Downstairs 249, Upstairs 251

28. Appreciate

The man lifted his head then spoke with a hoarse and broken voice, "Coffee."

The waitress was surprised by his face, then asked him shyly, "Yes, which type of coffee?"

"Anything will do."

The waitress was stunned, went back, then carefully served him a cup of coffee.

The man looked at the dessert counter blankly. A few ladies in the shop were glancing at him secretly. Lisa went up to him.

"Sir, do you want to exchange a story?"

The man did not exchange a story. He only looked at the dessert counter, then said, "She will surely like it."

This man was clad in a full formal suit. He had sharp facial features and his whole body was humble yet extravagant. Lisa took a good look at him, yup, a rich man.

The man looked at her, then asked all of a sudden, "What do girls value the most in men?"

Lisa thought about it, and hadn't yet said anything when he continued talking.

The man lowered his head, "She must not like cowards..."

Lisa didn't answer him. She was about to get up and find other things to get busy with.

"Give me a piece of paper..."

She turned around in surprise, then passed him a paper.

That man began writing, fully focused. Every stroke of the pen was like his life's ritual.

After some time, he walked out slowly. He was supposed to be an elite filled with confidence, yet his whole body was reeking of disappointment.

He didn't want a cake and went out after leaving behind a banknote. Lisa looked at his behind and felt that there was something not right about him.

Lisa put his story up. She hadn't got to read it yet when another customer that wanted to write a story came in. She quickly went out and forgot about this paper that the man wrote.

The second day, a few articles that had being bumped up were entitled #President of Ye Group, Ye Jiu Zhao passed away#

Lisa clicked on it curiously. Wasn't Ye Jiu Zhao already quite old?

This is... that man from yesterday?

Not a lot of people recognized the name Ye Jiu Zhao, but his nickname Jiu Ye was well known. This man was born a genius and he was a cold person. He took over the big enterprise in the country, Ye Group, and doubled its scale of operation in just a few years time. Ye Group became the second biggest in the country.

Some people said that in another few more years, the Ye family would definitely become even more frighteningly prosperous. Everyone on the internet was mournful. Many people were talking about how their male god passed away. When he was still alive, no one dared to share his photo on the internet, but now that he was gone, no one was afraid anymore.

Lisa hadn't left her house yet when the guy upstairs came in with a foul mood.

"What's wrong with you?"

Jungkook looked at her. He suddenly put out his hands and hugged her at once, "Broken book, let's be together!"

"Hey hey hey, are you crazy?" Lisa pushed him away in shock.

"Lisa, I like you, let's be together!"

......

Locking Jungkook outside the door, Lisa was quite stunned. He liked her?

This didn't seem right?

Jungkook leaned by the door. Tears flashed in his eyes.

Ye Jiu Zhao died. Ye Jiu Zhao who made him and his group of friends grit their teeth angrily died.
