Zhang Wei rolled her eyes as she listened, and couldn't help but whisper: "What has this landlord been thinking about all day long!"
I did not answer Zhao Jing's words anymore, turned to Qin Xue, and asked: "Qin Yaoshi, what do you think of this house? Are you satisfied? It is very close to the store, and it is convenient for commuting to and from get off work."
Qin Xue didn't seem to pay attention to Zhao Jing's teasing at all. She carefully checked the condition of the bathroom, kitchen and windows: "Ms. Zhao, I've seen the house, and it basically meets the requirements."
Zhao Jing saw that Qin Xue was so business-like, so she put away her somewhat joking expression and began to discuss business.
Things went smoothly, Qin Xue was basically satisfied with the house, and Zhao Jing didn't bother with the rent anymore.
I signed a simple lease agreement with Zhao Jing on the spot and paid the deposit and first month's rent.
When I handed the key to Qin Xue, I told him: "Mr. Qin, please settle down first. Any daily necessities you need can be purchased at small supermarkets nearby. If you have anything to do with work or life, please call me at any time."
Along the way, Zhang Wei was still teasing Zhao Jing about her outrageous misunderstanding: "That sister Jing has such a rich imagination. I think it's a pity that she doesn't write novels."
I had no choice but to explain: "She's just like that, she doesn't have a handle on her mouth, just get used to it."
I returned to the site office, I immediately turned on the computer and started to go through the formalities for the store's takeout platform.
Thanks to my status as the webmaster and my familiarity with the platform rules, the whole process went very quickly.
Upload business license, store environment photos, product information... I am familiar with the road.
Having been busy for an hour, the final step is confirmed to be completed.
My small shop has finally been successfully listed for business on the takeaway platform.
"Done!" I leaned back in the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I haven't placed a single order yet, looking at the store page displayed on the mobile APP, I still feel a sense of solidity in my heart that I have taken a crucial step.
Zhang Wei came over and looked at the screen, almost leaning on me: "Boss Chen, do I have to call you Mr. Chen from now on? Now you are a serious boss!"
I know in my heart that this is just the beginning. It is easy to open an online store, but how to attract traffic and operate it is the real challenge.
But, as I told them, this is my home court.
Just a few minutes after sitting down to rest, the phone rang. It was Huang Li.
"Chen Hao, has Qin Xue come to find you?" Huang Li's voice came.
I immediately reacted: "Teacher Huang, do you know Qin Xue?"
"Well, she is a student I have taught before, and her professional ability is very solid." Huang Li explained.
"She has had some personal relationship problems recently and is not in a good state. She wants to completely change her environment and adjust herself. I thought that you were looking for a pharmacist there, so I recommended her to go there and give it a try. How is it, has she arrived?"
It suddenly dawned on me. No wonder Qin Xue is willing to come to my fledgling shop despite her good conditions.
And the whole process went so smoothly, it turned out that Huang Li was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.
"We're already here, we just met in the afternoon. I've already settled on her and just rented a house for her and settled in." I answered truthfully.
"That's good." Huang Li's tone became more relaxed.
"She has no problem with her ability, but she may have been a little depressed recently. Please bear with me. It will be good for her to keep her busy and exposed to new environments."
"Understood, Teacher Huang, don't worry, I will make arrangements. I really want to thank you this time for helping me a lot."
After hanging up the phone, I felt more at ease.
With Huang Li's intimate knowledge, Qin Xue's reliability has undoubtedly increased.
After a busy day, I returned to the rental house.
The kitchen light is on, Lin Xiaoyu is facing away from me, heating milk in a small pot.
While I was changing my shoes, I was thinking about how to speak.
During this period, it was like there was an invisible film between us.
"Xiaoyu, do you have any plans to return to your hometown recently?"
Lin Xiaoyu turned off the fire and turned around with a glass of milk: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"Last time your dad said that you have an old problem with your waist and legs..." I found an entry point.
Of course, my real purpose is far more than that. Lin Xiaoyu’s hometown is at the foot of Shuangyang Mountains. Her father is an old medicine farmer himself and is familiar with the mountains.
The mountain range is the most likely place to find the Cynomorium cynomorium mentioned by Huang Li.
This trip back is not only to take the opportunity to ease the relationship with her, but also to find a glimmer of hope to solve my own physical problems.
She swung the milk in the cup: "I originally planned to go back and have a look."
I seized the opportunity: "I haven't visited uncle for a long time. Just in time, I'll drive you back. There will be someone to look after you on the way, and I can also see if I can help."
I didn't dare to mention going to Shuangyang Mountain to look for herbs, for fear that she would get suspicious.
After a while, Lin Xiaoyu said, "Next week, I'll take a break."
After saying that, she didn't look at me again and walked straight back to her room with the milk in hand.
I felt relieved, at least she didn’t refuse directly.
I hope that in Shuangyang Mountains, we can find clues to alleviate physical side effects, and also find the possibility of repairing our relationship.
After I made an agreement with Lin Xiaoyu to return to my hometown, it felt like a stone had fallen in my heart, and a small fire was lit in my heart.
When I was dealing with daily affairs on the site the next day, I felt much more efficient. Even Zhang Wei could tell that I was in a good mood and teased me about whether I had "found money."
After finishing my work at the station, I drove to the store. There is an important task today, which is to complete the hardware equipment for taking takeaway orders.
I took out the cardboard box that had just arrived yesterday from the corner. Inside was a Bluetooth receipt printer and network box specially equipped for takeout orders.
I am proficient in using the mobile APP to search and pair the printer, set the network parameters, and then bind the printer to the store backend account.
After a while, the Bluetooth printer indicator light changes from red to green, indicating that the connection is successful.
I casually placed a test order in the background, and the printer immediately spit out a small ticket with the test product information and simulated order number printed on it.
Seeing that the receipt was printed successfully, this means that as long as a customer places an order online, I will immediately receive a prompt and print out the receipt.
After the test, I was about to turn off the order-taking function in the background, lock the door, and leave.
There was a sudden "ding-dong" sound on the computer, and then the printer in the corner started working and spit out a small ticket.
I thought it was because the test order was not cleaned properly, but when I tore it off and saw it, I saw that it was a real order!
