Liang Zhirou sat at the front desk, actually drawing while waiting for the employees to come over.
Lin Miaomiao arrived the earliest, still on the phone when she arrived. While helping to pack, she was arguing with Xiao Jie about whether the art design for the new character would be approved.
The shop was still quite deserted, and the cold wind outside brought a chill.
Once it's fully light, the number of customers increases dramatically. Many office workers passing by will eat here or simply take their food to go.
Fortunately, Liang Zhirou and Lin Miaomiao had already hired employees in advance, so they weren't particularly busy.
Apart from the pastry chef in the kitchen, who was a woman nearing thirty, the two waitresses were both female college students working part-time.
Both college students are art majors. Chen Lu even suspects that they are talents that Lin Miaomiao has been cultivating in advance, so that once the two girls graduate from college through part-time work here, they can be directly promoted to work at Polaris.
"Mom works so hard to earn money." Chen Yunqi said suddenly as he looked up at Liang Zhirou, who was painting at the front desk, halfway through his drawing.
Chen Lu: "..."
Son, I'm so glad you can say that.
But the tone you used when you said that really bothered Dad.
Putting aside the facts, don't you think I've had a hard time too?
"...Actually, Dad's work is also very tiring."
While he's constantly thinking about the company's operations, these two little guys can't see it.
Liang Zhirou understood that his head had been very tired, but this simpleton was now secretly mischievous and hadn't taken the initiative to explain to the child.
I don't know who she learned it from.
"Daddy, you've worked hard too," Chen Muxue said in her childish voice.
But this little girl didn't even look up when she spoke; she's already quite adept at handling things at such a young age.
"There's no need to fob me off like this."
Two unlucky kids.
His wife is still the best.
Chen Lu decided to sever ties with the two children a few minutes later and sat down next to Liang Zhirou to look at the financial statements.
Liang Zhirou's accounting major was definitely worthwhile; she can handle all sorts of messy things like bookkeeping and financial statements herself.
"Wow, this coffee shop is actually making money!"
Chen Lu stared at the computer for a while, then suddenly exclaimed in shock.
While it wasn't quite a windfall, it was still quite considerable.
Liang Zhirou puffed out her cheeks. "What are you saying... I work very hard, and by the end of next year I will be able to earn back all the money our family has invested."
Although she had guessed from the beginning that Chen Lu was only helping her to make her happy, it was still a little hurtful that he said it directly...
The girl muttered to herself, feeling wronged.
Chen Lu smiled slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a waiter in uniform walk past him.
The outfit is a black and white maid outfit, but the design is quite conservative. The short skirt on the lower half is not particularly exaggerated, only about knee-length, so it's at least wearable out.
He bet that Lin Miaomiao originally designed an extremely revealing style, and then Liang Zhirou, unwilling to make things difficult for her employees, forcibly changed it to the current style.
"Did you and Lin Miaomiao design this maid outfit yourselves? It's quite pretty."
Liang Zhirou nodded gently, "Yes, I just arrived today. Isn't it beautiful? I have a set of the same one too."
"Then how did you..."
Chen Lu swallowed the question, "Why aren't you wearing anything?"
Luckily, he wasn't wearing it. If anyone saw his wife wearing it, he would gouge their eyes out.
No, I have to tell Liang Zhirou not to wear these clothes in the store.
Seeing that he stopped mid-sentence, Liang Zhirou couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
She knew Chen Lu would react this way; if she wore a maid outfit in the store, Chen Lu would definitely be furious.
When it comes to being easily jealous and petty, they're always about the same.
The girl placed her hands on his shoulders, slowly leaned close to his ear, and whispered as if to tell him something:
"Don't worry, I'll only ever wear this for you..."
"How about we go home tonight?"
Liang Zhirou spoke as if coaxing a child, her words carrying a warm tone. Chen Lu froze, his heart skipping a beat.
By the time he realized what was happening, his lips were practically curled into a wide smile.
Trying to control your facial expressions in front of this goofy guy is an extremely difficult thing.
...
In the evening, Chen Lu dropped his wife and children off at home, waved goodbye, and went out again.
"I won't be home for dinner tonight."
Although he wanted to see Liang Zhirou in a maid outfit right now, he had a dinner party he had to attend that evening.
Because this was arranged by Li Sinian.
"It's been almost five years since we last saw each other, hasn't it? Don't you miss your dad!"
Before Chen Lu could even sit down, he saw Li Sinian raise an eyebrow at him.
The dog was much more lively than before, but Chen Lu couldn't be happy.
The more mature this guy is now, the more difficult his early days of eloping must have been.
"You really came back?"
He scrutinized Li Sinian for a while, probably because this guy always wore square-framed glasses when he was in college, making him look like a high school student, or rather, a total shut-in.
So this guy has changed the most among them; if you bumped into him on the street, you really wouldn't recognize him.
Although Li Sinian still has a buzz cut, he is not as thin as before. He has grown some beard on his chin and has changed to half-rimmed glasses, giving him a mature and composed look.
"You can't recognize your dad now that he's become handsome, can you?" Li Sinian said cheekily.
"Even if you turned to ashes, your father would still recognize you." Chen Lu spat at him. "Back then, you asked me for help and said you'd treat me to two seafood buffets. Now, almost eight years have passed, and you still haven't done it."
Seeing the BMW keys he had left on the table, Chen Lu didn't ask him how he was doing.
