afternoon.
Everyone also made special observations to see how Ji Huai and Luo Yushu were doing in the morning and how they were in the afternoon. Ji Huai was even more busy, doing his job diligently and without any excessive behavior.
However, I don’t know if they have a filter on, but I always feel that these two people look very sweet even if they don’t speak. Good-looking people are easy on the eyes.
There is a lot of traffic in the evening and the order rate is also high, so they stay busy until very late after get off work. Because they are so busy, they don't even have time to have dinner.
"What do you want to eat? Have some food first and then go back." Ji Huai asked them and stopped the two female part-time workers.
"No, it's too late. We have to go back first." The two declined politely.
"Find a restaurant nearby to have something to eat, and then call a car to take you back, okay?" Ji Huai didn't let them go, looking embarrassed, "I'm quite busy today, and I didn't expect to come back so late. I'm really sorry, the car The fees will be reimbursed to you.”
As soon as he said this, the two of them stayed.
A group of people came to a 24-hour hot pot restaurant. At this time, Ji Huai and Luo Yushu acted like a couple. He held her hand and walked inside.
During this period, everyone made some jokes, but Luo Yushu was a little shy. He was generous and let her sit next to him. When ordering, he ordered her favorite shrimps, cabbage sums and lotus roots, and poured juice. When the time came, the first glass was handed to her first, and then poured to others.
Faced with everyone's booing, he ignored it and made it clear that he was partial.
Luo Yushu held the juice in her hand and took a sip. At the beginning, Ji Huai's cell phone rang. He said a few words, then gave the phone to Luo Yushu and said softly: "My mother."
Everyone was talking lively, and she got up and walked out, talking to the other end with her mobile phone.
Seeing this, the people at the dinner table said to Ji Huai, "Have you all met your parents? Do we need to prepare a share of the money?"
Ji Huai put the food in the pot: "It will take two years."
"It's still two years away?" One of the male colleagues didn't understand. "We've been dating for so long. Isn't the relationship pretty good?"
"It's not the same thing. Marriage is different from love. When you get into marriage, the difficulty of life script becomes more difficult. How can it be as easy as falling in love?" He put the basket of food aside, "Marriage represents responsibility. Without a foundation, how can she let her live with her? Am I going through hardship? No matter how good the relationship is, it has been worn away by the daily necessities of life."
Luo Yushu hung up the phone and walked back, just in time to hear him say this.
Ji Huai rarely talked about the future with her, so little that she thought he didn't care. She didn't expect to have such a layer of worry, and she suddenly felt depressed.
When he said this, the colleague just stopped talking and was reflecting on himself. He really didn't have such self-consciousness as others. He thought that getting married was just a matter of getting married. The harder life was, the harder it was. He even thought that if you love him, you should be able to endure hardships together.
The female colleague heard what he said and agreed very much.
No matter how good the relationship is, it will be worn away by firewood, rice, oil and salt. What you are afraid of is not suffering, but fearing that you will suffer nothing until the end.
After Luo Yushu came back, Ji Huai pushed the clear soup on the table to her and filled a bowl before serving the dishes.
People at the table were chatting and joking, but Luo Yushu didn't participate and ate her food silently. Ji Huai occasionally brought her vegetables, and she also gave him his favorite meat.
The two people's movements are natural and not deliberate at all. It seems that they have a tacit understanding formed after being together for a long time, which makes people feel comfortable and yearning.
After meal.
Ji Huai paid the bill, called a car, and sent the two part-time girls to the car.
After all their colleagues left, the two of them did not go home directly. Just after eating, he took her hand and walked along the street.
The night wind was a bit cold, Luo Yushu wrapped his hands around Ji Huai's arm, leaned on him, and walked forward. There were tall buildings on both sides, with lights on. She glanced at them several times, then raised her head to look at him.
Ji Huai lowered his eyes, met her eyes, raised his hand to cover her little head, turned her head to his side, and said, "I definitely won't buy a house here, the facilities here are not perfect."
"Oh~~" Luo Yushu hugged him tighter, she didn't understand this.
Ji Huai thought of something again and asked her, "Are you free next week? It may be busier and I need you to help in the store."
"Yes." She answered without even thinking about it.
He nodded: "Yes, Saturday and Sunday. I will settle your salary then."
"It's okay, I'm free anyway, I don't need..."
Before she had finished collecting it, Ji Huai said with a smile: "Income from labor is what you deserve. It's not like I'm settling the accounts for you and spending the money in the store."
"Then give it to me." Luo Yushu calculated, "One hundred and sixty in one day, three hundred and two in two days, plus today... I have to save money so that I can buy a bigger house."
She was counting her own small treasury in her mind. The last year-end bonus was 18,000 yuan, plus the 20,000 yuan she had saved in the first half of the year. She had saved some bits and pieces in the past six months, and she already had 70,000 yuan. She would pay it again at the end of the year. Year-end bonus, the goal is to save 100,000.
Ji Huai heard what she said and asked softly: "Do you really want to buy a house?"
She doesn't have any big ideas in front of him. She will be the first to tell him about the salary increase and bonus. Money is left.
"I think so." She replied without hesitation.
Although living in a small apartment is comfortable, the rent is expensive and there is no sense of belonging. When I return to Luo's house, it is just a small cubicle, and there is no sense of belonging.
It's not just for the house, she wants to work hard with him and have a home with him.
Ji Huai answered casually: "If you want, I can get married when you graduate and buy it then."
Luo Yushu didn't care if he said it was true or not, she just took it seriously and responded with a frown: "Okay~~"
She will graduate in two and a half years, so she will work hard to save money and increase her salary.
As Double Eleven approaches, Ji Huai is even busier.
The store's business is good, because this year it adopted the method of online live broadcast, which also divided up a wave of customer traffic, and the performance increased steadily.
Luo Yushu was afraid that he would not eat well, so she often brought him meals. Even Fang Qin praised him that he had found a virtuous girlfriend and asked him to treat her well.
During that half-month, Ji Huai was so busy that he almost fell asleep, but his performance did not disappoint him.
In December, the performance of the Nanguan District store surpassed the main store and ranked first. Soon, in December, the main store also started a live broadcast format under the leadership of Li Ying, with Li Liang broadcasting live. And it was not just these two stores that competed, but the effect was not as good as that in Nanguan District. .
Ji Huai had laid a solid foundation here, and he did not neglect at all. In December, he once again firmly suppressed Li Ying. Fang Qin felt that he was able to breathe a sigh of relief. In the past two months, he had been feeling windy when he walked.
At the annual meeting, this year's sales champion was none other than Ji Huai. He went on stage to receive the award, and also received a very considerable bonus and a sweeping robot worth 6,880.
Cai Zhen didn't care about this thing, maybe she disliked it very much. Ji Huai didn't take it home and gave it to Luo Yushu. Fortunately for her, when she heard that it was six thousand eighty, she told him, "I can just drag it by hand. How about selling it? It's still money to sell it for six thousand."
"Are you a money fan?" Ji Huai laughed and raised his hand to mess up her hair.
"Why use a robot for such a big place? It can be towed in just two or three times." Luo Yushu also felt that she had lost money. She did not pay for it herself, and she was also very heartbroken.
Seeing that she really didn't want it, Ji Huai was helpless, thinking that her computer had been used for five years and was stuck, so he finally sold the sweeping robot and gave her a new computer so that she could write her thesis.
The company gave annual leave and gave out a year-end bonus. Luo Yushu saved 100,000 as she wished, and she happily shared it with Ji Huai.
After all, she had only graduated a year and a half ago, so it was a huge amount of money for her. It was the first time she saw such a large amount of money, and she looked at it carefully several times.
"Very good." Ji Huai praised her, and then helped her buy a short-term term with the money. He also analyzed it with her, "Ten thousand yuan can generate one yuan of interest a day, and one hundred thousand yuan is ten yuan. You can eat it every day." Breakfast costs between 4 and 6 yuan, and the bus fare is 1.8 yuan, which means you can have at least 2.2 yuan left in a day."
"Two yuan and two a day, that's sixty-six yuan left in a month. How much more do you have after a year? That's seven hundred and ninety-two yuan!"
…
Luo Yushu frowned, listening to his eloquent analysis, and caught his suppressed smile, stepped forward and put her arms around his waist, her hands kept teasing him: "You are not praising me!"
Ji Huai: "Why am I not praising you? Isn't this great?"
As soon as she heard this, she stopped and stared at him, as if to confirm whether he was telling the truth. He also looked at her with his deep black eyes, and said with a smile: "If you are so good at living, you must marry her home."
Come on, as soon as these words came out, her pink lips stopped curling up, and he leaned over and kissed her.
Roland fell in love this year and heard that he was getting engaged. When Luo Yushu came home, the man happened to be there. He was busy helping the Luo family clean up. He seemed diligent.
I heard that they were introduced by a friend. He is two years older than Roland. He works as an excavator. Because he works at construction sites for a long time, he looks older, thinner and darker.
Luo's father and Luo's mother felt that he was very diligent, so they were polite to the man and said that it was enough for them to live well.
Before the man said anything, Roland was unwilling: "Everyone else has a bride price, why don't I? I won't marry without me."
"I have to give it." The man was embarrassed, but he assured him.
As soon as he left, Roland turned down his face and said to Luo's father and mother first: "Can you please stop interfering in my affairs? Why don't you give it to me? If you don't want it, I still want it. I don't want to sell myself at a low price. When the time comes to work as a cow or a horse, who will be responsible for me? Will you raise me?"
Luo's father and Luo's mother didn't say anything. They could only sigh in their hearts. Even if they knew what their daughter was like, they could be greedy, so why not
They also have this mentality. It would be better for their daughter to ask for a bride price, and it would also give them face if she spoke out.
"How much gift are you planning to give your boyfriend from outside the province?" Roland asked Luo Yushu.
Her bride price is more than hers.
"I don't know." Luo Yushu didn't shy away from eating. "We have just graduated. He doesn't have much money, and I don't want to ask for more."
She didn't know the customs here, but she said this because she wanted Luo's father and Luo's mother not to embarrass Ji Huai.
"What do his parents do?" Luo's father asked.
"I don't have a fixed career, but it's okay." Luo Yushu felt that Cai Zhen and Ji Jianhui were simple and good-tempered, which was rare. They would give everything they had to Ji Huai, so their life would not be too bad after all.
"You still have to think carefully. After studying in college, you just got married in such a haphazard way." Luo's mother was not very satisfied. "Isn't his family from Quzhou? There was a betrothal gift of three to five million yuan. His parents should have been prepared for this. "
"We also have 300,000 yuan here." Roland interjected, "I want 300,000 yuan plus a house, and nothing less."
Luo's mother knew how much she weighed, so she persuaded her: "Don't make things difficult for others, just live a good life."
She just hoped that Luo Lan would get married quickly, but it was different for Luo Yushu. It was similar to the fact that she believed that her youngest daughter had gone to college and was of high value, so a small gift was not excessive.
From now on, when Luo Hong marries a wife, he will also have to give her a bride price. She doesn’t want much, just give her two hundred thousand and keep tens of thousands more. Isn’t that too much
Luo's father didn't have as many twists and turns as she did. He just asked, "Has his family bought a house?"
Luo Yushu shook his head: "The house is so expensive, we..."
"Why would you marry if you don't have a house?" Roland interrupted with a smile and mocked, "Are you going to help the poor? After all, you have gone to college. You are really stupid!"
Luo Yushu was unhappy that she said that to Ji Huai, glanced at her, and said lightly: "You are so smart, set an example for me? Let me learn from you too."
Roland really took it seriously. When a man came to propose marriage, her request was to buy a house, add her name to the house, and receive a bride price of 300,000 yuan.
dowry
Everyone is already married, what dowry do they need
Luo's mother quickly added that if she could bring a few home appliances, they would pay for the betrothal gift... but the betrothal gift had not yet been coordinated, and the two sides broke down.
This year has been a wild ride.
Roland yelled at home, then went crazy, then cried and regretted, and finally went to Luo's mother himself, asking the other party to go to the family to make peace.
Although that man was not as good as some college student tenants, many college student tenants were so harassed by her that they ran away. Except for that man, no one could get along with her for a long time.
For her sake, Luo's mother had no choice but to find someone to make peace with. As a result, the family didn't know where to find out about her dark history, so they closed the door and avoided her.
That man also wanted to get married early, and within a few days, he settled down with another woman. This time there was no betrothal gift or dowry. The disadvantage was that the woman was divorced, her son was given to her ex-husband, and her daughter took care of herself.
Roland was still jumping up and down, threatening to cause destruction. Luo Yushu was also shocked when he learned of the development of the matter.
She and Ji Huai had been dating for so many years before they got to know each other from school to now. The journey of marriage was too hasty and easy.
Because of Roland's incident, no one cared about her and Ji Huai's affairs this year. In order to escape the heavy atmosphere at home, she went back in the third grade of junior high school.
Luo Yushu also studies in graduate school after working, and often writes papers. Apart from working, she is writing papers and reading papers.
When Ji Huai rested, he mostly stayed in the apartment with her and didn't go out all day.
He was currently searching for and downloading papers to help her select them. He clicked the mouse with his slender fingers, opened a paper, and read it carefully. While reading, he said: "After two more years like this, I think I have read it." Half a grind.”
Luo Yushu: "Do you want to take one exam?"
"Forget it, I don't have the energy." He slid the mouse and found the paper. Luo Yushu was writing the paper. He also had to help her with some work. He moved skillfully and looked at the computer and said, "You used to help me, now it's me. help you."
Luo Yushu stood up and moved around, walked behind him again, put her chest against his back, wrapped her slender arms around him, moved her face forward, and raised her red lips slightly: "Does this count as a change of fortune?"
Ji Huai let go of the mouse and held her hand: "No, what you owe must be paid."
"When can I pay it back?" She stood up straight, walked in front of him, and got into his arms.
He hugged her and continued to help her with her work: "How can we not repay everything? When two people are together, don't they just support each other?"
Luo Yushu raised her head to look at him. Ji Huai didn't notice her movements. He looked at the computer and clicked the mouse again, making a crisp sound.
He suddenly asked again: "What's wrong?"
She couldn't hold back and told him what she saw and heard when she returned home this year, which made her think deeply.
Ji Huai continued to help her with her work: "Then what? What else are you thinking about?"
Luo Yushu: "Aren't you surprised at all?"
This kind of thing seemed unbelievable to her, especially for someone like her who had been with him all the way from campus, so her mind was inevitably a little simpler.
"I'm not surprised." Ji Huai said without thinking, "It's just a business, but it's wrapped up in the guise of marriage and love. Since it's business, it's time to break up."
Luo Yushu: "..."
She actually couldn't refute.
"The easiest success in the eyes of secular people is to have a family, a wife, and children. It doesn't matter who you are with, as long as you complete the task." After Ji Huai finished speaking, he looked down at her and changed the subject, "I know Yes, your family wants a bride price of 300,000 yuan."
"No!" Luo Yushu denied quickly.
He laughed again and focused his attention on the computer again. He did not dwell on the topic and just said, "This is the only thing you can come up with in your wild imagination? Do you not believe in love, are you shocked in your outlook, and doubtful of human nature?"
"That's not true." She leaned on his chest and put her arms around his waist. "I have to work harder to improve myself. Otherwise, I don't have the right to choose. I just feel like I'm in a hurry. Others push me around. It's very likely that I won't be able to survive." Not sure."
"What a profound reflection." After he finished speaking, he said casually, "The daughters born in the future should be raised in this way to be as independent as her mother."
Luo Yushu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated when he said this. He was always so careless, planning her into his future blueprint.
mid-year.
Because her husband was transferred back to her hometown and her daughter was also in her hometown, Fang Qin wanted to go back and reunite with her family. She proposed to resign and proposed to Mr. Wang that Ji Huai be the store manager.
During this period of time, the results he has brought are obvious to all, and the store business is booming.
Ji Huai was well-deserved for the position of store manager, and he took the position smoothly. In the next six months, under his leadership, Nanguan District's performance topped the main store for five consecutive months.
In November, taking advantage of the trend of e-commerce, his performance was better than last year. He also signed a big order and won the right to supply electrical appliances to a hotel.
He had been fighting a price war with Mr. Wang for half a month. After signing this order, he directly suppressed Li Ying.
Li Ying was probably severely suppressed. When she went to the headquarters for a meeting, she became more and more targeted towards Ji Huai, spoke more and more rudely, and her emotions were out of control.
The main store has a good location, a large flow of people, is trustworthy, and has a long-lasting performance. She never expected that it would be outshone by that little shabby store.
She also organized people to implement the strategy that Ji Huai made, but the effect was very unsatisfactory. Mr. Wang became more and more dissatisfied with her, and she was almost depressed during this period.
Faced with the sarcasm, Ji Huai said calmly: "Instead of scolding the world and scolding the world, store manager Li should think about his own problems."
"What problem can I have?" Of course Li Ying refused to admit it and snorted coldly.
Ji Huaixiao: "For example, are you not good at leadership?"
As soon as these words came out of her mouth, Li Ying became furious and said in a stern voice: "Don't think you have achieved anything, just here..."
"I'm not the one who relies on the old and sells off the old." Ji Huai also raised his voice to interrupt her and said word for word, "Manager Li always talks about the head office's bad performance in every meeting, the loss of traffic, and the decline in performance. For reasons, I think we should reflect on other aspects.”
That last sentence had a half-joking tone.
Li Ying's expression changed, and she immediately put down her cruel words: "Okay, if I can't do it, you can do it. If you can do it, you can do it."
After saying that, she got up and left.
She has a personal relationship with Mr. Wang and several shareholders, otherwise how could she secure this position? What is Ji Huai? This time, she will definitely not lose!
After all the fuss, she didn't go to work in the store and went back directly.
And she never expected that Ji Huai would be temporarily promoted to the manager of the main store and go to "emergency" on her behalf. Only now did she become anxious, and then she thought of all the trouble in the store, and continued to endure it.
The employees at the main store were half-dead, dragging their feet in doing things, customers kept complaining, and their performance dropped again and again. They even yelled at her, and only two left last week. She had had enough.
Let Ji Huai feel it too.
One day, two days, and three days passed like this. The shareholders and Mr. Wang only called and said some things to comfort her, but there was no actual action at all.
She asked Li Liang and found that there was nothing unusual in the store, so she felt relieved. Unexpectedly, it took a month for her to wait, during which she went from being stubborn to being prevaricated, and completely panicked.
She was afraid of being replaced. After all, the main store was an old one, with high credibility in the eyes of people around her and good wages. She is an old employee, no matter how hard she works, as long as she doesn't go out of her way, Mr. Wang and others will give her some courtesy because they care about their face.
But she never expected that this time she would be dragged back when she took the initiative. Mr. Wang even directly appointed Ji Huai as the manager of the main store, and publicly asked him to work hard and lead the main store to achieve higher results.
How could Li Ying be willing? They had been arguing about this matter for a long time, and even confronted Ji Huai, accusing him of cheating.
Ji Huai looked at Li Ying, whose facial features were distorted with anger. He raised his hand to his forehead and said helplessly: "Manager Li, are you playing house? You go find Mr. Wang. I have to follow you." Clean up the mess later.”
Her chest rose and fell violently, and her face was gloomy: "What you robbed will be punished sooner or later."
If she could solve it with Mr. Wang, she wouldn't appear here. The other party told her tactfully that she could take over the Nanguan District, and let Ji Huai try it first.
Ji Huai really smiled this time, and then calmed down, not annoyed at all: "Manager Li really regards the store as his own, and I have learned a lot from you. I will learn from your lessons and strive to be a better person." To be a convincing manager, of course, you must first learn to respect others and reflect on yourself.”
Li Ying's noodles are like pork liver.
