Chapter 428: Trial Opening

~8 min read 1,442 words

Wu Yue'er was truly torn between laughter and tears at the good girl wanting to work as a cashier.

Isn't it better for a young lady to just enjoy life? Why must she insist on experiencing the hardships of the common people?

Logically, Wu Yue'er should have agreed to such a trivial request immediately, but the conditions simply didn't allow it.

"Shanni, you need a health certificate to work in the catering industry. If you really want to help, you can take some flyers and hand them out outside in a bit."

"Oh!" Chen Shanni replied in a muffled voice.

How was she to know that you needed a health certificate just to be a cashier? She purely wanted to experience what it was like, but unfortunately, even this small wish couldn't be fulfilled.

Just then, Shen Yan happened to walk in from outside. Seeing the good girl's disappointed little expression, he said in a joking tone, "Yo! Who upset our little rich girl?"

Chen Shanni gave him a massive eye-roll.

Her eyes rippled with charm, infinitely alluring.

Wu Yue'er laughed and said, "The little rich girl's plan to experience the hardships of the common people has fallen through, so how could she be happy?"

Shen Yan couldn't help but find it funny, and teased, "It's a good thing you're quick-witted, with your lovely smile and beautiful eyes. If the little rich girl were the cashier, customers would be too busy staring at the beauty to even think about drinking milk tea."

This time it was Wu Yue'er's turn to roll her eyes.

What a dog of a man!

His mouth is like it's been smeared with honey; whenever he gets the slightest chance, he praises people to death.

Which young girl could withstand such an offensive?

Fortunately, Shen Yan is flirtatious but not promiscuous, otherwise, a single villa wouldn't be enough to house all his beauties.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shanni's face became as bright as a peach blossom, and the smile at the corners of her mouth could not be suppressed no matter what.

No girl dislikes being called beautiful, especially when the praise is so ingenious.

Wu Yue'er said sourly, "According to you, does that mean I don't need to be the boss anymore?"

The implication was: I'm not any less attractive than Chen Shanni, so if she can't be the cashier, can I be the boss?

"You?" Shen Yan looked her up and down and curled his lip. "You do have a certain charm, but you can't touch a tiger's whiskers. If you were to glare, even a turtle would be too scared to stick its neck out."

Honk honk honk!

Chen Shanni couldn't help but laugh out loud, her delicate body trembling. The employees in the shop also couldn't help but laugh, though they held it in with great difficulty out of respect for their boss.

"Go to hell!"

Wu Yue'er kicked him in annoyance; he was indirectly calling her a tigress.

After the horseplay, Shen Yan asked Chen Shanni if she had eaten. Chen Shanni said she hadn't, so the two ran to a grilled fish restaurant on Gourmet Street and happily ate dinner.

After eating, they had some octopus balls and dessert.

Chen Shanni was suffering yet happy there, as eating so much makes it very easy to gain weight.

Shen Yan blurted out, "Just exercise more later, and that'll be that."

"You're annoying!" Chen Shanni shyly punched him, the scene from last night flashing through her mind.

???

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled speechlessly once he understood.

No, I really didn't mean it like that.

One can only say that the good girl, who was once like a blank sheet of paper, is becoming more and more "dirty-minded."

Returning to the entrance of the milk tea shop, Shen Yan told Chen Shanni to get in the car, then, under her puzzled gaze, took two boxes out of the armrest compartment.

"For you, see if you like them."

Chen Shanni was pleasantly surprised and opened the boxes to take a look.

Inside were a pair of silver hoop earrings and a Clover Necklace.

The styles were exquisite and eye-catching.

They were perfectly in line with Chen Shanni's aesthetic. Chen Shanni said happily, "Thank you! I love them, but why are you suddenly giving me gifts?"

Shen Yan smiled warmly, "I noticed you never wear jewelry, and I thought these would suit you, so I just bought them."

Chen Shanni felt sweet inside and turned her back to let Shen Yan help her put it on. Shen Yan took out the necklace, gently brushed aside her pink-brown hair, and placed the necklace around her fair neck.

The previously bare neck now had this exquisite Clover Necklace, as if a brilliant star were adorning it.

It made her neck look even more slender and charming.

Chen Shanni gently touched the necklace, feeling its texture and warmth, her face overflowing with a happy smile.

Then she took out the earrings and put them on herself.

In this way, the earrings and necklace complemented each other, making Chen Shanni radiate an indescribable brilliance, as if she had been sublimated.

She took a mirror out of her shoulder bag, liking it more the more she looked, and asked Shen Yan, "Does it look good?"

Shen Yan gave a thumbs up, deeply admiring his own taste.

In her joy, Chen Shanni kissed him on the cheek, and then the two got out of the car.

It was just about time for the milk tea shop's trial opening.

At this moment, eight customers were already waiting at the entrance of the milk tea shop, presumably drawn by the "buy one get the second half off" promotion.

As the notice board at the entrance was changed, business officially began.

Everything went as expected, and the entire sales process proceeded in an orderly manner.

The pricing of the milk tea shop followed the mainstream; a medium cup of original flavor was three yuan, and the signature Taro Bobo was four yuan for a medium cup and six yuan for a large cup.

Because of the "second cup half off" deal and the fact that it was in a high-traffic area like Gourmet Street, there was no need to worry about the source of customers; the key was how to retain them.

There was already a milk tea shop on Gourmet Street called Shoushoubei Milk Tea Shop, which was twenty square meters and located at the end of Gourmet Street near the Communication University of China.

Business was very good.

Even though Compass Milk Tea Shop had clear geographical and environmental advantages, it wouldn't be that simple to snatch the customer flow away.

After the milk tea came out, a girl took a sip, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Mm, it's delicious!"

This filled the people behind with anticipation; cheap and delicious, who wouldn't love that?

Wu Yue'er smiled like a blooming flower at the side, asking the girl if there was anything that needed improvement, as it was a new opening and it was inevitable that there would be some oversights.

"I think it's pretty good."

After tasting it, the people behind also gave high praise.

At this moment, Shen Yan and Chen Shanni walked in from outside, ordered two cups of the signature milk tea, Taro Bobo, and then sat at a table near the workstation to boost the shop's popularity.

Noticing this situation, many girls were instantly overjoyed.

The intention to leave right after buying faded away.

They came to sit at the adjacent long table, secretly sizing up that handsome face, whispering to each other from time to time, their faces full of excitement.

Without a doubt, they were fangirls.

Wu Yue'er smiled knowingly; who doesn't love looking at handsome men and beautiful women? But when she noticed the exquisite jewelry on Chen Shanni's neck and earlobes, her heart turned sour again.

Bastard, if you didn't prepare one for me, you're dead.

Subsequently, there were more and more customers, the shop was packed, and a small long line formed outside.

The six employees, including Shao Mei, were busy beyond measure and couldn't stop for a moment; after all, they had just opened, and their movements were not yet skillful enough.

Helplessly, Wu Yue'er joined the ranks herself, and cup after cup of drinks were born from her hands, which made more and more guests come to the shop.

Most of them were boys.

This was a drink prepared by the Most Beautiful School Beauty, something not everyone could enjoy.
