Sweeping away the heat
The cozy stall in the military training camp is now open!
The summer-sweeping stall opens today!
Do you want to replenish your water? Do you want to take a break from the scorching summer heat? Do you want a popsicle when you're tired?
Just go to the playground and you’ll find it all!
Jian Jianan and several of his roommates opened their stall quietly the day after they had agreed.
It hadn't even been two days since everyone arrived at the school, and they hadn't even gotten to know everyone in the dormitory yet, and hadn't even matched all their names and faces. However, Jian Jianan and her roommates had already not only gotten to know everyone but had also organized everyone together and were working together to set up a small stall.
This small stall looks well-organized and presentable. I have to say that there must be someone inside who can command everyone to take the overall situation into consideration.
Jian Jianan had no idea what everyone was thinking or thinking about her. She was desperately trying to sell her wares at her stall. Whenever she passed someone, she'd shout, "Classmate! Classmate, why don't you come in and try some? We have all the latest snacks here. Military training is so grueling, don't you really want to treat yourself with some drinks and popsicles?"
After hearing this, few people would not be tempted. Students who were already hesitant and a little tempted would be even more hesitant after hearing the sales pitch.
Apart from her, the other three roommates also have their own duties and tasks to complete.
Zhang Yezi naturally stood at the front, responsible for collecting money, making change, and all kinds of money calculation work.
There is no need to take out paper, pen or abacus. Just by thinking about it in his mind, Zhang Yezi can calculate how much money he should pay or how much change he should get back without thinking.
"A piece of watermelon is one dollar and two cents, and two iced soy milks are eighty cents, that's one dollar and eighty-two cents in total. You gave us two dollars, so we should give you one dollar and eighteen cents in change. Here, take it!"
Ding Ran was moving around, and would go and put the goods where she saw that they were out of stock or not enough. She took out various iced drinks that were freshly chilled and still steaming from the basket and placed them on the stall set up by the four of them.
Not only did he simply arrange the items, Ding Ran also racked his brains to come up with new ideas. He placed the best-selling Beibingyang soda in the front, and the ice watermelon on top of the green leaves, hoping to attract more people and get everyone to buy.
The last one, Chen Muya, has the easiest job. She only needs to be responsible for one job, which is eating.
While the other three people were busy in the stall, she stood beside the stall, holding one-eighth of the watermelon in her hand and nibbling it in small bites.
This is also the method that Jian Jianan came up with.
Heaven and earth are my conscience! Chen Muya herself is not spoiled to such an extent that she doesn't want to help her partner when he is busy.
She felt really bad and wanted to help, but her intentions were good and things just kept going wrong.
Either she kept breaking some small corner while setting up the stall, or she broke a few bottles of soy milk while moving boxes because she didn't have enough strength.
Therefore, in the end, Jian Jianan and the other two reached a consensus, and Chen Muya's presence on the sidelines was the biggest help.
However, Jian Jianan soon discovered that Chen Muya could still play a role.
For example, she can stimulate everyone's appetite to the greatest extent, and it is such a pleasure to watch her eat!
For example, now, when Chen Muya saw Jian Jianan neatly dividing a large watermelon into two and then into four pieces, her eyes lit up and she kept staring at her movements.
When Jian Jianan finished cutting the watermelon and handed the reddest and juiciest piece to Chen Muya, her joy reached its peak.
You know, if it was at home, Chen Muya would not be happy with this ordinary piece of watermelon! She wouldn't even look at it, how could she be so fond of it like she is now?
She had everything she wanted at home, so what kind of fruit could she want? Not to mention the various rare fruits from China, even rare fruits from abroad, such as dragon fruit, snake skin fruit, or palm fruit, would appear on her coffee table from time to time, hoping to win the favor of her master.
But now, this is in school, not at their home, and the nearest place to buy fruit is in the fruit shop on the snack street outside.
After being exposed to the sun for eight hours, Chen Muya finally felt that she was only holding on with her extraordinary willpower. She even had an illusion that all the moisture in her body had been evaporated by the sun.
When he thought of this, he recalled the scene of everyone going to the snack street to purchase goods and then working hard to carry them back. When he put them down, several of his fingers turned red, and Chen Muya felt dizzy. The more he looked at the watermelon in his hand, the sweeter and more juicy it seemed.
Jian Jianan found it funny. The way Chen Muya took the watermelon and started to eat it was just like some small rodent.
Her eyes are full of desire, her movements are so passionate, and her expression is so satisfied.
With such a living sign standing here, which freshmen who are undergoing military training during the day like Chen Muya would not be tempted?
But you can't just pay for it just by seeing Chen Muya standing here eating watermelon!
Although Chen Muya seemed to be eating and drinking while standing, without any practical effect, the effect she had was huge!
Even Zhang Yezi, the most unkind person who always had a problem with Chen Muya's spoiled personality, would give her another bottle of soy milk when she passed by, put a straw in it, and say lovingly, "Come on, have another bottle."
Chen Muya struggled: "No, no, no! Ugh! I can't drink anymore! Take it away quickly, take it away! Dormitory leader, I really can't drink anymore! My stomach is already full, I can't drink any more!"
Zhang Yezi didn't want Chen Muya to escape, so he put the straw closer to Chen Muya's lips, almost poking her nostrils.
Chen Muya couldn't refuse the kindness, so she had to take two bites of watermelon, then take two sips of soy milk, stand there for a while and repeat the above actions.
So, after some calculations, Jian Jianan discovered that soy milk had become one of the best-selling products that people were buying.
Chen Muya has made great contributions to boosting sales.
In this way, everyone in Dormitory 302 started to work like the indispensable precision gears on a machine.
The four of them have been busy since the military training ended at 5:30 until now, and have not even had a bite of food.
Nearly two hours later, most of the goods on the "Sweeping the Summer Heat" stall were sold out, but people still came one after another, probably because they heard recommendations from others.
One of the girls saw that there was only one watermelon left. She figured that the whole dormitory could probably finish it all, so she said to Ding Ran, "Give me a watermelon. I'll take it all!"
But Jian Jianan refused, "I'm sorry, classmate, we want to keep this watermelon for ourselves and won't sell it."
The female classmate had to leave with regret.
Jian Jianan and his three companions packed up their things, dismantled the stall they had set up, and took it back to the dormitory together.
As soon as we got back to the dormitory and put our things away, everyone pounced on the leftover food like hungry tigers.
Watermelon, soy milk, and soda.
Except for Chen Muya, the other three were eating and drinking and couldn't even speak.
Only Chen Muya didn't feel thirsty at the moment because she had been eating and drinking all day and the watermelon juice alone was enough to fill her stomach.
Zhang Yezi stared blankly at a point in the void, not knowing what he was thinking.
She used to be too naive, always thinking that working was an easy thing. When she came out of the mountains, she must find three or four jobs in school, or even five jobs a day!
But now that she had experienced it herself, she realized how tiring the job was. After just two hours, she felt like she couldn't hold on any longer.
Moreover, the one who was most tired was not himself, but Jian Jianan, who undertook most of the preliminary research work.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yezi looked at Jian Jianan.
But I found that he didn't look tired at all. Instead, he looked energetic and refreshed. After eating and drinking enough to replenish his energy, he took out a small notebook he carried with him and started writing and drawing on it.
"What are you writing, Nannan?" Ding Ran came over curiously.
Ding Ran was persuaded to join the group by Jian Jianan's suggestion that "practical activities can help you gain experience and even earn extra credits!" Today, while setting up her stall, she even brought her own notebook to record her insights and see what economics knowledge she was applying.
But only time can reveal true knowledge. After a few hours today, Ding Ran realized how idealistic his previous ideas were.
Not to mention writing down notes all the time, I didn't even have the energy to pick up a pen to write or use my brain. I was drowned in the repetitive mechanical work of cutting watermelon and arranging drinks, and I couldn't think of anything else at all.
But how come Jian Jianan doesn’t feel tired at all?
The four of them had obviously participated in military training and set up a stall together. Even Chen Muya, who had been standing to eat and drink and consumed the least energy, was now lying on a chair with a lot of empty space.
She, on the other hand, was like a perpetual motion machine. She had just filled her stomach when she started counting the money on her abacus.
"Me? I'm doing the accounting! Today's accounts are done today! There are still tomorrow's accounts to be settled! I think the results of everyone's work on the first day are still very important, we need to calculate them quickly!"
Upon hearing this, not to mention Zhang Yezi and Ding Ran, even Chen Muya, whose family could buy ten small stalls with just a few drops of liquor leaked from between their fingers, looked over with interest.
They all wanted to know how much they could achieve from two hours of work tonight!
Jian Jianan quickly calculated, "Watermelon, popsicles, and various drinks! The purchase cost was over seventy, and I got back a total of one hundred and twenty-seven!"
Earn fifty dollars!
Ding Ran muttered to himself, "In two hours, I earned a quarter of my parents' monthly salary. It's no wonder people would quit their jobs to start a business. It turns out they're not crazy, they do it because it's really profitable!"
Jian Jianan was proud. She knew how profitable this was since she started setting up a stall as a child.
After looking at the various expressions of the people around him, Jian Jianan deliberately asked, "How is it? Do we still want to continue? Will we set up the stall tomorrow?"
Everyone who is complaining about back pain, tiredness and suffering, look at the stimulation of money!
As expected, under the stimulation of money, the people who had just been complaining suddenly became speechless.
Jian Jianan deliberately repeated the question: "What? Do you want to continue tomorrow? If you are too tired tonight and feel it is too hard, you can quit. You don't have to continue working hard to set up the stall tomorrow."
"No! No, no, no! I won't quit!" Chen Muya shouted. It was really unexpected that she would be the first person to speak.
Um?
Could it be that the temptation of money is really so great that even Chen Muya, who comes from the best-off family and is the most spoiled, can't resist it?
Chen Muya thought that she didn't lack this little money, but this little money was different!
Although this amount of money is small, and is not even as much as Chen Muya’s daily pocket money, but, this money was earned by herself bit by bit!
This is all hard-earned money from my own efforts!
Looking at Ding Ran, she was also very excited.
Although her family has two full professors and they don't have to worry about living expenses, she has never done this kind of stall work. It is like playing house when she was a child. Although it is tiring, the sense of accomplishment immediately overwhelms the tiredness and turns into surprise and high morale.
"Go away! We have to continue tomorrow. Isn't it just a little tiring and a little hard? Compared to the knowledge we gain from practice, what does that mean?"
Ding Ran was very enthusiastic. Even if it wasn't for that little bit of money, he could write this little bit of practice into the class assignments when school officially starts and treat it as his own short essay. What a great thing!
Jian Jianan nodded with satisfaction. Just as he expected, his roommates all liked setting up stalls to do business, and no one objected.
That's good, now she can implement her next plan.
Jian Jianan paced around in the small dormitory. While no one was paying attention and they were not on guard against her, she took money out of everyone's hands smoothly and effortlessly.
"Come on, give me your money, one by one. I'll put it to great use!"
ah?
What is this doing.
Chen Muya reacted the most. She hadn't even warmed up her hard-earned money yet, how come Jian Jianan took it away one by one?
She didn't plan to spend any of the money and even planned to frame it at home as a small souvenir of her first stall-selling career.
Jian Jiannan said confidently: "Do you know what is the most important thing for a company?"
"Yeah?"
"Money is money. Or let's put it another way, cash flow."
"Cash flow is very important, sisters!"
Jian Jianan cleared his throat and prepared to use his eloquence to persuade his roommates.
"Sisters, our victory in our first battle is certainly something worth celebrating, but the ten-day military training is far from over. We still have important things to do!"
"In the next few days, if we want to make our stall flourish and become better and better, we must keep making progress and be proactive, instead of just sitting there like we are now. If we remain complacent, our stall will only get worse and worse, and we will only bring about our own destruction!"
Chen Muya raised her hand weakly.
Jian Jianan: "Tell me, classmate, what questions do you have?"
Chen Muya: "But...but even if we don't make progress, the stall will disappear."
"Well, why?" Jian Jianan cast a sharp look at Chen Muya. "Don't destroy your own ambition and give others the prestige! We must have confidence, confidence, you know?!"
Chen Muya's voice became lower and lower as she spoke: "Because, because our military training will end in five days, and by then the stall will definitely be closed."
Jian Jianan: "..."
Oh, sorry, she accidentally forgot that.
She turned away and smoothly changed the subject, pretending the incident hadn't happened, returning to her previous impassioned speech: "In short! We need innovation; innovation is the driving force of development. The merchandise we currently carry on our stalls no longer meets the shopping needs of the vast majority of new military trainees. We need to innovate and understand consumer psychology!"
Zhang Yezi understood, "You want to... buy more goods?"
Jian Jianan nodded: "Yes, that's what I want to say. We need to not only purchase goods, but also purchase a wider variety of goods! Otherwise, if we don't have other products on the first day, no one will come soon!"
Jian Jianan waved the change in his hand and said, "We agreed at the beginning that we would wait until the end of the stall before calculating everyone's profits. So, I'll take this money first. Our goods for tomorrow depend on this money!"
The roommates all understood what Jian Jianan meant. Since these things had been agreed upon long ago, they naturally had no way of objecting and nodded in agreement.
But, Nan Nan was so passionate that people who didn't know the inside story would think she was talking about a big company business involving hundreds of employees, and would never think that this was just a small stall with a daily turnover of no more than four figures.
Jian Jianan smiled slightly, "Okay, then let's divide the work!"
Zhang Yezi volunteered: "I'll go bargain! When I was in my hometown, anyone from the surrounding villages who wanted to go to the market would definitely take me with them, because I'm an excellent bargainer!"
She's a great bargainer!
Ding Ran pondered, "I can keep an eye on the value of the goods. I've heard my mother talk about this since I was a child. She said some bosses are really mean. Sometimes, even though you've chosen a price on the spot, they can suddenly switch it up and replace it with an inferior product, leaving you speechless and unable to say anything about your suffering!"
"Yeah, sure, sure!"
What about the other person? Why hasn't she spoken yet?
The eyes of Jian Jianan and the other two turned to Chen Muya, focusing on her like a searchlight.
Chen Muya was silent for a while: "Uh...uh...I'll go help you move your things!"
Ding Ran was so frightened that he screamed, "What! Moving things? No, no, you don't need to help us move things! We can figure it out on our own!"
Chen Muya was very unconvinced, "What are you doing? Don't underestimate me!"
Jian Jianan pondered for a while, then waved her hand to indicate that it was okay and she had a solution.
Jian Jianan smiled: "Everything depends on me!"
The next night, Zhang Yezi and Ding Ran bargained for a long time at the door of the convenience store where they purchased goods, and finally agreed with the owner at the lowest price. The two thought about it, and Zhang Yezi said that he had to go back and see how the stall was set up, so he left first and asked Ding Ran to stay here and transport the goods over.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yezi only saw Jian Jianan by the stall, and didn't even see Chen Muya's shadow.
Zhang Ye Zi: "Where is she?"
Jian Jianan said calmly: "I went to help."
Zhang Ye Zi: "Are you really confident in letting her go alone?"
Jian Jianan: "What's the big deal? Children have to grow up eventually!"
Zhang Ye Zi: “…”
Well, she wanted to see what Chen Muya would look like when she grew up.
After waiting for a few minutes, the things were moved in from the school gate. Zhang Yezi originally wanted to ask Jian Jianan if they really didn't need help, but seeing Jian Jianan so calm and composed, she couldn't bring herself to ask.
Unexpectedly, three minutes later, she saw Chen Muya holding his head high and pushing a small cart to the stall.
"What's going on with you? Where did you borrow the cart from?" Zhang Yezi asked seriously.
"Hmph." Chen Muya hummed twice, and then when Zhang Ye continued to ask, she said, "This is a good thing that Nannan borrowed from the boss for me! With this cart, we don't have to worry about how to move things from the snack street to our own stall, and it will be very convenient when we restock later."
So that's how it is. That's what she said. With Chen Muya's clumsy habit, if she was asked to help move things, all the things would be eaten up by Chen Muya alone before they even started selling them.
No wonder Jianan was so confident last night when he said he wanted Chen Muya to help, as if everything was under his control.
It turns out that Jian Jianan had already figured out how to ask Chen Muya for help, and even went to borrow this cart from the boss!
The four girls were all standing in place, and then they all went about their own business. With their concerted efforts, the small stall was quickly set up again in just a few minutes.
Tonight's business is better than the first day's. Their style of doing things is much bolder than the first day. Under Jian Jianan's instigation and leadership, they bought a lot of things. In addition to yesterday's regular items: mineral water, ice watermelon and various ice creams, they also bought some snacks.
Chen Muya was helpful at this point. She said, "Let's get some local snacks. For example, Nannan, you can get some fresh dried fish from Guangdong, and Ye Zi, you can get some dried steamed buns from Shanxi. I'll buy some spicy noodles. After all, it's the first time for us college students to be so far away from home. It's natural to miss home. Besides, military training is so arduous. Do you think there's any student who wouldn't cry secretly under the covers at night after a day of military training?"
Jian Jianan suddenly looked at Chen Muya with admiration and asked her, how do you understand everyone's psychology so clearly?
Chen Muya chuckled and revealed the answer to everyone.
"Because that's what I thought."
Jian Jianan: "..."
So that's how it is. It's really a simple and unpretentious technique.
There is no need to elaborate on the situation of their stall today. Today's goods are several times more than yesterday, but everyone was busy for only two hours, which means it took about the same time as yesterday to finish and close the stall perfectly.
"There will be more people coming today!" Chen Muya was unable to help much in the process of setting up the stall, so she ate and drank nearby like she did yesterday to attract customers, so that she could observe more carefully.
"Yeah, yeah, I noticed that too. I think the number of people here today is at least twice as many as yesterday! And have you noticed that there are a lot of adults besides students?" For example, instructors and school teachers, how come even they come to patronize the Hengsao Summer Food stall?!
Really famous?
Jian Jianan smiled and said, "That's normal. Think about it, yesterday was our first day setting up the stall, and maybe not many people knew about it. But after all day and afternoon of word of mouth and the spread of news, more and more people will know about the existence of this stall called Hengsao Shuqi. It's not surprising that people choose to patronize us!"
Jian Jianan knew that what she had to do at this time was to continue to boost morale and let everyone maintain their confidence in their ability to sweep the summer stall.
"We still have four days of fighting to do. Everyone, cheer up and take a breath. If we can get through these four days together, we will be liberated!"
But what Jian Jianan didn't expect was that the next four days would not be easy to get through.
The next day, Jian Jianan received a shocking news.
"Nannan, did you know? Our summer-sweeping stall is going to have a competitor!"
This sentence was told to Jian Jianan by Chen Muya. She is simply a know-it-all!
Chen Muya talks a lot and likes to talk, so she often looks for people to chat with, even when she is standing at attention.
When everyone held the same position for more than ten minutes, Chen Muya would feel her mouth dry. Her way of dealing with this dryness was to strike up a conversation with the students around her. Even if they ignored her, she would continue to talk, but in a very low voice, so she never got caught by the instructor.
Chen Muya now told Jian Jianan with a serious face: "This news was told to me by a new friend of mine. It's very credible because the protagonist in it is one of his relatives. The idea of setting up a small stall during military training is not ours. Someone else had planned and realized it before."
Jian Jianan immediately understood, "I know, I know, it's the senior from the previous class!"
You don’t have to believe it, even this news was inspired by Jian Jianan from the process of his seniors from the previous class doing the same thing. If you really want to trace it back, they are still the muses of Jian Jianan’s inspiration for setting up a stall.
"Don't worry. Let me go and see what's going on."
After receiving the news, Jian Jianan did not panic like the other roommates. Instead, he decided to go and see who the so-called competitor was. Maybe they could cooperate with each other and did not need to become rivals fighting to the death.
Jian Jianan ran to the place where they used to set up their stall and found that another large tent had been set up next to their stall. This stall was twice as big as the one that swept through the summer heat. No wonder Chen Muya was so nervous, because this was indeed a more difficult competitor to deal with.
Jian Jianan seized the opportunity to chat with a man who was directing the tent setting up nearby, "Senior, what are you doing?"
When asking the question, Jian Jianan pointed to the stall next to him and said, "Our stall is next to it. Let me ask our neighbor if he needs any help."
The senior was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Hahahaha, it's you guys! Lao Wang called me and said that our freshmen from military training inherited our spirit and were also setting up stalls during training. I was a little skeptical, but when I came here today, I realized it! It's true that every generation has its own talented people, and each generation is better than the last!"
Jian Jianan's eyes lit up, and she quickly realized the identity of the senior in front of her. She asked in surprise, "Ah? So it seems that you are the legend from the previous class, the one who was said to have a very good business sense during military training?"
"Yeah, yeah, that's me," the senior admitted readily. He immediately added, "You're not just here to see if there's anything I can do for you, are you also here to check out our competitors?"
Jian Jianan's thoughts were quickly exposed by him. Without any shyness, he admitted it, "Yes, yes, that's true. But this is also a necessary step for those of us who run small stalls."
"That's true." The senior didn't look angry. Instead, he took a step back and told Jian Jianan directly, "Don't worry, junior sister. I'm not here to steal your business. Look at what's on my stall. They're all quilts and thick clothes. I figured the new students wouldn't be familiar with these places when they first arrived, and some students who live far away might not have prepared everything. They don't know how cold it is in Beijing in the winter. Now that they're on campus, they don't know where to buy anything. I might as well provide them with a channel now."
Jian Jianan's eyes lit up, and he agreed, "Indeed, indeed. Even if the students wanted to buy quilts, they wouldn't know where to go right now. And since you're selling winter clothes in school, the students will most likely buy from you out of trust in their seniors."
Jian Jianan got the information she wanted and was completely relieved after knowing that this wasn't a competitor. "Okay, then, I'll be here to wish you a prosperous business and a lot of money! But what I said before still counts. We've been here a few days longer than you. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask us. We'll definitely help you out if we can!"
"Xiaojie, you are so open-minded. Senior, I am here to wish you a prosperous business!"
So under the night sky, the two hands were clasped together, the senior and junior looked at each other and laughed together. They clasped their hands tightly, their expressions firm, like the CEOs of two large companies who had reached a consensus.
"Done." Jian Jianan returned to his stall that swept away the summer heat and said this to Chen Muya lightly, earning the same admiring looks from the three people.
It was amazing! They had originally thought that this was a rivalry, and that a bloody dispute would sooner or later arise between their two stalls. Unexpectedly, Jian Jianan resolved the matter with just a few words. She was truly amazing!
How did Jian Jianan do it!
Facing the three people's admiring gazes, Jian Jianan simply said lightly: "Hey, what's the big deal? It's just a few words. I convinced them with reason, and they naturally admitted defeat."
The competitor's blunder was easily resolved. With only two days left, Jian Jianan originally thought she could get through it safely. However, during the daytime military training on the second day, she suddenly discovered that she seemed to be... targeted by some instructors?
It shouldn’t be my illusion!
At the beginning of today's military training, the regiment commander who had been supervising all the instructors suddenly walked into their class formation for some unknown reason. He didn't stop, but instead stared at Jian Jianan and specifically pulled her out to ask, "Are you the one who started the stall that swept away the summer heat?"
Jian Jianan nodded and continued, "Little girl, do you know that you're famous now? Your stall that swept the summer heat is famous in the school. Everyone is very curious about you, a little yellow-haired girl! You didn't even do military training, but instead spent all your energy on various unconventional ways to make money. You must have a lot of energy! Then, when everyone else is running five laps, you can run ten laps. I want to ask you, can you do it?"
Jian Jianan keenly sensed the instructor's dislike for her. Just when she was silent, the instructor of her class noticed the dispute in this small corner and immediately came over to help.
"Hey, Lao Li, what are you doing? Are you bullying the little girl?"
The instructor of Jian Jianan's class came over and immediately linked arms with Old Li. He patted Old Li's shoulder so hard that he staggered. Then he smiled and said, "Hey, Old Li, you haven't been to college, so you don't know. Kids these days are so smart! And the academic requirements are so high. They're not just bookworms. Their teachers always require them to combine practice with theory in class. Look at this little stall. Isn't that their practical homework?"
The instructor gave Jian Jianan a look, and Jian Jianan immediately followed suit, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, yes, we are students of the business school, and our homework is not just about studying in class. If we don't get in touch with real social situations and do some social practice, we won't know how these business links are circulated. So, we set up a small stall in our spare time. On the one hand, we want to provide some convenience for everyone, and on the other hand, we want to combine theory with practice and see where the theories we learned can be applied. This will also help us better understand the theoretical knowledge in the textbooks!"
After these words, Instructor Li was finally persuaded. His expression relaxed a little, he snorted, looked up and down at Jian Jianan, snorted, and left.
Shouldn't I have to run ten laps again? Jian Jianan thought uncertainly.
Their class instructor came over and told Jian Jianan, "Jian Jianan, you don't know that your stall that swept the summer heat is now very conspicuous. Even our instructors will say a few words about you behind your back."
Jian Jianan knew this. At their stall called Hengsao Xiaqi, instructors wearing camouflage training uniforms were often seen coming to buy food.
She thought for a moment, it seemed that it was too conspicuous. When everyone had just entered the school for military training, they were all groping for things one by one, but they all acted quickly to set up the stalls. It was so lively every night, so naturally it attracted everyone's attention. People talked about it and had different opinions about this stall that swept away the summer heat.
Not only people outside, but even Jian Jianan's startup partners were worried about this.
Ding Ran was a little worried: "Do all the instructors think so? Then what is our school's attitude towards small stalls? Will the school think we are not doing our job properly and punish us after school starts?"
Although Zhang Yezi and Chen Muya didn't say it, they also had this worry in their hearts. After all, they had been well-behaved girls for the past 18 years and dared not step out of line. Although they were now in partnership with Jian Jianan to set up a stall under her instigation and persuasion, they could not hold on when they encountered any difficulties.
Jian Jianan answered very confidently: "No, no, don't worry, the school won't do anything to us. Don't worry, I have carefully read the school rules and regulations. How can setting up a stall on campus during military training be considered a violation of school regulations? Even if the school wants to deduct credits, they can't find the corresponding system and regulations!"
Every failure makes one wiser, and Jian Jianan had already made full preparations.
Things turned out just as Jian Jianan said. On the last day of military training, in the evening, the small stall selling "Sweeping Away the Summer Heat" was set up as usual.
Suddenly, an old man walked over slowly. Jian Jianan originally thought that he was a customer who wanted to spend money like the previous customers, so he asked him what he wanted to buy.
This old man was very different. He asked the prices of all the goods one by one, but he had no intention of paying for the goods. Instead, he asked more detailed and in-depth questions, and even asked Jian Jianan about the sales data and which one was the best-selling one. After Jian Jianan said that the best-selling one was popsicle, the old man continued to ask, asking Jian Jianan if he knew why this item was the best-selling one.
Jian Jianan replied that it was because they grasped the psychology of consumers, and popsicles were the cheapest, so it was not surprising that they sold the best.
Jian Jianan always had a strange feeling when he was asking and answering questions with the old man. He felt that the old man was not here to consume, but was teaching his students like a teacher.
Jian Jianan's feeling was not wrong. After asking a lot of questions, the old man finally left with satisfaction. Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to buy their best-selling item - a popsicle - under Jian Jianan's hard sales.
Just as Jian Jianan was staring blankly at the direction the old man had left, the senior student next door suddenly came over. He poked Jian Jianan's hand and said in shock, "What? The dean is here!"
"Dean? That old man is the dean? What college is he from?"
The senior waved his hand and said, "It's the dean of our business school! It seems that today is Friday, and the teachers have already returned to school early to prepare for the start of the semester!"
Jian Jianan looked in the direction where the dean left, and recalled the questions he asked. His heart suddenly calmed down. It seemed that the problem that the other three friends were worried about had now been solved!
When Jian Jianan returned to school, he told his three friends that the Dean of the Business School was coming to buy things. They were not stupid and understood the idea immediately. They were very happy after hearing the news.
"That's great! Even the dean came to buy things, which means our school will definitely not do anything to us. Even if they don't support it, they won't oppose it!"

Jian Jianan was stunned by the question, nodded and said, "Yes, I set up a stall with my family when I was young, so I have experience."
It's just that she hasn't done this for a long time, and she thought she would be a little rusty at it, but it seems that she is still as good as ever!
Chen Muya understood.
I suddenly felt pity for him. No wonder Jian Jianan was so experienced. It turned out that his family conditions were so poor that he had to follow his parents to set up a stall!
It seems that I have to be nicer to Jian Jianan in the future!
