After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Lan Yujuan stood on the second floor, watching Chen Ping walk downstairs with a livid face.

She had already prepared for the worst; even if Chen Ping resigned today, she would accept it immediately.

The initial idea was simple: the store was short-staffed, they were looking for jobs, and with other considerations, it was a win-win situation.

But now she has realized that Chen Ping is not suitable and has decided to stay at the store to continue working.

He is not reliable in his work, does not pay attention to his studies, and even ignores the customers in the store.

Rather than having someone stay in the shop and cause you trouble every day, it's better to part ways cleanly and happily for everyone.

She had just returned to her studio and closed the door when Qi Lei called, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement.

"Boss, Chen Ping wants to resign, did you agree?"

Lan Yujuan responded softly, "Okay, you guys handle it!"

"I'd like to spend some time alone upstairs this afternoon. Please don't disturb me unless it's something very important."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

She turned on her computer, opened her notebook with handwritten outlines and detailed notes, and prepared to start writing a new story.

Time always flies when you're working; in the blink of an eye, it's almost completely dark outside.

Lan Yujuan was startled and quickly checked the time. It was almost 7 p.m., the coffee shop's closing time.

She then shut down her computer, packed her things, and prepared to go downstairs to go home.

The lights on the second-floor rooftop were off, leaving only the colored lights on the stair railing and the light leading to the backyard entrance.

As she walked out, she turned off the light.

There weren't many customers left in the shop, and the coffee on the tables was almost gone.

They were a few regular customers, clearly waiting for the coffee shop to close, killing the last bit of boredom.

"Let's go, it's time to get off work!" Lan Yujuan said with a smile.

Suddenly, she froze when she saw a figure behind the bar writing something intently.

"Chen Ping? You're not...?"

The woman, who was writing with her head down, stiffened slightly when she heard Lan Yujuan call her name.

He then slowly raised his head, his eyes still slightly red and swollen.

Chen Ping bit his lower lip, then slowly relaxed it, his gaze clear and firm as he said:

"Boss, I've made up my mind. I want to stay at the store and continue learning."

These words startled Lan Yujuan, and she frowned.

My subconscious thought was that Chen Ping staying was probably up to cause trouble again.

She slowed her pace suspiciously, approaching little by little, her gaze shifting back and forth between Qi Lei and Teacher Kong, who was waiting beside him.

It seemed to be asking with its eyes: What's going on?

Qi Lei raised his hand to touch his nose, glanced at Teacher Kong beside him, and said:

"I was going to resign, but Professor Kong chatted with me at the door for a long time, so I decided not to resign."

After saying that, he glanced at the notebook in Chen Ping's hand and whispered:

"Then, now that I've almost finished the work at the shop, I thought I'd catch up on all the notes I'd missed so I wouldn't fall behind in tomorrow's new class."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yujuan looked at Teacher Kong again with new respect and was truly impressed.

She knew that Teacher Kong was very skilled at teaching and nurturing students.

But to my surprise, the effect was so immediate.

It seems that if she has the chance in the future, she should keep a close eye on Teacher Kong and ask her to talk to the two little ones at home more often when she has nothing to do.

Perhaps with some guidance, we can improve even faster!

"Okay, you guys can discuss and handle things at the store."

"I'm leaving get off work now, you all should go home early!"

She instinctively wanted to call out to Teacher Kong to come along, but even as she opened her mouth, Teacher Kong was frantically trying to wink at her.

Lan Yujuan suddenly remembered that the two of them had agreed to take the bus home together.

The two got off the bus, and there was still some distance to Professor Kong's dormitory.

Out of courtesy, Qi Lei would offer to escort Professor Kong back to his dormitory.

Along the way, you'll pass a street lined with snacks and a night market.

I heard there's a really good snail rice noodle shop over there, a really good spicy mixed noodles shop, and all sorts of hot pot and skewers...

She hadn't had so much delicious food in a long time, and just thinking about it made her hungry.

Teacher Kong followed Qi Lei and ate at almost all the delicious little shops after get off work and get out of class these past few days.

Of course, neither of them brought it up; Lan Qingqing dug it up little by little during her breaks at work.

Zhang Fengjiao took two days off, and resigned immediately after the leave ended.

Zhang Fengjiao's resignation came as a complete surprise to the other employees at the coffee shop.

She never returned to the coffee shop after taking leave, and even her resignation was announced over the phone.

The next time people saw her was on their phone screens, in a newly released short drama.

However, Lan Yujuan found out about it the day after she took leave.

After finishing filming, Zhang Fengjiao made a special trip to the neighborhood where Lan Yujuan lived and met with her before leaving.

The director appreciated her and recommended her to another production team, where she played another important supporting role.

However, since the filming location was in Hengshi, Zhang Fengjiao could only choose one of the two options.
