"Hey, hello!" Liang Chuan smirked, with his hands on his hips, and his face was very close.Li Mu came back to his senses, and looked at Liang Chuan's half-smile face.

"You boy, have you been singing every night lately? The master told you, you should take it easy in everything. Do you understand sustainable development?"

Li Mu saw that his head was full of yellow waste, so he didn't want to talk to him.Liang Chuan said again: "Today is 5 minutes later than usual, and 100 yuan will be deducted from your salary."

"When will there be such a regulation?" Li Mu was surprised.

Liang Chuan pointed to the newly posted regulations, "Last one, take a look."

If you are late for 1 minute, 20 yuan will be automatically transferred to Liang Chuan's WeChat.

It's a great way to get rich.Li Mu thought.

Liang Chuan grabbed Li Mu's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Kid, keep a low profile recently. Mr. Yue has given an order to strictly regulate employee attendance—you can't be the first to break his rules, can you?"

Li Mu was helpless, "I'll transfer the money to you via WeChat in a while."

Money is not the most important issue.It's just that Li Mu still has something on his mind.After meeting Yue Renge at the Xiaozhu Pavilion that day, the two of them haven't seen each other for two days.

It's not uncommon for them not to meet each other.They are like a sponge squeezed with water, taking a little time to talk about love.Because I was busy before, I didn't think so.But now, the more Li Mu couldn't see Yue Renge, the more flustered he felt.

Why?Because he has a guilty conscience!

Going out to work secretly is not considered a violation of the regulations, but Li Mu really cares about Yue Renge's feelings.On the phone and on WeChat, Yue Renge never expressed his dissatisfaction with this matter.

This actually made Li Mu feel uneasy.

Before the storm, there is always calm.

In addition, there is another trace of sadness slowly coming up from a corner of my heart.The friends of Yue Renge that I met that day were the type that Li Mu was familiar with, and I met many similar people when I was studying abroad.But Li Mu has never been able to play with them.

The son of a rich family, who knows how to play and do things, seems to have a pretty good relationship with Yue Renge.

Yue Renge also has such a friend?Or, Yue Renge was originally such a person?

Li Mu was distressed.

I can't tell what it feels like, but in short, thinking of the brief glance and question between the two of them across Xiangfeizhu, Li Mu couldn't help being distracted.

"Handsome guy, what's the name of this glass of wine?" The little girl sitting at the bar wanted to start a conversation, Li Mu pushed Margaret in front of her, "Margaret. The bartender who invented it was to commemorate love. "

He looked at the puzzled expression on the little girl's face, and worked hard to enliven the atmosphere, "Want to know the story behind it? Let me tell you."

The night in Xiasha District is hot and noisy.It takes about half an hour for Li Mu to go home after work and ride an electric scooter.Perhaps because of something in his heart, he rode very slowly.When he went upstairs, he was almost dragged by his legs. When he opened the door, he noticed something strange. When he turned on the light, Li Mu was startled when he saw the person sitting on the sofa.

Yue Renge leaned on the sofa and fell asleep.

Dazed by the sudden pouring of light, he subconsciously raised his hands to cover his face.Li Mu quickly turned off the light again.

"It's okay, you turn on the light." Yue Renge's voice was a little sleepy and hoarse, "I'll get used to it after a while."

Li Mu then turned on the light again.

"When did you come?" Li Mu was changing shoes at the entrance, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I wanted to go for a casual stroll, but I didn't expect to come here." Yue Renge said lightly, "It's so late anyway, so I just wanted to come up and sit down. Why, you're not welcome?"

Li Mu shook his head with a smile, "Of course not. The house hasn't been cleaned much..."

"Oh? Because you're busy?"

Li Mu's heart skipped a beat.

Yue Renge is invoking the teacher to ask the crime.

What should come will always come.Li Mu is not someone who is afraid to take responsibility, he has already made mental preparations—to be exact, he has been preparing recently.

"Well," Li Mu nodded, "I...I recently found a part-time job in a supermarket—but, but, I'm ready to quit."

"Sit down." Yue Renge made room for him, Li Mu hesitated, and sat beside Yue Renge.

Only then did he discover that Yue Renge also bought lychees.It has been washed and served in a large bowl.

"I saw someone selling it on the road, and I didn't know if it was delicious, so I bought it." Yue Renge explained, "Fruit season is short, and it's good to eat once."

Li Mu picked a lychee and held it in his hand without peeling it.The rough skin was grinding the flesh of his palm, Li Mu waited for the storm to come.

"Can you tell me the reason?" Yue Renge asked.

Li Mu raised his head, "It's a waste of time to work two jobs..."

Yue Renge interrupted him, "I mean, why did you choose to work in a supermarket."

In fact, he knows all about it.But he just wanted to hear Li Mu say it himself.

Li Mu was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "Brother Chuan said, I can't communicate with people. He said that being a bartender can't just be bartending. I'm too boring."

Yue Renge nodded.Liang Chuan's suggestion is on point.

Li Mu said again: "I just wanted to find an opportunity to increase my experience in getting in touch with people. I tried many opportunities, and I even went to talk shows..."

"Talk show?"

"Yeah." Li Mu nodded, "But I don't think I'm suitable for this. Besides, I still have to do some wine-related work. After picking and choosing, I'm going to go to the liquor department of the supermarket."

Yue Renge laughed, "Then why are you delivering the goods again?"

"Because there are not enough people." Li Mu was a little ashamed. After talking about it, it seemed that his recent work experience did not bring him the expected results.

Yue Renge smiled and nodded.

"It seems that going to the wine department is not bad. Then why did you say you wanted to resign?" Yue Renge finally returned to this question.To Li Mu, it sounds like, "You reflect on it, let me see if you reflect on it properly".

Li Mu sniffled, "I was wrong."

Yue Renge was surprised, and patted him on the shoulder, "I didn't scold you."

Li Mu felt a little aggrieved, "Are you really not angry?"

"Okay, I'm a little angry." Yue Renge raised his hand and scratched the tip of his nose, "But I'm angry not because you took a part-time job, but because you never told me about it."

If it hadn't happened to be at Tao Zhu's appointment that day, Yue Renge didn't know when he would have known about it.

Or, he wouldn't know at all.

"Actually, I've been to Dionysia today." Yue Renge peeled a lychee and took one in his mouth.Not very tasty, slightly sour.He frowned, "Where did you hear Margaret's story?"

Li Mu was slightly taken aback, it was just something he casually chatted with the guests, how could Yue Renge know?

Yue Renge didn't seem to want to answer his question.Li Mu said in a muffled voice, "I read it online. When I'm free, I watch some videos related to bartending."

For a knowledgeable guest, you can chat with him about the tonality, production, and flavor of the wine; for those who don’t understand, you can chat with him about the romance and the stories behind the wine.Talking about Li Mu working in a supermarket, there are a lot of bits and pieces in his daily life, but the eldest sister likes to drop her book bags from time to time, and Li Mu has heard a lot about it.

He is also happy to learn.

Li Mu doesn't care about the source of knowledge, as long as it is useful to him, as long as it can answer his doubts, it is good knowledge.

Right now, he was a little apprehensive, what was the purpose of Yue Renge asking him these things?

"Cao Yang contacted me a few days ago. He planned to come to Huadu with his wife to settle down. I don't know what medicine he took wrongly." Yue Renge suddenly mentioned this old friend, "He handed over the management of the bar in Shanghai to someone else. , and now he wants to make a popular science account for alcohol knowledge. Just those websites that you young people often read."

Li Mu's eyes lit up.

Yue Renge continued: "Old Cao has a preliminary idea, mainly he will appear on the scene, the content can be divided into two categories: basic wine knowledge popularization, fancy bartending performances, and some special interviews from time to time. Now It’s still in the preparatory stage, and he’s doing it as an amateur, so the current workload isn’t too big.”

"The assistant's job involves topic selection, copywriting, and even appearances." Yue Renge smiled and peeled another lychee, looked at Li Mu, and deliberately suppressed the conversation. Li Mu stared at Yue Renge with both eyes, longing, It seemed that he was waiting for him to say the key sentence.

It's so fun to tease children, Yue Renge thought.

It's just too awkward sometimes.

He is obviously a child, but he has a kind of stubbornness that insists on being an adult.It also often makes him feel difficult.You have to help him, because he is so eager for knowledge and change; but be careful, because he has a glass-like self-esteem.I thought he was brought up pampered, but he is also a hard-working person, no matter how hard he is beaten——

Li Mu's stubbornness and easy-going, strength and fragility seem to be contradictory everywhere, but they are so harmoniously integrated in him.

Maybe it would be better to adjust a little here and a little there?Make Li Mu more likable and less angular?

But he couldn't imagine whether he would like Li Mu who was not like this.

"Lao Cao was very impressed with you last time." Yue Renge couldn't bear to hang on to him anymore, "He asked me to ask you if you are interested in being his assistant in your spare time."

Li Mu didn't bother to eat the lychee either, and grabbed Yue Renge's hand and nodded frantically.

Yue Renge smiled and let him shake his hands, "Or is it better to work in a supermarket?"

Supermarkets are certainly not bad.However, if you lose your job in the supermarket, you just have to look for it; and if you miss this chance to meet Cao Yang, you don't know when the next time will come.

Yue Renge looked at his longing expression, and couldn't help feeling jealous in his heart.The boss is by your side and you don't seize the opportunity to ask me for advice, why am I not as good as Liang Chuan Cao Yang or even the aunt in the supermarket?

Yue Renge thought so, but didn't say so.He scratched the back of Li Mu's upturned head, and sighed in a drawn-out tone, "You..."

Helplessly and lovingly.

Li Mu knew that he still made Yue Renge sad, so he didn't say a word, and obediently grabbed the corner of his clothes, looking at him with two eyes.The fractured sofa couldn't support the weight of the two of them, and groaned loudly.They were so close together that they sat staggeringly.

Yue Renge saw fog in Li Mu's eyes.

He lowered his head to hold Li Mu's lips, and quickly let go.

"Okay," Yue Renge stretched, "I've been waiting for you for a long time today. I bought you lychees in return, so let me sleep here tonight."
