Getting off the heat

After finishing the matter at hand, Xu An stood up and prepared to go to No. 1 store to see what was left in stock today and what else needed to be replenished, when he suddenly got stopped.

"Xu An."

When Xu An heard this, he looked back and found that the person who called him was Li Xindong.

Why is this guy still in the store so late today? He is the first to settle his wages and leave, and he can't find any words to him.

"Xindong, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with me?" Xu An walked over to Li Xindong and asked casually.

When he walked to Li Xindong, Xu An found that he was holding a suitcase in his hand, and there was a backpack on the suitcase, looking like he was going out for a trip.

"Are you planning to grab the tail of the summer vacation and have fun before going to college?" Xu An smiled and punched Li Xindong in the shoulder: "Okay, you know, don't worry, go play. If you want to work for a few more days after you have sex, just come and find me."

"No." Li Xindong shook his head and said with some embarrassment: "Xu An, is your store not open to the public after 2:30 in the afternoon?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Xu An was a little confused about Li Xindong's question and didn't understand what he wanted to do.

Li Xindong bit his lower lip hard, his mouth twitched several times, and he plucked up the courage to ask, "Xu An, can I rest in the store tonight?"

Xu An couldn't react when he heard this and briefly lost his mind: "What's wrong, what happened?"

After a while of silence between the two, Li Xindong lowered his head and said lightly: "I ran away from home. I don't want to go to my relatives' homes, and I don't want my family to know where I'm going."

The atmosphere was silent again, and Xu An's mind was rotating wildly at this moment, searching for memories of his previous life.

In my memory, this happened in my previous life?

Or did I not have a close relationship with Li Xindong in my previous life, so I didn’t know about this?

"It doesn't matter if it's difficult. I'll think of other ways." Seeing that Xu An didn't answer for a long time, Li Xindong thought he was thinking about how to reject him, so he quickly gave himself a step forward.

After the quarrel last night, Li Xindong sat on the ground and looked at the fragments of banknotes all over the ground for a long time.

In the end, he decided to leave this family! He wanted to work and make money! He wanted to repeat the school! He wanted to go to college!

After confirming that his parents were asleep, he quietly packed up his various documents, high school books and other important items in his suitcase.

When a glimmer of light appeared in the sky in the morning, he left the home with his suitcase, backpack, and bicycle.

But after leaving home, he suddenly found that he had no place to go.

If you go to a relative's house, your parents will definitely come over and catch them back soon. At the least, you will scold them, or at the worst, you will directly hit them until they surrender.

After one thought was rejected and one individual choice was excluded, the name that finally appeared in my mind was his old classmate and boss - Xu An!

Xu's fast food restaurant will not open to the public after 2:30 pm. Theoretically, as long as Xu An's permission is obtained, you can hide here.

My parents only knew that they were going to catch the fish in the afternoon, and they didn’t know that they were still working as a part-time rider at the Xu fast food restaurant, so the risk of exposure was very low.

But this request, whether it is made as a classmate or an employee, is a bit too presumptuous.

But now I have no choice but to do so.

"Can you tell me what happened?" Xu An did not agree directly, but did not refuse. He needed to know the specific situation before he could make a correct judgment.

Li Xindong looked at Xu An hesitated for a while, as if he had included Xu An in the ranks of people he could trust, and finally spoke out everything that happened recently.

After listening to Li Xindong's story, the thousands of words in Xu An's heart finally turned into a simple action. He reached out and patted Li Xindong on the shoulder.

"In the second floor of No. 3 Store, the owner of the fast food restaurant rested on it. There is a simple bathroom to solve personal hygiene needs. There is also the bedding I prepared for Kang Kanglele on the No. 1 Store, so you can use it first."

Before making this request, Li Xindong had simulated countless scenes of Xu An agreeing or rejecting in his mind, and had thought about how to convince Xu An, many words, but now all these preparations came in handy.

Li Xindong nodded, followed Xu An to move the bedding in the No. 1 store, and then went to No. 3 store to place his own things.

Looking at this extremely simple arrangement, Li Xindong couldn't help but curl up. He turned his head and looked at Xu An: "I will get up early tomorrow morning to help. You should treat me like a formal employee."

"Okay." Xu An did not refuse Li Xindong's request. At this time, only by agreeing to his request could he feel at ease.

Sometimes, the bowl of steaming noodle soup given by a stranger can repair the problems of those who leave their homes.

At this moment, the wounds that Li Xindong, which were invisible to the naked eye, were slowly healing.

After relocating Li Xindong, Xu An returned to the second floor of the No. 2 store to start counting inventory, registering all the goods that need to be supplemented, and contacting the supplier, Xu An finally calmed down from Li Xindong's incident.

He found himself as a safe haven in this life. In the last life, after encountering such a thing, how did he survive it alone? In the end, how did he develop into giving up repeating school and going to college and living completely according to the arrangements of his family.

Xu An is very glad that he can help in this life.

After all the work in hand was done, Xu An would close the doors and windows of the No. 2 store, return to the No. 1 store, and plan to lock the door and leave.

At this time, there was news from the No. 3 store next door. Then, Li Xindong changed outfit and came out of the No. 3 store and met Xu An.

Li Xindong was wearing a white T-shirt with a slightly yellowish and stained white on his upper body, and his lower body was a pair of high school uniform pants. His legs were tied in black stockings. He was wearing a pair of green liberating shoes on his feet. He used a strip of cloth to tie the shoes firmly from the sole to the upper, making him look like a fisherman's look.

While walking, you can see a bamboo-woven fish basket behind you. There are a few leaves stuck in the underconspicuous bottom of the fish basket. A green flat fruit is wrapped in the middle of the leaves. It is a mangrove fruit - olive money.

"Are you planning to go to sea?"

"Yes, after I usually send my lunch box, I would go to the beach to catch fish. Some fishmongers will collect this, and the price is quite high." Li Xindong was a little embarrassed as he said, and then he seemed to think of something and immediately added loudly: "I will clean my clothes and come back, so I won't dirty the store."

Jumping fish?

These three words are like a sharp claw that captures a vague fragment from the depths of Xu An's memory.

As I remember, three years later, when I was in my junior year, when I went home during the Spring Festival, I heard from Uncle Liang and the others that the village had a fish farming, and the income was pretty good.

Tiaotiao fish farming, mudflats, the mudflats in the southeast corner of Qianhai Town!

"Are you planning to go to the mudflat in the southeast corner of Qianhai Town?" Xu An asked tentatively.

"Yes." Li Xindong nodded: "I originally caught it in the north, but there are many people in the village there, so it is not easy for the villagers to know about this situation now."

"I'll go over and take a look with you." Xu An said excitedly.

Then, Xu An locked the door of the No. 1 store and rode an electric tricycle with Li Xindong and Li Xindong's bicycles on the car, heading towards the mudflats in the southeast corner of Qianhai Town.

Haiquan Beverage Company, Marketing Department Mid-month Meeting.

At the beginning of the month, at the meeting on August 1st, the marketing department manager set a grand goal of 100,000 cans in August.

It is mid-August now, and half a month has passed, and only 83,627 cans are missing from the ambitious goal of 100,000 cans.

This meeting was undoubtedly a critical meeting, asking everyone why they did not meet sales expectations? What went wrong? Why did more than 16,000 cans sold after half a month?

"You should take what I say to heart and take this matter seriously! The company has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on advertising, and 100,000 cans is just the basic goal. You can't even achieve the basic goal..."

After talking a lot, Liu Tong couldn't help but yawn.

It's so sleepy. It would be great if I could record a paragraph with my mobile phone. If I can't sleep at night, I will definitely have a great effect.

"Liu Tong, although your performance ranks first in the marketing department this month, you must have the responsibility of being the first place, and you must have the courage to stand up and bear greater responsibilities!"

Liu Tong, who was halfway through yawning, was suddenly called, and quickly closed his mouth and pretended to listen carefully.

"I saw a fast food restaurant you were in charge on the TV station yesterday. You can contact them more and strive to gain a wave of popularity in the second half of the month and sell 30,000 cans of apple cider vinegar. Can you do it?"

...

It is true that Xu's fast food restaurant has been on TV, but Haiquan apple cider vinegar has not appeared in a single shot. What is the popularity? Where can I get such a big face?

Although Liu Tong thought so in his heart, his words said: "Okay, I will contact Xu's fast food restaurant as soon as possible to make 30,000 cans sold by the end of the month!"

A warm applause suddenly erupted in the conference room.

After the meeting, Liu Tong sat back to the work station and found that QQ was shaking wildly. The avatar at the top happened to be from Xu's fast food restaurant.

‘Liu Tong, I will send you two hundred more cans every day from now on.’

Liu Tong read this message three or four times and was sure that he read it correctly. This was indeed a message from Xu's fast food restaurant.

There are two hundred cans per day, and three thousand cans per day in fifteen days.

Compared with 30,000 cans, this amount is indeed a drop in the bucket, but the mosquito legs are also meat!

Think about it seriously, I seem to have not been to Xu's fast food restaurant for a long time. Otherwise, I will go and have a look tomorrow, chat and make friends?

‘Okay, Boss Xu, now you will put your order to the factory and deliver it on time tomorrow.’
