Push Me Away When I Come, Don't Hold Me Back When I Leave - Chapter 122

Chapter 122: Luo Qingxuan’s Coffee Shop

***

After ending the call with Xiao Qinghan, Ye Han immediately sent a message to Xia Ruoming.

Xia Ruoming looked at that message with an exasperated expression. She clearly asked Xiao Qinghan to approach Ye Han using the company’s name, but somehow Ye Han already knew her intentions… It seems Sister Qinghan is still more suited for managing broader strategies, and such matters should not be left to Sister Qinghan anymore.

After Ye Han confirmed it was truly Xia Ruoming’s company, she agreed immediately, without even asking about the compensation. Xia Ruoming was a bit surprised at how quickly Ye Han agreed, but considering that Ye Han’s relationship with the Ye family wasn’t particularly good, it made sense that she would quickly accept an opportunity to break free from family control, so she let it go.

Since she was already exposed, Xia Ruoming simply stopped pretending. After acknowledging the message was true, she also inquired about hiring Ye Xue as the HR director.

She remembered that in her previous life, Ye Xue didn’t like staying with the Ye family. Firstly, the Ye family already had an eldest son, so Ye Xue wouldn’t inherit much. Secondly, Ye Xue who stayed with the Ye family seemed to have been forced into a “political marriage.” Because Ye Han had forcefully broken ties with the Ye family to be with Xu Fengwu in her previous life, the task of “political marriage” fell on the eldest daughter Ye Xue. Although Ye Xue was very dissatisfied, she who had never opposed family decisions remained silent that time as well.

After about 5-6 minutes of silence on WeChat, Ye Han finally sent a message saying she would ask her sister’s thoughts on behalf of Ruoming, but the success rate might not be high. Although her sister was quiet, she thought more than anyone else, so it would be better for Ruoming not to have much hope.

Actually, Xia Ruoming really didn’t want to have much interaction with Ye Han, just like how she initially didn’t want much interaction with Jiang Ruhua. But plans can’t keep up with changes. Not to mention Ye Han actively approaching her at the cocktail party, just the current HR issue was already giving her a headache. Lying in bed thinking back and forth, it seemed only the Ye sisters could be used.

Why didn’t she handle these matters herself? Well, the less capability, the less responsibility, that’s how it is, just like in Chicken’s Bizarre Adventure.

However, what she didn’t expect was that Ye Han’s actions were incredibly swift, and she even managed to bring along that quiet eldest daughter in just a few minutes. Shortly after she hung up the phone, the Ye sisters had already pushed open the doors of Qinghan Culture’s headquarters in Hangzhou.

What surprised her even more was that Ye Han offered an extremely outrageous condition to Ye Xue, and Ye Xue actually accepted it.

The moon in the water had originally dispersed the black mist surrounding it, but at this moment, dark clouds once again made the moon in the water become blurry…

Meanwhile, the military training review finally ended, and Xia Ruoming could finally complete what she came to school to do — originally she just came to find Luo Qingxuan, otherwise she wouldn’t have wanted to come to school today.

It had been too long, she was almost falling asleep waiting.

“Senior—!!” While Xia Ruoming was still looking around for Luo Qingxuan, Luo Qingxuan had already spotted her and excitedly ran straight towards her, jumping right into her arms.

This action unsurprisingly drew many gazes focused on Xia Ruoming. Now many people knew who this person was who could sleep on the side during military training, and there were two different rumors. One said that Xia Ruoming had personally confirmed that the exceptionally beautiful freshman Xu Fengwu was her girlfriend, while another rumor said that the previous claim about Xu Fengwu being her girlfriend was actually false, and the girl who was lying down resting with her on the first day of military training was her real girlfriend.

But either way, Xia Ruoming’s girlfriend in the rumors definitely wasn’t this woman who just hugged her.

And even though they were in the same grade, she called her senior when she jumped to hug her, there must be a story between them…

Seeing the gazes cast on her from the side, Xia Ruoming’s face darkened immediately, and she pulled Luo Qingxuan towards her car. Her pristine reputation was almost ruined by Luo Qingxuan. If the senior sisters at Zhejiang University gave her a first impression as a player, what would she do in the future? She clearly wasn’t a player, no matter what, she was at least a bit better than that despicable pink-haired girl, right?

Even if she wasn’t better than that despicable pink-haired girl, at least she could compare her awfulness with Tendo Izumi, so she definitely wasn’t a player.

While thinking this way, Xia Ruoming drove her small car, taking Luo Qingxuan to the newly renovated Stellaris Coffee Shop.

“Senior? This is…? If you want to treat me to coffee, you don’t need to choose such a nice coffee shop, a regular Little Wood Coffee Shop would be quite nice.” Looking at the extremely luxuriously decorated coffee shop in front of her, Luo Qingxuan said softly.

“Pfft… hahaha… This is my own coffee shop, and it’s also what I promised you before, Qingxuan.” Saying this, Xia Ruoming pulled Luo Qingxuan up to the second floor of the coffee shop, leading her to sit at the bar counter.

“What did you promise me?” Luo Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, she had long forgotten what Xia Ruoming had said about letting her help at the coffee shop in Hangzhou.

“Your Starry Sky, the reborn Starry Sky, Stellaris Coffee Shop, do you like it?” Xia Ruoming went behind the counter and used the new coffee machine to make Italian coffee for both Luo Qingxuan and herself.

Speaking of which, this set of new coffee machines cost over 100,000 yuan in total, before buying it she hadn’t thought the best coffee machine could be this expensive.

“Oh… that thing, Senior wants me to help at this coffee shop, right?” Hearing Xia Ruoming’s words, Luo Qingxuan suddenly remembered what Xia Ruoming had said to her and Chu Suhe when they were at Starry Sky, “I promised Senior, so I’ll come help, Senior.”

“Not help.” Xia Ruoming shook her finger, pushing the coffee in front of Luo Qingxuan, “Come on, drink the coffee first, taste how your senior’s skills are. This is an Italian espresso made with two highest-grade Arabica coffee beans, the preserved aroma and acidity are absolutely supreme among coffees.”

After taking a small sip of the coffee, Luo Qingxuan couldn’t help but nod.

“Senior’s skills in both bean selection and brewing are better than mine…”

“Right? I’ve practiced making coffee quite a bit.” Hearing Luo Qingxuan’s evaluation, a slight smile appeared on Xia Ruoming’s face. Although her practice had to be traced back to her previous life, it still counted as plenty of practice.

“By the way… Senior, what you said… not help, what did you mean?” After tasting the coffee, Luo Qingxuan was still very curious about what Xia Ruoming had said earlier, so she continued to ask.

“From now on, this will be your coffee shop, Qingxuan. You will be the manager of this coffee shop, just like Starry Sky, there’s no difference.”
