Chapter 142 Jealousy
Chen Yuan looked around and glanced at the price list in the store a few more times.
I found that the prices of these milk teas were similar to those at Lin Wei's herbal milk tea shop, ranging from 10 to 20 yuan.
Chen Yuan had never run a milk tea shop before and didn't know much about the cost issues, so he asked.
"Your price seems quite ordinary, and you're offering discounts and giving me a price reduction. How can you even make a profit?"
"Yes, if you're not opening a shop to make money, are you going to lose money?"
Lu Xingye blinked, looking at the other person with an expression that said, "Are you an idiot?"
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to talk, Chen Yuan didn't ask any further.
After finishing the last sip of milk tea and savoring it, he nodded gently.
"Actually, I think that in addition to removing ice from room temperature drinks, you could also try promoting hot drinks to cater to customers who feel uncomfortable if they don't drink hot water in the morning."
"In my experience, most people who are willing to go out for a hot breakfast are also willing to drink some hot water."
Lu Xingye scribbled it down in the notepad, turned around and smiled at him, her ponytail swaying in the breeze.
"Thank you, I'll remember that."
"So, this collaboration is considered complete?"
Chen Yuan nodded slightly.
At this time.
Lu Xingye happily took out a stack of cards from the small drawer and handed them over.
"Here, take this. Give him this card when he makes a purchase from you tomorrow morning. He can get a 3 yuan discount on any drink with the card."
"I'll settle our accounts after business closes each day. I'll keep a clear record, okay?"
Chen Yuan took the card, his fingertips brushing against the other person's delicate fingers.
"Okay, then remember to open the shop early tomorrow."
"No problem, I guarantee it will be in sync with you."
After he finished speaking, Lu Xingye smiled, his eyes crinkling.
"Since you're free right now, I'll make all the signature dishes from our shop for you to try, how about that?"
"Sure, just make a little bit of everything, otherwise I'll probably be stuffed to death."
"No problem, please wait a moment~"
that's it.
Lu Xingye cooked while Chen Yuan drank.
He filled himself up with water.
However, Lu Xingye's cooking skills are really good, and every drink tastes great.
This made Chen Yuan feel that his choice was right.
Early the next morning.
Lu Xingye kept his word.
Chen Yuan had just turned on his lights for less than 20 minutes when Hoshino Tea House opened its doors.
As agreed, Chen Yuan gave a coupon to every customer who made a purchase in the store.
At first, Chen Yuan had the leisure to pay attention to how many people entered the other side, but when things got busy later, he couldn't care less about it at all.
Just as it was about to end, the system in my brain suddenly started beeping.
[Mission accomplished: 100 cups]
[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: Meat Fry (God-level)]
[Production line updated simultaneously, refreshed at midnight today.]
Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Yuan looked up and glanced at the other side.
Although there was no queue, it was clear that there were quite a few people in the store, so so far the results have been pretty good.
The cards were all distributed very quickly.
After Chen Yuan finished his business.
Lu Xingye seemed to ride on wheels of fire, rushing out of his shop in an instant.
She held up her phone, the screen displaying constantly changing amounts of money.
Her chestnut-brown high ponytail bounced up and down with her steps.
"Boss Chen! Thank you so much!"
Lu Xingye's voice was not as clear as yesterday, probably because he had talked too much and it had become hoarse.
"So easy!"
"I've been handing out cards since this morning, and in less than four hours I've almost run out of my stock."
"And it even made two of my new products incredibly popular!"
"You're amazing, Boss Chen! I'm working for you from now on!"
Seeing how excited she was, Chen Yuan was also pleased and nodded gently.
"Good business is a good thing, but don't overwork yourself. Can you keep up with the demand for raw materials?"
"We have to keep up!"
Lu Xingye patted his chest, his eyes crinkling with laughter, and the slender, snow-white waist beneath his clothes was faintly visible with each movement.
"Thank you so much! I reckon after today, besides your family having recommendation posts, ours will probably have one too, right?"
"Yes."
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Chen, I wanted to tell you that I've decided to cover all the milk tea for everyone in your shop from now on!"
Lu Xingye waved his hand.
"The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Starting tomorrow, I will deliver iced milk tea every day at 10 a.m. I will deliver as many cups as there are people in your shop."
"Don't worry, I'll cover all the expenses. Consider it a way to cool you down."
Looking at the other person's serious yet slightly cunning expression, Chen Yuan had a thought and nodded.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you. However, Aunt Li in our shop is getting old and probably can't drink anything too cold. It's also best if Hao Hao doesn't drink anything cold either. Please take care of these two. The rest is up to you."
Without even guessing, Chen Yuan knew why the other party would be so kind as to send milk tea over.
Thanks and promotion should each account for about half.
Lu Xingye also laughed and said, "Okay, absolutely no problem. But Boss Chen, you're really thoughtful."
Lu Xingye wanted to say a few more words, but out of the corner of her eye she caught someone entering her milk tea shop.
She quickly gave an OK sign, then reached out and patted Chen Yuan's broad shoulder in a friendly and familiar manner before turning around and going back to the store.
A faint citrus scent lingered in the air.
Chen Yuan turned his head.
But he saw Su Qingxue, wearing a mask, looking at him quietly with a slight frown right in front of him.
……
Chen Yuan: Wait, why do I feel guilty like I've been caught cheating?
Chen Yuan had been married before and was quite experienced in coaxing women; he could tell at a glance that the other person was unhappy.
So he quickly walked forward.
"Qingxue, what brings you here? Don't you have class today?"
Su Qingxue pouted and said with a forced smile.
"Senior brother, you seem quite happy."
"..."
I'm not happy!
They're definitely unhappy!
Chen Yuan quickly explained the whole story.
Su Qingxue listened patiently, and by the end, her initially unhappy expression had softened somewhat.
Although it sounds like a normal business collaboration, I'm unhappy, and that's that.
Chen Yuan said, "This girl is about your age and has a lively personality. You didn't mean anything by patting my shoulder just now. If you don't like it, I'll try to avoid it next time."
"That's not the reason."
Su Qingxue puffed out her cheeks in anger, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke up.
"I just feel it's a bit unfair."
"Unfair? Why?"
"I told you before that your shop must be very busy, and I wanted to come and help you, but you said there were too many people and it was inconvenient for me to come, so you turned me away."
"We haven't eaten together in a long time, but she sees you every day, so I'm a little angry."
