Quitting the company and opening a cafe Episode 279

The two people who came inside glanced at us and then found seats.

Since they came in, I didn’t kick them out, but just left them there.

“Okay, I got it. See you later.”

Just then, Lee Sun-ah also finished talking on the phone with Han Song-i.

I was a bit nervous about the new customers, but I let them order for themselves and looked at Lee Seon-ah.

“Why? What’s going on?”

“It used to be like that, but it’s okay now.”

“Really? I think you went to the intensive care unit or something.”

“That’s right. But it’s okay.”

Lee Seon-ah said with a look of worry.

Well, that’s good. I was wondering what was going on because we were talking about something serious again.

Listening to Lee Sun-ah, it seemed like it was there, but it was okay now. She said that was why she couldn’t answer the phone…

“I guess I won’t be able to see you for a while.”

“well.”

“Huh? Why not? Maybe he can’t come at all?”

Lee Sun-ah made a meaningful expression. Does that mean she’s coming or not?

Oh right, by the way.

“Did you ask that? People came looking for you.”

“Yeah. I asked.”

“what?”

“It’ll be resolved soon, so it’s okay.”

“okay?”

Everything is fine.

Well, if he said he was okay, then it’s okay. Since I contacted him, I decided to contact him again if something comes up.

By the way.

‘Those people don’t order.’

They were talking amongst themselves very earnestly.

If I were a normal customer, I would wait without worrying about the order… … but this time, I can’t stop worrying.

It was because of the dark aura that was visible even after entering the cafe. It was a very uneasy aura.

I just don’t know what it is.

There was no form like a spider of greed or a snake of karma. It just had a dull aura, and an uneasy aura lingered around.

Is this a pre-stage of becoming something like a spider of greed, or is this just the real aura?

I have a feeling it’ll be the former… … .

“Why? Do you know?”

“No. I just didn’t order anything.”

As I was looking at the guests, Lee Seon-ah asked.

I naturally turned my gaze away while making some excuses.

“I guess you don’t have anything to do today?”

“Everyday materials are running out.”

“… … Were you looking for content?”

“Yeah. Su-ah is going to school and her sister isn’t here.”

“hmm.”

Lee Sun-ah was staying at the cafe longer than usual. That’s why I asked, and I nodded in agreement to what she said.

Sure, there hasn’t been anything worth filming lately. But I don’t think that’s the only reason.

“You ran away?”

Wince!

“I bet the harvesting of fruits for the Chuseok ancestral rites table is in full swing right now?”

If it’s the village headman’s field that has a large orchard, there will be a lot of work in this area.

Apples, pears, and other produce must be harvested and packaged without a moment to spare.

Of course, the village chief’s system is so well-established that machines do most of the work, but that doesn’t mean that human intervention is not needed.

In other words, this is not the time for Lee Sun-ah to be playing around like this. You could tell just by looking at her reaction.

“Kang Do-yoon, you must have known this would happen and ran away first.”

“What are you talking about?”

Why is Kang Do-yoon here? He went to do his main job.

I couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of Lee Seon-ah making excuses in strange places.

I miss Kang Do-yoon. For various reasons.

“Go quickly. I have to help the village chief. I’ll go help him when I have time.”

“Then I’ll go to the cafe instead.”

“That won’t work.”

Where are you going to eat raw?

“Contents are everything. Now this cafe is mine. How is it?”

“Yeah. Not really.”

“Brother, what do you know?”

I don’t know much about that.

I giggled at Lee Sun-ah’s tantrum.

Certainly, Lee Sun-ah felt like a younger sister to me, so it was fun to tease her.

Even though we played together, it felt different from Su-ah.

Because Su-ah feels just like my niece.

If you tease her with some moderation, Lee Sun-ah would need it less.

“If it’s hard, go to Seoul.”

“The daily channel is better.”

Lee Seon-ah said, trembling.

Now, the tables have turned. These days, there are more people who think that the daily channel is the original channel.

In addition, it is said that the number of people seeking it out from overseas has increased recently.

A global channel… … .

“I hope it goes well.”

“right.”

He nods as if he acknowledges it.

No wonder I don’t feel like making fun of you.

While talking to Lee Seon-ah like that, I glanced at the guests.

“So, I’m saying that the current trend is to push everything up to that point and create a private campsite, and then have a glamping site below?”

“But wouldn’t a pension be better?”

“It’s much easier to manage if you run several campsites, boss. What is that? Don’t you know that when you run a pool villa pension? Management is no joke.”

“Well, that’s true.”

“But that, it’s connected to the village chief’s mountain above ground, so that’s a bit difficult… … .”

“Oh, don’t worry about that. I know the county governor here.”

“Oh my! I know. I know.”

The sound of a conversation heard from afar.

It wasn’t just me who was focused, but Lee Sun-ah was also focused.

Because those people, they seemed to be the same people that Lee Seon-ah was talking about earlier.

He said he went to Hansong’s house.

‘I think it’s true since you’re talking about campsites and glamping sites?’

But what are you going to do with the village chief’s land with the county magistrate? The county magistrate can’t touch private land, right?

And the position of village headman is not just held by an adult in the village. It is an administrative position, but it is also a position that is passed down by the local leaders.

Do you do business in that town and keep in touch with those people?

It’s never a good look. I know because I’ve seen architects and clients who worked like that and ended up losing money.

Of course, our Cheonho-ri village chief was different from those strong village chiefs. But he was still not a person who liked the village to be noisy.

From the beginning, this village had a strong desire to maintain its appearance like a calm lake.

And since they were all already elderly, they wanted peace rather than big changes.

For those who want to live without too much greed. That was the composition of this village.

But are you going to throw a tantrum there?

He’s not the kind of person to sit still.

“But the land here looks pretty good too.”

“Yes. This is my first time here, but the scenery is nice and the location is nice. The space seems a little cramped though… … .”

“I think a pension would be good here? It would be perfect if you made it into a pool villa.”

“Hmm. Well, one or two would be manageable and premium… … .”

Oh my! As I was listening, the story about the tiger shelter came up.

“Who owns this place? Is it perhaps the young manager?”

“As far as I know, it was originally owned by a villager. Should I look into it?”

“Would you do that? The more I look at it, the more I want it.”

“But are you sure you will receive the land over there?”

A middle-aged woman who appeared to be a real estate agent asked a middle-aged man cautiously. Then the middle-aged man suddenly got angry.

“Oh, I’m sure. That gentleman, it’s today or tomorrow. Don’t you believe me now?”

“Oh my. I believe it. That’s why I’m saying this. Haha.”

When the middle-aged man got angry, the middle-aged woman took a step back. Then, as if she had found a suitable way to change the subject, she picked up the menu.

“Boss, would you like something to drink?”

“Ahem. Just order me something cold.”

“Would you like that? Just wait a moment. I’ll go order and come back.”

A middle-aged woman approached the counter, seemingly having decided on a menu.

Lee Sun-ah and I pretended not to care and did something else at the same time.

“Excuse me, can I order something?”

“Yes? Oh, yes. Go ahead.”

“Two iced Americanos, please.”

“yes.”

The lady who came to the counter and placed a short order did not go to her seat right away but stood there.

What? Is there anything else you want to say?

“Are you the boss here?”

I tilted my head at the woman’s question.

I was curious about what their intentions were, and then suddenly I remembered the conversation those two had earlier.

A conversation about whether it would be a good idea to try a pool villa pension here. And a conversation about finding out about the landowner.

That reminds me of something and I’m wondering what to say…

“Why is that, ma’am?”

“Huh? Me? You just talked to me?”

“huh.”

“Oh, right. Well. Okay. But what about you?”

Lee Seon-ah struck first.

That’s pretty aggressive, too.

Although he was originally a bit of a standout, I was a little surprised that he was so rude when we first met. Of course, the woman I was talking to was surprised too.

I almost got angry at the words of the still young Lee Seon-ah, but I held back and asked again.

“Are you Alpha?”

“What, what?”

But Lee Sun-ah went further than that.

Why is he like this? I’m trying to stop him slowly because I think he’s crossing the line.

“Ahem! You haven’t ordered yet?”

A middle-aged man sitting down spoke first.

Then, the woman glared at Lee Seon-ah once, then returned to her seat with a smile on her face.

The change in facial expression is just like Kang Do-yoon’s method acting? But Lee Sun-ah, why did she do that?

“What’s wrong with you?”

“what.”

“Why are you picking a fight for no reason? Is it because of what those people said earlier?”

“No?”

“Huh? No?”

I thought it was because of that, but it wasn’t? Then what?

“You speak informally.”

“uh?”

“order.”

“… … Ah. That?”

What else did I say?

I was annoyed when I first heard it too. But I just ignored it because the other person was older than me.

Since things like this happen all the time while working, I couldn’t help but get angry about each and every one.

It’s the same here and at the company.

But I think Lee Sun-ah felt bad about that. Still, there was no reason to react like that… … Well, holding back isn’t always the right answer.

“good job.”

I know it’s a bit odd to give such compliments, but you did it because you were thinking of me.

He gave me a quick thumbs up.

Only then did Lee Sun-ah feel a little better.

“But those two. They seem right.”

“Who came to the writer’s house this morning?”

“huh.”

“I guess so.”

It seems that he was not completely kicked out of the village by the village chief, but was still around.

But those people seem to be targeting the tiger shelter too.

“Should I call the village chief instead?”

“Just wait and see.”

“huh?”

First, Lee Seon-ah, who seemed like she was going to call the village chief, suddenly sat me down and did something diligently.

It looks like he’s sending a text message, but his expression looks quite evil.

What are you planning?

“Okay.”

“Huh? What’s going on?… … I don’t know. I’ll make some drinks, so don’t cause any more trouble.”

“It’s okay.”

First, I was about to go into the kitchen to make the order, but Lee Seon-ah shook her head.

Are you telling me not to make it? But even so, that’s a bit much.

I got over it earlier, but it was still a bit noisy inside the cafe.

It would be better to make them two drinks and let them drink them and then leave quietly.

“Coming soon.”

“what?”

“excuse me.”

Woof woof!

As soon as Lee Seon-ah pointed outside with her finger, Baek-gu suddenly got up.

Who else is coming? The village chief?

‘uh?’

The village chief was there, but there were other people too.

There are more than one or two of them?

I also saw a swan wagging its tail vigorously to greet me. And then I also saw some middle-aged people with an old man.

“Huh? Huh?!”

Kkudangtang!

Were the two guests inside startled by the commotion caused by the swan? There was a commotion in the seats as well.

But upon closer inspection, it wasn’t a swan, but a surprised expression on its face as it looked outside.

Are you surprised to see the village chief?

“Oh, how about father?”

No. This… … things seemed to be going interestingly.

The one who suddenly appeared was Han Song-i, and the group of grandfathers who looked like that family were also like that.

“Lee Seon-ah, what on earth have you done?”

“I don’t do anything. My sister does.”

Hansong did it?
