My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

"Can I put it in the lounge so everyone can drink it together?" Ling Lin held the tea box that Lin Jiu had handed him. It looked like a very expensive tea. He felt it would be a waste to drink it all by himself. It would be better to share it with everyone in the shop.

"of course can."

Lin Jiu smiled slightly.

Ling Lin then accepted the gift with a clear conscience.

After he changed into his maid outfit, he put the chocolate cookies Lin Jiu had given him into his closet and then took the tea out.

"The tea that Lin Jiu gave us is in the break room. Everyone can help themselves when they're resting." Ling Lin placed the tea box on the cabinet in the break room, took a picture with his phone, and posted it in the Tea Cat Cafe's employee group.

"Thank you, boss! You're so generous!"

"Then I'll bring a box of tea to the lounge. Is black tea okay?"

"This tea looks... fragrant, very fragrant."

A group of lurkers emerged from the employee group chat, including the early shift staff who were on duty.

However, the store is currently preparing to open for business and there are not many customers yet, so even if you openly take out your phone, you won't get scolded.

Manager Tong's management style was quite strict, but no one complained because she treated Ye Yue much more harshly than the other employees. In comparison, everyone felt that Tong Yingyu treated them all quite gently. Ye Yue's management style, on the other hand, was more whimsical; she would even find people to slack off with, and then they would all get scolded together. Over time, no one dared to slack off with her anymore.

"That tea looks very good. I'll have some during my day off today. Thank you."

Head Chef Xu Yangyou, a man with a deep affection for his wife, was a skilled chef. He was skilled in cooking and preparing for the future of his family.

"Eh?"

Lin Jiu was stunned for a moment.

Xu Yang tempted A Su Q Qu Γ,  Xing Huai Da Ying, � Trade Mou only   Zhi Liang Chu �

Lin Jiu glanced at the chat history and realized that Ling Lin had specifically reminded her that it was a gift from Lin Jiu.

That senior is really something. He clearly said he gave it to him, so it's his thing and he can do whatever he wants with it.

Lin Jiu had no choice but to take out his phone from his pocket. Seeing his colleagues' enthusiastic response, he typed back, "You're welcome, please use it."

Perhaps because he was used to working at the convenience store, Lin Jiu hadn't been very active in the employee group chat since joining, except for work-related matters. Occasionally, someone would contact him, and he would reply if he saw it, but if he was busy, he would ignore it. This wasn't intentional on Lin Jiu's part; a former team leader could vouch for him on this point, saying that Lin Jiu treated everyone the same.

Sometimes when Lin Jiu was busy with other things, he would ask Wang Yuting to reply to messages for him. Anyway, she understood what he meant, and he wasn't worried about what would happen if she saw his phone.

Xu Yang's glaze, a mirror, collapsed, a tomb, a strange sight, a glimmer of light, a sun, a glimmer of light ...

If someone can refrain from using their phone during work hours for the first few days of employment and diligently perform every task outside of breaks, then that person might be trying to make a good impression on their superiors during the probationary period. However, if this person consistently does this every single day, it only demonstrates that they have already established their own values and have their own work ethic. Anyone who says this is an act is welcome to try and act it out until the day they leave the company.

"I'm just used to it."

Lin Jiu shook his head. He was just not used to relaxing, so he would subconsciously tense up when he was working.

Of course, Lin Jiu wouldn't expect everyone to be like him; he knew very well that such a work environment would be very oppressive. The most attractive thing about this shop was that it made customers feel relaxed; if everyone was tense, it would scare customers away.

"Although Zhou Hangtong is lazy and always hides by the back door to smoke, disappearing as soon as it's time to leave work, he still completes his work tasks properly. He doesn't stay by the back door during his break either. At least from these points, I think he's a decent person." Lin Jiu said a few good words for his colleague. At least in his observation, Zhou Hangtong wasn't such a bad guy.

"I heard from the manager that you only plan to work here part-time for two months." Xu Yangyou said, her voice trembling. She looked at him with a hint of unease, then added, "You're only planning to work here part-time for two months." She continued, "I'm just a regular customer, not a part of the store. I'm sure you're doing well." She then added, "I'm just a regular customer, not a part of the store." She continued, "I'm just a regular customer, not a part of the store." She then added ...

Lin Jiu looked at the boy in front of him, who was slightly taller than him, and felt that he was being taken care of. In terms of age, Xu Yang was much taller than Lin Jiu, and his appearance was more mature and refined.

"Thank you, you guys are...the best colleagues too."

Lin Jiu wasn't good at expressing his feelings to anyone other than Wang Yuting. He felt his cheeks getting hot and his speech became hesitant.

"Hey you guys! Don't act like we're saying goodbye! Get back to work!" Ye Yue, a bag of cream dangling from her mouth, stormed out of the kitchen, declaring confidently, "Lin Jiu is my Tingting's boyfriend. As long as we're together, no matter what trouble the shop gets into, I'll shamelessly pester Tingting for help. Don't let his aloof demeanor fool you; he's actually an incredibly doting boyfriend. To avoid upsetting Tingting, he'll definitely come to my aid."

As Ye Yue ate the cream she had taken from the refrigerator, she raised an eyebrow and said to Lin Jiu, "You don't want to put Tingting in a difficult position, do you?"

"This Japanese netizen, please have some self-respect."

"How many times have I told you not to eat anything from the kitchen?"

"Isn't the food in the kitchen meant for people to eat?"

"That's for the guests!"

"I'm the store manager!"

Hazuki put her hands on her hips and said confidently.

Xu Yangying, a woman, was found to be naive and unresponsive. She was not a woman of great talent or virtue. She was a woman of great talent and ...

"Manager Tong!!"

Xu Yangyou �fanmie ah ?

We must use magic to fight magic.

"I'll give it back to you, I'll give it back to you..."

Hazuki immediately shut up and returned the frozen cream.

Xu Yangyongyong, to Lulang, to blow away the pain, to purify the vinegar, to see the beautiful eyes, to purify the chrysanthemum, to purify the cap ...

"I'll let it slide this time, but I'll definitely make you pay next time." Xu Yangyong said, his voice laced with a mocking tone. He looked at the fleeing man with a stern expression, his voice sharp and menacing. The man's gaze was fixed on Xu Yangyong, his voice trembling with amusement. Xu Yangyong's voice was a chilling reminder of his impending doom.

"Great."

Hazuki took the frozen cream and happily began to eat it.

"Eating raw cream, aren't you afraid of getting fat?" Xu Yang asked, her voice low and menacing. "You're eating raw cream, aren't you afraid of getting fat?" she said. "It's so delicious," she replied. "You're so gluttonous," Xu Yang said, her voice trembling ...

"Adults do exercise at night, and more exercise will prevent you from gaining weight."

Hazuki blinked cutely, stuck out her tongue slightly, and said playfully.

"Don't tell dirty jokes!"

Xu Yang used Jing to sigh urgently to the crab bed.

"Oh, I just meant a night run, what are you thinking?" Ye Yue looked at Xu Yangying with a mischievous grin. (The rest of the text appears to be nonsensical and unrelated to the previous sentences.)

"That statement from you carries absolutely no weight." Xu Yangyouju said, his voice sharp and unconvincing. "You're just making things difficult for me," he added.

"Hmph, I'm a wicked woman who'll stop at nothing to achieve my goals."

With frozen cream smacking in her mouth, Hazuki's gaze fell on Lin Jiu.

Lin Jiu lowered his head in deep thought, seemingly lost in thought.

"...May I ask a question?" Ye Yue suddenly felt a chill and asked cautiously, "Lin Jiu, are you thinking about how to get rid of me through legitimate means?"

"how can that be possible?"

Lin Jiu revealed the brightest smile she had shown all day.

"To get rid of someone without leaving a trace, legitimate means alone are not enough."

"You mean this?!"

Chapter 422 Homemade Cookies

"It's delicious."

The busy work finally gave us a short break.

Ling Lin sat in the lounge, holding his beloved cup and sipping the tea brewed for him by his adorable junior, feeling relaxed and content.

As someone with a sweet tooth, Ling Lin's favorite drink is milk tea, and he absolutely cannot stand black coffee. If he absolutely has to drink coffee, he'll add tons of milk and sugar, otherwise he won't be able to drink a single sip. Once, to prove he was an adult, on his coming-of-age day, he found the nearest coffee shop and confidently ordered a hot Americano.

The outcome was predictable.

Ling Lin never dreamed that she would get this job because she choked on her bitter coffee and cried.

Hazuki grasped his hand almost without hesitation and asked him if he wanted to work at the store.

This seems very strange no matter how you look at it.

This is clearly a coffee shop, yet they hired someone who isn't good at drinking coffee to work here. Is this some kind of joke?

Ling Lin initially thought the pretty older woman was trying to scam him, until she presented her terms... These were wages and employee benefits that Ling Lin couldn't refuse, especially the option to order a drink freely every day, which was incredibly tempting. Because his unreliable parents had gone out to work and he had lost contact with them, and his living expenses had also been cut off, Ling Lin had to live frugally, as he still had a younger sister at home.

When Ling Lin received the maid outfit from Ye Yue, he realized he had been tricked.

It turns out that every gift bestowed by fate has a price tag attached in secret.

This high salary was clearly not something a waiter could earn, especially someone like Ling Lin who hadn't gone to school after graduating high school. Blinded by money, Ling Lin didn't realize this at all, and by the time he wanted to back out, it was too late. In the blink of an eye, he had been working at this restaurant for a year.

Ling Lin had experienced many ups and downs that year. His regular customers always managed to come up with something new and exciting, leaving him feeling physically and mentally exhausted. At times like these, being able to drink a cup of fragrant and rich tea felt like a cleansing of the soul, making Ling Lin feel incredibly relaxed.

Although tea is bitter, a faint sweetness lingers in the mouth at the end, making it acceptable even to children.

"No, I'm not a child."

Ling Lin shook his head.

"How does it taste, senior?"

"It's delicious, I really like it."

"That's good."

Lin Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Lin wore a complicated expression.

"Hey, junior."

"Senior, what's wrong?"

"Could you please stop touching my head while I'm drinking tea?"

Ling Lin looked at Lin Jiu standing beside him, constantly stroking his head, and felt something was off.
