"Honestly, what do you think if I moved the headquarters of Chaoxun to Zhongguancun?" Huo Yunchao tapped her soda glass lightly with his cup, earnestly seeking her opinion.
A feeling of frustration flashed before her eyes.
Huo Yunchao was overjoyed.
"Oh, I see. Then you can't order takeout from the coffee shop anymore." A major customer was lost. Xue Qiandai feigned sadness, her eyes cautiously scanning the beauty's expression out of the corner of her eye.
Huo Yunchao was clearly more distressed than him, and sighed softly, "I used to hear people say that the capital is so big. One person is in the southeast and the other is in the northwest, and every day is like a long-distance relationship. I don't want that."
Haidian is located in the northwest of Beijing. Lishui Jiayuan, where Xue Qiandai used to live, is located in the southeast, as it is the second stop on the Batong Line.
The implication is quite obvious.
Xue Qiandai understood; she understood the beauty's thoughts. After composing herself, she said, word by word, "As long as our hearts are connected, distance is not a problem."
Sigh, this is too convoluted! Her passion was boiling. As for her not yet having a chance to turn the tables, who cares? It's just a matter of time. But she wanted the beauty to know her feelings. "Brother Chao, I..."
She always called him "Beauty," only when their souls were intimately connected did she call him "Brother Chao." At that moment, Huo Yunchao was like a madman, as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones and into his heart; the tide of love engulfed the two of them.
But before Xue Qiandai could finish speaking, Gu Fan walked over and said, "Yun Chao, the people from TC Group have arrived. They want to talk to you alone."
Huo Yunchao grasped Xue Qiandai's wrist, looking at her intently. "Dai Dai, wait for me a moment, I'll be right back."
Xue Qiandai nodded emphatically. TC was a true giant corporation, and if they all wanted to discuss business cooperation with Chaoxun, Xue Qiandai would only be happy for Huo Yunchao.
The tea party was bustling with people, seemingly with endless topics to discuss, and those names acted like magnets for wealth. But Xue Qiandai had lost interest in socializing. She sat in a quiet corner, recalling Huo Yunchao's words.
That's great, he still wants to date her. When he comes out, she'll give him the most passionate kiss and tell him that she loves him just as much.
The ringing of the cell phone interrupted Xue Qiandai's thoughts. Huh, it was her!
Pressing the answer button, Xue Qiandai casually blew on her bangs. "Miss Zhao, our store doesn't deliver on weekends."
"You're not doing business even when you have it? Are you stupid?" Zhao Jiening retorted.
"Anyway, I have an appointment today, so I won't be delivering." As expected of the sugar daddy, Xue Qiandai's voice softened a bit, but she wouldn't budge an inch; there was no way she would let her deliver.
Zhao Jiening's sneer came from the other end of the phone, "What, you went to meet President Huo again? Aren't you afraid of the seven-day itch? It's strange, you had time to answer my call, did he stand you up again?"
"Boring! I'm hanging up now." Xue Qiandai muttered, thinking that Miss Zhao must be too lonely, being a single dog, and kept trying to chat with her.
"Wait, I wanted to ask if your shop is open on weekends? I'd like some freshly ground coffee." After beating around the bush for a while, Zhao Jiening finally got to the point.
Jian Yan once said that Lightyear Coffee caters to CBD white-collar workers, and the store is closed on weekends when they are off work. But the last time they went, they found that Blue Mountain Coffee was there.
"I'm not sure, sometimes there are people around. Anyway, it's close by, you can just stroll over there, and you might have an unexpected encounter."
"Okay, give me the address!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Jiening walked along the streets of the CBD, holding a Paradise umbrella embroidered with snow cherry blossoms on the inside and purple on the outside. Ten minutes later, she arrived at a small shop on the ground floor of Jintong West Alley.
Lightyear Coffee.
What good luck! There's a sign on the door that says "open."
She walked in gracefully.
The space is small, even cramped, but it is filled with fragrance.
Summer sunlight streamed in, illuminating the face of the man behind the counter. His hair had grown a bit long, partially obscuring his eyebrows and eyes; he was making coffee.
With a slight twitch of her nostrils, Zhao Jiening recognized it as Italian espresso.
Standing in front of the counter, Zhao Jiening tapped the surface with her fingers, looking relaxed and content. "An espresso, a cappuccino, and a... creative coffee, please."
This combination is a required component of the Barista World Barista Championship. Zhao Jiening recalled that Xue Qiandai had mentioned that their baristas were internationally certified.
Blue Mountain placed the freshly brewed espresso on the counter, his voice calm: "Miss, believe me, after three cups of coffee, you're sure to have a sleepless night. Espresso, please enjoy."
Lan Shan stopped moving, clasped his hands in front of him, and looked straight ahead.
"Is it stupid not to make money when you can?" Zhao Jiening blurted out, but she always maintained a degree of respect for professionals.
"That's my job, you just need to do your job well."
Lan Shan used a measuring spoon to scoop out a certain amount of coffee beans, preparing to put them into the coffee machine, when Zhao Jiening interrupted him. "Where do your coffee beans come from?"
"Baoshan, Yunnan, small-bean coffee."
This region's Arabica coffee is widely recognized as the best coffee in the country, and Starbucks also uses this type of coffee bean.
Zhao Jiening said "Oh," and then asked, "I used to only drink Arabica coffee. How do your coffee beans compare to Arabica?"
That tone was very provocative.
"So, you don't care about the coffee itself, you're just drinking the brand plus caffeine?"
Blue Mountain responded.
Zhao Jiening: "..."
