Chapter 20: 020 Tang Su just left with Lu Han_1 Chapter 20: 020 Tang Su just left with Lu Han_1 Wu Jie was silent, and the atmosphere turned awkward for a moment. Fortunately, just then, the food delivery person came in with the takeaway Tang Su had ordered.
“Your delivery is here.”
“Thanks, five-star rating, okay?”
It was Sunday and business was busy. The delivery person didn’t dally, quickly setting down their things and asking for a five-star rating before turning to leave.
The sound of the motorbike faded away in an instant, vanishing without a trace.
“Miss Tang, want to eat together?” Tang Su’s invitees were all shrewd people. Ruan Mei laid out the food and invited Tang Su with a smile.
Ade didn’t speak, simply crossing his arms and watching how his boss would act next.
This impressive acting skill was practically worthy of an Oscar.
“No need, I’ve already eaten. You guys go ahead.” A ripple of hunger stirred inside her, but Tang Su immediately held her breath, not daring to let Lu Han hear the growling from her stomach that was about to give her away.
Listening to Tang Su brazenly lying when she clearly hadn’t eaten, claiming she had, Wu Jie couldn’t help but stop what he was doing.
He turned to look at Tang Su.
In Tang Su’s eyes were flecks of light, shimmering like sprinkled diamonds as she looked at Lu Han.
Having known Tang Su for so long, including Ye Sichen, this was the first time Wu Jie saw her staring at a man with such fervent, girlish eyes.
Did she like this Doctor Lu?
It was quite obvious that she did.
Wu Jie didn’t say a word, turning back to continue his work.
He first prepared several delivery orders, placing them in the designated area for the delivery people to pick up before making the black coffee Lu Han had ordered.
Black coffee is simple—no sugar, no milk, just the pure, original flavor, the most primitive and pure taste.
“Ade, eat quickly. After you’re done, take over Ajie’s shift so he can come eat,” another server, Shen Cheng, said to Ade who was still enjoying the spectacle.
“Alright, will do.” The called-out Ade snapped back to reality, washed his hands rapidly, and then grabbed his meal.
As Wu Jie was making the black coffee for Lu Han, new delivery orders kept coming in. In fact, business had been very good since they opened at nine.
Compared to the quietness of other coffee shops, the four of them were extremely busy. Tang Su often came over at noon to help with the cashier and occasionally personally delivered coffee to VIP clients on WeChat.
Orders on WeChat were usually group purchases, typically starting at thirty cups for delivery.
There were quite a few office buildings nearby, and nearly every week there would be such group orders.
There was one today as well, but it was placed with Wu Jie. The customer wanted a hundred cups of their signature coffee, so Wu Jie really wasn’t lying when he refused Lu Han’s request earlier.
The order placed by Ye Sichen was the last one available for individual customers.
After the black coffee was ready, Lu Han took it and said thanks.
Lu Han turned to Tang Su, “Tang Su, I haven’t had lunch. Do you have time? Shall we talk over a meal?”
“Sure, I have time,” Tang Su nodded.
“Then let’s go.”
And just like that, under the watchful eyes of the four of them, Tang Su left with Lu Han.
“Our boss lady might soon be taken by someone else. Boss, oh boss, why are you so fickle? But I have to admit, boss, your taste is much better this time, way better.” Ade commented.
“Ade, watch your language. Miss Tang isn’t like you guys, all like fickle-hearted radishes.”
“No, Little Orange, not every man is a fickle-hearted radish, and besides, women have been advocating for gender equality for a long time. There are plenty of fickle women, and they’re not any less than us men.”
“Sure, there are women like that, but in terms of numbers, they can’t match you men,” Shen Cheng argued.
“Heh, drop the sexism. Be careful, or I’ll expose you on Male Fist platform. Let them condemn you with their words and teach you a lesson.”
“Heh, go ahead, mutual harm. I can send you to the Female Fist platform for a lashing, too. You think I can’t do that?” Shen Cheng was nonchalant.
Ade wanted to say more, but Ruan Mei quickly intervened, “Ceasefire, you two. Hurry up and eat. After that, it’ll be mine and Ajie’s turn.”
“Oh.”
With that, the two called a temporary truce and hastily finished their meal.
