Chapter 1 — Love You From A Poem

“Don't!” This is the only place I still regret after leaving the company. Hang reached out and patted my head, his voice gentle: "If I don't go, will you pay the rent for me?" "If I can bring back a group of customers, will you let me stand at the coffee counter?" "If you make this shop famous, I will give you the position of boss." (Once said, four horses are difficult to chase!) This battle... is a real battle! Actually, I'm not completely sure about anything, I just suddenly thought of an idea that I could try. At noon, I met Song Song and Tieu An for dinner. "Have you really quit your job?" Song Song was still a bit incredulous. I nodded: "I've lost face to this point, it's strange that I can still stay." "So what do you plan to do next?" Tieu An asked. "I'm planning to go to work... making coffee." Tieu An rolled her eyes: "Maizi, this change of direction... is really harsh!" "I'm serious, before I joined, our company had a hotgirl who secretly filmed her boss, right?" I turned to ask Song Song. Song Song nodded: "That's right, she's become a famous streamer now, very hot." "Do you still keep in touch with her?" I continued asking. Even though Song Song was the same age as me, she had worked at the company for more than three years, so asking about behind-the-scenes stories was never wrong. And if the plan I have in mind can succeed... Then that small cafe might really be about to explode. "Tieu An, quickly choose what else you want to eat? Maizi here is playing big today!" Song Song grabbed the menu and enthusiastically joined in. I also chimed in: "Just feel free to order, I'll be fine even if I eat the whole restaurant!" Even though they say that, the two of them are still very delicate, deliberately avoiding expensive things, which is true love in the human world, their friendship does not fade because of price. After successfully making friends with the famous female streamer - Vivi, I immediately sent a message: "Hello, I'm Maizi." Half an hour passed with no response, I decided to... get straight to the point: "Thank you for agreeing to be friends with me. I know you're very busy, so I'll be brief. I know a great coffee shop with excellent taste, but because of the unfavorable location, it was buried. If you have time, I hope you can stop by. Enjoy it once.” After that, I sent the location. A moment later, Vivi texted back: "This place is a bit far, my schedule is full these days. Does the shop deliver?" I turned to ask Hang Ca and he shook his head and said: "My coffee focuses most on on-site experience. Too much time and travel will affect the taste, so we haven't opened delivery yet." Then it's simple. "Then let me bring it to you. No delivery service? Then I'm the shipper!" "Okay, it's hard for you." Vivi sent me a specific address. I immediately relied on a series of information on her personal page to analyze her preferences: Type of coffee she usually drinks, ratio of milk and sugar, hot or cold, cup size, packaging color... Under the skillful hands of Hang ca, a cup of "specially made Vivi" was officially born. I carefully kept the heat, fixed it carefully, then scanned the code to rent an electric car and rushed like an arrow to the address Vivi had sent. In the end, the coffee delivery mission was a success. Vivi didn't break her promise and went down to get it herself. "The coffee is really good." She smiled, looked closely at the packaging, then gently took a breath, then took another sip. "You've spent a lot of effort for me, right?" "It's the right thing to do. I wonder... can you help me a little with the promotion?" "No problem." Vivi opened the Weibo app, immediately took a selfie with a cup of coffee, and posted with the shop's address. I really didn't expect that a famous person like this would be so easy to talk to, no way

any star attitude. "Listen to Song Song... you used to work at An Trach Tech?" "Before today, yes, but I just quit." I added, then bowed my head to sincerely thank you: "I really thank you very much for today's story!" "If it wasn't for General Director Diep who introduced you to your current company, no matter how hard you tried, you probably wouldn't be able to get here today." Vivi tilted her head and smiled gently. "He used to help you, now you help me. "Vivi was very busy, so she didn't stay long. It turned out that that year, Diep An Trach did not fire Vivi, but saw her potential and recommended her to a more suitable place. A boss like that... where else would you go to find him? It's just a shame that, by the time I realized it, he was no longer my boss. I opened Weibo and saw that Vivi's post had only been up for less than an hour, but the number of shares, comments, and likes had already exceeded ten thousand. I rode my tiny electric scooter, running and smiling with my eyes and lips almost touching my ears. Waiting for the red light, I put on my headphones and called Hang Ca. "Hello, Hang Ca, what's going on? Are there any customers?" "Are you dreaming?" Hang Ca's voice was choked, as if he had choked on something. "It's okay, wait a little longer, I guarantee that if it doesn't work, I won't do Maizi again!" The green light turned on, I continued to rush like a victorious warrior. Hang ca laughed over the phone: "Okay, then let's congratulate you in advance, boss Maizi." "Okay, let's celebrate together!" I replied in the sound of the wind. Ahead, an old lady was crossing the street at the red light. I was going to let her pass first but... Huh? What is it? Why don't you squeeze the brakes? I glanced at the old lady, then tried squeezing the brake lever again. No way. Speechless. It seems... the only way is to sacrifice yourself. I tilted the steering wheel to the right, my whole body hitting the trees on the side of the road. Pain... really pain! A group of people quickly ran around me, someone asked in panic: "Miss, are you okay?" "Call an ambulance, call 120 quickly!" A kind person took out his phone. "No need, let me take her to the hospital." A familiar voice rang out from behind the crowd. I raised my head and saw... Diep An Trach. "Boss?" He picked me up straight, his voice carrying a bit of arrogance: "I'm not your boss anymore." On the way to the hospital, the space in the car was so quiet that it was scary. Diep An Trach drove in front, I lay flat in the back seat. "Erm... old boss?" I tried to probe. "You don't call me by my name anymore?" "This is the fifth time I've died socially in front of you... What a coincidence." I sighed like a person who had just gone through a disaster. He snorted coldly: "In this world, what is so coincidental?" If it's not a coincidence then... "Don't tell me you're... following me?" I patted the back of the chair, half joking, half serious. If he took me away like this, would he still want to lock me up? "It seems like the fall just now wasn't painful enough?" "It hurts... it hurts enough to break..." I groaned weakly. Diep An Trach slightly curled his lips and slowly said: "Deserve it." The car stopped in front of the hospital. He took me to the emergency department without a broken bone, but with a stretched ligament, the doctor asked me to stay in the hospital for two days of observation. Hang Ca must have heard the news so he ran to the hospital right away. Seeing him coming, Diep An Trach quietly retreated and waited outside the hospital room. "Hang brother, if you don't take care of the restaurant, the waiting customers will be impatient!" I panicked and tried to sit up from the hospital bed. "Which customer is waiting?" Hang ca sighed, "The shop doesn't have any customers." "No way..." I searched in my pocket and took out the bank card that the human resources department had given me. "This is my three-month salary, take it, I beg you to try to keep the shop.

just one more month! I will definitely find a way!” “My three-month salary?” Hang Ca raised his eyebrows. "Is it... too little..." I mumbled, starting to feel a bit embarrassed. Hang Ca picked up the card, held it out in front of me and shook it: "Maizi, this is a black card." "Black card?! Is that… the black card in the talent novel?!” The kind that male leads conveniently throw out every time they say the words: "Buy this whole store!" That?! “Don't you know the black card?” Hang Ca slapped my forehead. “Whoa, that hurts!” I held my forehead and groaned. "I've never seen a real black card in real life..." "With this card, I can completely open a new coffee shop on my own, why do I have to stick to your shop?" "Every year, for a year now, every day I have to get up at 6 am to go to work. If it weren't for your coffee, I would have collapsed from the first month! Your coffee is not just coffee, it has become a part of my memories with this city, there is that feeling!” I spoke passionately like an award-winning speech...
