After coughing twice in a deliberately mysterious manner, he began to speak.
"Oh right, Yezi-kun, I forgot to tell you, you don't have to go to work today."
"Ok?"
Ye Ziye frowned. He felt like he had been tricked, because he only received the news after arriving at the store.
"Don't worry, not having to come to work means you're not in the store!"
"What do you mean?"
Looking at Kudo Nami, Ye Ziye didn't quite understand, but he guessed that what this woman was about to say was what she had talked about with Nakamura Nanami before he arrived.
Kudo Nami coughed a few more times, straightened her back, and spoke with considerable authority.
"To give back to the community, I, Nami Kudo, the owner of the pet cafe, have decided to go out today and deliver free coffee and various drinks to the staff!"
After saying that, Kudo Nami closed her eyes, seemingly enjoying the sense of superiority she felt.
...
Meanwhile, Nakamura Nanami clapped along in agreement. When she first heard the news, she had been a big fan of Kudo Nami.
As a kind girl, she had no objection to such charitable activities; on the contrary, she was very willing to participate.
"Are you kidding me?"
Ye Ziye was somewhat skeptical, because this was not something Kudo Nami would do; in his mind, this woman had always been unreliable.
Although he's not a bad person, he wasn't so kind as to do this kind of activity.
"What kind of talk is that? Of course I'm not joking!"
Kudo Nami was a little exasperated, her face flushed, and she bared her teeth at Yoko.
Nakamura Nanning chimed in from the side.
“Master, what Nami said is true. She has already chosen the location.”
Listening to his apprentice's explanation, Ye Ziye finally believed it to some extent, but he still didn't understand why Kudo Nami would think of doing such a thing.
Could it be that his wisdom has been awakened?
Kudo Nami felt a little annoyed by Ye Ziye's gaze, crossed her arms, and began to explain.
“On Monday, I ran into a friend who works in this field, so I thought I'd help her out and spread some kindness.”
"Oh~"
Ye Ziye nodded; he knew that this was an idea that Kudo Nami couldn't have come up with.
Chapter 97
So what do we need to do?
Ye Ziye put his hands behind his head and stared at Kudo Nami. He had a premonition that this time things would definitely not be easy for him.
As far as he knew, the shop had no stock, so if he wanted to go out and donate to charity, he would have to make the food fresh, and he was the only barista in the shop.
Hearing his question, Kudo Nami felt a little embarrassed, tapping her index fingers together repeatedly, and whispered...
"The charity event is in the afternoon, so you need to make enough drinks in the morning so we can give them out to others in the afternoon..."
Kudo Nami's voice grew softer and softer, completely losing her previous smugness.
She knew this was not an easy task, and since she hadn't explained it beforehand, the time was even more pressing, and she still felt guilty.
"I know this is difficult... but I still hope you can agree. Of course, I won't force you if you don't want to, since I contacted you so late..."
The 25-year-old woman pouted, looking as if she knew she had made a mistake.
Ye Ziye sat in the chair and sighed softly. It seemed that Kudo Nami still couldn't shake off the title of useless shop manager in his mind. In the end, he was the one who suffered.
However, he never considered refusing. Although he wasn't a good person, he wouldn't refuse if Kudo Nami wanted to do something good and needed his help.
Because he believed in the mysterious and enigmatic concept of good deeds being rewarded.
There must be something extraordinary about this world, otherwise how could he have traveled to this world and lived a good life?
There's really nothing wrong with doing charity work now. What if Buddha blesses you? Just treat it like work, even though the workload is a bit heavy.
"No problem, you don't need to prepare the materials on the spot, do you?"
Ye Ziye readily agreed, which surprised Kudo Nami, who had already prepared herself for rejection, as it was indeed a bit unreasonable.
But she was caught off guard when Ye Ziye agreed so readily.
Nakamura Nanami, who had been standing to the side, was the first to come to her senses. She jumped up, hugged Garfield, and went to Ye Ziye's side, hugging his arm.
"I knew Master would agree!"
Ye Ziye was a little uncomfortable with this intimate behavior, but seeing how happy Nakamura Nanning was, he didn't say anything to spoil the mood.
However, he was still a little depressed. Why were these two people so surprised after he agreed to do charity work? Did he really act like a heartless person in his daily life?
"Thank you, Ye Zijun, you're a good person!"
Ye Ziye clicked his tongue in a very unladylike manner. For some reason, he was once again given the "friend zone" card, and he regretted agreeing to do it.
"It's okay, just give me a raise..."
Ye Ziye waved his hand and made a joke.
However, Kudo Nami seemed not to have noticed, and nodded very seriously before speaking.
"No problem, 250,000 yen a month!"
Ye Ziye's expression was a little strange, but he didn't say anything. He knew that Kudo Nami wasn't joking, but was serious.
But the key question is, are his jokes really that unlike jokes? Is he really not a person suited for humor?
Ye Ziye fell into self-doubt.
"Ye Zi, the materials are all in the warehouse. Time is a bit tight, so just make as much as you can. It doesn't matter as long as we can get something out of there."
Nami Kudo pointed to the warehouse, which had just been replenished on Monday and was still well-stocked.
As a wealthy woman, she didn't care how much material Ye Ziye would use; she genuinely wanted to do it, fulfilling her childhood dream of becoming a hero.
"Okay, I understand..."
Ye Ziye recovered from his self-doubt and nodded silently. He felt that he should joke less in the future.
"Master, I will help you!"
Nakamura Nanning is very energetic. She has always been a girl with a strong sense of justice, and she is very happy to be able to do this kind of charity work.
Although her coffee-making skills are not yet fully developed, she can still assist with this kind of work!
"Okay, go to the warehouse and get the materials in a bit."
Ye Ziye got up from his chair, and Nakamura Nanami picked up an apron from beside him and tied it around his neck, showing great thoughtfulness...
It's already opening time, but not a single customer has come. Kudo Nami must have notified them in advance, which saved them a lot of trouble.
"Nakamura, go to the warehouse and get some tea leaves for black tea."
"Don't you make coffee?"
Upon hearing this, Nakamura Nanning asked a question out of curiosity.
Ye Ziye sighed helplessly and looked at his foolish disciple.
“Although we are giving it away, we also need to consider the actual situation. Coffee is not something that everyone can get used to. The people we are giving it to probably don’t drink much coffee. In comparison, black tea is much more popular and affordable.”
"So that's how it is."
Nakamura Nanami nodded her head knowingly, taking Ye Ziye's words to heart; she hadn't considered things enough.
"Master, you are so clever."
"I know, go and prepare the tea."
After seemingly boasting without any modesty, Ye Ziye sat down at the bar, not feeling that time was particularly urgent.
As long as you get the proportions right, you can make as much or as little black tea as you want.
However, he didn't plan to do too much. They would only give away drinks for free in one place, and there wouldn't be many people who needed them there.
Tokyo is a large and bustling city, and workers are found in all sorts of places, so there won't be too many in one area; you just need to do a decent job.
Ye Ziye placed all the tools needed to make black tea on the bar counter and waited for Nakamura Nanning to bring over the tea leaves.
This was his first time making black tea, and the idea came from Yukino Yukinoshita.
The black tea I had at the service department was good, but it was definitely inferior to what he made. Ye Ziye even thought that after this event, the number of customers in the store would definitely increase again.
"Master, the black tea is here!"
Nakamura Nanning's energetic voice came from afar, as he carried out a whole box of tea from the warehouse—all the store's inventory.
Ye Ziye opened her mouth, but after seeing the high-spirited Nakamura Nanning, she didn't say anything.
"Nakamura, I'll begin now. You'll have to learn from me."
"Yes, Master!"
Chapter 98
Time passed by second by second, and before we knew it, it was eleven o'clock.
The pet cafe wasn't as busy as I'd imagined; instead, it was rather relaxed. After explaining the reason to the other two people, they stopped showing any signs of anxiety.
However, the three of them were still making black tea in an orderly manner, with Ye Ziye naturally being the main force, while Kudo Nami and Nakamura Nanami were assisting.
"That's enough. Any more would be a waste."
Looking at the black tea on the bar, Ye Ziye promptly called for a pause. He had a rough idea of the amount, or rather, there was already too much tea on the table.
Is this really enough?
Nami Kudo was still a little worried because she had searched for relevant information online before making this decision, and there was a lot of information about what other people had done.
"Yes, that's enough. As long as those people don't drink the whole pot at once, it's definitely enough."
"But..."
