Chapter 383 Greetings
It wasn't until September 12th that Jiang Feng finally paid off all the eight-treasure chestnut pigeons.
Also on the same day, Ji Xia, who had been away from home for nearly three months, was finally captured, no, I should say found, through the joint operation of Ji Xue, Ji Xue's uncle and the police.
Since Ji Xue had always contacted Ji Yue unilaterally, and Ji Yue was sent out by Comrade Wang Xiulian to hand over materials that day, Jiang Feng didn't even get a second-hand message. What he got was Ji Xue telling Ji Yue, and Ji Yue telling Zhang Guanghang. , Zhang Guanghang then relayed it to the third-hand man who didn’t know how much of it was the truth.
Lunch break is a good time for everyone to gather together and eat melon.
Ji Xia's kid who ran away from home has been the focus of heated discussions in the kitchen of Tai Feng House recently. After all, Ji Xia will not return to his job until Ji Xia is found.
Without a colleague, the chef, who had already worked well together, seemed to be missing a part, and he always felt uncomfortable when doing work. Everyone was like this when Sun Jikai first returned to Jubao Tower. People from Shuitai and Dahe often looked for Sun Jikai everywhere, always thinking that he was still in Taifeng Tower.
"So, Ji Xia took the 200 yuan Ji Xue gave her to buy clothes during the Chinese New Year, bought a ticket to FZ, and then went to work in a clothing factory." Jiang Feng ate the watermelon brought from the cold dish table and made A real melon-eating crowd.
The only thing about this thing that surprised Jiang Feng was that the place where Ji Xia ran away from home was actually a clothing factory, rather than other places that would shock people. A mediocre work unit like a clothing factory is really not suitable for Ji Xia. This kind of character is a real and fake college-style delinquent girl who ran away from home.
"There should be clothing factories everywhere, why do you have to go to FZ?" Sang Ming expressed confusion and ate a piece of mango.
"Is it because the wages in the clothing factory at FZ are high?" Tangtang was successfully led away from her thoughts by Sang Ming, holding half a piece of cantaloupe in her hand and lost in thought.
"Actually, if a young girl works part-time, the salary at a coffee shop should be higher. If it's more advanced, customers will give tips." A knowledgeable employee said.
"In that kind of place, appearance is more important. Good-looking people will get higher wages."
"Yes, a high school classmate of mine studied hotel management. She is tall and good-looking. When she was still in college, she went to work in a star hotel in Shanghai during the summer vacation. Her monthly salary plus tips was more than 30,000 yuan." Zhang Weiyu nodded. He agreed and picked a piece of apple.
"The salary of our store's waiters is also very high. Some customers also give tips. The salary of the waiters in the lobby may be more than 10,000 yuan a month, which is much higher than our salary." A water station employee was a little sour at this time.
"If you were a cook on the stove plus commission, your salary would definitely be high." Sang Ming replied on Jiang Feng's behalf.
Seeing that the topic was getting more and more off-topic and even getting a bit heated, Jiang Feng hurriedly started to lead the conversation: "Then Ji Xia, the kid, will probably get a beating if he is taken back this time."
Wu Minqi began to echo Jiang Feng's rhythm: "I must beat him, but I don't know if Ah Xue will be able to do it."
"What's wrong with this? I ran away from home for more than three months. My parents would probably hang me up and beat me."
"Yes, the main reason is that not leaving any information makes the family worried too much. It's time to call."
"In this way, Ji Xue should be back in two days, right?"
"That's great. I haven't eaten dry-fried beef river for a long time. I really want to eat it now."
"Why don't you just let her take charge of the staff meals when she comes back? Even if it's her turn, you should let her take it easy. It's very troublesome to go out to find people and worry about it. No matter what, you have to let Ji Xue rest for two days, what do you think? Just bear with it, it won’t take more than two days.”
Everyone chatted about Ji Xue-related things. Jiang Feng saw that the purpose of the tea party had been achieved. Everyone also understood that Ji Xue's search for a girl was progressing and that Ji Xue's return date could be determined, so he calmly shut up and said nothing. Everyone chatted and ate melon quietly.
After Jiang Feng finished a plate of watermelon and Wu Minqi finished chewing an apple, the internet-addicted young man Zhang Guanghang finally took his eyes off the phone for a moment, glanced at Jiang Feng, and sent him a message.
Zhang Guanghang: Orchid is back.
Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi looked at each other, knowing that the other party had received the message from Zhang Guanghang, and found an opportunity to sneak away quietly.
Some insignificant melons can be shared with everyone, but some more important melons can only be hidden and eaten secretly by oneself. Jiang Feng, a newly minted melon-eating boy, and Wu Minqi, who has been professionally eating melons for 30 years, know the secrets of this.
Ji Yue came back covered in sweat under the scorching sun. The place where she went to hand in the documents and get the seals stamped was quite remote. She went there in the morning and only came back now. It was early September, the time when Qiu Huhu was showing off his last remaining power. The sun was blazing and the temperature was so high that even Ji Yue was wearing her own thin skirt and was sweating all over.
As soon as she entered the door, Ji Yue bumped into Jiang Feng and three others who were waiting at the door to eat.
"I'm going to change my clothes first, and then put on my makeup. It's so hot today that I'm sweating so much that my makeup has come off. You guys go upstairs and find a private room and sit down first. I have something to tell you." Ji Yue said The words mean that she has something to share with everyone.
Maybe it was because the temperature was too high and Ji Yue was doing errands outside. People like Jiang Feng, who had never touched cosmetics, could tell that Ji Yue's makeup had come off.
"Let's go upstairs and wait for you. Do you want something to drink?" Zhang Guanghang asked.
"Sour plum soup." Ji Yue hurriedly walked to the dressing room. She was afraid that if she moved any slower, her eyeliner would be blurred by sweat, and her face would be irreparable by then.
Since Ji Yue's financial situation has not been very good in the past year, her new eyeliner is a bargain she bought on a certain store during Double Eleven last year. If she is not careful, her eyes will blur into panda eyes. Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi I have witnessed it with my own eyes many times.
Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi walked upstairs, and Zhang Guanghang went to pour sour plum soup for Ji Yue. Wu Minqi walked side by side beside Jiang Feng, recalling Ji Yue's expression just now.
"I think Ah Yue was very serious when she said that just now. Does she really have something to tell us?" Wu Minqi looked thoughtful.
"It should be fine. Now everyone has found the biggest problem and has solved it. It will be fine." Jiang Feng analyzed calmly.
Wu Minqi thought it made sense, so she stopped asking any more questions.
The three of them randomly found a private room near the stairs and opened the door so that Ji Yue could quickly find them when she came up after finishing her makeup. The three of them played with each other on their phones in the box in silence for about 10 minutes, before Ji Yue walked in and closed the door.
"How is Ji Xue doing now?" Jiang Feng felt that as a boss, his first thing was to care about his employees.
"It should be fine. I didn't hear anything wrong when I called her." Ji Yue walked to the table, picked up the sour plum soup, took a sip, and sat down, "The main reason is that she has something she wants to discuss with you. .”
"Discuss?"
"About her sister Ji Xia, you all probably know that Ji Xia's academic performance is not good, and she actually didn't score many points in the high school entrance examination. Even if she didn't miss the registration time, she wouldn't be able to go to high school. So what Ji Xia should do now has become the biggest problem in her family. problem." Ji Yue said, "Axue's idea is to bring Ji Xia to our place and live with me. I don't have any problem, but after all, the house we live in is a staff dormitory, so of course we still have to go through it. Boss Jiang, you agree.”
"Even if Ah Xue brings her sister here, we all have to work and no one can take care of her. What will happen to her sister?" Wu Minqi asked.
"Axue didn't say it, but I feel like she didn't think about it herself." Ji Yue smiled bitterly, "But how can I put it, I think this is the best way that Axue can think of. If I leave Ji Xia here At home, Axue’s mother has to take care of her father, so she probably doesn’t have much time to spare. As for Ji Xia, no one can stop her from running away from home if she finds another opportunity. Who can guess the thoughts of adolescent children? Not to mention that A Xue doesn't get along with Ji Xia very well. I have been fighting with my brother since we were young. I can’t figure out what my brother is thinking right now.”
"There is no problem in bringing people here. I will talk to my parents and grandpa and they will definitely agree. But we can't keep Ji Xia at home. Whether we let her continue studying or let her go out to learn a trade, we have to Find something for her to do," Jiang Feng said.
"I can introduce my tutor back then to Ji Xue." Zhang Guanghang began to make devilish remarks.
Ji Yue:......
"I think based on Ji Xia's high school entrance examination results, she is probably unwilling to continue studying. It's better to let her learn a craft to support herself in the future." Ji Yue felt that if Ji Xue really went to find a tutor to make up for Ji Xia, Ji Xia would probably be Will run away from home.
Besides, the cost of hiring a tutor these days is so high, Ji Xue most likely cannot afford it.
"It's better for Axue to decide this kind of thing. After all, it's a family matter and we can't get involved." Wu Minqi smiled, "I think it's better for Axue to bring her sister over. It's better to bring the little girl out to see the world." It’s better to stay at home.”
"When will Ji Xue come back?" Jiang Feng asked.
"The day after tomorrow, she said she had to go home first." Ji Yue said.
The melon-eating time was over, and the four people took out their mobile phones one after another to start the most common entertainment activity among contemporary young people. They did not speak when they met, and just lowered their heads to play with their mobile phones.
Even if you are a couple, you have to play with your mobile phone.
"Oh, right." Ji Yue suddenly looked up, took off her headphones, and broke away from the plot of the TV series.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, but I think I need to tell you." Ji Yue looked at Jiang Feng, "Didn't I call Sun Jikai to help me before? Axue also met Sun Jikai in the past few days, and she told me Grandpa Sun Jikai seems to be ill and in hospital. I remember that you and Grandpa Sun are quite familiar. Do you want to send a greeting via WeChat? "
Jiang Feng:...
He doesn’t have Sun Guanyun’s WeChat account.
He didn't even know if Sun Guanyun had WeChat.
"Grandpa Sun is sick and hospitalized?" Wu Minqi raised her head, "Is it serious?"
"I don't know about this. Axue just told me about it." Ji Yue shook her head, "But it should be quite normal for an elderly person to go to the hospital if he has a headache or a fever. Have you had the flu recently?"
"Fengfeng, do you want to send a WeChat message to ask Sun Jikai?" Wu Minqi looked at Jiang Feng.
"Well, I'll send him a WeChat message later to ask him." Jiang Feng nodded. He felt that it was still necessary to send a WeChat message to show concern, even if it was just out of a junior's concern for his elders. (End of chapter)
