From Now On, Call Store Manager Hua Xin
October.
The long seven-day National Day holiday has quietly passed by.
Those who should go to school should go to school, and those who should go to work should go to work.
Everyone has returned to the things they are most familiar with and most hate.
However, this also indicates that the first semester will soon be over.
For Hua Xin, there was nothing worth thinking about or reminiscing about. Although she didn't know what Lin Qingyu meant by simply smiling at her at the previous sports meet, she wouldn't delve into such matters anymore.
Perhaps she suddenly realized something and chose to let bygones be bygones? Or perhaps she gave up because she saw that there was absolutely no possibility of Xia Yan and she could break up?
In any case, that's all in the past now.
It was enough that Lin Qingyu didn't disturb their lives anymore.
Thinking about it carefully, Hua Xin had already taken her revenge, and all the previous things had come to a conclusion thanks to her courage.
After all, there's probably nothing more impactful than being able to kiss the man she desires most, right?
In fact, Hua Xin probably understands as well.
It's also possible that Lin Qingyu never liked Xia Yan at all, and that she was just like a child pointing at a toy on a store shelf and saying "I want it," which is the kind of mentality that parents feel compelled to have to buy for them.
What we can't have is what we want the most.
Considering that she had generously treated everyone to cake and coffee at the last "alliance gathering," Hua Xin, who wasn't one to hold grudges, naturally forgot about it.
If we happen to meet again in the future, maybe we can nod to each other?
However, these things are not important to Hua Xin.
For her, the time when everyone else is on holiday is the time to work overtime and be the busiest.
For those working in the service industry, the number of people they need to serve during holidays is far greater than the usual customer traffic.
Hua Xin only had three sentences to say.
It's packed.
It's packed.
It's still packed.
From the very edge of the building all the way to the game card area at the very back, people kept coming in. After a whole day, not only was Hua Xin exhausted, but the other employees, including Hachimi, also stopped grabbing their pants legs for cat treats after work and instead all lay on the floor and slept soundly.
As for why I'm so tired...
Therefore, there is only one answer.
Because Hua Xin has been promoted to store manager!!!
That's right, although there was almost a two-month gap in between.
The month after Xia Yan's birthday, around the end of September, Sister Li Xue excitedly told Hua Xin that she and Brother Shan Qing had successfully conceived. After a hospital check-up, the pregnancy was confirmed.
You could tell just how excited and happy Sister Li Xue was from the voice message she sent.
For a couple who have been together for over ten years, becoming parents is certainly something to celebrate and be happy about.
If they've come this far, it proves they're well-prepared.
Although there were no problems with work after the pregnancy, Brother Shan Qing seemed to have become a completely different person than usual, even his personality had changed.
The original Brother Shan Qing was supposed to be reserved, calm, and gentle. Although at first glance he might seem quiet, if you spend enough time with him, you'll realize that he's actually a very good person and husband.
In the past, Brother Shan Qing always spoiled Sister Li Xue and indulged her in everything...
Now...
If anything doesn't meet his "ideal of safety," Sister Li Xue will be forbidden from doing it.
For example, going back to work at the store.
Therefore, Hua Xin naturally became the only reliable person the store manager could entrust with the task.
Since no one was available to fill the kitchen position, and given Sister Li Xue's strong desire to return to the shop, Brother Shan Qing resolutely called Sister Li Xue's parents over.
In this situation, it's better to have his wife with her parents by her side. With them looking after her, Brother Shan Qing can also focus on managing the shop for Sister Li Xue.
Ke Hua Xin still remembers that Sister Li Xue told her about their past when they were traveling.
In fact, her father disliked Shan Qing and did not support their marriage.
Then came their car accident, during which Brother Shan Qing had to have his lower leg amputated while saving her, which finally resolved their past grievances.
Now that they have children of their own, the relationship between the older generation and their grandchildren should be much more harmonious.
Above.
With the store short-staffed, Hua Xin brought in Xia Fen, who was always running around and had no other work, to do the hard labor.
Of course, they get paid.
After all, I've worked as a cashier and order taker before, so I'll be more comfortable going back to my old job.
The lively National Day holiday has come to an end.
Hua Xin lay on top of Hachimi, scrolling through her phone and enjoying a rare moment of relaxation.
There weren't many customers in the shop. Brother Shan Qing was chatting on the phone with Sister Li Xue in the kitchen, and Xiao Fen went back to school after helping out.
The pace of life suddenly slowed down.
The difference in visitor numbers before and after the holiday is like night and day.
Looking at the various desserts and cakes on her phone, Hua Xin was unsure which one to buy, torn between matcha and strawberry cake.
Why don't we just buy both?
After being promoted to store manager, Hua Xin's salary naturally increased significantly. Now, if you include the few days she needs to take leave from school, she earns almost more in a month than Xia Yan.
Cat cafes have no competitors in a large area, and they also provide cat-petting and rest services, as well as food and beverage services, and even sell cat-related necessities, which account for the majority of their income.
The monthly profits were unexpectedly good.
However, it's also possible that because this is Shanghai, the expenses are high no matter what. If she were to come here on her own, Hua Xin would rather stay home and play Chun Qiu than spend money here.
Hua Xin, who rarely indulges in such extravagance, decided to buy both of the small cakes she wanted.
She skillfully opened the chat box with Xia Yan, a smile flashing in her eyes.
Shortly after Xia Yan's birthday, it will be her birthday.
Although both sides are well aware of the situation, it seems that coming every year is getting a bit tiresome.
But Hua Xin couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.
Tomorrow...
What kind of gift will Xia Yan give her?
Well...
If there are many "children", then forget it.
