Chapter 16·Little raccoon

The aroma of pumpkin overflows from the oven. In autumn, the season of abundant fruits, the serious sweet craftsman chose soft and golden pumpkin this time and is making soft Basque.

Because despite his sister’s objections, Boss Chen insisted on working, and all he got was a little tail from his sister. He insisted on asking for leave to follow him, for fear that he would feel uncomfortable.

“I said it’s okay, why are you hanging around behind me?” Chen Runsong put the freshly baked Basque to cool down, preparing to refrigerate it later and decorate it. He still had a lot of unfinished work at hand, and he thought Lin Yan was in the way.

“You’re still fine even though you’ve already given me a prescription. Why do you have to come to work? What if I don’t look at you and you faint in a moment.” Lin Yan helped him crack the eggs, her tone full of worry.

Chen Runsong cracked eggs with one hand faster than her two hands, and said speechlessly, “I’m so busy that I don’t have time to faint. Besides, aren’t the guys in the store together? Come on, hurry up. If you don’t study hard, you have to ask for leave. I’ll ask your little brother Xuan to assign you ten paintings later.”

Lin Yan wailed a few words exaggeratedly, but did not move. She knew in her heart that her brother would not really drive her away even if he said it, for the sake of her peace of mind. After all, they had been dependent on each other since childhood, and the safety of their lives was the first priority in their hearts.

The store was extremely busy early in the morning. They had to deliver afternoon tea, make goods for the store, and order some cakes. The few clerks in the store and the Chen Runsong brother and sister have been busy until now. They finally had almost everything done. They hurriedly took a bite of lunch and immediately got into the decoration and packaging work.

“Brother, I see there is no Basque on the list.” Lin Yan looked at the list and saw her brother cutting off a Basque corner and decorating it carefully.

“Don’t worry.” Chen Runsong continued to work without raising his eyes. There was only one person eating, so he only cut a small piece and put the rest back in the refrigerator.

“Hey, brother, why don’t you send the rest over? Give it to me.”

“There are so many things that are not enough for you. I want to eat this. You go and eat something else.”

Seeing that the remaining Basque finally went into the refrigerator without his brother’s permission, Lin Yan could only leave the game with regret.

Wuling Bread came to the leading art again. This time, Lin Yan and the waiter joined hands, and the three of them unloaded the goods faster.

“What’s wrong with your head?” Jiang Xianfan had just come out of the meeting when he saw Chen Runsong carrying a pear head on his head and moving things around in the tea room.

Chen Runsong replied nonchalantly as he moved: “I was chased by a mad dog a few days ago. After I fought bravely for 80 rounds, I finally ran away from it. No, my head was gloriously injured.”

Jiang Xianfan was choked. This guy was not serious. He would not have asked if he had known it.

“Here, it’s for you.” Jiang Xianfan was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly handed over a small box, “I didn’t look at your assistant, so take it back yourself.”

When you open it, you will find a small dessert, golden in color, decorated with cream and a maple leaf, which feels very autumnal.

“Thank you, actually…” Jiang Xianfan was about to tell him that he didn’t need to give it to him because he didn’t have the habit of drinking afternoon tea.

“Reduced sugar version, guaranteed not to be sweet.” Chen Runsong tilted his head and stared at him sincerely.

“Let’s go, see you Boss Jiang.” No matter what he wanted to say, Chen Runsong had already finished setting up the meal quickly, and there was still a lot of work waiting in the store. He didn’t waste much time and left in a hurry.

“Yes.” Jiang Xianfan responded and prepared to return to the office.

“Wow! The owner of this dessert shop is really good at business. Mr. Jiang’s is different from everyone else.” The little girl from the operations department passed by with some desserts and suddenly noticed that the things in their boss’s hands were different.

He subconsciously glanced at the tea room, and sure enough, among all the meals, not one was the same as what he had in hand.

Was it made especially for him?

The cell phone rang suddenly. Jiang Xianfan put away his thoughts and turned back to the office to answer the call.After chatting for a few words on the phone, he nodded frequently and had a satisfied smile on his face when he hung up.

The art exhibition he will invite Qi Zhixuan to in a few days has a painting that he has said he likes very much. It is not very expensive, but it is very unique. He has already had someone buy the painting and plans to give it to him as a gift after Qi Zhixuan has tasted it.Even if you can’t recruit him as an employee, it would be good for a person of this caliber to be a special consultant. It’s always good to make more friends.

Jiang Xianfan was very satisfied with his arrangement. He picked up the spoon and tasted the Basque. It had a strong pumpkin aroma and the texture of the cheese was very thick, but with a touch of sweet and sour jam on the decoration, it felt just right and delicious.

“Songsong, I’ll put it here.” Qi Zhixuan used a trolley to take the fruit that Jiang Xianfan brought last time and put it in Chen Runsong’s shop. He really couldn’t eat so much, so he decided to share a share with everyone. Chen Runsong could still use it for making desserts.

“Didn’t you say that I should come and get it myself? You can eat and drink for free and you can bring it to me. What kind of treatment is this?” Chen Runsong came out of the room. The ugly pear head on his head had been removed, and only a small piece of gauze was attached to his forehead. It looked like it was almost healed.

“It’s okay, I’ll just increase the amount of exercise.” Qi Zhixuan found a chair, moved two boxes of things for him, and prepared to sit down and rest for a while.

Chen Runsong glanced at him and suddenly laughed: “Hey, you are finally willing to dress like a human being today. What’s going on? Are you going on a blind date?”

This person who doesn’t like to take care of himself is actually wearing a suit today. Although it is a casual suit, the looseness and sophistication are exactly balanced to achieve a balance, which makes it look very stylish.

Qi Zhixuan looked down at himself and didn’t feel anything special, “What? Boss Jiang invited me to see an art exhibition tonight. I thought I couldn’t wear a big T-shirt and jeans. After all, he wears such formal clothes every day, so I just want to be polite.”

The smile on Chen Runsong’s face suddenly froze. Are you going to see…the art exhibition…with Jiang Xianfan?

Their relationship is already so good.

“Oh… that’s it. That’s good. You do look good in what you wear.” Chen Runsong replied suddenly, taking out his phone and scrolling through it casually.

Sure enough, good people will only associate with good people.

Although Qi Zhixuan seems to be just a painting supplies store owner, judging from his conversation and ability, it is clear that he is a child raised by a very good family.

Sometimes he and Jiang Xianfan were chatting about paintings, and Chen Runsong was right next to them, but it felt like they were separated by a thick layer of glass. He could clearly see the painting, but he couldn’t understand what they were talking about. He really wanted to take it apart and see what else was inside.

Sighing softly, Chen Runsong stopped thinking and continued to scroll through his phone. Suddenly, he came across a funny message. Xie Xingxing took a selfie with his phone affectionately. Brother Jing’s brother pressed his brother’s head into the mirror together. One was smiling, the other had a stinky face, and Pang Jing was expressionless drinking water at the end. The text was: 604 Brotherly love is deep, and I wish Pang brother to win the competition.

“It seems that the whole dormitory of Little Star went out to cheer for Pang Whale’s game today.” Chen Runsong crossed his legs and said with a smile.

Qi Zhixuan wondered, “Game? What game?”

“Here, look.” Chen Runsong handed over the phone.Qi Zhixuan looked down and studied for a while. The more he looked, the more panicked he became.

Are you free on the 22nd?

On the 22nd…leave some time for me…

The broken memories came back instantly, and he finally remembered!He finally remembered what he had forgotten about on the 22nd!!

Opening the chat history with Pang Jing, Pang Jing has been very busy with training recently, while Qi Zhixuan was urged by Jiang’s mother to work on painting day and night. They haven’t chatted for a long time, and the record still stops at that day. I asked him if he had time on the 22nd, leaving him…

God, Qi Zhixuan just wanted to expand his brain, how could he forget such an important thing.

While secretly cursing himself for being stupid, he quickly opened his phone and searched for this game. He was in Beijing, and there was still some time before the start. He should be able to catch up by taking a taxi now.

He dialed Jiang Xianfan’s number without hesitation, wanting to tell him that he was sorry for missing the appointment, but he didn’t know if the other party was still busy and didn’t get through.

“Songsong, please pass this on to me.” Qi Zhixuan took out the ticket for the art exhibition and handed it to Chen Runsong, “If Boss Jiang comes, tell him that I have something urgent and can’t go.” With that, he quickly booked spectator tickets for the swimming competition online.

“Are you going to watch that kid compete?” Chen Runsong was puzzled. The painting exhibition and the swimming competition were both rated in the same way for him, but obviously mature men are more handsome. Why are you looking at a yellow-haired boy?

“Yes, I want to go.” As he spoke, the taxi arrived at the door, and Qi Zhixuan hurried out.

Of course he’s going.It was he who said he wanted to go to watch someone else’s game. They asked him the time solemnly so early, but he carelessly forgot about it.I felt remorseful and guilty, wishing I could fly to the arena immediately if there was wind at my feet.

Jiang Xianfan is busy here without even touching the ground.The company’s major client participated in several auctions and collected a bunch of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign works of art. In order to formulate an asset investment strategy for the client, he and his team worked continuously for several days.It wasn’t until the car reached the last traffic light and was about to reach the little painter that he caught a glimpse of the missed call on his phone and the apology text message from Qi Zhixuan.

I had no choice but to drive through first.

The door of the little painter is closed. There is no part-time job today, and there is no one in the shop.

Jiang Xianfan sat in the car, rubbing the steering wheel with his fingertips, thinking that if Qi Zhixuan didn’t come, there was no point in going alone. How could he find a way to send the painting over? It would be hard to ask someone to be a consultant if he didn’t accept it.

“Knock knock…” Just as he was thinking about it, someone knocked on the car window. It was Chen Runsong.

Thinking that he would still come and wait for someone if he didn’t receive the call, Chen Runsong looked at the door for a long time before he saw the Maybach parked on the roadside.The car stopped for a while and there was no movement. Maybe he knew Qi Zhixuan had let go?So sad?Do you want a few words of comfort?

Before I could figure it out, others were already here.

“Boss Chen.” Jiang Xianfan lowered the window and greeted in a low voice with a hint of fatigue.

Chen Runsong was a little dazed. The person who had always been calm, confident and meticulous in the past actually looked tired today, his hair was a little messy, and there was still a faint greenish-black under his eyes.

Is it such a big blow?

Also, a proud man like him who is good-looking and has a successful career should rarely be let go.

“Um…this is the ticket Xiaoxuan asked me to give you. He said he couldn’t go because of something, so he asked me to say sorry to you.” Chen Runsong hesitated for a moment, then handed over the ticket, completing his friend’s request.

“Yes, I understand.” Jiang Xianfan took the ticket and rubbed his brows.

But the people around him hadn’t left yet. He put down his ticket and asked, “Is there anything else?”

“I want to ask you…are you still going to the art exhibition?”

“Not going.”

“Then don’t you do anything else?”

“Huh? Yeah, probably go home and rest.”

Finally, Chen Runsong got into the Maybach because he said, “Then I’ll take you to play for a while.”

Jiang Xianfan was still a little confused when he drove on the road. He glanced at Chen Runsong in the passenger seat from the corner of his eye, wondering what the situation was now.

In fact, Chen Runsong didn’t think too much about it. He just looked at him looking so depressed and had nothing to do anyway. He just wanted to play with him and make him happy.

It was fun, but Jiang Xianfan was a little surprised when he pressed the navigation button and Chen Runsong arrived in front of a video game store.

“What, do you dislike it? There’s nothing you can do about it. It’s already here.”

Having said that, Chen Runsong saw him standing in front of the door, wearing an exquisite three-piece suit, and inside there were all kinds of dizzying colorful lights and noisy sounds mixed with game sound effects. No matter how you looked at it, he still seemed a bit out of place.

“No, let’s go.” Jiang Xianfan said nothing and stepped in.

Seeing how cheerful he was, Chen Runsong ran to the counter to exchange for a large basket of game coins and gave half of it to Jiang Xianfan.

But soon he discovered that Jiang Xianfan had probably never been to a place like this. The big boss was standing in front of the claw machine, carefully reading the operating instructions on the machine as if he was reading an important contract. Chen Runsong couldn’t help but twitch in his face.

He ignored Jiang Xianfan and turned around to play a few games of King of Fighters. But when he came back, he found that the man was still playing the claw machine and would not touch any other games.

Moreover, the coin seemed to have gone down halfway, but the shadow of the doll was not visible.

“Tsk, which one do you want?” Chen Runsong couldn’t stand it any longer. This is all bullshit luck.

Jiang Xianfan pointed to a small brown raccoon wearing an apron in front of him.

“Catching dolls requires skills. The machine has a mechanism. You can’t change it around. You have to stick to the same place to catch…” Chen Runsong rolled up his sleeves and stood in front of the machine, explaining patiently while operating.

He is a professional at this. I think when he was working in the arcade city, in order to rectify the evil boss who defaulted on wages, he even adjusted all the machines when he left. The people who came to play that day almost missed the claw machine.

Once…twice…the third time, I held the little raccoon firmly with my paws, slowly rose up, and came out successfully!

Chen Runsong raised his eyebrows proudly and handed the little raccoon to Jiang Xianfan, receiving his shocked and envious gaze.

Jiang Xianfan wanted to catch more, but Chen Runsong stopped him: “Stop playing. Once you catch one, you will be punished by the mechanism. You won’t be able to catch him again for a while.” As he said that, he pulled him to play other games.

Although Jiang Xianfan was just a newbie, he didn’t know whether he was smart or just lucky. He won a lot of coins while pushing the coin tower. So after playing for several hours, not only did he not spend any money, he even opened an account and deposited some coins.

“You are still awesome, Boss Jiang.” Chen Runsong held the coin card and admired it sincerely.

Jiang Xianfan held the little raccoon in his arms and said nothing, but quietly raised his chin and raised his eyebrows.

Seeing his secretly happy look, Chen Runsong almost couldn’t hold back his laughter and asked casually: “Are you happy now?”

Jiang Xianfan didn’t know what he was talking about, so he replied, “I’m always happy.”

Just be happy.

Before leaving, Jiang Xianfan offered to take Chen Runsong back, but he refused: “You should go back and rest early. I can just take a taxi myself.”

Jiang Xianfan was sitting in the car, looking at the little raccoon in the passenger seat, and lightly touched its furry ears with his fingertips.Although I still don’t understand why I was suddenly dragged to the arcade for an afternoon of fun, but most of the fatigue from being squeezed by customers for several days has indeed dissipated.

fine.
