Chapter 131 – 131 – Dajeong Is Kind (1)
The autumn breeze was cool.
“The weather’s nice~.”
I wore a suit for the interview, but I didn’t wear one for my first day of work.
I put on a reasonably neat outfit suitable for autumn and crossed the crosswalk. Across the street, I saw a two-story cafe.
The cafe was about a 10-minute walk from my house.
The cafe had a sophisticated exterior, but the interior was decorated to create a cozy atmosphere that would comfortably envelop customers.
It wasn’t open yet, so the entrance was locked.
Since it was locked from the inside, I had to go to the staff entrance to get in for the first time.
I entered the building where the cafe was located and headed towards the staff entrance. Soon, I heard women’s voices.
“What time do you finish work, Unnie?”
“I finish at 2:20~.”
“Oh, then we’ll leave work together.”
Two women were talking in front of the exit.
It was a little past 7:10 AM, an early hour.
The official opening time for work was 7:20 AM, but they were already here. I smiled and spoke to them.
“You’re here early.”
“Ah! Hello, Boss.”
“Hello. It’s not that early, I arrived about 5 minutes ago~.”
The two women looked slightly surprised to see me, then smiled brightly.
“You’re Jeong Chae-eun and Lee Shin-ah, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Yes.”
The woman with purple wavy hair who looked chic was Jeong Chae-eun, and the woman with a bright impression and long hair was Lee Shin-ah.
Jeong Chae-eun was the weekday bakery part applicant. Lee Shin-ah was the weekday barista part applicant.
Both of them had a very bright golden glow shown by the Luck Tracker, and their tendencies were good, so I readily hired them.
Moreover, Lee Shin-ah was a friend recommended by Yujeong noona. That made me trust her even more.
And they were pretty too.
“Come in. From now on, I’ll give you both card keys, so you won’t have to wait outside. Today is your first day, so let’s start with fingerprint registration… Ah, did you bring your seals?”
“Yes, here it is.”
“I brought it.”
“Ah, we’ll use that later. Let me tell you the basics first.”
“Okay.”
The first employees to start work were the three opening shift workers at 7:20 AM. For weekdays, that was Jeong Chae-eun, Lee Shin-ah, and Yujeong noona.
They would prepare for opening, such as warming up the equipment, for 40 minutes, and then start serving customers at 8:00 AM sharp.
Although, today was the first day of the soft opening, so it wasn’t quite like that.
Of course, three people couldn’t cover the entire morning shift.
The three of them were just in charge of opening earlier, and at 7:50 AM, the morning part-timers would also come in to start preparing. Then, around 2 PM, they would switch with the afternoon part-timers.
Yujeong noona was the only one who worked from morning to evening, and I agreed to give her a lot of overtime pay for that.
Speak of the devil, Yujeong noona arrived just then.
“Jinhyeon-ah, I’m here-. Oh! Shin-ah, you’re here really early too.”
“Yujeong-ah!”
“How is it? The cafe is really pretty, right?”
“Yeah, yeah. It seems like it.”
Yujeong noona and Shin-ah greeted each other happily. Then, noona’s gaze reached Jeong Chae-eun.
“Oh, I’m sure your name is…”
They didn’t know each other’s names yet because they weren’t wearing name tags.
“I’m Jeong Chae-eun.”
“Ah, Chae-eun-ssi, I’m Yoon Yujeong. Please take care of me.”
“Yes, Unnie.”
With Yujeong noona joining, the atmosphere became even brighter.
We told Jeong Chae-eun and Lee Shin-ah what the opening shift had to do, and we did the basic things like fingerprint registration, name tags, and card key distribution.
“This is the menu I’m planning for now. Take a look and feel free to give me your opinions anytime.”
“Okay.”
All the necessary ingredients and equipment were prepared, and when I told them the basic menu I had in mind, they both nodded.
“Hello…?”
“You’re Yang Ji-soo, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Come this way.”
Soon, it was 7:50 AM, and the morning shift workers started arriving one by one. I left the basic training to Yujeong noona and started issuing stickers.
[Effect Granted: Space, Stability Level 1]
– Being in a space with this effect will make you feel slightly more stable.
[Effect Granted: Space, Happiness Level 1]
– Being in a space with this effect will make you feel slightly happier.
[Effect Granted: Space, Focus Level 1]
– Being in a space with this effect will allow you to exert a little more focus on what you want to do.
[Effect Granted: Clothing, Willpower Level 1]
– Wearing clothing with this effect will slightly increase your willpower for the task you are currently doing.
[Effect Granted: Item, Attention Level 1]
– Looking at an item with this effect will make you pay a little more attention to it.
I gave the entire cafe space the effects of stability and happiness. Of course, that included my personal office and the guest room.
And I gave my personal office and the guest room the additional effect of focus.
I attached stickers with the willpower effect to the cafe’s uniforms, and stickers with the attention effect to the cafe’s sign.
[Effect Granted: Item, Flavor Level 1]
[Effect Granted: Item, Attraction Level 1]
I attached stickers that deepened the flavor and stickers that made people want to eat it again to the coffee machine and other cooking utensils.
Thanks to that, I spent a lot of coins, 70,000, but I thought it was a small amount compared to the returns I would get in the future.
I could easily recover 70,000 coins in just 20 days if I worked my dick hard.
My dick.
Let’s try a little harder.
Besides, now that there was an interest system, the speed at which I accumulated coins had become even faster.
“Oh, it’s delicious.”
“Right? I was surprised too.”
Americano and cafe latte.
When I told Yujeong noona, who came up with two basic coffees, my impressions, Yujeong noona nodded repeatedly.
“Noona’s friend is very talented, isn’t she?”
“I didn’t know she was that good either.”
I had prepared high-quality coffee beans, and I had also given them the flavor and attraction effects, so it was natural that they were delicious.
Even so, the taste was beyond my expectations.
If the coffee was this good, the basics were more than enough.
I had attached stickers to all sorts of equipment, even the syrup bottles, so I thought that other drinks would probably taste just as good.
“Noona, you should try it too.”
“It’s okay. I’ve already had plenty.”
“I’ll give you something good, so don’t refuse, come here.”
“Ah…”
When I patted my knee, Yujeong noona seemed to realize something and ran over to sit sideways on one of my knees.
I took a sip of coffee, held it in my mouth, and deeply embraced Yujeong noona’s waist.
“Mmm, smack, slurp, gulp…”
Yujeong noona’s soft lips opened as soon as my lips touched them. Yujeong noona, who drank the coffee I transferred from my mouth to hers, sucked my tongue deeply.
“Chuuup, chuuup, smooch… Haa, I was wondering when you were going to do that.”
Yujeong noona, who was moaning sweetly, looked at me with a flushed face.
