Xingnian Tea House

"Liu Hao, I know exactly what you are thinking. You just want to use the fame of Xingnian Tea House to attract people. You don't want to lose such a good opportunity, so you beg me. Once your goal is achieved, you will definitely bite back. I'll take a bite. You're smart, but I'm not stupid, and I don't keep a ticking time bomb by my side."

Qiao Xingnian directly exposed Liu Hao's thoughts.

Seeing Qiao Xingnian's resolute attitude, Liu Hao changed his previous humility and said, "Are you sure you want to fire me?"

"I think I've made that clear."

"I'll make you regret today's decision! Qiao Xingnian, let's look at the books on a donkey - we'll see!"

Qiao Xingnian smiled contemptuously when he heard this, and said, "I'll wait."

Liu Hao didn't say any more, and was about to leave after packing up his equipment, but Qiao Xingnian stopped him and said, "Keep your clothes."

Startled, Liu Hao took off his clothes and threw them on the ground angrily.

Qiao Xingnian's eyes turned cold, he stared into Liu Hao's eyes, and said, "Pick it up."

Liu Hao suddenly felt suffocated by the powerful momentum, and fear flashed unconsciously in his eyes. He even saw the cold murderous look in Qiao Xingnian's eyes.He subconsciously swallowed his saliva, bent down to pick up the clothes on the ground, and put them on the chair beside him.

Qiao Xingnian said coldly, "Get out!"

As the words fell, Liu Hao suddenly felt relieved, and hurriedly took his things and left the private room.

Watching him leave, Liu Man said worriedly: "Boss, this Liu Hao is not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance. If you let him go now, we will probably be in trouble."

"If you don't let him go, is it possible to kill him?" Qiao Xingnian smiled helplessly, and said, "Don't forget my identity. I'm a spirit crosser. I'm half a errand. How could I know how to break the law?"

Liu Man said with a serious expression: "Boss, to avoid accidents, I think it is very necessary for me to go to his house and look for him again."

Qiao Xingnian said with a smile: "I don't think you want to find him, you want to scare him."

Liu Man was not at all embarrassed when his mind was exposed, "Hehe" laughed twice, and said, "I don't know why, but I just like to see him frightened to death, and it feels very cool."

Qiao Xingnian couldn't help feeling dumbfounded when he heard the words, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, when did you get this habit?"

"Habits are not counted, it's just that he is not pleasing to the eye, and I don't want him to have a good time."

Qiao Xingnian said angrily: "You, you, I don't know when this temper will change."

"It won't work in this life, if we can meet again in the next life..."

Speaking of this, Liu Man stopped, looked at Qiao Xingnian with burning eyes, and said, "Boss, if we can meet again in the next life, you can be my boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" For some reason, when Qiao Xingnian heard this word, Lin Nanyue appeared in his mind. He shook his head helplessly, shook off the messy thoughts in his mind, and said, "I am not your destiny, If we are forced to be together, it must be a sinful fate."

When Liu Man heard this, he couldn't help rolling his eyes, and said, "Boss, if you don't like it, you don't like it. You don't need to prevaricate me with fate. I'm not the kind of person who stalks me. But just now, the boss When repeating the word "boyfriend", his eyes flickered, did he think of someone? "

Qiao Xingnian suddenly felt guilty that his thoughts were being seen through, but he pretended to be nonchalant and said: "There is still a little twinkle in his eyes, you have seen too much of the Criminal Investigation Bureau recently. "

Liu Man laughed "hehe" twice and said, "Boss, how do you know? I'm really following a drama recently. It's a detective movie from the Republic of China period. The plot is very exciting, and the actors' acting skills are also very good. He was an actor during his lifetime, and even won the best actor award."

Seeing her excited face, Qiao Xingnian said amusedly, "Yeah, another ghost obsessed with the phone."

"Boss, why don't you think that TV dramas are so good when I was alive? Now I get off work every night and wait to watch them regularly. I can't fall asleep without watching them."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, and go downstairs to greet the guests, otherwise the wages will be deducted."

When Liu Man heard that the wages were to be deducted, she quickly said, "Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore, I'll go greet the guests, don't deduct wages, I don't want to owe more and more."

Seeing Liu Man going downstairs in a panic, Qiao Xingnian shook his head helplessly, tidied up the private room, wrapped the clothes in a packing bag, and turned around to go up to the third floor.This dress is not only expensive, but also designed by him, which has a different meaning. Otherwise, if worn by such a person, he will definitely throw it away.

As soon as Qiao Xingnian came downstairs, she saw Lin Lan sitting in front of the counter at a glance, and said hello, "Sister Lin, why are you here so early today?"

Lin Lan said jokingly: "I heard that you are a busy person who is back. I'm afraid you will be late and I won't see anyone."

"Sister Lin, you are entertaining me. I am a small owner of a tea house, how can I compare with the boss of a big company like Sister Lin." Qiao Xingnian walked to the counter and said, "What tea does Sister Lin drink today? "

"It's early in the morning, drink some green tea, let's have a cup of Longjing."

Qiao Xingnian nodded, turned around and took a box of Mingqian Longjing from the shelf, and concentrated on making tea.After the tea was brewed, Qiao Xingnian saw the teacup brought to Lin Lan, and said, "Sister Lin, are you here today to make a reservation, or to buy tea?"

"Buy tea." Lin Lan took a sip of the teacup and said, "I heard that you bought a batch of high-quality Pu'er. I just want to give it away. You prepare ten catties for me."

Qiao Xingnian turned to look at Liu Man, and said, "The best packaging, ten catties of tea fossils."

Liu Man responded and went to the warehouse with Liu Meng, while Wu Hai was in charge of individual customers in the store.

Qiao Xingnian asked casually, "Sister Lin, when do you and Brother Huo plan to get married?"

"Temporarily scheduled for October."

Qiao Xingnian just asked casually, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen. Seeing the happy smile on Lin Lan's face, he couldn't help but feel happy for her, and said, "When Sister Lin sends out the wedding invitation, don't forget to give me a piece of cake." share."

"I will never forget it. I spent a lot of money with you, so I have to get it back. What's more, you can be regarded as our matchmaker. If you forget anyone, you can't forget you." See Qiao Xingnian Lin Lan was very happy when he said this sincerely.

Qiao Xingnian smiled bitterly and said, "Then am I going to go bankrupt?"

"You are a big celebrity now." Speaking of this, Lin Lan paused and said, "By the way, many people on the Internet say that you will enter the entertainment industry. Is this true or not?"

"Enter the entertainment circle?" Qiao Xingnian couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "I have no such plan."

"With the speed at which you are becoming popular now, is there no entertainment company looking for you?"

"It really doesn't exist."

Qiao Xingnian's mobile phone number is only available to those who are close to him, and his ordinary friends only have his vx, and he has set his mobile phone to do-not-disturb mode. It is really not easy for strangers to call him. He has not been in Lake City recently, so no agency or entertainment company has contacted him so far.

"How is it possible?" Lin Lan looked Qiao Xingnian up and down, his eyes became brighter the more he looked, and said, "Xingnian, our company is planning to shoot a set of commercials, are you interested?"

Qiao Xingnian shook his head hastily, and said, "I'm already busy with the business of the tea house, and I don't want to cause trouble for myself."

"Why is this asking for trouble? As your popularity increases, the business of the tea house will get better and better. This is a win-win situation!" Speaking of making money, Lin Lan seemed to be activated.

"Stop it! My teahouse is only a big place. The customers who made an appointment yesterday have already been lined up for a week later. I'm really afraid that I won't be able to keep busy. Although money is a good thing, I don't want to lose my time because of money."

Qiao Xingnian's image and temperament are much better than those idols who rely on makeup and powder, and it fits the needs of their company's spokesperson.

What's more, they were old friends for many years and knew each other well. Lin Lan trusted Qiao Xingnian and didn't want to give up this opportunity.

"Xingnian, just help me this time, I promise you will be paid no worse than those stars, how about it?"

Qiao Xingnian said with a wry smile: "Sister Lin, we have been together for so many years, you should understand my temperament, I am very lazy, and I opened this teahouse because I really like it. Besides, Sister Lin should know about the entertainment circle. How deep the water is, my temper is really not suitable."

"I know. I'm just asking you for a favor. I didn't let you really enter the entertainment industry. You also said that we have known each other for so many years. You should also understand my character. I will not harm you."

"Sorry, Sister Lin, I really don't want to do this."

Qiao Xingnian resolutely refused, he was never short of money, and he was not too attached to money.If making money would deprive him of his freedom, no matter how much he earned, he would give it up.He puts all his effort into the teahouse because he likes it, even loves it.Other things, in his opinion, are dispensable.

Lin Lan was a little disappointed, and said unwillingly, "I'm not in a rush for the ad over there, you can think about it again."

Seeing that Qiao Xingnian was about to refuse, Lin Lan quickly interrupted him, saying: "Don't refuse in a hurry, give yourself time to think about it, maybe you will change your mind."

Lin Lan had already said so much, Qiao Xingnian could only smile helplessly, and said, "Okay, but sister Lin, don't have too much hope, I won't go if there are no accidents."

"Things are impermanent, and no one can tell what will happen next moment, so don't be so absolute." Lin Lan looked at the time and said, "It's getting late, I have a meeting to hold, you let people Bring the tea to my office, and I'll go first."

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "Sister Lin, don't worry, they're packed, and I'll have someone send them over."

Lin Lan responded, turned around and left the teahouse.

Seeing this, Wu Hai came over and asked softly, "Boss, why did Liu Hao leave just now?"

"He was fired." Qiao Xingnian looked at Wu Hai and said calmly: "I didn't notice it during the interview, and I didn't notice it during the training. As soon as I left, he showed his original shape. The teahouse doesn't need this Kind of people."

Wu Hai's expression turned ugly, and he said, "Sorry, boss, I... I don't want to cause trouble either. He's a local and well-known. He said that if I dare to sue, he'll make me look good, so..."

Qiao Xingnian was silent for a while, and said: "A cowardly person always thinks that if he backs down, he will be safe, but he doesn't know that his backing down will only make the other party more unscrupulous, and they will make progress again and again.

And that cowardly person will give up his bottom line again and again because of this, only to find out in the end that the other party will not let him go if he is not squeezed dry.What do you think his final result will be? "

Wu Hai stared at Qiao Xingnian in a daze, and didn't speak for a long time. He didn't come back to his senses until the store door was pushed open, and said, "Boss, I'm going to greet the guests first."

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "Okay."

Wu Hai walked towards the guests in some embarrassment, tried his best to put on a smiling face, and said, "Welcome, how many guests?"

"Three, is there a private room? We need to talk about something."

"Yes, the three of you come with me."

One of the gray-haired middle-aged men walked towards the counter, looked at Qiao Xingnian and asked, "Are you the boss?"

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "I am, what do you need?"

The man smiled kindly and said, "I heard that the boss is good at making tea, can I trouble the boss to make a pot for us?"

"Of course, my pleasure. What would you like to drink, sir?"

"I heard that the boss just came back from Yunnan, and he must have brought in a lot of good tea, so he brewed a pot for us to try something new."

Qiao Xingnian responded and said, "Those guys go to the private room to sit down first, and I'll go up to entertain some of you when I'm ready."

"Okay, trouble boss."

Seeing this, Wu Hai hurriedly greeted the three of them to go upstairs. Qiao Xingnian looked at the man's back and felt familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he saw him.

Qiao Xingnian pondered for a while, took the loose tea bought from Zheng Qiao, poured some filtered spring water, put it on the tea tray, and went upstairs with it.

Standing on the second floor, Qiao Xingnian looked around and saw Wu Hai was standing at the door of the green chrysanthemum room, so he walked over.

Seeing Qiao Xingnian coming, Wu Hai hurriedly greeted him and said, "Boss, let me help you."

"No, you go down to entertain the guests, just leave it to me here."

Wu Hai withdrew his hand resentfully, and said, "Then... I'll go down first."

Qiao Xingnian watched him turn and go downstairs, and couldn't help sighing, he had already said what should be said, as for what to do in the future, it was up to him.

Without thinking about it, Qiao Xingnian went straight to the door of the green chrysanthemum room, knocked on the door, and walked in.He looked at the three people in the room, smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm deaf, I can't hear the door answering, I hope I didn't disturb the three of you."

The three of them looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. It was obvious that they didn't know that Qiao Xingnian had ear problems.

The man who had talked with Qiao Xingnian before asked curiously: "The boss can't hear? How does he know what we are talking about?"

"I can read lips, so there is no obstacle for you to communicate with me."

"Lip language?" The three of them looked at each other again, with some surprise in their eyes.

Qiao Xingnian came to the table, put down the tea tray, and said, "You three, this is the tea I bought from the Licheng tea garden. It has no brand name. It belongs to Yunnan green tea. The owner of the tea garden personally picked it from an ancient tea tree. I I have tasted it, it tastes very good, let the three of you try it today."

The man nodded and said with a smile: "If you can get the boss's praise, you can't go wrong, so let's try it."

Qiao Xingnian concentrated on making tea, completely ignoring the people around him, so he didn't know what they said. He didn't raise his head until the tea was poured into the cups, put the three cups of tea in front of the three of them, and said, "Three Please."

The fragrance of the tea is overflowing, refreshing, and the soup is clear and bright, which makes people feel happy after seeing it. The three of them have concluded that this tea must be good tea just by watching and smelling it.

"Good tea, good tea!" The man couldn't help but praise loudly, saying: "After drinking tea for so many years, I only realized today that I used to drink water like a cow before, so coming here is considered tea tasting."

"It's really good tea!" The other two also echoed, and it could be seen that what they said was sincere.

"Hearing what the three said, I feel relieved. I was afraid that the three would not be used to drinking."

Some people drink tea and only drink brand names, thinking that loose tea is low-grade tea, but they don’t know that some teas are really good teas even though they are not well-known.

"How can you not be used to drinking such a good tea, let's have another cup."

Qiao Xingnian refilled another cup for the man, cupped his hands and said, "For good tea, you need to meet someone who can taste it. The three of you are exactly that. It's a pleasure to meet you."

When the three of them heard this, they immediately laughed, imitating Qiao Xingnian, bowed their hands, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Boss Qiao, you are Geng this year?" Maybe it was because of Qiao Xingnian's attire, or maybe it was because of the hand-over ceremony just now, that made the three people present pay attention to their speech.

"I'm sixteen in my twenties this year. I don't know the surnames of the gentlemen?"

"My surname is Lin, his surname is Zhen, and his surname is Sun." The men introduced Qiao Xingnian one by one.

Qiao Xingnian was startled when he heard that, and then asked with a smile, "Does Mr. Lin know Lin Nanyue?"

As soon as Qiao Xingnian heard that his surname was Lin, he suddenly realized, no wonder he looked familiar, this was clearly what Lin Nanyue looked like when he was old.

Lin Zhaoming laughed "haha" and said, "It seems that Boss Qiao has guessed it. That's right, I am Nan Yue's father."

Qiao Xingnian quickly said, "Uncle Lin, I'm really sorry I didn't recognize you just now."

Lin Zhaoming waved his hand and said, "This is the first time we've met. How could you possibly know who I am? Those who don't know are not guilty."

"Uncle Lin, I heard from Nanyue that you are very busy on weekdays. I never thought that you would have time to drink tea at the tea house."

"I'm not as busy as him. I'm in a city, but I don't see him a few times a year. I almost forgot that I have such a son." Lin Zhaoming couldn't hide his dissatisfaction when he mentioned Lin Nanyue.

"Nanyue is indeed busy. He always said that being a policeman can take care of everyone but not Xiaojia. He also said that he is not filial and cannot always be by his uncle and aunt's side."

Qiao Xingnian can fully understand Lin Zhaoming's feelings. After all, which parent doesn't want their children to be by their side, and doesn't worry about their safety. The nature of Lin Nanyue's work runs counter to their parents' expectations, and it is reasonable for them to complain.

"He really said that?" Lin Zhaoming looked at Qiao Xingnian suspiciously.

Qiao Xingnian smiled and said, "Uncle Lin, Nanyue is your son. You still don't know what kind of temperament he is. He just doesn't know how to express his love for his uncle and aunt. Just a while ago, I heard He said that I got the best Mingqian Duyun Maojian here, so I immediately bought ten catties and sent it to you. This time I went to Yunnan, and saw that I bought so many good teas, so I asked me to keep them for you. , when he is free, I will send it to you personally. Uncle, you said, if Nanyue didn't have you in his heart, how could he do this?"

"He still has a little conscience." Lin Zhaoming's mouth was raised, obviously in a good mood.

"You drink tea." Qiao Xingnian turned to look at Sun Yao and Zhenxian, and said, "The two uncles also drink tea."

Lin Zhaoming and the others are tea lovers, and they had endless conversations with Qiao Xingnian. Two hours later, they drank three pots of tea.

Lin Zhaoming stood up with a lot of thought, and said: "No wonder those two boys are full of praise for you. You are indeed much better than them. We have something to do today. We will come back another day."

"Uncle Lin, wait a moment, Nanyue asked me to leave tea for you, I'll get it for you."

Lin Zhaoming smiled and said, "OK, then we'll wait."

Sun Yao and Zhenxian immediately interjected after hearing the words: "How can we just wait and see? Boss Qiao can't be partial. You have to give us a piece of the tea you gave Lao Lin."

Qiao Xingnian said with some embarrassment: "The portion of the tea I bought this time is not much. If it is divided into three portions, it may only be two catties per person..."

When Lin Zhaoming heard this, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Xingnian, and said, "Xiao Nian, don't listen to them. The kid from Nanyue asked you to leave this tea to me. It's not for them."

"Hey, old Lin, you're going too far. You can't take such a good tea all by yourself. It's fine if we don't know, but today we all came together. You can't let us leave empty-handed."

"That's right, we've been friends for decades, don't you have any affection?"

"It's only six catties. If you share it with you, how many days can you drink? There is no affection in front of good tea."

"You! You old Lin, it's too much to say that!"

Seeing that the three of them were about to quarrel, Qiao Xingnian said helplessly: "Don't quarrel, my uncles, how about this, I will share the tea I left for myself with the two uncles, two catties per person, what do you think? "

Zhenxian and Sun Yao immediately smiled when they heard the words, and said, "Okay, two catties per person is two catties per person."

"Those three uncles, wait a moment, I'll get them for you right away." Qiao Xingnian turned and left the private room.

Lin Zhaoming looked at Qiao Xingnian's back and said with a smile, "Xiao Nian is not bad, that kid from Nanyue saw the right person."

"There are not many young people nowadays who can have this kind of self-cultivation. This kid is really good." Zhenxian turned to look at Sun Yao and said, "Old Sun, Qiaoyin doesn't have a boyfriend yet. Not bad, don't you think about it?"

Sun Yao's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "You have a good idea. The young man looks good and has a good character. He is indeed a good candidate for a son-in-law."

"That's right. My family is only a son, but if there is a daughter, I can't give it to you. If Xiaonian becomes a son-in-law, he will still be short of good tea in the future."

"Haha, you are right. At that time, only you will beg me to drink tea." The more Sun Yao thought about it, the more he felt that Qiao Xingnian was the best candidate for a son-in-law, and said, "I'll give that to you right now." The girl calls, no matter what, I can't let others take the lead."

Qiao Xingnian would never have imagined that someone would be thinking about his life's event as soon as he took a piece of tea.Seeing him coming back, Sun Yao hurriedly stepped forward, took the tea leaves graciously, asked about his birthday, asked about his family situation, asked for his phone number and vx, and pretended to be discussing how to make tea. Skill.

Sitting on the sidelines, Lin Zhaoming felt a little uncomfortable watching, secretly regretting why he didn't have a daughter, otherwise he would have found Qiao Xingnian as his son-in-law, completely unaware of his precious son, and had long since missed his fancy son-in-law.

Qiao Xingnian sent them to the door and watched the three get into a black commercial vehicle. He didn't turn back to the store until the car was out of sight.

Seeing him coming in, Liu Man quickly said, "Boss, there was a transfer of 5 yuan just now."

Qiao Xingnian was startled, then smiled, knowing that it must be the tea money from Lin Zhaoming, and said, "Got it."

Qiao Xingnian looked up at the clock on the wall and said, "Wu Hai, it's noon, you go to eat."

Wu Hai responded, hesitated, and said, "Boss, can I treat you to dinner?"

"Okay, then go buy it, let's go to the private room upstairs to eat."

Hearing Qiao Xingnian's promise, Wu Hai smiled and said, "I'll go right away."

Seeing Wu Hai going out, Liu Man came to Qiao Xingnian's side and said, "Boss, something is wrong with Wu Hai today, maybe it's because of Liu Hao's matter."

Qiao Xingnian turned to look at her and said, "What do you want to say?"

"Boss, apart from being a little cowardly, Wu Hai is pretty good in everything else, especially his work, he is diligent and neat. Our store is short of manpower. If he doesn't make any big mistakes, let him stay."

"Listen to you, he should have done something wrong too?"

Liu Man was startled, and then said with a wry smile: "Boss, sometimes you are too smart to be likable."
