June 28th.
Saturday.
At 8 AM, Sui Tao walked up to the experiential store with a youtiao clenched in his mouth and a soy milk in his hand, fished out the keys from his pocket, and began to unlock the store's large entrance door.
But just as he inserted the key into the keyhole, before he could even turn it, a noise erupted from behind him.
"Morning, Brother Sui."
Turning his head, Sui Tao saw that it was Hou Ji and Zhuge Jun, along with a group of regulars.
"You guys are way too early, even more punctual than me clocking in for work!" Sui Tao could not help but muse, as he pushed open the store's large entrance door and entered.
"Of course, we all love to 'pay' for work!" Zhuge Jun declared, then promptly headed straight for the store's coffee machine, and began expertly brewing coffee for everyone.
