Pushing open the door of the coffee shop, the bitter smell of milk came. Ye Hui relaxed his nerves slightly when he smelled the familiar smell.
Looking around, the first thing that caught my eye was a few neatly arranged tables and chairs and a front desk.
This coffee shop is mainly divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower. The upper floor is the residential area. This was originally the accommodation area for employees, but most of the employees he hired were local students, so the residential area was generally empty.
The middle floor is where Ye Huixian is, where the service area welcomes customers. However, under the operation of shopkeeper Ye Hui, there are usually few customers.
The lower floor is the basement of the cafe. If the coffee beans are stored in the basement, they are likely to get damp, so it is currently idle.
Ye Hui came to the front desk, turned on the computer, looked through the recent messages, and found that they were just some replenishment reminders, so he closed the front desk computer.
Take out a can of ground coffee from the kitchen, take out a piece of filter paper, fold it into a cone shape, and put it into the cup.
Use hot water to dilute the flavor of the filter paper, then pour the ground coffee powder into the filter paper, use your little finger to poke a small hole in the center, and then pour the hot water along the hole.
Soon, the aroma of coffee filled the front desk. Ye Hui covered the mouth of the cup and began to wait.
"It's really professional."
Butcher Wang was carrying a piece of raw meat when he saw Ye Hui making coffee.
"It's not a big deal, I just learned a little from others."
Ye Hui was not surprised by Butcher Wang's sudden arrival. Butcher Wang should have noticed how extraordinary he was.
"Brother Ye, I saw that Li Houhou also called you that, so I called you that. What happened just now was my fault. This is my apology. We all have to get along well in the future, don't you think so."
Butcher Wang looked at Ye Hui in front of him. He did see Ye Hui's extraordinary qualities, so he hoped that Ye Hui would not cause trouble for him.
"It doesn't matter, we are all neighbors, so naturally we should get along well with each other."
Ye Hui took off the lid of the cup, took out the filter paper, and threw it into the trash can next to him, without throwing out a drop of juice.
"Since Brother Ye has forgiven me, I will make amends here."
Butcher Wang cupped his fists and bowed. It was precisely because he saw how extraordinary Ye Hui was that he chose to stop him. But what he didn't expect was that the result was a bit embarrassing.
After watching Butcher Wang leave, Ye Hui picked up the coffee placed on the table. The bitter taste filled his mouth. Ye Hui sat back in the armchair with his brows relaxed.
Just when Ye Hui was about to taste it carefully, his relaxed eyebrows suddenly frowned. He put down the coffee cup in his hand and looked at the group photo placed on the front desk.
"Is the coffee I grind still not as good as yours? Or even though three years have passed, I still..."
Following Ye Hui's gaze, it was a photo of Ye Hui and a pretty girl.
The girl smiled happily, showing two rows of white teeth and a pair of beautiful eyes. She held Ye Hui's arms with both hands and smiled very proudly.
Ye Hui closed his eyes slightly, and scenes of beautiful memories flooded into his mind. But when he thought of the current situation, this beauty was gradually replaced by sadness.
"Hey~"
Ye Hui buttoned up the photo, sighed helplessly, and looked into the distance.
…
In Angan City, in a primary school, during the peak period of school, groups of children walked into the school gate in an orderly manner. Although most of them had a trace of reluctance on their faces, the school was undoubtedly the place where children 's holy place.
"Teacher Li? Didn't you ask for leave? Why..."
In Li Mengya's classroom office, the dean, who was ready to take over as a substitute teacher, looked at a pretty girl with bright eyes and sounded a little surprised.
"Now...it doesn't matter anymore."
Li Mengya panted heavily. She rushed to school, sat down slowly in her office, and received the class schedule handed over by the dean.
"Teacher Li, don't force yourself. You scared us last week. Have you gone to the hospital for a check-up?"
"Director, I've gone to the hospital for a checkup. It's just a minor problem, nothing to worry about."
Li Mengya smiled and spoke. This smile coupled with her delicate face made some male teachers who were still single feel their hearts beat faster.
"Just check it out. This is the first time I've seen you cry so sadly. How painful does it have to be?"
Thinking of Li Mengya, who was clutching her chest and crying softly, the dean couldn't help but shudder. It was a sad and silent cry.
"Director, it's getting late. I have to go prepare for class."
Seeing that the topic was about the wrong topic, Li Mengya quickly found an excuse and hurried out of the office on high heels.
"This kid Li Mengya is full of energy and is really good."
A bald man poured himself a cup of strong tea and looked at Li Mengya's back with admiration in his eyes. He was the principal of this school.
"Graduated from a college with both arts and sciences. If it weren't for the pressure, I would really want her to take charge of a few more classes."
The dean adjusted his glasses. In this era of emphasis on education, it is not easy to recruit a capable teacher in a third-tier city.
"With her ability, even if she goes to a first-tier key university, she will probably be a target of competition. And the coffee she makes is really good. Even I, a Tea Party member for many years, almost rebelled against the party."
The principal put down the tea cup in his hand, laughed playfully, and looked at the coffee powder placed aside.
…
At noon, in the cafe, the entire commercial street became noisy due to the lunch.
The cafe where Ye Hui was located was in sharp contrast to the noise outside. Generally, no college student would visit a cafe without a front desk during meals.
Ye Hui, who was in the living area on the second floor, was also very happy after rummaging through a series of numbers.
He took out a mobile phone with camouflage buttons and broadcasted this series of numbers. This mobile phone was connected to a private communication satellite, so it was protected from eavesdropping and could be used to locate the phone.
"Du~du~du~click!"
When the call was hung up, Ye Hui was not discouraged, but continued to dial the number. After hanging up 18 times in a row, the call was finally answered.
"It's me, Dark Night."
Ye Hui was the first to speak. He knew what the other party was afraid of, so he spoke first to reveal his identity.
"Dark Night? You're not dead?"
There was a female voice on the opposite side, and the tone was quite unexpected. This made Ye Hui completely convinced that he was already 'dead', whether it was light or dark.
"Aren't you going to explain your information?"
“…”
The other side didn't speak, probably thinking about countermeasures. After all, the intelligence dealer's inaccurate information was tantamount to Xinwen Network reporting fake news, which was a huge blow to credibility.
"Your enemy has fled abroad. I will send you the specific location later. This is free information for you. If I am wrong, all my information in the future will be free for you."
"Compared with these, I'm more curious, how was my whereabouts exposed?"
Ye Hui's tone contained murderous intent. If this information dealer dared to be a two-faced person, he would definitely kill him at all costs.
"An Ye, as an information dealer, my survival to this day is the best proof."
After hearing this, Ye Hui hung up the phone. The information dealer was still useful. He couldn't offend him too much, so just being reasonable was enough.
