Chapter 43: The Rich Lady

The next day, when Ruan Yu arrived at Time Imprint, there were two baristas and two service staff at the door.

The baristas were two middle-aged men, one was tall and thin, the other was a little short and chubby. The two service staff were two pretty and polite young girls.

These four were all found by Gu Yan Zhi. The two baristas had twenty years of experience, they were originally in a foreign country, but Gu Yan Zhi lured them back with generous benefits. They were very experienced.

The two young girls, the service staff, stood straight, with polite and appropriate smiles on their faces when they saw Ruan Yu. They had also been rigorously trained.

“Good morning, Boss.” The four of them said in unison.

Ruan Yu was embarrassed. Although she often called herself the boss, she was a little embarrassed to be called that. “Hello, just call me Ruan Yu.”

Then the four of them introduced themselves. After everyone got to know each other, they started their official work, each doing their own thing.

The number of customers on the second day of opening was three times that of the first day.

The tall and thin barista’s surname was Zhang, so Ruan Yu called him Zhang Ge. The chubby one’s surname was Yu, so she called him Yu Ge.

The two service staff, one was called Lan Yu Rou, the other was called Ji Sheng.

Lan Yu Rou was taller, with long hair, long legs, she was the standard height of a model, her appearance had a touch of charm and allure.

Ji Sheng was half a head shorter than Lan Yu Rou, she had a baby face, and her smile was a little cute, she was the kind of cute and sweet girl.

Both of them were young, they were girls who had just graduated from university and entered society. They both called Ruan Yu “Jie” in the shop.

Everyone did their own thing. Ruan Yu sat on the sofa in the rest area and checked yesterday’s accounts. After deducting the principal, the profit was a little over ten thousand yuan.

Mu Luoxi hadn’t come to the shop yet. Ruan Yu took a picture of the account and sent it to her, sharing her joy with her. Then she transferred her share to her through a bank transfer.

A total of 3,600 yuan.

Mu Luoxi, who had just arrived at the door of Time Imprint, heard the sound of receiving money and picked up her phone. She looked at the account.

3,600 yuan!

Just one day’s profit, it was more than half a month’s salary for her. It was the first day, and there were very few customers. What if it was Saturday or Sunday, wouldn’t she be rich?

She went inside and ran to the rest area, looking at Ruan Yu on the sofa, she hugged her tightly and shook her, “A-Yu, I have to thank you. You’ve brought me one step closer to becoming a rich woman. You’re my lucky star.”

After saying that, she released Ruan Yu and jumped up and down happily.

Ruan Yu smiled at her, “It will get better and better. When you become a rich woman, you can support me.”

“Why would I need to do that?” Mu Luoxi lifted Ruan Yu’s chin, “Little beauty, if your Mr. Gu agrees, it’s not impossible.”

“Mr. Mu, it’s not good to be a scoundrel in broad daylight.” Ruan Yu was amused by Mu Luoxi, she instantly got into character and played along.

Ruan Yu saw the dark circles under Mu Luoxi’s eyes, “Did you go steal manhole covers last night? You have two panda eyes.”

Speaking of which, Mu Luoxi suddenly became listless. She threw her phone on the sofa, “Insomnia.”

Ruan Yu remembered that she had given Lu Jingzhou Mu Luoxi’s contact information last night. Could it be because of that?

“Because of Jingzhou Ge?”

Mu Luoxi didn’t say anything, which was a tacit admission.

Ruan Yu looked at her with a hint of apology, “I’m sorry, I gave Jingzhou Ge your contact information without your permission.”

Ruan Yu just wanted to have a friend verification. If Mu Luoxi didn’t want to, she could just ignore it or reject it. She hadn’t thought that much about it at the time.

“It’s not because of you.” Mu Luoxi said helplessly, “It’s because of me.”

She forced a wry smile.

Ruan Yu pulled her up from the sofa and introduced her to the staff.

“It’s your first day of work, I’ll treat you all to dinner tonight.” Mu Luoxi said generously.

After all, she had been saving money for a long time, it was rare for her to be generous.

Ruan Yu had the same idea, but Mu Luoxi brought it up first.

“A-Yu, should we invite our big shareholder?” Mu Luoxi’s big shareholder was Gu Yan Zhi, after all, he was the one who paid for the renovation of the shop.

She had been very afraid of Gu Yan Zhi, but since last night, she felt that he wasn’t as scary as the rumors said. They were afraid because they didn’t know him. Besides, he was a human being with blood and flesh, how could he be the cold-blooded and ruthless person they said he was? Although she had thought so at first.

“I’ll ask him.” Ruan Yu said.

Ji Sheng asked in disbelief, “You have a big shareholder?”

“Yeah.” Mu Luoxi explained to Ji Sheng, “The big shareholder is your Ruan Yu Jie’s husband. I’m just the smallest, smallest boss of this shop.”

Ji Sheng nodded, a little understanding.

Ruan Yu took her phone and went to the rest area to send a WeChat message to Gu Yan Zhi. Mu Luoxi and Ji Sheng hit it off, and she took her aside to chat for a while when there were no customers.

Only then did she realize that the watch on Ji Sheng’s wrist was very expensive, so expensive that she might have to struggle for half her life to afford it. “Ji Sheng, did you just graduate from university?”

Ji Sheng nodded, “Yeah.”

“Then why are you working as a waitress?” This job was thankless, the pay wasn’t high, she didn’t understand. How could someone who could afford such an expensive watch be so crazy as to work as a waitress in a coffee shop?

It was really frustrating to deal with difficult customers.

“I like it.” Ji Sheng felt that if she kept talking, she would be exposed, “Luoxi Jie, I’ll go get busy first.”

Ji Sheng was the daughter of the Ji family in the neighboring city of Yun. She had just graduated from university. Her family wanted her to marry the son of the Nan family, who was a good match for her. She had grown up with the son of the Nan family, and they would fight whenever they met. She didn’t want to marry him, so she ran away from home.

Her father, in a fit of anger, cut off her allowance and froze her bank account, thinking that she would naturally come back when she ran out of money.

But Ji Sheng really didn’t want to marry her nemesis. She felt that if she married him, her future life would be hell. But she was out of money and didn’t want to go home, so she had to find a job.

She found this job through an online recruitment ad.

At lunchtime, Ruan Yu would go to the office to have lunch with Gu Yan Zhi. As she was walking to the door, Ji Sheng stopped her, “Ruan Yu Jie, can you… advance me a month’s salary? I’m having some trouble and need some money.”

Ji Sheng was a little embarrassed. Ruan Yu thought that the young girl must have a lot of difficulties after just graduating, so she didn’t hesitate and directly transferred two months’ salary to her, “Tell me if you have any trouble, go eat.”

Ji Sheng looked at Ruan Yu gratefully, “Thank you, Ruan Yu Jie, I’ll definitely work hard.”

Ji Sheng looked at the money on her phone, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She wouldn’t have to go hungry or sleep on the streets anymore.

She would just keep this up with her father, see who could outlast who. She had a temper too.
