Chapter 470 Patience Is the Most Important Thing

Zheng Wei apologized, but it was no different with Wang Yan. During class, he still sat behind Zhu Xiaobei and Li Weijuan. After class, he still chatted with Ruan Guan and the others, except Zheng Wei.

Zheng Wei was angry at being treated so differently. He heard Xiaobei say that Zheng Wei's words in his sleep at night were all scolding him.

In response, Wang Yan just shook his head and smiled, saying nothing, and it was still the same.

Regarding the death of his parents, Zhu Xiaobei did not tell him, perhaps because he was afraid that he would be sad, and Li Weijuan and Ruan Wan did not say anything either. Still chatting and laughing with him as before.

Taking courses from two departments has enriched him a lot. In the past, sometimes he might not attend a single class a day, but now he always attends four classes a day. There is always something he needs to learn. And even though sometimes he doesn't need to study courses in either department, occasionally he will take sophomore classes, which is pretty good.

In the blink of an eye, on Saturday, after studying for a whole morning and half an afternoon, Wang Yan put on his coat and went to the family building.

Far away, I saw a man standing at the door of the family building, carrying a brown leather bag, wearing a white knitted sweater with a few red flowers on his upper body, and a pair of jeans with normal trousers on the lower body. The trousers are straight and white canvas shoes are on the feet. In the autumn wind that accompanied the falling maple leaves, the black hair on her shawl fluttered. She put her hands behind her back and tentatively balanced on the curb with her toes, enjoying herself.

This look can still be called fashionable even after more than 20 years. Of course, the premise is that you have to be good-looking and have the right figure to complement it. Otherwise, no matter how well you dress up, if you look at a big face and a disheveled body, or if your appearance is too cliché, you won’t feel anything. A normal person would probably say, ‘The clothes are so pretty’…

Wang Yan lit a cigarette, leaned against a billboard not far away, and watched Shi Jie amusing himself with a smile.

After playing for a while, Shi Jie finally noticed that someone was paying attention, and finally looked around without hesitation. At a glance, she saw Wang Yan, who was carelessly smoking a cigarette not far away. Their eyes met, and she showed a bright smile and waved hello.

When Wang Yan put down his cigarette butt and approached, she asked, "How long have you been here?"

"It's just a cigarette. I see you are having fun, so I won't bother you."

"Do you think I'm naive?"

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "That's childlike innocence, which is rare."

Meeting his eyes, Shi Jie blushed a little. She raised her wrist and looked at her watch: "It's already four o'clock now. Let's go quickly. I haven't eaten at noon. Let's go have a big meal quickly."

The two walked side by side to the stop to wait for the bus.

"Aren't you taking courses from two departments? How have you been studying recently? Are you tired?"

"Fortunately, I have already attended the sophomore classes in the Department of Architecture."

"Amazing!"

"Am I a genius?"

Shi Jie curled her lips at Wang Yan's shamelessness, and asked again: "How are you doing with the barbecue restaurant you opened with Sister Zhu? I originally wanted to check it out, but the bun shop has closed again. Where is the new store? I don’t know.”

The store decoration was actually very fast, and Wang Yan didn't design anything messy and fancy, so it basically didn't take long. And he gave another 20,000 yuan. In terms of current prices, renting a house and decorating it, how can you spend this much. So he asked the reluctant Sister Zhu to close the bun shop and start focusing on decoration and recruiting employees.

"The new store is just in front of this street and turn left..." Pointing to the location, he shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific situation. I haven't been there for a while, and I didn't ask Xiaobei."

"No way, brother, you paid 20,000 yuan in real money, and you also have such a valuable recipe for barbecue ingredients, but you don't even look at it? If it were me, I would be there to stare at it every day."

"Do I trust the two sisters? Besides, Sister Zhu has never experienced this before. She needs to grow up. She needs to know how to decorate, know how much to pay employees, how to make employees obedient, and where to purchase goods. She has to know If she can't learn how to distinguish the quality of suppliers, the price of supplies, etc., then she won't be able to open this store, and sooner or later she will become a loser in the country. How can we talk about becoming bigger and stronger and making a fortune by opening a branch?”

Shi Jie nodded confusedly. She didn't know those things, so she asked in confusion: "You are only eighteen, how do you know so much?"

"Didn't I just tell you? I'm a genius. The more you think, the more you want to know. If you want to know more, you have to learn more and see more. It just so happens that these are what I'm good at."

"You are really not humble at all. How can you open and close your mouth like this just to praise yourself?"

"This is how modest and low-key we are in China. If someone asks me, of course I will say that I read more books, but if you ask me, of course I will tell the truth, because I am really good. "

"cheeky."

"You are wrong, senior sister." Wang Yan shook his head calmly: "You must have an eye for discovery, and you must have more contact with me. Over time, you will know whether I am thick-skinned. Some people are like a cup of tea. , some people it’s a glass of wine, some people it’s coffee, and some people it’s a drink.”

"Then what are you?"

Wang Yan leaned forward and looked at her: "Then it's up to you to taste it."

Shi Jie's face was red, and she reached out to comb the broken hair on her forehead to hide her pounding heart. After a while, she sighed: "I see, you are neither, you are just a glass to hold these. "

After laughing, Wang Yan nodded happily: "The car is here, let's go eat something delicious."

The two got on the bus and went all the way to Confucius Temple. It belongs to the Qinhuai Scenic Area of ​​Confucius Temple, a famous scenic spot in Jinling, and will be a five-A scenic spot in the future. There are historical sites such as Confucius Temple, Wuyi Lane, Zhonghua Gate, and Bailuzhou. Even though tourism has not yet become a large-scale industry, there are many people here. After all, not to mention other places, local people in Jinling have to come and take a stroll if they have nothing to do. This is lively enough.

Qinhuai Snacks, as the first of China's four major delicacies, is certainly not something to be boasted about. The famous Qinhuai Eight definitely does not count. There are also many vendors operating snack gatherings. There are so many tourists and the aroma is so fragrant that it would be almost boring if you don’t eat or drink something.

After finally finding a table in front of a stall, Shi Jie asked Wang Yan to wait. She went out and wandered around for a long time. Wang Yan drank two sticks of beer slowly before she came back with a bunch of things.

"Hey, you bought so much?"

"Can't you eat? If you want to eat, just eat. And I didn't eat at noon, so I can definitely eat a lot." As she spoke, she put everything on the table, took them out one by one, laid them out, and gave Wang Yan this For those who have never been here, the introduction is very accurate.

She sat there with her mouth full, chattering to herself, bringing various foods to Wang Yan, and occasionally touching the wine bottle with Wang Yan, drinking happily. It was obvious that she was very happy.

"How come you can eat more freely than a guy like me? Look at that mouth." Wang Yan very naturally took a napkin over and helped her wipe the corners of her mouth.

When the paper towel touched the corner of Shi Jie's mouth, Shi Jie was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned visibly red. This move was too intimate, and she quickly turned her head away: "Thank you, I can do it myself."

Wang Yan shook his head with regret, threw the tissue that had just wiped Shi Jie's mouth into the trash can, and picked up the bottle of wine.

Shi Jie glared at her good junior: "Hey, what's that expression on your face?"

"Obviously, it's a pity that I wanted to take advantage but didn't."

"I really didn't realize it. You are also a gangster. If this were ten years ago, you would have stayed in jail for less than three years."

"Then the two of them are going to be dragged into shooting?" Wang Yan pointed at a man and a woman in the corner, their faces touching each other. Seeing Shi Jie, he still stared at him. He smiled and said, "I am the one who longs for beautiful girls. A hot-blooded young man, the senior is so beautiful, and the skin is so smooth and elastic. It’s all because of the senior’s beauty.”

Shi Jie glared at the shameless and shameless fellow student, and snorted: "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good after it gets cold."

She was just shy inside. Although Wang Yan said something about taking advantage, it was nothing too much. He just wiped the corners of her mouth out of kindness, although it was indeed too intimate. But she still sounds nice when she talks. It's because she's so pretty...

The distance between the two has actually been shortened, but walking side by side does not mean intimacy. There is also a psychological acceptance. This psychological distance is the key to breaking. To break this distance, there is no doubt that the only way is to fumble, lower the bottom line step by step, and increase acceptance. Of course, those who go straight to the topic and make an appointment don't count. That pile driver or bus has no emotional communication and is meaningless.

There is no doubt that Shi Jie still has a crush on him, Wang, but there is only a three-year age difference between them. Of course, as the saying goes, female juniors hold gold bricks. But the reality was different. Shi Jie had graduated and he was only in his freshman year. People in society and students in ivory towers, this is the key. So he had to move forward a little bit, and he had to show off himself and erase the small obstacles in between.

According to the original plot, Lin Jing was injured anyway because of an object thrown or dropped from a high altitude, and then the two of them went to the hospital together. Although she didn't act in the movie, she didn't know Lin Jing for a long time, and then they became obsessed with her. It can be seen from this that Shi Jie is not an emotionally coy person, or that she is paranoid when she is sure. So if Wang Yan is a social person like her, maybe the progress between the two will be rapid...

With such a small ambiguity, Shi Jie lost her previous naturalness. It was obvious that her heart was in chaos. Wang Yan was not flirting with her. After eating, he walked across the street by the Qinhuai River. He was still as funny as ever, and then sent her back downstairs at around eight o'clock.

He wasn't in a hurry, after all, he had planned everything, it hadn't even been half a month since they met, so he took his time. The most important thing for a good hunter is patience...

Of course, his patience was not wrong, because after they went to Confucius Temple, there was no contact for two full months. He had Shi Jie's home phone number and BB number. Shi Jie also knew the phone number of his dormitory building, but he couldn't get through the call. And because the bun shop was gone, he no longer had to walk through the family building, so he never went there again, and there was just no contact.

However, Zhu Xiaobei told him that Shi Jielu had gone to the renovated barbecue restaurant twice and was concerned about the progress of the store. She said that she would bring friends to support her when it opened, but she did not inquire about his situation at all...

Women, of course, will not affect Wang Yan in any way, he can still do whatever he wants. I study hard in class every day, and occasionally joke with Zhu Xiaobei, Li Weijuan and Ruan Guan. We are all good friends.

He still ignored Zheng Wei, and Zheng Wei still hated him so much that she was helpless. But she didn't give it in vain. Wang Yan didn't like to talk to her, so she just stayed in front of him. So when we occasionally catch up with Wang Yan's second class in civil engineering, we always have lunch together. Occasionally, Wang Yan would treat Xiao Zao to a treat, but she would just follow him without saying a word and treat him to a meal. Wang Yan is not a big boss, so he does not invite many people. We had two meals in two months, and Zheng Wei happened to be there.

Of course, Xu Kaiyang and Zhang Zhang are also indispensable in the process. One likes Zheng Wei, and the other wants to play a supporting role with him. Many times, they would bump into each other during lunch, or they bumped into each other on purpose. Xu Kaiyang invited Xiao Zao more often, and Wang Yan followed suit several times. I told my family about buying a computer and resumed high consumption.

Sometimes, during club activities, Zheng Weifei would drag Ruan Guan, with whom she had the best relationship, to follow Xu Kaiyang and have fun with them. Sometimes Zheng Wei would go to the men's dormitory to play on the computer, which was quite fun.

However, Wang Yan didn't hear the news about Xu Kaiyang's confession to Zheng Wei. It may be because the time has not come yet, maybe it won't be until next year. This will definitely happen. After all, Xu Kaiyang's love for Zheng Wei has not changed.

During this time, he also bought a house outside the school. It's not big, only 60 square meters, and it's on the top floor of the sixth floor. But one good thing is that the top floor is not a sloping roof, but a large terrace. There are vegetables and flowers grown by the aunt in the building. In a time when there were not many high-rise buildings, the scenery on the rooftop was naturally very good, and he was quite satisfied.

The price of things in this era was there, and there was no housing reform. The price was not expensive, and it didn't cost much in total. It was very cheap. He didn't decorate it or anything else, he just made a few pieces of furniture and moved it in as a place to stay. I also moved my household registration from the collective household registration of Southeast University to this house. It will be more convenient in the future, and I can settle down in Jinling first...

It was January 1995, and there were rare snowflakes floating in the sky. They fell in a thin layer on the ground, and turned into water within a moment. Jinling is located in the south and is not covered by central heating. The average temperature in winter is minus five or six degrees below zero, and the air is humid, which is the so-called magic damage. Although the clothing is not as good as the large cotton-padded jacket and cotton-padded trousers in the north, it is still one layer on the left and one on the right. After all, who knows who is cold.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Wang Yan raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch: "The auspicious time has come. Sister, lift up the sign. Xiaobei and I will go and set off the cannon. Everyone else should step back and don't collapse."

After finishing speaking, Wang Yan lit a cigarette and ran to one side to light fireworks. On the other side, Zhu Xiaobei also got a lighter and lit it together, and finally lit the hanging whip. There were a total of eighteen fireworks, two hanging whips, and they were crackling and exploding.

Sister Zhu at the back pulled off the red cloth covering the plaque, revealing a large plaque with the words "A String of Life" written on it. No need to think about this plaque, of course it was written by Wang Yan. The font is written in cursive script, because these words are simple, even cursive scripts can be distinguished by those who are literate. The background color of the plaque is pure white, and the words are black, occupying half of the area. On the other side is a knife-wielding man composed of the four characters "a string of life", which is also their cuddling dog. It is drawn with ink and wash techniques, giving it a feeling of a river and lake. Wang Yan has always adhered to simplicity and cleanness.

The interior layout of the store below the plaque can be seen at a glance from the outside. It is simple and grand, and looks high-end at first glance. The most important thing is that it is clean. When eating, you always have to pay attention to something. How could people at this moment think that there is such a thing as gutter oil...

Such movement has already attracted many people to watch. Whether a new store is opening, there are always activities. After the cannon was played, Wang Yan took the microphone and talked about the opening discounts of the new store through the loudspeaker at the door, such as 20% off, lucky numbers at checkout and gifts. He also asked the waiter to put up two big signs on the street, which marked the original price and discounted price of the food.

There is nothing we can do about it. When people see this decoration, they will think that the consumption is high and they will be embarrassed to enter. People have to know that for such a newly opened barbecue restaurant that looks high-end, the actual consumption is not very high, but it is not cheap either.

After the introduction, the group of people went back to the house to drink hot water. Who is a serious person to eat barbecue in the morning? It is better to have a barbecue in the afternoon and evening.

"Is that okay, Xiaoyan?" Sister Zhu looked a little unsure of the waiter who was doing nothing but cleaning the tables and chairs diligently.

"It's not like you haven't eaten before. In the past two months, you and Xiaobei almost vomited after eating barbecue, right? What else could be wrong? You have to have confidence in yourself. But there may not be too many customers these days. After all, It’s winter now, so the barbecue is still a bit poor, but it will definitely be fine until next year, don’t worry, eldest sister.”

Shi Jie comforted: "Sister, when I go to work next week, I will bring some colleagues over first. The taste is so good, they must all like it. Didn't Wang Yan say that we rely on word of mouth, as long as we provide the best service? OK, make sure the taste stays the same, it’s definitely no problem.”

There is no use in comforting her. Sister Zhu is an ordinary person. She is capable of opening a bun shop. Now that the bun shop is closed, I have spent so much money to rent a large shop, renovate it, make tables, chairs, and various kitchen machines, and support more than ten people in the front and back kitchen. The salary is not low. Every day when I open my eyes Just spend money, it’s weird to have peace of mind.

Zhu Xiaobei seems to be bold, has gone to college, and is educated. But at this moment, I was picking my fingers silently, nervous and afraid.

Wang Yan said: "Sister, if you are worried, just wait until noon and ask the barbecue master to set up the barbecue box outside and grill it on the street. When the wind blows and the fragrance fills the street, someone will definitely come over. Look, you give it away for free, one skewer per person, so that everyone can taste it. If you give it two or three hundred skewers, there will definitely be a lot of people coming in the evening."

"Two or three hundred strings, that's a lot of money."

"You will gain something if you give up. Okay, eldest sister, Xiaobei, please stay here. I'll leave first and come back in the evening." Wang Yan stood up and looked at Shi Jie who was sitting motionless: "Senior sister? "

After hearing his greeting, Shi Jie said to the Zhu sisters, got up and left behind Wang Yan.

When they came outside, the two of them walked side by side, and neither of them spoke for a while. It's the kind of inseparability between men and women, where whoever speaks first loses first. This is actually ambiguous.

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, then turned his head and looked at the beautiful woman kicking stones next to him: "How did senior sister know that it opened today?"

"Xiao Bei told me." Shi Jie explained: "Last time we went to Confucius Temple, didn't you tell me the address? I happened to pass by and came to see it twice."

"Senior sister, why haven't you contacted me in the past two months? Are you too busy at work?"

"It's okay." Shi Jie said casually, "You didn't contact me either."

"Oh, I understand. It turns out that senior sister is waiting for me to contact you first. Hey, you said this was a misunderstanding."

"What misunderstanding?"

Wang Yan said with a smile: "It's not like I took advantage of you last time when we had dinner at Confucius Temple. I thought you were unhappy. After all, you didn't say anything to me when I left that day. I thought Isn’t this the end of fate? I didn’t expect you to come here for the opening today.”

"That's all?" Shi Jie exhaled. It was certainly different from what she imagined. She was proud of her age and was afraid that Wang Yan would be jealous of his age. She had already noticed the attraction of this good junior to her. She didn't know whether to continue, which was why she didn't take the initiative to contact him for two months. She had considered it comprehensively and found that Wang Yan was excellent in all aspects. Regardless of his conversation, cultivation, knowledge, ability, or the fact that he took out 20,000 yuan without blinking an eye, he is a very good man with a bright future.

"Ah, what else?"

"You are just thinking wildly, so you have to take advantage of it."

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows: "How about... making up for it?"

"Go away, you are not serious." Shi Jie blushed and gave her good student a gentle punch. She changed the subject: "Is it the final exam soon? How is your review?"

"Exemption from the exam!"

"So awesome?"

"How many times do I have to say it again, I am a genius. Didn't I tell you last time that I am taking sophomore classes? The teachers in both departments take good care of me and always support me. I went to discuss the exam with the teacher before , they briefly reviewed their homework, and finally decided unanimously not to let the exam become a burden, and to maintain their own pace of study and continue to improve.”

Shi Jie's eyes widened: "According to your progress, wouldn't it take less than two years to graduate?"

Wang Yan nodded: "Probably in the second semester of my sophomore year, I will graduate by then. Several professors have asked me to continue their graduate studies by then. It's really hard to choose..."
