone, put it close to his ear, and said gently: "Uncle Li, hello, I am Wen Xiaohui's nephew, we are eating hot pot in the back kitchen with brother Luo Rui, do you want to?" Let's eat together."
Li Shuo smiled and said, "Oh, hello, hello, hot pot, yes, I like it very much."
Luo Yi told Li Shuo the address, then returned the phone to Wen Xiaohui, and smiled at him.
Both Wen Xiaohui and Luo Rui were dumbfounded, unable to react for a long time, Wen Xiaohui mechanically said "see you later" to Li Shuo, hung up the phone, and then glared at Luo Yi.
Luo Yi smiled and said, "Don't you want to see him? Such an opportunity can increase intimacy."
Wen Xiaohui felt his scalp tingling for a while, and he couldn't explain why, he was very, very reluctant to meet Li Shuo and Luo Yi: "It's too simple for us to eat like this, how dare you call him."
"I don't think he would mind."
Wen Xiaohui took a deep breath and said harshly, "And I didn't do my hair today, and I was still wearing the old T-shirt and slippers from last year. I don't want to see him at all. How can you make the decision for me?"
Luo Yi paused, then whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't think about it that much."
Luo Rui looked at Luo Yi's pitiful look, and quickly smoothed things over: "Beibi, I have the clothes I just bought here, can I wear them for you?"
Wen Xiaohui said irritably, "I'm different from you."
Luo Rui exclaimed: "Aren't you two or three centimeters taller than me, don't pretend to be aggressive, okay?"
"Two or three centimeters is also high."
The two quarreled a few words, which eased the atmosphere.
Li Shuo was coming, but there wasn't enough food, Luo Rui went to a nearby convenience store to buy some, Luo Yi looked at Wen Xiaohui, and said cautiously: "Brother Xiaohui, don't be angry with me."
Wen Xiaohui sighed: "You can't do this in the future."
"good."
Wen Xiaohui felt that he was powerless to ask, and Luo Yi answered casually. Luo Yi is a typical obedient and obedient, always seems to be obedient on the surface, but what he does behind the scenes makes one's scalp tingle.
"I'm looking forward to meeting Li Shuo." Luo Yi said with a smile.
Wen Xiaohui said: "Why?"
"I'm curious about the man who can fascinate you so much. I want to see what kind of charm he has."
Wen Xiaohui frowned: "Didn't you investigate him?"
"I've only seen photos, it's not intuitive enough."
"There's nothing to be curious about."
Luo Yi smiled and said: "We have agreed that if you want to have a boyfriend, let me check for you, you won't forget it, right?"
"... I haven't forgotten."
After a while, Luo Rui came back, and not long after Luo Rui entered the door, Li Shuo arrived.
Both Wen Xiaohui and Luo Yi stood up: "Brother Li, you are here."
Li Shuo was wearing a neat suit with his coat draped over his arms, and his hair was fixed with hairspray. He looked mature, elegant and handsome.
The moment Luo Yi saw him, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Hello, I'm sorry, I came here temporarily for lunch."
Luo Rui smiled and said, "Warm welcome, I'm afraid of neglecting you, our kitchen is so small."
"No, I think this is very warm." Li Shuo's eyes fell on Luo Yi, and he stretched out his hand: "Hello, you are Xiaohui's nephew, right?"
Luo Yi reached out to shake hands with him, showing a sunny smile that only belonged to a teenager: "Hello, Uncle Li."
Wen Xiaohui looked at the two of them, his heart pounding.
"I didn't know you had such a handsome nephew. How old are you? You must be very popular at school."
Wen Xiaohui smiled: "Sixteen."
"Seventeen years old." Luo Yi added.
Li Shuo chuckled: "When I was your age, I always liked to say my age was older. I think when I pass thirty, I want to say my age as young as possible."
Luo Yi smiled, but didn't speak.
"Come on, come on, I'm going to have a belly." Luo Rui said to Li Shuo, "Brother Li, do you eat this?"
"Eat."
"Many foreigners don't eat offal."
"Growing up in a country where buns and burgers are the staple food, I think everything is delicious here, so I'm not picky."
Several people laughed.
Li Shuo is a knowledgeable and funny man. They had a pleasant chat. Luo Yi seemed to be very interested in Li Shuo's work content and business scope. He asked a lot of questions, and Li Shuo answered them patiently.
After dinner, Luo Rui went to clean up the dishes with the clerk. Luo Yi smiled and said, "Uncle Li, my uncle is going to America for further studies soon, will you visit him often?"
Li Shuo said: "If I have time, I will go back. When I am away, I will ask a friend to take care of him."
Wen Xiaohui said, "Thank you."
"Ask a friend to take care of you... are you at ease?"
Li Shuo didn't react for a while: "Huh?"
Luo Yi smiled: "My uncle is beautiful and cute, aren't you afraid that he will be snatched away?"
Wen Xiaohui suddenly felt embarrassed, pushed Luo Yi, and said angrily, "What are you talking about?"
Li Shuo raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Oh, you know Xiaohui is..."
Luo Yi smiled and said, "We can talk about everything."
Li Shuo also seemed to feel a little embarrassed, after all Luo Yi was still a child in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down: "If Xiaohui and I are destined, distance and time are not a problem, but you did remind me, I will try my best to find my straight boyfriend to take care of him." After speaking, she smiled and blinked.
Wen Xiaohui said embarrassingly: "The child is joking, Brother Li, don't mind."
"It's okay, he's funny."
"It's better to be a woman. My uncle likes handsome ones."
Wen Xiaohui felt a little uneasy, and said in a low voice, "Luo Yi, stop talking nonsense."
Luo Yi shrugged, looking innocent.
Li Shuo said gracefully, "Okay."
After Luo Rui packed up, Li Shuo asked, "Did you just say you were reconciling accounts?"
"Yeah, I've opened the store for a month, and I'm going to settle the score." Luo Rui scratched his hair, "It's so troublesome, there are still more than three thousand, so let's forget it."
"How can you forget it? How can you be so sloppy." Wen Xiaohui said, "I'll help you do the calculation again."
"You're not sure, you're half a catty with me."
"So didn't I call Luo Yi here? He often gets full marks in mathematics."
Li Shuo smiled and said, "Why don't you let me come? Settling accounts is my job."
Luo Rui waved his hands again and again: "No, no, no, it's really a shame to ask you to settle the account of this small shop."
Li Shuo said gently: "It doesn't matter, one month's bill should be easy to calculate. Anyway, I have nothing to do at night, so I will take this meal as a reward."
Luo Rui was a little embarrassed, and took a look at Wen Xiaohui: "Then, I will trouble you."
He put a mess of ledgers and bank cards in front of Li Shuo.
Li Shuo rolled up his sleeves, and gently pulled off his tie. It was obviously a casual action, but it was so sexy that the two little gays almost shed tears.
Li Shuo flipped through the stack of papers, took out a pen from his suit jacket, and said with a smile, "I haven't done calculations on paper for several years. Your accounting system here is too primitive."
Luo Rui scratched his hair: "Actually, there is a system that integrates cash register and accounts, but I'm not very good at using it. It's a bit expensive to hire an accountant..."
"On Saturday there is a training seminar specially for entrepreneurs of small and medium-sized enterprises. It is organized by a friend of mine. In order to promote their accounting software, it is completely free. You can go to the class and try his software if you think it is suitable. , with your simple operating model, the free version is enough.”
"Okay, okay."
After Li Shuo finished speaking, he began to classify all the accounts and bills, and then concentrated on the accounts.
The three of them watched from the side.
Ledgers, bills, glue, thumbtacks, rubber bands, these insignificant office stationery on weekdays exude a charm that makes it hard to look away in Li Shuo's hands, as if no matter what, as long as Li Shuo's slender and clean fingers touch it , it becomes different. Li Shuo tidied up the messy pile of papers within half an hour.
Both Wen Xiaohui and Luo Rui were taken aback.
While lowering his head to settle the accounts, Li Shuo said: "Many people think numbers are boring, but I like numbers very much. Numbers are very honest and regular, and tidying up messy things will give people a great sense of accomplishment. University When choosing a major, I hesitated between accounting and programming, but I followed my father’s advice and chose accounting.” He looked up and smiled, “Numbers can create many miracles.”
The handsome and handsome smile seemed to have given Wen Xiaohui a hard blow in the heart, shaking his whole body, and he sincerely praised: "You are so amazing, I want to die when I touch mathematics."
Luo Yi was silent at the side, his eyes getting deeper and deeper.
Li Shuo worked so meticulously for two hours, and finally sorted out the accounts. In the end, the difference was only 12 yuan, probably because Luo Rui spent the money and forgot.
Luo Rui applauded excitedly, and looked at Li Shuo with admiration in his eyes: "Brother Li, you are too good, but unfortunately I can't afford you, when I get rich in the future, I will definitely ask your firm to do my account for me. "
Li Shuo laughed and said, "Okay, remember to go to class."
"yes."
Wen Xiaohui said: "Brother Li, you have really worked hard today. I don't know how much your work for these two hours is worth."
Li Shuo smiled: "Doing a favor to a friend can't be calculated with money, just send me a cake."
"No problem, I'll get it for you!" Luo Rui turned around and went to get the cake.
Li Shuo stretched his arms and stretched his body: "It's almost time for me to go back, I'll take you home."
"No need, Luo Yi rode over here, let's go back together, Luo Rui's house is nearby, we can walk there."
"Also."
Luo Rui packed a big box of cakes for Li Shuo, Li Shuo accepted it with a smile, and left first.
Looking at Li Shuo's back, Luo Rui said intoxicated, "A perfect male god."
Luo Yi smiled lightly and said, "No wonder Brother Xiaohui likes mature men, they are indeed very attractive."
Wen Xiaohui said depressedly: "Why did you tell him that today, how embarrassing it is."
"What do you mean? I said a lot today, and I can't remember it."
"You...forget it."
"Let's go, let's go home."
After saying goodbye to Luo Rui, the two of them left the store. After eating too much at night, Luo Yi didn't ride the bike, but pushed the bike for a walk with Wen Xiaohui.
Although Wen Xiaohui felt that what Luo Yi said today was a bit strange, but it wasn't too much, he was really relieved.
Luo Yi was silent for a long time before he said, "Brother Xiaohui, Li Shuo seems to like you a little bit."
"Really, I don't know either."
"He runs such a big office, and he handles the accounts of a large company with hundreds of millions of accounts. Today, he spent two hours to settle accounts for a small dessert shop. An elephant shot an ant. He did it, of course, to please you."
Wen Xiaohui felt both ashamed and secretly happy, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Of course, there is another possibility." Luo Yi smiled.
"Ah, what?"
"Uh, forget it."
"What's the matter?"
Luo Yi smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, forget it."
"Is there anyone like you? Half of your words are tantalizing."
Luo Yi said helplessly: "I told you not to think too much."
"Go ahead."
"There is another possibility that he is interested in Luo Rui."
Wen Xiaohui was startled: "Really, how did you see it?"
"I came to Luo Rui's place to eat cakes and help Luo Rui with accounts. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is interested in Luo Rui." Luo Yi blinked his bright eyes, "Brother Xiaohui, you can do this." To see clearly."
