"Yes, very good."
Chen Feng smiled with satisfaction.
"Of course, I can persevere, but my hands will still get sore."
Liu Lulin pursed her lips. "I've thought about it carefully, and my limit should be half a month. After half a month..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Feng rested his chin on his hand and muttered to himself, "This job is indeed very hard. It's a bit unfair to only pay you double. Let me give you a sales commission as well, tentatively set at one percent of the store's total sales."
Liu Lulin's eyes widened immediately.
Keep in mind that the average price at Tangxuemi City is 12 yuan. If they can maintain today's popularity...
One percent of the store's total sales, that's at least 7,000 yuan a month!
With double pay added, wouldn't that mean a monthly income of nearly 10,000?
Liu Lulin never dreamed that she, a high school graduate, would one day earn more than college students!
"By the way, what were you going to say just now?"
Chen Feng looked at Liu Lulin and asked, "What are you going to do in half a month?"
“I said… I can grit my teeth and try again in half a month.”
"Oh, that's good, that's good."
Chen Feng's lips curled up into a playful smile. "I thought I was going to be hiring new employees in two weeks."
"Hehe, how could that be?"
Liu Lulin smiled, but no matter how you looked at it, her smile seemed somewhat forced. "Boss, your milk tea is ready."
"Okay, you go ahead with your work, I'm leaving."
Watching Chen Feng's departing figure, Liu Lulin frowned slightly, her face full of confusion.
Logically speaking, wouldn't it be better to hire two new employees?
From a cost perspective, a 1% commission on sales is enough to hire three more milk tea girls;
From a revenue perspective, with more milk tea girls at Sugar & Spice City, the store can be busier and sell more milk tea.
Why would Chen Feng rather earn less money and pay more wages than let himself "hold the line" alone?
This... doesn't make any sense at all!
Little did Liu Lulin know that Chen Feng wanted her to be too busy, and he wanted long queues at Tangxuemi City every day.
This is the only way to bring more impact to business owners who are still in a wait-and-see state, and to better stimulate consumers' desire to buy and their sense of urgency.
After returning to Chenxi Residence, Chen Feng immediately got to work.
He sat at his computer desk drafting a marketing plan, while Li Wanwan sat beside him, sipping her milk tea and looking at Chen Feng's profile, a look of pleasure and satisfaction flashing in her eyes from time to time.
...
Evening, at the Central Hospital of the Ancient City.
With his face bruised and swollen, Chen Haoran lay on the hospital bed, his entire body wrapped in bandages, looking like a giant rice dumpling.
"Squeak!"
The ward door opened, and Chen Liqiang, who had rushed from Jinglan County to the ancient city upon hearing the news, walked in.
"How is Haoran? He..."
"Shh!"
Wang Yaqin immediately stood up and made a shushing gesture.
"Keep your voice down, Haoran just fell asleep."
Wang Yaqin spoke in a high-pitched voice, "Let's talk outside."
Chen Liqiang glanced at Chen Haoran on the hospital bed, then turned and left the ward, with Wang Yaqin following closely behind.
Outside the ward, both Chen Shih-Han and Chen Szu-Chi looked exhausted.
Wang Yaqin forbade the two sisters from entering the ward, citing that too many people would disturb Chen Haoran's rest. However, fearing that there might be some procedures to be completed or things to be purchased, Wang Yaqin asked Chen Shihhan and Chen Siqi to stay there and be ready to be dispatched at any time.
They had been standing outside for two whole hours, but Wang Yaqin didn't feel anything was wrong at all. On the contrary, she thought it was something that Chen Shihan and her sister should do as the older sisters.
It is no exaggeration to say that Wang Yaqin's favoritism towards Chen Haoran is deeply ingrained.
"Haoran has three broken ribs and a broken humerus in his left arm."
Wang Yaqin said in a deep voice, "However, the doctor said that Haoran's injuries are not too serious. In addition, he is young and has a strong recovery ability. As long as he rests well, he should not have any sequelae."
Upon hearing this, Chen Liqiang breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Chen Haoran doesn't suffer any lasting effects, that's fine.
His biggest worry was that Chen Haoran would become disabled.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Chen Liqiang turned to Chen Siqi and asked, "Shouldn't Haoran be in school today? Why did he go to Gucheng Finance and Economics and get into a conflict with that unfilial son, Chen Feng?"
"I... Haoran and I missed Chen Feng, so we went to the Ancient City Finance Bureau together to see how he was doing..."
Chen Siqi made up a sentence off the top of her head.
She understood that Chen Liqiang was in a bad mood right now.
If I tell the truth, at best I'll get a good scolding, and at worst I might get beaten up.
For her own safety, Chen Siqi decided to shift all the blame onto Chen Feng.
Since Chen Feng was the least favored child in the family and had completely fallen out with his parents and left the Chen family, he was the perfect scapegoat.
Seeing this, Chen Shih-han secretly sneered.
Missing Chen Feng?
Chen Siqi and Chen Haoran have always disliked Chen Feng, so why would they suddenly become kind and make a special trip to Gucheng Finance to visit Chen Feng?
Furthermore, if it was just a visit, how could Chen Haoran have been beaten into this state?
Anyone who believes Chen Siqi's story is a complete fool!
But what Chen Liqiang and Wang Yaqin said next completely shattered Chen Shihhan's worldview.
"Haoran has been kind-hearted since he was a child."
Chen Liqiang sighed.
"That unfilial son is becoming more and more lawless!"
Wang Yaqin gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with burning anger. "Haoran was visiting him out of kindness, why did he hit Haoran?"
"Is he crazy?"
Chen Shihhan stood there stunned for a few seconds before quickly asking, "Dad, Mom, do you really believe that Chen Feng would beat Haoran for no reason?"
Why don't you believe it?
Wang Yaqin crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "That little beast is morally corrupt and full of bad habits. He's capable of doing the most heinous things."
Chen Shihhan took a deep breath and scolded Chen Siqi, "Siqi, tell me the truth, why did you and Haoran go to Gucheng Finance? What did you do to offend Chen Feng?"
"I……"
Meeting Chen Shih-han's sharp gaze, Chen Szu-chi felt incredibly guilty, but she still stubbornly insisted, "Sister, what I just said was the truth. Why would Hao-ran and I possibly provoke Chen Feng?"
"Still lying, huh?"
Chen Shih-Han narrowed her eyes. "Chen Si-Qi, don't say I didn't tell you."
"If you keep spouting nonsense, I'm going to call you out in front of Mom and Dad!"
Chen Siqi subconsciously took two steps back. "Sis, what are you saying? I... I don't understand?"
