Chapter 196 Miss Liu who came to deliver breakfast

The next day, Chen Li was woken up by Zhao Xiaohai.

Although I wasn't drunk last night, I did drink a little too much, so I slept for at least ten hours.

I woke up twice in the middle, once when I was holding back my urine, and once when I was woken up by the noise outside the dormitory in the morning.

This is probably one of the disadvantages of living in a collective dormitory, especially one that does not have a separate bathroom. When Chen Li gets up in the middle of the night, he has to run to the public toilet in the corridor to solve personal problems.

This simply takes Chen Limeng back to the days when he worked in a factory to make screws!

"Chen Li~ There is a classmate outside looking for you. It seems that he is your girlfriend."

After the drink last night, it was obvious that Zhao Xiaohai and Chen Li had become more "familiar" with each other.

Although her speaking voice is still a bit "gentle", she basically no longer has that shy feeling.

"What the hell?"

The dazed Chen Li was shocked by Zhao Xiaohai's words. He quickly got up and went to the balcony to take a look, but he did not see Liu Qingqing.

"Where is it?"

Chen Li asked Zhao Xiaohai while putting on his clothes.

"It's at the door of the dormitory! Just now a boy came to our dormitory and knocked on the door."

Zhao Xiaohai was not drunk last night, but he drank a lot. This guy was climbing up to his bunk at the moment, obviously preparing to take a nap.

"Oh~! Thank you!"

Chen Li agreed and looked around Dormitory 402.

There were only nine people in the dormitory at the moment. Luo Ming was no longer in the dormitory, and the other seven people were all fast asleep.

The entire dormitory was in a mess, and Chen Li shook his head as he smelled of alcohol.

After getting dressed and picking up his mobile phone, Chen Li realized that he had forgotten to charge his mobile phone when he came back last night, and the mobile phone was turned off at this moment.

"Oops!"

Chen Li had a bad premonition that Liu Qingqing must have been unable to get through to him on the phone, so he ran to the school to find her directly.

Without bothering to wash his face or brush his teeth, Chen Li left the dormitory with his turned off cell phone.

Sure enough, as soon as he left the dormitory building, Chen Li saw Liu Qingqing carrying a small bag.

"Chen Li~!"

Miss Liu also saw Chen Li. The girl first waved to Chen Li, but then put her hand down again, and then turned around as if she didn't see Chen Li.

OK~! Chen Li knew that Miss Liu was angry. So...

"Oh~ what are you doing!"

Liu Qingqing was so angry that she never expected that Chen Li would come up to her at the door of the dormitory and hug her.

"I forgot to charge my phone last night, I'm sorry!"

Chen Li did not continue to hug Liu Qingqing, but directly changed from hugging to holding her.

Liu Qingqing is still a little shy about hugging in public, but holding hands is not the same.

After being suddenly attacked by Chen Li, Miss Liu's previous "angry" turned into "annoyed" and "ashamed".

But compared to the latter two points, the "qi" in the front is obviously more threatening.

In addition, Chen Li apologized when he came up, and Liu Qingqing lost her anger instantly.

Of course, he still has a little temper, especially when Chen Li still smells of alcohol from last night.

"You still smell of alcohol. How much did you drink last night?"

Miss Liu sniffed, obviously dissatisfied with the smell of Chen Li, but she did not avoid it, but handed the bag she was carrying to Chen Li.

"Didn't you have breakfast? I bought you steamed buns and soy milk, but it's a bit cold."

"I have been waiting for you in your dormitory for almost twenty minutes. I asked three classmates to help me call you, but you just came out now."

"Tell me the phone number of your dormitory later, so that I can call your dormitory when your phone runs out of battery."

Chen Li nodded and opened the plastic bag handed over by Liu Qingqing.

This bun must have been bought in the cafeteria of the University of Foreign Studies, because the bun and soy milk were actually still hot.

If this was brought from Yanda, it would probably be cold by now.

"You haven't eaten either? Here."

Chen Li found that there were two cups of soy milk inside, and knew that the girl would come to find him as soon as she woke up.

In this case, it is obvious that the girl is worried that she drank too much last night.

Chen Li inserted the straw into a bag of soy milk and handed it to Liu Qingqing.

"Yeah~! Thank you!"

"Chen Li, please don't drink so much in the future, okay?"

"I heard you talking intermittently last night."

"How can I be intermittently? I remember that when I said I missed you, I said it smoothly!"

In fact, at this moment, Chen Li really couldn't remember what he talked about with Liu Qingqing last night. He just remembered that he said he missed Liu Qingqing last night.

"Hmph! Anyway, I don't care, drink less alcohol from now on."

There was a trace of shame on Miss Liu's face, her tone became more relaxed, and even a smile appeared on her face at the end.

Hmm~ It’s not very popular these days to be as direct as Chen Li between men and women.

There are actually very few people like Chen Li who always talk about liking and missing you.

Although with the progress of the times, the domestic atmosphere is gradually becoming more and more open, most young men and women still prefer to be reserved.

So when she met such a shameless guy like Chen Li, Miss Liu seemed a little unable to resist.

"Okay~! I promise you, try to drink as little as possible in the future."

Chen Li did not say anything, because he knew very well that sometimes it was not up to him to decide whether to drink or not.

Every age has its own unspoken rules, which are also uniquely reflected in wine culture.

More than ten years later, those born in the 1990s or even the 2000s could righteously say no to certain "hidden rules" at the wine table.

But in today's era, such "rejection" is difficult to achieve.

It's like an order. If the customer says you finish the bottle of wine, we will sign the contract. So will you drink it or not?

If it were really more than ten years later, there would definitely be young people saying no!

But in this era, the final choice of most people is to pick up a glass of wine.

Even if you drink yourself unconscious, vomit, or even end up in the hospital!

This actually reflects the progress of the times from another aspect! Because at that time, the bad habit of the wine table was no longer needed.

But now Chen Li didn't say anything.

Because he knew very well that if he really wanted to do something in the future, he would probably come into contact with the unspoken rules of the drinking table of this era.

Unless Chen Li has enough capital, the possibility of Chen Li accepting the unspoken rules of the wine table is very high.

But this is not absolute. Once Chen Li doesn't need to ask for help, then he naturally doesn't need to abide by the unspoken rules of the wine table.

Therefore, you still need to be strong when you are forging iron, and you need to work hard to become a master.

The campus of Yanwai University is not big and there are not many students, but the environment is acceptable.

Chen Li and Liu Qingqing finished breakfast under a bench on the roadside, but Liu Qingqing did not stay with Chen Li.

"Hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes. You stink like crazy."

"I know! I didn't have time to go back and change!"

Chen Li's luggage was all stored in the rental house, so he wore the same outfit as last night in the morning.

In Yanjing in September, the temperature is still quite high. In addition, Chen Li drank wine last night, so he still smelled a little bit.

"Okay then~! I'll go back first then!"

Liu Qingqing made an appointment with her roommate to go out together today. Because Liu Qingqing has already gone out twice in Yanjing, Liu Qingqing is the guide today.

As for Miss Liu running over to deliver breakfast to Chen Li early in the morning, well~ this is indeed something a girlfriend in love can do.

And this is also the benefit of the two schools not far away. If one is in the south and the other is in the north, it will take two hours just to take the bus back and forth, and naturally the connection will be lost.

"Hmm~! Then I won't send you back. It's hard for me to meet your roommate because I smell like drunk."

"When the military training is over, you can find a time to invite your roommates out and I'll treat them to dinner."

When college students fall in love, they must establish a certain relationship with their girlfriend's roommate. Even if they cannot be friends, it is best to leave a good impression on them.

Especially for someone like Chen Li who is not in a relationship with Liu Qingqing in the same school, his girlfriend and roommate should be more careful.

Otherwise, if the other party blows some "evil" wind in Liu Qingqing's ears from time to time in the future, it will be the end of the world.

Although these are not big things, over time, they will cause some problems between lovers.

Love is a matter of two people, but it is not just a matter of two people.

Many times, people are influenced by the people around them.

This is just like some "best friends" in TV series. Most of the reasons why those plots are so bloody are because of the things the bad friends and best friends in them do.

Of course, there is no need to be overly nervous about this, because the relationship between lovers is not as important as what others can affect.

Chen Li was just taking precautions, which was considered polite.

After all, Chen Li and Liu Qingqing will definitely need some help from Liu Qingqing's roommate in the future when they fall in love.

After sending Liu Qingqing away, Chen Li returned to the rental house. Huang Biao was not at home, but went to the shop.

After washing up, Chen Li changed his clothes, charged his mobile phone, and then went to the store.

"Brother Li, you are here."

"Just in time, the aunt who came to apply for the job yesterday is also here. She is waiting in the store!"

"Hmm~!"

Chen Li nodded. Huang Biao told him yesterday that an aunt came to the store to apply for a job as a handyman.

As soon as he entered the store, Chen Li frowned.

A middle-aged woman in her forties was sitting solemnly in the store.

What made Chen Li frown was the way this middle-aged woman was dressed. It was obvious that her family background might not be very good.

The clothes on my body are not only old, but also a little dirty.

Catering is actually very hygienic. Of course, some small restaurants in 1998 naturally didn't care much about this.

But Chen Li has been a "past" person, so he still has requirements for this.

Regarding fried chicken restaurants, Chen Li did not dare to say that they should meet the high standards of later generations, but at the very least, they should pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene.

From this point alone, this middle-aged woman actually did not meet Chen Li's recruitment requirements.

After all, this guy didn’t even ask to change into cleaner clothes when he applied for the job. So what will it be like to go to work in the future?

"Auntie~ This is our boss."

Huang Biao might have chatted with this aunt before, so he came directly to introduce Chen Li.

"Oh~ Hello boss!"

The middle-aged woman was a little nervous. Even though Chen Li was just a young man, sometimes being young meant it was difficult to deal with.

This aunt's Mandarin is extremely non-standard, and her accent sounds a bit like someone from Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan, and Hubei.

To be precise, it should have a Southwest Mandarin accent.

"Auntie, are you applying for a job as a handyman? Have you done similar work before?"

Since you are applying for a job, you cannot judge people by their appearance. If you dare to ask, you should still ask.

"I've done it! I used to work as a busboy in a restaurant."

The middle-aged woman seemed to be eager for this job. After Chen Li asked the question, she nodded quickly and said.

At this moment, Chen Li frowned even more because he detected a slightly pungent smell from the other party's body.

It smells a bit like disinfectant, to be precise, it smells like the disinfectant in hospitals.

"Auntie~ You are not a local, are you? Are you coming to the capital to work?"

Chen Li rubbed his temples. He drank a little too much wine last night, and his body was feeling a little uncomfortable at the moment.

"Well"

The middle-aged woman was obviously hesitant, or she didn't know how to answer Chen Li.

"Auntie, that's right, we are indeed recruiting handymen."

"But the working hours in our store are not short every day!"

"I think at your age, you should have children, so I'm worried about whether you are busy enough to come over."

In fact, Chen Li was vaguely guessing at this moment, but it was still better to ask about this kind of thing.

"Hey, to tell you the truth, boss, I am from Qian Province."

"I didn't come to the capital to work. My child is hospitalized here, so..."

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a while, but finally told the truth.

This aunt's surname is Song, she is from Qian Province, and she has a daughter who is attending university in Yanjing.

During the summer vacation, her daughter did not go home, but chose to find a summer job in Yanjing.

But at the beginning of this month, her daughter was sent to the hospital due to a car accident.

The cost of the hospital will naturally not be low, and Aunt Song's family is not well off, otherwise her daughter would not need to stay in Yanjing to work during the summer vacation.

Originally, Aunt Song's daughter's hospital expenses should be borne by the perpetrator, but the driver ran away.

For Aunt Song's family, which was not already wealthy, this was even worse.

The teacher who was Aunt Song's daughter helped advance the medical expenses and then notified Aunt Song.

Later, Aunt Song borrowed money from relatives at home and came to Yanjing to take care of her daughter. However, more than half a month had passed, and there was not much money left that Aunt Song had brought.

Previously, Aunt Song was taking care of her daughter while also thinking about finding a job.

But Aunt Song had no education or professional skills, so she had to work as a handyman in a small restaurant.

But Aunt Song only worked as a handyman in a small restaurant for five days.

Because she had to go to the hospital every day to take care of her daughter and deliver meals to her, which made the restaurant owner very dissatisfied.

Five days later, Aunt Song was fired and she didn't get a penny.

"Well, boss, I won't hide it from you. I may need to take some time to go to the hospital every day."

"so."

Aunt Song knew that her request was actually a bit excessive. After all, she was recruiting workers because the store needed them.

A request like hers is definitely inappropriate for someone who opens a store.

"Auntie~ Which university does your daughter go to?"

In fact, after hearing this, Chen Li felt a little sympathetic, but he was already ready to reject the other party.

Just as Aunt Song worried, the fried chicken restaurant really needs a handyman.

But Aunt Song's situation is actually too unstable. She came to Yanjing to take care of her daughter. She will probably return to Guizhou Province after her daughter is discharged from the hospital.

And according to what Aunt Song said, her daughter is expected to be discharged from the hospital soon. Once Aunt Song leaves, Chen Li will have to recruit people again.

This is very troublesome!

Doing business is not about running a charity. Chen Li can ask Huang Biao to find out the true situation of the matter. He can even help Aunt Song.

But he really couldn't give me this job.

"My daughter! She is from the Polytechnic University next door. She majors in computer science."

When she mentioned her daughter, Aunt Song's face shone and her tone was full of pride.

"Uh~! It's a computer."

Chen Li was a little surprised, not that girls were learning computer science. Because computer science is the most popular major these days, both men and women actually take it.

What surprised him was that Aunt Song's daughter was from Yenching University of Science and Technology.

It's not because he favors boys over girls! It's because he thinks it's a bit of a coincidence.

Well~ It’s actually because in the near future, Chen Li happens to have something that he needs some computer professionals to help him complete.

Before, Chen Li was thinking that after school started, he would go to the Polytechnic University opposite from time to time!

Although the computer major of the Polytechnic University is not as good as that of Huaqing, Huaqing’s Chen Li can’t afford it!

"Okay~ Let's settle it then!"

"The store won't be open for another two days, so there won't be much going on these two days."

"When the store opens, Huang Biao will notify you."

"By the way, where do you live now?"

Because of a certain purpose that may not yet come to fruition, Chen Li decided to hire Aunt Song.

Not to mention that after he heard what happened to Aunt Song, he actually already had the idea of ​​​​helping her.

And when Aunt Song’s daughter is discharged from the hospital, why can’t she come to the store to take a look?

At that time, even if you don’t find Aunt Song’s daughter, you can just ask the other party to introduce two seniors who have passed the technical test!

As for the previous thought that Aunt Song was not suitable for this job, hey~ there is nothing suitable or inappropriate about a job.

At worst, when Aunt Song leaves, we can just recruit new people. How simple!

"I am now staying with you in the hospital at night."

"Boss, you really...!"

Aunt Song first answered Chen Li's question, and then asked hesitantly.

After all, she was ready to leave just now, because she also saw that the young boss in front of her didn't seem to be ready to hire her.

"Hmm~! It's four hundred yuan a month. When the time comes, Aunt Song, you can calculate your salary based on how many days you can work!"

"By the way, our store also includes food and accommodation."

Four hundred yuan a month, in the eyes of later generations, Chen Li was simply a black-hearted boss.

But in fact, in 1998, the average monthly salary of a handyman in Yanjing was only about 300.

Let's put it this way! In 1998, the average social salary in Yanjing City was only around one thousand.

Note~ This is the average salary, and this is Yanjing City. As you can imagine, the four hundred yuan given by Chen Li is definitely quite good, and it also includes food and accommodation!

This is also the reason why there were young and beautiful girls applying for jobs in the past.

Hmm~ I'm talking about the girl Huang Biao wanted Chen Li to recruit. Just because the girl didn't look like a worker, Chen Li rejected her.

"Ah~Thank you boss~Thank you boss! Thank you~!"

Seeing that the job was settled, Aunt Song's mood suddenly improved and she said thank you several times.

"No need to thank you. Aunt Song, you can take some time to go to the hospital to take care of your daughter every day, as long as it's not a meal."

Fried chicken restaurants are considered a catering industry, and they are definitely busiest during meal times, so Chen Li must discuss this in advance.

"No problem, no problem."

Of course, Aunt Song also understands this. In fact, when she was at the small restaurant, she missed her meal and went to the hospital.

But the owner of the small restaurant was not as easy to talk to as Chen Li.

"Hmm~ By the way, do you need help solving the accommodation problem?"

"No, thank you boss! I have to take care of my daughter at night! I'll just lay the floor in the hospital."

Aunt Song was staying in the hospital during this period. After all, her daughter needed someone to take care of her.

This means that her daughter's health has gotten better recently, otherwise she would not be able to find work.

Ask the nurse to help take a look during the day, but she still has to go to the hospital to keep an eye on her at night.

"Uh~! Aunt Song, our store sells food, so we still have to pay attention to personal hygiene."

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Li finally said what he said. Although it was a bit "hurtful" to say it, he had to say it.

Aunt Song looked at her clothes and understood the meaning of Chen Li's words.

"Okay~Boss! I know, don't worry, I will pay attention."

However, Aunt Song didn't think there was anything "hurtful" in Chen Li's words. After all, Chen Li was definitely a good person if he could give her this job.

Moreover, catering companies really need to pay attention to hygiene issues. Otherwise, when customers see people in the store being dirty and lose the desire to buy anything, how can they still do business?

"Hmm~! It's settled then. Huang Biao, please contact Aunt Song."

Chen Li nodded again and walked out of the fried chicken restaurant.

Across the road, Chen Li first looked at the University of Foreign Studies opposite, and then turned his attention to the Polytechnic University next to it.

"Tsk~!"

“This place is really suitable for starting a business!”

That’s all 6,000 words for today! Lao Yun just came back from a business trip today. I’m really a little tired. I’ll find time to make up for it someday. By the way, why do I feel sorry for you when I coded 6,000 words? It seems like my current update speed

Compared with the extra rules I mentioned before, I am actually the one with more rules! This
