“The place where deep affection couldn’t reach had long been entered by someone driving a Maybach.”
After realizing he was just a backup option, Xia Tian hardened his heart and stopped believ...
Chapter 201: Years of Experience as a Profligate Merchant
Chayu milk tea shop.
Although the geographical location is not very good, the store opened by Deng Jiangming here could not be operated anymore because a larger supermarket opened on the other side of the playground two years ago, so he sold it to Xia Tian.
But people are curious about new things after all.
Therefore, even though the location of this place is very ordinary, when the grown-up students hear that a new milk tea shop has opened in the school, they are willing to take a detour and come here specifically to buy a cup of milk tea and have a look.
At first they didn’t have much expectations, they just thought that buying milk tea here was closer than going outside the school.
But when I got there, I found that the decoration style of this newly opened milk tea shop was very simple and stylish.
There are seven or eight round dark oak tables and leisure rattan chairs at the door, and parasols are thoughtfully placed beside the tables.
This avant-garde style is something that the two milk tea shops originally opened in the cafeteria of Changdali did not have.
After buying milk tea, you can sit at the door and chat with your classmates or your partner.
"Wow, this milk tea shop is so beautifully decorated!"
"This place is really nice. We can have dates here in the future. Especially in the evening, I can sit here with my partner, enjoying the evening breeze and drinking milk tea. It's so nice just thinking about it."
"Oh? There's a half-price promotion for the second cup right after the opening. That's great. The new boss is really thoughtful."
The students who came to the milk tea shop were talking about it.
The decoration and furnishings here made them feel bright.
It is no worse than those milk tea shops and coffee shops outside the school.
The most interesting thing is that on one side of the milk tea shop, there is a road sign with very interesting text.
"I missed you so much growing up."
These things have a unique flavor, all of which are the methods that Xia Tian used before his rebirth when he ran the internet-famous milk tea shop.
At this time in 2013, these things were not yet popular.
In summer, it is set up at the entrance of "Chayu", which seems very innovative.
Behind this road sign, there happens to be a milk tea shop with beautiful decoration. With the milk tea shop as the background and the road sign as a check-in point, it has attracted many girls who love taking photos to line up to check in and take photos.
When several older boys from dormitory 214 arrived at the door of the milk tea shop, they were also amazed by the people at the door.
"Damn, this milk tea shop is pretty cool!"
"Is this really our school's milk tea shop? I rarely see it outside the school. It's quite interesting."
Zhou Jiashu and Wuchuan both talked about it with great relish, but Gao Xingjian took a different perspective.
He looked at Chayu, pondered for a while, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "This place is really nice, a good place for a date. I will bring Xiao Shen here some other day, drink a cup of milk tea, and have a love affair. It's wonderful!"
"I thought we were here to drink milk tea, not alcohol... Besides, we haven't even had our drink yet, and you're already talking nonsense?"
Xia Tian laughed and couldn't help but make a teasing remark.
Looking at Qin Feng, Mu Qingqing and Li Lu busying around in the store, there was a faint sign of a queue at the front desk, which surprised Xia Tian.
Even without any promotion outside the milk tea shop, the flow of people is already very good.
The seats inside the store were completely occupied.
"Tsk, I still underestimated the curiosity of college students towards new things. Maybe this milk tea shop will be popular in the school for a while without my promotion."
Xia Tian squinted his eyes and muttered a few words in his heart.
Fortunately, before opening the store, he deliberately set the price of milk tea high.
After all, it had just opened, and they were offering a half-price promotion for the second cup.
If it is too cheap, you will lose money to some extent.
After the event is over, the price will be lowered. This is equivalent to attracting traffic with the "second cup" half-price event, and earning word of mouth with "price reduction".
Without years of experience as a dishonest businessman, one would not be able to do such a thing.
"Come on, don't just stand there like an idiot. There are still a few empty seats. Sit down quickly to avoid them being filled up later."
Seeing that a few people were still looking at the milk tea shop, Xia Tian pushed Gao Xingjian and the others.
After sitting down, Xia Tian pointed to the glass menu on the table and said, "What are you guys going to drink? It's my treat."
Zhou Jiashu looked up suddenly: "Damn, Old Xia, are you really going to treat us to a drink?"
"What nonsense! The entire milk tea shop belongs to me. Is there anything wrong with me treating you guys to a few cups of milk tea?"
"Come on, Lao Xia, we're already at the milk tea shop, so stop bragging. If you have a little money and treat us to milk tea, we really believe it. If you say this milk tea shop is yours... ahem, then I'll have to say you look like Comrade Xiao Gao."
After seeing the scale and decoration style of the milk tea shop, Zhou Jiashu and others were even more unconvinced that this milk tea shop was for summer.
After all, it is such a big store and has such fashionable and avant-garde decoration.
How is it possible to do this without hundreds of thousands of dollars?
Gao Xingjian also rolled his eyes, hugged Xia Tian's neck and said, "Old Xia, just pretend in the dormitory. Don't we know whether this milk tea shop is yours? You can fool your buddies, but don't dare to fool yourself."
"????"
Xia Tian opened his mouth and thought that these guys really had no tact at all.
"If this milk tea shop wasn't mine, I would have shut up when I got to the door. But I haven't changed my words yet, so it's obvious that this milk tea shop is really mine! Why don't you believe it?"
"I really don't want to show off. After all, we are all roommates. I want to get along with you as an ordinary person..."
Xia Tian tried to explain earnestly, but the people in dormitory 214 only rolled their eyes in response.
"Okay, okay, if this milk tea shop is really yours, you can ask the girl who makes milk tea to personally deliver the milk tea we ordered. If you can really do it, I will believe it!"
Xia Tian followed Gao Xingjian's gaze and found that the person he was pointing at was Mu Qingqing.
Xia Tian shook his head and said, "No, that won't work. Didn't you see so many people lining up to buy milk tea? If I call her over, it will only delay things."
"Tsk, you have so many excuses."
"Damn it, believe it or not, I'm going to order food, and you guys are just sitting here waiting!"
After entering the store, Xia Tian did not choose to cut in line just because he was the boss.
He stood at the back of the line in an orderly manner, and while waiting, he observed the customers sitting inside the store.
After a rough observation, I found that most of them were couples sitting together.
There was milk tea on the table but we hardly drank it. We just chatted face to face.
Girls occasionally give a shy smile.
Xia Tian's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something very important.
That is the common method used by milk tea shops to sensationalize people - the message wall.
"When we get back tonight, tell Qin Feng and ask them to find time to buy the materials and make it."
Xia Tian thought silently, and finally it was his turn to order.
"Hello, what would you like to drink... um? Xia Xuedi, why are you here!"
Li Lu, who was temporarily in charge of the cashier, found that the person ordering food in front of her was Xia Tian, and her expression was very surprised.
"Ahem, come sit with my roommate...Um, three cups of taro Oreo milk tea, and two cups of Heart-beating Grass Jelly."
"Oh, sure. Just sit there and I'll bring it to you when it's ready."
Xia Tian waved his hand: "No, there are too many people here, so I won't bother you. Give me the lottery number, and I'll come and get it later."
"Oh well."
Li Lu didn't say much. There were indeed a lot of people in the store at the moment, and the three of them were already a little overwhelmed.
After Xia Tian got the lottery number, he turned around and returned to Gao Xingjian and the others.
As soon as I returned to my seat, I found that Zhou Jiashu seemed to have discovered something and kept winking at Xia Tian and others.
Following his gaze, I found that it was Shen Lexi and another girl walking towards the milk tea shop...
