Chapter 1667 Request
Zhang Yan wore a blue coat and carried a plaid bag that was not yet popular on the street. Like a British gentleman, she held a black long-handled umbrella in her hand. The sea breeze was indeed a little cold, but it made people feel refreshed and fresh. She walked along the beach step by step, energetically towards the hotel.
So, along the way, she not only left two lines of footprints, but also a line of thin and shallow holes, which were poked by the tip of the umbrella.
She thought that in the afternoon, some tourists might think that some of them were crab nests.
Yes, she is not only in a good mood now, but also very motivated. She doesn't feel uncomfortable at all to get up early to go to work in the hotel.
Because if there is no emergency, she will leave the hotel after the New Year and become a small boss of a bakery, so she still cherishes the time she spends working in the hotel and getting along with her colleagues.
Although she still has to wait until the New Year to go home to win the support of her parents, it should be no problem.
The preparations for the first bakery were actually ready. Although the storefront had not been finalized, there were already three suitable locations. These were not chosen by her, but by Jin Ling's group's site selection team.
This site selection team was originally part of Youjia Convenience, which only selected locations for convenience stores. Later, it was adjusted to be directly under the headquarters management, and its business scope was expanded to hotels, home textiles, baby products stores, etc., covering all the businesses that the group needed to select locations.
Zhang Yan believed in the professional ability of the team. She had visited the three candidate houses and was quite satisfied with them.
With these three alternatives, she was not worried about not being able to rent a store after the New Year.
The employees of the bakery were also simple. They would be interns in the hotel restaurant at this time, ensuring that they could start work immediately when the business opened.
She was a person who had no ambitions. The reason she went to work was because everyone had to go to work, but she never thought about becoming a manager or general manager after work - so she got along well with her colleagues.
As for the decision to open a store now, it was because Feng Yiping and Jin Ling both suggested that she do so.
And she also thinks it's pretty good. Of course, it's impossible to count money until your hands cramp when running such a store, but it's more than enough to take care of your own expenses and save some dowry for yourself.
The most important point is that when the business of the store is on the right track, the dream of sleeping until you wake up naturally can still be realized.
Even if it can't be done every day, it's no problem to do it at least half of the time in a week.
Sleeping until 8 or 9 in the morning, and taking a nap in the sea breeze at noon, such a day, just thinking about it is pretty good.
Of course, it's not without worries. The colleagues around me and the former classmates now have boyfriends one after another, and some of them have already had several ex-boyfriends.
As for myself, it's really hard to say in my current state. Is it, no, no, it seems not, it's always hanging.
But she is also open-minded about this. It may affect her whole life, so she is not in a hurry at this moment. This situation may change one day, or one day she will meet someone who can replace the person in her heart now?
Even if there is none, it doesn't matter. I'm only 21 years old. It won't be too late to seriously consider this issue in another 5 or 6 years. It's actually quite good to be alone away from my parents.
Perhaps the biggest problem is that I will be a little scared at night when I live in a house by myself in the future, but this is not impossible to overcome.
She smiled and greeted her colleagues who were about to hand over their shifts, took off her coat, and hurried to the restaurant for breakfast. Looking at the dazzling array of choices, she felt that this was a pity. The hotel's employee meals are definitely a very good benefit, but it's just that I'm embarrassed to enjoy this benefit in the future.
But it doesn't matter. After eating such exquisite meals in the hotel for so long, it's actually not bad to go out and change the taste, cook it yourself, or eat in those popular restaurants.
However, just after the handover, when she just logged into the system with her own username, she saw Huang Jingping's call.
She's looking for me?
Zhang Yan hesitated. Should she answer it or not?
Huang Jingping didn't call her often, but she sent her a lot of text messages. In addition to the holidays, she would also send her greetings or exchanges. The main content of the exchanges was actually equivalent to notifications, such as where he was on a business trip, when he would return home, etc.
Zhang Yan replied to the greeting text messages, but she didn't reply to any of the communication text messages. Who is he, who am I, and why should I reply?
During her stay in China, she also took the initiative to contact her several times, but this was the first time she received a long-distance call from the United States.
Is there something going on? She was still hesitating, and the phone had already hung up.
But after a while, the phone rang again, and it was Huang Jingping again.
Zhang Yang didn't hesitate this time and answered it immediately. Otherwise, the phone would keep ringing for her like this.
"Hello,"
"Hello Zhang Yan," Huang Jingping was always more polite than her, "How are you doing recently,"
"I'm fine," Zhang Yan said.
But she felt that Huang Jingping's voice sounded a little hoarse. Was it a cold or a flu?
"Is work going well?"
"Not bad,"
"Is everything fine at home?"
"Fine, you and your daughter are fine too?" Zhang Yan felt more and more that something must be wrong with Huang Jingping.
"Very good," Huang Jingping smiled, "I should have visited you the last time I returned to China, but the time was too short,"
"Actually, there's really no need. Just do your own thing. It's not on my way to my place." Indeed, one is from the south and the other is from the north. It's meaningless to go to such an awkward meeting.
"The main thing is that I have a lot to say to you," Huang Jingping said, "So Zhang Yan, how about this, or you come to the United States recently?"
Let me go to the United States to see you? Before Zhang Yan could speak, Huang Jingping explained, "Zhang Yan, listen to me, I'm not asking you to come to the United States to see me, but there is something here, and I hope to hear your ideas,"
It's probably something related to him. When Zhang Yan heard this, combined with her feeling of Huang Jingping's state, she had some bad associations.
"Jingping," Zhang Yan called Huang Jingping's name for the first time during this call, "Let's talk on the phone,"
"Okay, is it convenient for you?" Huang Jingping asked.
Zhang Yan heard the sound of tissues being drawn over there, and there seemed to be sobbing.
This time, I'm afraid it's almost certain.
"Wait a minute," she gestured to her colleagues and walked into the lounge, "You say,"
"Zhang Yan, do you know, Yiping, Yiping, he has someone else outside," Huang Jingping's voice was low, Zhang Yan could feel that she had spent a lot of effort to restrain herself from crying.
She should be the one who least wanted him to see that side of her.
"Not only did he have someone, he also had a son with that American girl, that son is half a year older than Amanda, and now, they also live in Silicon Valley,"
Zhang Yan didn't know what to say.
She could especially understand Huang Jingping's current feelings, because she had also experienced Huang Jingping's current stage.
When she heard that Huang Jingping and he had a child, she had wandered in the sea and mountains of China for so long, and exiled herself for so long, and then she thought it through.
Moreover, she soon found out that he already had another woman and another child.
He probably thought that it was better to suffer a short pain than a long one, so he told her all at once.
There was another sound of pulling out tissues, "Zhang Yan, you know, I know that you are the one he should marry, so this matter is also related to you. If it is other matters, I will definitely not bother you,"
"I can only discuss this matter with you. I am very confused now and don't know what to do. I have kicked him out. I really hope that you can come to the United States to see how to deal with this matter,"
"You kicked her out?" Zhang Yan asked, "That's not it, that's not it,"
"Humph, he still knows some sense. He doesn't live there. He lives in another house, but that house is probably also bought for that place,"
"But these are not important now. I really don't know what to do," Huang Jingping said, "I am also worried that if it is not handled well, it will affect the development of you and him, so Zhang Yan, can you come to the United States and we discuss it?"
"Jingping, this, from the standpoint of a friend, I hope you can be strong, but other things..."
"Wait," Huang Jingping seemed to realize something, "You knew about this a long time ago, right?"
