Chapter 649
“Xiao Yu, our boss’s son is indeed good, and I can see that he should really like you, but if you can’t get past the boss’s wife, everything will be for nothing.”
Seeing that Ji Xiaoyu was hesitant, the girl could not help but whisper in a low voice to console her, “If she comes and says something about you directly, where can you put your face? I’m afraid you won’t even get your salary for this month by then, how worthless would that be?”
“Xiao Hong, thank you for reminding me, but I really don’t have a relationship with Kuang Wei, if the boss’s wife really comes looking for trouble with me, I’ll make it clear to her, since her family can run a cafe, I’m sure it won’t be unreasonable.” Ji Xiaoyu said softly, “I can’t even stop doing my job just because I’m worried about her coming to look for trouble.”
Not far away, when Ji Feng heard Ji Xiaoyu say this, he couldn’t help but secretly nod his head, Xiao Yu had finally made progress, her originally soft character was finally considered slightly tougher, but this was still far from enough ah.
The first time I thought about it, Ji Feng couldn’t help but feel a slight twitch in his heart, was it really like that girl called Xiao Hong said? Could it be that she was in the middle?
If the girl called Xiao Hong liked Kuang Wei, but saw that Kuang Wei was usually very good to Xiao Yu, she should have some feelings in her heart. And at this time, the boss’s wife came over and Xiao Yu left on leave in fear. At this time, if Xiao Hong said something slightly in front of the boss’s wife, I believe that boss’s wife must have a bad impression of Xiao Yu.
Under such circumstances, if Ji Xiaoyu wants to talk to Kuangwei as a friend again, and if she is still in the capacity of an ordinary worker’s daughter, I believe that the boss’s wife should not be looking at Xiaoyu anymore.
–would that be the case?
Ji Feng’s gaze couldn’t help but turn to Xiao Hong’s face and carefully surveyed it.
After a few moments, he couldn’t help but shake his head slightly, from Xiao Hong’s face, all he saw was sincerity and worry, not a trace of cunning and resentment …… The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re getting into, and you can’t help but think that if you’re so young and your acting skills are so good, then she’ll be okay when she grows up. She must still play everyone else in a daze?
Ji Feng instantly chose to believe this Little Red, believing that all the things she said were true.
Then, this meant that that boss lady should really be of a sarcastic character, of course, this was only after Little Red had mixed in a lot of personal perceptions, however, this obviously also showed that the boss lady of this Dark Fragrance Cafe was definitely not someone with a good character.
“Xiao Yu, if you really don’t want to leave, how about this, let your brother pretend to be your boyfriend and deal with the boss lady first, at least to get this month’s salary, do you think so?” Xiao Hong was giving Ji Xiaoyu an idea, “Once the boss’s wife sees that you have a boyfriend, at most she will criticize you twice and not allow you to bring your boyfriend to the shop, but at least she won’t give you a hard time, right?”
Ji Xiaoyu was a bit tearful and nodded noncommittally.
“Little Red, right?”
Ji Feng suddenly spoke up, immediately startling Xiao Hong, “How did your boss’s wife know that her son was in a relationship with Xiao Yu …… Whether this thing is true or not …… How did she know?”
“You, you …… Did you hear everything we just said?” Xiao Hong was startled, her voice was very low just now, she could hear it even from so far away?
Seeing Ji Feng nodding slightly, Xiao Hong was a little dumbfounded.
Ji Feng couldn’t help but smile, more or less kind to this little girl, he laughed: “You haven’t told me yet, say how did your boss’s wife know about it?”
Little Red bristled, “It wasn’t that woman Zhou Jin who snitched.”
“It was her?” Ji Xiaoyu was stunned, “She’s usually not bad to me, she’s just a bit arrogant, but she’s not that bad!”
“Only you, a silly girl, are still in the dark.” Xiao Hong gave Ji Xiaoyu a blank look.
“Who is Zhou Jin?” Ji Feng frowned and asked. He found out that there seemed to be an inside story to the matter, and it was really complicated too.
“Zhou Jin is our front office foreman and the daughter of the manager of this cafe.” Little Red said, “She likes Kuang Wei herself and can’t see him treating Xiao Yu well, so it’s strange that she doesn’t snitch on him. Usually she doesn’t show it and seems to be nice to Xiao Yu, but several times when I was changing clothes I heard her secretly scolding Xiao Yu ……”
“How can she be like that!” Ji Xiaoyu said with some anger, “I, I didn’t offend her, why did she scold me?”
“Why else?” Xiao Hong bristled and whirled, “Xiao Yu, forget about that now, hurry up and think about what to do. Should we go and ask for leave now, or should we ask your brother to pretend to be your boyfriend and get this thing over with first?”
“This ……” Ji Xiaoyu was also a bit at a loss for words, where had she ever encountered such a thing, at this time she naturally had no half idea, and could only look at Ji Feng as if for help, “Third brother, what should I do?”
Seeing Xiao Yu’s aggrieved look, Ji Feng was slightly angered, but remembering that Xiao Yu’s character was too soft and still needed to be honed, he could only say with a hard heart, “Don’t be afraid, do what you have to do, if your boss’s wife is looking for trouble with you, then just tell her clearly.”
“Mm!” Ji Xiaoyu naturally had great trust in her third brother, she nodded seriously, “I will explain it clearly to her.”
Ji Feng smiled faintly.
Next to her, Xiao Hong looked dumbfounded, and she couldn’t help but mutter, “Really, Xiao Yu is still young, so it’s understandable that she doesn’t know what’s important, but you’re her brother, why are you also so ignorant of what’s important? What if the boss’s wife doesn’t pay Xiaoyu’s salary? That’s two thousand dollars, is it a small amount?”
Ji Feng laughed, “If you reason with her, she should give it, right?”
“Aiya, I really don’t know what to say about you …… Forget it, do what you want, Xiao Yu, I’ve warned you, you’d better reconsider, don’t be stupid.” Little Red stomped her foot and said somewhat anxiously.
Ji Xiaoyu was just about to speak when she suddenly heard a voice coming from the corridor in front of her, “What are you few doing? Ji Xiaoyu, why didn’t you change into your work clothes when you arrived? Who is this person?”
“Oh no, the vixen is here.” Xiao Hong muttered in a low voice, “Xiao Yu, hurry up and change your clothes.”
Saying that, she hurriedly called out, “Foreman Zhou!”
Ji Xiaoyu hurriedly called out after her as well.
Foreman Zhou?
Ji Feng was slightly moved in his heart, could this woman who spoke be the front office foreman that Xiao Hong just said, Zhou Jin?
He couldn’t help but look at the woman who spoke.
In the corridor, a woman was walking over quickly. This woman was wearing dark cafe work clothes and had a badge pinned to her left chest with her position and name written on it. When Ji Feng looked at her, it was obvious that this woman was the one Xiao Hong had spoken of – the front office foreman, Zhou Jin.
Ji Feng looked at the other party carefully, this woman was about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, not too tall, about one meter six, but her body was plump and looked very fleshy.
What caught Ji Feng’s attention the most was her looks.
This woman’s cheekbones were slightly high, her mouth was small, she was wearing bright red lip gloss, her chin was slightly pointed, and her eyes were long and narrow with the corners tilted slightly upwards, looking really like a pair of fox eyes.
Moreover, this woman walked, her body swayed, her face also had some charm, looking charming, but also some dusty breath ……
This kind of woman is the foreman of the front room, but also just right, it seems that she is not all relying on her father who is the manager, ah, she is very resourceful in her own right, and also has a lot of potential in this area.
“This gentleman, this is our backstage, guests please use the front door ……” Zhou Jin came to Ji Feng and smiled politely.
Ji Feng raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Sorry, I’m Ji Xiaoyu’s brother, not a guest here to spend money.”
“Oh?”
Zhou Jin was slightly stunned and then smiled, “I’m really sorry, this is the backstage of our staff’s operation, is the gentleman going to find a seat in the front hall and wait for a while? Xiao Yu may not have time to accompany you now.”
Ji Feng laughed: “Sorry, I’ll go out now.”
“Third Brother ……” Ji Xiaoyu hurriedly shouted, with a somewhat pitiful look.
Ji Feng shook his head slightly and smiled, “Xiao Yu, do a good job, I’ll find a seat at the front, come and talk to me when you’re free, forget it if you’re not.”
“Oh!”
Ji Xiaoyu nodded somewhat aggressively, Third Brother wasn’t helping himself either?
Ji Feng smiled, turned around and headed out.
Zhou Jin looked at Ji Feng’s back and turned around and laughed again, “Xiao Yu, hurry up and change your clothes, today the boss’s wife is coming to inspect, you have to behave well, maybe she will take a fancy to you and make you her daughter-in-law, giggle ……”
Ji Feng’s footsteps beat as he listened, then he walked out as if nothing had happened.
“I don’t want to.” Ji Xiaoyu said in a brittle voice. She was originally quiet in nature, even when she met someone she didn’t like, she didn’t know what to say.
The corners of Zhou Jin’s eyes jumped a few times, a cold aura flashed in her eyes, and then she returned to normal and laughed, “You really don’t want it? …… Giggle giggle ……”
She laughed delicately and swayed away.
“Hmph!”
Little Red peeked out her tongue, “Vixen.”
Ji Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, saying in a rare moment, “Exactly.”
Zhou Jin walked down the corridor and looked back at Ji Xiaoyu and Xiao Hong standing in the backyard and couldn’t help but curse, “Shameless little hoof, you really think you’re a princess? The young grandmother of Dark Fragrance must be me, who dares to snatch it from me, I’ll make her lose face.”
Ji Feng, who walked out of the side door, looked back and sneered darkly, “Today I want to be dark, who dares to bully my sister! If that Converse is really good …… Hey, this is something that little uncle and little aunt should worry about, they can’t manage it themselves.”
“However, definitely can’t let Xiao Yu suffer is all ……”
Chapter 650
Walking out of the side door of the cafe, Ji Feng went straight around the front and entered through the main door of the cafe again.
“Welcome.” A reception lady at the door immediately smiled politely.
“Thanks.” Ji Feng said with a smile. He had already recognised that this reception lady who spoke was one of those girls who had greeted Xiao Yu in the back hall earlier.
“Eh? So it’s Xiao Yu’s brother. ……” This reception lady also recognized Ji Feng and couldn’t help but purse her lips as she said, “Brother Xiao Yu, why isn’t he in the back with Xiao Yu?”
Ji Feng laughed: “I just came to see Xiao Yu’s working environment, I don’t want to drag Xiao Yu into scolding.”
“So it’s in this way, come on in.” That reception lady pursed her lips and smiled.
Ji Feng smiled as he walked in, found a seat and sat down.
At this time, a waiter immediately came over and said with a smile, “Handsome man, what would you like to drink?”
Ji Feng looked up and found that this girl who had come to entertain him was likewise one of the ones who had greeted Xiao Yu at the back earlier, and it was obvious that this girl had come to poke fun at him because he was Xiao Yu’s brother.
The first time I sat down here, I was attracting butterflies and making those girls cry and pounce on me, but these girls were probably interested in me because of my relationship with Xiao Yu.
“A cup of hot coffee …… Don’t add sugar.” Ji Feng looked at the list item, which stated the prices of various kinds of coffee and snacks, he ordered one at random and said with a smile.
“Okay, handsome brother will have to wait for a while oh~~~!” The girl said with a delicate smile.
Ji Feng smiled and nodded, “Please.”
The girl pursed her lips and smiled, turned her head and left.
Because it wasn’t the peak traffic period, there weren’t many customers in the cafe, and many of the waitresses in the front room were snuggled together, whispering and looking at Ji Feng who was sitting steadily like a mountain from time to time.
“Xiao Yu’s brother is quite handsome, oh.”
“Yeah, at first it looks a bit ordinary, but when you look closely, you realize that he’s really durable oh.”
“Che, that’s called temperament, okay?”
“He’s also quite handsome, just my type, if I didn’t have a boyfriend, I’d go after him.”
“Don’t be a nymphomaniac, such a handsome guy must have a girlfriend, how can you be the one to make a fuss?”
“Yuck! I just like handsome guys, I’m a nymphomaniac, what’s wrong?”
“Giggle giggle ……”
The group of girls were laughing delicately, laughing and trembling, but they were also secretly moved.
In fact, Ji Feng has a steadiness that does not match his age, and more importantly, he has a unique aura about him, sitting there with a feeling of non-anger and self-awareness, which looks to make people appear both cordial and awe-inspiring.
Such an aura is simply too manly compared to those young boys who dress more womanly than women nowadays. Especially since Ji Feng was not dressed in an old-fashioned way, but not too trendy either, it was this kind of ordinary dress that was more striking than other people of his age.
But these girls didn’t know that their whispers would be overheard by Ji Feng from time to time, making him cry and laugh.
He hadn’t really noticed before that he would be so popular among the little girls.
Of course, when Ji Feng heard it, he just laughed it off, most of these little girls were around eighteen or nineteen years old and it was the time when they liked to play around, so Ji Feng just listened to it as a joke.
“Don’t you guys have to work? All joking around here and the boss is paying your wages?” A voice with a slight hint of coldness suddenly came out.
Those girls were immediately startled, glanced at each other, secretly spat out their tongues and hurriedly walked away to work.
Ji Feng, however, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked sideways at the person who spoke. In fact, I didn’t need to turn around to know that the person who spoke was no other than Zhou Jin, who was called ‘fox spirit’ by Xiao Hong.
“And a really domineering woman ……” Ji Feng secretly said, and then looked into the back hall, but there was no sign of Xiao Yu, I guess she was still changing her clothes, or busy with other work.
Zhou Jin came to the front hall, scanned around and instantly saw Ji Feng sitting at a table, she hesitated slightly, her eyes rolled, then she walked over in a modest manner with a faint smile on her face.
“This gentleman, you are Xiao Yu’s brother, right?” Zhou Jin came across to Ji Feng and asked lightly.
Ji Feng couldn’t help but laugh dumbly, wasn’t this a knowing question? Just now in the back hall he and Zhou Jin had already met, and Zhou Jin already knew that he was Xiao Yu’s brother, and now she was asking this, what did it mean?
“Doesn’t it look like it?” Ji Feng asked indifferently.
“Of course not.” Zhou Jin said nonchalantly, “But I’m sorry, Xiao Yu has already started working and doesn’t have time to accompany you. And we are a business place here, sir it’s always bad for you to take up a position here …… How about this, you go back first, or go find a resting place nearby, and when Xiao Yu gets off work, you can come back to her, okay?”
The same time, Zhou Jin’s eyes flashed with an imperceptible look of contempt: really a country bumpkin, or a poor man, as ignorant as Xiaoyu, but still trying to pretend to be a rich boy, what is this big appearance sitting here? Does he really think he is a rich man?
In Zhou Jin’s opinion, Ji Feng’s so-called grand demeanour and calm demeanour that he displayed by sitting here in such a manner were all pretence.
Zhou Jin hates this kind of people, since you are poor, then you should honestly go and eat your hardships, go and do your labour, even if it is brushing dishes and washing dishes, doing hard labour and picking up rags, that is the life you should lead, what do you have to do to get into the pile of rich people?
Can you afford to live like a rich person?
Since you are a poor person, you should have the appearance of being a poor person, don’t think about pretending to be fat all day long, that will only make people despise you.
This ‘pretend’ atmosphere and composure of Ji Feng made Zhou Jin unusually despise.
Besides, Ji Feng was also in the way here, Zhou Jin had made up her mind that when she went to work, the boss’s wife would come down to inspect the place, so she would have to put on a good show in front of the boss’s wife, so that Xiao Yu, the poor man who insisted on posing as a princess, would get out of the cafe in disgrace and wouldn’t even get paid!
Don’t you want to be poor and pretend to be rich?
I’ll give you a taste of what it’s like to pretend to be a rich person, and you won’t even get paid.
But Ji Feng is here, in case this poor guy sees his sister being bullied and starts to go crazy, then there will be some trouble, and if she, the manager’s daughter, is pestered by such a person, what face will she have?
Therefore, Zhou Jin wanted to drive Ji Feng away.
She firmly believed that since Ji Feng was a poor man, he must not have ordered anything to drink if he was sitting here, and he must be embarra*sed to sit here. If he ordered something to save face …… Hmph, just with the price of this cafe, I’m sure it would make his meat hurt for a while, right?
While Ji Feng heard Zhou Jin’s words, he faintly frowned.
What kind of tone was this? Why did it sound so awkward?
Ji Feng asked indifferently, “What, you can’t sit here without ordering something?”
“Sir, I’m really sorry, if you were a customer, we would naturally welcome you strongly, but you’re …… Would you go and find a place to rest nearby?” Zhou Jin said nonchalantly.
Ji Feng couldn’t help but be amused, he was exasperated, “I’m sorry too, because I’ve already ordered something, you can go now.”
“You ……” Zhou Jin was stunned, seeing Ji Feng’s playful smile, she instantly turned ashamed and angry, her face flushed red with anger, she turned around and left with a huff, only dropping a sentence, “Then you take your time.”
“Bang!”
Ji Feng slapped the table violently and said in a cold voice: “What are you! Call your manager over, I’d like to ask, what kind of service attitude is that?”
Zhou Jin was instantly startled and turned around violently, looking at Ji Feng in annoyance, and then turned her head to look again and said in a low voice: “You’d better not make trouble here, I’m not bothering with you because you’re Xiao Yu’s brother, don’t be insensitive!”
“What?!”
Ji Feng looked at her in amazement, he was insensitive?
He was really amused and angry, he couldn’t help but shake his head slightly and waved his hand, “Let’s go, let’s go.”
Ji Feng really wasn’t half interested in talking to this woman any further, he was really afraid that he would also be infected with idiocy.
“Humph!” Zhou Jin, however, gave a proud hum and proudly turned around and left, as if she was a C*ckerel in a fight, looking at Ji Feng who simply didn’t know what to say.
“Sir, your coffee!”
Those waitresses saw that Ji Feng and Zhou Jin had an argument and hurriedly brought the coffee over, speaking in a slightly high voice, obviously not wanting to make Ji Feng look bad, and indirectly sweeping Zhou Jin’s face.
Sure enough, only to see Zhou Jin, who was leaving, couldn’t help but pause in his steps.
“Brother Xiaoyu, don’t be ordinary with this vixen, she is like this, looking down on the poor ……” The waitress lady said.
Ji Feng smiled and nodded, laughing, “I know, thank you ……”
“You’re welcome!” That girl instantly smiled slightly and then her face changed slightly, “Oops, the boss lady is coming down from upstairs, I have to go over there ……”
Ji Feng smiled and nodded at the girl as an expression of his gratitude, at least since he came to this Dark Fragrance Café, all the people Ji Feng had seen were people who had good intentions towards him, except for Zhou Jin, the foreman in the front room.
He then looked up at the stairway on the first floor, where several people were walking down the stairs, led by a woman in her forties, technically speaking, she should be considered a noblewoman, because the clothes she was wearing, were too luxurious!
