Qianru checked her cash book. She sighed. Her face looked unsatisfied. During this month, her cake shop does not provide enough profit. She was worried that in the next month, the situation would remain the same. If that happens, she can't rent the shop anymore.
Qianru closed her cash book. She walked out of the shop and looked around. It was late and some people walked in front of the shop. Their clothes show that they have just returned from work or school. However, no one was interested to stopping at this cake shop.
Qianru looked at the blackboard that she placed on the table to the right of the entrance. She wrote a cake price promo there. Use colorful chalk, so that it looks attractive. However, no one stopped in her shop.
Qianru entered her shop. She noticed several types of cakes that were still displayed on the storage. The amount is not much because she makes a little for each type. She was afraid that if she made a lot of cakes, the cake was not sold.
Qianru held her stomach. She began to feel hungry. Actually, she had dinner. However, she felt hungry again after seeing the cake line. Qianru initially wanted to hold back because her weight was no longer ideal. However, she gave up.
"It's okay to have a little chubby cheek. I have a height of one hundred and sixty-five meters. Whereas, my weight is fifty five kilograms, "Qianru said to himself. She remembered the scales this morning.
Qianru finally took one cake croissant cake. She also made a cup of tea. Then she sat on one of the chairs in his shop. Face to the window hoping that someone will come to his shop.
Seeing the person walking in front of his shop, she became reminded of her past. She once worked in a large office which belonging to her family. However, something happened and made her like she is now.
Qianru sighed. Hasn't she been determined to forget her past? Qianru tried to divert her mind by humming. Her cellphone suddenly rang. Qianru immediately took her cellphone which he placed on the counter. She received the phone call.
"Hello, this is the Sweet Choclate Shop Cake," the person who called asked.
"Right. I'm Jiang Qianru, the shop owner. Who is this?"
"I am Li Shiyu. I want to reserve your store reservation. Our young master will have a birthday tomorrow and he wants to celebrate in your shop in the afternoon, "
"Tomorrow afternoon?" Qianru looked at the calendar she had put on the wall. There are no red circles on tomorrow. Moreover, tomorrow is a holiday, the shop will be very quiet.
"My shop is small, how many people will be present?" Qianru asked
"Twenty people,"
"That's too much. My shop only fit fifteen people, "Qianru was disappointed. For the first time in half this year, finally someone ordered a reservation for one shop. However, the shop is too small.
"I've seen your shop. The small garden in front of your shop is still quite wide. You can arrange it, "Li Shiyu insisted.
"However, the cost is not small. I have to buy some chairs and tables again, "Qianru tried to give an explanation.
"Don't worry, I will give the funds. I will contact you again after I send the money, "Li Shiyu replied and the telephone connection was cut off.
Qianru sighed. She is now not sure if the person who called him was serious. Maybe he just wants to joke. Several times, Qianru got the same phone call.
However, her guess was wrong. There is an incoming message from the bank. The message said that she received a money transfer. The amount is very much.
Then the person called again.
"Miss Jiang, has the money entered?"
"The amount is very large. You can make a party at the hotel with the money you send, "Qianru felt uncomfortable.
"Our young master doesn't like fancy parties. Our master persuaded him to throw a party at home or at the hotel, but he refused. He wants a simple party. So Miss Jiang, please make a simple party for our young master, "Li Shiyi gave an explanation.
"For a simple party, the amount of money you send is too big,"
"Think of it as a gift, miss. I hope you agree. Our Young Master had came to your shop and buys your cake several times. He really hopes to make a birthday party there, "Li Shiyu tried to convince Qianru.
Hearing that this Young Master is a cake shop customer, Qianru felt uncomfortable if she refused. She sighed.
"How old is your young master?"
"Tomorrow he is seven years old," Li Shiyu replied. Qianru became reminded of a handsome boy who often bought cakes in this shop. The boy claimed that he had just moved to this city.
"Well, I think I know your Young Master. I will make the party, "Qianru said her agreement.
"Thank you, Miss Jiang," said the person.
Qianru put his cellphone on the counter. She saw wall clocks and unsold cakes. Whereas now is the time to close the shop.
Qianru took a large paper bag. Put bread that doesn't run out today into it. She also wrapped the cake into a nice place. Tomorrow morning, sge will bring this bread and cake to an orphanage in this city.
Actually, the bread and cakes made can still to eaten until tomorrow. However, Qianru has a principle to sell fresh bread and cake every day.
After arranging the bread and cake, Qianru closed the shop. The shop has her floor. The first floor is a shop and kitchen making cake and bread. The second floor is where he lives.
After closing the shop, Qianru took his cellphone. She called someone.
"Hello, Shu Yao. Do you have free time tomorrow? "Qianru immediately asked
"Jiejie (sister), is there a problem? You don't usually call at night like this, "Shu Yao asked her.
"No problem. I need your help. Someone rented my shop for Mr. his Young Master's birthday party which will be seven years old tomorrow. Invite some of your friends. I will give a decent salary for them, "
"Wow, that's good. I will invite some of my friends, "
"Tomorrow you have to come here with them. We have to arrange the store front page. My shop don't fit their guests, "
"Well. I will come quickly, "
"Bring your guitar too. You can play music for the party, right? "
"Of course I can. Jiejie, what's the name of the child who has a birthday? "
"I forgot to ask," Qianru replied and felt embarrassed. She should have asked for a birthday name, right?
"Jiejie, you have to ask his name. We have to make a happy birthday banner, "
"Alright, Shu Yao. I will ask him. Invite your girlfriend tomorrow too, "
"Yes. I first contacted her and my friends," Shu Yao immediately turned off the phone.
Qianru searched for Li Shiyu's number. She also sent a message to ask the name of Young Master. The answer immediately entered.
"Zhang Yingjie," Qianru spelled the name. Her feeling was a little uncomfortable because the young master's surname was Zhang.
"Zhang's family name is a very common family name. I shouldn't be prejudiced, "Qianru calmed herself.
Just try to writte with modern background. I hope you like it.
