He was afraid that Lin Yiran would disagree, but the result was beyond his expectations.
"Alright!" Lin Yiran stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "I agree to let you join my food shop! I'm hiring you as the manager of my chain of cake shops, and I'll pay you a salary. In the future, we'll work together to make my cake shops bigger and stronger!"
Having one more person means having one more helper, even though it will take away some of her earnings, but...
Senran works for the military and has his own network of connections.
This is exactly what Lin Yiran values.
But these aren't the most important points. Anyway, we'll talk about the future later!
Lin Yiran readily agreed to his request, then tilted her head and immediately fell asleep.
God knows, she was just too tired.
She had already strained her strength to talk to Senran. Now that things were resolved, she had no choice but to collapse into bed and sleep. She slept soundly, completely still, and didn't even know how she got into the room.
……………………
The next morning, I saw Senran sitting in a wheelchair wearing an apron, cooking in the kitchen.
Actually, it wasn't really cooking; it was just taking out the steamed buns, boxed lunches, braised chicken legs, and other things Lin Yiran left behind, heating them up, and frying two eggs, one for each person.
However, Lin Yiran was still very curious about how she got from the flying car to the bed.
When asked this question, Sen Ran smiled and said, "I carried you back?"
"Gah?" Lin Yiran was startled and let out a duck-like quack.
He pulled his head out of the bowl halfway through his meal.
Senran: "I was just kidding. The robot butler carried you back. You know my leg is completely immobile."
Lin Yiran then lowered her head and continued eating, relieved.
Perhaps she was too engrossed in eating to notice that the robot butler, who had been waiting on the side, had its eyes blink and then flash into a straight line.
She was completely disheveled and extremely hungry. Yesterday she was just too tired to eat anything. After drinking a nutritional supplement this morning, she felt like her stomach was a bottomless pit, and she was cramping with hunger.
Without hesitation, he finished off the food meant for both her and Senran before he was finally satisfied.
Senran immediately ran to the kitchen to heat up a few more buns for Lin Yiran to take on the road, and then drove Lin Yiran to the addresses of several shops he had chosen earlier.
I have no classes this morning, so I can take this opportunity to check out the store's foot traffic.
Senran led Lin Yiran to the first shop, which was located in the city center, facing the intersection, with a large flow of people. Moreover, it was backed by a large shopping mall, so there was no need to worry about the flow of people.
Lin stayed there for a short while and found that although there was a lot of foot traffic, not many customers were willing to go into the store to buy things.
This one can be skipped.
The second shop is in this mall, but the rent is a bit expensive because there are many buyers, and the rent is 50 million a month.
Lin Yiran decisively passed on the deal after seeing the price.
Then we went to the third and fourth shops, one in the amusement park and the other near the pedestrian street.
In short, the shop that Lin Yiran wanted was not found.
After Senran Lin Yiran didn't find a suitable place, he recommended another location to her. This location was not within Lin Yiran's planning scope, so he didn't mention it in the first place.
"It's across from a kindergarten, which is a mid-level employee kindergarten. The children there are mostly children of federal military dependents or parents who are both working. The shop has a good location, and it caters to people who like cakes. Would you like to take a look?"
Lin Yiran's eyes lit up: "Let's go take a look?"
When they arrived at the location, it was indeed as Senran had said. The location was excellent; the shop's sign could be seen from all four street corners, and it was diagonally opposite the school gate. If she decorated the shop a little cuter, it would be very popular with children.
There was a lot of foot traffic; parents were picking up their children everywhere. Their cars were parked outside, and they walked together in twos and threes, shopping while waiting to pick up their kids.
Lin Yiran took a quick look around and found that the area had everything from baby stores and restaurants to clothing stores, beauty salons, toy stores, and more.
Almost everyone in the StarCraft world loves cake, so there used to be two cake shops on this street alone.
The competition is quite fierce.
Senran noticed Lin Yiran's worries and said directly, "You can rest assured about that. I've tasted them, and neither of those two cake shops' cakes taste as good as yours. Taste is everything; you won't have to worry about not being able to sell your cakes."
Lin Yiran nodded. These two cakes were from the same brand, and she had tried them before; the taste was indeed not very good, too sweet.
It's sickeningly sweet.
Lin Yiran's cakes emphasize health and deliciousness, and don't need to be too sweet. Too much sugar can make people sick, and she doesn't like sweets.
A normal level of sweetness is fine.
However, Lin was still very curious about one thing: "Why is no one renting such a good shop?" Logically speaking, such a good location should have been rented by someone else long ago, and even opening a small supermarket would be profitable.
Senran said, "I've inquired. This shop was just put up for lease. The owner is going on an interstellar trip and doesn't need the shop anymore, so they're subletting it for two years. They're in a hurry to rent it out, which is why it hasn't been rented out yet. We can take over this shop first, establish our cake shop's brand, and then relocate the shop to another location later."
Lin Yiran: "Two years, that's certainly possible. Two years is not a short time."
So she decisively decided, "This one will do. Let's rent it quickly, get everything ready, and open for business!"
The Starry Cake Shop doesn't require a chef's certificate; she can apply for one using her school certificate.
Only after getting this matter settled and earning money could Lin Yiran finally feel at ease.
The restaurant on the Eighth Star System is now operating at a loss, relying entirely on the two shops on the Ninth Star System to keep it afloat.
But how long can that last?
Human resources, materials, and rent—all of these cost money.
She couldn't just sit around and squander her meager family fortune.
Senran nodded, turned around and operated the Star Brain for a while, and rented the shop.
Lin Yiran turned to him with a smile and said, "I'll allocate the funds to you, so the decoration of this shop is your responsibility. I'll send you the shop plans later."
Senran nodded and replied, "Okay."
However, he immediately added, "Kids like animals or things with personality. I think we could print some cute designs on our cupcake liners; that would be more appealing to them."
Lin Yiran understood immediately after Senran mentioned it. She nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it your way. I'll design the blueprints."
