As the two continued walking, they somehow found themselves agreeing not to discuss what had just happened, but instead began to appreciate the street. They noticed that there were more and more Chinese elements in foreign places.

Although the streets were full of Westerners, I felt a strange sense of familiarity when I saw those Chinese elements.

"Qiqi, when are you going to expand your coffee shops in China? The coffee is so good, and the desserts are so delicious, but why are there so few of them? I'll really be sad if people can't enjoy such great food, okay?"

Yu Qi was somewhat puzzled.

Qi Jiu looked at her slightly puzzled little head and chuckled.

"Opening a store is not something you can just talk about. You have to consider factors like location and average spending per person. City A is the most suitable, so we opened our first store in City A, but we will probably expand in the future."

Per capita consumption is very important now. China is very prosperous, that's undeniable. But not every city is as prosperous as City A. Some places are still undeveloped, and their average consumption cannot be raised.

Moreover, there are still many small cities in the third, fourth, and eighteenth tiers, where the average consumption level is generally not very high.

Kaka's food is so delicious and popular, so the price will naturally be a little higher. If people can't accept it and no one buys it, then opening this shop is a waste of time.

She believed that Yu Qi should understand this principle.

As expected, Yu Qi nodded knowingly.

While they were chatting, the two of them walked into the coffee shop. As soon as they pushed open the door, the aroma of coffee and desserts wafted out. At the same time, they could see the smiling faces of the staff.

"Hello, do you still have matcha mousse?"

Yu Qi searched for a long time at the counter next to her but found nothing, so she walked to the front desk with her last hope.

The shop assistant shook her head somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry, sir, the matcha mousse is quite popular and it's a new product. Today's batch is already sold out. You can come back earlier tomorrow to buy it."

Upon hearing this, Yu Qi said "Oh," and then asked, "Then, which one can help me with?"

The shop assistant looked at where she was pointing and nodded. "Excuse me, are you a member? This dessert is for members only."

"Huh? This..."

"We have members, could you please wrap this up for us?"

Just as Yu Qi was feeling a bit dejected, the person next to her had already brought up an interface on their phone.

The shop assistant paused for a moment when he saw the familiar yet unfamiliar interface. Then, a wide smile spread across his face.

"Dear guest, please wait a moment. Besides this dessert, do you need anything else?"

Little did they know, while the two of them were making their move, Yu Qi's eyes were already sparkling, and he was practically drooling as he looked at the girl.

"No wonder the female protagonists in novels like to see the CEO pay for everything. I like it too. If a man were willing to do that for me, I definitely wouldn't be able to resist and would pounce on him."

Qi Jiu: "..."

After living in the US for a few days, has your brain stopped working properly?

Finally, the two left the cafe carrying their bags. Just as they pushed open the door, Yu Qi hadn't even had time to react when she felt a force pulling her to the side.

It's Qi Jiu.

Looking up again, they saw a person dressed in black and wearing a baseball cap hurrying past them. If they didn't avoid him, he might actually be pretending to be someone else.

"No, I wasn't on my phone. Why aren't you watching where you're going? I'm carrying so many bags, what if someone bumps into me?"

Yu Qi's small head was filled with big questions, unaware of the probing look in the eyes of those around her.

Are you alright?

Yu Qi shook her head. "It's nothing."

On their way back, the two subconsciously looked back at the alley they had just passed, and sure enough, it was empty.

I don't know when or how Chuyu left, but it doesn't seem to matter at all.

In the library, An Ran looked at the two people returning side by side and blinked in confusion.

Qi Jiu naturally saw his expression, but didn't say anything. She casually handed out the coffee she had bought, and when she sat down, she saw a sticky note in front of her.

'Where's your first language?'

Upon seeing this, the girl picked up a pen without hesitation and wrote something on it. When Anran took it back, she saw a line of very unrestrained words on it.

'He's gone; he probably won't be back anytime soon.'

There are many puzzling points in this sentence, but An Ran actually stopped writing there, just nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and began to enjoy the coffee in front of her.

Although I've been missing one person these past few days, it hasn't affected me at all.

The final match is just around the corner.

Qi Jiu stood on the podium at the front, looking at her opponent whose score was not much different from her own. There was no tension on her face. She even started playing with the carbon pen in her hand.

"No wonder Qiqi is the BOSS. With that kind of mentality, she wouldn't even be flustered if an Italian cannon came to the door."

Hearing this, An Ran and the others all remained silent.

Do you want to hear what you're saying? You can even come up with something like an Italian cannon? Does this country have a Lee Sedol?

"However, why does this scene look so familiar?"

Chang Xiaoyuan tilted his head in confusion, not yet figuring out what was going on, when he heard a somewhat cold voice beside him.

"The first academic competition, the match between Qiqi and Ketan."

Speaking of this, he finally seemed to remember something. "That's right, back then, Ketan was also very aggressive in this stage."

It remains to be seen who will emerge victorious in this final match, and whether Qi Jiu will once again leave her opponents far behind as she has done before.

"The first round is over! Let's begin the second round of the quiz!" The host was dressed in formal attire.

"Listen to the question: If internationally..."

The lecture hall was completely silent except for the voices of the host and the two contestants.

Leng Ruo pursed her lips as she looked at the increasing number of green tags under the opposing player's photo. Compared to the others around her, her attitude was quite calm.

"No, Qiqi didn't get any points? Qiqi didn't get any points on three questions in a row? I can answer these questions, how could she not get any points? Is she hiding something?" Chang Xiaoyuan's face was full of disbelief, which showed what kind of person Qijiu was in his mind.

safely:"……"

"We're abroad, can't you speak a little more politely?"

Chang Xiaoyuan was taken aback, then smiled sheepishly, grinning at the spectators next to him who were also watching the game.
