"Huh? Can't I even go to the cafeteria if I want to, Susu?" Xia Ruoming asked, staring into Chu Suhe's eyes.
"No, no." Chu Suhe sighed secretly. It seemed that she would have to spend money again.
After walking to the cafeteria with Chu Suhe, Chu Suhe hesitated at the window for a long time. Looking at her expression, Xia Ruoming knew that she definitely had not been eating well recently.
After ordering a mountain of dishes for Chu Suhe, Xia Ruoming ordered a few roast duck rolls for her, and then took her to sit in a corner.
Looking at the fact that she had twice as many dishes as Xia Ruoming, Chu Suhe didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I just picked some dishes for you, Susu. I think you don't mind." Xia Ruoming said with a smile after sitting down.
"No... I don't mind..." Chu Suhe said in a low voice. Although Xia Ruoming said that she chose it randomly, for some reason, Xia Ruoming seemed to know her preferences. No matter whether it was in high school or college, the cuisine she ordered for herself for the past few months were all the ones she liked.
Although she can eat anything, she still has a favorite type...
On the second day, all the freshmen realized that the first day’s military training was just dessert. Good days... no, the main course was still to come.
Of course, Xia Ruoming didn’t know about this, and she had no idea how hard it was for her classmates who were undergoing military training. After all, she had just run away with Chu Suhe. She was drinking ice juice and watching the show yesterday, but she didn’t come today.
The reason was that she accidentally saw a piece of news about a two-story coffee shop shop for rent near Zhejiang University, so Xia Ruoming hurriedly took Chu Suhe there.
After haggling for a whole morning, Xia Ruoming did not choose to rent a store, but directly bought the cafe at 5% lower than the market price.
The coffee shop was renovated not long ago, and it uses a solid color combination of white, yellow, light gray and walnut color, transitioning from white wall paint, light yellow wall paint to log color decoration. The coffee shop also uses light-colored stone and cement. There is not too big a span in the color matching, and the whole combination does not look abrupt at all. It only needs a slight modification to become the French style that Xia Ruoming needs. There will be no problem with normal operation during this period.
Perhaps the previous owner wanted customers to have a different experience, so different seats and coffee tables are placed in several areas of the store, and chairs are also installed at the bar, making it convenient for coffee lovers to watch the process of brewing coffee up close.
"Ruoming...why did you bring me here..."
Chu Suhe, who witnessed Xia Ruoming's entire negotiation, was extremely shocked. She knew that Xia Ruoming might be richer than her, but she didn't expect that she was so rich that she could directly buy a two-story coffee shop in a prime location and even paid the full amount.
At the same time, she didn't understand why Rumeng wanted to bring her along when she wanted to buy a cafe. She seemed to have done nothing the whole time. She just sat beside them and listened to the eloquent argument between Rumeng and the original owner of the shop.
"Susu, what do you think of this cafe?" Xia Ruoming did not answer Chu Suhe's question immediately. Instead, she walked around and confirmed that the tables, chairs and bar were all fine before turning around and asking Chu Suhe.
"Well... I haven't been to a coffee shop, but the decoration looks pretty good?" Chu Suhe thought for a long time before answering. After all, she had little time and money to go to a coffee shop, and high-end coffee shops would not hire someone like her who had no experience to work part-time.
"Yeah, although it's not as good as I wanted..." Xia Ruoming said for no reason, and then asked, "Su Su, are you looking for a part-time job?"
"Ah, ah, ah? Yes, I'm looking for a part-time job..." Chu Suhe was stunned for a moment. Xia Ruoming hadn't come to school during this period. How did she know?
"As you can see, Susu, this cafe is mine now. In the future, it will become a cafe like the Starry Sky in Rongcheng." Xia Ruoming said slowly, "When I was in Rongcheng, I told you one thing in the Starry Sky Cafe. Now, it's time for me to need your help, Susu."
Chu Suhe felt that her breathing had stopped at that moment. She thought of what Xia Ruoming said to her in the Starry Sky Cafe that day. Xia Ruoming said at that time that she wanted Chu Suhe to help her.
Chu Suhe didn't take it seriously at that time. She just thought it was a joke from Xia Ruoming. After all, what use could someone like her be? Even if Xia Ruoming didn't ask her to work, she would still work part-time to earn money and return the money to Xia Ruoming.
Chu Suhe didn't expect that Xia Ruoming still remembered what she said at that time.
"I don't have the energy to manage this cafe myself, so I want to hire you, Susu... to be the acting manager of this cafe!"
She originally thought that this was also one of Xia Ruoming's jokes. After all, she knew nothing about coffee. The managers of those chain coffee shops seemed to be extremely busy and had to deal with things all the time. How could she possibly be the manager of a coffee shop?
But there was only sincerity in Xia Ruoming's eyes, without a trace of falsehood, and she had no intention of joking at all.
"But...but Ruoming, I don't know much about coffee shops. I can be a waiter or a cleaner, but I can't be a manager. Ruoming, you said to find someone else..." Chu Suhe stuttered. This was Ruoming's business, and she didn't want Xia Ruoming to mess up the coffee shop out of pity for her.
"It's okay, you can do it." Xia Ruoming walked forward and said to Chu Suhe while playing with her hair, "Besides, this is why I let you be the acting store manager. After Su Su gets used to the job of store manager, I will make her a regular employee."
"..." Chu Suhe fell silent, as if she was a little hesitant. She didn't know why Xia Ruoming believed in her so much, but being able to help Ruoming seemed better than working part-time outside. Those bosses didn't treat part-time workers as human beings at all.
"Ruoming, I have absolutely no experience working part-time in a cafe... Even if you believe in me, I don't think I can do it well..."
Xia Ruoming smiled imperceptibly. The reason why she trusted Chu Suhe so much was that, firstly, this "acting store manager" was actually a position she specially prepared for Chu Suhe. There were not so many things to be responsible for. The person who was really in charge was actually Luo Qingxuan, the chief barista she had chosen a long time ago. When in Chengdu, Luo Qingxuan also promised Xia Ruoming that she would come to help in Xia Ruoming's coffee shop in Hangzhou in the future. Chu Suhe had experience working part-time in a milk tea shop before, so she was more than capable of handling the matters of "acting store manager".
"It's okay, Susu. Qingxuan used to be the manager of a coffee shop. I will let her take you with me. You just need to learn from her, okay?" Looking at Chu Suhe who still lacked confidence, Xia Ruoming said softly to Chu Suhe.
