struggle in a small town

Chapter 14 You come to help me
Zhao Yang led Zhang Yuqiao away.

Zhang Xuejiao looked at the tired and crooked backs of the two, muttered something nasty, and then started the car.

Lin Zhiyuan hesitated for a long time, and summoned up the courage to ask her: "I added your QQ, why didn't you pass?"

Zhang Xuejiao glanced at him from the rearview mirror: "Did you add me? I thought it was an online scam. Why don't you add more, and I'll pass in a while."

Lin Zhiyuan immediately took out his mobile phone, adding her while befriending her: "You have sent me off twice, and I still don't know what to call you."

"Anything, Xiao Zhang, sister Jiao is fine."

Lin Zhiyuan asked nervously, "Can Jiaojiao do it?"

"That's fine." Zhang Xuejiao didn't care at all: "That's what Yingzi calls me."

Lin Zhiyuan called out "Jiaojiao" softly, inexplicably feeling that the pronunciation of these two words was a bit sweet.

Just like last time, Zhang Xuejiao left him by the side of the road and left.

Lin Zhiyuan watched the car leave with a particularly happy mood.

When I got home, I washed up in a hurry, picked up my phone and found that Zhang Xuejiao had passed his friend request.

With great restraint, he still couldn't hold back, and sent a message: Did you sleep?
No movement.

Lin Zhiyuan looked at the time, it was quite late, he might have gone to bed already.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Xuejiao suddenly sent back a message: I just took a shower and was going to sleep.

Lin Zhiyuan clicked on the screen for a long time, wrote and deleted, deleted and wrote, and finally sent a message: Thank you for sending me, and treat you to dinner another day.

Zhang Xuejiao replied quickly: "You're welcome, it's on the way."I'm going to sleep, see you later.

Lin Zhiyuan quickly replied "good night", looking at the word "see you", he felt that Zhang Xuejiao was perfunctory to him.

Maybe it was just like what she said, sending him off was just a drop in, and it had no other meaning.

Zhang Xuejiao closed the dialog box with Lin Zhiyuan, and clicked on the chat with the note "dumbly": Did you tell mom to live with me?My mother just called me and insisted on asking you to answer it, it scared me to death.

The other side came back: my good sister~ help me cover it up.

Zhang Xuejiao sent a fierce expression: You let me take the blame again.

The other person returned after a while: I won’t tell you anymore, we are eating crayfish.

Zhang Xuejiao sent an angry expression and closed the chat box.

Go to bed and sleep, and make money tomorrow.

The next day when Lin Zhiyuan was having dinner, he received a call from Chen Lei, saying that he had something to discuss with him.

He hurried to the agreed place, and Chen Lei was already waiting there.

Time was tight, and Chen Lei didn't beat around the bush: "There is a car wash shop at the gate of my community for sale. I want to sell it. Come and help me."

Lin Zhiyuan thought he would help him to take a look, so he agreed, "Okay, I'll check it out for you."

"I don't want you to check it out, I want you to be the store manager and help me run the business."

This was unexpected.

Chen Lei said self-consciously: "The business of this store is very good, and the boss is in a hurry to sell it because of something at home. I discussed it with my wife, and I can do it. My wife said, anyway, you and I are good buddies, and you don't have it now. If you don’t want to work, let you be the store manager, we don’t worry about it.”

When Lin Zhiyuan heard that it was Chen Lei's wife Liu Li's idea, he immediately rejected it.

Although I don't have much contact with Liu Li, I know that she is a very stingy person after the limited few times.

It's just that in front of Chen Lei, you have to organize your language so as not to hurt your friendship.

Before Lin Zhiyuan could come up with anything, Chen Lei stretched out three fingers: "I will give you a basic salary of 3 a month, and I will give you a percentage of the profit at the end of the month, one thousandth, how about it?"

Lin Zhiyuan had never been in contact with a car wash shop before, and he didn't even know how much the car wash shop's monthly profit was, let alone the one-thousandth commission, which was high or low for a car wash shop.

And the salary of 3 a month, to be honest, is not enough for him to eat.

Most importantly, he didn't want to work for others, not even Chen Lei.

But Chen Lei is his friend for many years, so it is definitely inappropriate to refuse in person.

After thinking about it, he compromised: "I can take care of you for you in the early stage. When it stabilizes, you should find someone else. I have to do my own business."

Seeing that he agreed, Chen Lei immediately took him to the car wash shop.

It was only after entering the store that Chen Lei had already sold the store a few days ago, but no one helped him with the store.

The former boss was really in a hurry, including the things in the store, Chen Lei spent a total of more than 8 yuan to get it done.

The shop covers an area of ​​more than 90 square meters. The rent is 4500 per month, and the rent is due next month.

There are four car wash bays on the right side, and shelves on the other side full of car supplies.

Lin Zhiyuan walked around the store and felt that the decoration would cost tens of thousands of yuan, and Chen Lei was not at a loss.

He looked at the large car towel by the wall, and asked casually, "How about the water and electricity bills?"

Chen Lei was stunned.

Lin Zhiyuan turned around: "You don't know, do you?"

"I really do not know."

Chen Lei hurriedly called his former boss, but no one answered.

Lin Zhiyuan walked to the counter: "Look for receipts or something."

The two rummaged for a long time and found the receipt from the corner of the counter. Only then did Chen Lei know that the electricity fee was 1 kWh and the water fee was 5 yuan per ton.

Chen Lei was very surprised: "Why is the water bill so expensive?"

"That's for sure." Lin Zhiyuan sorted out the receipts: "The water used by car wash shops is definitely different from that used by residents."

"Electricity is also expensive."

"Your electricity belongs to commercial use, and 1 yuan and 5 yuan are normal."

Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help frowning as he spoke.

It is conceivable that Chen Lei didn't investigate thoroughly at all, and picked up this store on a whim.

Chen Lei is full of confidence: "I look at it every day when I go in and out. The business of this store is really good, and there is absolutely no problem."

Lin Zhiyuan let out a "hmm" and continued: "We still have to recruit people. Each car is counted as two people, and at least eight people must be recruited."

"No need?" When Chen Lei heard that he was going to pay 8 people, he felt a pain in his heart: "Let's hire 4."

Lin Zhiyuan looked at him: "You are the boss, you have the final say."

"Anyway, I'll leave it to you, just watch and do it."

Lin Zhiyuan was most afraid of hearing such words, and just as he was about to say something, Chen Lei's cell phone rang.

"Hey wife."

"We're at the gate of the community."

"Go, go, go."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Lei greeted Lin Zhiyuan: "Go, go to my house for dinner."

"I've eaten it all."

Lin Zhiyuan really didn't want to go.

Liu Li is not only stingy, but also difficult to get along with.

In the past, every time Lin Zhiyuan went to look for Chen Lei, he would always hear her say something strange, clearly not welcoming him.

Chen Lei didn't care what he thought, and dragged him home with him.

After hesitating, he followed back.

Entering Chen Lei's house, two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, were placed on the dining table, but there were three people sitting at the table.

Chen Lei's mother, wife and son.

Lin Zhiyuan looked at the two dishes, and then looked at so many people, he could only politely say: "Auntie, sister-in-law, I have already eaten, and I just came up to say hello to you. You eat, I'm leaving now. "

This time Chen Lei didn't stop him, Lin Zhiyuan quickly went downstairs.

After the door was closed, Liu Li scolded angrily: "How can anyone come here empty-handed? Lin Zhiyuan is too careless."
