Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 380 - 378: Is This the Difference Between People?
"When can we sign the contract?" Xue Yang asked.
"We can sign right now, immediately," Zheng Hua said, taking a document from his bag and placing it on the table.
"Then let’s sign now."
Zheng Hua had come prepared for the transfer. After receiving the call, he had brought all the necessary documents. The other party just needed to sign and then hand the documents over to the agent.
Lin Xi signed her name on the contract.
Zheng Hua leaned in for a look and praised, "Lin Xi... a beautiful name, just like you."
"Thank you. You have a way with words. If you took the initiative to meet girls, you’d definitely find a girlfriend quickly."
"You’re right. I’ll go meet someone right now. Farewell. Perhaps our paths will cross again."
Zheng Hua waved to Xue Yang and Lin Xi, his hand instinctively moving to touch his balding forehead.
"Actually," Lin Xi said gently, "you’d make a better impression if you didn’t do that."
"Oh? Really? Anything else?"
Xue Yang shifted back slightly. "Don’t stand so close when you talk to people."
Zheng Hua chuckled, sat back in his seat to keep a safe distance from Xue Yang, and asked, "What else?"
"Your hairstyle... perhaps there’s a way to make it grow back," Xue Yang said, pointing at his hair.
"Is my hairstyle not good?"
"It’s not that it’s bad, but I don’t think girls are into that style."
"I knew it! I’m so handsome, how could any girl not like me? It turns out the problem was my hair all along. I get it. Xue Yang, thank you. I’m off! Song Fan, I’ll transfer your salary to your account and add a month’s pay as compensation. As for the future... I wish you the best in finding a good job."
After that, Zheng Hua quickly left the milk tea shop, off to enjoy his newfound freedom.
"Boss..."
Seeing her boss leave without a second thought, Song Fan felt like crying.
"Boo hoo... where am I supposed to find a job now?"
She had no skills, no education, and she was in an unfamiliar city. Finding a job was the most difficult thing for her.
"You don’t have to look for one."
Song Fan’s eyes lit up. That’s right! Xue Yang took over the shop, so he’ll definitely need someone. Whether he continues selling milk tea or not, he has to open for business. They’re students, so they can’t possibly mind the shop themselves all the time. That means they’ll need to hire someone. And I’m the perfect person for the job!
"Boss, do you need an employee? I’m a hard worker and can do the work of several people. Hire me, I’m very useful!"
Song Fan looked at Xue Yang with an expectant gaze.
"First, make us two milk teas."
"Right away!"
Those were probably the most meticulously crafted milk teas Song Fan had made since she started working there.
Ten minutes later, two large milk teas were placed in front of Xue Yang and Lin Xi.
"Boss, Boss-lady, please enjoy." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Xue Yang inserted the straw into Lin Xi’s cup and placed it in front of her. Then he took his own cup, did the same, and took a sip.
"Not bad. It’s even smoother than last time."
"It’s my own improved recipe. I was planning to launch it this summer, but then the milk tea shop next door opened, and our customer base dwindled. The former boss asked me to postpone it, and it still hasn’t been launched."
"What’s it called?"
"I call it Creamy Taro Boba Tea. It’s a nice name, right?"
Lin Xi took a big sip. "It’s a great name, and it tastes delicious! Song Fan, you’re amazing!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Boss-lady. But being amazing doesn’t help. The milk tea never even got to debut, and now the shop has been sold."
"Who said it won’t get its debut?"
"Boss, are you saying..."
"With the ingredients you have now, how many cups of milk tea can you make today?"
"Because we’ve had so few customers, I don’t have many ingredients prepared. I can probably make a little over 200 cups of various flavors, just under 300 in total."
"That’s enough. Your task today is to use all the ingredients in the shop to make milk tea. I’ll have someone pick them up later."
"Huh? All of them? Boss, what do you need so much milk tea for?"
"Don’t pry into your boss’s business."
Startled, Song Fan quickly lowered her head. "Sorry, Boss, I didn’t mean to ask. I won’t be nosy again."
"Don’t be so tense, I’m just kidding. Our company is having a team-building event today and needs milk tea."
So that’s how it is. The boss’s company is having a team-building event and needs milk tea for every employee. So he just... buys an entire milk tea shop for his girlfriend? Not only are the drinks for his staff covered, but he also scores major points with his girlfriend. Unbelievable. Is this the gap between people? No wonder I’m still stuck working in a milk tea shop. Just a few months ago, the boss could only afford buy-one-get-one-free deals, and now he has a company with over two hundred people.
"The boss is amazing."
Hearing her say this, Xue Yang knew she had figured out the implications.
"Why are you touching my hair?" Lin Xi asked, running her fingers through his hair.
"I was just wondering if you’ll also end up with a shiny, bald head like the milk tea shop owner."
"Even if I go bald, I’ll still be a handsome guy."
Lin Xi raised her eyebrows, her expression noncommittal.
"Won’t I?"
"Yes, yes, my boyfriend is the most handsome. No matter what he looks like, he’ll always be the most handsome."
"That’s more like it."
Xue Yang led Lin Xi to the parking lot, and they both got in the car.
"Xiao Ya sent me the address for the barbecue. Let’s head over now."
"Okay."
Xue Yang texted Wu Xiaoya, telling her to arrange for someone to pick up the milk tea from the shop in two hours. Then he started the engine and drove toward the Open-Air Barbecue Field.
"Everyone, hurry and get the ingredients ready! The boss said that in two hours, we’re to go to the Gu Ming Milk Tea shop near the school to pick up drinks. Everyone gets one!"
"It’s all thanks to the boss-lady’s pull. The studio has been around for so long, and this is the first time the boss has treated us to milk tea."
"The boss said the milk tea shop belongs to the boss-lady, which means the drinks are from her, not him."
"Either way, if we stick with the boss-lady, we’ll be well-fed. From now on, we need to latch onto her coattails!"
「Back at the milk tea shop」
After receiving today’s first big order, Song Fan put up the "Closed" sign and locked the door.
"This is the new shop’s first big order. I can’t mess it up."
Once her preparations were complete, Song Fan immersed herself in the task of making milk tea.
Cai Keke, Cen Xue, and Duan Yuehong had arranged to meet at the Gu Ming Milk Tea shop.
But when they arrived, they saw that the shop they frequented was closed.
"Hey, why is the shop closed?"
"Yeah, I swear I saw it open this morning," Cen Xue said, puzzled.
"So, what should we do? Do we still want milk tea? We could check another place."
"But the milk tea from other shops just isn’t as good as this one’s."
