Chapter 286   – “Many called and said they want to invest in the expansion of our coffee shop.” (3)

Boss Zhou finally casually turned the cellphone off, gave her come compliments, and pulled her up, “Let’s go to bed. We need to get up early to catch our flight tomorrow morning.”

With her cellphone in the boss’s hand, Yan Shuyu had no choice but to follow him to bed and did as she was told – her cellphone charging on the nightstand and she laid down to go to bed.

As usually, she fell asleep quickly and dreamed about her stardom.

They headed over to the airport first thing the next morning and it was still morning when they landed in the international airport back in China. The boss, who was always full of energy, took a quick shower and headed back to work in high spirit. Yan Shuyu, on the other hand, wasn’t going to push herself that hard. She had been running around a lot in the last few days. It was fun, but also extremely tiring. She napped with the kiddos until the aunty woke them up for lunch.

Yan Shuyu hadn’t paid too much attention to what was going on on the web ever since the boss had taken away her cellphone last night. In fact, she had only logged into WeChat when she was having lunch. As she was famed online, many friends had reached out to her on WeChat but she only replied to Yang Zifeng as his was the most urgent of them all. He had already sent her over 10 messages since the night before with the last few asking whether she was home yet, whether she was resting, and to get back to him once she was rested.

She could feel his urgency even through the cellphone screen. As such, he was the first one that she responded back to.

Yan Shuyu put down her cellphone and returned to eating after she had responded back to him. After she finished eating 10 or so minutes later, the door bell rang. The aunty went over to check. Then, she smiled and turned around. “It was Mr. Yang from downstairs.”

All of the aunties already knew that their downstair neighbor was a good friend of Miss Yan and most of them had seen Manager Yang coming over with Tongtong before. Yan Shuyu was more or less done eating, so she picked up a tissue and said, “Oh, let him in.”Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi, too, were done eating. Yan Shuyu figured that her little buddy must have rushed over because there was something specific that he wanted to talk about. As such, she sent the kids to their room to play games or watch cartoons, or even practice their piano together. For sure they would not need to nap this afternoon.

The kiddos went upstairs docilely and the aunty brought Yang Zifeng inside. When he saw Yan Shuyu, he let out a sigh. “Yanyan, you guys are back finally.”

Yan Shuyu was surprised that he was over there as well. “Didn’t you say our shop is famed now? Shouldn’t you be super busy right now? How come you are over here?”

Manager Yang plopped down on her couch like an old friend. Wiping away the non-existing sweat, he said, “It is very busy. That’s why I come here to hide out.”

That sounded like there was more behind it. She sat down also and asked, “What’s going on?”

“You still don’t know?”

Yan Shuyu blinked blankly at him and Manager Yang waved his hand. “We can talk about that later. All in all, your popularity still hasn’t come down and your name and our coffee shop are talked about all over the place. Customers come rushing in and lots of media as well. Many who I know or don’t know called me and offered to invest and expand our shop.”

“That’s sounds great.” Yan Shuyu didn’t have a lot of work experience but she wasn’t an idiot. She at least knew that having investors meant money rolling in. As such, her little buddy’s reaction was confusing to her. “Why are you hiding out then?”

“But these people are not idiots. They have conditions for their investments.”

“Bad terms?”

“Many of them are negotiable but key is they wanted me to keep you. They know that you are just a part-timer who can leave at any point and asked me to find a way to keep you. That’s the condition for their investment.” Manager Yang summarized it, “To put it bluntly, they just want to leech off of your popularity.”

Yan Shuyu nodded. She finally understood why her little buddy was looking for her urgently. Too bad her job right now was so presentable with high pay. Naturally, she would not be returning to the coffee shop.
