Chapter 87 - Even A Broken Clock Is Right Two Times A Day (2)
Saturday morning, the mother and son, hand in hand, headed over to Sunshine House with equal eagerness. They didn’t think that Manager Yang, who usually only come in the afternoon or even the evening, would also come at 11 AM.
All the little buddies teased him and Yan Shuyu joined them in making fun of him. Yang Zifeng called out, “Never mind that the rest of them were teasing me. How could you do the same? Why do you think I was here so early today?”
Yan Shuyu, slow as usual, asked, “Why?”
“For you and Yuanbao, of course!” Yang Zifeng couldn’t possibly roll his eyes even more. “Can you handle Instructor Lin on your own if I don’t stay on the sideline?”
Yan Shuyu thought about it for a second and must admit that what he said was the truth. Manager Yang might seem the type who was silly and rich, but after all, his coffee shop business was going up and up. Compared to him, she was the naïve FWS. Thinking of that, she immediately changed to tune to, “I am so glad you came early, Manager Yang. I feel much better now!”
Yan Shuyu might be unconscientious, but she knew when to do the right thing. Yang Zifeng was pleased with her sincere apology and smiled again, “You owe me one if this works out.”
“Of course.”
The fact that Yan Shuyu was looking to switch jobs was not shared with her colleagues until they knew what was going on, but all the little buddies at the restaurant had heard about how Zhang Yuanbao was handpicked by Manager Yang’s niece’s piano instructor and how they’d offer him free lessons just to have him as their student. When they heard that Manger Yang and Yan Shuyu were discussing about serious matters, one by one they’ve disbursed.
There weren’t a lot of customers in the daytime, and the chefs in the back were about to start preparing their lunch. With the exception of the oddball Yan Shuyu, the other servers were mostly hardworking and motherly young girls. During these hours, most of them love to go watch the chef cook, and the ones who didn’t care about cooking would go and chitchat in the backroom.
With the competent Manager Yang rooting for her, Yan Shuyu definitely felt much better and started eagerly awaiting Instructor Lin as soon as lunch was over. She had a strong hunch that Instructor Lin would not make them wait too much today. After all, her son was so incredible…
Sure enough, Instructor Lin did not have them wait too long. She arrived around 1 PM.
She probably had learned about Yan Shuyu’s name from Yang Zifeng. She asked for Yan Shuyu as soon as a server had seated her. Yan Shuyu, at the time, was learning how to make a café latte from the barista with a few other of her buddies to kill time. A sense of relief washed over her when she heard that someone was looking for her. She was so eager to meet her that she went to greet her before she went to get Yang Zifeng and her instant son.
Among the customers that were in groups of twos and threes, there was only one young woman sitting next to a window. Yan Shuyu was pretty sure she was Instructor Lin before she even walked up to her. The woman had noticed her as well. The young woman had on her a stunned look that Yan Shuyu was very familiar with when she saw Yan Shuyu walking toward her from afar. She stood up and greeted Yan Shuyu proactively and said, “You must be Ms. Yan. Hi, I am Lin Shuwen. When I saw Zhang Yuanjia for the first time, I thought to myself that his parents must be very attractive people. But I still didn’t expect that you would be such a graceful beauty.”
