In the bustling streets of New York City, a seemingly average Chinese immigrant owns a small family business that has become a community mainstay. He is known for his outgoing and warm manner, and locals regard him as the welcoming neighborhood business owner. The store owner was in his store, speaking to someone on the phone in Mandarin with a strong tone. He then groaned, nodded, and ended the call. He then spots some familiar folks near the fridge, getting several drinks.

"Hey! You white boy be careful with bottle! I throw shoe lah!"

Despite his harsh tone, he appeared to smirk noticeably. The two customers chuckled since they were used to his repeated harsh statements and understood he was only joking. The store owner then yawned, his expression getting dark somewhat as he turned away.
