Lin Xiazhu was a little confused about Lin Xiaoxue. When did this girl become so greedy? No, when did she start caring about her business? Could it be that she's short of money and wants to take a cut?
Actually, Lin Xiaoxue didn't have any other ideas this time. She just genuinely wanted to attract more business to the coffee shop so as to leave a good impression on her older sister. She simply wanted to please her older sister.
However, Lin Xiazhu didn't appreciate it. Because of Lin Xiaoxue's actions, every now and then, these Feifei and Yuyu would come over to sit and have a drink. It was fine, since they had paid for it and were considered customers, so they should be treated well.
But these guys were naturally restless. They brought their friends over for drinks, and then took the opportunity to mock them, force them to pay the bill, and deliberately humiliate them even though they knew the person they brought was poor.
Lin Xiazhu found these things annoying but didn't want to get involved. However, there were always people who would come to cause her trouble. Like today, those troublemakers brought their little followers over and insisted that the little followers pay the bill. The little follower was a poor wretch and didn't have money to pay, so Feifei, Yuyu and the others grabbed him and said that they would make the little follower wash dishes and sweep the floor in the coffee shop to offset today's expenses.
"Boss, what do you think we should do about this?" The waitress, Xiao Yuan, came in helplessly to ask Lin Xiazhu for instructions. Lin Xiazhu's office was separated by a curtain, which had no soundproofing effect at all, so she could hear everything that was happening outside.
She stood up, lifted the curtain, and went outside. "If you want to cause trouble, go outside. Don't cause trouble in my shop. Hurry up and pay your bill. If you keep arguing, I'll call the police and have you arrested."
"Who are you? Call your boss out here, we're going to file a complaint." Who else could it be but Fei Fei, with the sharpest voice and the biggest desire to show off?
It's been four years since I last saw her; it seems she doesn't recognize me.
"She's our boss," Xiaoyuan replied confidently, straightening her back.
"Are you the owner of this coffee shop?" So young, looking like a college student, Fei Fei thought to herself, feeling a mix of envy and admiration. To be able to open a coffee shop in Beijing, this person must come from a well-off family, and she's also beautiful.
"I said you..." Feifei wanted to say something more, but Manman tugged at her clothes.
"Feifei looks so familiar. Have we met somewhere before?" Manman looked at Lin Xiazhu, desperately trying to remember.
"Who? Have we seen her before?" Fei Fei was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Yu Yu and Man Man. There were four of them today, including her three bitch sisters and a little follower.
The follower was from the countryside. She had gone to the same school as her in the south and followed them there. Even after graduation, she continued to follow them and was often bullied. However, the follower was too vain and always thought that by following them, she could squeeze into the circle of the rich and eventually marry a tycoon to escape her impoverished life.
He's brainless; I don't know how he even got into university. He can't judge people properly and is still daydreaming. Instead of wasting time hanging out with these three drama queens, he should just find a job and work hard to earn money.
“I remember now, you’re the one on the train… How come you’re here? Do you really own this coffee shop? What does your family do?” Fei Fei quickly remembered where she had seen Lin Xiazhu before; she had once thought the other woman was a poor wretch.
"Can't you see? I own a coffee shop. What? You can't afford a few cups of juice? You've always boasted about how rich you are, and this is it?" Lin Xiazhu's eyes were sharp, as if she would crush them instantly if they dared to utter a single word of rebuttal.
Although four years have passed, Fei Fei and the other two still feel lingering fear and remember clearly the incident of their enamel cup being crushed and their glass cup being shattered.
We can't beat her in a fight. Today's game is forced to end. She's a tough nut to crack. We can't afford to mess with her now. We'll find someone else to deal with her later.
All three were pragmatic and realized that the current situation was not in their favor, so they turned around and tried to slip away. However, Feifei was grabbed by Lin Xiazhu, who said, "Pay the bill first, or you're not going anywhere."
"How much?" Fei Fei frowned, her face contorted in pain. Her wrist felt like it was about to be crushed.
"Two glasses of orange juice, one glass of coffee, one glass of green tea, plus cake and pastries, totaling two hundred and thirty yuan," Xiaoyuan quickly reported.
Feifei struggled for a moment, then said with a pained expression, "Let go first, I'll take the wallet."
Lin Xiazhu let go of her hand, and the other person trembled as she took out her wallet, pulled out three hundred-yuan bills, and threw them at Xiaoyuan, saying, "Keep the change, the rest is your tip."
Then the three of them disappeared in a flash, leaving the little follower trembling, unsure whether to leave or stay. In fact, despite her vanity, she was also quite cunning. She just subconsciously assumed that Lin Xiazhu was a noble lady from some prestigious family, with a higher status than Feifei and the others, because she saw that Feifei and Yuyu didn't dare to offend her.
She dared not leave easily and offend Lin Xiazhu, yet secretly hoped that she was kind-hearted and would pity her situation and help her.
"The bill has been settled, you can leave now." Lin Xiazhu didn't even glance at the little follower before turning and entering her office. Unexpectedly, the little follower followed her in.
"Boss, can you take me in? I'm a very hard worker. Please let me work as a waiter in the coffee shop. I promise I'll work hard. Please help me." The little follower was in tears, almost kneeling down to beg her.
"You're a college student, why aren't you looking for a job? What are you thinking about all day? I can't afford to hire you here, so get out." Lin Xiazhu had no interest in playing along.
The follower was stunned for a moment, then cried and said, "I'm not a college student. I'm from the south. After graduating from junior high school, I went to a technical school. After graduation, I came to Beijing to work, but I only know Feifei and the others. They told me to follow them, but they never found me a job."
Those three men treated her like a maid, constantly bullying her. They never intended to actually find her a job. She was unfamiliar with the capital and didn't know what kind of work to look for, so she just followed the three men around. Although she was bullied on a daily basis, at least she had a place to stay and didn't have to worry about food and drink.
“You’ve got the wrong person. I’m not some rich girl. I’m also from out of town and my family doesn’t have much money. Those three people are afraid of me because I’m strong. They can’t beat me, and they’ll definitely come looking for trouble when they get help,” Lin Xiazhu said calmly.
The assistant hesitated for a moment, but quickly asked, "Are you still hiring? Can I come work here? Can you provide meals and accommodation?"
She wanted to stay here temporarily until she had some money and became familiar with the capital, then she could find a better job.
"The coffee shop isn't short of people right now, so you should go. Don't waste your time. If you don't go after her soon, you won't be able to hold onto your last leg anymore." Lin Xiazhu kindly reminded her that Fei Fei Yu Yu was not someone to be trifled with, and that she could easily ruin this little follower later.
The little follower was still unwilling to give up and tried to stay put, but in the end, Lin Xiazhu dragged him out by himself.
Tsk, because of their noise, other customers left early, probably never wanting to come again, which directly affects the coffee shop's business.
