Chang Jing tapped his fingers lightly on the table, pondering how to deal with the situation at hand.
The plan was originally intended to deter Lin Xiangfu from harassing Chang Ling, but I never expected that I would underestimate the power of his father, Lin Youcai.
The capture of Scarface's men foreshadows that things are starting to spiral out of control.
But none of that matters; I still have a plan to deal with it.
The safest course of action is to let Lin Youcai stop his investigation and not pursue it further.
Although Chang Jing wasn't afraid of people like Lin Youcai, he still had other relatives and friends.
I need to ensure their safety.
Chang Jing thought for a moment and came up with the safest solution.
He picked up the phone and called Bai Mei...
At this moment, Bai Mei was trimming her nails in her dormitory. Looking at herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
When will Chang Jing finally see through her feelings?
Bai Mei's feelings for Chang Jing had already begun in high school.
Chang Jing was smart and capable, and he had always been very good to her, which made Bai Mei fall in love with him uncontrollably.
However, Chang Jing seems to know nothing about Bai Mei's feelings, and is still single, let alone having any deep thoughts about her.
Bai Mei sighed, put down the nail clippers, and gently ran her fingers over her nails, leaving the surface smooth and even.
Just then, Bai Mei's phone rang, and the screen showed Chang Jing's call.
Bai Mei's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly answered the phone: "Hello, Chang Jing?"
Chang Jing's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Bai Mei, do you have time to come to the milk tea shop? There are some things I want to talk to you about."
Bai Mei's heart was pounding. She asked excitedly, "What is it? I'll be right there!"
Chang Jing gave a brief reply and then hung up the phone.
Bai Mei sat on the edge of the bed, a faint sense of anticipation in her heart.
Has Chang Jing finally realized that he doesn't have such a simple perspective on himself?
Otherwise, why would they suddenly ask me to meet up for a chat?
Bai Mei excitedly spun around the dormitory a few times before starting to dress herself up carefully.
She chose a pink dress to accentuate her figure, then carefully applied makeup, and finally selected a pair of matching high heels.
Bai Mei looked at herself in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction. This outfit was the most eye-catching.
Bai Mei couldn't wait to get to Chang Jing's milk tea shop. The moment she pushed open the door, she saw Chang Jing on the phone. When he saw her, he hung up the phone and greeted her with a big smile.
Bai Mei's heart raced. Chang Jing's appearance... could it be that her expectations were about to come true?
Chang Jing pulled Bai Mei to a more secluded private room inside the store, poured two cups of milk tea with a smile, and then looked at Bai Mei and said, "Bai Mei, I'll have to trouble you again this time."
Upon hearing this, Bai Mei's thoughts were abruptly pulled back to reality.
She was slightly disappointed, but still managed a forced smile and asked, "Chang Jing, what are you saying? What kind of help do you need this time?"
"Oh, is that so?" Chang Jing didn't notice Bai Mei's expression and continued, "Scarface has some things to take care of and may have to leave for a while."
“Scarface used to manage the business. Although the store was fully operational and didn’t require much management, it still needed someone in charge.”
Chang Jing smiled and said to Bai Mei, "I have other things to do and don't have time to take care of the shop's business, so I'd like to ask you, Bai Mei, if you don't have any classes during this period, could you help me look after the milk tea shop?"
Actually, Chang Jing's decision to ask Bai Mei for help instead of her cousin who runs a clothing store next door was based on some consideration.
After all, she has an extraordinary family background. Some fools who want to cause trouble at the store will have to think twice before doing so. This way, Chang Jing can avoid a lot of trouble.
The key point is that in dealing with Lin Youcai, we might need to use Bai Mei's father's connections later on.
However, Chang Jing felt somewhat guilty for the suspicion that he was "taking advantage" of Bai Mei.
Bai Mei sat in the private room, and after listening to Chang Jing's words, she was initially a little disappointed.
She thought Chang Jing had asked her out because he had something important to say.
I never imagined I just needed her to help watch the shop.
Bai Mei's eyes dimmed slightly, and she seemed unable to hide the slight disappointment in her heart.
Just then, Chang Jing casually said, "Since Scarface has to leave temporarily, I hope you can temporarily take over as the 'boss' and help look after the milk tea shop."
The moment the words "boss lady" were uttered, Bai Mei's eyes immediately ignited with passion, gleaming brightly.
Her heart raced instantly, and ecstasy welled up in her eyes.
Although she was only temporarily helping out at the shop, Chang Jing actually called her "boss lady," which made Bai Mei feel like she had received an enormous favor.
Bai Mei was so happy she could hardly contain herself, her face beaming with one radiant smile after another, leaving Chang Jing somewhat bewildered.
Bai Mei's mind was instantly captivated by the two words "boss lady," and a series of her own fantasies immediately surfaced in her mind—
She was wearing a pink dress and bustling about in the bright sunshine.
She personally went to each table to greet every customer, showing great care and concern.
She stood behind the counter, her eyes shining, gesturing and directing at each employee…
All these images made Bai Mei grin like an idiot; she couldn't wait to experience what it was like to be a "boss lady."
Chang Jing was a little confused by Bai Mei's sudden change. He had just said it casually, so why was Bai Mei so happy?
Does she really enjoy being the owner of a bubble tea shop?
Chang Jing was a little puzzled. Bai Mei wasn't usually the type to be so enthusiastic about working.
Although Chang Jing had some questions, seeing Bai Mei's happy expression, he didn't think about it any further...
Although she found it somewhat unbelievable, Bai Mei felt that being happy was better than being angry, so she didn't dwell on it.
Chang Jing nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Bai Mei. I might be away for a few days, so I'll leave the shop to you for now. I'll give you the keys and ledgers, and remember to call me if you have any questions."
Bai Mei said excitedly, "Chang Jing, don't worry, I will take full responsibility for the milk tea shop these next few days! I guarantee you will be satisfied!"
Seeing how enthusiastic she was, Chang Jing felt bad and said with a smile, "Then I'll trouble you. You're familiar with the things in the shop, so just tell the other employees. I'll be coming over often these days, so feel free to ask me if you have any questions."
Bai Mei nodded hurriedly, her eyes filled with joy: "Don't worry, Chang Jing, I'll take good care of the shop! Even if you're gone for a few days, I'll keep the business running as usual, and there won't be any problems!"
