“It can’t be the boss lady, can it!”
“I didn’t see her downstairs.”
Fat Peng whispered speculatively.
“Damn, now that you mention it, it does seem like her!”
I’m the Darkest was shocked, and he looked around only to find that the gorgeous salon owner was indeed nowhere in sight.
“My heart is broken.”
“Who’s that lucky bastard!”
I’m the Darkest looked enviously at the ceiling.
“She’s like the female lead in a novel!”
“But with this plot, I feel like I could include it in my book!”
Fat Peng said with a sleazy grin.
“I can’t, I can’t take it anymore!”
“If I keep listening I’m going to have to run to the restroom!”
I’m the Darkest shook his head as he put on his headphones, but he took them off again after less than two seconds.
“This is toxic!”
“Damn it, I still want to listen!”
I’m the Darkest perked his ears up to listen once more.
“So envious.”
“Wonder which big shot is doing so well.”
“That voice, tsk tsk…”
Fat Peng, with one hand on his double chin, looked up with envy. As a perennially sedentary fat nerd, achieving such sounds was almost impossible for him—he could only envy.
“Hey, it sounds like two people?”
“Why do I hear two different voices??”
I’m the Darkest, who was intensely focused, made a new discovery, and his small eyes suddenly widened.
Just the thought of a beautiful boss lady had him drooling with envy, and to think there was another woman.
He had assumed it was a spar between two, but it turned out to be a “fight the landlord” with three players!
That was just too damn thrilling!
“It does seem like two different female voices?”
“No way! Could it be that the boss lady actually shares her man with others??”
Fat Peng was completely flabbergasted, but he still found it hard to believe. A woman as stunning as the salon owner—if even one was enough, he’d willingly give up ten years of his life, let alone two!!
“Let’s change our position!”
“I have to see which big shot it is, and if possible, I’ll beg to be taken on as a disciple on the spot.”
I’m the Darkest adjusted his seat so that his line of sight would immediately capture anyone coming down from the upstairs.
Fat Peng also moved over to sit with him, obviously very curious about the incredible performance by the brother upstairs!
As men, apart from envy, all they could do was harbor silent jealousy!
They both stared eagerly at the stairs…
After a long while, the upstairs finally returned to quietude.
The two instinctively straightened up, expecting the arrival of the awe-inspiring big shot any moment!
Fat Peng and I’m the Darkest even had a cool BGM playing in their heads for the momentous entrance!
In Fat Peng’s head, it was the background music of Qiao’s grand entrance.
In I’m the Darkest’s head, it was Ma in his trench coat making his entrance!
After all, such a badass entrance definitely required a BGM!!
While the two anticipated with unbridled excitement, footsteps finally came from the second floor, prompting them both to crane their necks instinctively.
Next, Wang Xueru, the enchanting salon owner, appeared in their line of sight. She was gently smoothing her hair at her temples as she walked down the stairs with an elegant gait, her delicate face radiant and beaming.
Fat Peng and I’m the Darkest sighed almost in unison, lamenting that the person responsible for the salon owner’s radiance wasn’t one of them.
Wang Xueru was naturally in a very good mood at that moment; she had been wanting this for a long time and had finally gotten her wish today.
However, she still felt somewhat unfulfilled and planned to rest for a bit before ascending the stairs for another round!
Either find a new battleground or continue the fight here, but either way, today I finally caught my man, and I can’t let him off the hook that easily.
If it were before, Wang Xueru might not have been confident enough to make him stay, but today is different, she had reinforcements!
What man could resist such temptation!
“Lu Lu, brew another pot of Goji Chrysanthemum Tea!”
“Add more goji berries!”
Wang Xueru walked over to the bar and instructed the clerk, Zhao Lu.
“Okay, Xueru!”
Zhao Lu promised hurriedly and quickly went to make the tea. For her and another clerk, Mao Shuang, this situation wasn’t new; they went through it almost every week.
But today’s situation was slightly different; it seemed like there was more than just their boss upstairs.
Now that was explosive!
However, Zhao Lu and Mao Shuang only silently enjoyed the drama; they both wanted to keep their rather leisurely job.
Because the cafe was never too busy or too quiet, they weren’t overworked, yet they received a decent salary, and boss Wang Xueru was very nice.
In such circumstances, only a fool would think of quitting!
At that moment, footsteps were heard from upstairs again.
Wang Jingru, dressed in a light yellow OL suit dress, also came down the stairs…
Fat Peng’s and I’m the Darkest’s eyes immediately widened in surprise!
Because the woman who came down was way more beautiful than those fake office beauties in Island Nation videos, and she exuded a ripe peach-like mature charm from inside out!
Not only that, the beauty bore a resemblance to the glamorous proprietress.
Could the two women be sisters??
Fat Peng and I’m the Darkest shared a glance and the same thought crossed their minds.
Then, they were shocked once again!
At the same time, their admiration for the “mighty bro” upstairs peaked!
“He’s simply a role model for our generation!”
I’m the Darkest uttered with emotion and then firmly said to Fat Peng, “Bro Peng, no matter what, I have to take that mighty bro upstairs as my mentor when he comes down!”
“If he doesn’t agree, could you put in a good word for me?”
“Er?”
Fat Peng was confused: “How can I help you? I don’t even know the guy.”
“Just help me out with some good words, knowing him isn’t necessary!”
I’m the Darkest said earnestly.
“Alright then, I’ll give it a try later!”
Fat Peng nodded, agreeing for now, but for someone with social anxiety like him, it was still a big ask.
While the two whispered to each other, footsteps were heard from upstairs once more.
They both looked up quickly, this time surely it was the “mighty bro” making his entrance!
Two fervent bgm tracks played simultaneously in their heads…
The next moment.
A man dressed in an Hermès suit casually came down the stairs.
Seeing this man, I’m the Darkest became even more excited.
Yes, he was truly the man I wanted to take as my mentor!
Your journey continues on empire
Tall, handsome, exceptional in style!
In contrast to I’m the Darkest’s excitement, Fat Peng stood there in shock!
“Holy shit, Yang!”
“It’s Yang!!”
Fat Peng couldn’t help but exclaim; Yang Hao had left a deep impression on him—the guy had tipped him 700,000!
A top patron, how could he forget!
However, he never dreamed that the “mighty bro” upstairs would turn out to be his top patron!
“Bro Peng, you actually know my master??”
I’m the Darkest asked in surprise after hearing Fat Peng’s exclamation.
