Chapter 22: Your Cat Café Must Only Hire Beautiful Girls (2/2)

Of course, it could have been that the role of a househusband had smoothed his edges…

“Uh?” Hearing this, Xiang Long scratched his shiny scalp and said, “Boss, I’m afraid my fierce look might affect your business, so I just covered it up a bit.”

Shen Cheng supported his forehead with a hand, “You realize you look fierce, but do you understand that wearing sunglasses makes you look at least ten times more intimidating? Didn’t you notice those young girls outside who looked like they wanted to come in but were too scared?”

Xiang Long was stunned, turned to look, and indeed saw a few young girls standing hesitantly in the rain outside the door, repeatedly reaching for the door handle and then pulling back.

At that moment, Xiang Long, as if struck by lightning, turned around and slammed his left hand on the counter while somehow pulling out a knife, shouting, “I’ll cut off a finger to apologize!”

“What kind of old-school gangster are you?!” Shen Cheng jumped in shock and frantically held Xiang Long back, “Don’t get blood on my counter, you idiot!”

…

“Phew, this is much better.” A few minutes later, looking at the completely changed Xiang Long, Shen Cheng nodded in satisfaction.

At this point, Xiang Long had replaced his sunglasses with thick, black-framed rectangle glasses, which made him look exceptionally nerdy once they were on his face.

These glasses were ones that Shen Cheng had worn long ago, with the lenses removed by Shen Cheng.

When Xiang Long put them on, he instantly went from looking like a gangster boss to having the demeanor of a programmer uncle, especially with that shiny bald head, clearly a senior programmer.

If not for the scar on his face that made him look fiercely intimidating, no one would associate him with the mafia.

“Boss, no matter what, I’ll protect what you give me with my life!” Xiang Long said seriously to Shen Cheng, who twitched his mouth and dared not respond.

The newly transformed Xiang Long quickly mingled with the crowd, discussing cat care techniques with a few elderly ladies.

By noon, Lin Yuhui came in holding an umbrella, with a trace of lingering fatigue on her face. Seeing this, Shen Cheng teased, “Why don’t you take a bath and sleep for a bit?”

Lin Yuhui glanced at Shen Cheng and remembered something, her face turning red as she awkwardly changed the topic, “Uh… senior, did the new pastry chef start work yet?”

Thinking about the previous night, Lin Yuhui felt incredibly embarrassed… and annoyed.

Last night, just as Lin Yuhui thought she had finally moved this wooden block, Cheese came out!

Cheese had just been sleepily going to the bathroom, so Lin Yuhui naturally didn’t blame Cheese, but the thought of being so close and failing filled her with frustration.

“Yeah, Wen Yuanyuan is in the kitchen right now. Want to go say hi to her?” Thinking of Wen Yuanyuan happily working, Shen Cheng couldn’t help but smile.

“Yeah!” Lin Yuhui seemed very interested in Wen Yuanyuan and cheerfully headed into the kitchen.

After that, the other two cat girls also frequently ran into the kitchen. Curious, Shen Cheng tried to peek inside but was stopped every time.

Helplessly, Shen Cheng could only grind coffee at the counter or stare blankly at the drizzle outside.

“She… must have found somewhere to take shelter from the rain, right?” The thought of the ragdoll cat girl surfaced in his mind again. Shaking his head to clear it, Shen Cheng busied himself with his phone.

“The rain will get heavier at night… Huh? There will be a power outage in the west district? Oh…” Shen Cheng frowned at the notice from the management.

Still worried…
