Chapter 29 He wanted to steal the favor

  Yan Tao hesitated for a moment, then said in a tone that was obviously more relaxed than before: "I'm currently a freshman, and the school doesn't have any other arrangements. I don't have anything important to do at home either, so I thought about staying in B City and finding a temporary job near school to gain some social experience. Because all the other stores on this street don't hire summer workers, only Wen Jie was willing to take me in. So..." He didn't finish speaking, just smiled and revealed a set of neat white teeth.

  "Originally you're not a local?" I was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "The summer vacation of freshman year is indeed not ordinary leisure time, no wonder a tall, strong, handsome and elegant university student like you would come to a dessert shop to work as a waiter, it's really a waste of talent, I feel honored to be with you."

  In my opinion, the adjectives used to describe his appearance are obviously exaggerated, but I still say it with a straight face - after all, we're all people from the same store. Occasionally compromising one's conscience can also help promote team spirit and love, right?

  Yan Tao's wheat-colored face suddenly turned red, and he stuttered: "Boss lady is bullying me, I can work here. I just met Rong Yanchen."

  I'm really shocked now, even Cheng Qiao, that harmless "little white face", has never blushed in front of me before. Yan Tao, who looks so heroic and masculine, actually blushed for the first time when we met. I just thought he was a little aggressive, but now he's instantly overturned into a pseudo-aggressive person.

  I sincerely asked him: "Yan Tao, is it that whenever I praise you, you blush?"

  "No... it's not that I'm actually very rarely blushing, this... " Yan Tao's face turned even redder, "it depends on the person..."

  Before he could finish speaking, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a tall figure pushing the door open in my peripheral vision, and immediately waved at the newcomer with joy: "Good morning, Xiao Qiao."

  Far, far away. Cheng Qiao smiled and said: "Good morning, Aunt Wen, good morning, Ah Yao."

  Auntie also smiled and nodded in response, saying "early".

  "Didn't you oversleep today? Haven't had breakfast yet? I've ordered takeout for you," I said with a smirk, propping my chin up on the counter with one hand. "Look at how considerate this boss is."

  Cheng Qiao pursed her lips and raised her hand: "Is this what Ah Yao said? I happened to be passing by, and the people there were busy, so I just took it back with me."

  Seeing the three take-out boxes in his hand, I was speechless: "The boss of the stir-fry noodle shop is really good at saving labor."

  Cheng Qiao walked up to the counter. He put down his takeout and shifted his gaze to Yan Tao, who was standing beside him: "Who is this?"

  I was about to introduce him, but just noticed that Yan Tao is almost in a petrified state. Suddenly, I felt a sense of pride and another comrade who was struck by Qiao's beauty like a broken bamboo.

  "He's called Yan Tao, the new waiter we just hired." I paused for a moment and used the dessert menu to tap Yan Tao's shoulder forcefully. "Hey big bro, snap out of it!"

  Yan Tao suddenly came to his senses and looked at us with a embarrassed expression on his face.

  Cheng Qiao smiled and stretched out her hand: "Hello, I'm Cheng Qiao."

  "My name is Yan Tao."

  I let out a couple of dry laughs: "You guys don't have to make it like a blind date, okay? Yan Tao, let me introduce you briefly. Xiao Qiao is also a student from University Town and is one of our... old employees." As I said these three words, I couldn't help but feel a bit amused myself, and continued, "But if there's anything you don't understand, it's best to ask Yun Jie and the others, because Xiao Qiao has a lot of things he doesn't need to do here. And he's very popular with female customers, so these next few days you'll have to get used to a completely different environment. You must be careful, okay?"

  "Yao Yao is right," Auntie said thoughtfully, "those old customers haven't seen Cheng Qiao for several days, and today's situation might get a bit out of control. It seems that not only the new service staff, but we all need to be careful."

  Yan Tao looked at Cheng Qiao with a shocked expression: "So exaggerated?"

  Qiao didn't respond, silently took out a box of fried noodles from the plastic bag and handed it to Auntie, then handed another one to me, saying in a low voice: "Why don't I stay in the kitchen today to help Yao?"

  "That's not going to work," I bluntly rejected his suggestion, "You're our lucky charm now, hiding you away would be intentionally burying talent, wouldn't it?" After finishing speaking, I directly sat down, opened the packaging box and muttered in puzzlement, "Why does the fried noodle shop's box look different from before..." I suddenly stopped, "What is this thing? Xiao Qiao, did you pick up the wrong one?"

  Cheng Qiao shook her head and said with a bitter tone, "A Yao just recovered from a cold and his throat is still hoarse, so it's not suitable for him to eat stir-fried noodles that can cause internal heat. So I considerately changed it to steamed dumplings." After finishing speaking, she smoothly bypassed Yan Tao and sat down beside me at the counter.

  My mouth twitched.

  "Xiao Qiao is really considerate, I didn't even think of that." Auntie laughed and asked Yan Tao, "Has Xiao Tao had breakfast?"

  "Oh, I've already eaten on the way here. Wen Jie, you guys eat slowly, I'll go clean up first." Yan Tao said after putting away the sign-in book and smiled at me again, "Boss's wife, eat slowly too."

  I also smiled kindly at him: "You've worked hard."

  As I watched Yan Tao's figure head towards the bathroom, I leaned my head over to Auntie and said, "Yan Tao seems like a very diligent person."

  Aunt nodded: "These days he is always the first to arrive and the last to leave."

  I closed my eyes and smiled: "After all, it's Auntie's discerning eye that's good, casually recruiting someone who is both internal and external, a good material."

  "Come on, eat quickly, if the guests arrive later and see us still eating, it won't be good."

  I nonchalantly stuffed a steamed dumpling into my mouth and mumbled, "What's the big deal? I've eaten snacks in front of guests before, and it's not like they'd notice us with Qiao here anyway."

  But anyway, I quickly finished off ten steamed buns because later on I still had to go into the kitchen to make desserts.

  At this time, the employees in the store also arrived one after another. Yun Jie and several old employees were overjoyed when they saw me and Cheng Qiao, and after exchanging a few excited greetings, they went about their own business. As for the remaining two new employees, since it was their first meeting, they reacted to Cheng Qiao in the same way as Yan Tao had previously.

  But after seeing them, I really suspect that my aunt is also a color control theorist.
