Vikram is looking around his café with a worried .

Expression lin is eating a sandwich at the counter.

Lin , I think the café looks old . I want to make it more up-to-date. Yeah it does look kind of old . Like ,  1990S old .

I called   a  desiner , but  I can't afford it let's not in the  budget .

 Vikram am , you don't need a designer. Icon do it for  free .

You can redesign a café ? 

I redesigned my grandma's living room once. She loved it.

Okay . I trust you.

The next day , lin starts working .

She moves all the tables to one side and hangs old motorcycle farts on the walls. 

Lin , are those motorcycle parts ? 

Yes lts called  industrial style .

Very up-to-date.

I'm not sure my customers want to look at motorcycle. Parts 

Trust. Me , Vikram 

Lin  finishes the redesign. Vikram looks around the café in  silence.

It's very different.

You hate it . 

No , no ! It's just not what I expected.

That afternoon , customers start taking photos of the café and posting them online soon , many new people come in 

Lin !  People love it !  We're so busy today ! See
