Little Bosses and Little Monsters

Xu Ran walked to a crossroad, which happened to be a red light, and he kicked his toes in boredom.

It has been half a month since he returned to Haicheng, and he didn't go back to the school dormitory, because he guessed that Xi Mengzi and the others were looking for him, and the first place they were going to was the school, and he didn't want to go to Shu Jing, so when he left, he said He promised everything, but when he came back, he did nothing.

There is not much money on him, no matter how decadent and melancholy Xu Ran is, food is still the most important thing.So Xu Ran decided to find a place to work, earn some living expenses, and then find a way out.

But when he walked to the street and stood in the middle of the vast crowd, he felt a little dazed. Everyone around him had his own direction, but he didn't know where to go.

When the green light turned on, Xu Ran stood there in a daze, as if he couldn't decide which foot to take first.

Oh, he was not the only one who was struggling.

When the red light came back on, Xu Ran found out that there was a buddy beside him.

Xu Ran couldn't help but be attracted by the other party, and then he heard that buddy snapping his fingers and muttering: "Go to the left, it's closer to take the side road."

"Let's go to the right, the avenue can be exposed to the sun."

Xu Ran had black lines all over his head, but at the same time, maybe because he was too bored, he actually kept staring at the back of that person, wanting to see which way this person would choose to go in the end.

In this way, the two stood in front of the traffic light for more than 20 minutes, and the patient with advanced choice phobia in front still couldn't make up his mind which way to go.

The ringing of the phone suddenly disturbed the frozen air.

Xu Ran saw the other party take out his mobile phone, and picked it up in a panic: "Ah, it's me, what? Are you going to close the shop? Ah no, I'm going, ok, ok, I'll come right away!"

Then the man put away his mobile phone, no longer hesitated, and took steps to the left.

Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily, and couldn't help feeling relieved for that man.

5 minute later.

Hey, who am I?where am iWhy should I follow the person in front?

Xu Ran: "..."

The buddy in front is poisonous.

No matter how broken Xu Xijing's heart was at the back, the man in front finally reached his destination and rushed all the way into the small shop.

"Mr. Qiu, I'm here, didn't I keep you waiting?"

Jiuying had just packed a piece of cake, and there was still a flour palm print on the pink circle on her chest.

"No, just ready, today is matcha mousse."

The clerk took it happily: "Great, thank you, Mr. Qiu."

"No need." After Jiuying finished speaking, her eyes fell behind her: "This gentleman is following my guest, what's the matter?"

"Huh?" The clerk turned around with a bewildered expression.

Xu Ran: "⊙dish⊙!!!"

When Jiuying looked over, he felt that all the hairs on his body stood up and sang and swayed together.

"I, I, I, I are here to apply for the job!" In order to prevent being regarded as a pervert, the anxious student Xu pointed at the recruitment notice in front of the counter.

Jiuying was stunned for a moment: "Ah, is that so? Are you a student nearby?"

"I'm a student, but I'm from Jianda University, not in the university town. This is my student ID card."

"Then why did you think of going to work so far away?"

"Well, I, for some reason, I desperately need a job right now."

Xu Ran was just walking aimlessly at first, how could he have thought that there just happened to be a store here that was recruiting people, he saw the boss with a cold face, he thought it was over, but he didn't expect the boss to say in the next second: "The end of the day One hundred and fifty, three meals included, three weeks trial, okay?"

Xu Ran, who was dazed by the unexpected joy, was stunned for three seconds before he came back to his senses: "Yes, yes! Of course! When can I come to work?"

"Let's start tomorrow. I haven't asked for your name yet."

"My name is Xu Ran."

"Well, my name is Qiu Ying."

After watching the boy leave with a smirk, the clerk who realized that he had been followed all the way but didn't notice said, "Is that the decision? I see that Mr. Qiu has posted your notice for a long time."

He always thought that Qiu Ying's requirements were too high, so he couldn't recruit anyone, so he accepted Xu Ran of unknown origin so hastily.

"I can feel that he has no malice towards you, and he should be sincerely seeking a job."

The clerk held the cake in both hands, and made no effort to hide the admiration in Jiuying's eyes.

Jiuying couldn't help but laugh: "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Qiu is really amazing. The food he cooks is delicious, and he makes quick decisions! I envy you!"

Speaking of next decisions...

"If I hadn't called you just now, were you struggling at the intersection again about which way to come?"

The clerk's ears blushed when he was told about his meaningless hesitation for more than 20 minutes.

"I can't always convince myself to make a decision. Every time there are two voices arguing in my heart. It's been like this since I was a child, so the children around me don't want to play with me. It's the same when I grow up. When I come to... When I came here, even though I really wanted to do things well, my colleagues thought I was indecisive, and I was very distressed all the time, but I couldn’t change it.” The clerk hangs his head in frustration, and the dull hair on his head hangs down to his forehead up.

Jiuying was much taller than the other party, and when he looked down at the other party, he seemed more tender. He was thinking: This is really a coincidence.

But the clerk couldn't see it, he was immersed in disappointment, he had been here for a long time, at first it was because he felt that his character was not suitable for living in his hometown, but after he came here, he found that he was still a good-for-nothing, only But live a safer life, but still fail, and no one likes myself like this.

A piece of soft mud, no matter it is placed on a high mountain or in a deep ditch, cannot form a shape, nor can it be made into a hard stone.

People may not laugh at him or bully him, but they will never pay attention to him, because he can be replaced at any time, and no one needs such an empty frame to be a friend.

"Mr. Ping." Jiuying suddenly called out.

"Ok?"

"Can you do me a favor? Help me deliver these cups of coffee to the guests at table four."

"Oh, good." The clerk didn't think too much, subconsciously put down his cake, took the plate and acted as free labor for Jiuying in a daze.

A man and a woman sat at table number four. The clerk put a caramel macchiato in front of the girl and an Americano in front of the boy, and then came back.

There was an unreadable smile in Jiuying's eyes: "Mr. Ping, how do you know that macchiato is for girls and American style is for boys? I didn't tell you which cup corresponds to whom."

The little clerk was stunned, as if puzzled by Jiuying's sudden question, he pointed blankly at the table and explained: "I saw cakes in front of the girls, and two packs of milk balls on the boys' hands, so I thought The girl prefers sweets, and the boy should be preparing for his own black coffee. What, did I give it wrong?"

Thinking that he might be doing a disservice to others by being clever, he felt a little panic in his eyes.

"You are right and you are doing well. Mr. Ping, have you ever wondered why you always have more choices than others? This shows that you choose fear, but it may also show that you can always choose Observe more details than others, consider more possibilities, and consider more consequences."

The clerk withdrew his fingers and looked at Jiuying as dumb as a goldfish.

"I think you may be wrong because you should speak out and let others share the problem, but you think about it yourself. Some people only see the left road, some people only see the right road, and you After seeing the entire intersection, others certainly cannot understand your hesitation, but if you show this intersection to others, maybe others will not misunderstand you so much."

There was an inexplicable light in the eyes, and the two were relatively silent for a long time. The clerk sniffed: "Mr. Qiu, who taught you this?"

The person who worked so hard to build failed in a second, and Jiuying said awkwardly: "I am a friend."

Just recognized it not long ago.

"Oh, well said, that friend of yours must be a wonderful man."

After speaking, the clerk seemed to be lost in contemplation of this passage.

Jiuying asked unwillingly: "But how did you see that I didn't say it?"

"It doesn't sound like what you said. We have known each other for so many days, and you have never said more than one sentence at a time. Moreover, Mr. Qiu, your own obsessive-compulsive disorder is so severe that you don't seem like someone who can think through these words. "The clerk's tone was soft and nasal, but his words were not soft at all.

Jiuying, who had never known that her obsessive-compulsive disorder had been noticed by others, silently touched the chest that had been stabbed by Wen Rou.

It seems that Jiuying is not the only one with a keen mind.

No matter how you say it, through this conversation, the relationship between the two is a little closer than before.First of all, it is reflected in the address. The staff member only said that his surname is "Ping" before. After this time, he told Jiuying that he can call himself Pingpeng.

When hearing this name, Jiuying's eyes were a little strange, but Pingpeng didn't notice it.

"Well, my full name is Qiu Ying."

"Well, I just heard that Mr. Qiu's name is very special." Pingpeng didn't notice anything wrong, it can be said that Pingpeng is very stupid and naive in terms of trust and devotion when getting along with others.

"Yes, just call me Aying."

"Then you can just call me A Peng." Ping Peng's cheeks were flushed, and he clenched his fists, looking solemn as if they had not just exchanged a name, but had completed an important ceremony.

People who have been alone for too long may cherish any olive branch so much, but it is useless for you to hold on to it, and the connection will be broken if the other person lets go.

Only when two people hold each other tightly can they walk for a long time.

You have to take good care of it, and no one is willing to give in and drag it in your direction, or let the leaves wither and the branches wither, after all, you can't go far.

I also met a lonely person, holding in their hands an olive branch that was cherished as long as life. Now they all stick out their heads carefully, let the branch touch first, and then tie a loose knot. Going further back, maybe one day, this knot will become as big as a snowball, and it will never be untied.

Are you saying it's a coincidence?

It is a coincidence to meet someone who is in step with you, and it is a blessing.

The author has something to say:

Congratulations to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Choice Phobia for completing the meeting of the century.
