Chapter 120 The Corner Coffee Shop
Cai Zhiliang and Cai Minghe went downstairs and saw Han Tong.
"Mr. Cai, that lady has been waiting for a while."
Following the direction pointed by Han Tong, Cai Zhiliang saw Huo Xinxin, sitting alone by the window, drinking tea and looking at the street under the last glow.
At this moment, Huo Xinxin also noticed Cai Zhiliang, got up and walked over quickly.
"Brother Aliang..." When she got closer, Huo Xinxin saw Cai Minghe, whom she had met before. She followed Cai Zhiliang and called him, "Third Uncle."
Cai Minghe looked at the little girl in front of him. She had a kind face, but he couldn't tell whose family she belonged to, so he looked at Cai Zhiliang who was standing aside.
"It's my former neighbor, Uncle Huo's family." Cai Zhiliang didn't know if he made it clear, so he added: "Repulse Bay."
"Yuntian's daughter is so old." Cai Minghe remembered that Huo Yuntian's daughter had just entered middle school, so he could only sigh.
Huo Xinxin just smiled and said nothing.
Cai Zhiliang then asked: "Where is the friend you asked to go with? Can't you find it at Bao Zhilin?"
"No, when all the people over there were gone, I didn't see Shanshan." Huo Xinxin was a little disappointed, the place was not big, so she just got separated, and said: "I called Shanshan's home and said she was coming here.
I haven’t gone back yet.”
Cai Zhiliang said: "Then have you called home? Maybe she has called your home too."
"I'll go and ask right away."
Cai Minghe looked at Huo Xinxin who was running towards the counter, and then looked at Cai Zhiliang on the side. He wanted to ask what was going on, but when his words came to his mouth, he turned into: "I have to go, you will see off Yuntian's daughter later, she is like this
It’s too late.”
Cai Minghe drove here by himself, and the car was parked at the door. After Cai Minghe left, Cai Zhiliang was about to walk back to the teahouse, but saw Huo Xinxin already coming out.
"Third uncle is gone?"
"Ajie's grandfather is still in the hospital. He has to rush there." Cai Zhiliang explained and asked, "Have you contacted your friend?"
Huo Xinxin nodded and said, "Well, she called my home for more than an hour. If she can't be found, she told me not to wait for her."
"Where did she go?" Cai Zhiliang thought about the film and television base. It was very big, but only such a small area was built, so she wouldn't be missing.
"My brother answered the call and said he was going to the Clearwater Bay studio of Shaw Brothers."
"Since I've made it clear, let's ignore her." Cai Zhiliang pointed to his car and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back."
After getting into the car, Huo Xinxin didn't know what to call Pata, so she said to Cai Zhiliang: "My mother is over there in Causeway Bay."
"Pata, go to Causeway Bay." The Huo family also has their own residence in Causeway Bay.
It was getting late, it was time to get off work, and before we entered the boundary of Causeway Bay, we were stuck on the road.
"Find a place to park." Cai Zhiliang ordered, and then said to Huo Xinxin: "Come on, let's go eat first."
"Okay." After Pata parked the car, Huo Xinxin opened the door and walked out.
Cai Zhiliang patted the driver's seat and said, "You park the car first, and I'll tell you where to eat later."
After saying that, Cai Zhiliang took his eldest brother out of the car. Walking more than 20 meters forward, there was an overpass leading to the opposite side, which was just right to bypass the traffic jam ahead.
Huo Xinxin asked as she walked: "What should we eat?"
This was the ultimate problem. Cai Zhiliang asked: "What do you want to eat?"
"I don't know either." Huo Xinxin thought for a while and then said, "I want to eat everything."
"Then think slowly, there is still time." Cai Zhiliang pointed to the brightly lit place ahead and said, "If you still can't figure it out when you get there, just eat whatever you encounter."
"How can I be so casual after finally coming out?" Huo Xinxin asked deliberately: "Are you worried about money?"
"How is that possible?" Cai Zhiliang said disdainfully: "Then think about it carefully, and we will eat whatever comes to mind."
"That's pretty much it." Huo Xinxin looked around, not knowing what she was looking for.
Eating is the easiest and most difficult thing. After picking and choosing, you find that the original one is better, so you can only go back and go back.
Cai Zhiliang stopped in front of a coffee shop. The sign on the side said "Coffee Shop on the Corner", which still sounded like a literary youth.
Seeing Cai Zhiliang stop, Huo Xinxin tilted her head and looked inside, asking, "Do you want to drink coffee?"
Cai Zhiliang pointed to this store and said, "This is my cousin's store. It was opened by Zhao Zhiqiang. Do you remember it?"
"That eldest cousin of yours?" Every time Huo Xinxin calls him, Cai Zhiliang always feels uncomfortable. After all, there are only eldest brothers and younger brothers, not older brothers and younger brothers. Therefore, "little" should be added before cousin, and only before cousin.
Add "big".
"Yes." Cai Zhiliang nodded helplessly, pointed to the sign beside the door, and said, "I don't know how I got such a name."
"What's wrong with this name?" Huo Xinxin looked at it carefully and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She said, "I think it's pretty good. It's very romantic."
"Really?" Cai Zhiliang said with a smile: "I suggested to him before that we call John's Restaurant after his surname. If you want to be more domineering, you can call it John Stone's Restaurant."
"Don't mention your taste." Huo Xinxin curled her lips with disdain and said, "Let's go and see if your eldest cousin is here."
The two walked straight into the coffee shop and came to the counter, but did not see Zhao Zhiqiang. Cai Zhiliang could only ask the waiter, "Where is your boss?"
"Our boss went to the branch on the stage. How can I help you?" Maybe it's because he's used to it, but it seems that Zhao Zhiqiang is doing pretty well.
"Thank you." Cai Zhiliang naturally had nothing to do, so he left with Huo Xinxin.
Huo Xinxin said: "Business is quite good. We can even open branches, and it seems that there are more than one branch."
"I'm not sure. I came here once when I was looking at the store with him." Cai Zhiliang said: "In the middle of the year, I suggested that he open a branch, but he was still unwilling. Now it seems that he has figured it out."
"This is how business is done. As long as you can make money, you will naturally want to make more money." Huo Xinxin looked old-fashioned. After noticing Cai Zhiliang's strange look, she said: "This is what my mother told my brother.
"
At the beginning, Zhao Zhiqiang wanted to make freshly ground coffee, and he even gave it a literary name like "The Coffee Shop on the Corner", which was just as Huo Xinxin described it before, with a romantic color.
But as time goes by, I naturally know that Hong Kong is not easy. Cai Zhiliang just looked at it and found that it was already instant coffee. He also provided pizza, steak and desserts to guests. He was gradually getting closer. Maybe he had once made it.
The Starbucks I once despised is gradually drifting away.
Cai Zhiliang nodded in agreement and said, "What Auntie said makes perfect sense."
"whee……"
