After the New Year, An'an's coffee shop opened smoothly, and she named it Anxin Coffee.
It symbolizes that every customer who enters the store will have everything go smoothly.
On the first day of opening, everyone came to support us.
There was gonging and drumming, it was quite a lively scene.
An An also posted a social media update. She has a lot of friends, and all her friends who saw it came to check in. An An doesn't make them pay.
"Don't give me money, consider this my treat. It's just a cup of coffee. I'm more than happy that you came to support me."
“An’an, you’re getting more and more amazing. You’ve even started your own business. You two are really capable.”
Friends praised her, saying that she managed to balance family and career very well!
"Isn't there nothing much going on? Besides, the advantage of working for yourself is that you have flexible hours, which allows you to spend more time with your children."
An An smiled and didn't take it to heart.
"That's true. It's mainly because you have the means. People like us working class probably can't achieve that."
Friends sighed, "Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable."
"Not at all, I see your job is going pretty smoothly."
"We'll both get better and better. Come over whenever you want coffee. You're my lifelong VIP customer."
An An felt that it was all just a small amount of money; the most important thing was that her friends were happy.
An'an originally only hired two employees, but Xie Chuan was worried that An'an would be too tired, so he hired two more for her. Now there are four employees in the store. An'an doesn't have to do anything else. The employees are all very perceptive.
"Honey, you've hired way too many employees for me."
An An felt that there shouldn't have been so many waiters in the first place.
“I think it’s just enough. Look how good business is in the store right now. Everyone has their own things to do. I even thought you didn’t have enough coffee machines. I’ve already bought you two more.”
Xie Chuan was worried that An An would get tired.
"Honey, you're so observant."
"That's natural."
An'an's shop has become quite popular because of its nice environment and good promotion.
Everyone thought the coffee tasted great, so An An hired two more employees.
Many of her peers even tried to find out what kind of coffee beans she used, but An An immediately saw through their scheme.
"I'm telling you, instead of wasting your time trying to figure out how to improve the taste of your coffee, what kind of business is it to be trying to find out information from me?"
An An asked with a half-smile.
After being exposed, he stopped pretending.
He also knew that An'an was the daughter of the Xu family.
“Miss Xu, you’re not content with being a proper young lady, you insist on competing with us for business. Ever since your coffee shop opened, all the people in this area have been coming here. It’s making it impossible for us to survive.”
The man tried to gain sympathy.
Since they couldn't get any information out of him, they started playing the sympathy card.
"You don't need to brainwash me here. Everyone has things they want to do. Even if my family is rich, does that mean I have to be someone who does nothing? Can't I do what I like?"
An An retorted, she wasn't buying it at all.
"Let me teach you another trick. The most important thing in opening a coffee shop is choosing the right beans. While I'm tasting beans and studying abroad, what are you doing?"
“Each store has a different positioning. Even if you learn what I have here, you won’t be able to use it when you go back.”
"Go back to what you're supposed to be doing right now. Don't let me find out you're up to any more tricks, or I definitely won't let you off easily."
An'an was too lazy to waste words with him and simply asked him to leave. When she got home that night, she told Xie Chuan what had happened that day, and Xie Chuan was furious when he heard it.
He wants to confront that person now and demand an explanation. How dare they openly bully his wife while he's not around?
"Honey, you're exaggerating. He didn't bully me, and I even scolded him."
"It might just be jealousy, but it's true that my shop is the only one in the vicinity right now, and it's doing the best business."
An An said happily, after all, this proved that she had made the right decision to open her coffee shop, otherwise so many people wouldn't have come to her to inquire about information. Of course, she didn't welcome sneaky exchanges, but open and aboveboard exchanges were fine, healthy competition.
“It seems everyone thinks these coffee beans are very fragrant, but I think it’s too much trouble to import them from abroad every time. Could we talk to the foreign manufacturers and cooperate directly? That would be more convenient.”
An An suggested based on the current situation.
"Of course, but we might need to go abroad."
"No problem, then we can take the baby abroad for a trip while we're at it."
The two quickly reached an agreement.
"Okay, I'll arrange it tomorrow."
Xie Chuan was very efficient; he quickly got all the plane tickets for the family of three sorted out.
"Honey, Daddy's taking us on a trip abroad."
An'an pinched her baby's little face and said with a smile.
"Great! We can go out and play again. When Mom comes back from her trip, I want to bring back a gift for my best friend."
Little Xie Si'an cheered. He had made many good friends in kindergarten, and his personality was just like An'an's.
"no problem."
An'an readily agreed, hoping that her son could make many friends at school and learn to share with others.
Xie Chuan has already contacted the coffee vendors.
As soon as the plane landed, they didn't rush to negotiate, but instead spent two days sightseeing in the area.
"The people here seem quite friendly."
"This country's tourism industry has developed now. It used to be a small country, but thanks to tourism, its economy and other aspects have caught up."
"What they are most famous for here is their coffee; most of their coffee beans come from the brand we sell."
Xie Chuan explained.
"It seems we really made the right choice. Indeed, the taste is very good, very mellow and fragrant."
"After trying this coffee bean, I feel that the coffees I've had at other coffee shops in the same price range are simply incomparable to this one."
An'an smelled the aroma and said happily.
“I think so too, so now I’ve switched all the coffee beans in the company to this type.”
Xie Chuan and An An also gave the bean high praise.
Even now, Xie Si'an is slowly starting to learn to appreciate coffee, but he's still young and will definitely find it too bitter.
Even when he mixes coffee and milk, he still finds it bitter.
But sometimes he wants An'an to make him something to drink. Now that the baby is older, he's not as naughty as An'an imagined, and he's also very sensible.
The new mothers I met at the postpartum care center would sometimes complain to me about how naughty their children were and how they wouldn't listen to anything I said.
Compared to them, Xie Si'an is much better.
The reason their children are like that must be because of problems with their parenting methods.
After a few wonderful days of fun, it's time to get down to business.
As soon as they arrived at the agreed place, someone was already waiting for them.
This was also what Xie Chuan's friend told him. Xie Chuan's friend was also very familiar with the boss of this company. A friend of a friend is naturally a friend too.
After all, it's important to make friends in this society, because you never know when they might come in handy. Besides, he also knew Xie Chuan's background.
Of course, we should treat them with great hospitality.
"I've heard Mr. Zhang mention your name many times. Meeting you today, I can see that you are indeed young and promising."
"Mr. Li, you're too kind. You're very capable too. It must be tough working alone overseas."
Xie Chuan complimented politely.
"That's all in the past. We've succeeded now, haven't we? All the hardships we endured weren't for nothing."
For a Chinese person to work hard overseas and rise to a senior management position in an overseas company, they must have put in a lot of effort.
Xie Chuan also admired him.
