Heart Stealer

Fang Mei pushed open the door of the noodle shop, and a familiar fragrance hit her nose, and Fang Mei's mood eased a little.

The store was empty, with no other customers in the store. Only Mrs. Qiu was sitting at a table, patiently teaching her daughter Qiu Xue how to write.

Qiuxue's little head turned from time to time, and it was obvious that she was not very interested in writing.

Qiu Rongyao poked his head out of the kitchen and saw Fang Mei walk into the store. He immediately greeted her warmly, "Classmate Fang Mei, long time no see. What would you like to eat today?"

Fang Mei forced a smile: "Brother Qiu, give me a bowl of fresh meat noodles."

"Okay, wait a moment, it will be ready soon." Qiu Rongyao said, turned and went into the kitchen.

After a while, Qiu Rongyao came out with a bowl of hot soup noodles topped with tender lean meat.

He placed the bowl in front of Fang Mei and said with a smile, "Since you don't look well, I added some more meat for you. Eat more."

Fang Mei thanked him repeatedly. Her stomach was already protesting, and she couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and start eating in big mouthfuls.

The heat and aroma of the soup powder made her temporarily forget the frustration of the past few days.

Mrs. Qiu noticed Fang Mei's anomaly and asked with concern, "Fang Mei, have you encountered any difficulties? You look very tired."

Fang Mei raised her head, tears flashing in her eyes, and she briefly recounted her difficulties in finding a job.

After hearing this, Mrs. Qiu's eyes showed sympathy. She looked at her husband, as if they were communicating something silently.

Qiu Rongyao pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Classmate Fang Mei, if you don't mind, our store is in need of an assistant. Could you come and help? Of course, we will pay you according to the labor contract."

Fang Mei was stunned. She didn't expect that there would be such a glimmer of hope at her most desperate moment.

She put down her chopsticks and said gratefully, "Really? Brother Qiu, I'm willing. I can start working tomorrow!"

Qiu Rongyao and Mrs. Qiu smiled at each other, and Qiu Rongyao said, "That's settled then. See you tomorrow, classmate Fang Mei."

Fang Mei nodded vigorously and continued to enjoy her soup noodles happily.

Qiu Xue saw that everyone was laughing and she started giggling too. The noodle shop was filled with a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

In this way, Fang Mei began her working career in the noodle shop.

She worked diligently and not only learned the skills to cook soup noodles, but also took the initiative to take on other chores in the store.

Qiu Rongyao and Mrs. Qiu praised Fang Mei highly and secretly felt lucky that they had decided to keep her.

As the days passed, Fang Mei's performance in the noodle shop became better and better.

Her presence not only makes the noodle shop more organized, but also attracts many customers to patronize it.

However, just when Fang Mei thought that life would continue to be so peaceful, an accident broke her peace.

One day, a man in elegant clothes walked into the noodle shop.

He had sharp eyes and a strong aura, and was followed by a group of followers in suits and ties.

The customers in the store couldn't help but look sideways and guess the man's identity.

Fang Mei couldn't help but look a few more times, but accidentally met the man's eyes.

She blushed and quickly turned around to continue working.

"Boss, give me a bowl of roast goose vermicelli." The man's voice was low and magnetic.

Qiu Rongyao quickly responded, "Okay, it'll be there soon!"

Fang Mei brought the prepared noodle soup to the man and said with her head down, "Sir, please enjoy your meal."

The man glanced at her, nodded slightly, and began to enjoy his food. He ate very slowly, as if savoring every bite.

After eating, the man paid, stood up, looked at Fang Mei again before leaving, and then left the noodle shop with his entourage.

Fang Mei felt a little strange, but did not think much about it. However, she did not expect that this accidental encounter would actually change her destiny.

One evening a few days later, when the noodle shop was about to close, the elegant man appeared again.

He walked up to Fang Mei and asked directly, "Ms. Fang, our company is willing to hire you at a salary three times higher than your current salary. Are you willing to work for my company?"

Fang Mei looked up in astonishment and looked at the man, "Why me?"

The man smiled and said, "Because I'm impressed by your noodle soup. I can give you a higher salary and better development opportunities."

Fang Mei hesitated for a moment. She knew this was a rare opportunity, but she was worried that she would not be able to do it.

The man seemed to see through her thoughts, "Don't worry, I believe you have potential." He handed Fang Mei a business card, "Call me when you've thought it over." After that, he turned and left.

Fang Mei held the business card, feeling very conflicted. She didn't know whether she should accept the invitation...

After careful consideration, Fang Mei rejected the man's offer of a high salary and continued to work in the restaurant.

The relationship between Fang Mei and the Qiu family is getting closer and closer, just like a family.

Besides her, there are two chefs and three waiters in the restaurant.

Since the nearby schools are on holiday, the number of customers on weekdays is not very large and the workload is relatively light.

In addition to working, Fang Mei did not give up her studies. She studied harder, hoping to change the fate of herself and her family as soon as possible.

Every morning, Fang Mei comes to the store early to help prepare ingredients and clean.

When guests arrived, she would entertain them warmly, serve them tea and water, and take their order and serve them dishes.

Although busy, Fang Mei enjoys it because it not only allows her to make money but also allows her to exercise her social skills and service awareness.

When there are not many customers in the store, Fang Mei will use the free time to pick up her books and review her lessons seriously.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month of summer vacation has passed and school is about to start.

Fang Mei submitted her resignation application to her boss's wife and received her salary as she wished, which was even much more than she expected.

After Fang Mei returned to school, she immediately called home and told her parents the good news.

"Dad, Mom, I've saved enough for living expenses. You don't have to send me any more."

Fang Mei's parents are simple and honest farmers. They really can't believe that their daughter can save so much money in such a short time.

"Daughter, did you really earn this money through your own hard work? Don't learn bad habits outside."

"Mom and Dad, don't let your imagination run wild! I just work at the noodle shop next to our school and stay in the school dormitory at night."

Fang Mei's face was filled with a happy smile, and she said in a light tone: "Our boss lady and boss are very kind. They know that our family is not well off,

When they paid me my salary, they even gave me a few hundred yuan extra as a bonus! They also supported me in studying and working part-time in the store, saying that this would allow me to learn more.
