My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 20

After realizing their shortcut was blocked, everyone had no choice but to shift their focus back to the original plan.

Jiang Lun asked, “So, are we still opening a coffee shop?”

Zhuo Zitao also asked everyone, “Is a coffee shop okay?”

Despite the small hiccup, everyone adjusted their mindset and continued filming. After thinking it over, everyone nodded in agreement with the coffee shop idea.

They started listing the benefits of a coffee shop.

“The machines do the grinding and brewing, so it saves on labor!”

“We only need to buy coffee beans, not a bunch of random ingredients.”

“And there’s no greasy smell, it’s nice and clean.”

“The menu is simple, and the cash register won’t be a pain to operate.”

“Come to think of it, even cleaning the dishes will be easy since there’s no oil.”

Everyone’s eyes became more and more determined. “The more we talk about it, the more it feels like it’s the only option, doesn’t it?”

And so, everyone decided on the spot. It had to be a coffee shop, nothing else.

Qiu Mingyi casually asked, “Are we selling cakes?”

Zhuo Zitao glared at him. “Why are we opening a coffee shop? And you want to sell cakes?” Isn’t the whole point to keep it simple and convenient?

Qiu Mingyi sadly lowered his head. “…I’m sorry.”

“If I have time, I can make some, but it would have to be a limited quantity,” Lin Mo suddenly said. From the beginning of the discussion to the final decision, Lin Mo had barely spoken or given her opinion.

So when she suddenly spoke up after the decision was made, everyone was a bit surprised.

What’s more, their main goal had been to keep things as simple as possible. Making cakes, however, was not only not simple but also required a certain skill. Lin Mo’s suggestion left no room for discussion.

Everyone’s eyes fell on Lin Mo. Although they all thought her idea wasn’t great, they didn’t immediately refuse it, as she had finally spoken up and they were on camera.

Lin Mo smiled and explained, “Since we’ve decided to open a business, I personally think it’s better to have it be more well-rounded. After listening to you all just now, I realized that our customers will most likely be young women. There will probably be a lot of them who don’t drink coffee or don’t like it. When a customer comes in and can’t find something they like, it’s a bit disappointing. Cakes can not only be paired with coffee to balance out the bitterness but also be ordered by young women who don’t want coffee. What do you all think?”

The guests: “…” What do we think? We dare not think.

[…I’m suddenly so touched.]

[Wuwu, our Ms. Pig is so good.]

“The kitchen has baking equipment, so we don’t need to buy anything else. Of course, this is just my personal suggestion, and I’ll be the one making the pastries,” Lin Mo explained.

The guests: “…” Not only do we not dare to think, but we also don’t have the right to refuse.

[Ms. Pig is so thoughtful.]

[Yes, she doesn’t want to trouble anyone else.]

[I’m in love with Ms. Pig. Don’t say anything else. From now on, I’m a solo fan of Ms. Pig.]

After Lin Mo finished speaking, the guests still looked at her in shock. Lin Mo paused and then said in surprise, “I’m sorry, was that also something I wasn’t supposed to say?”

Qiu Mingyi: “You can say it. You’ve gained so much goodwill from the audience. What you said was excellent.”

Zhuo Zitao sighed, pretending to be sad. “I just realized we’re so selfish.”

Lin Mo: “…Seniors, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that I happen to know how to bake…”

Qiu Mingyi laughed and patted Lin Mo’s shoulder, interrupting her. “Don’t worry. Your sister Zhuo and I have been in the industry for years. How could we hold a grudge against you for just a few words?”

Zhuo Zitao also laughed. “That’s right. You’re underestimating us. Besides, you were so thoughtful that we should be praising you. We’re sitting here to work together and consider things others haven’t, right?”

[They’re so harmonious, I’m a little bit not used to it.]

[It’s so unusual for Home Inn not to have any drama.]

[If this were the previous seasons, someone would be calling Ms. Pig a ‘green tea b*tch’ by now!]

[They’d be isolating, fighting, and being sarcastic with each other.]

The people invited this season were all famous, but they were also vetted. Their tempers and characters were well-known and highly regarded.

Jiang Lun scratched his face and said apologetically, “You’re right! You thought of something we didn’t. Since fans might be coming, we shouldn’t just do a half-assed job. So, even though I don’t know how to bake, I can help.”

Everyone suddenly felt that what Lin Mo said made perfect sense and all offered to help.

Lin Mo looked at the scene and couldn’t help but say, “I feel like I’ve morally blackmailed you all.”

The guests: “…” We’re in the middle of a touching moment!

Lin Mo’s suggestion was, of course, adopted. A group of people started discussing enthusiastically how to store and sell the cakes.

Lin Mo looked at Su Qixi, who had been silent by her side, and leaned in to whisper in her ear, “Did I say something bad?” Lin Mo suddenly realized that she had just forced the other guests into baking with her.

Su Qixi giggled. Her eyes were crescent-shaped as she looked at Lin Mo, and her smile was contagious.

Her voice was sweet, and when she laughed, it could melt your heart.

She told Lin Mo, “We’ve been in this industry for a long time. When we’re filming, we sometimes forget and just think about how to get through the recording. But you suddenly made us realize that we can use this show to meet our fans and show our gratitude for their years of support.”

“So, we should be thinking about the customers who will be coming. We should make sure they arrive happy and leave happy.”

“What you said wasn’t wrong. Whether it’s right or wrong depends on how the listener interprets your words. But no matter what others think, it can’t change your kind heart, Lin Mo.”

[Wuwu, I’m so touched. I’m so touched!!!]

[With that said, if I don’t go, I’d be betraying my years as a fan.]

[Aaaahhhh, for my idol, I’ve already booked a plane ticket.]

[Darn it, we can’t let our SuSu not be a big deal.]

[Am I the only hope for our senior Qiu’s village?]

On screen, Lin Mo was staring at Su Qixi, stunned. When she heard Su Qixi’s last words, Lin Mo couldn’t help but reach out and ruffle her hair.

Su Qixi was a celebrity, and she had always paid great attention to her image. Even though this show didn’t have a makeup artist and didn’t allow guests to bring their own, everyone looked flawless. Based on her years of experience, even though they were dressed casually, their casualness couldn’t hide their sophisticated looks.

Su Qixi’s long hair was, of course, carefully styled.

Even the fans had never seen film empress Su look so disheveled in real life, aside from the show.

Her neatly combed hair was messed up by Lin Mo. It was a chaotic mess. Luckily, she was still beautiful, so her messy hair was a different kind of beauty.

But Su Qixi was still a bit dazed. She immediately snapped, “Lin, Mo!”

“I’m not that selfless,” Lin Mo said with a smile. The endless tenderness in her eyes made Su Qixi stop in her tracks.

Lin Mo said, “I have my own selfish reasons. I’m very grateful that there are still people who have been supporting you even though I’ve been away for so many years. I hope I can do something within my power to thank them. To thank them for always being there for you when you were at your lowest.”

This was something she should have done but couldn’t.

Su Qixi stood there in a daze, listening to her words. It took her a while to process them. Her face was slightly flushed, and with her messy hair, she finally stammered, “D-don’t meddle in my business.”

Her voice was weak, and her eyes were a bit scattered.

Lin Mo looked at her and couldn’t help but smile again. “You’re lying to me again, classmate.”

Su Qixi turned her head away, using her messy long hair to hide her flushed face.

The guests: “…” Ugh, so it turns out we’re just extras?

The fans of the other guests: […Give me back my feelings, thank you.]
