"How to gain a foothold in Guquan Old Street is not up to me." Sister Shaoyao said.
“Who has the final say?” I asked.
“If your shop can be opened here for a hundred days, it will be barely able to gain a foothold.” Sister Shaoyao paused and said, “This shop at the end of the alley was three years old before you came. In the past month, there have been five boss changes. The one who has persisted the longest has been there since the opening. It’s only been a month since they closed. As for the other four, the last one has only been open for three days.”
“Since we have opened a store in Guquan Old Street, it is necessary to establish a foothold here. I can't even stand on my feet, how embarrassing would it be to spread the word?" I said.
"Now you think face is important, then you will understand that life is the most important thing." Sister Shaoyao said this to me in the end, and then turned around and left.
During the day, there were no people on Guquan Old Street. I sat in the calligraphy shop for a long time and didn’t receive a single order.
Song Xi called me when I was about to go out for lunch.
"We opened today, how is the business?" Song Xi asked me.
“There is no one there. This Guquan Old Street is not deserted like usual!” I said.
"Guquan Old Street is a ghost market. There are really no people during the day. Why don't you drive over and I'll treat you to lunch to congratulate you on the opening of your new store." Song Xi said.
There was no business anyway, so there was no point in staying in the store. Wouldn't it be nice to have lunch with Song Xi.
After hanging up the phone, I immediately drove the broken bread towards Song Xi's company.
I parked the car in the garage, took the elevator upstairs, and went directly to Song Xi's office.
“Dong dong dong!”
I wanted to push the door directly in, but the door to Song Xi’s office was locked, so I had to knock.
"Here we come!"
What came out from the office was Song Xi's gentle and sweet voice.
“Are you done?” I asked Song Xi.
"I'll change my clothes and go out." Song Xi said.
“Aren’t you just going down for lunch? Do you need to change clothes? Besides, your professional attire looks pretty good!”
I am speaking honestly. Song Xi's figure, paired with this black professional skirt, black silk stockings and high heels, are simply extremely tempting.
“Don’t think that I don’t know what you are thinking?” Song Xi gave me a roll of her eyes and said, “I go out to eat with you dressed like this, can your eyes be honest?”
"You are so good-looking, why don't you let others see you?" I asked.
"There is no one else in the office. It doesn't matter what you think of me. When I go out, there are so many people present. How embarrassing is that?" After Song Xi finished speaking, she went to the back room.
When she appeared again, the sexy professional skirt had turned into a youthful and sunny sportswear.
"This dress looks good." Although my eyes were still on Song Xi, my eyes at this time were obviously much simpler than before.
No wonder women like to change clothes so much. For the same person, changing clothes can really change the feeling!
"Your word-testing shop is opening today. Just tell me what you want to eat and I'll treat you." Song Xi said to me openly.
Song Xi had to go to work in the afternoon, so naturally she couldn't choose a place to have lunch too far away. The two of us found a Western restaurant near the office building and ate some steak, pasta and so on.
“I’ll give you something.” After she was almost done eating, Song Xi took out a business card from her bag and handed it to me.
I took the business card and looked at it, and found that there was only a mobile phone number on it and nothing else.
"Why do you give me this?" I looked at Song Xi with some confusion and asked.
"The owner of this mobile phone number is called Mr. Yan. It is not easy to establish a foothold in Guquan Old Street. When necessary, you can call this number and just say my name." Song Xi paused After a pause, he said: "This is my life-saving straw for you, but I still hope that you can solve it on your own and don't make this call easily."
"I understand." I said.
"It's getting late. I have to go back to work, so I won't see you off. Just drive back by yourself!" Song Xi smiled slightly and said, "I believe in you, not only in Guquan but also in Guquan. The old street has a foothold, and it can still be there, making Xinsheng Pavilion a golden sign.”
I sent Song Xi to the elevator, and after she went upstairs, I went to the garage.
When we returned to Guquan Old Street, it was just two o'clock in the afternoon. The whole street was still deserted. When passing by Sanji Pawn, I took a look into the store and saw that Sister Shaoyao was not there. I don’t know where she had gone.
I went back to the calligraphy shop. Since there were no customers, I could only take out the ancient books passed down to me by Master and study them carefully there.
“What are you doing?”
Sister Shaoyao is here. She is still wearing a cheongsam, but the color has been changed. Today's outfit is light pink. Her skin was already fair and tender, and when she matched it with this pink cheongsam, she instantly transformed from a beautiful young woman to a girl.
"It's only been half a day, Sister Shaoyao, you've become several years younger all of a sudden!" I joked with a smile.
“Your little mouth is really sweet!” Sister Shaoyao walked in with a smile and sat on the chair I prepared for the guests.
Just sitting down, Sister Shaoyao actually crossed her legs. The slit of her cheongsam was already a bit high, but when Erlang's legs were raised like this, the slit of her cheongsam was naturally completely separated! The white thighs were suddenly exposed.
Although I can't see the innermost things from my perspective, the picture in front of me is still very mouth-watering.
"Sister Shaoyao, do you want to test your words again?" I quickly diverted my attention and said with a playful smile: "We've been open for most of the day and haven't made a single business, how about Sister Shaoyao? Take care of me again?”
"You opened this calligraphy shop just to make money from me? Sister, my pawn shop hasn't been open for more than half a month. Why don't you go take care of my business first?" Sister Shaoyao gave me a look and asked. : "Are you free tonight?"
As soon as I opened my mouth, I asked if I was free tonight. What is Sister Shaoyao doing? Am I thinking wrongly, or am I overthinking?
"What do you want to do?" I asked.
"At eight o'clock in the evening, go to the pawn shop to find me." After Sister Shaoyao said that, she stood up, twisted her buttocks, and went out without asking me if I agreed.
Sister Shaoyao won’t be interested in me, right? Although I still look a little handsome, I'm not so handsome that women want to knock me down when they see me!
No matter what, since Sister Shaoyao has made an appointment with me, I still have to go there tonight.
I have been sitting there all afternoon, but I still haven’t received a single order. After going out to have dinner, it gradually got dark and the time came to 19:30.
Sister Shaoyao asked me to go at eight o'clock. I sat in the shop for a while and made a cup of tea. At 7:55, I went out.
“You really did it right!”
As soon as I stepped through the door of Sanji Pawn, Sister Shaoyao said this to me.
Tonight, Sister Shaoyao changed her cheongsam into black. Paired with that bright red lip gloss, she not only looked more mature, but also a lot more charming.
"How dare I not abide by the time Sister Shaoyao said!"
As I said this, I looked around with my peripheral vision. Except for Sister Shaoyao, there was no one else in the shop. Could it be that my previous guess was correct, that Sister Shaoyao really fell in love with me and wanted to do something to me?
"What are you looking at? Are you afraid that there is a ghost in my shop?" Sister Shaoyao asked me.
"Isn't Guquan Old Street a ghost market? Besides, there is a shop selling ghosts there! It's quite scary if a ghost sneaks in this late at night," I said.
"Ghosts are not that scary. They come for no reason and will not harm anyone." Sister Shaoyao walked to the coffee table and said, "Come and sit."
"Are you going to invite me to tea?" I asked. .
"There is someone who wants to see you tonight. You have to cherish the opportunity. Only if you seize it can your calligraphy test shop be successful. If you can't seize it and you can't survive tonight, you Then the calligraphy shop must close." When Sister Shaoyao said this, she looked very serious. In other words, she probably wasn't kidding me. "Who wants to see me?" I asked curiously.
