Chapter 366 - Working in the dessert shop
Qi Changfeng laughed and replied, “Sure. Please wait a moment.”
“The boss is really a nice guy!” Gu Yan thought to herself while watching Qi Changfeng’s tall and straight back. Outside the window, it was getting late and the street lights were all on. Gu Yan enjoyed Annan City at night.
Not for a while, Qi Changfeng came over to Gu Yan with a tray.
On the tray was a dessert with a delicate decoration, which whetted Gu Yan’s appetite. “You made it?” Gu Yan asked in surprise.
Qi Changfeng replied, “Of course. I can run this shop very well only by myself.”
“I didn’t expect that you are good at baking.” Gu Yan said in surprise.
“Miss, you would be perfunctory if you didn’t try it first.” Qi Changfeng said resignedly.
Gu Yan chuckled and said, “I have never seen such a nice dessert. It must be delicious.”
“Now I can’t wait to try it.”
Gu Yan picked up a spoon and gently ladled a spoonful of the dessert into her mouth. The sweet jam on the dessert immediately filled her mouth. The dessert was very fluffy.
Gu Yan was amazed at the taste of the dessert. She ate almost nothing, so she felt so happy when tasting such a delicious dessert!
Gu Yan gulped down the dessert quickly. She completely forgot that there was a person standing next to her. She was so embarrassed and wiped her mouth with a tissue at once.
“I am sorry. I have to say that your dessert is amazing. Therefore, I just enjoy it…” Gu Yan smiled awkwardly and said to Qi Changfeng.
Gu Yan blushed when she remembered her bad table manners. She was so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole to hide in.
Qi Changfeng just smiled lightly and said to her, “The satisfaction of a guest is the greatest affirmation to me. You don’t need to apologize.”
Qi Changfeng still acted warmly and gently. Gu Yan came to be curious about what he would be like if he was in anger.
Qi Changfeng handed the juice to Gu Yan and said, “Here you are. You eat so quickly and I guess you must be thirsty.”
Gu Yan playfully stuck her tongue out and started to sip the juice.
Qi Changfeng stared at Gu Yan and thought that she was really a cute girl. Now he was more obsessed with her, because the more he knew about her, the more surprises he got.
Looking at Gu Yan who was drinking the juice, Qi Changfeng asked, “Excuse me, may I sit here?”
Qi Changfeng pointed at the seat opposite to Gu Yan.
Gu Yan said, “Come on. The whole shop is yours. Why do you ask me that? You can sit wherever you want!”
Qi Changfeng didn’t mind her words and sat opposite to Gu Yan with a warm smile.
“May I have your name, please?” Qi Changfeng asked.
Gu Yan was amused by Qi Changfeng, “Well, would you like to introduce yourself before asking a lady’s name?”
Qi Changfeng was frozen for several seconds and cleared his throat. Everyone knew him in his social circle. Therefore, he already got used to asking people’s names first without making a self-introduction in his social life. That was why he forgot social etiquettes and said that to Gu Yan.
“Oh, I’m sorry. Please allow me to introduce myself. I’m Qi Changfeng and I’m a local here, making living by running this dessert shop.” Qi Changfeng finished. He looked up at Gu Yan to show that it was her turn.
Qi Changfeng left a good impression to Gu Yan. Then she just said without any hesitation, “My name is Gu Yan and I come from City A. Now I’m unemployed.”
Actually, Qi Changfeng had already got all the basic information about Gu Yan, including her name, age, birth place and the like. He also knew that she got off the plane today and had no job.
However, Qi Changfeng didn’t know why Gu Yan came to Annan City. Traveling or settling out in Annan City? He was not sure. Qi Changfeng thought she came here perhaps because she wanted to settle out in this city because he got nothing after checking all the hotel reservation records all around the city. If she came here to travel, she would book a hotel.
However, Qi Changfeng was confused when he saw Gu Yan just took a suitcase and a bag with her, so Qi Changfeng said tentatively, “Annan City is a beautiful city and is a nice place to travel.”
Gu Yan smiled and said, “I’m going to settle out here.”
Qi Changfeng pretended to be surprise, “Really? But it doesn’t look like that you are going to live here.”
Gu Yan just smiled to him and said nothing. After all, to Gu Yan, Qi Changfeng was just a stranger.
Qi Changfeng thought for a while and said, “Miss Gu, actually I want to hire a waitress. Now you are unemployed. Do you want to have a try?”
Gu Yan smiled politely and said, “A waitress? Thank you. I’m not thinking about looking for a job because I haven’t found a place to live yet.”
“Miss Gu, to be exact, I’m looking for a manager who has the ability to run the shop well. I have other fish to fry, so I need someone who can do that for me. What’s more, I can offer you a room upstairs if you don’t mind.” Qi Changfeng said.
Gu Yan joked, “How can you trust someone you’ve just known for less than a day? Aren’t you afraid that I steal all the things here?”
Qi Changfeng said with a smile, “I am able to discover able people and I know that you are very capable. You may think it will waste your talent in such a small shop. If I do not find that you want to have a simple life, I will not ask you.”
Gu Yan could feel Qi Changfeng’s sincerity. In fact, Gu Yan thought it was a good choice for the moment. She did not even have a place to live now. Now he could provide her with a place to live and a plain job, which was very in line with her own requirements.
“Um… But if I want to leave?” Gu Yan said.
Qi Changfeng replied immediately, “You can leave at any time you want. It’s up to you.”
Gu Yan thought for a while and said, “All right. Thank you so much.”
Qi Changfeng chuckled and said, “I didn’t expect to hire such a nice employee. How lucky I am!”
