struggle in a small town

Chapter 156 Is It Too Much?
The express delivery was out of service, and Zhang Xuejiao gave everyone salaries and bonuses to let the girls go back for the New Year.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Ting would not come back this year.

Zhang Xuejiao ran to her dormitory and wanted to ask why, but Zuo Ting said that she would work non-stop when she went back, so she might as well rest here for a few days.

Zhang Xuejiao didn't persuade her either.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and she is an outsider, so she is not qualified to say anything.

Zuo Ting took a day off and called Zhang Xuejiao, saying that the clothing store was still open, and she wanted to help look after the store so that others could go home.

Zhang Xuejiao asked Zuo Ting with a smile if she felt bored, but she said she wanted to make more money.

Zhang Xuejiao couldn't be dealt with.

Originally, she planned to look after the store by herself.

The two of them had been busy in the store for a whole day, and when the off-duty bell rang at seven o'clock, Zhang Xuejiao was in a daze, and turned to look at Zuo Ting: "Year after year, we are still the two of us."

"Yes."

After experiencing so many things, Zuo Ting has matured a lot.

When the door was locked, Zuo Ting suddenly said, "Sister Jiao, let me treat you to dinner."

"How can you ask the employees to invite the boss to dinner?" Zhang Xuejiao stretched out her arm and held her arm: "The food outside is not good, so go, I'll make it for you when you go back."

Zuo Ting hasn't been to Zhang Xuejiao's house for a long time.

When I entered the door, except for some things piled up in the corner of the living room, the house was still the same as before, and even the place where the photo was taken had not changed.

When cooking, Zuo Ting helped and asked casually, "Brother Lin, won't you come back for dinner?"

"He's busy. It's ten o'clock when he comes back."

"It's Chinese New Year and you're still so busy?"

Zhang Xuejiao was busy with her hands, and she didn't delay in chatting: "It's winter vacation, the playground business is booming, and the roller skating hall is full every day."

Although Zuo Ting lived in the expansion center, she rarely went to the business area, and she didn't know much about the situation there.

She was quite puzzled: "Isn't there a playground in the mall?"

"It's expensive!" Zhang Xuejiao put the cut vegetables on the plate: "The children's playground starts at 50, and the ocean ball pool costs at least 20, right? Our two-way play is only 30 in total, and it's cheaper to apply for a card. The heating is sufficient, and the Internet It’s fast, there’s food and drink, and you can charge your phone.”

Zuo Ting let out a "huh".

Zhang Xuejiao turned around: "After the new year, there are still a few arenas to be built, and you can play too."

"Really?" Zuo Ting's eyes lit up: "I'm pretty good at table tennis."

"Then you are amazing, I can't even see the ball clearly, not at all."

In the midst of gossip, a meal is finished.

During dinner, Lin Zhiyuan called and said that he came back early today and would be home in a while.

Zhang Xuejiao looked at the two dishes and one soup on the table, and smiled awkwardly: "It's a mistake, it's not enough for the three of us."

Zuo Ting didn't dare to move her chopsticks anymore.

Zhang Xuejiao couldn't laugh or cry: "As for it? Just make two more dishes."

Lin Zhiyuan opened the door and rushed in, just about to hug Zhang Xuejiao, when Zuo Ting withdrew his hand in embarrassment.

Zuo Ting was already full, and said goodbye wisely: "Sister Jiao, Brother Lin, I'm going back."

"Hey..." Lin Zhiyuan tossed the car keys to her: "Come here tomorrow morning."

Not long after Zuo Ting got her driver's license, she didn't dare to drive on the road by herself, so she put the car keys on the shoe cabinet and ran away.

Zhang Xuejiao watched the door close, and then looked at Zuo Ting's bag on the coat rack: "She forgot to bring her bag, so hurry up and give it away."

Lin Zhiyuan came back after more than 40 minutes.

He drove Zuo Ting back.

Originally, he deliberately came back early, intending to share the joy with Zhang Xuejiao, after a lot of tossing, only exhaustion remained.

When she entered, Zhang Xuejiao was already full and was sitting in front of the computer as a customer service.

Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help complaining a few words: "Look, I have to help you deliver the employees, am I not tired?"

"My husband has worked hard~"

Zhang Xuejiao knew that he didn't like people coming to the house, and You Qi troubled him, so she quickly patted him down: "Sit down, I'll give you a massage."

"I'm hungry."

"Wash your hands and I'll serve you food."

Lin Zhiyuan said angrily, "I won't eat your leftovers."

"How can it be~" Zhang Xuejiao walked to the kitchen: "I'll keep it for you alone~"

Lin Zhiyuan felt comfortable now.

Zhang Xuejiao rolled her eyes in the kitchen, this guy is pushing an inch!
After eating and drinking, Uncle Lin Zhiyuan slumped down on the sofa, "I'm so tired from driving."

Zhang Xuejiao endured it: "Soak your feet? I'll fetch water for you."

Lin Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms: "Just a kiss."

Zhang Xuejiao consciously closed her eyes.

It was strange, the two kissed countless times, but she still felt fresh and sweet every time.

After parting, Lin Zhiyuan pinched the flesh on her arm, and continued to complain: "Today someone asked me to cooperate, I came back happily and wanted to tell you, but Zuo Ting was here."

Zhang Xuejiao really wanted to tell him that I have known Zuo Ting much longer than I have known you.

But these words are clearly provocative.

Seeing that she was silent, Lin Zhiyuan added some strength to his hands: "Huh?"

Zhang Xuejiao's tone was light: "We have been busy in the store all day, and we didn't want to eat out, so we brought her back."

"Angry?"

Zhang Xuejiao stared at the coffee table: "No, I just think you are making trouble for no reason."

Lin Zhiyuan choked, and his tone was coquettish: "Good wife, my plan was interrupted, and I feel uncomfortable."

"I understand." Zhang Xuejiao turned to look at him: "Okay, let's get down to business."

It turned out that in the afternoon, someone went to the expansion center to find Lin Zhiyuan, saying that he was in the gym and wanted to cooperate with Lin Zhiyuan to open a branch.

Lin Zhiyuan was very interested, so he went to visit the store in the city center and thought it was quite interesting.

After listening, Zhang Xuejiao asked, "How about a cooperation method?"

"He provides the equipment and people, and I provide the place, three to seven points."

Zhang Xuejiao thought about it for a while, and she didn't understand: "Equipment and talent are the big ones, three to seven points, is it too much? Is there something tricky about this?"

"I said to think about it and give him an answer after a year."

Zhang Xuejiao nodded: "If you don't understand the industry, you should learn about it in advance, so as to save yourself from being tricked."

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid."

"There are a group of people behind us, and we can't afford to pay."

Zhang Xuejiao was quite tired after a busy day, she stood up on the sofa and said, "Wash up and sleep, I have to go to the store tomorrow."

"How's business in the store?"

Zhang Xuejiao stood where she was, and sighed: "How should I put it, I feel much worse than before."

"Normal, your old customers all bought from the online store."

Zhang Xuejiao sat down again: "Li Ping and Liu Cuiyun have been in the store all the time, and their income is obviously not as good as others, so it's better to close the store and let them also sell goods online."

"Didn't Lin Tiantian recruit newcomers?"

"Newcomers need time to cultivate, how can an old man be useful?" Zhang Xuejiao remembered something: "By the way, Qi Yun discussed with me to open a flagship store on another online shopping platform, what do you think?"

"Good thing." Lin Zhiyuan came to his spirits: "You have been asked to open a few more online stores a long time ago, but you have not moved."

"I'm afraid I won't be too busy."

"Think about it in the future, the more you bind Qi Yun, the stronger the relationship between you two, and the smoother your future development will be."

Zhang Xuejiao squinted at him: "It sounds like you know Qi Yun very well."

"From your usual description, it can be seen that Qi Yun's family background is not weak."

"That's true." Zhang Xuejiao made a decision: "Take this opportunity and close the shop after the next year."
