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

121 Sincere Conversation Between Workers

Luo Feng did not dare to imagine. With Ai Tingya’s full potential, wouldn’t it be possible for her to enter the top 500 in the world?

He held the card with joy. Did this mean that he was not far from being a freeloader?

“Hehe. Hehe.” Luo Feng held the card and imagined his future life of enjoyment. He could not help but laugh.

Seeing this, Ai Tingya asked curiously, “Why are you smiling foolishly? What’s the white card in your hand?”

Luo Feng put the card in his pocket and smiled. “It’s nothing. It’s just a prerequisite for our future.”

“You’re saying something I don’t understand again.” Ai Tingya pursed her lips and did not probe further. In any case, she trusted Luo Feng 100%. Even if it was some irrelevant words, Ai Tingya felt that Luo Feng had his own reasons.

The two of them had classes at night. They went to the shop to take a look before returning.

Ai Tingya put down the dinner she had packed along the way and said, “Everyone has worked hard today. We’re moving to the dormitory tomorrow. Everyone, coordinate your work hours.”

The single apartment that Luo Feng bought was ready-made. There was no need to renovate. They could just bring their stuff and move in. He also found someone to clean it up in advance today. He wrote the address of the new dormitory and left it on the table. The two of them went back to school first.

The six employees guarding the shop put down their work and surrounded the note Luo Feng had left behind, as well as a few photos of the room.

The 40-square-meter spacious room had a simple matching bed, wardrobe, tables, and chairs. Each room had an independent living balcony. The basic supporting facilities were complete.

“This address! Isn’t it only 20 minutes away? It’s even more convenient than where we live now!”

“Wow! Will we have a new dormitory soon?”

“As expected of the boss. He means what he says. He doesn’t even blink when he buys a building.”

“Is it really free? The boss and lady boss are too good!”

The few of them surrounded the table and praised it repeatedly. Their minds were completely focused on their new dormitory. They worked absent-mindedly and giggled at the same time. Other than a boy with a buzz cut who returned to his seat and focused on his work after satisfying his curiosity.

His name was Ke Xiaogao. He was also a child from the orphanage and was five years older than Ai Tingya. He had entered society early to work because he did not have much talent for studying. He had been muddling along his life because he had no education nor ability.

Later on, Ai Tingya opened a milk tea shop. She thought of Ke Xiaogao immediately, so she invited him back to work.

Ke Xiaogao was introverted and stubborn. He rarely spoke, but he was meticulous in his work. He was also one of the future store managers nurtured by Luo Feng.

He saw that everyone’s thoughts had long flown out and they had almost broken their glasses a few times. He understood everyone and said, “There aren’t many customers tonight. Why don’t you go back and pack your things first? I’ll close the shop later.”

The other employees were very tempted, but they felt that they would have let the boss and lady boss down if they left early. They hesitated and said, “But it’s not time to get off work yet.”

“It’s fine. There’s only half an hour left. Xiao Ai won’t say anything,” Ke Xiaogao said. “And the guests’ moods would definitely be affected seeing your states.”

Luo Feng had the intention to let Ke Xiaogao be the store manager, so he gave him the authority without worry. Ke Xiaogao could directly make the decisions on some small matters.

“Then… Alright.” The employees also felt that it made sense and said gratefully, “Thank you, Brother Ke. We’ll go back first!”

The few of them could not wait to put down their uniforms and flap their wings at the pigeons that left the cage. Their cheering backs reminded Ke Xiaogao of his time in the orphanage. He had also taken care of children younger than him like this.

Good Me’s business was not as good as before because the new milk tea shop at the entrance of the street had opened. Ke Xiaogao waited alone in the shop for 40 minutes, and only two or three customers entered.

At 9:10 pm, Ke Xiaogao slowly closed the door of the shop. He walked to the entrance of the street alone and saw seven to eight customers waiting at the entrance of the new milk tea shop.

Ke Xiaogao had worked in society before. He did not know if he was too unlucky or if his bosses were the same. All of them were good at squeezing his employees.

Therefore, he was very grateful to Luo Feng and Ai Tingya and had deep feelings for Good Me.

Ke Xiaogao naturally did not have a good impression of his opponent’s shop that had plagiarized his shop’s style. He felt angry just by passing by the door. Then, he quickened his pace.

Coincidentally, they bumped into the opposite employee coming out of the shop to pour dirty water. The two of them looked at each other and suddenly had a tacit understanding that whoever looked away first would lose. They were opponents after all. The employees of the two shops had met and knew each other’s identities.

After staring for more than 10 seconds, the employee smiled and pointed at an alley beside the shop, indicating for Ke Xiaogao to follow.

There were three trash cans lined up at the entrance of the alley. They were bottomless and black wild cats ran out. It was very strange. However, Ke Xiaogao was not afraid. He followed the employee with a heart that would never show fear.

“Don’t be so hostile.” He lit a cigarette for himself and handed one to Ke Xiaogao. “What does the bosses’ grudge have to do with us employees? Do you want one?”

“I don’t.” Ke Xiaogao didn’t expect the other party was here to dodge work and slack off. He glanced at the guests waiting in front of the shop and said, “There are so many guests waiting. Can you not help?”

He scratched his head in frustration and said to him. “There are people working in the shop. It’s not a loss without me. Look, you’ve already closed the shop and gotten off work. I still have to work until 10 pm. Pfft!”

He spat in frustration. He was very dissatisfied with the schedule set by his boss.

Seeing him like this, Ke Xiaogao opened his mouth but did not say anything. At the very least, he was very satisfied with Luo Feng’s work schedule. Would he be beaten up if he said it?

“Tsk, all the bosses in the world are the same!” He complained to his employees, “So don’t look at us so fiercely. Logically speaking, we’re all from the workers’ camp, right?”

Ke Xiaogao shook his head and said, “Our boss is not evil. He treats us as family.”

“Heh.” He laughed disdainfully at his employees, feeling that Ke Xiaogao was young and ridiculously naive.

“I’m telling the truth,” Ke Xiaogao said seriously. “Our boss bought a building for us as a dormitory. Everyone is entitled to a 40-square-meters singles apartment for free.”

“What? I have to rent my own place!” He was very dissatisfied with his employers.

He mocked Ke Xiaogao in an attempt to find balance in his heart, “I guess it should be very far. Single dormitories in the suburbs are much cheaper, but it’s a long ride.”

“It’s not far. We’ll be there in 20 minutes by foot.”

“Impossible!” He did not believe it. He rented a place that was relatively far away to get a cheaper place. He had to take a public bus for an hour and a half a day too.

He had heard that his boss was very rich, but why was he so stingy!

The employee swallowed and said in disbelief, “Your treatment is so good. Your salary should be very low, right? The boss likes to tear down the east wall and mend the west wall.”

“6,000 yuan should be fine, right?”
