Chapter 186 – Recruitment With Slow Progress
Since Yang Yi didn’t go see the house with his sister-in-law, he returned to the coffee shop. The big red notice seemed to be effective. When a pretty female student came to buy coffee and saw the notice, she ran over to Yang Yi with interest.
“Boss, are you really hiring here?” the pretty student asked excitedly. “My named is Zhou Yu, can I apply?”
Yang Yi raised his eyelids, looked at the opposite party, nodded and said, “Hmm.”
“What do you think about me, boss? I promise to attract more customers to your coffee shop!” Zhou Yu used her delicate jade hand to tuck her hair behind her ear and gave Yang Yi a charming wink.
The commotion here also caught the attention of two nearby tables of customers. Some girls disdainfully curled their mouths while some boys had shining eyes and couldn’t stop staring at Zhou Yu’s slender figure.
Yang Yi sized up the opposite party, but his expression didn’t change at all. He just said lightly, “Not very good.”
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, her fingers stuck in her ears, forgetting to put them down.
How could a man be indifferent to her teasing? After all, Zhou Yu was a campus beauty, as voted by her fellow students at the college.
“Why not?” Zhou Yu asked unwillingly.
“According to the recruitment notice, what I need is someone who is skilled in hand-crafted coffee techniques. Can you do it?” Yang Yi asked.
Zhou Yu nodded naturally and said, “Of course, I can make coffee. Isn’t it just tearing open the package, pouring it into a cup, then brewing it with hot water and stirring it? It’s that simple!”
Yang Yi looked at the opposite party indifferently, and someone nearby couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Did I say something wrong?” Zhou Yu turned around, looked at the person, and asked displeased.
“Of course!” It was a girl who wouldn’t indulge Zhou Yu. She proudly lifted her head and said, “The boss said to grind and brew coffee with coffee beans, not your kind of instant coffee powder! We also came for the boss’s handmade coffee, who wants to drink your instant coffee!”
Zhou Yu became angry and stomped her feet. She turned to Yang Yi and said, “Okay, boss, even if I was wrong, I can still skip doing this. I can help you serve the prepared coffee instead.”
If she had said she was willing to learn, Yang Yi might have had a higher opinion of her, but Zhou Yu gave Yang Yi the overall impression that she was frivolous, as if she wanted to apply for the job not to work but to experience life, to experience the novelty of being a waitress!
Yang Yi ignored Zhou Yu’s pitiful and coquettish expression, shook his head, and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Zhou, please go back!”
He refused cleanly, leaving no room for negotiation. Zhou Yu felt embarrassed and stomped her foot before leaving with a parting remark: “Hmph, you’re looking down on people. I won’t come back here again!”
Yang Yi didn’t even glance at her back. He stood calmly behind the bar, wiping his glass.
A few customers began to discuss with interest, and one of them, a pretty girl seemed to empathize and said to her companion with lingering fear, “The boss is so fierce!”
“He’s a bit strict, but he’s not a shrew. He just sticks to his principles, and I think that’s pretty cool!” The companion said with a smile.
Yang Yi didn’t pay attention to their discussion. He wiped his glass while thinking about whether he should recruit some formal employees. College students may not be able to do these jobs for long, and if they were all like Zhou Yu, with a playful mindset, then he would not be recruiting an employee to share his workload, but rather a master.
Just like the three British Shorthair kittens by his feet right now, they were the little masters!
Usually, Xixi would bring them to play crazily in the shop. Now that Xixi has gone to kindergarten, the three little masters could only bother Yang Yi. They were nibbling on Yang Yi’s slippers!
But Yang Yi still knew how to handle them. He took out a fluffy ball of yarn from his pocket and shook it a bit, immediately catching the attention of the three little ones.
“Go get it!” Yang Yi smiled slightly and rolled the ball of yarn from the counter.
Instantly, the three little ones, who had been staring blankly, transformed from being still to being in motion. Xiao Hui was the most active, leaping out first, and DuoDuo and Xiao Guai, not showing any weakness, followed closely. Three blue little figures hurriedly chased after the yarn ball.
…
“Prison Break” was in the midst of a hot serialization. From the plot two days ago, readers have learned from Michael’s conversation with his brother Lincoln when they met at night that Michael was in prison to rescue his brother.
Yesterday’s chapter had also been intense enough. Through a series of clever plans, Michael had even designed the former gang leader and now prison boss John Abruzzi to get himself punished and sent to the prison factory to work, thus gaining the opportunity to get close to his brother and cooperate with him!
Today’s plot, although not as exciting, still left the readers in shock.
“Have you ever seen the structural blueprints of the prison?” Lincoln was surprised, but still asked Michael incredulously.
Just as Lincoln turned his head to see what Michael was doing, he was surprised to see Michael unbuttoning his shirt. His originally clean and fair upper body was now covered in colorful tattoos.
“I didn’t just see it!” Michael said with a slight sense of pride as his mouth curled up, “I’ve had it tattooed on my body!”
The chapter had ended here, but readers still saw a new illustration, which was a close-up of Michael facing Lincoln. He had had a smug smile on his face, and his upper body bare, as if the deep blue tattoo was his underclothes!
This was the first time the front tattoo has been revealed to the public!
But what excited readers the most was that the tattoo, which has puzzled them for a long time, finally revealed its purpose!
It turned out to be the structural blueprint of the prison!
The investigating party members have already been cheering excitedly: “See, see! We said back in August that Yang Yi’s drawings were definitely not just for show. There was a deep meaning behind them, right? Before, people had said that these were just gimmicks, but now they had been proven wrong.”
However, not many people were willing to pay attention to these investigating party members who haven’t actually figured out anything.
What readers in the book review section were discussing was how these tattoos could possibly resemble the structural blueprint of the prison.
Some enthusiastic people have enlarged and screenshot both the front and back tattoos, and posted them in the book review section for top students in civil engineering to analyze.
However, even the top students were confused: “I can’t see it, where is the structural blueprint?”
These tattoos have been taken to universities to seek professors and experts to study them, but they have not been able to come up with an answer for a while.
“Where can ordinary people like you see the mystery of these patterns at a glance?” Some people supported Yang Yi, but the reason for saying it was also very reasonable, “If it were that easy to see, Michael would probably have had his tattoos removed before entering prison, right?”
Yes, if that was the case, the entire drama would just end…
Anyway, the serialization of “Prison Break” has already surpassed “Yu Zhui”, and not just on Qiyue’s online novel readers. More and more people were being recommended to read “Prison Break,” and once they start, they become fully immersed and couldn’t break free.
“Sure enough, the only one who could defeat Yang Yi is Yang Yi himself!” A reader joked.
