Episode 9 recap: Anting Sparrow Cafe opened, and Lin Tuo took over the business alone.
After some efforts by several people for a period of time, Anting Sparrow and He Xindi finally found a suitable storefront. Anting Sparrow requested that the decoration here should have unique characteristics and charm. Lin Tuo took charge of all the decoration and carpentry work. Chen Guangpu, as one of the shareholders, was also busy under the supervision of He Xindi. Lin Tuo single-handedly managed the design and craftsmanship, taking on the entire decoration project of the cafe. During that time, Lin Tuo worked at Jia's during the day and rushed to the store after work. Sometimes his hands didn't obey him, but Lin Tuo felt that his health had always been good and there wouldn't be any problems, probably just fatigue.
The cafe officially opened, and Anting Sparrow named it "Hua Wei Art Workshop." He Xindi's live streaming room also went online, and business was surprisingly good. Chen Guangpu, as one of the owners and the only waiter, was busy under He Xindi's command. He complained to Anting Sparrow and even asked her to persuade her boyfriend, Lin Tuo, to come back and replace him.
Lin Tuo brought coffee and cakes to the office to treat his colleagues in Group Three as a celebration for his girlfriend's shop opening. Wei Haiyang was initially a bit unhappy, but to his surprise, both the coffee and the cake perfectly suited his taste buds. Lin Tuo went to the hospital for a check-up as scheduled, and the doctor said everything was normal, but advised him to undergo further tests if he experienced muscle weakness or numbness in his limbs.
Wei Haiyang brought his colleagues from Technical Group Three to Anting Sparrow's cafe, preparing to hold a technical analysis meeting there. Anting Sparrow and He Xindi were very happy, and Anting Sparrow prepared coffee and snacks according to each person's taste and sent them over. It received unanimous praise from everyone. When they were about to leave, Anting Sparrow firmly refused Wei Haiyang's offer to pay and instead, Wei Haiyang directly topped up a card with five thousand yuan, requesting Anting Sparrow to send afternoon tea to Technical Group Three every day.
On this day, the cafe also welcomed an esteemed guest, Jiang Chucheng, a senior student. Anting Sparrow quickly prepared the ingredients according to his requirements. He Xindi was overjoyed when she saw Jiang Chucheng and had a conversation with him. When Jiang Chucheng learned that this cafe was started by several younger students, he generously gave five thousand yuan to He Xindi for a membership card.
Anting Sparrow handed over the things Jiang Chucheng needed and, together with He Xindi, saw the senior student off for a long distance. Seeing that He Xindi was still unsatisfied, Anting Sparrow playfully teased her because the senior student had already gone far. In the evening, it started raining lightly in Chongqing again. Lin Tuo helped Anting Sparrow tidy up the store before escorting her home with an umbrella. Seeing the two of them walking away side by side, Jiang Chucheng, standing aside, sadly turned and left with the umbrella in his hand.
Lin Tuo knew that Wei Haiyang liked to eat desserts, so he often brought him sweet treats. Qian Hong came over and saw him enjoying the desserts, so he advised him to eat less sweets to prevent diabetes. Wei Haiyang dismissed his advice. Qian Hong reminded him that he should take on the new business from Pengfei Company. Wei Haiyang knew that Pengfei Company had a close relationship with Han Yuxi, so he was unwilling to get involved. Qian Hong told him to broaden his perspective and that Han Yuxi didn't care about it at all.
Wei Haiyang said that his assistants were already very busy and didn't have time to take on new business. Qian Hong reminded him to hire new people, such as Lin Tuo. Wei Haiyang was momentarily stunned. Wei Haiyang asked Lin Tuo to directly coordinate with Pengfei Company. Lin Tuo was surprised, and Wei Haiyang questioned whether he lacked confidence or needed an assistant. Lin Tuo quickly expressed his confidence in taking on the project.
After careful preparation, Lin Tuo took his design proposal to the seminar for discussion. He named his design "Let's Have a Meal Together." The design style was simple and fashionable, consisting of a table and chairs, targeting young couples and newlyweds. The design was highly recognized by Pengfei Company, and they approved it for mass production.
Jiang Chucheng told him that the approval of the proposal was the work of Han Yuxi because the CEO of Pengfei Company was Han's ex-husband. Lin Tuo was very excited to hear this and took the opportunity to express his gratitude to Han Yuxi when he saw her again.
