Porcelain industry leader

Chapter 40

Gu Qingchi stood guard at the door of Song Yu's house, changing positions every 10 minutes, and finally entered the password to enter the door until his legs were numb.

It was the first time in his life that he was alone in a home where no master was present.

There is an indescribable feeling.

Song Yu's trust in him gave him an unprecedented feeling.

Very satisfied, from the bottom of my heart, I really want to guard this person.

It took a long time to prove that his trust was not wrong.

Song Yu didn't know what time it was, when he called again, there was no one answering, probably he was driving.

On the phone, Song Yu didn't tell him exactly where he was going or what he was going to do, but he had already made up his mind.

If he can go on steadily this time, he must repay Song Yu well.

Gu Qingchi fed the little fish something to eat, and switched his phone to selfie mode to take a photo with the fish in the tank.

After spreading it to Moments, I found that it was very similar to the photo of the piggy holding the squinting eyes. A handsome face occupied two-thirds of the screen, and the nostrils were still facing the camera. I suddenly felt that I looked stupid, so I deleted it. After changing the animation, Song Yu's usual angle was repositioned.

Tilt your head, turn your head slightly, and hit the camera with your nostrils.

Hey fuck!

Gu Qingchi's knees were so frightened by his pulling.

While the camera was shaking, his finger accidentally touched the button, and the phone clicked.

A hazy, wind-like profile stayed on the screen.

It must be a problem with the phone.

Gu Qingchi walked to the fish tank on the balcony, squatted down slightly, opened his mouth to the fish in the tank, and while the little fish was swimming towards him, he raised his hand and took several consecutive pictures from the side.

Lifting up the phone and looking at it, he was still stupid.

He didn't know why he was so stupid, the previous self would not be like this.

Apart from eating, sleeping and hacking people all day long, he probably just watched the people around him with a straight face.

The uncle of the mahjong parlor once said that his face was unlucky.

Ever since I met Song Yu, I started to be stupid, which shows that childish disease is probably contagious, but it is undeniable that when I found out that I was stupid, I was quite happy.

People only do stupid things when they feel relaxed and comfortable.

When Song Yu pushed open the door, he saw Gu Qingchi lying sideways on the sofa, falling asleep.

Originally, I wanted to find an excuse to sneak home in the afternoon, but I was temporarily notified to go to the client to discuss some details again.

"The bathroom should also be simple with a bit of grandeur." Just because of this wonderful request, I lived and tossed for another three hours.

If it wasn't for the fact that this person's list is relatively large, and he still has two branches under his control, and to maintain a good relationship, he really wanted to scold you, why do you need people to visit when you shit.

But when he saw Gu Qingchi sleeping soundly, all the unhappiness was thrown to the back of his mind.

Song Yu crept close to the sofa like when he was scaring the neighbor's puppy when he was a child, and even took off his slippers halfway to avoid making noise.

He walked to the sofa, bent slightly, put his hands on his knees, and looked down at Gu Qingchi.

Last night, I turned off the lights and couldn't see anything clearly. I wanted to jump into the ditch. I was already too nervous to breathe.

The bridge of Gu Qingchi's nose was straight, his eyelashes were slender and slightly curled, casting a curved shadow on the lower eyelid.

I really want to take the opportunity to kiss, but this is too immoral.

The more important reason is that he dare not...

If Gu Qingchi woke up suddenly, he would probably be scared to death on the spot.

After all, the relationship has made some progress. If I scare the person away later, I don't want to talk to him in this life. What should I do?

Song Yu tapped lightly on the tip of his nose.

Gu Qingchi touched his nose.

Song Yu smiled and took out his phone, turned it on silent, and took several pictures of his sleeping face.

Song Yu didn't want to wake him up, so he went back to his room and called Zhou Yanran again.

Zhou Yanran was his high school classmate and college classmate. Her family was in a very good condition. She graduated and went to work for two years. When she came back from other places a while ago, her parents directly funded a themed cafe for her.

At that time, he was the one who got the design of the cafe.

The creativity is good, the mood is perfect, and the source of customers is stable. Song Yu and his colleagues have been there many times before.

Moreover, most of the people who work there are young people, so it should be easier for Gu Qingchi to work there.

"What time does your store close?" Song Yu asked.

"Ten o'clock in the evening," Zhou Yanran said excitedly, "When are you coming?"

"Then wait a little longer, I still have something to do here." Song Yu said.

"Haha, well, I can't wait to see what that handsome guy you mentioned looks like." Zhou Yanran smiled.

That's why Song Yu didn't choose to send Gu Qingchi there immediately.

Zhou Yanran is a person with good qualifications and good vision. There are so many handsome men and beautiful women in the cafe. He is afraid that Gu Qingchi will not be able to hold back and hook up a little girlfriend to go home in the past.

At that time, he might perform a death blow on the spot.

Now he can't wait to stay by Gu Qingchi 24 hours a day, and have a long-lasting love and affection.

"When did you come back, why didn't you wake me up?" Gu Qingchi stood at the door of the bedroom, rubbing his eyes.

Song Yu stood by the window, his thoughts still wandering, and a sudden sentence from behind startled him, and after two seconds of silence, he smiled and said, "I said I'm going through the back door, so why worry?"

"Then you have to be punctual. Did you tell anyone what time it was?" Gu Qingchi asked.

"I told her that you are sleeping, when will you wake up?" Song Yu walked over and hooked his neck.

"No way! Are you really telling people that? Then they will be so angry! Do people still want me!" Gu Qingchi suddenly became nervous, and turned to look at Song Yu.

Song Yu tilted his head back and laughed twice, rubbing the back of Gu Qingchi's head, "You are really the most innocent silly dog ​​I have ever seen."

When Gu Qingchi heard Song Yu say that he was going to a coffee shop on the road, what came to mind was the corner coffee shop in the movie, designed with full floor-to-ceiling windows, spacious and bright, sitting in it, drinking coffee, listening to piano music, and enjoying the streets Passers-by A, B, and C who were running in the rain.

As a result, after getting off the car, I couldn't find the door of the cafe at all.

Song Yu looked for a place to park the car, while Gu Qingchi stood still and circled around.

On both sides of the street are tall and verdant sycamore trees. The setting sun in the west shines brilliantly, projecting through the leaves to the ground, turning into tiny spots. At the same time, the edges of the branches and leaves are properly inlaid with a layer of warm velvet gold.

After coming to S City for so many years, he has never been to this bourgeoisie street, and he has never even heard of it.

One is because it is too far away from home, and the other is that the people he comes into contact with should not appear here.

Along the way, he saw various types of storefronts, art galleries, comic book stores, photo studios, tea restaurants...

These industries, which are hardly close to the top, are particularly harmonious here.

The commercial atmosphere here is not so strong, so there are not many people shopping on the whole street. They walk in groups of twos and threes, and occasionally students riding bicycles with schoolbags pass by.

The decoration of the stores on both sides is different from that in the city center. The facades are not too big, but you can basically see the overall decoration from the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, giving people a comfortable and comfortable feeling.

The wall painting in the dessert shop is a light blue sky, the store manager is smiling and chatting with two girls who are waiting for milk tea, the proprietress of the bookstore is leaning on the sofa and rubbing the kitten in her arms, and several students are sitting on the bar counter Watching comics while drinking juice.

Everything here exudes a lazy casual and cozy.

It's like entering another world.

Before coming here, he didn't know that people's small life can be so chic and comfortable, and he would feel very happy if he could mop the floor here.

Song Yu parked the car, smiled and hooked Gu Qingchi's shoulder from behind and walked in another direction.

"Why haven't I seen the cafe you mentioned?" Gu Qingchi's voice was full of excitement, he liked all the shops on this street very much.

"Here." Song Yu raised his chin and raised his eyebrows.

Gu Qingchi was stunned. He had seen this store just now, but he didn't pay much attention to it, because it was too small, and it was really just a door!

Will someone go in!

Wouldn't this really make people misunderstand that it was the back chef of a certain restaurant?

There was a small sign hanging on the door, with a string of English written on it that he could not understand. He originally thought it was the name of the cafe, but Song Yu explained, "This is the gate to another world."

"This cafe doesn't even have a name?" Gu Qingchi asked.

"This is called creativity." Song Yu turned the doorknob.

Gu Qingchi really didn't understand this kind of creativity, so he followed it out of curiosity.

Behind the door is a narrow corridor, with green luminous stickers on the walls and the ground on both sides, the arrows pointing in the same direction, and twinkling star lights hanging above the head.

As soon as Gu Qingchi entered the door, he couldn't help but "wow".

"There are steps ahead, be careful not to fall." Song Yu held Gu Qingchi's forearm with his backhand, slid down slightly, and hooked his slender fingers.

There was no light in the corridor, and Gu Qingchi was still a bit night blind. After hearing Song Yu's words, he was always worried that he would miss his foot, so he didn't dare to let go of his hand, and moved very slowly.

It turned out that his so-called step was a small platform estimated to be no more than five centimeters, and it was the kind of stepping up. There was no such thing as stepping on the ground.

However, Song Yu's thoughtfulness still made him feel warm in his heart.

There is still a door at the end of the corridor. Although there is no light and nothing can be seen clearly, the edge of this door is wrapped with luminous tape, and there is also an arrow on the top of the handle.

"Let me drive, let me drive." Gu Qingchi rubbed his hands excitedly, this kind of pitch-black feeling was particularly like an adventure.

"I want to open it too." Song Yu held the handle and did not let go.

"Haven't you been here?" Gu Qingchi asked.

"No, it's my first time too." Song Yu lied and didn't draft at all, since it was so dark that he couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Then let's drive together." Gu Qingchi put his hand on the back of Song Yu's.

Song Yu's heart twitched suddenly, originally he wanted to tease Gu Qingchi, but this sudden suddenness made him feel like a huge firework exploded above his head.

Pushing the door open, Gu Qingchi's eyes widened.

If it weren't for the fact that there were modern people dressed similarly to him, he would suspect that he had traveled to another virtual time and space.

The decoration of the entire coffee shop can almost be described as magical, the lighting is dim, but it is enough to see everything inside.

The coffee shop is much larger than he imagined, about 200 square meters, and many things in the room do not exist in their normal form.

For example, one side of the sofa is suspended in the air, the cushions seem to be flying, the four corners of the table are not the same height, and the chandelier that should have appeared on the ceiling is installed on the wall.

Although the entire space gives people a distorted illusion, this distortion does not make people feel uncomfortable, but it makes people feel dreamy and magical, as if they are in another world, away from all the troubles and hustle and bustle.

In the center of the coffee shop is a curved stage of more than ten square meters, with various musical instruments and strange props on display. At this moment, a little girl dressed like a girl who just escaped from a certain movie set is performing magic tricks.

She took off the black high hat on top of her head and twirled it around with her fingertips, showing it to the audience.

Then he threw the hat into the air, and with a swipe, the petals scattered all over the ground.

Surprised shouts erupted from the audience, and the sound of music exploded overhead, and the atmosphere was suddenly mobilized.

The girl smiled slightly with the corners of her mouth curled up, grabbed the hat and reached into it.

Two seconds later, a small white rabbit appeared in her palm, and she opened her mouth wide in feigned surprise.

"Wow!" The audience applauded thunderously, one after another.

Gu Qingchi couldn't help laughing, and clapped his hands with everyone.

After the performance, the girl bent down and bowed while stroking her chest, and cheers continued from the audience.

"Come out as a rabbit again!" A boy sitting in front suddenly shouted.

"If you order another cup of coffee, I will turn into another one." The girl put her hat back on her head.

"If you can change another one, I can order ten more cups!" The man shouted, "If you can't change our table, please!"

Gu Qingchi couldn't hold back a sneering expression, there were seven or eight people at the man's table, wasn't it obvious that he wanted to deceive people.

"It's hard to catch four horses." The girl returned to the center of the stage, and everyone at the table laughed teasingly.

Gu Qingchi really didn't expect this girl to agree to the gamble.

He has also done a little research on the magic of turning living creatures. There is a hidden compartment in the middle of the hat, and the little rabbit is placed in it in advance. According to the size of the hat, it is impossible to turn another one out on the spot.

But the girl's smile looked quite confident, which made him doubtful.

The little girl still threw up her high hat as before, but this time no petals fell, and the man sitting in front smiled complacently, as if he was sure that he would win.

Gu Qingchi was looking forward to the girl winning, and stared at her intently.

I saw her reach into the tall hat, and then raised her hand, and a small light gray rabbit pendant was on the tip of her index finger.

The girl turned the pendant on her fingertips and blinked mischievously, "Ten cups!"

There was a sudden burst of screams from the audience, all shouting at the man, "Ten cups! Ten cups! Ten cups!..."

The man was quite unconvinced, "I mean to become a live rabbit."

"If I remember correctly, what you said at the time was to turn into a rabbit again, but you didn't say it was a live rabbit." The girl said.

The surrounding people also chimed in, "Yeah, you didn't mention live rabbits."

The man felt quite humiliated, but if he didn't pay for it, he would lose face even more, so he could only say, "How much?"

"That's the cheapest one. It's [-] in total. Cash or credit card?" The girl moved her fingertips, and the waiter standing behind the bar walked over with the POS machine in her arms.

"A cup of coffee 68! It's a money grab!" Gu Qingchi was stunned. This deceit was no less than that of Master Kong's iced black tea in the bar. He was a little afraid that he would lose his salary for a day if he poured a cup of it later.

Song Yu patted him lightly on the head, "You still robbed him of [-] yuan at a time!"

"Is this the same thing?" Lu Qingchi rubbed his head.

Song Yu hooked his shoulders and walked towards the bar, "Those people come in to enjoy themselves, some people sit for a long time, and they watch the show and want to refill their cups, and the coffee refills are free. How can you do business if it’s cheap?”

"That's it..." Gu Qingchi felt that it made some sense. The rent of the store alone was a huge expense, not to mention the salaries of the staff. He had just glanced at it and estimated that there would be six or seven waiters in uniform.

When Song Yu passed by the bar, a waiter recognized him and greeted him with a smile, "Xiao Song, you haven't been here for a while."

Gu Qingchi looked at him suspiciously.

Song Yu supported his head, "You must have misunderstood the person."

"It's funny! I still can't recognize you, I wish I could come here eight times a day." The waiter smiled while drawing flowers.

"I am Song Yu's twin brother, named Song He." Song Yu was helpless.

"Crazy," the waiter shook his hands with a smile, the love on the coffee surface was a little crooked, he directly turned it into a rose, "Yan Ran is killing a werewolf in the box on the second floor, you should find it yourself Shall I call her for you?"

"It's okay, go ahead, I'll go find her myself." Song Yu said.

"Box No. 3." The waiter poked his head and added a sentence.

"Didn't you say you're here for the first time too?" Gu Qingchi asked as he went upstairs, and there was a burst of cheerful laughter from the box closest to the stairs.

"When I came back, there was no such door." Song Yu said.

"Tell me the truth." Gu Qingchi said.

"Okay, just to tease you, I have been here almost [-] times." Song Yu turned his head and glanced at him, "Aren't you angry?"

"Damn it, do you think my measurements are calculated in nanometers?!" Gu Qingchi raised his voice.

"I rely on you to know that a nanometer is a calculation unit!" Song Yu was quite shocked, and also raised his voice.

"I also know that a light year is a unit of length!" Gu Qingchi raised his eyebrows.

Song Yu clapped his hands again and again, "Awesome!"

Zhou Yanran happened to go out to pour coffee, and when she heard Song Yu's voice, she immediately turned her head and glanced at it, the corners of her mouth slightly raised as if she tried to restrain herself but couldn't restrain herself, and said directly: "I want this person."

Song Yu knew this was the result long ago, so he gave a faint "hmm".

After Zhou Yanran finished speaking, she looked at Gu Qingchi calmly.

"Huh?!" Gu Qingchi pointed to his nose in surprise, feeling as if he had been sold into a nightclub for a moment.

There's no need for an interview! ?

Isn't it too casual to go through the back door?

"Hmm, what, um, maybe I still want him." Zhou Yanran raised her chin and looked at Song Yu.

"What's wrong with me, I'm so handsome," Song Yu hooked Gu Qingchi's neck, "We buy one get one free, buy me and get him free."

"You stay away," Zhou Yanran pushed Song Yu away with a smile, and pulled Gu Qingchi past, "I just want a gift."

Gu Qingchi couldn't help laughing when he heard the two of them chatting. After some introductions, he realized that the joking beauty in front of him was actually the proprietress of this coffee shop.

I can't see it at all, and it's too easy-going.

It was different from the rich people he had known before.

This probably means that birds of a feather flock together. The people around Song Yu are as easy to get along with as Song Yu.

It's really an honor for a little bastard like me to be friends with Song Yu.

He must have done something extraordinary in his previous life.

Zhou Yanran took Gu Qingchi for a brief tour.

There are a total of ten boxes on the second floor of the coffee shop, each box has a different theme, and various props for board games, as well as coffee and desserts will be provided inside.

Many young people like to spend their spare time on weekends gathering with friends, and they can sit and chat all day long by ordering anything.

Playing games and playing cards, here is the most comfortable choice.

In short, the people who come here to play are basically young white-collar workers who are in a hurry and have a little money.

"We work on a shift system here. The day shift is from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, and the evening shift is from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm. The evening shift is more busy, and of course the salary will be higher than the day shift. Then we have regular performances here. , there are more people than usual, and you may need to work overtime..."

Zhou Yanran and Gu Qingchi sat side by side on the sofa in the corner, explaining some work points and precautions patiently and meticulously.

Song Yu sat across from him with his legs crossed and swiped his phone.

"Have you worked before?" Zhou Yanran asked with a smile, "Is it because you just graduated from university at your age?"

"No, I haven't studied since I graduated from primary school, and I have no work experience, but I think I'm fine with what you said." Gu Qingchi said.

"Oh..." Zhou Yanran raised her head, instantly understood Song Yu's eyes, and didn't ask any more questions, "It's fine if you think it's okay, I'm afraid you'll feel bored staying here."

"No! How is it possible! This place is very interesting!" Gu Qingchi said immediately.

"Then it's settled, you can try it starting tomorrow." Zhou Yanran said with a smile.

Gu Qingchi nodded like a pounding garlic, so excited that he wanted to roll around on the ground twice.

Zhou Yanran greeted Song Yu and was about to go downstairs. After thinking about it, she returned, "By the way, Qingchi, give me your ID card. There are two new girls in the store who need to pay their wages." Card and social security, I will ask the accountant to get it together later.”

"Oh, good." Gu Qingchi handed over his ID card.

The work matter has been resolved, but the family problem has not been resolved. When Gu Qingchi was sitting in the car, he was thinking about how to tell his father about it.

"Do you still know the way? Do you want me to pick you up tomorrow?" Song Yu parked the car downstairs at Gu Qingchi's house.

"Okay, I'll treat you to breakfast." Gu Qingchi said.

"You're too picky, why don't you treat me to breakfast after being so helpful to you?" Song Yu clicked his tongue twice.

"Can you do it in a month?" Gu Qingchi asked with a smile.

"Pick." Song Yu rolled his eyes.

Gu Qingchi had no choice but to point to the upstairs, "Then why don't you go up and have a meeting, and I'll make you a big meal."

Song Yu immediately turned off the engine and pulled the handbrake, "Deal."
