I will never give in to Miss Death
Page 152
Yin Xiamo corrected: "It's not the god of death, it's my husband."
"Haha, you two still love to joke around so much."
Su Yunjin coughed dryly: "Okay, I admit that I came here for two purposes today. The first is to prevent those weirdos like those just now from harassing the coffee shop's mascot."
"mascot……"
The corners of my mouth twitched: "So what do those people do?"
"The son of a listed company owner in Shenbin City, he is the type who spends all day eating, drinking and having fun, and does not work and relies on his parents. He is always flirting with female internet celebrities."
Su Yunjin explained: "After I saw Ouyang Xue's promotional video go viral yesterday, I guessed that they would definitely target you, and I also knew that with your personality, you would definitely refuse."
"Humph."
Yin Xiamo beside him said with disdain: "They really dare to cross the line. I don't mind taking a few more heads."
"Yes, yes, my Lord Death."
Su Yunjin seemed to have tacitly accepted Yin Xiamo's identity as the "God of Death": "The second thing is about the coffee shop itself. I don't know if Ouyang Xue has mentioned it to you. If the coffee shop is really successful in the future and meets expectations and cooperates with the external investment promotion, Tongmeng.com will reward the store manager. Do you know what the reward is?"
"What is it?"
I thought about it: "Three months' salary? Half a year's bonus?"
"The layout is smaller."
Su Yunjin took out a map from his pocket.
"It's a small resort island ten kilometers away from here."
"..."
……
No. 140 She must love you very much
After Su Yunjin's explanation, I roughly understood the specific situation of the future "big move" in Nannai District.
To put it simply, a cross-sea bridge will be built here to connect the Minami Nagi district and the small islands in the center of the Minami Nagi Sea. Then the sea areas between the islands will be filled in, and the islands will be connected to each other to form a very complex archipelago "special zone", which is the legendary "Tenth Zone".
The name of this special zone is still under voting. It is located in the southern waters of Kamihama City. The island closest to the coast is more than ten kilometers away from Minaminagi District. One of the more remote islands has not been named until now, and it is planned to be built into a villa area in the future.
And here in Minami Nagi District, Ouyang Xue received an order from Tongmeng.com to open the "Shangjing Cat Maid Cafe", which has a hidden benefit... If the cafe operates smoothly in the future and really boosts the local economy and helps the newly built Minami Nagi District commercial street to stimulate domestic demand, then all the employees of the cafe will be able to get a small villa on the island of at least 200 square meters, with an upstairs and downstairs structure and a back garden.
Of course, this matter has not been really confirmed yet. Even Ouyang Xue herself has only "heard about it" and has not actually received the contract in black and white, so she did not mention it to us. This is probably the reason why Ouyang Xue has worked so hard in recent months.
In other words...what Su Yunjin mentioned before, "Nanagi District is about to invest 580 billion in construction" is just the tip of the iceberg of the project.
"The entire project cost more than 2000 billion yuan, including 580 billion yuan for the economic development of the Nannai District Commercial Street and the nearby development zone, more than 300 billion yuan for the cross-sea bridge, and more than 1000 billion yuan for land reclamation and coastal engineering construction."
Facing the curious looks from Yin Xiamo and me, Su Yunjin looked mysterious: "The entire project is expected to take ten years. The cross-sea bridge should be completed in about eight years. The villa area on the island will probably be completed by then. If the coffee shop is still there eight years later, you will probably be the first residents there."
Good guy...
Su Yunjin's words made me even more curious: "It sounds like a waste of money. Why does Shenbin City want to fill this sea?"
"The more popular view is to increase the livable area of Kamihama, alleviate housing price and population problems, and increase the employment rate."
Facing my question, Su Yunjin smiled slightly: "To put it in a broader sense, it is to deter countries around the world and improve coastal control."
"Eh?"
"In addition to building residential areas and commercial streets there, we will also build shipyards, airports, etc. You can think of it as showing the country's might to the rest of the world. I don't know much about the political aspects."
"Oh……"
Probably got it.
Is it just like the two superpowers during the Cold War who went to the moon one after another to show off their muscles?
"That……"
Looking at Su Yunjin, I said in a joking tone: "So you came here today to remind us... to make big promises for Xia Mo and me so that we don't resign?"
"This is not just empty talk. These are all true. Although I cannot guarantee that there will be villas in the future, the fate of this coffee shop is indeed linked to the project I mentioned. Your performance has exceeded the expectations of those above. Many tourists who come to the coffee shop have noticed the commercial street and residential area behind it. The popularity has increased immediately."
Su Yunjin looked a little embarrassed: "But to be honest, I came to you early in the morning to say this, and I really hope that you will not quit or run away with someone else."
Finally, the guy added: "If what those guys said just now really makes you excited... I can apply for more money from the higher-ups."
"Goodbye."
I rolled my eyes at him and said, "It's not like I can't calculate the revenue of the coffee shop. We are doing well if we don't lose money in a month."
Of course, if you force me to raise my salary, I don’t mind anyway.
“No, no, no, it’s different. The hidden benefits you bring are different. They value the value behind you more.”
Su Yunjin explained: "At least now everything is moving in a good direction."
"How many!"
At this time, Elodie, who had gone to the bathroom and changed out of her maid outfit, came over with her bag on her back and said, "I'll leave this to you. I'm going back now."
"Ok!"
I waved my little hand at Elodie: "Be careful on the road! Don't fall asleep!"
"I'm not you. How can I fall asleep while walking?"
Elodie yawned: "And that...that handsome guy is gone."
"Hey."
Su Yunjin also waved at him: "How about I drive you?"
"It's only a few steps away, why are you sending me a gift? Just continue chatting..."
Yawning, Elodie walked out of the house.
Su Yunjin frowned at this scene: "Is she really okay?"
"It's okay. Elodie is like this. She eats and sleeps every day. It seems like she never gets enough sleep."
Yin Xiamo explained: "If you are interested, you can add her on QQ or WeChat. I guarantee she will scold you and make you doubt your life."
"Forget it..."
Su Yunjin wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to me: "Do you have any questions about the island?"
I thought about it: "Do I have to get a house or do I have to use some method to win ten times in a row to guarantee a minimum?"
"What are you talking about..."
The other party didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I've told you so bluntly. Although there is no contract document, this matter should be stable. Because the new district has just been built and is surrounded by the sea, no one will be willing to buy a house there in the first few years, so the villas there will not be too expensive at the beginning. I estimate that it will be 300,000 or 500,000 at most. You have worked here for eight years, and you will receive a bonus of 40,000 or 50,000 every year... Oh no, 40,000 or 50,000 housing provident fund is not an outrageous thing, right?"
"Now that you put it that way it seems to be true."
I nodded: "I don't really understand how you capitalists operate..."
Although strictly speaking this can no longer be classified as capitalist, this is the construction plan of the Kamihama City Government.
After the planning documents came down, Tongmeng.com joined as an investor, obtained first-hand intelligence, and then cooperated to set up a coffee shop in the commercial street - it was something like this.
Su Yunjin, as the young master of Tongmeng.com, happened to be looking for someone who could be the gold medal maid of the coffee shop recently. Before, when I was an uncle, I had a good relationship with him. After I became a girl, I was noticed by this guy at an offline party of the author, and he came to me with a flyer of the coffee shop.
Then I was successfully hired. With my outstanding appearance and Ouyang Xue's hard work, the opening of the coffee shop was a huge success.
If I have to say, the person who contributed the most here actually went to Ouyang Xue.
As a novelist, I am very aware that in this era, in this fast-paced society, "propaganda" is much more important than "technology" itself.
The era of “good wine needs no bush” has passed. Now is the era of advertising and promotion.
Imagine that when people go to a green or pink app to look for a book, do they first notice the cover and name of the book? If the cover is not colorful enough or it is a weird picture, people will just swipe past it and will not see the content no matter how exciting it is. On the contrary, if the best-drawn page is colored and put on the cover, the number of readers will increase.
Anyway, there are so many choices nowadays, and no one has the patience to savor and look for the best.
Similarly, if it weren't for Ouyang Xue's vigorous promotion and various unique skills, no matter how excellent the conditions of the coffee shop were, and no matter how cute and beautiful Xia Mo and I were, we would not be able to achieve such popularity on the first day of opening.
However... as someone who has suffered a lot from "pie in the sky" lies, I don't completely believe what Su Yunjin says.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
According to Su Yunjin, the cross-sea bridge will take about eight years to build. What will happen during these eight years? Can the bridge be built smoothly? Will there be any difficulties? Will the project be delayed? Can the new offshore area be built smoothly after construction? Can the villa on the small island be built after completion? No one can tell for sure.
Let's take a step back and say that even if the bridge is really built and the new maritime district of Kamihama City is successfully constructed, can I maintain the current status quo?
Nowadays, most people take the college entrance examination at the age of 18 and then go to college. College is for 4 years and they graduate and enter the society at the age of 22. Before I was nearly 30, I can say that I have been working in the society for almost 8 years. Eight years ago, I was a male college student who had just entered the society and was ignorant. Eight years later, I was already a maid in a coffee shop.
I couldn't have anticipated this kind of change.
So I remain skeptical about what Su Yunjin said.
I won’t expect too much to get a house in eight years, but I won’t give up hope at all either… Anyway, I’ll just live a down-to-earth life and save money.
"No, no, no. My father always says that I am not suitable to be a capitalist. He says that if I were to manage the company, the family fortune would be squandered."
In the quiet coffee shop, Su Yunjin glanced at the time on his phone: "How is Ouyang Xue? She should be fine, right?"
"Have."
I sighed softly, "I had a severe cold and gastrointestinal bleeding. I was in the emergency room for a long time yesterday. Now that Li Chen is watching over me, I should be fine for the time being."
"From the beginning, I felt that it was really inappropriate for the company to let Ouyang Xue come here to do this."
Su Yunjin thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to the hospital and have a serious talk with that workaholic..."
"I should be under the car, not in the car, seeing how sweet you are..."
At this time, the cell phone in Su Yunjin's hand rang, and the ringtone was actually an old song - "He Must Love You Very Much".
"Sorry, pick up the phone."
Giving me a look, the young man took out his phone, swiped the screen, glanced at the caller ID, and stopped walking away, pressing the answer button: "What are you doing, kid? So early?"
"what?"
Since the speakerphone was not on, I couldn't hear it clearly, but Su Yunjin looked surprised.
"Are you serious?"
"She...didn't you just know each other for a few days?"
"Okay, fine. Since you have already decided, I will definitely support you when the time comes."
"Nuo'er? Nuo'er, you have to ask her yourself. I think there should be no problem."
"Okay, that's it. I have to go to the hospital to visit a patient later. I'm hanging up."
After putting away the phone, Su Yunjin walked towards me and said, "Marisa is getting married."
"Eh?"
It took me a while to remember who the "Marisa" the young man in front of me was talking about: "Jiang Wei?"
"Ah."
"The girl you mentioned last time that you went to the movies with?"
"Yeah, that guy even stood us up at that time."
Su Yunjin smiled bitterly: "Jiang Wei said that they fell in love at first sight, and after trying to date for a few days, they found that they had similar interests and had the idea of getting married...why don't you try to persuade him?"
"They've only been seeing each other for less than a week?"
I was also a little amused: "Are you planning to get married now?"
Although... according to Jiang Wei's explanation, the girl was his first love and Jiang Wei was her "hero", but marriage is something that shouldn't be taken so lightly, right?
"He must love his neighbor... He has no wife with him... Hallelujah..."
As I was speaking, my cell phone rang. The ringtone was Rammstein's "Hallelujah", which meant the caller was an old acquaintance like Marisa Pipi.
"Hello?"
I pressed the answer button and got straight to the point without waiting for the other party to speak: "I heard from Ji Tu Tong Long that you are planning to get married?"
"Yes, the wedding is scheduled for next Saturday, May 5th. I want to send it. Are you free next Saturday?"
"I……"
I thought about it and said, “I can be free.”
