Chapter 249 Ran Jin and Coffee

Lin Muans performance was clearly recognized by Yang Yi. Yang Yi took down the innermost jar and carefully took out two servings of Mandheling coffee beans for both of them.

Yang Yi was not a stingy person, but he wouldnt just offer Mandheling coffee to anyone. It wasnt because the special Mandheling coffee beans he collected were expensive, but because he was afraid that the other party wouldnt know how to taste it and would waste it!

But Lin Muan was different. His relations.h.i.+p with his girlfriend made Yang Yi feel it necessary to bring out the Mandheling. The acidity of these coffee beans wasnt strong, but it was easily distinguishable, and it also had a rich herbal fragrance, just like their love?

After exchanging a few words with his girlfriend, Lin Muan walked over and looked at Yang Yi nervously: Boss, may I ask if my performance was okay?

The song you just sang was pretty good. Is it your original creation? Whats its name? Yang Yi didnt answer directly. He focused on manipulating his utensils and only asked when Lin Muan felt awkward and a little at a loss.

No, Lin Muan quickly replied, the song is called Coffee Goes Sugar. Its a song by a singer named Virgo from Hong Kong. My girlfriend, Ran Jin, likes it very much, so I sang it for her.

Such a name, very good, very powerful

Coffee Goes Sugar implies both with sugar and without sugar in Hong Kong.1As for Virgo, Yang Yi couldnt help but find it a bit amusing. Who uses the English word for Virgo as their stage name?

Of course, he was just secretly criticizing to himself. Yang Yi still jotted down the name of the song and planned to buy it and play it in the shop, hoping those customers who always add a lot of sugar to their coffee would learn a thing or two.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward again, Yang Yi brought up two cups of freshly brewed coffee. He smiled at Lin Muan and said, These two cups of coffee are for you. You sang well, keep it up and keep going!

The latter sentence was, of course, Yang Yi encouraging Lin Muan.

Every resident singer in a bar has a dream of stepping onto a real stage. Lin Muan should also be pursuing his music dream, just like the two boys from Thousand Miles Chuan-Shu. Yang Yi believed that Lin Muan could also succeed, just like Thousand Miles Chuan-Shu.

Lin Muan was somewhat stunned, and then a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He had already prepared to pay for the coffee.

Thank you, boss! Lin Muan happily held the two cups of coffee and carefully carried them back. He couldnt wait to share the good news with his girlfriend.

Lin Muans girlfriend, the girl named Ran Jin, curiously asked him some questions and then brought Lin Muan to Yang Yi.

Boss, h.e.l.lo. May I ask how much these two cups of coffee cost? Ran Jin was much more generous in her interactions compared to Lin Muan. She nudged Lin Muan and whispered, Running a business is not easy these days. Youve already allowed Muan to use the piano. We are already grateful. How could you still spend money to treat us to coffee?

Lin Muan also took out his wallet, ready to pay once Yang Yi mentioned the amount.

Yang Yi smiled wryly, waved his hand, and said, Whats all this talk about money? How much money can you students have? This time I feel like I have a good connection with Lin Muan. Let me treat you to two cups of coffee, just two cups of coffee, its not a big expense, is it?

You misunderstood. Actually, weve both graduated for several years now, Ran Jin quickly explained. I work as a counselor in Jiangcheng Media and Lin Muan also has his job. Were not without income.

Yes, we can still afford two cups of coffee! Lin Muan took out a 100 yuan bill and said to Yang Yi, Boss, please take the money!

In fact, with this 100 yuan bill, they couldnt even afford a cup of Mandheling coffee on their table

Alright, alright, you have money. Come back to the shop and spend it next time you have a chance. Yang Yi smiled and put the 100 yuan bill back into Lin Muans hand, saying, Im treating you to these two cups of coffee as a rule of the shop. Lin Muan moved me with his singing.

Dont say so much, Lin Muan. You and I are both music lovers. You should understand my thoughts. Coffee has a price, but music is priceless. You brought beautiful music to me and this coffee shop. Isnt it worth me treating you to a cup of coffee? Yang Yi said with a firm tone that couldnt be refused.

Ran Jin was indeed a counselor, and her emotional intelligence was higher than that of Lin Muan. She no longer insisted on paying, but instead asked Lin Muan to put the money away and gratefully said, Thank you, boss. Well come back and spend money next time, but dont refuse to take our money again!

Of course, the rule only applies once! Yang Yi shrugged and smiled slightly.

In the evening, Mo Fei and Mo Xiaojuan saw off Jin Yingming. Mo Xiaojuan comfortably stretched out on the sofa and lazily said, Sister, we finally finished recording this song. When Teacher Jin finishes the rest in the next two days, we can hand it over to the company! Last week almost drove me crazy!

Mo Fei looked at his cousin with a strange look in her eyes and said, What? Are you going to take another leave?

Its not about taking leave! I noticed that youve been busy recording songs recently. And coincidentally, the place where Xiao Ai and I are staying doesnt have all the furniture yet. I thought of finding some time to go shopping with her. Dont worry! Sister, I know what to do and wont delay your work. Mo Xiaojuan got up from the sofa and smiled happily.

However, she noticed Mo Feis gaze.

The perceptive Mo Xiaojuan saw the teasing in Mo Feis eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.

She restrained her racing little heart and cautiously probed, Sister, you already know?

Mo Fei actually wanted to tease this girl a little longer, but she didnt expect her to react so quickly, so she simply nodded along.

How did you know? Mo Xiaojuan asked awkwardly.

What do you think?

Brother-in-law? Did brother-in-law tell you? Mo Xiaojuan, being quite clever, immediately thought of the key point.

Mo Fei no longer hid it and nodded, then said unhappily, Why didnt you discuss setting up this studio with me in advance? You even bypa.s.sed me and asked Yang Yi for money! Do you think I dont have the financial means to support you?

Mo Feis tone had more of a hint of reproach than blame. Mo Xiaojuan keenly sensed that she wasnt particularly angry, and the heavy stone in her heart finally dropped. She moved closer to Mo Fei and said with a cheerful smile, Alright, alright, sister, dont be angry! I had my reasons for doing it this way. If I had told you directly, would you have agreed?

So youre saying I would have agreed if you acted first and informed me after? Mo Fei asked in response.

Of course, thats not what I meant. I just wanted to slowly work on your thoughts with brother-in-laws help. After the contract is over, lets lay it out and talk to Sister Ling.

And what if I renew my contract with Sister Ling? Wont the money you got from Yang Yi go to waste? Mo Fei was still a little unhappy.

Yes, yes, I didnt think it through. Its my fault. Im a big idiot. Sister, please dont be mad at me anymore. Mo Xiaojuan pouted and acted a bit spoiled.

Mo Fei had no choice but to deal with this person who acted childish when faced with a problem. Besides, she didnt really care much about this matter, so after Mo Xiaojuan apologized, Mo Fei let it go.

This shouldnt happen again. Whatever you do, make sure to discuss it with me first! Mo Fei tapped her on the head and said.

Yes, yes, I promise!

Also, dont tell Sister Ling about the studio. I havent even figured out whether to leave yet. Mo Fei hesitated for a moment and said softly.

Yes, once youve thought it through, well lay our cards on the table with Sister Ling!2

Mo Xiaojuan happily agreed to all the requests.

This girls happy appearance didnt look like she was apologizing at all. Of course, her happiness stemmed from not having to rack her brains to come up with excuses for taking leave in the future. She could skip work openly in the future!
