Why did the system take my request to take photos with a cosplayer seriously?

"Okay, wait a minute."

Su Wan turned around and began to prepare, her movements swift and decisive.

Baima muttered quietly from the side, "Brother, why didn't you ask me what I wanted to drink?"

"Don't you say you can drink anything?"

"That's still not allowed..."

"Ok?"

Ding Heng glanced at her, and Bai Ma swallowed the rest of her sentence.

Su Wan quickly served the milk tea, and Bai Ma took a sip; the sweetness was just right.

Ding Heng sat down in a corner, and Bai Ma followed and sat down next to him.

"Brother."

"Ah."

"You said you'd reward me, and this is what you come here for?"

"Not satisfied?"

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied..."

Baima put down her milk tea cup and said resentfully, "I just feel that you are too biased towards Sister-in-law Yanxi."

How am I being biased?

"You're still pretending."

Bai Ma pouted: "Coffee shops, luxury cars, she can do whatever she wants. Look at me, I have to sign an unequal treaty with you even though I drive a Porsche."

Ding Heng joked, "Your mom doesn't care about your money, so if you want to buy it yourself, just do it."

"That's different..."

Baima has recently started to regret her decision.

Since her mother loosened her financial restrictions, Ding Heng has clearly stopped "spoiling" her as much, or rather, he can no longer find an excuse to "spoiling" her!

Su Wan brought over another snack and placed it on the table.

"Mr. Ding, this is a new recipe that the boss's wife and I developed yesterday. Could you please try it and give us some feedback so we can make improvements?"

She emphasized that she and Zhao Yanxi developed it together.

It's clear that Zhao Yanxi trusts her a lot, and even seems to be grooming her to be the store manager.

"Okay, put it here."

Su Wan nodded, turned around and went back to continue her work.

Baima picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.

"Hmm...it's alright."

"Don't eat too much, or you'll gain weight!"

"Oh……."

Baima has recently started losing weight.

According to Ding Heng, being a little chubby is fine, but if you get too chubby, it's not fun at all!

In order to make her brother feel good, Baima made up her mind to maintain her weight and take good care of her skin.

Bai Mahu then asked, "Brother, what kind of person do you think Wen Shu's boyfriend is?"

Ding Heng put down his cup: "Are you very concerned about whether she has a boyfriend?"

"Of course I care!"

Baima sat up straight, her expression serious: "She's a year younger than me. What if she gets a boyfriend first? How embarrassing would that be for me?"

Ding Heng's eyes changed slightly, but his tone revealed neither joy nor anger.

"What do you mean? You want to find a boyfriend too?"

Bai Ma met Ding Heng's gaze and her heart tightened.

She had seen that look before; it was a prelude to when she displeased Ding Heng, and then she would be dealt with terribly!

She quickly shook her head, raising her voice by half an octave: "No! I was just... saying it casually!"

Seeing that Ding Heng didn't speak, she added another sentence in a soft tone.

"I'll only play with you, brother... but..."

"But what?"

Baima lowered her head and poked her index fingers together.

"It's just... I don't want Wenshu to grow up while I'm still a little cook."

Ding Heng was silent for two seconds, then suddenly chuckled.

"It's ok."

He reached out and pinched the tip of Baima's nose, gently shaking it.

"It's only fun with a little female cook."

Chapter 307: Help from Long He

While teasing Baima, Ding Heng kept his eyes glued to the three people behind the bar.

Su Wan works quickly and meticulously. After making each cup of coffee, she will wipe the countertop, not even letting go of the milk stains that have dripped onto the corners.

No wonder Zhao Yanxi trusts and likes her; a promotion and a raise are only a matter of time.

As for the boy named Xiao Chao, he was always distracted. He was putting fresh milk into the refrigerator, but halfway through, he took out his phone to glance at it. When Su Wan noticed, he immediately put it away guiltily.

Finally, there was a girl named Xiaoli. She seemed quite busy, but she always managed to steal a moment of leisure. Often, she would only move an inch when Su Wan called her name. She was basically just there to collect her salary.

Ding Heng withdrew his gaze, already having made up his mind.

Although Su Wan is currently at the same level as the two, she is definitely capable of being a store manager. She is quick and efficient, observant, and knows how to delegate tasks.

There was even a hint of someone in charge...

Around 4:40, Zhao Yanxi and Wen Jing returned to the store together.

"Brother Ding Heng!"

Zhao Yanxi strode up to Ding Heng and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you tell me beforehand?"

"I stopped by for a visit since I was passing by."

Ding Heng gestured towards the bar and said, "The staff in your shop are all pretty good. I've been here for almost half an hour, and I haven't seen a single one idle."

"Of course!"

Zhao Yanxi seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in Ding Heng's words, and chuckled, "These are all people I personally selected, my trusted confidants for conquering the world in the future!"

After speaking, she walked straight to the bar, took the apron from Su Wan, and tied it on with practiced ease.

"Su Wan, has that batch of beans arrived this afternoon?"

"It's here. I've already tested the parameters, and it's more suitable than the last batch."

"Okay, I'll mix two drinks for you to try later."

The two women started talking, one after the other, and it really sounded like a conversation.

Wenjing quietly walked to the locker and put away the newly arrived supplies one by one.

After tidying up, he went to help Xiaoli wipe the table and arrange the chairs, never having a moment to spare.

Ding Heng saw this and couldn't help but feel both sorry for him and amused.

If Zhao Yanxi suffers a huge loss, Little Rabbit will definitely feel more heartbroken than Zhao Yanxi!

"Brother Ding Heng, here you go!"

Zhao Yanxi brought her specially made coffee to Ding Heng, saying proudly, "Try it, it's my new blend, with orange peel and honey, it has a slightly sweet taste."

Ding Heng took it, sipped it, and flattered with a cheerful smile: "It's really good."

"hey-hey."

Zhao Yanxi smiled and brought over another plate of fruit slices, all leftover fruit scraps.

Now that she's in charge of the household, she knows how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are, and she can't bear to waste them, so she simply uses them to feed her husband.

Wenjing finally finished her work and went to rest next to Ding Heng for a while.

Baima asked curiously, "Sister-in-law Wenjing, why do you do all sorts of things?"

"I'm just idling around anyway."

Wenjing sighed with regret, "It's not easy for Yanxi to open a shop. Every little bit of help we can give her is a good thing."

Baima clicked her tongue twice: "Sister-in-law, you're so kind..."

"Why don't you come and help with the work too?"

"Um...that works too."

Bai Ma felt too embarrassed to refuse, so she got up and followed Wen Jing, leaving Ding Heng, a grown man, sitting alone.

I sat there until 11 p.m.

Zhao Yanxi glanced at the time on her phone and stretched out a big yawn.

"Alright, alright, that's enough for today, everyone can call it a day."

She looked around and said, "I'll treat everyone to a late-night snack at Haidilao. Anyone want to come?"
