The end of the year soon came.

Li Junhan's work at the café is still going well.

Although he has been helping out in his family's restaurant since elementary school to earn pocket money and New Year's money, working in this café is a completely different feeling for him.

Here he felt something intense, what could be called a "human touch".

Not every customer, but the first thing most of the guests who come to the restaurant is to say hello to the owner who has been standing behind the bar all year round, and then go to the table next to them to find a free seat and sit down. Wait.

And then after a while, the bar will make what he wants to eat...... Usually steak.

What is more unusual is that the boss usually calls people to come over one by one to get ......

In other words, the owner of the café seems to be able to remember the names of these customers......

This is a very novel experience for Li Junhan.

In his concept, the hotel is either as lively and vibrant as the chain Chinese restaurant in the family, and people are all smiling, or it is like those chain luxury Western restaurants, quiet, but stylish, and pays attention to an elegant atmosphere.

But he had never felt the atmosphere of this café.

It's novel, but it's also comfortable.

Even Li Junhan had an idea that it would be good to open a café like this in the future when he earned enough money......

The days were calm and serene, and time flew by.

Those regular customers gradually got used to the new waiter in the store, and while waiting for the meal, they would always chat with Li Junhan who came to clean up the table. As a result, Li Junhan slowly became familiar with these guests.

The middle-aged uncle, surnamed Zheng, although he looks very simple, like an ordinary office worker, is a teacher in a vocal music classroom in the building next to him, and he is really an art person.

The woman, who looked to be about the same age as Li Junhan, was actually nearly ten years older than Li Junhan and also worked in this building.

There is also an uncle who comes to dinner every Wednesday at noon, and then packs and takes a copy with him when he leaves, an agent of the company across the road - Li Junhan finally knows, it is an acting agency - an agent.

It is said that the acting agency is well-known throughout South Korea, but Lee Junhan has never heard of it. Moreover, in fact, he didn't understand what the agent did.

There's also a little girl who comes once every two weeks, always on Tuesday afternoons, because that's the store's sale time.

There will be more people at this time, but Li Junhan will remember this girl because every time the boss will leave a steak.

Even if a guest arrives first and orders a steak, the boss will tell the guest that it has been sold out.

Every time, the girl's payment will be more scattered. 1,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan, sometimes even 500 yuan. It looks like it's been saved.

Of course, there is another reason why Li Junhan will remember this girl.

She's very ......

It's not pretty. She's not the kind of beautiful looks that traditional Korean girls have. In this regard, Li Junhan feels that his ex-wives may be better-looking.

But she can easily be remembered.

She looks very distinctive.

Moreover, when she came to the store for the second time, Li Junhan, who knew that the boss had left her a steak, took the initiative to chat with her, heard her name, and was also very impressed.

Zheng Yongzhu.

If it weren't for Li Junhan's good English skills, he might not have been able to chat with that girl.

Only then did he know that the 16-year-old girl was an overseas Chinese who had returned to South Korea from the United States and was now working as a trainee at the agency opposite.

As for what the trainee is, it took a lot of effort for Zheng Longzhu to explain it to him in words that both of them could understand.

After that, there were a series of various nouns, what debut, idol...... Something like that.

And she came here to eat steak once every two weeks, just because she grew up in the United States, she really didn't adapt to the Korean eating habits, but the food standard of the trainees was not very high, and she was embarrassed to ask for more money from her family, so she could only eat one less meal a day, save a little money, and get together for two weeks to eat once......

She said that the steak here tasted a lot like her mother made at home.

Then Li Junhan finally understood why the steak that the boss prepared for her was a bigger circle than the others.

"Children, it's the time to grow their bodies, and it's good to eat more meat." When Li Junhan knew the answer but still raised the question in front of the boss, the boss said so with an indifferent face.

When he heard this, Li Junhan suddenly felt that it would be good for him to work in this café in the future, and then live like this......

The time came to the last day of 2006.

"Well, tomorrow the store won't open, you can have a day off! You've had a hard time these last few days! When it was time to close the store, the boss said to Li Junhan with a smile.

Li Junhan is very satisfied with the work of this coffee shop, and the boss is not very satisfied with this employee who has been working for several months!

It can only be said that Li Junhan is too diligent.

Li Junhan, who has been accustomed to similar militarized management at home since he was a child, has almost instinctively been obedient and executive.

It's just that in the past, at home, it was the grandfather who gave the order, and now, it is the boss who gives the order.

Whether it is making pasta, or putting away the table, washing dishes, for Li Junhan, it is very crisp and beautiful.

Originally, the working hours discussed between Li Junhan and his boss were from 11:30 to 7:30 in the afternoon, a full eight hours, but after seeing how busy the café was, Li Junhan's working hours were consciously adjusted to 11:30 to 8:30.

Moreover, Li Junhan did not feel that he should talk more about salary with his boss.

He is proficient in business management, and he knows that he can't negotiate any conditions.

Besides, he really enjoyed this life. He was a little reluctant to lose his current job for a salary increase that was almost impossible to get.

For the first time in his life, he felt as if he really liked to do something like this.

"I'll see you the next morning. Boss, be careful on your way back. Li Junhan was still very polite.

"Hmm." The boss smiled and nodded, got on his motorbike and left.

"It's really a bit strange to have such a stylish motorcycle, with the boss......" Li Junhan scolded the boss, shook his head with a smile, and walked home.

The reason why he took the initiative to extend his working hours is because he likes to spend time in cafes, and also because it can reduce the time he spends at home.

If he had money, he would find a way to sell the house and replace it with another one......

Otherwise, there are all kinds of memories everywhere in this house.

Memories can sometimes really hurt.

Therefore, although he got off work, Li Junhan did not plan to go home.

Walking alone on the street in Gangnam, although it is almost nine o'clock in the evening, because today is the last day of the year, there are many people on the street.

So, this winter evening is particularly lively.
