Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 409 Divination and Coffee

Han Zhou had imagined many possibilities for what Lin Anyu meant by "there is a problem".

For example, this coffee shop has a group of sexy maids in maid outfits who stand on both sides of the door and bow and call "Master". Another example is the pink lights and intoxicating incense in the coffee shop, which can create an ambiguous atmosphere the moment you enter the door. But he didn't realize he was thinking wrongly until he walked into the store.

This is indeed a coffee shop. Although it provides "special services", the services are quite serious - just add an extra ten yuan on top of ordering coffee, and you can get a fortune-telling service provided by a professional staff.

That’s right, this is a cafe with divination elements.

The decoration style of the coffee shop is quite magical. There are large strings of pendants in the house, with stars and moons, which look like the falling Milky Way. A light touch will make a crisp sound. There is a crystal ball on all the coffee tables, and the walls are covered with cute patterns of brooms and witch hats. There is misty fog near the bar, and the waiters are looming in the fog, giving people a sense of being in a magical world.

"This place is really fancy..."

Xiao Xiaoxiao, who was in charge of pushing the wheelchair, was muttering to herself, but her eyes were looking around the room, looking very curious.

Han Zhou first breathed a sigh of relief, then became suspicious and asked in a low voice: "Is this the 'problematic' coffee shop you mentioned?"

"What I said is interesting. Interesting, understand?" Lin Anyu turned around and gave him a meaningful smile.

Han Zhou always felt that this guy's smile had ill intentions, but before he could figure it out, he heard a familiar voice the next second.

"Welcome, would you like to have a drink... Hey, Guzheng? Why are you here?"

Han Zhou was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the waiter in this cafe was actually an acquaintance of his. It was Wang Runxue who was obsessed with divination. He was wondering at first why this guy didn't stay in school and came here to work as a waiter. However, when he thought of the theme elements of this cafe, he was relieved.

A fortune-telling fanatic works in a fortune-telling cafe. From a certain perspective, this can be considered a professional match...

Gu Zheng was also surprised to see Wang Runxue. After asking, she learned that this cafe was originally opened by the president of the Fortune Telling Club - to be precise, it was actually the property of the Fortune Telling Club's father, but it was transferred to him not long ago. The first thing the president did after taking over the cafe was to renovate it and use it as an off-campus activity room for the Fortune Telling Club, while trying to keep it open to the public.

“Try to stay open… No wonder your business doesn’t look good if you don’t even hire decent employees.”

Xiao Xiaoxiao was outspoken and made her comments while sizing up the witch hat on the bar.

Wang Runxue was not angry either. She smiled and explained, "The president didn't intend to make money from this store. He said that young people should pursue their dreams and interesting things. It would be too boring to worry about money now."

Lin Anyu was fiddling with a crystal ball. Hearing this, he was immediately delighted. He felt like he had found a soulmate. "Could your president be a second-generation rich man?"

"I guess so. The president's family business seems to be quite big...but how did you know that?" Wang Runxue asked curiously.

"Because I also think that young people should live more freely." Lin Anyu shrugged and replied with a smile.

Wang Runxue didn't quite understand what he meant, but Han Zhou did. Lin Anyu was a rich second-generation guy. Naturally, he wouldn't worry about food, clothing, and shelter. He had enough energy to pursue freedom and dreams. If people couldn't even have the simplest food and drink, they usually wouldn't talk about these lofty words.

After all, these things can't be eaten.

Thinking of this, Han Zhou suddenly became curious about what Mo Yixia was thinking. You know, this girl is also a real rich woman. I wonder if she thinks about her dreams in her free time.

"Anyway, everyone please take a seat and order. I'll prepare coffee for everyone."

Wang Runxue did not dwell on it too much. If she couldn't figure it out, she simply gave up thinking about it. She did not forget that she was now a shop assistant. She quickly arranged for everyone to sit down, took out a menu in a formal manner, bowed slightly, and indicated that everyone could order whatever they wanted.

"Anything?"

Han Zhou looked at her with a little suspicion, "Aren't you just a shop keeper? Can you really make coffee?"

He observed that there was only Wang Runxue in this coffee shop, which meant that everyone's coffee had to be made by her personally. Does this guy have the skills to do this?
"Who are you looking down on?"

Wang Runxue rolled her eyes at him. "We've already said that we have to keep our store running as long as possible. How can we let a clerk who can't make coffee run the store?" "I've received special training."

After saying that, she shook her ponytail and turned back to the bar to make coffee.

She knew that Han Zhou was a scumbag. She didn't have much dislike for him, but she was somewhat unhappy with him. If he didn't have evidence against her, she would have exposed this guy long ago.

Looking at her back, Xiao Xiaoxiao yawned and said boredly: "She is alone in the store, and I don't know if this girl has any salary."

Gu Zheng thought for a moment and said, "We are all members of the same club, and this is the club's off-campus activity room. They should be helping out for free."

Lin Anyu leaned back in the comfortable chair, shook his head and said with emotion: "Nowadays, the clubs are really interesting. They can even let members work for free. If I have the chance, I will try to find a club to join. Maybe I can get people to work for me for free."

Han Zhou glanced at him unhappily: "Didn't you just say that you wanted to be a free young man? Why are you now thinking about becoming a capitalist?"

"I can't help it. Sooner or later I will have to go back and take over the family business. I can't just eat and wait for death for the rest of my life, right? Han Zhou, my life is already fixed, but you are different from me. You must keep going with my free will in the future."

Lin Anyu sighed and made a helpless expression as if "If you don't work hard, you will have to go back and inherit the family business." Han Zhou almost couldn't help but want to punch him when he saw his Versailles look.

"What about you?" he asked.

"Me?" Lin Anyu gave him a strange look, "Of course I took the bus."

This sentence successfully earned several girls' disdain.

"The rich second generation is really hateful." Han Zhou sighed.

"Do you have any prejudice against rich second-generations?"

Mo Yixia turned her head and glanced at him.

Han Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that he had accidentally cursed this guy. He quickly changed his words and said, "That's not the case. What I mean is... the ones who are hateful are actually the capitalists. Otherwise, maybe I would have a chance to become a rich second-generation."

Seeing that the other party was looking at him while talking, Lin Anyu was unhappy and corrected him: "My family just runs a few hotels, so this can't be considered a capitalist, right?"

“Capitalists usually refer to people who own the factors of production and earn profits by operating businesses and hiring workers.”

Mo Yixia held her chin with one hand and tapped the table with the other hand, saying slowly, "If we start from this definition, our family should be considered a fairly standard capitalist."

She turned her head and looked at Han Zhou again.

"Pfft!"

Xiao Xiaoxiao, who was a little sleepy at first, couldn't help laughing out loud. Lin Anyu laughed even louder, thinking that Han Zhou was really shooting himself in the foot. Han Zhou was a little embarrassed, but Gu Zheng felt refreshed. She glared at Xiao Xiaoxiao and Lin Anyu with dissatisfaction: "What's so funny? Capitalists are hateful."

Her words were obviously directed at Mo Yixia.

Mo Yixia took off her mask and cap, tucked her scattered hair behind her ears, and said disapprovingly: "There are very few people in this world who truly hate capitalists. They just hate that they are not capitalists."

Although Lin Anyu was trying not to laugh, he did not forget to help his good brother change the subject and quickly said, "Don't talk about capital or not. Doesn't this store provide divination services? Should we add ten yuan to try it out?"

Xiao Xiaoxiao shook her head, seemingly uninterested: "It's up to you guys, I'll just forget it, it's better to go to the temple to ask for divination than to do it here."

"What? Are you still a Buddhist believer?" Lin Anyu asked curiously.

"No, this guy is a believer wherever it's free."

Han Zhou easily saw through Xiao Xiaoxiao's thoughts. This girl had no religious beliefs, but she hated wasting money on divination. For example, she thought it would be more economical to go to the temple to draw lots.

Seeing the girl's dissatisfaction, as if she was very unhappy about her thoughts being exposed, Han Zhou was amused, and then said earnestly, "Xiaoxiao, times have changed. Now it may cost more than ten yuan to go to the temple to draw a fortune."

"How do you know?" Xiao Xiaoxiao pouted, "On TV, it's clear that going to the temple to draw lots is free."

"Of course because..."

Han Zhou was just about to say that he had gone to the temple to ask for divination not long ago, and he still remembered the monk who used Baidu to interpret the divination on his mobile phone, but suddenly he was startled and suddenly woke up -

Going to the temple to draw divination happened when Mo Yixia and I went to climb the snow mountain together. This matter has been kept secret from Gu Zheng, and it is best not to let her know now, so the matter of drawing divination cannot be told.

So he smiled and said in a half-joking tone, "Of course it's because the times are advancing with the times. In the past, temples didn't pay wages, but now some temples even have to take care of the five social insurances and one housing fund when recruiting people. We have to find ways to make money."

"I've heard of this." Lin Anyu said in amazement, "I heard that the incense fees are now paid by QR code. It's really keeping up with the times."

At this moment, Wang Runxue came over with a few cups of steaming coffee. While putting the coffee on the table, she asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

"Thank you."

Han Zhou subconsciously wanted to stand up to take the coffee, but Gu Zheng had already taken the coffee first and pushed it in front of him, smiling and replied, "We are talking about divination."

"Yes." Lin Anyu nodded and said expectantly, "We want to do divination in the store, is that ok?"

"Divination? Of course!"

Wang Runxue was delighted at first, then suddenly thought of something and looked at Han Zhou strangely, "But why don't you ask this guy to help you with divination? His divination skills are much better than mine."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Lin Anyu was even more shocked. He looked Han Zhou up and down for a moment and asked, "When did you learn divination?"

Han Zhou coughed dryly: "It's just a little hobby, how can she be so good at it? Don't listen to her nonsense."

He said a few perfunctory words, then turned to look at Wang Runxue, "Then I'll trouble you to help everyone with divination later."

"Okay... just don't laugh at me behind my back."

Wang Runxue didn't think much about it, but suddenly her eyes lit up, "By the way, the president might come to the store in a while, why don't you ask him to help you with divination? Our president is very powerful."

Anyone can do the divination. Naturally, no one would have any objection to such a small matter. Only Xiao Xiaoxiao looked wary.

"No extra charge, right?"

"Uh, of course not."

"It's up to you then."

"..."

Everyone thought that Wang Runxue was just forcing the issue, but they didn't expect that this guy could actually make coffee, and his skills seemed pretty good. The coffee he brewed was rich and fragrant. It was a pity that no one present was used to drinking this stuff, so they could only give the evaluation of "tastes average" in front of her expectant eyes.

Lin Anyu prides himself on being mature and steady, and a mature man doesn't need to add sugar to his coffee, so he ignored Wang Runxue's dissuasion and didn't add any sugar. However, he soon became obedient. As soon as he took a sip of the coffee, his face twisted and he slammed the table, expressing his disapproval of the bitterness.

Wang Runxue picked up the crystal ball on the table with concern, fearing that it would be broken by the hammer.

Han Zhou was amused by Lin Anyu's ferocious expression, but thinking that he had been helping him out today, he did not laugh at him. He took a sip of coffee, shook his head and sighed, "There are many more bitter things, but you just don't have the chance to taste them."

"Pretending to be profound."

Xiao Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, then carefully picked up the cup, put the coffee with two tablespoons of sugar to her lips, tasted it, frowned and said, "I think I put too much sugar."

"It's okay, it's better than no sugar."

Gu Zheng said with her eyes bent, "I really want to rinse my mouth with sugar water now."

She is a very vengeful person, and this was her revenge for Lin Anyu deliberately acting as a troublemaker before the afternoon game.

Lin Anyu's face darkened.

"makes sense."

Xiao Xiaoxiao's frown immediately relaxed.

At this moment, Wang Runxue, a shop clerk, was also sitting with everyone. She had basically met everyone present and had a good relationship with Guzheng. Seeing that there were no customers at the moment, she wanted to come over and chat with everyone to relieve their boredom.

Of course, she was just trying to kill time, and her real intention was to find an opportunity to do something. Of course, she knew the girl who had remained silent since entering the store, and she was very curious about how Han Zhou, such a scumbag, could hook up with this "Smiling Princess". She really wanted to find out what the current relationship between these people was.

Humph, I must let the president give this guy a good beating later...

She had secretly sent a message to the president, asking him to come to the store as soon as possible. She took the opportunity of divination to implicitly tell Han Zhou the painful price of being a scumbag, hoping that this guy could turn back from his wrong path and let Gu Zheng be happy.

This is the only thing she can do as Guzheng's friend.
