   Summary

   Maomao, a modern day pharmaceutical major in college, applies for an interview at Rear Palace Coffee Shop. She gets to the interview to find that her interviewer and representative of HR is the same beautiful man she’d hooked up with the night before. Having been rude to him in the morning, she doesn’t expect to get the email saying that she got the job the next morning. Why did Jinshi hire her? Why does he seem to be looking for her every time he comes into the shop?
