Chapter 94: Everyone Is in Their Thirties and Forties

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The second floor of the dessert shop had private rooms, but they were separated by partitions. Since the rooms were not fully enclosed, there was not much privacy. They could easily see who was next to them as long as they stood up and walked a few steps. Apart from that, if they spoke too loudly, they could be easily heard by others.

For this reason, the customers did not stay for long. They sat down for a while and made small talk before they left. Before they left, they did not forget to bring their unfinished pastries with them.

Gu Yuwu had something to do so she arrived a little late. When she arrived, it was already dinner time. She saw Lin Xiaowan resting her chin on her hands and leaning against the counter, looking bored, as soon as she entered. She walked over and knocked on the counter as she said teasingly, “What are you doing? Are you sure you're open for business?”

Lin Xiaowan returned to her senses. When she saw Gu Yuwu, she perked up immediately. “You're here!”

Gu Yuwu nodded and asked, “How are the sales today? It seems a little deserted on this floor.”

Lin Xiaowan sighed. “The sales are good, and the desserts are selling well…” “Then, why are you sighing?”

Lin Xiaowan said as she furrowed her brows slightly, “I'm just confused. Everyone who came in today is in their thirties and forties… Are they really here for the desserts?”

The dessert shop had a membership system. Members would get a 15% discount. This was a common sales tactic. Almost all the customers who went upstairs today became members and topped up their cards. However, strangely, when they were reloading their cards, they felt that the amount of money was too little. It seemed as though they could not wait to put a lot of money into their cards.

Gu Yuwu laughed and said, “Let me have a look at the membership.”

Lin Xiaowan handed it over to Gu Yuwu, still perplexed.

Lin Xiaowan did not envision a luxury dessert shop when she opened it. The shop was decorated brightly and renovated in such a way that allowed sunlight to stream into the shop. Soothing music was also played in the shop. Lin Xiaowan envisioned the shop to be a place where lively young people hung out. Apart from that, the prices of the desserts were also jointly decided by her and Zhu Yingyue. Although the ingredients they used were expensive, the prices of the desserts were very reasonable.

After becoming a member, one could choose to reload the card with a minimum of 30 yuan and a maximum of 3,000 yuan.

Unexpectedly, the customers who came today asked very kindly if they could apply for ten membership cards and reload each card with 3,000 yuan. They said they wanted to give the cards to their family and friends.

When Lin Xiaowan told Gu Yuwu about this, Gu Yuwu asked, “Then what did you say?”

“I didn't say anything since they weren't asking me. What else can the staff say?” Lin Xiaowan said. Then, she imitated one of the salesclerks' expression and tone as she said, “I'm sorry but the membership is bound to your phone number. When your family and friends come, they can apply for a membership with their phone numbers.”

After that, Lin Xiaowan asked, “Did they really come for the desserts?”

“What do you think?” Gu Yuwu asked before laughing.

Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes. “Obviously they didn't!”

Lin Xiaowan's relationship with Huo Zheng was not a secret, and it was also not a secret that she opened a dessert shop. It took quite a while for them to open the shop due to the renovation. As such, there was a lot of time for the news to spread.

Lin Xiaowan thought about it for a moment before she asked, “What's the point of them coming today? They're not familiar with me, and I'm not familiar with them. There's no point in them coming today…”

Lin Xiaowan spent most of her time behind the counter today, observing the situation. When the customers came today, they were led upstairs by a worker, and the worker would take their orders upstairs.

Zhu Yingyue did not even show her face. After all, she was responsible for things like finance and management.

Those people wanted to use Lin Xiaowan to get closer to Huo Zheng, but they did not have a chance to do so at all.

Gu Yuwu said, “Who said there's no point? If there's a chance in the future, they can use this as a chance to make conversation…”

Lin Xiaowan shrugged. “I still don't understand them.”

“Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, it's a good thing that they came. They came to help you make money.”

Lin Xiaowan nodded. “You have a point. However, 1 hope the desserts don't go to waste…”

The men and women who came always packed the desserts before they left. Lin Xiaowan was puzzled. If they were going to take the desserts away, what was the point of sitting down? Why were they sitting down without eating the desserts?

At this time, Gu Yuwu asked, “Did you save my seat for me?”

Lin Xiaowan nodded. “Of course! 1 remember it's the one by the window.”

Gu Yuwu walked to the display and said, “Let me see what's delicious. I'll have some desserts before dinner. After I'm done, let's have dinner.”

“Okay,” Lin Xiaowan replied, “The patissiers were hired by Zhu Yingyue. They'll take turns working. Today's patissier is a handsome foreign middle-aged man. The desserts and pastries he made are really, really, really delicious! 1 had so many of them today!”

Lin Xiaowan was like a mouse that had fallen into a rice pot today. She ate to her heart's content. She really wished she could eat here for three meals a day every day.

Gu Yuwu shook her head and said, “You should restrain yourself a little. Also, be careful that you don't suffer from tooth decay.”

“I know,” Lin Xiaowan said as she led Gu Yuwu upstairs.

The decorations upstairs were slightly different from those downstairs. Carved mahogany partitions separated the tables. For privacy, curtains hung at the entrance of the booths. The style of the curtains was very cute, and it was obvious that Lin Xiaowan had chosen them.

A dark green floor-length muslin curtain with tassels hung by the window. The table next to the window was also the table that Lin Xiaowan had reserved for Gu Yuwu.

In the end, Gu Yuwu and Lin Xiaowan did not have dinner together. Huo Zheng came over to pick Lin Xiaowan up.

Lin Xiaowan had been texting Huo Zheng the entire day, telling him about everything that had happened today. However, it did not stop her from her repeating a few important points to him when she saw him again.

“Don't worry about them,” Huo Zheng said indifferently.

Lin Xiaowan nodded in agreement. “1 know. 1 don't know them so I'm just watching the show. However, although 1 don't know them, 1 know the purpose of their visit.”

Lin Xiaowan laughed before she continued to say, “When I'm watching them, it makes me feel like I'm sober while they're all drunk…”

“Are you tired today?” Huo Zheng asked with a gentle smile on his face.

“I'm not tired at all. By the way, Sister Cheng's friend came as well today. She is the one who makes perfumes. I told you about this before. She said that she would make changes to Sister Cheng's perfume for me so it'll be unique…” “Cheng Ruitong?”

“Yes,” Lin Xiaowan nodded and asked, “Do you know her?”

“We've cooperated before.”

“Sister Cheng wanted to come today, but she was too busy with work. In the end, she sent someone to bring me a gift..”
