Chapter 19: 019 Are they already this familiar with each other_1
“Charge my card with five hundred,” Lu Han turned to Wu Jie and said.
Wu Jie was the best at making coffee in the shop, and he was also eager to learn and advance, continuously studying new flavors.
There were several coffee shops on Culture Street, but Tang Su’s was the busiest. It wasn’t just the coffee that was delicious; the four employees she hired were also very pleasing to the eye, with the won being pretty and the n handso.
People are drawn to beauty, and with both the coffee and the staff being attractive, young custors naturally flocked there.
Moreover, Wu Jie was responsible and diligent, not only concerning himself with the flavors of the coffee but also devising ways to maintain old custors for Tang Su, conduct market research, and attract new clientele.
Speaking of which, Wu Jie was also the coffee ntor for Tang Su and Sun Qing. The two of them took advantage of their spare ti to enroll in a coffee-making training course, where Wu Jie was the trainer.
Tang Su was extrely keen on opening a coffee shop. Sun Qing suggested that she didn’t have to make the coffee herself and could hire a barista. If Tang Su could persuade Wu Jie to work as a barista in her shop, it was bound to survive.
Sun Qing’s idea was excellent, and Tang Su prepared a smooth-talking pitch and various persuasive tactics. However, none of that proved necessary as Wu Jie agreed as soon as she broached the subject.
At that mont, Tang Su was dumbfounded, but because Wu Jie agreed, Tang Su’s coffee shop opened a month earlier than the bookstore.
Later, Sun Qing gave Tang Su another wake-up call.
She advised her to learn from Wu Jie whenever she had ti. The coffee shop was hers, and she couldn’t rely entirely on Wu Jie; otherwise, it would be easy to be taken advantage of. What if soone wanted a raise at will, wouldn’t that be easy to achieve?
If Tang Su refused to agree to a raise, they could easily threaten to resign.
Tang Su didn’t want to be cynical, but she couldn’t deny that Sun Qing’s considerations for her were very far-sighted.
Her parents often said, “Without long-term concerns, there will be imdiate worries.”
Tang Su took her coffee training with Wu Jie very seriously, and he taught her everything he knew.
He even refused to accept any tuition, so Tang Su, feeling awkward about it, decided to treat the tuition as a bonus and gave it to him.
“Ade, take care of the paynt,” Wu Jie, who also had a cold deanor, had only been responsible for making coffee since day one at the coffee shop. Register duties were rotated among the other three. After calling for Ade, Wu Jie looked at Lu Han and asked coldly, “What coffee will you have?”
“I’ll have the signature, thanks,” Lu Han respectfully replied to Wu Jie.
“The signature is sold out, pick another one,” Wu Jie’s hostility towards Lu Han was so evident that everyone present could feel it.
Tang Su frowned, Ye Sichen had also ordered the signature just before, hadn’t he?
How could it be available for Ye Sichen, but not for Lu Han?
What was Wu Jie’s problem?
Couldn’t he see that she, the boss, was treating Lu Han with great enthusiasm?
He was an employee she had paid a substantial salary to hire; couldn’t he just learn to be as courteous as his boss?
She wasn’t expecting him to fake smiles at Lu Han, just plain good manners would suffice, right?
Seeing an awkward situation about to unfold, Ade quickly stepped in to smooth things over, “Sir, your card has been charged. Our coffee house’s other flavors are also delicious besides the signature. If you prefer sothing not too sweet, you might want to try the black coffee.”
“Okay, I’ll take your advice and have the black coffee,” Lu Han was amiable.
“Black coffee is quite bitter,” Tang Su intervened, trying to stop him.
After all, Lu Han was a man who liked crispy sugar candy. Those who like sweets probably wouldn’t enjoy the bitterness of black coffee, right?
Just like her, even though the black coffee Wu Jie made wasn’t very bitter, she just never liked it.
“Isn’t this place called ‘Joy In Bitterness’? I would like to give it a try, it’s fine,” Lu Han insisted on ordering black coffee.
“Ajie, a dium black coffee,” Ade said to Wu Jie.
“Heard it, my ears aren’t deaf,” Wu Jie responded as if he was having a hormonal imbalance.
Even Ade, who was usually slow to catch on, could sense Wu Jie’s animosity towards Lu Han.
I an, here was a man who objectively patronized their business, what had he done to deserve this?
“Doctor Lu happens to be an ENT doctor. If you really do beco deaf, you could visit Huanan Hospital’s ENT departnt and see Doctor Lu, who’s also an expert,”
Tang Su said to Wu Jie’s back, her protective stance quite apparent.
Upon hearing this, Wu Jie stiffened for a mont. Were the two of them that familiar with each other?
