Chapter 38
Ji Cen'an really went to work, and went to the store in the morning to carry out the necessary "training" for entry.
To put it bluntly, it is to go there to do odd jobs and assign tasks.
Counting her and Chen Qirui, including the store manager who applied for them, there are only four employees in this beverage store.One more person is a student of our school, currently working part-time, responsible for the morning shift, which does not coincide with Ji Cen'an's shift.
Since it is a store that has just entered the campus, and it is also during the summer vacation, the business in the beverage store is relatively sluggish, and there are not many customers throughout the day.
There is only one serious barista in the store, which is the manager himself, and the other three are novices.
Jiang Tian, who was supposed to come here together, didn't come. He went into the school laboratory and has no time recently.
Compared with Ji Cen'an and the students who don't know anything, Chen Qirui is pretty good. He learned a lot of drink making skills in the few days before he joined the job. He got started quickly and has a solid foundation. The store manager favors it.
Ji Cen'an was slower, but it was actually okay, not too bad.
That student is the most inefficient employee, always unable to learn, can't make anything according to the ingredients list, and it's useless to fiddle with it for a long time, it's a waste of ingredients and energy.
But even so, the store manager didn't do much, he didn't get angry, he didn't scold at all, he just said to Ji Cen'an and Chen Qirui: "The two of you will come on top later, if you don't know how to make drinks, you can go outside to order, here Not many people are needed."
Mostly it is not a store opened with its own money, so it doesn't matter the cost of employment, and it seems that it doesn't care much.
In addition, in terms of dress code, all employees in the store are required to tie their hair, unify their jackets and hats, and in order to achieve corresponding hygienic conditions, they are also required to wear masks.
The store manager emphasized this point emphatically, and repeatedly asked, saying: "There is air-conditioning in the store, and the room is not hot. I hope everyone can abide by it. It will be done during the working hours."
This is quite suitable for Ji Cen'an, she planned to continue to wear a hat to cover it up, so as not to make mistakes, but it turned out that this was the rigid rule in the store.
She glanced at the store manager, and her eyes passed by his face, without any objection or opinion.
Chen Qirui and the students also agreed to accept it, and didn't care much about these details.
This job is leisurely and far easier than the previous ones.
Two guests came after one o'clock, and the rest of the afternoon was basically empty. Occasionally, one or two orders would be taken away, but such a small profit could not even cover the cost, and it was barely enough for the air-conditioning fee.
It can be seen that the boss behind the scenes is indeed rich and has no place to use it. Finding such a remote place to do business is a typical feeling of losing money and making money.
However, this has nothing to do with Ji Cen'an, the part-time worker has nothing to do with it, and he can't control his hard work.
Didn't get much rest last night, and got up early this morning, Ji Cen'an's lips were a little pale, his mouth was dry, and he liked to ignore everyone.She didn't seem to be in a good mood, and the expression on her face was a bit stinky, which was strange for no reason.
Chen Qirui found out in the morning, and felt that she was upset, so she held back her energy, but didn't ask, until now she was free, and then knocked on the table, and asked puzzledly: "I've been pulling my face since I came here, who messed with you?" gone?"
Ji Cen'an sat on the high stool behind the bar and said in a deep voice, "No."
Chen Qirui stared at her in disbelief.
"Really?"
Not wanting to talk about personal matters, Ji Cen'an replied: "No one messed with me, I didn't sleep well last night, I was a little sleepy."
Chen Qirui wiped the glass and said, "Didn't you not go to work two days ago, what did you stay up so late, and something happened again?"
Ji Cen'an denied it, and it was impossible to tell him without telling the truth.
Chen Qirui was also annoying, Xu felt that he was familiar with her, so he started chattering, talked about something, mentioned Zhou's family, said that a relative of A Chong's family came to visit A Chong's mother in the city, and would be here Stay for a while, and help take care of the elderly and children by the way.
That's better than taking care of them. The elders are more experienced, and acquaintances of the same age can also chat with A Chong's mother.
Same as the previous few times, Chen Qirui remained silent, ignoring the conflict between Ji Cen'an and Guo Jinyun, not talking about it.
He knew the pseudonym Ji Cen'an used, and probably understood that her experience was not simple, but he couldn't interfere with it, and he knew it would be useless to ask, and Ji Cen'an didn't know how to speak, so he didn't say a word.
What's more, after going to the police station for mediation, Guo Jinyun didn't show up again, and disappeared out of thin air. Chen Qirui and the others' lives returned to calm, and many secrets disappeared.
Ji Cen'an was extremely perfunctory, he didn't say a word after listening for a while, and concentrated on doing things, cleaning up the drinking machine by himself.
It's not that he was angry with Chen Qirui and vented his anger on the other party. His attitude was actually okay, but he was reluctant to speak up. He suppressed it in his heart and didn't blame others.
After the night of last night, the silence has cooled down now, and some things gradually spread to the chest.
She and Nanjia are getting more and more involved, more and more inseparable, and now they seem to be getting what they need... To be precise, it has been these few times.What happened last night was not easing the relationship. Nanga did not treat her as an inseparable person. It was more like seeing those intimacy as comfort and consolation. In addition, the means are limited to specific circumstances.
Nanjia came back to look for Ji Cen'an, and went to the second floor of the villa in the middle of the night. That had nothing to do with love, it was two different things.
Emotional inclination and body cannot be confused, there is a huge difference, there is a gap of thousands of miles between them, and the gap cannot be crossed.
Ji Cen'an knew it well, but he didn't mind it, but after the alcohol went down, he would be empty, not as free and easy as before.
In the past, she didn't care who Nanjia loved, and paid attention to the results. She didn't care if she got this person. It was acceptable for Xu Xingjian or any man to appear in Nanjia's life. Anyway, Nanjia belonged to her in her heart, and it was the fact.What has changed now, it is clear that Xu Xingjian has not had a strong sense of presence recently, and he has not even appeared beside Nanjia, but the feeling is different.
Maybe it was due to his dignity, or maybe it was something else, Ji Cen'an couldn't say, but he was a little depressed anyway.
The whole person is quite twisted, unable to let go, as if bound inside.
Last night was the result of the indulgence of the two. They caused it themselves, and it was Ji Cen'an who took the initiative, while Nanjia was the one who suffered, and belonged to the passive side.
Logically speaking, the control is in Ji Cen'an's hands, but she can't control the development of the situation, and she will leave first after waking up this morning, cooking porridge before leaving, and doing some unreasonable behaviors.
It should be dealt with coldly, or as nothing.
Ji Cen'an took a glass of water, put half of ice cubes in it, picked it up and took a sip, lowered his eyes, distractedly asked Chen Qirui: "Do you want to drink?"
Chen Qirui doesn't want it, he has no luck accepting her overtures.
"Go to the toilet, you have a look." Chen Qirui said, seeing that she was restless, he saw that she didn't want to be questioned, so he left the situation to her and found an excuse to smoke in the men's bathroom.
Not to expose his little trick, Ji Cen tried to stay clean, and continued to stay in the corner, grabbing a handkerchief to wipe the bar after a while.
There is no difficulty in the new job, and I can adapt to it in a day.
In the evening, the business is even more deserted, so the store manager simply closes an hour earlier to let the employees go back early.
Ji Cen'an and Chen Qirui left together, walked out of the school, and went to the old street with two bus stops to see A Chong.
The newly rented house of A Chong's family is in the old street, and they are also rented together with Chen Qirui. They live in an old-style low-rise building with three rooms and a small yard outside. There is no bathroom, so you can only carry the bucket into the toilet to make do.
Ji Cen'an was not curious why Chen Qirui rented a place with his mother and son, so he had to ask for trouble.
After walking around empty-handed, Ji Cen'an didn't sit still after entering the door. After a while, Ji Cen'an got up and left, and took the last bus back to Beiyuan.
Unlucky tonight, not peaceful enough.
While waiting for the bus on the side of the street, a strange tail followed nearby.
Ji Cen'an was highly alert and knew that there were bodyguards following him, but Ke also keenly sensed that there were other eyes hiding.
The bodyguard behind the scenes was quite professional, but it might be that guarding Ji Cen'an for a whole day was too much energy, and the other party didn't notice something was wrong.
The bodyguard pretended to be a passer-by who was also waiting for the bus, and leaned against the bus stop sign, looking like an ordinary citizen, not worth noting.
It's a pity that the stalker who didn't show up must have guessed his identity, and he has already seen it.
Ji Cen'an pretended to touch the phone and flicked it around, looking around from the corner of his eye.
No suspicious traces were seen, and there was no one else here except her and the bodyguards.
Maybe it's an illusion, too nervous, thinking too much.
Regardless of whether she was followed or not, the other party never appeared, and he stopped following her afterwards.
The bus stopped by the side of the road, and only Ji Cen'an and the bodyguards got on it.
Halfway through the car ride, Ji Cen'an went down and drove halfway to be on the safe side, throwing away all those who followed him, and then took a taxi again.
Even the bodyguards are not allowed to follow, and no one is trusted.
It was almost 10:30 when I returned to the villa, Nanga still kept it, working overtime in the study, processing the company's documents.
The bowl of porridge I cooked this morning is gone, and the kitchen is empty.
I don't know if he drank it or emptied the trash can, but Ji Cen'an didn't care and went upstairs directly.
On the coffee table on the second floor, there is a ready-made item.
The list of guests to be invited to the old lady's birthday banquet is impressively placed there, and it is clear at a glance when you walk up to it.
Ji Cen'an put down his satchel and looked at it unconsciously.
Pei Shaoyang's name was in the front row, and Guo Jinyun was also there.
There are also some old acquaintances, her former cronies.And, the boss that Pei Shaoyang wanted to approach was also among them.
Next to the list, there is also a pass card.
The one prepared for Ji Cen'an, the photo does not match her, but the facial expressions are similar, and the name is "Jiang Can".
With this card, Ji Cen'an can come in and out of the villa at will as a "staff" when he holds a banquet at the Nan family's private villa next week.
Ji Cen'an was startled, and picked up the access card.
Subconsciously, she frowned, unable to figure out what Nanjia was thinking.
After finishing all the work, Nanga came up.
Ji Cen'an sat there, waiting for her.
His eyes swept over the man's face, Nanjia Shi suddenly walked to the bed, ready to change clothes.
"It's late," Nanjia said, taking off his coat, as if he knew Ji Cen'an's movements tonight, but regardless of the reason, he seemed not to know that Ji Cen'an went to A Chong's place, and said in a normal tone, " Half an hour late."
Throwing the card back on the table, looking at the list, Ji Cen'an said, "I went to Beichuan Road after get off work."
Don't lie, just trick.
If you can't hide it, the bodyguard will tell Nanjia.
After taking off the inner lining and letting her hair hang down her waist, Nanga picked up the nightgown folded on the bedside.
Due to the back-to-back posture, the front cannot be seen. From the rear angle, all that can be seen is the slender waist, the large twisted and blooming tattoos on the back of the waist, and the clear and eye-catching spine groove in the middle.
"Who did you meet, and which friend?" Nanjia asked softly, bending down, then straightened up a moment later, and turned her body sideways.
The lights were blinding, illuminating the whole room brightly.
Taking all the scene over there and Nanjia's movements and changes into his eyes clearly, Ji Cen'an saw a little, and then turned his eyes away and didn't look much.
Without the momentum of last night, he restrained a lot.
"Go and have a look...Xiaoyu, with Chen Qirui." Ji Cen'an said, avoiding talking about A Chong, intentionally omitting it.
I didn't see A Chong tonight. Only relatives and Xiaoyu were in the bungalow. A Chong was guarding the patients in the hospital and couldn't leave.
Hearing Ji Cen'an's evasion, Nanjia didn't mind, put on the nightgown slowly, and closed it loosely, but didn't fasten the straps, walked in front of her, with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said softly: " Ji Cen'an, help me with..."
