CHAPTER 77: CHAPTER 77: TAKING OVER THE MILK TEA SHOP

On that same day, Li Mei stuck a "For Transfer" notice on the door.

Then she also posted the shop transfer news on the platform.

When Mao Hong came to the shop at noon to buy milk tea and saw Li Mei, she paused for a moment.

"Xiao Lin, one pearl milk tea."

Lin Xiaoyan saw Sister Hong coming and immediately responded.

When Li Mei saw Mao Hong in a police uniform, her pupils constricted, and her body started to tremble involuntarily.

She recalled her experiences in Yun Province again.

Although in the end, those people didn’t physically harm her, after being rescued.

Every time she closed her eyes these past few days, those people’s evil gazes would appear in her mind.

Fear, helplessness, and terror would flood her heart...

Li Mei rushed into the workroom and tightly shut the door.

Mao Hong observed Li Mei’s state and frowned, it seems this incident has caused severe psychological trauma to Li Mei.

Next time she goes to the police station for a statement, she has to remind her to get psychological counseling.

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at the closed workroom and sighed helplessly in her heart.

Just hoping the boss can move on from her past experiences soon.

"Sister Hong, here’s your milk tea."

Lin Xiaoyan handed the milk tea to Mao Hong.

Mao Hong received it with a smile, "Your boss is back, once you hire new staff, you can relax a bit more."

Lin Xiaoyan gave a bitter smile, not just a bit easier, but completely relaxed!

"What’s wrong?" Mao Hong noticed Lin Xiaoyan’s strangeness and asked.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the workroom behind and said softly, "Our boss was probably scared, she’s planning to transfer the shop and quit."

Mao Hong was shocked upon hearing this.

She then sighed, "I didn’t expect this incident to have such a big impact on your boss, sigh~"

Lin Xiaoyan also sighed, but she could understand, if it were her abducted into that kind of place, she couldn’t imagine it.

Luckily the boss was rescued, otherwise... if she were sold to Jiao Mian Country, the future would really be uncertain.

"I wonder how much the transfer fee is? If it’s reasonable, you could take it over."

Mao Hong knew Lin Xiaoyan worked at the Special Investigation Bureau, she had heard before that the Bureau’s salary was quite high, if she acquired this little milk tea shop, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?

It depends on whether Xiao Lin wants to.

Lin Xiaoyan was startled by Mao Hong’s words, she hadn’t considered this at all.

"Think about it, if it’s too expensive, then forget it.

If it’s acceptable, you might want to consider it."

After chatting a bit more with Lin Xiaoyan, Mao Hong left.

After Mao Hong left, Lin Xiaoyan kept thinking about the milk tea shop.

"Creak"

The workroom door opened, and Lin Xiaoyan turned her head to see boss Li Mei coming out, pale and with swollen eyes.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Li Mei with concern, "Boss, are you... okay?"

Li Mei shook her head, "I’m fine."

Lin Xiaoyan thought for a moment and asked her, "Boss, if this milk tea shop is transferred, how much is the transfer fee?"

Li Mei was surprised at Lin Xiaoyan’s words and looked up at her.

"Do you want to take over this shop?"

Lin Xiaoyan smiled sheepishly, "If the price is right, I’d like to consider it."

Li Mei didn’t think much, she was eager to transfer the shop and then stay quietly at home for a while.

"The transfer fee is fifty thousand.

Considering how long you’ve worked with me, I’ll leave all the shop’s equipment to you, just give me thirty thousand."

Li Mei glanced at everything in the shop, "If it were someone else, I would ask for a hundred thousand for the transfer fee and equipment inside."

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, indicating she understood.

"In addition, the annual rent for this shop is eighty thousand, but since you’ve been in the shop for some time, you should understand the sales volume, plus the rent here isn’t cheap, so..."

Li Mei explained everything clearly to avoid future trouble.

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan hesitated a bit, looking up at the boss, "Boss, I want to think about it, I’ll give you an answer tomorrow, okay?"

Li Mei looked at Lin Xiaoyan and lightly exhaled, "Alright, give me an answer tomorrow morning, if someone inquires about the transfer, I’ll delay it."

"Thank you, boss." Lin Xiaoyan hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

Li Mei gently replied "Mm," then said she wasn’t feeling well and left first.

With only Lin Xiaoyan left in the shop, she made milk tea while contemplating whether to take over the milk tea shop.

If she takes over the milk tea shop, she won’t have to look for another job.

After that, if there’s anything from the Special Investigation Bureau, she can leave as well.

When the time comes, hiring two or three employees for the shop, she can come over when she has time, and not come when she’s busy.

...

Finally, before the end of the day, Lin Xiaoyan made up her mind!

She decided to take over this milk tea shop!

Thanks to the 1.1 million that Xuan Shiyi and the others transferred to her last time, giving her the courage to acquire this small milk tea shop.

Grateful for the salary from the Special Investigation Bureau, allowing her to have no worries.

After deciding on this matter, Lin Xiaoyan was very excited.

As an ordinary person, being able to own a shop now is a very thrilling thing!

She couldn’t wait to tell boss Li Mei about her decision.

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s decision, Li Mei felt relieved.

This way, she didn’t have the energy to haggle over the transfer fee with strangers for this shop.

A familiar person taking over the shop made her feel better.

The two agreed to handle the transfer procedures the next day.

Early the next morning, Lin Xiaoyan got up spiritedly, thinking that today she could handle the transfer procedures, after today, she would own a shop in Sea City!

This thought excited her immensely.

Li Mei acted swiftly, quickly signing the transfer agreement with Lin Xiaoyan and then contacting the landlord to add Lin Xiaoyan’s contact information.

She spent the entire day teaching Lin Xiaoyan about other aspects of running a milk tea shop.

Such as supply channels, app store management, and all contact changes...

Since she had worked here for some time, Lin Xiaoyan adapted quickly.

As for the money, Lin Xiaoyan transferred it to Li Mei swiftly.

From this point on, she was the owner of this milk tea shop!

After handling everything, Li Mei took a lingering look at the milk tea shop before decisively leaving.

Watching Li Mei’s departing figure, Lin Xiaoyan felt elated and overjoyed.

She immediately posted a job listing for staff on a mobile recruiting app.

Since the shop transferred to Lin Xiaoyan’s hands, her eyes sparkled each time someone entered the shop.

Every time an order came in, she felt it was the sweetest sound in the world!

She didn’t feel tired at all; instead, she was full of energy.

The more tired she was, the better the business was!

After a day’s work, Lin Xiaoyan still felt exuberant, if it weren’t too small here, she would have wanted to live in the shop.

Closing the shop door, Lin Xiaoyan walked to the foot of the steps, looked at the shop in front of her, and felt a deep sense of satisfaction in her heart.
