No Substitution

Chapter 7

That is how I wanted Yibo's foam art on Zhan's Caramel macchiato.

"We want to do a lot of stuff; we're not in a great shape. We didn't get a good night's sleep. We're a little depressed. Coffee solves all these problems in one delightful little cup."

To plan with pudding

Two days later Xiao Zhan came into the cafe stomping his foot huffing and puffing.

Haoxuan that little devil I'm going to kill him Zhan scolded in his mind and he has a valid reason too. Jiyang was supposed to help Xiao Zhan with the Themes and design selection. Last time the handsome face did no help. So Jiyang agreed to help him when he asked. But the little devil Haoxuan kidnapped Jiyang for a date now he has no-one to help.

It is not of Zhan's inability or that his decisions are bad, that seeks others opinion. Because Zhan is a man of style, his choices are upto Trend and has the clients delighted. Not once has he received a unsatisfied review from a client. His work is neat and perfect that the client most of the time would ask Zhan to surprise them with his creativity and never once  were the clients felt disappointed. Zhan and his charming Self and talent can impress everyone and can make anyone fall for him including our Ice prince Zhan's handsome face.

Zhan's best interest was only one thought to please the the client, nonetheless the cafe has to be upto the owner's liking but Ziyi is a lost cause and no use for now. She did not have any idea for the cafe nor any requests to which Zhan is annoyed.

So the second best options are the employees. It has to be upto their liking, a comfortable work environment to please both employees and also customers.

Zhan came storming into the cafe stood right infront of Jili " As the manager of this cafe I demand you to give your opinion on my designs"

"Zhan ge I would love to take part but I'm really busy now. How about this I'll cover for little Yibo here and he can help you"

"But last time Bodi was not of any help" Zhan whined like a teenager."

"I'll make sure he does. You take a seat I'll send your coffee"

Zhan went to his window seat and took his designs and laptop out to work.
Yibo came by few minutes later with Zhan's coffee, Cheese sandwich and a custard pudding to Calm the whining baby.

Zhan saw Yibo with his treats gave a pleaded look with some sass
" Take your seat handsome face gotta get this work done"

"I'll help Zhange"

" Okay. Listen I have 6 designs for themes I'll show you and let me know if it fits else we can always make changes"

"Okay"

"I'm pushing for opinion because coffee shops are the go-to spot for the customers. The interior of the shop has the ability to engage the guests, increase comfort and makes them come back. The interior adds to the food's taste, the pleasing setting makes you comfortable and enjoy the food. Even a glass of water can make one satisfied in a sculpture glass such that, do you get it?"

Yibo was pleased to hear Zhan's thought and how much he values such simple things that we don't give much thought to. Through the little speech Yibo felt Zhan's passion towards his work that made Yibo like Zhan even more.
