Chapter 459 No Big Problem
Ran Qiuye smiled slightly and led the students to the stationery area: "Boss Chen, several children in our class are running out of stationery. Bring them over to replenish some."
The students were happily selecting stationery, and Ran Qiuye stood aside, watching them quietly. Chen Rufeng took the opportunity to walk over and asked in a low voice: "Are you busy recently? Nothing new, right?"
Ran Qiuye looked up at him and nodded slightly: "Fortunately, everything is going well in school, and the children are becoming more and more sensible." After she finished speaking, she added, "Boss Chen, you look good recently. It seems that you have regained your spirits."
Chen Rufeng felt warm in his heart and said gratefully, "Thank you for your concern, Teacher Ran. In fact, I have figured out a lot during this period of time. In life, we should always look forward."
Ran Qiuye looked at him with a smile, with a hint of approval in her eyes: "This is good, life is like this, when you encounter something, you must learn to adjust yourself and keep moving forward."
Although the conversation between the two was brief, Chen Rufeng felt a sense of relief he had never felt before. He realized that although his feelings were not reciprocated, he and Ran Qiuye still maintained a pure friendship, which was perhaps more important than anything else.
As the canteen gradually adjusted and upgraded, more and more neighbors began to rely on it, especially those busy parents. They knew that when their children stopped at Chen Rufeng's canteen after school, they could not only buy school supplies and healthy snacks, but also get the care and guidance of Chen Rufeng, which made them feel at ease.
Chen Rufeng also gradually regained his passion for life. He would carefully decorate the store every morning, and spend time at night researching new products and understanding market trends. He was no longer the boss who only focused on the small things in front of him, but began to think from a higher perspective about how to make the store more in line with the needs of the community and become an indispensable part of the courtyard.
Once, Chen Rufeng heard that a community event was going to be held nearby and many businesses would participate to showcase their products and services. After much thought, he decided to participate. Although the store was not a large enterprise, he believed that this opportunity would allow more people to know and love his store.
On the day of the event, Chen Rufeng specially set up a small booth to display various popular products in the store. He also carefully prepared some free snacks for the children who came and went to taste. The booth was crowded with people, especially children, who tasted the snacks and looked at the various products curiously.
Just as Chen Rufeng was busy receiving guests, he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him: "Boss Chen, you really stole the show today."
He turned around and saw that it was Ran Qiuye. She was wearing a simple dress and had a gentle smile on her face. Chen Rufeng was slightly stunned, but he quickly recovered and responded with a smile: "Teacher Ran, you are here to join in the fun too? Today's event was well organized and everyone is very happy."
Ran Qiuye nodded and glanced at Chen Rufeng's stall: "Your stall is very unique, and the children like it very much. It seems that you understand their thoughts very well."
Chen Rufeng's heart warmed up and he felt a sense of accomplishment. He knew that his efforts were not in vain. This was not only for running the canteen, but also for everyone in the community to feel warmth and care. He smiled and said, "Teacher Ran, you are actually the biggest contributor. The children can be sensible and healthy today, which is inseparable from your teaching and care."
Ran Qiuye smiled and shook her head, with a hint of relief in her eyes: "We are all working towards the same goal, to let children grow up in a healthy and safe environment."
Chen Rufeng suddenly felt warm in his heart. This spiritual harmony made him feel that although he and Ran Qiuye did not get together, they were still working for the same goal in their respective positions. This understanding and tacit understanding might be what he needed to cherish.
After the event, although he was a little tired physically, he felt fulfilled and satisfied in his heart. He knew that his life had entered a new track, and although there would still be challenges and difficulties ahead, he believed that as long as he continued to persevere, his store would become better and better.
A few days later, one afternoon, Chen Rufeng sat behind the counter of a canteen, flipping through a magazine in his hand, but he couldn't concentrate. His eyes drifted out the window from time to time, and he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.
These days, everything seems too peaceful. The business of the store is still going on as usual, and the neighbors in the courtyard are still coming and going as usual, but Chen Rufeng always feels that he is surrounded by an inexplicable emotion. This feeling makes him feel a little at a loss, as if something is missing, and as if something has been lurking in his heart, waiting to suddenly emerge.
"Old Chen, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so confused?" Jia Dongxu's voice interrupted his thoughts. Chen Rufeng looked up and saw Jia Dongxu walking in with a small paper bag in his hand. "I just came from the small market over there and brought you some fresh red dates. They are just on the market and taste good."
Chen Rufeng forced a smile and took the paper bag: "Thank you, Dongxu, you are always so polite."
Jia Dongxu sat down on the chair opposite him, crossed his legs, and looked at Chen Rufeng: "What's wrong with you these days? You look absent-minded all day long. Did you encounter any difficulties in your business? He put the paper bag aside and sighed: "It's nothing serious, it's just... I don't know why, I always feel weird in my heart, and nothing is going well. It's not that I'm upset, it's just that it seems like something is blocking it and I can't get rid of it."
Jia Dongxu couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Are you idle? What are you thinking about? Life is like this, a simple life is the real life. There's nothing wrong with your store, just do what you need to do and stop thinking about it."
Chen Rufeng also knew that his state was somewhat inexplicable, but the nonsensical emotions in his heart forced him to think. Everything was on the right track, and his life was stable as usual, but he just couldn't get motivated. Even the small store that used to make him feel most satisfied now seemed to have lost some of its appeal.
He asked in a low voice: "Dongxu, tell me, is it really a good thing for people to live like this every day? I am doing everything according to the plan now, and there are no big ups and downs in the store, but I always feel like I am standing still, without any change."
