After a while, Mi Cai and I entered the coffee shop. The air conditioning heat that came over us gave us a unique feeling. At this time, the boss lady who had been watching movies on the computer discovered our arrival. She stood up to greet her... I introduced Mi Cai to her. Like everyone else, when she first met Mi Cai, she was also surprised, wondering why a woman's facial features can be so delicate and her temperament is so unconventional.

The three of them sat down near the window and did not immediately get to the point. Instead, they talked about the cc pseudonym "Rose Patient". The boss told us that Rose Patient was singing in her coffee shop that day. She recorded the song very carefully and played it for me and Mi Cai. This made Mi Cai and me feel sad again, because this song was the first time I took Mi Cai to the restaurant in the empty city. But this time, she sang very sad and painful. She didn't even use singing style in the middle, but was telling... I judged that her first stop after leaving Suzhou was Xuzhou, which was the time when she was the saddest!

I thought of Robben and Wei Manwen again... It seems that their tragedy is all because of misbelieving in the lie that giving up is great, and after giving up, none of them are happy anymore.

After a moment of silence, I remembered what I was doing this morning in a melancholy mood. I finally got to the point and said to the boss lady sincerely: "Let's talk about the coffee shop... After I got home last night, my girlfriend and I discussed it and thought it was still possible to run this coffee shop well, so I will talk to you today... First of all, I expressed that I can accept your transfer fee of 100,000 yuan, and I didn't plan to negotiate again, but our deposit is only 50,000 yuan now, so see if you can use installment payments..."

The boss’s wife has not made any statement yet, and Mi Cai added: “If you can accept it, it will be a big help. If you think it is inconvenient, we will think of other solutions. We are very sincere in taking over this coffee shop.”

The boss's wife weighed it a little, smiled very friendly, and said to us: "I am a person who believes in fate. Since we are so destined, I am certainly willing to help with such a little care like installment payment. Moreover, my husband has no confidence in this coffee shop. He asked me to close the shop all day long, and it doesn't matter whether he transfers it or not. He asked me to focus on taking care of the children... Now you are willing to take over, which is also a helping me. I hope you can bring this coffee shop back to life, which can continue my little idea. In the future, there will be a chance to drink coffee in the coffee shop that I have devoted my thoughts."

Mi Cai and I looked at each other, and both read some joy in each other's eyes, and promised the boss's wife that we would definitely run this coffee shop well.

The boss's wife seemed to have a thought and said to us: "Let's do this, you pay a deposit of 20,000 yuan first, and leave 30,000 yuan for daily operation of the coffee shop. From now on, I will pay 5,000 yuan to me in installments every month until it reaches 100,000 yuan. Do you think it's okay?"

I was worried about the daily cost after taking over the business, but the boss's wife took the initiative to give me such a large space and expressed her gratitude from the bottom of her heart again. The same is true for Mi Cai. We didn't expect that she trusted us so much, or that she was also a woman with dreams, but she didn't have the ability to realize her dreams, so she put the continuation of her dreams on us, and these small money was not that important to her!

In the afternoon, we drafted a transfer contract, and then we withdrew 20,000 yuan in cash to the boss's wife. The operating rights of this coffee shop were transferred to me, but I did not relax a little. Sometimes whether the ideas can become reality requires strong execution. There are many risks that are not planned. Management is really a science, not a matter of course.

I decided to temporarily close the coffee shop for five days because I had to make some minor changes, including changing the store name, changing the store sign, and recruiting baristas because I don’t know how to mix coffee and other drinks. Moreover, I need to have a lot of time to contact various photography stores in the city to get them to accept my ideas as soon as possible and open up the store’s popularity.

The business format is very serious, because the boss’s wife reserved me 30,000 yuan of funds, which can only last for two months at most. In other words, I must make a profit within two months. The difficulty is self-evident, and I need to have the awareness of racing against time...

......

This night, I was working on my computer with the cost budget and sales plan for the coffee shop within two months, while Mi Cai improved the photo shoot this afternoon, and soon it was late at night. We temporarily stopped the work and exchanged views while eating the midnight snacks sent by my mother...

I asked her, "Actually, I'm quite curious. Why did you choose to be Xiao Yun's assistant, although I know this is only temporary."

Mi Cai smiled slightly and said, "You know, I have been at Zhuomei's top management. It is difficult to change my usual work style at once. I understand that it is difficult for me to accommodate my boss in a short period of time. I am afraid that my boss will need to accommodate me. How can this be possible? ... And Xiao Yun is an acquaintance, so you don't have to pay too much attention to the relationship between superiors and subordinates at work. It is relatively easier to get in. I also hope that in this state, I can adapt to the current working environment as soon as possible and change my inherent thinking... The most important thing is, isn't you what you hope to follow Xiao Yun?"

After Mi Cai said this, I really realized why I supported her decision so readily at the beginning, because it was a decision that made me feel very secure. Assuming that her superior was a strange man, no one could guarantee whether he would have any ideas about Mi Cai beyond his work. And by Li Xiaoyun, I had no worries about this at all. Besides, with Li Xiaoyun and she was in the same company, she didn't have to be so lonely. As she said herself, she was used to being in a high position and it was difficult to take the initiative to cater to others.

Her temporary choice is beneficial to me and also reassures me, so this is a valuable advantage in her. Her mind is more delicate and has a greater view of the overall situation than ordinary women... But seeing this, I remembered the mistake I made when I was in Suzhou. It was because I didn't believe in her vision and obstructed her again and again, so that Fang Yuan and Xiang Chen had an opportunity to take advantage of it, and finally lost Zhuomei... And I can't be sure whether her life is what she wants now, and whether she is really happy.

Mi Cai seemed to see through my thoughts and asked, "Zhaoyang, what are you thinking?"
