Chapter 88: Chapter 88 Whoosh~Take off~

Lingmeng nodded in agreement, "Working in this kind of environment would certainly brighten one’s mood."

Lin Shuang, smiling mischievously, said, "Since I, as the boss, have provided you with such a great working environment, let’s just forget about the salary, shall we? You can’t have all the good things to yourself!"

"Boss! All is fair in jest, but one must not joke about salaries!"

Su Wan laughed, "Don’t scare our employees, Lin Dasha!"

"I’m just mingling with the employees, okay?" Lin Shuang spread his hands, "That’s what a caring boss would do."

Lingmeng raised her hand to speak, "A good boss is one who raises salaries!"

Fu Wenxue joined in the clamor, "A good boss is one who raises salaries!"

Yang Deyou scratched his elbow, smiling foolishly without a word.

Fu Wenxue slapped him, "You should join in the chanting too!"

He hesitated, then earnestly started chanting along.

Well, look at you, Yang Deyou, so easily betraying your good brother!

Lin Shuang was about to suppress the bunch of employees who were causing a ruckus even before the opening, but then Su Wan ran over with a laugh to sit next to Fu Wenxue.

She shouted, "A good boss is one who raises salaries!"

What are you doing adding to the commotion, boss’s wife!

Three employees plus one boss’s wife started chanting slogans together, quite in unison.

They looked like children sitting in a row waiting for the teacher to hand out candy.

What could Teacher Lin Shuang do, "Alright, alright, I’ll add an extra buck to your salary every month to buy candy."

Su Wan, putting on a voice, "To buy candy~"

Turns out the little mimic was contagious, with Lingmeng joining in, "Word by word, it’s so annoying!"

After a round of laughter and fun, they all got back to tidying up the shop.

Cleaning up, sorting out the knick-knacks and whatnot.

The first floor of Qing Mei Milk Tea Shop was pretty much ready to open for business at any moment.

This time, the second floor was not planned to be open to the public. Su Wan said to leave it for her to perhaps open a flower shop for fun in the future.

For now, the second floor was just cleaned up and had a small room.

Lingmeng propped herself on the broom and asked, "So when do we officially open?"

"Hmm? You seem quite eager to start working, don’t you?"

Lin Shuang had never heard such a request.

"The sooner we start working, the sooner we’ll get paid, right?"

This Lingmeng sure only had salary on her mind.

"It should be in the next day or two. Should we do some kind of promotional event?"

Su Wan pushed her mop over, "Excuse me, excuse me."

"That sounds like you’re a snack cart pushing through the train..."

"Beer, beverages, mineral water?"

"Peanuts, sunflower seeds, ham sausage!"

The two of them shared a smile.

Fu Wenxue, wiping the table with a rag, said, "During working hours, the boss and boss’s wife should stop flirting! So, should we have some kind of promotional event?"

Su Wan immediately took her mop and went after Wenxue, "Fu Big Face, come let the old lady flirt with you, don’t run!"

Yang Deyou’s gaze followed Fu Wenxue as she was chased by Su Wan; he suggested, "I’ve prepared a few promotional plans, I’ll send them to you, Big Shuang."

That’s why you can always rely on good brothers to get things done.

Lin Shuang waved his hand dismissively, "You are all mature employees now. You guys just discuss it amongst yourselves and give me the final plan."

"The boss really is the hands-off type, huh." Lingmeng, tired from sweeping, took a break with hands on hips. "Should we do like that super popular martial arts school before, and also get some uncles and aunties to beat gongs and drums?"

Lin Shuang, holding back a laugh, "Which martial arts school exactly?"

"You don’t know about it, boss? That martial arts school had an incredibly skilled Yong Chun Master—oh right, boss, you know Yong Chun too, don’t you?"

Lingmeng seemed like a blind person finally seeing the light, pointing at Lin Shuang, "Boss, you..."

Lin Shuang stroked his non-existent white beard, ready to confess, ah yes yes yes I am indeed that master, oh how embarrassing that you caught me.

Then, Lingmeng excitedly said, "Boss, so you must be a disciple of that master, right?"

Su Wan couldn’t help but snort with laughter.

Lin Shuang almost threw his back out, "How could I have such a dumb disciple!"

Hearing the word "disciple," Su Wan glared at Lin Shuang.

But she didn’t kick him, as there were others around, Wanwan still gave him some face.

Lin Shuang sensed the mood was off, and quickly changed the subject, "Alright, we’re done tidying up, let’s head out for the meal."

Fu Wenxue cheered from behind, "Off we go to eat!"

Lingmeng was confused but knew better than to bring up the master and disciple topic again.

She was still fixated on the idea of having elders beat gongs and drums, "So do we invite some uncles and aunties to make it lively for the opening or not?"

"That doesn’t fit with the style of our shop at all! Plus, as an iron-blooded secondary dimension fan, shouldn’t you be thinking of inviting cosers to strut their stuff or something?"

Lingmeng blinked her eyes, "Can we do that?"

"Sure thing, you’re a coser yourself, you just walk a couple rounds when the time comes."

Lin Shuang pulled Su Wan over, "And Wanwan, with Fu Wenxue, both of you are music students, right? You two can accompany her while she does an otaku dance on stage."

Su Wan slung an arm around his shoulder too, the two of them looking like close buddies.

"You exploitative boss, making the employees do everything for the opening ceremony, huh?"

Yang Deyou pointed dumbly at himself, "And what about me? What do I do, Big Shuang?"

"You, just suit up in an Ultraman costume and stand there, that counts as a coser too!"

Lingmeng looked left and right, "Serious? Boss, are you serious?"

Lin Shuang clapped his hands, "The more I think about it, the more I feel this idea could really work!"

"Boss, you can’t exploit your employees like that! I’m just a milk tea maker!"

"I’ll pay you an appearance fee, okay?"

Lingmeng immediately saluted crisply, "Consider the mission accomplished, boss!"

This little money-grubber...

Su Wan sighed with a hand to her forehead, "Aren’t we supposed to be a shop with an ancient Chinese tea theme? Are we really doing this type of opening ceremony?"

"As long as it attracts college students, that’s what matters!"

Lin Shuang felt more and more confident about the plan, "Alright, we’ll discuss it more closely when we get back, let’s go have our meal now."

Today, he was having a meal with these familiar milk tea shop employees - a celebration dinner for their soon-to-be-open tea shop.

Lin Shuang had already informed the little maid that he wouldn’t be coming home tonight, coincidentally she had maid training today, so she could just sort her own dinner with Yixin.

The dinner was booked at a barbecue restaurant—don’t ask why it’s barbecue again, definitely Su Wan’s doing.

This childhood friend does love her barbecue, must’ve been a slab of grilled meat in her past life.

Considering the value, an M9 Wagyu seems fitting, the kind everyone drools over when they see it.

"Here’s to our milk tea shop taking off~"

Su Wan picked up her glass to toast with everyone.

Lingmeng, the flat-chested one, approved the takeoff with zest, "Woo-hoo~ Taking off~"

If even the ’airport’ has approved it as flight-worthy, then it must be able to fly!

Everyone clinked their glasses together, "Take off!"
