Chapter 1450 - 269, Bizarre (11)
Not only was the appearance deceptive, but the interior was as well. Although the tea house was a place of elegance, simply adding more green plants didn’t necessarily reflect its sophistication. The abundance of greenery, in fact, raised Lin Yuan’s suspicions. Indeed, as she strolled through the tea house, she discovered numerous scratches on the floor that hadn’t yet been cleaned up, likely left by workers too tired to care while arranging the plants. Therefore, these green plants must have been recently purchased by Ling Fengfeng in an attempt to superficially exhibit the tea house’s elegance, because she thought Tian Hui was easy to deceive, and she had placed them haphazardly without proper planning.
Another flaw was the staff. Ling Fengfeng had claimed they were closed for a day, but Lin Yuan noticed dust in the corners that couldn’t have been from just a day or two of closure—it had been at least half a month.
Tian Hui listened in bewilderment—now everything Lin Yuan pointed out seemed exceedingly rational, yet when she had looked at the tea house herself earlier, why hadn’t she felt deceived?
"Ah, Yuanyuan, I think I’m not fit to run a shop. I’m so clumsy, I’d surely mess up the tea house completely. Maybe you should find Miss Yan to partner with instead; she’s smarter, more knowledgeable, and no one dares to deceive her."
Tian Hui felt somewhat disheartened, but Lin Yuan thought that mistakes were a part of learning. If it weren’t for today’s incident, Tian Hui wouldn’t have realized how easily she could be deceived. Now that she was aware, she just needed to be more cautious in the future.
After comforting Tian Hui thoroughly, her emotions gradually improved. When Lin Yuan spoke of making the tea house thrive, Tian Hui’s fighting spirit was immediately ignited.
"Right, they look down on me, don’t they? They think I’m easy to fool, don’t they? Well, I’m going to make the tea house incredibly successful, make them respect me, and show them that Tian Hui is not to be underestimated!"
