That is certainly true, at least from a realistic perspective.

"Ah~ You just saved Ning Meng-chan, the atmosphere was just right, Mei Lang, you..."

Wan Jinmo had just started complaining when he looked up and saw Mei Lang looking at him like he was trash.

Wan Jinmo felt instantly guilty.

"You idiot! Get your breakfast ready and get to work!"

"Ahhh! Private Marseille!"

……

The scene shifts, and Wan Jinmo, wearing a plaid shirt and carrying a shoulder bag, enters a coffee shop.

The coffee shop's sign reads in Chinese characters:

Time and Space Cafe

Wan Jinmo walked to the front of this coffee shop, which wasn't very big and had a small storefront, but had a small courtyard. He took a deep breath and cheered himself up.

'Today is a new beginning. I can't always rely on Meilang to help me; I have to work hard too.'

Thinking this, Wan Jinmo reached out and pulled out the key from under a flowerpot next to the coffee shop entrance.

"Seriously, isn't the boss worried about thieves if he puts the keys under the flowerpot every day?"

Wan Jinmo opened the door while complaining.

Wan Jinmo opened the sliding door and walked into the coffee shop, then shook his head helplessly.

The owner hasn't even opened the shop yet?

Footsteps echoed from the second floor, followed by a figure emerging from the back of the coffee shop, who immediately spotted Wan Jinmo.

"Ah, I'm so sleepy, huh? Oh, Xiao Mo, you don't need to come this early every day."

The man, whose hair was a mess and who had clearly just woken up, poured himself a cup of coffee and spoke to Wan Jinmo.

Wan Jinmo was speechless. He looked up at the clock in the coffee shop and said, "Boss You Che, it's already 8:50. If I remember correctly, the coffee shop opens at 9:00 in the morning, right?"

You Che looked up at the clock, then helplessly rubbed his messy hair: "Anyway, there's not much business at nine o'clock. How about we change the opening time to ten o'clock tomorrow?"

Wan Jinmo instantly broke down: "Boss! The coffee shop originally opened at seven o'clock! We've already changed it to nine! Do you want to postpone it again?!"

Wan Jinmo was quite helpless.

And his narration began at just the right moment:

My name is Wan Jinmo. As you can see, I dream of becoming a special agent, but in reality, I'm just an ordinary young man. I live with my younger sister, Wan Jinmeilang, and I get scolded every day. I'm a real loser.

However... those are all things of the past, because...

I've found someone even more颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it conveys a sense of listlessness, a

The owner of this coffee shop is Mr. Yu Che.

Chapter 807 Subconscious Behavior

"Since you've set opening hours, you should stick to them, boss..."

Wan Jinmo washed the cups and then wiped the coffee table with a cloth, expressing his dissatisfaction with You Che's laziness in the process.

"What does it matter? My parents who died young left me an entire building as an inheritance. Even if I just collect rent, I can live a very comfortable life. This is one of the few benefits they gave me." You Che snorted, his tone full of resentment.

Wan Jinmo paused slightly while wiping the cup, then said helplessly, "Boss, I think your parents must love you..."

You Che curled his lip: "Alright, alright, you and I are the same, both have irresponsible parents, why are you lecturing me? Those parents who I've barely seen growing up, who don't even come back for years, tsk, by that logic, at least Xiao Mo's parents were there for you throughout your youth, ah, I'm so envious~"

Wan Jinmo shook his head helplessly, too lazy to bother with his boss anymore.

"Ring ring ring"

The wind chimes at the door rang, and a capable figure in a suit and high heels walked in.

"Hey, isn't this the coffee shop with all the great online reviews? Why is it open so early?"

The short-haired woman muttered to herself as she walked through the door.

"Hi!" Wan Jinmo immediately greeted him. "That's right, our coffee shop has a positive review rate of over 99% online!"

The short-haired woman was somewhat bewildered by Wan Jinmo's actions.

"Ah, hello, I'm a waiter at Time and Space Cafe, my name is Wan Jinmo."

The short-haired woman, seeing Wan Jinmo bowing slightly, quickly returned the greeting and said, "Ah, hello, my name is Nan Yunchenghua..."

(Which avenue is Miss Chenghua walking on?)

Wan Jinmo smiled and led Miss Chenghua to a seat, then skillfully took out a notebook and pen: "What do you need?"

"Um, just a regular coffee, please." Chenghua blinked, a little confused, then realized what she meant and slammed her hand on the table: "Wait a minute! I came here on important business!"

Wan Jinmo blinked, completely bewildered.

Meanwhile, You Che had already started grinding coffee powder.

Cheng Hua stood up and walked to the counter. Then he looked at You Che and asked urgently, "Boss, can you tell me if your store's security cameras can capture the convenience store on the street corner across the street? There was a theft there today."

You Che raised his eyes and pursed his lips: "Ah, of course you can, but why should I show you the surveillance footage? Who are you?"

Wan Jinmo: "..."

Chenghua: "..."

Wan Jinmo walked to the bar with the notebook and looked at You Che: "Boss, there's been a theft. Could you help out if you can?"

Yu Che snorted coldly: "Checking the surveillance footage costs 500 yen."

Chenghua's forehead veins bulged slightly, and then she took out a police ID card from the inside pocket of her clothes and slapped it on the bar.

Wan Jinmo looked at Cheng Hua in surprise: "Miss Cheng Hua, are you a police officer?!"

You Che glanced at the policeman, scoffed, and pointed to the cashier counter to the right of the bar, saying, "The surveillance footage is on the computer. You can check it yourself."

Yes, his voice trembled slightly, and his hands shook a little too.

Chenghua was speechless. Why didn't you say that earlier?

Chenghua sat down, turned on the computer, and after a rapid boot-up, he was dumbfounded by the pile of game icons on the desktop: "Boss, which one should I click to check the surveillance footage?"

You Che had just finished making a cup of coffee, then used the whipped cream to create a swan flower. He carried the coffee to the computer, put it down, and pointed to an icon on the screen: "This one. When do you want to see the surveillance footage?"

Cheng Hua asked, speechless, "Boss, what are all these icons on your computer?"

Yu Che was very annoyed: "Even if you're a policeman, you can't tell me what games I play, right? Also, this cup of coffee costs 800 yen, even if you're a policeman, you still have to pay for it."

Chenghua: "..."

No way, what kind of job do you take being a police officer for?! We're not those Yakuza!

Chenghua was speechless. While checking the surveillance footage, he picked up his coffee cup and took a sip. A bitter taste instantly rushed to his head.

The bitter taste instantly cleared Chenghua's mind, and his face scrunched up, but the bitter taste only lasted for a moment.

The next moment, Chenghua felt a sweetness fill her taste buds, and at the same time she smelled a peculiar grassy aroma...

"It's delicious!" Chenghua looked at the coffee in his hand in surprise.

Wan Jinmo sat smiling on a chair not far away.

"Heh, that's for sure. The coffee I brew is the best in the entire universe," You Che said calmly.

Cheng Hua instantly put on a deadpan expression and shook his head helplessly: "It would be even better if the boss wasn't so annoying."

Upon hearing this, Wan Jinmo slapped his thigh immediately: "That's right! The few negative reviews we get are all complaints about the boss's bad attitude!"

You Che glanced at Wan Jinmo and said calmly, "Do you still want this month's bonus?"

Wan Jinmo immediately shut up.

Although Manzumo did odd jobs and held multiple positions, Yuche paid him 350,000 yen a month, plus various bonuses.

This job is tiring, but the salary is quite high.

Chenghua nodded in understanding, then took a few sips of coffee and began to review the surveillance footage.

Soon, her eyes narrowed sharply as she looked at the surveillance footage, then pulled out her notebook and began writing down the license plate.

After finishing his coffee in one gulp, he pulled out a thousand yen note, slammed it on the counter, and said, "Keep the change!" before rushing out.

After watching this scene for a long time, You Che finally managed to utter, "...Talented person."

Then Yu Che handed 1,000 yen to Manzumo: "Consider the extra 200 yen your tip."

Wan Jinmo happily took it and stuffed it into the bar.

Soon, it was noon.

"Okay, it's nap time. Xiao Mo, you should go take a nap too. Come back at six o'clock this afternoon."

Wan Jinmo nodded.

To be honest, the owner of this coffee shop has truly exceptional skills.

The only problem is that the shop's operating hours are rather morbid.

The shop is only open for 6 hours a day, from 9 am to 12 pm and from 6 pm to 9 pm, which is bad enough, but it also completely misses the afternoon tea and late-night snack times.

If it weren't for the fact that the owner is truly skilled and owns an entire building that he can rent out, earning millions of yen every month without doing anything, Manzumo would really be worried about when this coffee shop will go out of business.

It's funny when you think about it.

When I first applied for the job here, the boss offered me a salary of 100,000 yen a month. After joining the company, I thought, "I can't let the boss slack off," so I promoted myself online, and then I gradually became popular.

We now have a stable customer base of several dozen people every day.

The kind of work schedule that perfectly matches the work schedule of this gloomy coffee shop.

Sometimes, online celebrities would come to check in, but after discovering the shady opening hours of this place, many of them left immediately, which saved them some trouble.

Wan Jinmo was thinking about this as he prepared to go home.

It's only two streets away from home, a fifteen-minute walk.

Wan Jinmo walks to and from get off work almost every day.
