Opening an office in Taila

"Sir, would you like a private room?" At the entrance of the teahouse, the waiter stopped Song Yufeng and Jingyu and asked.

"No, I'm looking for room 502." Song Yufeng said.

"Oh, you are Mr. Song? Mr. Lin specifically told me to come this way." The waiter immediately and respectfully brought Song Yufeng to the door of the private room 502.

"Mr. Song, Mr. Lin has been waiting inside for a moment. Please come in. I won't disturb you for now."

After the waiter left, Song Yufeng immediately observed the surroundings of the room. Well, if he jumped out of the window from here, he could quickly leave the main road and go directly to the alley.

This is Song Yufeng's habit. It never hurts to be cautious.

"So cautious? Isn't it necessary?" Jingyu asked.

"What if it's a trap? We must always prepare for the worst."

After determining the escape route, he pushed open the door. In the room, only Lin Yuxia and the Rat King were there.

Seeing Song Yufeng and Jingyu coming in, Lin Yuxia just glanced at Song Yufeng lightly, and then without saying a word, she just prepared the tea set and started to make tea.

"Mr. Song, it's so late. I'm really sorry to disturb your rest and invite you to discuss things."

"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, it should be me who speaks up. I'm the one who bothered you and wanted you to tell me the whole story."

"Hehe, why should we be so polite? This must be Miss Jingyu, I have heard of your name. Thank you for what you have done for the slums." The Rat King laughed.

"No, no, it's my honor. I just can't bear to see them end up like this."

"It would be great if there were more people like Miss Jingyu in the world. Please come in. The tea in this teahouse is quite good and the scenery is nice too. It's a pity that I heard it will be demolished soon and replaced by a coffee shop." The Rat King suddenly said dejectedly.

"This is a good thing. Nowadays, coffee shops are places where young people gather. Converting them into coffee shops shows that the young people in this area are energetic and pursue the trends of the times." Song Yufeng replied.

"Well, it's a good thing for young people to have their own ideas. However, sometimes, the ideas of us older people should also be respected. I don't want to change it into a coffee shop. If you want to respect the ideas of young people, you can just open one next to the teahouse. Why do you have to interfere with the original existence? Alas!" The Rat King sighed.

Byd Lao Deng's words have hidden meaning.

Song Yufeng smiled calmly and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Fewer people come to the teahouse, and it can no longer create value for Longmen's economy. Switching to a more popular, younger coffee shop will be beneficial to economic development."

"Really? Then the cafe will definitely become outdated one day, and then it will have to be demolished too."

"Yes, but considering the current situation, as long as it can contribute to the economy and conform to the interests of the general public, it should be adopted, rather than opposing the establishment of a cafe just for the selfish interests of a few people. Don't you think so, Mr. Lin?" Song Yufeng said with a smile.

"That's true, but I'm old and stubborn. I really can't bear to part with this teahouse. I've already made connections, and this teahouse won't be demolished in the future. The coffee shop will be built somewhere else. I can only say sorry to the young people here." The Rat King said with a smile.

"So that's how it is. Mr. Lin has a good method. It's a pity that these young people need to go somewhere else to drink coffee. Or, maybe in the future teahouses will also launch a model of co-operating coffee and tea?" Song Yufeng said with a smile.

"It's a pity that I don't like the taste of other drinks besides my tea. So, I'm afraid this model will not exist." The Rat King shook his head.

"I see. Thank you Mr. Lin for the tea today. It tastes really good, but it's a pity that it's not top quality. If this tea could never be drunk again, it would probably be even more fragrant." Song Yufeng stood up and said.

"I don't know what Mr. Song likes. I personally prefer lighter coffee. It seems Mr. Song also likes strong coffee?"

"Not really, I just prefer the aroma of the cafe." Song Yufeng walked to the door and suddenly turned back and said, "But Mr. Lin, I still have to say this. If you want a place's economy to continue to develop, you must eliminate the old and welcome the new. Otherwise, you will only become complacent, constantly rigid, and eventually reach a trough. Don't forget, human needs will not disappear on their own."

"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Song. Goodbye. By the way, if Miss Jingyu is free, you can come visit me."

"I will." After saying that, Jingyu hurriedly followed Song Yufeng and left.

"No, buddy, didn't you come here to discuss business with the Rat King? Why have you been talking about tea and coffee from beginning to end?" After leaving the teahouse, Jingyu asked Song Yufeng.

"We have already said everything we wanted to say. The talks broke down. He really doesn't want me to get involved." Song Yufeng took out the lollipop from his pocket and put it in his mouth.

"Huh? When did the conversation end? I didn't even hear it..."

"So, you still need to practice. Old guys like this always have hidden meanings."

"Oh……"

"Forget it. We've already accepted Lin Yuxia's commission. Let's go back and have a good sleep first. We'll set out to investigate this matter during the day."
