It was the third day of business for the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop.
When Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong went to open the shop that morning, they discovered twice as many people waiting outside as there had been the day before.
"So this is the power of trending online?"
Qin Sitong leaned in and whispered in Yun Zijin’s ear.
"Who knows? Just have your bodyguards clear a path for us!"
’With so many people crowded here, aren’t they worried about a stampede!’
Without waiting for Yun Zijin’s command, Zero One and his men, already familiar with the drill, formed a human wall around Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong, forging a path for them through the crowd.
"Everyone, please get in line! We’re about to open!"
Qin Sitong raised her voice, shouting at the pushing and shoving crowd.
The crowd instantly stilled, then obediently formed a single line.
"Ma’am, I’m not here to buy milk tea. I’m here for the job opening..."
Everyone else had gotten into line, leaving only one extremely haggard-looking woman standing off to the side.
A moment later, however, she explained her reason for being there.
Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong both looked at her. "For the job opening? In that case, please wait a moment. I need to take everyone’s order first."
’I can’t believe someone’s already here to apply just one day after we put up the hiring notice.’
"Of course! It’s no problem. Please, you two go on with your work."
After saying that, she stood quietly to the side without another word.
"Um... please, find a seat and wait. I’m not sure how long this will take."
There were obviously many more customers than yesterday, and Yun Zijin worried she would be too busy and keep the woman waiting for a long time.
"I... I’m fine. Please, don’t worry about me."
The woman still didn’t take a seat, instead standing pressed against the wall, trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible.
Yun Zijin didn’t have time to tend to her at the moment, so she could only let the woman stand there. However, she did speed up the process of taking orders.
Aside from the newcomers who had seen the shop trending online and came to see the commotion, most of today’s crowd were regular customers. They had decided what they wanted long before reaching the counter, so when it was their turn, they ordered immediately. This sped up the process considerably.
Seeing this, the new customers followed suit out of a herd mentality, also choosing their orders in advance.
Half an hour later, Yun Zijin had finally taken all the orders from the first wave of customers.
Seeing that Qin Sitong was so busy she was practically running in circles, Yun Zijin started helping her make the Wangyou Milk Tea.
Qin Sitong had to handle the other drinks, but Yun Zijin could at least help with the Wangyou Milk Tea.
Once they had finished the orders for that wave of customers, Yun Zijin finally had a moment to step out from behind the counter.
The woman who had come to apply for the job was still standing by the wall.
"Um... Ma’am, why don’t we go sit in the back?"
The milk tea shop had a back room, which was meant for employees to rest and change into their uniforms.
However, their custom-made uniforms hadn’t arrived yet, so for the past couple of days, Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong had just been working in their regular clothes.
"Okay!"
Yun Zijin led the woman into the break room, gestured for her to sit down, then pulled up a chair to sit facing her.
"Why don’t you start by telling me a little about yourself?"
Yun Zijin fell silent for a moment. As the atmosphere grew a little awkward, she finally remembered to ask the woman to introduce herself.
"Hello, Ma’am. My name is Liang Fen, and I’m from G Province. I came to Dijing to support my son while he studies.
I’ve worked as a dishwasher, a server, and a cleaner. I’ve done all of it!
Whatever work you can give me, I promise I’ll do my absolute best to get it done!"
