The brown sugar milk tea was divided into two plates, each weighing about five or six pounds, so Su Yan and Wen Liangce helped carry it to the stall.

Su Yan came to the mall, and when she and Chen Ting arrived at their seats, there was already a long line of customers waiting.

Chen Ting spread out a small table and placed the tray containing egg tarts on it, while Su Yan put down the milk tea she was holding.

The customer in front of the queue immediately said, "Miss, I want a raisin-flavored egg tart for 3 yuan."

"I want the original flavor for 1 yuan."

"I want the raisin flavor, which costs 2 yuan."

The guests who were talking took out their money and put it on the table, and then reached out to grab the bag.

Su Yan frowned.

Chen Ting glanced at Su Yan and hurriedly stopped the guests from doing it, "Don't do it yourselves, let me do it."

Upon hearing this, a customer immediately complained, "You're too slow! We all said we were in a hurry."

"That's right, it's just a few egg tarts, we won't give you any more!"

"I agree with you. You're young and don't know how to do business. You're inflexible and do things half-heartedly. Who will buy your stuff in the future?"

Su Yan and Chen Ting both understood a little Cantonese, and their expressions changed upon hearing these words.

Chen Ting blushed crimson, so embarrassed she wished she could bury herself in a hole right then and there.

Especially with Su Yan beside her, she felt guilty and ashamed, and stood there stunned, not knowing what to say.

Su Yan squinted and sized up the people who were speaking.

The four men looked nonchalant and disdainful as they looked at Chen Ting, hardly behaving like guests.

She took a deep breath and immediately realized that these people were just taking advantage of the situation!

Chen Ting is rather introverted. When there are many people, she speaks very softly and is prone to being flustered. So, customers in a hurry would leave their money on the table and grab the egg tarts themselves from the bag.

Chen Ting also felt that she was too slow and was afraid of losing business. In addition, due to her introverted nature, she acquiesced to the customer's behavior.

These people dared to be so arrogant because they knew she was a pushover.

Su Yan asked her directly, "Take a good look at these people, do they look familiar?"

Chen Ting looked up blankly, thought for a moment, and then nodded, "They came several times yesterday, each time bringing five yuan."

Su Yan sneered upon hearing this and immediately retorted without any politeness, "We're running a small business. We not only have to guarantee the quality and taste, but also keep the food clean. You all handle the food with your hands every time. Did you wash your hands before doing so?"

"Hey, who do you think you are? What do you mean by that? Do you think we're dirty? Do you even want to keep doing business?!"

The man in first place finished speaking loudly and raised his hand as if to overturn the table.

Chen Ting's eyes widened in terror, and she cried out, "No—!"

Su Yan crossed her arms and said coldly, "If you dare to overturn this table, I'll call the police and send you to jail right now!"

As expected.

The man immediately stopped what he was doing, staring fiercely at Su Yan as if he was about to rush up and hit her!

Chen Ting was too frightened to speak.

Su Yan remained calm and said slowly, "You thieves, if you know what's good for you, get out of here now. If you don't, I'm going to report you to the police for suspected malicious damage to other people's property. There are so many eyes watching here, anyone can help me prove your actions."

The man stared intently at her, his teeth itching with anger. "Fine, you win. Just you wait and see! Let's go!"

He grabbed the money from the table and ran away, and the other three quickly followed.

Chen Ting stared in astonishment at the sight, "They...they're in cahoots?"

“Yes,” Su Yan said.

Chen Ting's feelings became complicated. "How did you figure that out?"

"First, the purpose of several of them talking at the same time is to disrupt your train of thought so that they can take the goods and leave, because there are so many customers behind, and you don't have time to count the money they throw down. Second, the amount of money they give is wrong, and it's all loose change."

The loose change was all in cents or dimes, so Chen Ting didn't have time to count it.

Upon hearing this, one of the customers in line immediately said, "You're quite something, young lady! I could tell those guys weren't good people!"

“They were never good people to begin with. Yesterday, a few of them cut in line and pushed an old man down. They looked fierce and menacing. The old man was afraid of getting into trouble, so he didn’t dare to say a word and left with his grandson.”

"What a disgrace! These bastards! I should have called the police to arrest them!"

...

The more Chen Ting listened, the more guilty she felt. Her eyes reddened, and she lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, Ayan. I was too stupid and timid. I couldn't even see that these people had problems. If you hadn't come today, I don't know how much I would have lost."

Su Yan patted her shoulder, "It's okay, a few egg tarts won't cost much. Relax, let's focus on business first, we'll talk about the rest when we get back."

Chen Ting responded and quickly composed herself.

Su Yan looked at the long line of customers and said loudly, "Hello everyone, this is my good friend's first time doing business, so she's a little slow. Plus, she's a bit introverted, so I hope you can all be understanding. I believe she'll do better in time. Please give her the time to grow. Thank you all in advance."

"Young lady, you're too kind. We're not in a hurry. Those who are in a hurry don't have to buy it!"

"That's right, we're all here for the taste of your egg tarts, we have plenty of time to wait in line."

"Don't cry, little girl. We don't mind that you're slow. You can take your time next time."

Chen Ting nodded excitedly, "Thank you everyone!"

Su Yan continued, "Food is something that goes into our stomachs. To ensure hygiene and safety, I hope that guests who are in a hurry can wait patiently so that we can pack the egg tarts and hand them to you by hand."

In addition, we've developed a new beverage today called Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea. Due to limited stock, each person can only try a small amount for free. If you like the taste, we'll sell it in the future.

Upon hearing this, the people in line instantly erupted in excitement, all asking, "What's bubble tea? We've never heard of it before."

"Milk tea is made with milk and tea leaves. A friendly reminder: if you are allergic to either of these, please do not drink it. Also, we don't have anything to hold it here, so you will need to use your own cups. If you don't have any, you can go back and get some now. If you don't want to go back, you can wait until next time."

Everyone who brought their own cup was happy.

Those who didn't bring it, and those who live nearby, should quickly send their children back to get it.

In less than half an hour, both the egg tarts and milk tea were sold out.

There were still quite a few people queuing behind her, so Chen Ting hurried back to get the egg tarts.
