"Welcome." Chen Jiaw.a.n.g stood up with his professional smile and greeted the two middle-aged men who entered the tea shop.
"Oh? Nicely decorated. How about here?" One of the men, with very short hair and holding a large golden chain, said as he looked around.
Suddenly, the man laid his eyes on the golden flower that Chen Jiaw.a.n.g had trans.m.u.ted and he was instantly captivated. Chen Jiaw.a.n.g, having never received instructions to throw it away, decided to put it on display on the front desk.
"Do you have a private room?" One of the men asked.
"I'm sorry, but the main hall is all we have…" Chen Jiaw.a.n.g answered as he scrutinized the newcomers. One of them held an item which was wrapped in a piece of black cloth. It had the size of a laptop, but based on the visible effort that the man was making, it seemed much heavier than one.
"Really?"
"It's okay. We don't have time to find another place," The man with the golden chain said.
"Listen, we have a business meeting that requires privacy with no interruptions. Could we reserve the entire shop? Of course, if there are other customers, we'll pay for your losses." The man then turned toward Chen Jiaw.a.n.g and pleaded as he took out a pile of banknotes.
"Of course. Please, have a seat." Chen Jiaw.a.n.g made the call to accept the proposition as soon as he saw a pile of banknotes.
"What would you like to drink?" Chen Jiaw.a.n.g asked as he presented the menu.
"Give me the best tea you have. Also, give us the best tea set. We'll make sure to pay you for it." The man who held the golden chain once again turned his attention toward the golden potted plant, while the other man looked around nervously with his item on his knees.
"Please wait a moment…" Chen Jiaw.a.n.g said.
During his many hours spent working in the service industry, Chen Jiaw.a.n.g had acquired the basic skills of observing his customers in order to find the best way to please them. He concluded that the man holding the golden chain was obviously someone who liked to show off, making him the perfect target to persuade into splurging money.
'Tea… The best green tea we have… and the tea set… That guy seems to like gold… So I'll give him gold. This will be the perfect customer experience…' Chen Jiaw.a.n.g decided to create a tea set made of pure gold. Everything from the kettle to the cup to the small plates, was trans.m.u.ted into pure gold.
