Chapter 11: In Any Case, the Style Was Very Off (2/2)

The man walked up to the counter and looked down at Shen Cheng. After making eye contact with the man, Shen Cheng seemed to realize something, let out a slight chuckle, and calmly asked, “Sir, would you like to order some coffee?”

“Look, look, look!” The chubby Zhou Dongliang hadn’t turned off the live stream yet. He directed the camera towards Shen Cheng and the man in front of him and whispered, “Faced with such a fierce man, our Manager Shen isn’t flustered at all. Could it be that this young boss is a hidden expert who can single-handedly suppress the underworld?”

Meanwhile, a female customer was captivated by Shen Cheng’s calm demeanor, exclaiming, “Ah! Manager Shen looks so handsome like this!”

“Manager, go on, beat him!”

Shen Cheng’s mouth twitched slightly. Why did they think his combat skills were so impressive? In reality, he sometimes couldn’t even fight off a cat!

Especially that annoying fat guy, could he stop misleading people with his antics? Sooner or later, he would be the death of him!

“Here, as long as you place an order, you can pet the cats?” The man’s voice was frightfully hoarse, and upon hearing it, the people around felt as if they had been slashed by a knife.

At this moment, the man was rubbing his bald head with his hand, seemingly puzzled as to why these customers wanted this young boss, who looked like a skinny monkey, to defeat him.

Did the customers have a grudge against the boss here?

Shen Cheng nodded, calmly picking up a cup and starting to wipe it, “Would you like to place an order?”

The man seemed somewhat surprised by Shen Cheng’s calmness. He glanced at the menu and silently raised a finger.

“What… what does that mean?”

“Is it… ten thousand?”

“It must be! Manager Shen is only on his second day of operation, we should call the police!”

“A cup of blended coffee.” The man’s hoarse voice caused the Cat Café to fall silent, and for a moment, you could hear a pin drop.

“Nya~” A cute cat’s meow broke the silence inside the shop.

A British Shorthair cat, seemingly fearless, ran to the man’s feet, sweetly meowed, rubbed against the man’s pant leg, and finally sat there, staring at him with adorable big eyes.

Afterward… the man’s face suddenly broke into a broad smile like a blooming sunflower, frightening the people in the shop with goosebumps.

Please, mister, keep a straight face! You’re even scarier when you smile!

The man picked up the British Shorthair and asked Shen Cheng, “Boss, can I pet the cat now?”

This boss address led everyone to involuntarily imagine a scene where an underworld boss was asking his sharply dressed superior, “Boss, should I take care of him?”

In any case, the scene was very off!

“Find a place to sit; I’ll bring your coffee over when it’s ready.” Shen Cheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, forcing himself to remain calm.

The man nodded and walked toward the sofa by the window, and everyone instinctively made room for him.

The sleazy Zhou Dongliang truly had a flair of a war correspondent; he eagerly moved toward the man, pointing the camera at the man’s fierce face. Instantly, not a single comment appeared on the live stream.

“You, mister, are you a gangster?” Zhou Dongliang asked.

The man, who was petting the Blue Cat, scratched his shiny scalp upon hearing this, and with a puzzled face, replied, “I used to be. I quit after marrying my wife. Why do you ask? Is there a taboo on petting cats for gangster?”

Everyone: “…”

So you really used to be!

Either due to the low footfall at that time or the fierce man’s presence, there were no new customers, and orders had slowed down, making Cat Café unusually quiet.

It seemed Lin Yuhui noticed Shen Cheng’s intention to teach the two cats how to bake a cake, and he offered to handle the remaining work himself, taking on all the extra missions.

Seeing that the remaining work was indeed not difficult, Shen Cheng didn’t fuss and took the two Cat Girls into the kitchen.

At that moment, Sugar was holding a cake mold in her paws, and Cheese was holding white sugar in hers. The two cats sat upright like obedient schoolchildren, looking at Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng adjusted his apron, his expression suddenly serious: “Come on, let me see your cake-making talents!”
