Chapter 3114 Coffee in a basin

"Can this be the same? Besides, do they deserve to drink the coffee I brewed myself?"

Li Menglong held his head high, looking like an old and arrogant person, and just looking at him made him want to be punched.

The landlady thought so, and she did so. Anyway, there was no need for her to worry. How dare Li Menglong fight back?

Li Menglong naturally didn't dare. To be honest, he even hesitated to dodge.

To put it more exaggeratedly, the landlady dealt with him just like beating his "son", her blood was completely suppressed, leaving no room for resistance.

Fortunately, the landlady didn't use any effort, she just expressed her dissatisfaction.

As for this business, although she thought Li Menglong was wasting money, if the other party insisted on spending, could she still watch the business slip away?

But when she saw Li Menglong take out Xu Xian's bank card, she instantly understood what was going on.

After all, it's still a matter of money. Now that he doesn't have to pay for it himself, Li Menglong is naturally much more generous.

But there is also a contradiction in saying this, because Li Menglong is still trying to bargain. What exactly is he thinking?

If you really want to save money, go upstairs and do it yourself, don't be pretentious here.

But for Li Menglong himself, this will not be a problem: "Just tell me what discount you can give. If it is too expensive, I will buy it outside."

Li Menglong is still exerting pressure here. Although this kind of shopping comparison is correct, it will indeed make the merchants on the opposite side unhappy.

As long as the business is decent, basically they will not receive such customers. If this business is not done, it is not enough, so don't be so arrogant!

It's just that the relationship between the boss's wife and Li Menglong is a bit special after all. If you don't make money, you won't make it in vain.

So after several rounds of bargaining, the two finally succeeded in getting the coffee order on the second floor at a 50% discount.

This discount seems quite exaggerated. Generally speaking, the gross profit margin of food is only this much.

But the type of coffee is so special that it can be said that it is a drink that can be given away for free, but the landlady still insists on setting a price.

The main thing to guard against in this move is people like Li Menglong who like to take advantage of small things. Of course, the advantage can also be reflected in pricing.

The original package includes a cup of coffee, which adds a lot to the price tag. In fact, the actual price is almost the same.

This kind of small tricks are quite common in catering, especially some so-called set meals. In the past, there were often many not-so-valuable add-on items.

However, these have little to do with Li Menglong. He has not participated in the specific operation of the store for a long time.

Judging from the dividends at the end of the year alone, the store should be running quite well.

This is also in line with everyone's understanding. With such a large flow of people in the company, and girls helping to increase the popularity from time to time, it would be really unreasonable to lose money again.

The proprietress is indeed well-run. For example, the coffee at this moment not only does not lose money, but also makes a small profit.

She carefully estimated the cost of the coffee and discovered that the more expensive part was the paper cup itself.

So she decisively gave up the huge cost, took out a huge stainless steel basin from the back kitchen, and motioned to Li Menglong to take it.

"Put the coffee in a basin? Then should I bring some bowls and chopsticks over there so that everyone can just drink from the bowls?"

"If you can take on the cleaning work afterward, I can lend you a batch of dishes and chopsticks, but you have to provide a certain deposit!"

Originally, Li Menglong was just joking to express his dissatisfaction, but he didn't expect the boss lady to take it seriously.

She still wants a deposit. What does this mean? Can Li Menglong still run away with these bowls and chopsticks?

The two exchanged words again, and the process was quite intense.

But to be precise, it was just Li Menglong's unilateral excitement. The landlady kept saying the same thing over and over again: If you don't accept this, add more money!

This hand really hit Li Menglong's seven inches. He really didn't want to pay more, even if he was embarrassed!

Li Menglong can completely imagine the scene when he goes up with a basin of coffee, but is this important?

The respect of those people will not increase his income, and their contempt will not affect Li Menglong himself.

They can't possibly use negative work as revenge against Li Menglong, right?

If they really dare to do this, Li Menglong will be happy. Everyone can compete to see whose method is better!

Li Menglong is confident that he will win in the end!

Besides, why do these people despise him? Regardless of what he brought here, he came with good intentions after all.

Who have the right to despise those people who take naps during working hours? They don’t deserve it!

Listening to Li Menglong's muttering, the face of the landlady changed again and again.

At first, I didn't expect that Li Menglong would actually do this, but later I was shocked by his shamelessness.

People use their lunch break to take naps. Did Li Menglong forget that there is such a thing as a lunch break? Think that as long as you are in the company, it is working time?

In the end, she did not choose to continue speaking, because she would have to waste a lot of saliva to stop Li Menglong.

The landlady is also tired. Besides, what does Li Menglong’s shame have to do with her?

Anyway, he has been embarrassed so many times, so one more incident shouldn't have a fundamental impact on him, right?

Looking at Li Menglong's cautiously leaving figure, the landlady couldn't bear to look at him.

She was actually a little curious about the expressions of the people upstairs when they saw this. How about finding an excuse to go up and take a look?

Not to mention the subsequent actions of the landlady, Li Menglong was as slow as a tortoise when he climbed the stairs.

Who made him be too greedy before and insisted on filling this pot, which made him difficult to move forward now.

Fortunately, there were only a few steps in total, so he finally climbed up. The next step should be smooth, but there were always people who were against him.

"Oppa, what are you doing? Why are your posture so weird?"

Yoona's character is really familiar, at least in front of Li Menglong. While talking, she didn't forget to step forward and pat Li Menglong on the shoulder.

She is ready for the next fist bump. We are all good brothers. In this case, can her next work be arranged more easily?

It's just that Yoona's flattery this time was slapped hard on the horse's leg. Li Menglong looked at the coffee stains on the ground and really wanted Yoona to lick it clean. It's all a cost!

Because Li Menglong didn't turn around for a long time, Yoona not only went around to the front, but also discovered Li Menglong's magical operation.

What do you mean by this basin of "sewage"? Did Li Menglong just go to clean it on a voluntary basis? But where did he stuff the rag again?

"Sewage? Have you ever seen sewage with such a strong aroma?"

Li Menglong angrily scolded Yoona, mainly because of the color alone, it was difficult for him to say that Yoona's words were wrong.

Sure enough, the same liquid placed in different containers will have completely different effects.

But Yoona obviously didn't have such a deep understanding. She naively thought that Li Menglong was lying to her.

She lowered her head and lay on it, sniffing the smell, trying to analyze the source of the "sewage". There should be a difference whether she wiped the glass or the railings.

But Li Menglong had gone to clean the coffee machine, otherwise why would there be such a strong coffee aroma.

If the stainless steel basin wasn't too out of place, Yoona would definitely think it was coffee.

"This is coffee, don't get so close, others will drink it!"

Li Menglong turned around slowly in disgust, but Yoona followed him reluctantly: "This is coffee? Who are you kidding? Do you dare to take a sip yourself?"

"Then what? Shouldn't you make some conditions? For example, if I dare, you will hand over all your property to me!"

When Li Menglong headed to the office again, he also did not forget to coax Yoona's property.

Speaking of which, this kind of conversation has happened between the two of them more than once. To be honest, Yoona has lost to Lee Mong-ryong so many times. She is already a pauper.

Although she knew that Li Menglong wouldn't take it seriously, Yoona didn't want to repeatedly linger on the edge of bankruptcy, making her look like a prodigal.

She was really curious at this moment. Could it be that everything Li Menglong said was true?

Sure enough, when it comes to pranks, they all have to lean back. Li Menglong is the master, and he pulls big ones from time to time.

But Yoona still has the slightest suspicion. Isn't this a prank from Lee Mong-ryong's prank?

For example, after deceiving everyone's trust, everyone came to the same conclusion after tasting it. This is actually a pot of "dirty water" that smells like coffee!

I have to say that Yoona's imagination is really rich, and he, Li Menglong, is not crazy. Is there any benefit in offending everyone like this?

Besides, a basin of "dirty water" smells like coffee and tastes like coffee, so what's the difference between it and coffee?

When Li Menglong came to the office, in order to prevent the recurrence of the previous incident, he directly asked everyone to get out of the way and not block the way!

Because they were far away, everyone only saw Li Menglong holding the basin, and naturally thought that there should be clean water inside.

Although he didn't know why he did this, he still subconsciously reminded each other to get out of the way. Could this be his revenge?

Everyone has learned from Xu Xian what happened before, that is, Li Menglong wanted to start work during their lunch break.

Although this is Li Menglong's problem, in workplace life, the fault is often the fault of the subordinates. How can the leader have problems?

Although the leader Li Menglong is a bit weird, the situation is similar. If he really wants to take revenge on everyone, it won't be too difficult.

For example, let's take everyone together to clean up in the afternoon. This is very tiring. Is he sure he wants to do this?

Maybe the only one who has different ideas is Xu Xian. After all, she told Li Menglong to buy coffee before, so...

Xu Xian feels that his imagination has improved a lot recently, probably because he has had too much contact with girls and Li Menglong, so he has actively or passively improved in this aspect.

But there should be a barrier between imagination and reality, just like any normal person would never use a basin to hold coffee!

While Xu Xian was persuading himself, he confidently went up to check: "Oppa, are you planning to do some general cleaning? You can leave these chores to me."

Although he didn't know why Xu Xian suddenly said this, Li Menglong accepted her kindness and said that he would rather take on the work himself.

But don’t rush to say this, come and drink coffee quickly, he brought it up with so much effort, let’s drink it while it’s hot!

That's right, Li Menglong's pot of coffee was still hot because the landlady asked for separate payment for the ice cubes. How could he give it to her?

Besides, if ice cubes are added, it will occupy the space of the coffee in the basin. Relatively speaking, he will drink a lot less coffee. This account can be calculated clearly.

Looking at the steaming coffee, Xu Xian was really desperate this time: "Oppa, is that coffee in this basin?"

"Of course, this is what you ordered me to do. Everyone brings their own bowls and chopsticks to serve. Don't be polite, but remember to thank Xu Xian when you drink!"

Li Menglong shouted enthusiastically to everyone around him as if he was soliciting business.

But Xu Xian's expression was extremely resistant. If possible, could Li Menglong not have anything to do with this coffee?

Although it was indeed her who paid for it, she was willing to be a tool, and she didn't need to have any sense of existence in it!

But Li Menglong is not such a heartless person. Since he has used Xu Xian's money, he must make the little girl famous. This is his basic principle of life!

Why didn't the passionate scene in my imagination appear? Everyone was watching. Could it be that they were embarrassed?

These people are really being pretentious. Why didn't they show any courtesy to them when we invited them to dinner before?

So Li Menglong directly "came to deliver warmth". They couldn't come over, so he could take the initiative to deliver it.

But then he needed a helper. Just when he was about to turn around and call Xu Xian, he found that the little girl had mysteriously disappeared.

What's going on? Is the little girl in a hurry to go to the bathroom?

Since Xu Xian is not here, we can only catch Yoona, a strong man: "Come here and use this rice spoon to serve everyone coffee. Remember to give more, we are not stingy!"

Yoona actually saw Xu Xian's dodge action, and the other party just squatted down and hid behind the table.

Yoona thought this action was superfluous before, but now it seems that it is full of desire for survival, and she is one step behind.

As a result, she now had to go over and cooperate, but she didn't have the guts to refuse.

Because Li Menglong is not a person without a wink, he can distinguish the atmosphere of the scene, and he knows the concerns and even contempt of this group of people.

But he pretended not to notice anything. He was still self-centered and enthusiastic. He didn't believe that these people dared to reject his "good intentions".

So Yoona took a rice spoon for cooking and put coffee in everyone's bowls and cups with a slight embarrassment.

Apart from anything else, this long-handled spoon is extremely easy to use. Yoona gradually feels a little more comfortable with it, which is very strange.
