Chapter 800: Chapter 800: Hmph, Still Preserved
Wen Yanqing watched as Lin Gantang opened Fu Lin’s photo.
It would have been fine just to look, but she kept flipping back and forth!
Wen Yanqing clenched his teeth in secret.
After admiring Fu Lin’s handsome photo for a while, Lin Gantang pressed save and noticed that Wen Yanqing still hadn’t taken the medicine. Puzzled, she asked, “What’s wrong? Time to take your medicine.”
Wen Yanqing moved his fingertips and picked up the medicine.
Hmph, she even saved it.
Lin Gantang then placed another candy in his palm, “You go on with your work; I’ll sort out the video materials.”
“Oh.” Wen Yanqing placed the candy in his mouth and bit down hard.
“?” Why bite so forcefully, doesn’t it hurt your teeth? Lin Gantang cautioned, “Remember to take your medicine.”
She then picked up her phone and turned away.
During work, Yi Qian came in several times. Lin Gantang was busy with her own work and didn’t pay attention to Wen Yanqing’s condition.
Not until lunchtime, when Yi Qian asked if they needed to order food, did Wen Yanqing say it wasn’t necessary.
Seeing him getting ready to go out to a restaurant, Lin Gantang asked, “Not busy this afternoon?”
“Don’t feel like being busy,” Wen Yanqing extended his palm, “Didn’t you say you wanted to check out the bookstore? I’ll go with you.”
Lin Gantang instinctively took his hand, “I can go by myself, it’s just a small matter.”
It’s not a small matter, after the bookstore you’ll definitely go to Qixing, to yearn for another man, and you won’t even tell me, thinking of sneaking off on your own.
Wen Yanqing held Lin Gantang’s hand tightly.
The driver dropped the two off at Hejiang Square, and after having lunch, they prepared to walk to the bookstore.
Lin Gantang passed by the cat café and bookstore.
She was aware of this shop but had never been there.
Peering into the bookstore, she immediately saw the large cat climbing frame in the floor-to-ceiling windows, a decent number of customers inside, with several cats squatting at the very top of the frame while two girls gazed up at them, unable to touch.
It was just as the fans had mentioned, the cats in the bookstore were generally overweight.
Lin Gantang withdrew her gaze.
Bobo Milk Tea once commented that the cat café and bookstore had tried to attract customers by adopting her idea of adopting stray cats, but they had to give up after a short while.
First, they wanted to use it as a gimmick, but the cats they brought back weren’t carefully selected, they just picked the good-looking ones, and ended up with both good and bad temperaments, which hurt the customers.
Second, adopting cats meant treating diseases, feeding, and inspections, as well as the possibility of having to constantly care for those not adopted by customers, which was a significant expense.
Lin Gantang initially wasn’t after money; she wanted to do her utmost to find suitable owners for the cats, but the cat café and bookstore couldn’t manage that. Once they realized they’d have to keep putting money in, they naturally gave up.
Lin Gantang had no right to question or interfere with others’ ways of managing their business; she could only strive to do better herself.
She continued walking forward, holding Wen Yanqing’s hand, when suddenly she heard someone behind her calling out, “Boss.”
The voice sounded a bit familiar.
Lin Gantang turned around and saw it was Xiao Yang, a former employee of the bookstore.
“Boss, are you here to reopen the store?” It had been a long time since they’d seen each other, and Xiao Yang seemed a bit restrained in her presence.
Lin Gantang glanced at the cat café and bookstore not far behind her, then looked at Xiao Yang, smiled faintly, and said, “I’m not your boss anymore; you can just call me Gantang. I came to check out the renovation plans. What about you? Are you working around here?”
Xiao Yang nodded, then shook his head, “I quit.”
Lin Gantang knew about Xiao Yang’s situation: married for two years, with housing and car loans, and his wife was pregnant, closing in on her due date.
Since he needed to support his family, Xiao Yang was very diligent at work; quitting meant losing his income, which didn’t seem characteristic of his pursuit of stability.
Hearing that the bookstore was being renovated, Xiao Yang’s face showed a mix of hope and embarrassment as he hesitated and said, “Boss, if the bookstore reopens, could I possibly come back to work there?”
