Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 215: Crisis of the coffee shop, absorption of the cinema

Saturday.

The editor contacted Lin Yuan again.

However, this time it was not about arranging a recommendation, but about informing Lin Yuan that he was selected into the "Twelve Heavenly Kings" newly established this year by China Literature Group for his work "Lord of Mysteries".

The so-called "Twelve Heavenly Kings" are outstanding creators who have unique creative potential and whose works are highly sought after by readers, selected from a large number of creators.

With Lord of Mysteries' current average subscription of over 50,000, and as a fledgling newcomer in the online literature world, it is only natural for him to be selected as one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings this time.

When Lin Yuan saw the news, there was not much joy in his eyes.

He looked calm, with no ripples in his heart. He was just a plagiarist, and this honor belonged to him and not to him.

……

Bai Yifei seemed a little depressed during this period.

Because of his breakup with Qiu Yingying, he made things difficult for Qiu Yingying at work and also spread the word that she was fickle.

As a result, Qiu Yingying could no longer tolerate it, and in front of all her colleagues in the company, she reported Bai Yifei indignantly, exposing all his evil deeds of abusing his power for personal gain, retaliating, and being unfaithful.

After the company leaders learned of these circumstances, both of them were fired.

The company strictly prohibits office romances, and the breakup between the two was so ugly. One ignored the unspoken rules of the workplace, and the other engaged in corruption. It was natural that they were fired.

Although Bai Yifei is a department head, he does not have an accounting qualification and he got this position only by virtue of his seniority.

I searched for a long time on the recruitment website and finally found a job, but the salary and position were not as good as before.

But the current employment situation is grim and he has no choice.

Today, taking advantage of the weekend, he asked another girl out.

While the girl was not there yet, he saw a Luckin Coffee store on the street and walked in.

As the saying goes, when taking the bus to the bar, you should save where you can and spend where you can. Although he is stingy, he also understands that picking up girls requires spending some money.

At this time, the dog-licking economy had just begun to rise and had not yet become a complete trend. Most young girls were easily satisfied, and a cup of milk tea or a piece of cake could make them smile.

Ruixing coffee has become all the rage in Shanghai recently. You can see it everywhere in Shanghai, but no one has ever tasted it.

He waited in line for a while and finally it was his turn.

At this time, Qiu Yingying asked politely: "Hello, what would you like to drink?"

Bai Yifei looked up and glanced at the menu above the counter and said, "I want a latte and a hot Americano."

Qiu Yingying suddenly felt that the voice was extremely familiar. She looked carefully and found that it was indeed the scumbag Bai Yifei.

If she wasn't still working, she really wanted to rush up and scold the other person.

She suppressed her inner anger and squeezed out a sentence: "Okay."

At this time, Bai Yifei also recognized Qiu Yingying, with a surprised expression on his face, and sneered: "Oh, I didn't expect you to do this now. If you don't have real skills, you can only do this kind of low-level work."

Qiu Yingying kept in mind the principle of customer first, and did not want to give Bai Yifei the opportunity to make a fuss, so she could only continue to maintain a professional attitude: "Sir, the coffee you ordered will be prepared for you later, please wait a moment."

Bai Yifei crossed his arms and waited for a minute before he looked at his watch in a pretentious manner and said sarcastically, "Why aren't you done yet? Weren't you very quick when you hooked up with men before?"

The store manager noticed something was wrong and immediately walked over quickly.

"Sir, I'm the store manager here. We have a lot of orders today, so we're a little overwhelmed. And we at Ruixing always insist on making coffee on order to ensure the quality of every cup of coffee. Your coffee will be ready soon. Please wait a moment."

Bai Yifei pointed at Qiu Yingying and slandered the store manager: "This female employee in your store used to sleep with her boss and report false invoices when she was in the previous company. You have to be careful when you employ such people."

Qiu Yingying couldn't bear it anymore and retorted loudly: "I didn't!"

Bai Yifei refused to give in and pointed at Qiu Yingying's nose and said, "If you can't even greet customers with a smile, how can you be a waiter!"

Manager Qin also saw that this person had a grudge against Qiu Yingying. She looked serious and said in a gentle but firm tone: "Sir, please do not spread unfounded rumors in the store. This not only hurts the reputation of our employees, but also disrupts the order in the store. We will manage our employees, and please also remain civilized."

After saying that, the store manager walked over to Qiu Yingying and motioned for her to go aside and rest while he took over serving other customers.

"Hmph, my life will be like this." Bai Yifei was bored and found the nearest seat to sit down.

At this time, his cell phone rang. It was the girl he had made an appointment with, sending a message saying that she had arrived.

He quickly sent a voice message: "I'm at Ruixing Coffee on the first floor."

Not long after, the girl that Manager Bai had an appointment with appeared in the coffee shop.

While waiting for coffee, Bai Yifei said in annoyance, "I was in a hurry to go out, and I left the book "Accounting Practice" that I borrowed from you at home. When you go back tonight, please stop by my house and pick it up."

Hearing this, the girl frowned slightly, showing a hint of hesitation, but still agreed: "Okay."

He has the ACCA exam this month and time is tight for review. Bai Yifei said that the book he bought had more than a dozen pages missing, so he borrowed it from her for two days.

Usually in the company, Bai Yifei took good care of her, so she was too embarrassed to refuse Bai Yifei's request.

At this time, the double amount of coffee he ordered was finally ready.

He picked up one of the cups and handed it to the girl, who took the coffee and said thank you sweetly.

When Qiu Yingying saw this scene, her sense of justice was ignited again. She really couldn't bear to see another girl being deceived by Bai Yifei.

"Beauty!"

The girl stopped and looked at Qiu Yingying in confusion.

Qiu Yingying said very quickly: "Don't believe him, he is a scumbag! He often brings different girls back to his rental house! I am not talking nonsense, I just don't want you to be deceived. If you don't believe it, I have evidence here."

The girl's face showed an expression of confusion and surprise. She was a little at a loss for a moment and her eyes subconsciously turned to Bai Yifei.

Other people in the store also gave him strange looks and whispered among themselves.

Bai Yifei's face instantly turned purple, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and then he became angry and smashed the coffee cup in his hand directly at Qiu Yingying. The coffee splashed out and soaked Qiu Yingying all over.

Then, he left the coffee shop angrily.

The store was left in an uproar.

Qiu Yingying wiped the coffee that splashed on her face. Her legs felt weak and she tried hard to support herself from falling down.

The store manager quickly stepped forward to calm everyone in the store.

……

In the cinema, Lin Yuan and Guan Juer were watching a movie.

Soft light poured down from the screen.

Lin Yuan considerately covered Guan Juer's legs with his coat, and put his right hand under the coat to absorb the warmth of the human body.

At this time, Manager Qin called. "Boss, a customer just had an argument with Yingying and spilled all the coffee on her."

Manager Qin's voice, with a hint of anxiety, came clearly through the receiver.

"I understand." Lin Yuan's face turned serious.

Guan Juer was keenly aware of Lin Yuan's change in mood and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"Yingying had coffee poured on her in the store."

Guan Juer frowned slightly, her eyes full of worry, and suggested without hesitation: "Then let's go see her quickly."

Neither of them had any interest in watching the movie anymore, so they got up in a hurry and drove to the coffee shop.

When they arrived, the store had been tidied up and there were still customers drinking coffee leisurely, as if the conflict was just a trivial episode.

In the locker room.

The four of them gathered in the locker room. Qiu Yingying lowered her head and her shoulders trembled slightly. Guan Juer patted her back gently with heartache, trying to comfort her.

Manager Qin narrated the incident in a clear and organized manner, and Qiu Yingying added some details from time to time with tears in her voice.

Bai Yifei's sudden and extreme behavior really scared her.

After listening to the two people's stories, Lin Yuan was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "To be honest, you are indeed wrong in this matter. You shouldn't say it in public, and it might even bring negative impact to Ruixing."

Qiu Yingying's eyes instantly became redder, and her voice was filled with tears: "Boss, I'm sorry, I'm so stupid, I, I couldn't help it."

Seeing this, Guan Juer hurriedly comforted her, "Okay, Yingying, don't cry anymore."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly and continued, "I didn't say you were wrong. You were right to do this. As a girl, if you really said it in private, it would be more dangerous."

Guan Juer echoed: "Yingying, did you hear that? Brother Lin praised you for doing the right thing."

Lin Yuan looked at Qiu Yingying gently and said, "Okay, you are not in a good condition to continue working. Come back with us."

Guan Juer looked at Lin Yuan and asked softly, "Dear, are we just going to let this go?"

"Of course not." Lin Yuan said firmly, "Manager Qin, send me a copy of the store's surveillance footage."

"Okay, boss, it's all my fault for being negligent and not taking good care of Yingying."

Manager Qin's face was full of remorse. She was very observant and knew very well that the boss took good care of this little girl.

Lin Yuan said calmly: "Well, you have done a good job. I will submit your name to the Human Resources Department and promote you to the regional manager of this area."

"Thank you, boss."

Manager Qin was extremely happy, but also felt a little regretful. If he had reacted immediately and blocked the cup of coffee that was thrown at him, there would have been a chance for him to become the regional manager.

After Qiu Yingying changed back into her own clothes, Guan Juer took Qiu Yingying back to the back seat of the car.

Today they drove a Mercedes-Benz. Driving a Rolls-Royce would be too ostentatious, and the two didn't want to attract attention every time they went out to play.

inside the car.

Qiu Yingying was a little nervous and asked cautiously: "Boss, will this affect Ruixing's reputation?"

"meeting."

Qiu Yingying hesitated for a while before she stammered, "Then, will it be any use if I apologize?"

Lin Yuan's face was grim: "It's useless. Just be prepared to work for Ruixing for the rest of your life."

"Honey, don't scare Yingying, she will take it seriously." Guan Juer gently scolded.

Qiu Yingying widened her eyes, looking surprised: "Ah? Boss, are you scaring me?"

The three of them returned to Room 2202, and Fan Shengmei was admiring herself at home.

When Fan Shengmei saw the three people coming back, she was surprised and said, "Little Earthworm, aren't you going to work today? Why are you back so early?"

"Sister Fan, I'm in trouble." Qiu Yingying pouted, her face full of frustration.

Fan Shengmei felt distressed, and quickly stepped forward, stretched out her arms to hug Qiu Yingying, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"I just ran into the scumbag Bai in the store, he..."

Listening to Qiu Yingying's story, Guan Juer said to Lin Yuan: "I'll go call Sister Andy over, and we can work together to find a solution."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly and added: "You can also call Qu Xiaoxiao, she is good at some things."

Not long after, the five beauties gathered in Room 2202.

The relationship between them is somewhat subtle.

For example, Fan Shengmei and Qu Xiaoxiao dislike each other. Fan Shengmei thinks Qu Xiaoxiao is arrogant and domineering because of her family background, while Qu Xiaoxiao thinks Fan Shengmei is taking advantage of her beauty.

For example, Qiu Yingying wholeheartedly follows Fan Shengmei and also dislikes Qu Xiaoxiao, but Qu Xiaoxiao does not hate this girl at all.

Guan Juer and Fan Shengmei's relationship has not yet eased due to the quarrel a few days ago.

Andy and Guan Juer have the best relationship and work together on weekdays. Guan Juer often asks Andy for advice on work issues, and when it comes to Lin Yuan's time allocation, they will take each other's feelings into consideration and don't want to make things difficult for the other.

After Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao understood the whole story, Qu Xiaoxiao blinked and teased the aggrieved Qiu Yingying, "Xiao Qiu, I think you should be with me. I have a sales position in my company, but I have to sell my body occasionally."

Qiu Yingying immediately sneered and glared at Qu Xiaoxiao: "Bah, when did you become a brothel owner?"

The others couldn't help laughing.

Andy calmly analyzed: "Manager Bai poured coffee on Xiao Qiu in public, which not only hurt Xiao Qiu, but also disrupted public order. If Xiao Qiu wants to seek justice, we can seize this opportunity and ask him to apologize to Xiao Qiu."

Qu Xiaoxiao curled her lips in disdain: "I think I should just post all the evidence of Bai's previous affair online, and see if he dares to be so arrogant again."

Qiu Yingying shook her head: "I don't want him to apologize, as long as it doesn't affect the company and the next work."

Fan Shengmei smiled and said, "Don't worry, how could Lin Yuan not want you? He will definitely let you continue to work."

Andy frowned slightly and continued, "It's not that simple. After all, it was Xiao Qiu who made the accusation publicly. If this matter gets out, it will inevitably have some negative impact on Ruixing."

Guan Juer spoke up for Qiu Yingying: "But Yingying was not only slandered, but also had coffee thrown on her. She is the victim."

Andy patiently explained: "This is also a turning point. Generally speaking, people will feel more sorry for the weak, so even if this matter gets out, as long as we deal with it properly, it shouldn't have much negative impact."

At this point, Andy paused and looked at Lin Yuan.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Yuan, and the room suddenly became quiet, with everyone waiting for his response.

Lin Yuan twisted his chin lightly and nodded slightly: "What you said makes sense. I already have some ideas. Although this is a small crisis, if it is handled well, it can also make Ruixing's reputation rise to a higher level."
