Chapter 7: Unknown
"Oh? I remember...... It was an aunt here before, and the store was closed for a while ......" the female college student had a confused expression.
"Aunt Li died of illness and left the bubble tea shop to me." Meng Lin explained a few words to the female college student.
"Oh...... That's right...... Aunt Li is very nice......" the female college student sighed.
"But I have already obtained the true biography of Aunt Li, and the milk tea I make is as natural and delicious as Aunt Li's milk tea." Meng Lin changed the topic and made a gesture of invitation to the female college student.
The female college student took a sip of red soybean milk tea, and showed a very satisfied look on her face: "It's really good, it tastes the same as before." ”
"Welcome to come here often to drink milk tea in the future, we are so fateful, and I will invite you to milk tea in the future." Meng Lin brought it up to the female college student.
"I haven't asked your name yet." The female college student looked at Meng Lin.
"Meng Lin, Mencius's Meng, the forest of the woods. What about you? Meng Lin introduced himself to the female college student and asked her a question in passing.
"Won't it?" The female college student looked surprised.
"What's wrong?" Meng Lin was a little surprised by her reaction.
"Nothing." The female college student shook her head, but her face turned red again.
"You haven't told me your name yet." Meng Lin reminded the female college student again.
"I ...... My surname is Lin and my name is ...... Lin Meng. The female college student replied to Meng Lin, but her face turned even redder.
"Lin Meng? Oooh...... Haha......" Meng Lin laughed.
No wonder she had that look on her face.
The two are really fated! One is called Meng Lin and the other is called Lin Meng, this coincidence...... It's unbelievable!
"Do you have part-time jobs in the store?" Lin Meng was silent for a moment and brought it up to Meng Lin.
"Move! I couldn't keep myself busy at all, and I could have opened early in the morning, but I didn't finish the preparations until noon. Meng Lin nodded.
"Are there any requirements for part-time jobs?" Lin Meng then asked.
"I come when I have time after class, hourly salary, daily settlement. $30 per hour, bonus ...... Look at the business situation and the mood. Meng Lin thought about it and replied to Lin Meng.
When he was working here, Aunt Li gave him and other employees an hourly wage of 20 yuan per hour, which was paid daily. But when the store is very busy and business is good, he will also send him WeChat red envelopes privately, with varying amounts.
Meng Lin felt that it would be better for his business management to continue the style of Aunt Li at the beginning.
"I can come over to help when I don't have classes, there will be more time in the afternoon and evening, and I can come all day on weekends, I think I meet your recruitment conditions?" Lin Meng mentioned it to Meng Lin.
"No problem! With you in the store, business will definitely be much better. Of course, Meng Lin agreed.
He originally wanted to recruit some college students to help in the store part-time, and of course he couldn't ask for a beautiful woman like Lin Meng, even if he didn't work, it was very good to look at it every day.
"Why?" Lin Meng's puzzled expression.
"You look so beautiful, it is estimated that there will be customers who will buy you a few more cups of milk tea." Meng Lin smiled.
"I ...... I came here to work part-time, and I didn't want my classmates to see it, so I ...... I actually want to come over and help you make milk tea, but I don't greet customers in the store......" Lin Meng mentioned it to Meng Lin with some euphemism.
"That's right...... It's okay, but speaking of which, making milk tea is much harder than greeting customers, especially when you're busy, you have to keep operating all kinds of machines, can you stand it? Meng Lin didn't have much of a problem with this.
If someone helps make milk tea, he will be much more relaxed.
"I didn't grow up pampered, and if I want to make money, I should work hard." Lin Meng shook his head.
"Okay, when you come to work, I'll teach you how to make milk tea." Meng Lin nodded.
"That's settled, I've got some things to do, I think...... The day after tomorrow, I'll report to the store. Lin Meng saw that Meng Lin agreed to her request, and he seemed very happy.
"Okay, you're welcome to come over at any time."
The two talked for a while, and Lin Meng stood up and prepared to leave.
Meng Lin sent her out of the store, watched her disappear around the corner, and then returned to the bubble tea shop.
"Hehe, be your own boss, run a bubble tea shop with a little beauty, the life of an otaku's dream!"
Thinking that Lin Meng was about to come to the bubble tea shop to work part-time, Meng Lin's mood was inexplicably good.
"Oops! I forgot to ask her for her phone number! Meng Lin patted his head again, with a depressed expression.
……
The rain kept falling at night, and it was not small.
At around eight o'clock, Meng Lin felt that there would be no more business, so he closed the door of the store early and pulled down the roller shutter.
Sitting by the window of the bedroom on the third floor with a cup of milk tea, sucking the delicious milk tea while watching the heavy rain falling outside, Meng Lin felt very satisfied and comfortable in his heart, and he was extremely grateful to Aunt Li.
Recalling the years spent with Aunt Li, Meng Lin always couldn't hold back his tears.
For two years after graduating from university, he stayed in the cable company in Africa, although he was a translator, he also had a lot of chores on weekdays, which was very tiring.
Moreover, because of safety issues, he did not dare to leave the company at all, and he could not return to China because of the signed contract, and it felt like a prison sentence for those two years.
After two years of hard work, most of the salary promised to him by the company was also deducted by various excuses, and when he returned to China, Meng Lin could almost be said to be penniless.
As a college student who has just graduated, he is helpless, and he can only consider himself unlucky when he encounters this kind of thing.
Meng Lin, who was still worried about finding a job to make a living after returning to China, did not expect that the deceased Aunt Li left him the milk tea shop and savings, so that he could work, eat, and sleep.
On such rainy nights, he no longer has to run around and curl up in the streets like an ant tribe. Instead, you can sit by the window very comfortably, watch the rain while drinking milk tea, and be a quiet ...... Otaku.
There is also a chance to recruit a beauty like Lin Meng to the store to get along day and night, and maybe there will be some sparks of love in the future, and by the way, his lifelong event will be solved.
All of this was given by Aunt Li.
……
After drinking milk tea, Meng Lin picked up his mobile phone and played the game again.
There are many excellent mobile games in China, and when I play abroad, I often have a bad signal and drop the connection, and I am scolded by my teammates. When I return home, I don't have to worry about this kind of problem, and it feels so good to play.
When playing the game, I couldn't feel the passage of time at all, until an unfamiliar mobile phone ringtone pulled Meng Lin out of the game world.
It was the guest's lost black phone ringing.
The number is shown as 'Unknown'.
