the other side.
Zhang Ruoran followed waiter Xiao Li to the entrance of this new store called Yueze Coffee.
Just by standing outside the store and looking at the storefront, Zhang Ruoran felt that this coffee shop looked very international.
The colors and materials used in the renovation clearly weren't cheap.
She thought to herself that the owner of this shop must have very good taste.
As Zhang Ruoran pushed open the glass door and stepped into the store, she immediately smelled a very rich aroma of coffee beans.
At the same time, she also saw the foreign face making coffee at the bar.
Zhang Ruoran felt a little curious, so she took out her phone and searched online for photos of the national coffee competition champion.
When I looked at the phone screen, it really was that foreigner at the bar.
Zhang Ruoran gasped inwardly.
She herself owns a high-end restaurant and is very aware of the labor costs involved.
How much would it cost to hire an international champion of this caliber to make coffee in the shop?
Moreover, the coffee beans used in the store are all the best varieties.
Goodness, with such high costs, can this store really make a profit?
Zhang Ruoran glanced at the menu on the bar counter subconsciously.
She discovered that the Americano that Xiao Li mentioned, which cost twenty yuan a cup, did indeed exist.
However, this is clearly a perk product designed to attract customers.
The other coffees on the menu are mostly priced above 100 yuan.
However, even if it sells for over a hundred yuan, you still have to factor in the champion barista's salary and the cost of purchasing these top-quality coffee beans.
Selling it at this price is practically an act of charity.
Zhang Ruoran subconsciously thought to herself:
"Wow, is the owner of this shop really throwing money away, coming here specifically to do charity?"
However, the waiter next to him, Xiao Li, didn't think about the billing process that much.
She took out her phone to scan the QR code and ordered two Americanos for 20 yuan each.
Soon, two cups of coffee were ready.
Zhang Ruoran and Xiao Li, carrying their coffees, found a seat by the large glass window in the shop and sat down.
Zhang Ruoran took a sip of coffee; it did indeed taste good.
She smiled and said to Xiao Li, "Xiao Li, thank you for buying me coffee."
Xiao Li waved his hand and said with a sincere smile:
"Manager Zhang, please don't stand on ceremony with me. I'm so grateful for your care and guidance at the shop; that's why I've been able to do such a good job. Today it's just a cup of coffee, nothing at all."
Hearing Xiao Li say that, Zhang Ruoran felt a warm feeling in her heart.
She looked at the young girl in front of her.
Xiao Li has been working at the store for a year now.
Zhang Ruoran still remembers that when Xiao Li first came to the store, she really was like a little girl who hadn't grown up.
She is very shy and doesn't even dare to greet guests loudly; she often lowers her head.
But thinking about it carefully, Xiao Li is only nineteen years old this year and has just started working. It's normal for him to be scared.
Later, under Zhang Ruoran's guidance, she was constantly taught and encouraged.
Xiao Li learned very quickly, and she gradually became an excellent waitress who could work independently in the store.
Now, Xiao Li has a strong drive that isn't afraid of hardship. She really wants to earn more money and wants to become a manager in the store.
Looking at Xiao Li now, with that drive, Zhang Ruoran felt as if she were seeing herself again, working hard for a living.
At that very moment, in the Zeran Flower Shop next door...
Li Ze was sitting on the sofa in the rest area, drinking tea.
The old man walked in from outside, stood next to Li Ze, and began to report the various messages he had just received.
The old man said expressionlessly:
"Boss, Madam just went to the Moonlit Coffee Shop next door with one of our employees, Xiao Li."
Li Ze paused for a moment while holding the teacup.
The eldest brother then reported on the situation of the others:
"In addition, this morning the young master went to the car dealership and bought more than a dozen Ferrari sports cars in one go. Dai Yuqian is having lunch at her home in Beichen Garden now."
"Also, Dai Yuqian will be staying at Beichen Garden for dinner tonight. And the young master has plans for dinner; he'll be having dinner with Dai Chong, the car saleswoman."
The old man finished explaining everything in one breath.
After hearing this, Li Ze completely ignored his son's car purchase and meals.
What's wrong with my son buying more than a dozen cars?
He gave his son a billion yuan, and his son could buy whatever he wanted.
He didn't care at all about his son going out to dinner with that female saleswoman or where Dai Yuqian went to eat.
These are all things that young people should do themselves.
Right now, he only has one thing on his mind.
That means Zhang Ruoran went to the coffee shop next door!
Li Ze immediately stood up from the sofa.
He knew perfectly well that the coffee shop belonged to Bai Qianyue.
At this moment, Bai Qianyue must also be in the shop!
If the two of them were to meet, and Bai Qianyue were to say something inappropriate, things would get very complicated!
Li Ze thought anxiously to himself: Bai Qianyue should be here too. Could they have already started talking to each other?
Just as Li Ze was thinking this in the flower shop.
In the Moonlit Cafe next door.
Zhang Ruoran was drinking coffee when suddenly, a white figure walked to their table and appeared right in front of her.
Zhang Ruoran looked up and gazed over.
The other person was dressed in a very elegant white outfit.
She was draped in a white veil, which covered half of her face.
This person's entire outfit exudes a very elegant and sophisticated air, befitting a wealthy lady.
Zhang Ruoran didn't recognize that the other person was Bai Qianyue at this moment, after all, they hadn't seen each other for eighteen years, and the other person was wearing a veil.
Zhang Ruoran just thought to herself that this person was probably the owner of the coffee shop.
Bai Qianyue stood by the table, looking down at Zhang Ruoran who was sitting there.
She walked over, looked into Zhang Ruoran's eyes, and spoke in a warm tone:
"Excuse me, sir/madam, how do you find our coffee?"
