At 32 years old, Chi Chan, single since birth, lived a struggling life, exhausted every day just to survive.
At 16 years old, Chi Chan was spirited and full of confidence, ready to enter a ne...
Did Xiao Chan offend them?
These shameless old bastards are all masters of changing their tune, faster than turning the pages of a book!
When it comes to protecting their children, Chi Minghe and his wife are second to none.
So, just like Zhang Qiaoyue, Chi Minghe spread his hands and said in a helpless tone, "Brothers, what do you think of our shop?"
Is there any business?
Today, Qiaoyue and I just sat there facing the air all day!
We're just as worried as you are!
I'm so worried I'm frantic!
Chi Minghe also tried to be clever, his words implying, "There's no other way!"
"well----"
"..."
Upon hearing this, the crowd sighed incessantly.
Although the Chi family's shops are also struggling, at least they still have the bookstore to keep going for now.
So, the couple were flustered, but not too panicked. This confidence stemmed from the bookstore's business and the profits from their recent promotional activities.
Now, after watching this impromptu performance by the old folks, Chi Ming and his wife feel even less distressed.
Indeed, one's own happiness must be built upon the suffering of others.
Shop owners: Painful mask jpg.
Chi Minghe and his wife: On the surface—I'm very sad; On the inside—hahahahahaha!
After seeing off the worried shop owners, Chi Minghe immediately adopted a somber expression.
Clearly, Chi Minghe wasn't as indifferent as he had just appeared.
"Qiaoyue, Zhang Cui's entourage seems specifically targeting our shop."
Zhang Qiaoyue nodded: "I think so too!"
If it weren't for them, selling at such a low price would be a recipe for disaster!
"Could it be that Zhang Cui's family really won the lottery and doesn't need that little bit of money?"
Zhang Qiaoyue didn't believe it: "How is that possible? If you won the lottery, would you be willing to spend money like this?"
Chi Minghe immediately shook his head!
Zhang Qiaoyue changed the subject: "When will Duocai's shop open?"
The renovation was completed a couple of days ago, and these past two days have been filled with workers coming and going, moving furniture, appliances, and other items.
"It'll be ready soon, the signboard is already up!"
Chi Minghe has been getting a headache lately whenever he thinks about this.
Zhang Cui's restaurant is eyeing "Qiao Mama" restaurant with great interest, and now a new milk tea shop is about to open.
The Chi family's business lately can truly be described as being besieged on all sides.
Zhang Qiaoyue initially viewed milk tea with disgust.
After all, a beverage made with saccharin and flavoring is not only unpalatable, but also expensive.
However, after Chi Chan proposed opening a milk tea shop and Chi Minghe went for training, Zhang Qiaoyue gradually learned more about milk tea.
She gradually changed her initial prejudices and even came to like drinking milk tea.
Zhang Qiaoyue's favorite drink is lemonade from Mimi Ice Cream.
After a long day of work, when Zhang Qiaoyue finally sat down to rest, she took a big sip of refreshing, sweet and sour lemonade, which instantly rekindled her energy.
"This interior design style is different from other milk tea brands on the market."
Zhang Qiaoyue was puzzled. The owner of the new milk tea shop was very mysterious. It was almost time to open, but she had only seen construction workers and employees coming and going.
"It's quite upscale. I think the decor is almost the same as those high-end coffee shops in the city center!"
Since entering the milk tea industry, Chi Minghe has started to pay more attention to beverages.
Chi Chan also encouraged Chi Ming and Duo Duo to pay more attention to the milk tea market, and if there were any good ones, they could try to create their own new products.
Anyway, the headquarters is far away and can't control their little shop.
In recent years, the headquarters has been busy expanding and seizing market share, and its management of branches has not been strict, giving branches considerable autonomy in their operations and management.
It's good that management is lax!
For Chi Chan, making a profit is of course more important!
Therefore, Chi Chan, in a very unethical manner, told Chi Minghe to observe more, do more research, and buy whichever product sells well on the market.
Chi Minghe, however, had his own principles on this matter and did not do as Chi Chan suggested.
We simply made minor adjustments to the taste and flavor of the beverages already available at headquarters, based on consumer preferences.
In other words, Chi Minghe's MiMi Ice Cream Milk Tea shop is more suited to the tastes of Changsha residents!
Chi Chan saw that Chi Minghe's business was doing very well after he made slight adjustments to the flavors, so she didn't say anything more.
Perhaps later, as the competition intensifies, Chi Minghe will change his mind.
Facing the upcoming competition, Chi Minghe does indeed have the idea of launching new products.
"What? Selling ice cream?"
Zhang Qiaoyue was surprised.
"Yes! The weather is getting warmer lately, and I'd like to buy an ice cream machine to put in the shop to attract more customers."
Chi Minghe revealed his long-planned scheme.
"Are you able to manage?"
Making milk tea is already busy enough, and you also have to take care of fried chicken and burgers, and now you're making ice cream too?
Zhang Qiaoyue looked at Chi Minghe suspiciously. She understood the principle that you can't bite off more than you can chew!
Don't end up wanting everything but getting nothing in the end.
That would truly be a losing proposition.
Making ice cream doesn't take much effort.
I mix the ingredients according to the recipe in advance and then pour them into the ice cream machine.
A customer can have one ready in just a few seconds!
Is there anything you can't handle?
"Is that so?" Zhang Qiaoyue thought about it for a moment and it seemed to be the case, so she waved her hand and agreed.
After the couple made their decision, Chi Minghe went to order the ice cream machine.
Just as the couple had predicted, the milk tea shop not far away opened immediately after all its items were moved in.
"A new milk tea shop has opened near the No. 1 Middle School in the city. The first cup is free!"
The news of the new milk tea shop opening spread like wildfire among the students of the No. 1 Middle School.
As soon as get out of class ended at noon, a long queue formed in front of the newly opened milk tea shop.
Clearly, the "first cup free" gimmick is quite attractive to students.
Forget-me-not?
Chi Chan, who came to pick up her lunch at the 'Qiao Mama' restaurant, got goosebumps all over when she saw the name of the restaurant.
What a terrible name!
That's so unconventional!
Unfortunately, non-mainstream trends are now the mainstream, and many students like this kind of style.
Chi Chan thought that Ye Zijin's name for the milk tea shop was quite successful, accurately targeting the high school student consumer group at the No. 1 Middle School in the city.
I wonder what kinds of products this milk tea shop offers?
Chi Chan turned her head, originally heading towards the No. 1 Middle School, and instead went to the newly opened milk tea shop.
A long queue had formed outside the store, but Chi Chan naturally had no intention of buying anything.
Ignoring everyone's gaze, I went straight into the store.
Chi Chan quickly glanced at the types of milk tea, made a note of them, and then left.
