Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xiao Luo and Li Zing sat at the guest bench in front of the store entrance and drank their hot tea.
After serving the custors, Sun Jiannan walked over enthusiastically and asked with a courteous smile: “President Xiao, do you have any constructive advice for our work?”
If he maintained a suspicious attitude towards Xiao Luo before, he now trusts Xiao Luo’s leadership 100%. If Xiao Luo didn’t have the skills, the Luo Workshop wouldn’t have been able to get back on its feet in such a short ti; even the old President of the Taste Buds, Fang Changlei, lost to Xiao Luo. The young man’s ability made him feel as if Xiao Luo was like a god standing above mankind.
“I only have one advice.”
Xiao Luo smiled and turned his head to look at Li ZIng beside him, “it’s also a request for the storefront owner.”
Li Zing quickly pulled out so paper and a pen to carefully record Xiao Luo’s next words so that she can bring it up to all storefronts.
“The owner needs to learn how to manage the store with 5S theory.” Xiao Luo said.
5S theory?
Sun Jiannan looked at him dumbfounded, and Li Zing also expressed confusion.
Xiao Luo chuckled and said: “5S is organization, regulation, cleaning, sanitization and quality control. Organization ans to clearly organize pastries based on their shelf life, and anything that is about to expire must not be placed on the product rack and disposed of as soon as possible. Regulation ans to always keep everything in the store neatly, properly labeled with na and stock. You must also be able to make three confirmations: naming every item, maintain an inventory, and place the items properly. Cleaning ans to clean the store of all dirt and dust, preventing any contamination…”
As Xiao Luo was giving his lecture to Sun Jiannan and Li Zing on the 5S theory, two other girls entered the store to shop for pastries.
They were dressed fashionably with a good figure; one of them had slightly curled hair and looked quite energetic. The other didn’t look too well and had a pale face, but her sweet appearance was enough to make many young n swoon.
“ngqi, your surgery wound hasn’t healed yet. The Doctor said you need to be extra careful.” The girl with slight curls reminded the other girl.
It was Ma Linger and Zhao ngqi!
Zhao ngqi shook her head: “Don’t worry, I gained so appetite the mont I slled fresh bread from the oven. Let’s go check out inside.”
Ma Linger pressed her lips down: “Even if you have an appetite you can’t eat them, you can only have so light porridge right now.”
“If I can’t eat then I’ll just go inside for the sll, I’ll be happy to just sll fresh bread.” Zhao ngqi laughed.
“I…alright, I guess I can’t help it.”
Ma Linger made a concession, “But you can only sll it!”
“Okay….”
Zhao ngqi nodded.
The two walked inside the store and was imdiately greeted by a scene of full unique bread and pastries; soft French bread, small roll cakes, shredded bread, pudding, swiss rolls, etc… Everything in the store brings up an appetite and even made Ma Linger, who wasn’t hungry earlier, swallow her own saliva.
“Look at you drool over them, if you want so then just buy it!” Zhao ngqi gave her a glance.
Ma Linger waved her hand and said sternly: “I can’t, in order to maintain my body right now I refuse to eat high-calorie foods like these.”
“I used to eat these all the ti, and I didn’t gain weight.” Zhao ngqi said.
The beam on her face imdiately dimd down after she finished. Even though she ate bread a lot in the past, it was because Xiao Luo bought them for her. She could clearly rember one ti where she visited a Luo Workshop bakery with Xiao Luo only to find herself with only a few Yuans on hand and could only split a large shredded bread together.
That was indeed a wonderful and fun ti!
However, she destroyed the wonderful past with her own hands…
Her nose felt itchy and her eyes grew a little red at the thought.
“ngqi, what happened?” Ma Linger asked in concern.
Zhao ngqi took in a deep breath and forced a smile on her face: “No…it’s nothing. By the way, Linger, where did the $100,000 for my treatnt co from?”
She vaguely recalled seeing Xiao Luo when she was half-asleep on her bed in the hospital, and only now rembered to confirm her suspicion with Ma Linger.
“Didn’t I already tell you? I got it from my family.” Ma Linger’s gaze dodged away with a bit of guilt from lying.
“Oh.”
Zhao ngqi lowered her head in slight disappointnt and then said, “I’ll pay you back the money I owe eventually.”
“Don’t worry about it, my family isn’t in need of money…”
Ma Linger’s voice slowly disappeared as she spoke out of lack of confidence. How could she just let $100,000 go without asking soone to pay back and felt that she will not be able to hide the fire with paper for long anymore? She pondered whether to lay it all out to Zhao ngqi, but after so thought, she decided to test Zhao ngqi’s thoughts first and quickly changed the subject.
“We can figure out the money issue after you recover. As your sister, I really must scold you here. Why did you choose that Hua Haifeng as your boyfriend? Those rich second generations have no skills and only a rich father. Look at him, he hasn’t even co over to see you since you were hospitalized, such a scum. Oh, no, even calling him a scum is too generous, he’s just a rock under a pit that’s slly and hard.”
Zhao ngqi’s face lifted a difficult smile: “Linger, don’t ntion him. Now that it happened, I won’t bla anyone else besides myself for being foolish enough to buy into temptation.”
“Don’t say that, very few girls can withhold temptation in front of money. Take myself for example, if a rich boy tries to throw a few hundred thousand dollars at , I might also just walk away with him without hesitation.”
Ma Linger skillfully turned the topic and changed the subject to Xiao Luo, “Alright, enough of that, let’s talk about soone else. ngqi, who is that Xiao Luo person you were mumbling half-asleep while in the hospital?”
Zhao ngqi was shocked and laughed at her difficulty in her mind: Did I call his na while I was unconscious?
“He was my ex-boyfriend and my first love. For both of us, it was our first ti falling in love with no experiences before. We made a fool of ourselves, suffered, were a ss, and threw lots of attitudes before. But now that I recall everything, it was filled with sweetness.”
She smiled sweetly. Whenever she thinks of Xiao Luo, Zhao ngqi would feel happy.
An old scenery surfaced in her mind. She didn’t bring an umbrella and could only stand behind a bus stop to wait for the rain to pass. Her monthly was here and it was so painful she couldn’t even walk properly, so Xiao Luo carried her all the way back to her dorm without hesitation. She couldn’t rember why, but the two got into a fight under the tree and ended up walking away in anger…
“Do you still love him?” Ma Linger asked.
Zhao ngqi’s body trembled a bit, all the mories in her mind will forever remain mories. She laughed in mock and shook her head: “I don’t deserve to love him anymore.”
“Don’t say it like that, maybe you two can still get back together.”
Ma Linger grabbed her hands and said eagerly: “Go find him, maybe he still loves you!”
“No!”
Zhao ngqi suddenly yelled out uncontrollably and took a step back. As she saw her friend stood there dumbly, her expression began to grow apologetic, “Sorry, I…” She closed her eyes and said painfully, “I was the one that left him in the first place. I didn’t like that he was always just a part-tir, I have no more face to go find him again anymore.”
