At this moment, Cui Chuwei could no longer control her expression.
My brother has already said so much, is this woman deaf?
Her brother earns a fortune every second, yet he still comes to persuade Jiang Tian to do this. He's practically wasting his life—just to talk to an ordinary person.
While feeling happy, Cui Chuwei also hoped that someone would be more sensible.
She even said she would have to bear the consequences herself, but Jiang Tian still disagreed.
What exactly is Jiang Tian trying to achieve?
Did she really think that they couldn't find a suitable coffee brand besides her?
If it weren't for the series of twists and turns, perhaps Cui Chuwei would have backed down.
There's a principle called the "happy person yields" principle. She's so happy now that she's too lazy to get entangled with certain people and things.
But she can no longer be happy.
Cui Chuwei felt deeply insulted.
She truly hadn't expected that Jiang Tian was such an out-of-touch person.
She seemed completely oblivious to the fact that befriending Cui Linye and Cui Chuwei would be of any benefit to Su Yuyao.
Jiang Tian is completely incompetent; she's utterly clueless about interpersonal relationships and social interactions.
Cui Chuwei was about to lose her temper.
The room fell silent again after Jiang Tian refused once more.
Even Cui Linye probably didn't expect that his repeated requests would be met with repeated rejections.
Jiang Tian completely disregarded their status and did whatever she said.
A person like that, if she were to work with Cui Linye, might be considered a good business partner, at least she has principles.
However, in this context, this principle seems very out of place.
Cui Linye looked at Jiang Tian quietly, and Jiang Tian met his gaze without fear.
Only the two of them knew how many undercurrents were swirling in their eyes.
Cui Chuwei was already at her breaking point.
She knew she would explode soon.
If Jiang Tian refuses again, there's absolutely no point in continuing the discussion—she'll take drastic measures to make Jiang Tian realize the gravity of the situation.
When Cui Chuwei was about to give up, Cui Linye remained calm as always, and his voice remained gentle.
"Then can you tell me, what other reasons are there for refusing?"
"It's very simple, for the same reason as before: I'm responsible for the signboard of my shop. No matter how much effort you put in, sometimes a contract can't decide everything."
"If something unexpected happens in our store and our sales drop, who should we turn to?"
Jiang Tian said to Cui Linye in a sincere tone, "Mr. Cui, I hope you can consider the situation of us small businesses and stop making things difficult for us."
Cui Chuwei finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
She was so angry she laughed.
"Jiang Tian, I'm not trying to be mean, but do you really not know your place?"
"Look at yourself now, a coffee shop manager. Have you forgotten how down on your luck you were before?"
"If we hadn't met once before, I really wouldn't want to have much interaction with you. After all, someone like you can never shake off the mindset of a commoner."
"Such a great opportunity is right in front of you, and you can't seize it. Countless people will feel sorry for you. Since you can't seize it, then find someone who can."
Cui Chuwei looked at Cui Linye: "Brother, let's call Su Yuyao. Isn't this store owned by Su Yuyao?"
"Jiang Tian is just managing things on behalf of someone else, so why does she have so much authority? Shouldn't we seriously consider having someone else negotiate with her?"
Cui Linye did not answer Cui Chuwei, but looked at her with a detached gaze: "I am talking to Miss Jiang, do I need you to order me around?"
Cui Chuwei's expression changed!
"Go out and have some fun for a while. My card is here. You can use it to buy whatever you want."
Cui Linye took out a card and pushed it in front of Cui Chuwei.
He whispered to her, "I haven't taught you how to negotiate with others before, but now I'll teach you properly. Since Su Yuyao has transferred all authority to Jiang Tian, then we should communicate with Jiang Tian."
"If you bypass Jiang Tian and communicate with Su Yuyao, who are you disrespecting? Do you think changing to someone else will yield the same results?"
"Don't forget, this shop was opened by Su Yuyao for Jiang Tian. Does Su Yuyao care about such a small amount of money?"
"If I were to actually surpass Jiang Tian, that would be the real way to antagonize Su Yuyao."
“Sometimes you need to learn how to interact with people. I can’t always guide you; you have to be able to see things for yourself.”
Cui Chuwei was so reprimanded by Cui Linye that she couldn't lift her head, but a strange sense of warmth spread through her heart.
She had always been on her own before, and had never experienced any warmth or comfort.
And now, finally someone is willing to teach her.
"Brother, thank you. I won't let you down. I'll think carefully about what you said..."
"Yes, I believe you will get better and better."
After this exchange between the siblings, Cui Chuwei took Cui Linye's card and left happily.
Only Jiang Tian and Cui Linye remained in the private room.
Once the extra people left, Cui Linye's expression changed completely.
His posture changed, and his eyes held an indescribable meaning.
He looked at Jiang Tian with a deep gaze.
"How have you been these past years?"
Cui Linye finally spoke.
He looked at her, his tone still calm.
“That’s good, Mr. Cui. Let’s continue our discussion about the coffee shop business.”
Jiang Tian clearly didn't want to reminisce about the past with him.
Cui Linye looked at Jiang Tian, his expression unreadable.
"I thought you were dead. I didn't expect you to be so resilient." His tone was somewhat cold.
Jiang Tian smiled slightly: "That would really disappoint Mr. Cui. I've been doing quite well these past few years."
"What do you want to do by being with Su Yuyao? Do you want to marry into a wealthy family, or is it just like Su Yuyao himself said, just playing around?" Cui Linye continued to ask.
When talking to Jiang Tian, Cui Linye exuded a strange mix of relaxation and malice.
Only the two people involved truly know the source of this atrocity.
Jiang Tian simply looked at him quietly without answering.
After a few seconds of silence, she changed the subject back to the coffee: "Mr. Cui, I hope you can understand that our shop really has some difficulties. I'm afraid your sister will frame me; she's always up to no good."
"Even if she agrees readily now, there's nothing we can do if she suddenly changes her mind."
“You’ll only compensate me with a small amount of money, and then no one will care about me, the victim, or the shop. So I won’t agree to this deal.”
