Chapter 110: Catch Dolls
Gu Muruan and Li Qihan told each other the address, and soon they arrived at the dessert shop which was still under renovation.
Li Qihan took a look and found the interior quite nice. The main color of the store was pure white, giving it a fresh and elegant feel. The walls were adorned with a few pink decorations, adding a touch of liveliness and romance.
Gu Muruan also showed Li Qihan the special feature of the row of seats against the wall. These seats are for customers who come to consume alone. There is a touch-screen electronic screen on the wall. Customers can write what they want to say or their wishes on the screen while waiting. After writing, they press the send button and their words will be projected onto the starry sky screen above their heads.
Li Qihan found it very interesting. It was the first time he had seen such an operation.
"This is something I've seen in those milk tea shops before, but one wall is filled with handwritten notes on sticky notes, and then stuck on. It's just a modification here." Gu Muruan felt that this would be more convenient. She wouldn't have to worry about children scribbling on the wall with pens, nor would she have to worry about the sticky notes not being firmly attached and falling onto the food. Most importantly, this was developed by Gu Moci's company. She would try it first, and Gu Moci generously sponsored it!
"Let's go to the mall next door and have a look. I'll give you a gift for opening a store." Li Qi Han looked at Gu Muruan.
"Opening gift?" Gu Muran had heard of opening gifts before, but this was the first time she heard of it.
"After eating the cakes and cookies, I have to show my support for the dessert shop." Li Qihan said seriously. In fact, he didn't know what was going on. He just wanted to find a reason to give Gu Muran something.
Seeing that it was still early, Gu Muruan agreed to his request. They would decide whether to buy or not later. It would be nice to go shopping and see if there were any small things that could be purchased.
As soon as Gu Muruan entered the mall, she saw a boutique and wanted to go in. When the two of them walked in, Gu Muruan regretted it: the items were quite exquisite, and the prices were quite scary!
Li Qihan took a fancy to a lucky cat waving on a shelf and asked Gu Muruan to choose a color.
Gu Munuan: I remember that all the boutiques in Q County were two-yuan stores? Can someone explain why this lucky cat, similar to the one displayed by the milk tea shop owner, costs four figures?
"No, that's not necessary?" Gu Muruan felt that it was indeed a bit expensive, but Li Qihan insisted on giving it to her, saying that it was for good luck and to bring in wealth.
Gu Muruan: ...
In the end, Li Qihan picked a light pink one, which matched her store very well.
Just as Gu Muruan was about to leave the store, Li Qihan pointed to a pile of dolls and asked her to look at them: "I think putting these in the store can also attract customers."
Gu Muruan: "That's a good idea, but you can just find a claw machine and catch a few. You don't have to spend so much money on it."
Li Qihan: "Want to play the claw machine? I'll go play it later, but those are probably small ones. When the store first opens, you can give them to customers as gifts. You can just put these in the store after you buy them."
Gu Munuan: No, big brother, how many are you going to grab? How many can you grab if you empty the entire claw machine? And give it to the customers?
Li Qihan didn't even look at the price. He gave the address and asked the clerk to deliver the five plush toys he had selected directly to the store. The store was supervised by a person in charge sent by Gu Moci.
Gu Muran wanted to stop it but to no avail.
"It's your first time opening a store, so it's definitely not a bad idea to prepare more." This was Li Qihan's way of rejecting Gu Muran's attempt to stop him.
As a result, Li Qihan bought her all the sticky notes, markers, and small ornaments.
Finally coming out of the boutique, Li Qihan actually saw the claw machines in the arcade on the first floor. Li Qihan bought half a basket of game coins.
Gu Mu Nuan: "Have you ever caught this?"
"No." Li Qihan was very clear and decisive. "What about you?"
"I don't have one either, uh... I heard that catching this requires skill." Gu Muran also wanted to try it, but just try it. He felt that Li Qihan bought too many coins and it would definitely be wasted.
But Li Qihan seemed to have no idea of the power of the claw machine and was full of confidence.
Sure enough, the two tried three times but failed to catch any. Gu Muruan gave up, and Li Qihan seemed to have found the pattern. After two failed attempts, he finally succeeded.
Gu Muran was very excited, after all, she had always seen others catch a lot before.
Finally, after all the coins were caught, Gu Muran could no longer hold them and had to put them on a chair beside her.
Li Qihan bought two big bags, put all the dolls in them, and went to the underground parking lot with Gu Muruan, carrying them each.
Gu Muruan: "Now it seems like it can really be used as a gift."
"Should we leave it at the dessert shop or take it home?" Li Qihan asked her.
Gu Muran thought for a moment and said, "Let's put it in the dessert shop." However, she still took out a kitten doll and took it home. She had been staring at it for a long time before Li Qihan caught it.
Half an afternoon passed unnoticed. When the two returned home, Gu Moci had already returned from the company. After learning where the two had been that afternoon, for some reason, he suddenly felt a little displeased with his brother, who had always been on good terms with him...
As Li Qihan said, the elders of the Li family stayed at the Gu family for dinner.
At the dining table, as soon as Gu Muruan sat down next to her mother, Gu Moci sat next to his sister, and then asked Li Qihan to sit in the seat next to him.
Li Qihan: Why do you act like I'm trying to take your place?
There weren't so many rules at the Gu family's dining table, especially since it was a gathering of two old friends. The atmosphere was joyful, with everyone talking and laughing, and it was quite lively.
As usual, the two old men reminisced about the past, drank some wine, and enjoyed their happy life now.
After dinner, the Li family said goodbye. Before leaving, Li Qihan did not forget his cookies.
Li's mother and Gu Moci: Something is wrong, this is very wrong.
On the way back, Li Qihan was driving, Old Man Li was sitting in the passenger seat, Father Li had drunk a little too much and was sitting in the back row, while Mother Li and Grandma Li were sitting in the middle.
Li's mother couldn't help but lean forward and look at her son: "Qi Han, are you...?"
Li's mother only said half of her words.
