“Uh…”
Vienna wasn’t quite in the role yet and felt a bit unaccustomed.
“Vienna, why don’t you stay? I’m just about to go to the gym.”
Jacob gently patted Vienna’s shoulder and added softly, “From now on, you are the boss here; you should get into character quickly.”
“Okay.”
Vienna nodded, suddenly feeling the pressure on her shoulders. After all, 8 million had been invested in this store, and she had to manage it well.
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Pink, Jacob left the coffee shop.
Once he left, Mrs. Pink took Vienna around to familiarize her with the store, introducing her to two staff members and a pastry chef as the new boss.
After doing all this, Mrs. Pink drove away in her BMW X6.
Vienna felt a bit dazed; it seemed like just over two hours had passed since she told Jacob she wanted to open a coffee shop, and now she had become the owner of such a large-scale coffee shop.
Originally, this coffee shop had five employees, but after Mrs. Pink announced she was selling the store, two of them had resigned.
Currently, the coffee shop’s business wasn’t great, and since Vienna was going to be hands-on as the boss, there was no need to hire more staff for now.
After her brain had a moment of downtime, Vienna gradually began to step into her new role, silently planning the future operations of the coffee shop when her phone suddenly rang. The caller was her long-time best friend, Jojo. They had been classmates since elementary school and had known each other for over twenty years.
“Vienna, I’ve sent the little ancestor to my mom’s place. Do you want to come find me?”
Jojo already knew about her friend’s divorce and, taking advantage of the weekend, wanted to meet up with Vienna to chat.
“Jojo, I have things to do here.”
“What could be more important than me?”
Before Vienna could finish her sentence, her good friend began to complain.
“Well, it’s like this…”
Vienna explained the situation to her.
“Ah????”
“You owned the coffee shop for 8 million just like that???”
“Vienna, you must have encountered a scammer!”
“Send me your location; I’m coming to rescue you right now!!”
After hearing the story, Jojo was very excited, her voice on the phone filled with urgency.
“Jacob is not a scammer, and I haven’t lost anything.”
Vienna thought her friend was overreacting.
Although she hadn’t known Jacob for long, she still trusted him quite a bit, especially since he hadn’t asked her for a single cent.
There was no way he was trying to scam her! As for scamming her for s*x?
That was even more ridiculous!
That Jacob had already taken care of everything!!
“Vienna, you’ve been brainwashed! Quickly send me the address!”
“I must rescue you from this predicament!”
Jojo didn’t believe Vienna’s words at all, speaking with righteous indignation.
“Alright, alright, come over then.”
“Just in time to chat.”
Although Vienna didn’t think she had been scammed, Jojo had experience running a milk tea shop and could help her come up with ideas on how to run this coffee shop well.
About twenty minutes later, Jojo rushed into the coffee shop.
This woman was quite tall, wearing a khaki trench coat, paired with jeans and knee-high boots. She had a decent figure, but her looks paled in comparison to Vienna’s.
“Jojo, let’s go upstairs to chat.”
Vienna led her good friend into the orange private room and had the staff bring two cups of coffee.
“Vienna, what’s going on? You’ve become the boss just like that?”
“He didn’t make you sign any loan agreements or mortgage agreements, did he?”
Jojo had been sizing up the coffee shop since she entered.
Although the decor was average, the space was large enough, with about 140 to 150 square meters upstairs and downstairs. To put it in perspective, the Starbucks in Buzzville City was only a little over 50 square meters.
And a wealthy man she had only known for a short time had directly given Vienna such a large shop; it was simply the stuff of dreams for women, a classic “Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with a Divorced Woman” scenario! However, even the screenwriter of “My First Half of Life” would shake their head at such a plot! So Jojo was quite skeptical: “Vienna, I think you’ve just been at home too long.”
“I’ve been saying you should find a job, even if it doesn’t pay much, at least you won’t be out of touch with society. How could you fall for such an obvious scam? No wonder you were deceived by that scumbag Rick!!”
As a close friend of over twenty years, Jojo didn’t hold back at all, launching a barrage of criticism.
Vienna knew her friend meant well, so she directly handed over the two contracts: “I believe Jacob won’t scam me; the contracts are right here, take a look for yourself.”
“You are just too naive!”
Jojo shook her head and then seriously began to read the contracts, looking for any loopholes.
In her view, there had to be a trap in these contracts.
However, after looking for a long time, she couldn’t find any abnormal clauses.
