Chapter 1: The Strange Coffee House

Next Chapter

Standing in front of this coffee house in the middle of the city, Qin Feng felt that everything in front of him was so unreal, and the five regular characters of "Shanhai Coffee House" with iron paintings and silver hooks gave this shop a quaint atmosphere. Qin Feng's parents died in a car accident a month ago, and the only thing left to him was this coffee house and a million compensation. It took him a month to get out of this shadow and officially take over the coffee house that his parents had struggled for all his life, in fact, he was quite confused, because he gnawed at the old after graduating from college, and he didn't have any business mind.

He took out the key and tried to open the door, but when he put his hand on the door, he found that it was open.

"A thief?" Qin Feng suddenly became nervous, if all the things in the store were stolen, wouldn't he even have no way to live?

He saw an iron rod for collecting canopies outside the door, so he gently pushed the door in his hand, intending to check it

"Ding" A bell sounded from the door, and the frightened Qin Feng suddenly became even more nervous, holding his breath and not daring to make a sound.

"Hello, we haven't reached business hours yet, please come back later" A pleasant female voice came from behind the bar, Qin Feng walked to the bar lightly, raised the iron rod in his hand, no matter who it was, he planned to strike first.

"I'm sorry, our boss is temporarily dealing with private matters, the store has not yet reached business hours, I can't receive it without permission, please forgive me" The female voice didn't hear the sound of the bell, she knew that the guest didn't leave, so she reminded again, but no one responded, she was going to get up and see, at this time she heard a whistling sound, looked up and saw that it was a stick hitting her, and she panicked all of a sudden.

Qin Feng only saw a red light flash in the thief's eyes, and then his body flew towards his back uncontrollably, and in an instant, pain hit, and a feeling of suffocation made him breathe wildly.

"Zero, there's an intruder, expel it," the melodious female voice commanded the watch in her hand.

"Sister Xiaorou, he is the new owner of Shanhai Coffee House, are you sure you want to expel him?" An electronic sound rang out inside the café.

"You say he's the new master?" Xiao Rou looked at Qin Feng, who was struggling on the ground, as if he was about to suffocate, and felt that he was too weak.

"He is the son of the old master, and he is also the direct descendant of that person" The electronic voice sounded again, and all of Qin Feng's information was projected on Xiao Rou's watch, including what color and style of his underwear was today. "And if you don't leave him alone, I guess in three minutes we'll have no owner again."

Xiao Rou heard the electronic voice say this, and immediately ran to Qin Feng's side to check on his situation, the feeling of suffocation was much better, but Qin Feng felt that his right hand was not strong, and the thief walked towards him again, Qin Feng supported the ground with his left hand, and moved behind him one by one.

"Don't come here, I've already called the police, it's still too late for you to escape now" Qin Feng closed his eyes and was about to wait for death, his right wrist was surrounded by a soft and warm thing, and when he opened his eyes, it turned out that the female thief was holding his wrist with her right hand and putting her left hand on her shoulder.

"Your shoulder blades are misaligned, it may hurt a little later, bear with it a little" Xiao Rou said these words gently, but Qin Feng sounded so wrong.

"Click" Qin Feng felt that his arm hurt so much that he was unconscious, and shouted directly, it was the morning, and when the sparse pedestrians on the street passed by the coffee house, they saw a girl holding a man's right hand through the glass window and pressing him to the ground.

"My hand is broken" This thought flashed in Qin Feng's mind, this thief was too ruthless, not only did he steal things, but he didn't panic at all when he was discovered, but tortured the owner who was stolen.

Xiao Rou let go of Qin Feng's right hand, got up and began to tidy up the broken seat. After a while, Qin Feng felt that his right hand didn't seem to hurt so much, and he could still move, so he planned to get up and run out to call the police, but just as he took the first step, the thief turned around and looked at him with a smile.

"Master, I'm sorry, I was too reckless just now, please forgive me" As she spoke, she bent down and bowed, and just bent over to wait for Qin Feng's instructions.

"What master, what are you doing? Don't think that I won't call the police like this" Qin Feng was startled when he saw Xiao Rou like this, although people helped him pick up the bones and clean the store, but he didn't know if there was a financial loss.

"May I ask if you are Mr. Qin Feng?" Xiaorou is still bent over, she knows who gave her current life, and it has been like this for hundreds of years, every owner of this shop does not need to be like this, but the concept she has accepted since she was a child is like this, the master can't get up without speaking, it has been like this since childhood, until the man appeared, took her young self out of the big mansion, and arranged for her to go to the shop he opened, and she has been working here since until the man disappeared, She also still protects and guides every owner of this shop.

"I'm Qin Feng, you stand up and speak first" Qin Feng began to look at Xiao Rou carefully, she was about one meter six or five tall, her eyes were big, she looked clear and bright, her nose bridge was high, her long black hair was scattered behind her head, like a black waterfall, her body was well-proportioned, she was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and black trousers, and a pair of simple sports cloth shoes on her feet, the whole person was clean and pure, and she always had a faint smile on her face.

"If you are Qin Feng, then you are the new owner of this store, I am an employee of this store, Ye Xiaorou" Ye Xiaorou walked to the cash register after introducing herself.

Qin Feng only took a good look at this coffee house at this time, although this shop was run by his parents, but he had never been here since he was a child, he was busy studying when he was a child, and he was too lazy to run when he grew up, which is the problem of every young man now. The store is very elegant, on the right side of the door is the cash register, where there is a computer playing quiet and elegant songs, on the walls on both sides are two huge bookshelves, in the middle are three rows of sofa seats slightly spaced apart, the vase on the table is red roses, behind itself is a bar, inside a huge wooden cabinet, divided lattice in some precious coffee beans and famous wine. On the right is a staircase leading to the second floor, and on the left there is a corridor with several boxes to the right.

After a while, Xiaorou came back with a thick notebook.

"This is this month's turnover, please take a look" Xiao Rou handed the account book to Qin Feng with both hands, Qin Feng had never touched these things, and the ghost knew what was written on it.

"Okay, no problem, you're going to be open for business this month?" Qin Feng casually flipped it twice and returned it to Xiao Rou.

"Yes, we are all open for business this month, this is the rule of this store, no matter what happens, we must open for business, if the boss is not there, the staff will be responsible for management" Xiao Rou said seriously with the account book in her arms, no joke at all.

"Ding" Just as Qin Feng was about to say something more, a bell sounded.

"Hello, welcome, what do you want to drink" Xiao Rou heard the bell and knew that the guest was coming, so she beckoned the guest to go.

The guest who came here was a young female white-collar worker in professional attire, who walked straight to the row of bookshelves on the left after entering the store, took out a book from it and sat down to read on the sofa nearest to her, Xiao Rou brought out a cup of fragrant coffee from the bar, gently placed it on the table, and then turned to leave, without the slightest communication, as if the two were used to each other's behavior.

"Xiao Rou, how do you know that she wants this coffee, what should I do if I serve it wrong" Qin Feng was planning for the coffee house business, and now he was counting on this coffee house, if he collapsed, he didn't know what he could do, as for the one million compensation, he still had to wait for the coffee house to make up for the loss.

"Her name is Wu Xin, she is an old customer in our store, she consumed in our store a year ago, and I have always helped her make coffee by myself" Xiaorou explained to Qin Feng carefully, and began to explain the main facilities in this store.

About half an hour later, Wu Xin closed the book, came to the cashier to scan the code to pay, and left the coffee house, without saying a word the whole time.

"A few rooms on the second floor are used as usual resting rooms, if you don't have any opinions, I'll take you to have a look" Xiao Rou seemed to know that there were no customers at this time, so she planned to take Qin Feng to visit the coffee house.

After going up the stairs to the second floor, you will see a clean and tidy living room, which is not very large, but it has all the facilities it should have.

"The first room on the left is the kitchen, the second is the toilet, the first room on the right is my room, and the second room and the other rooms are unoccupied." Xiao Rou took Qin Feng to visit one room after another, and Qin Feng knew at this time that this apartment type was a "T" shaped corridor, and there were three rooms on the side facing the corridor, two rooms on the left and right.

Soon several rooms were visited, but when she arrived at Xiao Rou's room, Xiao Rou stopped.

"Boss, I don't need to look at my room, I'm afraid I'll scare you," Xiaorou whispered.

Qin Feng thought it was a girl's room, and it was inconvenient to look at, and he didn't ask too much, and he didn't have any dissatisfaction.

"Xiaorou, please help me clean up a room and come out, I plan to live here in the future, there are too many things worth remembering in that home" Qin Feng usually has a very good relationship with his parents, but when they left him all of a sudden, they were still very sad in their hearts, as if they had lost a lot of things.

"Okay, boss" Xiao Rou bent down and saluted again, making Qin Feng have an idea, and the maid in the coffee house was still quite good.

Business was not bad all afternoon, but many people asked Xiaorou where the original boss went, Xiaorou didn't say anything, just said that the coffee house had a different owner, he was the son of the old owner, and she didn't say anything about the rest, and made coffee for them with peace of mind.

Sunset, evening approached, when the last customer of the coffee house was sent away, Xiao Rou turned over the sign open at the door of the store, and began to clean carefully, cleaning those cups, looking at Xiao Rou's skillful and calm movements, it can be seen that she often does these things, it has become a habit.

"Xiaorou, are you busy in the store alone?" Qin Feng has only seen Xiao Rou busy in the store alone until now, and he also wants to ask if there are any other clerks.

"There used to be a few helpers, but after your parents died, they disappeared with them" A trace of sadness flashed in Xiao Rou's eyes, as if she thought of something.

"Then let's hire two more people, so that you can also be a little easier" Qin Feng still had this idea in his heart from the first time he came to the coffee house, after all, Xiaorou is an old employee, and it is not the case that she has been squeezing her. But what did Xiao Rou's weird eyes mean, as if she was looking at an idiot.
