The recruitment process has concluded.
Xue Qiandai joined the group amidst applause from several shop assistants.
Jin Xiangyu introduced her to the shop's staff, glanced at her watch, and her capitalist personality kicked in. "Blue Coffee, how's the afternoon tea preparation going? Let me tell you, this order came from my best friend. If it's done well, we'll be catering to their company's afternoon tea from now on."
Everyone at Lightyear Coffee has a nickname. Jian Yan is called "Little Rocket," meaning fast; while Blue Mountain is called "Blue Coffee" or "Big Coffee," the staff call her whatever they feel like. As for Jin Xiangyu, the staff privately call her "Little Fox," implying cunning and shrewdness. She doesn't like this nickname and later calls herself "Snow Fox," since Snow Fox is pretty after all.
Lan Shan patted his chest and assured him, "You still don't trust me? I'll take you away at four o'clock sharp." He stopped chatting and started making coffee.
“Delivering food requires a uniform, boss, and she doesn’t have one yet,” Jian Yan offered, thinking she couldn’t very well wear Chanel to deliver food.
Xue Qiandai glanced at Jian Yan's uniform. With that tacky yellow, even with her high-fashion face, she couldn't pull off the uniform allure. "No need, it's too ugly!"
Girl, how honest are you? Doesn't your boss have any pride?
Jin Xiangyu's eyes darted around, and she looked her up and down again. Such a nice figure! "It's Xiaoxue's first day here, so she can wear whatever she wants. Hey, can I call you Xiaoxue?"
Xue Qiandai was speechless. "That's so common." "My family calls me Dai Dai."
He wasn't family, but a big boy, a man whose eyes held the vastness of the stars. He had a pair of ink-black pupils, clear and distinct. Lately, her life had been filled with too much darkness, and only when she thought of that person would she show a fleeting moment of tenderness.
“Dai Dai sounds better,” Jian Yan readily agreed.
"You..." Jin Xiangyu seemed to be thinking, her eyes like hooks staring at Xue Qiandai's wrist, "Is your watch real? And your bag?"
"High-quality replica! Super A-grade fake!" Xue Qiandai answered smoothly, without any embarrassment. She even tiptoed and twirled around, her graceful figure displaying the most standard ballet movements. "However, I'm the kind of person who can make a fake look like the real thing."
Unlike her timidity during the job interview, Xue Qiandai was extremely confident at this moment, and her whole demeanor radiated charm.
"praise!"
The girls chatted for a while, and then Blue Mountain skillfully made all the coffee, packaged it, and put it in a box.
The shop was filled with the rich aroma of coffee.
Xue Qiandai sniffed her nose and glanced at Lan Shan again, thinking, "He's got some skills."
She reached for the box, nearly straining her back. "Ouch, I'm lame! My back! How can it be so heavy?"
Bang! The box fell back onto the counter.
Blue Mountain looked at her like she was an idiot, “37 Grandes!”
Lightyear Coffee uses the same cup sizes as a certain international brand coffee shop, Starbucks. They offer three cup sizes: tall, grande, and venti, corresponding to medium, large, and extra-large sizes, respectively.
Jian Yan walked over. She was shorter than Xue Qiandai, had a baby face, and looked thin and petite.
But when she gripped the edge of the box with both hands, she lifted it off the counter. Wow, she's incredibly strong!
She started to walk outside, but seeing that Xue Qiandai didn't move, she said, "What are you still standing there for? I'll go with you to deliver it!"
Xue Qiandai swallowed hard, utterly impressed. She took small steps to catch up and asked admiringly, "How did you do that?"
This is a classic movie line; a child in Spider-Man asked him this question. It's also Xue Qiandai's catchphrase.
As she reached the door, Jian Yan turned back, realizing something. "Boss, I only have one electric scooter."
Clearly, Xue Qiandai lacks the ability to complete deliveries independently. Furthermore, two people cannot travel in one vehicle.
Jin Xiangyu reluctantly walked over while wiping the floor, a car key lying in her palm. "Can you take my car for delivery?"
This was said to Xue Qiandai; Jian Yan doesn't have a driver's license.
Jian Yan thought Xue Qiandai would be extremely grateful, having a boss's car to drive right after taking office, but she didn't receive that kind of treatment.
Xue Qiandai crossed her arms, frowned, and looked utterly disgusted.
"Boss, do you know how difficult it is to park at Yintai? You can easily get a ticket if you're not careful!"
If I put up a sign, this delivery is a freebie; I'll lose money.
“Underground parking is an option, but the parking fees are outrageously expensive,” Xue Qiandai said quietly.
Jin Xiangyu knew this; after all, it was a super 5A Grade A office building, the location of the most high-end shopping mall in the capital, a gathering place for the wealthy.
"Most importantly, Yintai's underground parking garage is full of luxury cars worth tens of millions of yuan."
"If you go in, I'm worried your little beetle will become so self-conscious that it will question its existence."
That was a brilliant finishing touch.
Jin Xiangyu didn't know if Little Beetle was questioning her life, but at this moment, she was questioning her life.
Did she hire an employee for herself, or a little princess?
The four sentences, delivered in rapid succession, were all expressions of contempt for her.
She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger; she was unwilling to admit that she had misjudged him.
See, it's not entirely useless. It knows the CBD area very well and is very familiar with the traffic conditions.
Jin Xiangyu closed her fingers, holding the key in her palm, still speaking in a tone of complete control, "If you don't want to drive, then don't. Both of you have such amazing figures, riding in an electric scooter is fine too. Don't accuse me of exploiting my employees!"
"Hmph, might as well take it." "Boss, although it's not easy to drive, I'm an experienced driver. Um, if I get a ticket, will you reimburse me?"
Jin Xiangyu wanted to stick her feet out, but seeing all those designer clothes, she thought better of it; her small business couldn't afford to lose money. "I'll give you your wages for today."
