Baguettes and Macarons

=========================

Louis took out a dirty table from the store, wiped it as clean as possible, sat by the shelf and checked the prices of second-hand tables and chairs with his mobile phone.The plastic chairs his dad left behind were fashionable in those days, but they were too flimsy and too dirty to wipe clean.

The scene that Dominic said is also a bit interesting to think about.Louie doesn't mind having more people in the shop admiring his craftsmanship.

While checking the information, he peeped at the owner of the Star House from the window.Yu Chen has sent two guests away, and is discussing the design draft with the third.

Recently, Yu Chen didn't mention doing image design for him, probably because of the passenger flow that made him have no time to be distracted.Louie decided it was better to let him forget about it, lest he be forced to spend four hours a day taking care of his appearance like him.Then there would be no time to bake bread.

He also didn't want to increase the workload of Yu Chen who was already very tired.

Just as Dominique said, just tidy up the store.

While thinking, he opened a new web page, and before he had time to see what the stool looked like, he heard a restless voice from the Star House.Louis poked his head out and saw Yu Chen lying on the coffee table surrounded by a group of people.

He hurried into the shop, pushed the apprentices aside, helped Yu Chen sit on the sofa, and asked, "Is there a doctor? Go and call the doctor from that broken clinic!"

Yu Chen frowned amidst his yelling, and muttered: "It's okay, I'm just too sleepy..."

Louis: "..."

The apprentice said obediently: "Sir, take Mr. Yu upstairs to rest. Let us serve the guests first."

Louis was not polite to them, he picked up Yu Chen and went upstairs, locked the door of the stairwell, stripped him clean and stuffed him into the quilt.

Unfortunately, Yu Chen was very dishonest, turned over in the quilt, and said vaguely: "'shui'..."

Louis didn't understand his foreign language and asked, "What?"

"water……"

He put on lipstick and it didn't look dry at all, so Louis realized now that the boss couldn't bear to deal with it, he must be very old and didn't drink water.

He resigned himself to going downstairs to get water from the water dispenser behind the studio, and took a can of sugar cubes to replenish his sugar.There is only one door away from the studio. He had just finished receiving the water when he heard someone walk into the studio, complaining, "Isn't this branch too busy?"

It was the voice of the sorrel-haired apprentice.

Soon another person came in: "I just asked you to find a replacement powder puff, did you find it?"

"How can it be so fast? Mr. Yu has too many things, and Mr. Baishi didn't help to classify them. You don't know how difficult it is to find things?"

"Is there anything in that box?"

"Here is a disposable cotton swab." The apprentice clicked his tongue, "I really don't understand, Mr. Yu is fine, what are you doing in this poor place? The customer has no money, and after such a busy day, the turnover is less than him Half of what I earn for three hours of work in the shop."

"The income of customers in this store is relatively high, so there is no way."

"As a result, Mr. Yu came to such a remote place and offended all the regular customers. Several rich people didn't want to go to the suburbs so much, so they replaced Mr. Shiraishi as their designated designer. If it weren't for Mr. Yu's high professional level , I want to run away, I really don’t want to lose my face to these poor people who can’t afford it.”

"Stop talking, Mr. Yu will be angry."

"He couldn't hear him, and he was so tired that he fell asleep at work. This is the first time I've seen him." The apprentice continued to complain, "You said that we used to receive all kinds of guests. One hundred euros, right? Now the fee is only thirty euros, and the profit is only a few euros after deducting the depletion of cosmetics. Not to mention Mr. Yu, this is not even enough to buy one of the cufflinks I use."

"In this way, I think Mr. Yu may not be able to support himself soon."

"Isn't it? There are still these customers who are poor, vulgar, bankrupt investors, abandoned wives and lunatics, ah, I can't stay any longer, and I will go back to the headquarters tomorrow."

"But don't you think Mr. Shiraishi's design can't inspire you?"

"If you have inspiration, someone has to buy it! Look at Mr. Yu's design concept, can these people understand it? I think Mr. Yu is wasting his inspiration and life by working here. I don't want to spoil myself with him."

"Then let's both go back to the headquarters. Mr. Yu will not be able to handle it by himself. If he runs a deficit for a while, he will probably not insist on running this branch."

"I think he will exhaust himself to sudden death first! To let him go home, probably a UFO flies down from the sky and blows up this shop and the dirty bakery next door, leaving him without a shop open."

"Haha, the bakery next door should be blown up, it's so dilapidated, it affects the beauty of Star House."

"That's right, the baker still dares to associate with Mr. Yu, doesn't he feel ashamed?"

"Ah, I found it, powder puff. Let's finish this makeup soon, go back to the city and have a good dinner, and talk to Mr. Yu tomorrow to transfer back to our shop."

"Even if the wages are deducted, it's worth it. I really can't stay in this poor place. I really don't understand that Mr. Yu is so particular about how he can live in this kind of slum."

The two apprentices walked out of the studio as they talked one after another.Only then did Louis move his steps, went upstairs with the kettle, and woke Yu Chen to drink water.

The latter was still not very sober, so he drank water with his hand and lay back to sleep, not noticing his strange expression.

Louis didn't stay at his house tonight, and the next day's breakfast changed from a sandwich to a simple baguette with milk.

Yu Chen didn't notice this, he hurriedly finished his milk and went to his own shop.Louis called out to him: "You just fainted from exhaustion yesterday, do you want to humiliate yourself today?"

"It's okay, I just fell asleep."

Louis said expressionlessly: "Okay, whatever, your store is ready to close."

"Haha I don't know." Yu Chen took him as a joke, "Now is the rising stage of my career. After I stabilize the customer flow, I will call ten or eight designers to come and work together. It will be much easier."

"Your two apprentices won't come today." Louis looked up and saw, "Even Shiraishi Yu, who has a crush on you, is unwilling to come here to work. Who do you think will come?"

Yu Chen didn't reply.Louis took out a contract: "Besides, your rental contract expires at the end of the month, and I won't renew the lease to you. You should pack up and go."

"Today is April Fool's Day?"

"Go back, go back to the bustling city that belongs to you. You don't need to accompany me here, and waste your talent here." Louis didn't dare to look at him anymore, and lowered his head and picked up the baguette.
