When I Saw The Returns, I Invested In My Future Wife First

124 Different Working Atmosphere, Greater Changes

Allen first went to a few nearby snack shops to sit for a while. When the shop owner was not around, he came with the employees of the snack shop and chatted for a while. Then, he said Yan Kaize’s name.

What the business district wanted was the students’ business, especially the students from Oxford.

The merchants who opened the shop had more or less heard of Yan Kaize’s name and knew that he was a very powerful investor. His business plan was flawless. When they heard that Yan Kaize’s milk tea shop was poaching people, the employees of the snack shop were very tempted.

He walked around the vicinity and really fooled three to four people, saying that he wanted to give it a try at the milk tea shop.

Allen felt that his work would be completed soon and he would receive the reward mentioned by his boss!

However, gradually, he was not so happy because he had visited all the nearby snack shops but he was still two short of the target of the 10-man mission. There were not many more people whom he could deceive!

Allen had been avoiding going to Good Me’s milk tea shop. It was very awkward to meet him again after changing from colleagues to enemies after all.

However, in order to complete the mission, Allen put on a brown windbreaker, sunglasses, and a newspaper. He stood opposite Good Me’s milk tea shop and carefully observed the situation in the shop.

He wanted to see if there were any flaws so that he could take advantage of the situation and strive to get two more people back.

“Eh? Store manager Allen, why are you standing here?” A former colleague walked over and said to Allen.

Allen remembered that his name was Cheng Song, and he was not a talkative person. Allen’s first reaction was to cover his face with the newspaper and pretend not to know him.

Cheng Song turned to the side and said, “Store manager Allen, don’t hide. We saw you a long time ago.”

“That’s impossible!” Allen said, putting down the newspaper.

He stood beside a small kiosk. The people from the milk tea shop opposite would sometimes come over to buy some snacks. Allen had seen a few pass by at the same time and did not notice him. How could they recognize him?!

Cheng Song smiled and said, “They pretended to come over to buy things to confirm if it was you. Otherwise, look at how busy our shop is. How would we have time to eat?”

The customers who could not buy milk tea at the milk tea shop at the entrance of the street all came here.

Allen put down the newspaper and took off his eyes. He asked curiously, “How did you recognize me? I’m in such a disguise.”

He had seen many detectives wear this in television dramas, thinking that they could blind everyone.

Cheng Song was stunned for a moment. So Allen still felt that he had disguised himself very well?

He held his stomach and smiled. “It’s only early autumn. The weather isn’t cold at all. The streets are filled with short-sleeved shirts. You’re the only one wrapped up tightly. You are too eye-catching to be missed.”

Allen only thought about hiding and did not consider whether it was appropriate.

No wonder he was sweating profusely and thought that he was too nervous.

Allen took off his windbreaker and felt very embarrassed. He had made a fool of himself before he even opened his mouth. Forget about the mission of poaching.

He turned to leave, but Cheng Song stopped him and said, “Since you’re already here, let’s have a cup of milk tea.”

“Uh… There’s no need. I still have something on…”

“Come on, it’s all thanks to you taking care of me in the past, store manager. I’ll treat you to a drink,” Cheng Song said warmly. That frank smile made Allen unable to refuse.

Allen was pulled unwillingly into his opponent’s milk tea shop. Everyone greeted him very normally, and a few former colleagues were still smiling at him.

There was a very intimate feeling, but it was also very absent.

Allen felt that his butt was covered in thorns and could not sit steadily. Cheng Song asked for a cold drink and placed it in front of Allen. “Try it. It’s your favorite lemon flavor.”

Allen glanced at Cheng Song and felt that he was different from before. He picked up the milk tea and took a sip.

The perfect refreshing feeling flowed from his mouth to his body, and the comfortable feeling spread throughout his body. After chasing away the dust from the entire day, Allen’s breath felt refreshed with the fragrance of lemons.

It was so delicious. It was even better than the ones in his shop.

After drinking the milk tea, Allen felt much more relaxed and was no longer as reserved as before.

He smiled and said to Cheng Song, “I feel that you’ve become more cheerful.”

And more generous.

In the past, Cheng Song was a quiet person at the entrance of the street. He did not like to talk much and was often distracted when he was working. His eyes seemed like they were looking at the abyss, one could not tell what he was thinking.

Moreover, he was not so generous.

As far as Allen knew, Cheng Song’s family background was not very good. He dropped out of high school halfway through school for a very simple reason—his family did not have money.

He entered society early and did odd jobs everywhere. He saved up some money and rented a bed in a village in the city.

Allen was not exaggerating. The house Cheng Song had rented was divided into a small single room by the landlord. It was so narrow that it could only fit a bed and a pair of slippers.

Perhaps it was because the place he lived in was too oppressive, Cheng Song looked very depressed.

Moreover, he was very stingy.

In the past, when they worked together, everyone would make their own cup of milk tea when they were thirsty. They only needed to pay up to the cost. It was very cheap. However, even so, Cheng Song only drank free plain water.

In Allen’s impression, it was enough for Chen Song to have basic necessities. He did not have any other hobbies or interests. He would not spend a single cent more.

Now, he actually took the initiative to treat him to milk tea.

“Of course.” Cheng Song said excitedly, “I have money to spare with my current salary and can live in a free 40 square meters single apartment. I don’t have to rush in the crowded bus every day. I’m very satisfied with my current life!”

Allen silently took a sip of milk tea and said casually, “Then the salary and treatment here should be good, right?”

“6,000 yuan.” Cheng Song did not hide anything.

The two of them chatted for a while before a guest entered. Cheng Song was busy greeting the guests.

Allen saw that every employee had a smile on their faces. It was not a fake mask, but a heartfelt joy. It was much stronger than the forced awkwardness in his shop.

Customers naturally preferred this atmosphere. From ordering to getting the milk tea, they were taken care of meticulously. The employees would not recommend making simple dishes. Instead, they would ask the customers’ preferences.

Allen’s eyes subconsciously revealed envy.

He suddenly understood why the employees would collectively jump ship.

When he first found out about this, he was still a little angry.

This was because he felt that he was not a bad leader. He would never shout at everyone and would take care of every employee in the shop if he could. Otherwise, a few employees would not have stayed on account of him.

He always felt that he had failed in his duty when his employees jumped ship collectively. Therefore, facing his boss’s request to poach others, Allen agreed even if he did not want to because he felt that it was also his responsibility that the employees left.

From the looks of it, he could not poach them away.

“Cheng Song, thank you for today. I’m going back.” Allen stood up.

No matter how good other people’s shops were, he still had to go back and look after his own.

At this moment, Xiao Fei stopped him with a smile.
