Mingxiu spent the afternoon in the coffee shop, reading and brainstorming ideas for her new book. No one else came to the coffee shop, and Mingxiu didn't seem particularly surprised by the empty entrance.

This is all normal. Nowadays, many people buy coffee either from big brand stores or online. Few people know about Mingxiu's coffee shop, and since she only opened it to pass the time, she didn't even open an online store.

Mingxiu worked all afternoon, and after the sun set, she closed the door. As for the desserts she made today, she didn't make many herself. She even had Lu Cheng take some with him, and packed the rest into her spatial storage. She could just take them when Kangxi came in, since there were so many people there that she wasn't worried about not being able to finish them.

The next day, Mingxiu first went into the space to take a look. The things inside had already been taken away, so she knew that Kangxi had come in for a visit. After that, she didn't pay any more attention. She picked some fruit and then went out. Today she still needed to make some cakes, and then make a drink and eat some fruit.

Holding the large watermelon weighing dozens of kilograms in her arms, Mingxiu thought that watermelon had always been her favorite product. If it weren't for the fact that watermelon is easy to gain weight, Mingxiu felt that she could eat watermelon three times a day.

The process was the same as yesterday, but she wanted to eat noodles with soybean paste for lunch today, so she went out and bought some meat.

"Is the boss in?" Mingxiu heard the voice from inside and turned to go out.

Then they saw Lu Cheng, and there was a man with him. They looked like good friends. The man was looking around. This man was Zhang Dongsheng. Yesterday's fruit was amazing, but when the two of them had dinner in the evening, Lu Cheng took out the pastries from lunch and ate them. He liked them very much, so he had them brought over today.

"Oh, Mr. Lu, what brings you here? Would you like some coffee?" Mingxiu greeted the two of them with a smile.

Lu Cheng nodded with a smile: "Yes, I really enjoyed the fruit and pastries from your shop yesterday, so I came straight here today. By the way, this is my friend Zhang Dongsheng."

Mingxiu nodded at him as a greeting.

"Alright, have you two had lunch yet? I started early today and everything is ready now. I wonder what you two would like to eat?"

Before Lu Cheng could speak after Mingxiu finished speaking, Zhang Dongsheng frowned and asked, "Don't you serve lunch here?"

Mingxiu's lips twitched as she looked at Lu Cheng, who then nodded awkwardly: "Boss, please don't misunderstand. I haven't had a chance to say it yet. We weren't planning to come over for lunch today. We were thinking of having lunch first, but we ran into some things on the way, so we came directly instead of eating. It's okay, we'll just order something to eat."

Zhang Dongsheng had actually noticed the problem as soon as he arrived, because it was clearly a coffee shop. Now, hearing Lu Cheng's words, he realized he had misunderstood and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I really didn't know. It's okay, we can just eat something else."

Mingxiu looked at the two apologizing with amusement. It was clear that they hadn't meant it, because both of them looked exhausted. "It's alright. But since you haven't eaten, why don't you eat something before drinking coffee? After all, snacks can't compare to a proper meal. I'm cooking some noodles right now. If you don't mind, I can make some extra noodles and you can eat here."

"Wouldn't this be too much trouble? Let's forget about it," Lu Cheng said somewhat embarrassedly. He really felt bad about eating here for two meals in a row.

"It's nothing, just a matter of cooking an extra handful of noodles. Please wait a moment." Mingxiu said, then turned and left.

After Mingxiu's figure disappeared, Zhang Dongsheng looked at Lu Cheng angrily: "Why didn't you say it was a coffee shop before? This is really awkward."

Lu Cheng sighed, "I had so many things to do today, I really forgot, and only remembered when I got to the door."

Lu Cheng had already said this much, and Zhang Dongsheng sighed. Indeed, what a mess this morning had been! First, the actress took leave and acted like a diva, then the actor was exposed for soliciting prostitution. All morning, they were being scolded by this person and that person, and on top of that, the investors were also upset. They really didn't know how to handle it.

When Mingxiu came out with two glasses of watermelon juice, she saw two people with worried faces. Mingxiu didn't ask what was wrong, but her expression was full of sympathy: "This is watermelon juice that I just squeezed. Please have some to cool down. The food will be ready in a little while."

Seeing the bright red watermelon juice on the table, with some watermelon pulp and ice cubes emitting a cool aroma, it looked very refreshing. The two quickly thanked them, saying, "Thank you."

Mingxiu shook her head with a smile. She had seen it while watching videos this morning. She was just watching for fun, but she accidentally saw Lu Cheng. Mingxiu immediately recognized him as a customer who came to the store at noon. She was surprised. It really is true that watching for fun leads to discovering things around you.

Then came sympathy for him; it was truly tragic. He was doing a good job, but because of a colleague, he ended up in a terrible mess. Tsk tsk tsk, working people have it so tough.

So Mingxiu wasn't surprised at all when she saw the two of them today, and was even willing to let them stay for a meal. After all, this situation was too tragic, and it was best not to add insult to injury to their already fragile hearts.

Mingxiu sighed twice and then hurried to the kitchen to make noodles.

Leaving Lu Cheng and the other two to talk in the front hall, Zhang Dongsheng took a sip of watermelon juice and was immediately captivated by the rich watermelon flavor and the refreshing feeling of ice. He let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that the fatigue and troubles he had just experienced outside had lessened considerably.

"Alright, let's decide what to do about this quickly," Zhang Dongsheng said, looking at Lu Cheng's face.

"What else can we do? It's already like this. If we film half of it now, the loss won't be too great. We can only quickly replace the actor and hurry up and finish filming." Lu Cheng sighed. What else could they do? It was already like this.

"Are you changing both the male and female leads?" Zhang Dongsheng asked.

"We've already changed them, and things are already like this. If it doesn't work out, we can find two people who aren't very famous but have clean private lives to film. That will reduce the cost. Besides, our script already has some buzz, so we can hype it up a bit." After Lu Cheng finished speaking, he felt like he had come to terms with it.
