Chapter 80 Tool Man

Gu Xueli’s new residence is less than one kilometer away from the city square. If you walk, including the time to go downstairs, it will take no more than 20 minutes.

Around eight o’clock in the evening, the bus station in the city square was busy during the summer vacation, with people coming and going.

Both Anting and Gu Xueli were covered in sweat. There was even some dust on the latter's neck, arms, and thighs, but it did not affect the gaze of the men around her.

Gu Xueli’s height of 1.65 meters is not necessarily long legs, but her thin waist and thin legs. When paired with short shorts, she is still very eye-catching.

If Song Ci is an innocent school girl, then Gu Xueli is more inclined to be a hot girl...

You can’t blame Gu Xueli for spending too much time on her appearance. A girl spends 12 hours a day. Sitting at the front desk of an Internet cafe, what else can you do if you don't change your appearance? It's impossible to play guitar 12 hours a day.

Gu Xueli did not leave immediately, but stood aside and waited with the young man.

While waiting, Anting was still aware of Gu Xueli's uneasiness about the future, and smiled: "Don't think so much, I'm about to start school, and I'll be at the No. 1 Middle School in Nancheng District. The secret base will be there soon." Put into business, and will appear in the store often in the future."

There is a touch of peace in the smile.

"Well... little landlord." At this point, Gu Xueli seemed to realize something, turned her face, looked at the boy who had grown taller, and teased: "I can't call you little landlord, I don't think so. Moved out."

Gu Xueli not only worked in Anting's building, but also lived in that building. She had always called this person "little landlord". She had been calling him "little landlord" for many years, and it was difficult to change her tune. .

"It doesn't matter, you have to work for me anyway. If you like, you can call me little boss, but I am more low-key, so you should call me little landlord. Just rent yourself to me. .”

　“Rent it to you?”

　“Well, rent yourself to me, work for me all the time, and help me create.”
< br /> "It sounds too much." Gu Xueli didn't seem to be so disgusted, "I'm like... a tool person."

Unintentionally, Gu Xueli has created a term that transcends this era.

But...I don’t seem to hate the status of tool person.

She suddenly realized that after living in this city for so long, her sense of belonging was very low. No, most of the sense of belonging seemed to come from her youth, from childhood to the present.

So.

It seems good to just let me belong to him.

"A tool man? Yes..."

Anting's first reaction was to deny it. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that this was not what he thought, but his approach was indeed Like this - whether it's songwriting or working in the store.

To judge a person, don’t judge a person by what he says, but by what he does. Anting understands this truth.

Although he treats Gu Xueli as a tool, he will make her live a good life.

He will not treat those around him badly.

Gu Xueli murmured in a calm tone: "What a bad boy."

"Hmm..."

...

Most of a month has passed.

Father An and Aunt Song returned from their honeymoon. They both gained a little weight and it looked like they had spent a very sweet and happy time.

Seeing Anting and Song Ci keeping the house in order made me even happier.

Around mid-August, Anting took its first step in the world of business - the opening of a beverage shop in Nancheng District.

After some thought, he named this store "Secret Base", a childish name. Who didn't have a secret base with friends in their childhood or youth?

It’s just that the English name is a bit strange.

The English name is Secretbase, or SB for short.

Anting is the SB boss, Brother Chuan is the SB store manager, and Gu Xueli is the SB waiter.

Well... I'm just joking. There is still a long way to go international, and there may not even be a way. The English name is not that important.

The opening day.

At the peak of summer vacation, many summer special drinks were launched in one go, paired with unique background music and specific mascots, attracting a large number of customers at once.

There are only three staff in the store.

Anting, Brother Chuan, and Sister Xueli.

Brother Chuan is in charge of production, and Sister Xueli is in charge of placing orders and cleaning.

As for our male protagonist Anting, although I really want to tell you that he is once again a hands-off shopkeeper, coming and going freely and with great ease, but this is impossible.

He...

At the scene...

It was the mascot - the porcelain doll.

Mainly because the temperature these days has been too high, 35℃Above, ordinary people would not be willing to stand outside wearing this kind of clothes. There was no way to invite anyone, so Anting could only be wronged.

"Hey...it's a pity that Gao Fei and Zhu Jiajun are not here."

At this moment, Anting took off his hood and returned to the store, sweating like rain.

Gao Fei and Zhu Jiajun are not here. They went back to the countryside to spend the summer vacation. They probably did well in the high school entrance examination. Their parents quickly took them back to show off in front of relatives and friends. They missed this time. , I don’t know how long I have to wait next time.

With the help of Anting, the two reached the peak of their lives.

"Congratulations. So far, your judgment is very accurate. The business in the store is very prosperous, with a turnover of several thousand within a few hours of opening." Xue Li is a front desk staff member. Naturally, watching the rapid increase in turnover makes me feel excited.

The store has prepared uniform clothing, mainly black T-shirts + black trousers, and orange aprons.

At this moment, Sister Xueli was wearing uniform clothes and had wiped off her tattoos. Although she no longer looked sexy, she still had a faint Xiaojiabiyu look.

The only thing that stands out is the pink hair.

The music in the store looped again, "Secret Base" sung by Sister Xue Li. Anting praised: "Thanks to Sister Xue Li's beautiful songs, we can attract customers."

Hearing this, Sister Xueli was a little uneasy and a little proud.

Like many people who pursue their dreams, they hope to stand on the stage and be recognized, but are afraid of being laughed at... It is a kind of mentality of worrying about gains and losses.

At this time, another group of customers came into the store, and Sister Xueli quickly went back to the front desk to take orders.

The store area is about 160㎡, plus part of the public area outside the store, which is almost more than 40㎡, totaling about 200㎡.

It’s just.

It’s mid-summer daytime now, and no one will be sitting outside the store until at least four in the afternoon. Isn’t it courting death to sit outside at this time?

Every seat in the store is full, and it is almost impossible to find an empty table.

Being a man of two lives, whether in the past life or in this life, Anting was the first to start a business. Before the official opening, he was still a little nervous.

Looking at it now, worrying is unnecessary.

"Hello, hello, we would like to ask, what is the song in your store called? Why haven't you heard it?"

The speaker looks like a high school student A girl named Liu Jianing, she is a small music enthusiast, although these daysThe Internet is not yet developed, but she is very concerned about the Chinese music scene. This song is quite good, but she has never heard it, so she asked a question.

Although as mentioned before, this song does not have the original flavor of the original version. For ordinary listeners, it is just a song with a score of 65~75; but for certain groups of people, such as adolescents, , in fact, there is some room for bonus points.

Hearing the girl’s question, Anting looked at other people nearby. Everyone was looking here, as if waiting for Anting’s answer.

Everyone is very concerned about the name of this song, and some people even took out their mobile phones to search for it on the spot.

"This song is called "SecretBase"..."

The moment the words fell.

Everyone present began to search on the spot.

An Ting showed an enigmatic smile and said: "Um...you don't need to search. This is our store's special BGM and has not been published anywhere."
< br /> As soon as these words came out.

All the customers were staring at Anting with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

Liu Jianing was also shocked, but quickly reacted and asked: "Old, brother... does this mean... is this a song created by someone from your store?"

Originally, I wanted to call Anting the boss, but Anting didn't look like a boss at all. He was just a part-time employee wearing a leather sheath, a student.

An Ting did not emphasize that he was the boss. If he misunderstood, it would be a misunderstanding, and he would not lose a piece of meat.

He became playful, looked around, and said: "Sister, do you hear this song with a male voice or a female voice?"

"Female voice..."

“How many men are there in this store, how many women...?”

After hearing this, everyone looked around the store.

Except for Anting and Brother Chuan, there is only a charming big sister at the front desk.

Then...on the first day of opening the store, there was another rush.
