After finishing three cups of coffee, Zhao Jiening felt bloated and knew it was time to leave.
But she didn't want to leave. Watching the man make coffee was truly enjoyable, like watching an art performance.
Strangely enough, this person is not as good-looking as Mr. Huo, or even as good-looking as her brother, but when she makes coffee, she is radiant.
"Handsome Lan, would you mind exchanging contact information? To be honest, I have some public relations resources, and sometimes I need... well, some technical talent, like bartenders or baristas. The pay is quite high. Are you interested?"
Blue Mountain was still making new coffee, not even lifting his eyelids. "If you have any business inquiries, please feel free to call our hotline." He didn't forget to place a business card on the counter.
Zhao Jiening's attempt to appease her was met with a cold reception. She felt a surge of anger and resentment. "It's the weekend, everyone's off work, and you're the only one making coffee non-stop. Does the boss pay you overtime? Who's going to deliver the coffee you make? Who's going to drink it for if no one orders?"
Lan Shan finally stopped what he was doing. He always had to respond to other people's concern. Before this, no one had ever asked him why he was doing this.
He measured out some coffee beans and replied, "The creation of any flavor of coffee involves countless research and experiments, and that's where my interest lies. When my boss hired me, he promised to provide me with unlimited free coffee beans and equipment. Where can I find such a great boss? Nobody else drinks it, but I've tried it myself!"
He's working for free and he's actually grateful? Isn't that stupid?
Zhao Jiening stared at him blankly, feeling a moment of deep respect. He was a pure person, someone whose eyes were only on coffee, and of course, a very stubborn person.
It didn't matter that she didn't get the number; Zhao Jiening had plenty of ways to handle it. As for why she needed the number, she couldn't explain it; the so-called public relations was just an excuse.
"Thank you for your delicious coffee. I'm going now."
"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off."
A flat, indifferent tone.
Zhao Jiening took three steps and turned back, only to find the man still looking at the coffee cup.
Fool, no one has ever been so indifferent to the little princess of a financial family.
Hmph! Just you wait!

Xue Qiandai returned to the villa.
Jian Yan had just sent out a package. She smiled at her from the garden, and Xue Qiandai's worries instantly vanished.
"Why are you back so soon?"
Xue Qiandai walked to the swing, sat down and swung for a bit. "Actually, it's quite boring. Besides, we just moved, and I haven't really enjoyed it yet."
She took a deep breath. The garden was lush and vibrant, with bees and butterflies playing around. Time seemed to stand still.
Jian Yan stood behind her and helped her swing on the swing. "Dai Dai, I looked into setting up a Taobao store today. There are actually many types of Taobao stores. The most common one is a C-store, which targets merchants nationwide. If you want to build a brand, then you need Taobao Mall, which has a reputation guarantee. Which one do you think we should register?"
"Which category does 'Never Stop Walking' belong to?" Brands always need benchmarks, and after discussion, they felt that "Never Stop Walking" was a classic example.
"The online store, the latter."
Without a second thought, Xue Qiandai said, "We need to create an online store too. Jian, one day our brand will become the number one women's clothing brand on Taobao, so we can't start too low."
Jian Yan didn't speak, but thought for a while, "Dai Dai, the C store only requires a deposit of 1,000 yuan, while the mall requires a deposit of 100,000 yuan."
What about 100,000?
Even a wealthy heiress can be stumped by a single penny; she just cleared out a bunch of her stock of cosmetics in order to rent a villa.
“Jane, I still have a lot of cosmetics; we can continue to sell them.”
The swing stopped, and Jian Yan squatted on the lawn, looking up at Xue Qiandai. "Dai Dai, selling cosmetics all the time is not a long-term solution. Cosmetics will eventually run out, while the Taobao store has just started. We don't know how many other places we will need money in the future. We must increase our income and have the ability to generate continuous revenue."
What Jian Yan didn't mention was that the reason they sold so quickly last time was because of the attention drawn by the "Fashion Vanguard" report. Now that the hype has died down, secondhand cosmetics are not selling well.
This is a real headache!
Xue Qiandai took Huo Meiren's card out of her bag, her eyes gleaming, Yu Xue's words from the tea party still ringing in her ears.
"I'm not listening, the Taobao store is the most important thing, I can't worry about anything else now." "Jian Yan, how about we deal with this emergency first?"
Jian Yan pushed her hand away, "Dai Dai, don't use it."
Jian Yan understood her pride and self-esteem.
"With our current salaries at the coffee shop, it would take us several months to raise the 100,000 yuan deposit, but we can't wait that long for our T-shirts. I have an idea, can you help me analyze it?"
"Go ahead," Xue Qiandai said, pulling Jian Yan up. The two went into the living room and sat on the sofa. There were washed apples on the coffee table.
Jian Yan's eyes lit up again. "Dai Dai, the coffee shop did very well last week, with orders doubling, but they were all individual customers. We were working ourselves to the bone and didn't make much money. But if we had a hundred or even a thousand big clients like Chao Xun, with group orders, wouldn't our business grow significantly? We'd have more money and less effort, and we could spend more time on the Taobao shop and on your haute couture. Don't you agree?"
In just a few words, Xue Qiandai saw another possibility: the commercialization of coffee delivery, developing large clients and group buying.
"But the question is, how do you find those one hundred big clients?"
In the past, Xue Qiandai could have accomplished this in no time; it was all about connections and relationships. But now, she can only rely on herself.
"I've made up my mind. I'll cold call, just like the boss did in the early days of starting his business."
Jian Yan said firmly.
