Chapter 84 [84] Do you think I, Tang Yuanyuan, am made of clay? ...
The snow was as white as cream, like clouds and also like cream. A dot of creamy light blue was dotted in the middle of the roof, and even the steps on the ground were made creamy white.
It looks like a small cake, ice cream, and a cloud.
The pure colors from the oil painting collide with the sweet metallic texture, creating a striking castle like a fairy tale book.
It's obvious who is more eye-catching.
It is the most unique scenery on this entire street.
Shen Yu was not the only one who asked this question. Professors, classmates, and passers-by who stopped by were all curious.
What kind of store is this?
cute.
dream.
Can't wait to try it.
But it’s not open yet.
Tang Yuanyuan said expressionlessly, "I'm not sure either."
"Really?" Shen Yu tilted his head, his voice trailing off in a magnetic way, filled with a sense of doubt and denial. For a moment, Tang Yuanyuan wondered if he might have guessed something. Then he added, "Background checks on competitors are also an important factor, something you should pay attention to."
Tang Yuanyuan felt relieved: "I remember it."
Liu Lijuan walked over in her high heels: "Mr. Shen, I'm so glad you can come. Please come in."
Shen Yu didn't move, but nodded slightly, glancing outside at Sweet. "Looks like he's doing pretty well. As a newcomer in the business world who's still a student, he has a lot of potential."
It was the first time Liu Lijuan had heard such praise from Shen Yu. She couldn't hide the pride and joy on her face: "Thank you for your affirmation. I'm so happy."
"Please come in and try our cakes."
Shen Yu raised his foot and went into the store.
Assistant Fan greeted Tang Yuanyuan with a smile: "Long time no see, it's only been a few months. I didn't expect you to be involved in an internship project even though you're only a freshman. You're worthy of being called Miss Tang."
Tang Yuanyuan was a little curious. Did Assistant Fan know what Shen Yu felt about her?
"I didn't expect you to come here with Mr. Shen. Did you come from headquarters together?"
Assistant Fan shook his head. "The high-end jewelry business is Mr. Shen's own business venture. It has nothing to do with the group. I am not involved in the group's business. Mr. Shen has a dedicated secretary at the headquarters."
No wonder she never saw Assistant Fan when she went to Shen’s headquarters.
Hearing what he said, he realized that he had entered this incubation project.
Doesn't he know that it was Shen Yu who specifically asked her to join this project?
Tang Yuanyuan considered for a moment and then asked tentatively, "What have you been busy with lately?"
Assistant Fan: "I've been on a business trip lately to expand the platinum business market in the south. I just got back the day before yesterday. Mr. Shen called me last night, and I just found out that you've started your internship on the project."
"Come on, I'll take you to try the cakes in our shop."
Tang Yuanyuan took Assistant Fan in for a look, picked up a piece of bread, and put it directly to Assistant Fan's mouth, watching Shen Yu's reaction from the corner of his eye: "Try it."
She had to make sure whether Assistant Fan knew about it. Deep down, Tang Yuanyuan regarded Assistant Fan as a good friend. What if he had known Shen Yu's thoughts for a long time but didn't say a word?
Then their friendship would come to an end.
Although this cake shop is only 60 square meters, the space is actually very limited. As expected, Shen Yu noticed this side and looked over across the void.
Tang Yuanyuan suddenly and forcefully put the cake into his mouth. Before Assistant Fan could react, he choked on his trachea and smiled as he held the bread in his mouth.
He didn't look in Shen Yu's direction.
It seems that he really doesn't know about this.
Tang Yuanyuan deliberately tilted her head and looked over provocatively. Shen Yu tore off a piece of bread and threw it into his mouth.
He chewed very slowly, his jaw line tense, as if he was chewing a person instead of bread.
Tang Yuanyuan knew that he was angry.
Inexplicably, her mood improved.
She deliberately picked up a small piece of cake and lowered her voice, "This is our shop's signature dish. You can't get it anywhere else. Try it."
Assistant Fan was so frightened that he choked on the bread and looked at Tang Yuanyuan. What was wrong with this guy?
Tang Yuanyuan seemed not to notice and continued to introduce the cake to him enthusiastically.
"This one is called Liuxin Sand. It's made with the best blueberry jam as the core, and mango as the filling. It's really delicious. Would you like to try it?"
She held the cake in her hand and handed it over, but a hand reached out and took it away from her fingertips.
Tang Yuanyuan tilted her head and saw Shen Yu putting the small piece of cake into his mouth and chewing it with big mouthfuls.
“Very sweet.”
Tang Yuanyuan regained her cold expression, took a step back, and watched without saying a word.
Shen Yu didn't let her go. He bent down slightly and pointed at another cake through the glass. "What's the filling on this one?"
Tang Yuanyuan could only speak and explain coldly.
Shen Yu took a step forward and looked at the cake, seeming to be genuinely interested in it. "What about this one?"
This position was originally close to the wall, so Tang Yuanyuan was forced to retreat to the corner.
She heard Shen Yu's ventriloquism: "Angry at me?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "This one has a strawberry jam core and is topped with some chopped nuts."
Shen Yu: "You have indeed achieved your goal. I am mad at you."
Tang Yuanyuan tilted her head provocatively and looked at him with a provocative look, clearly showing how bad she was. She was very happy about it.
Shen Yu took another small step inside and said tolerantly, "What should we do then?"
"My girlfriend seduced my assistant just to piss me off. To protect my baby, I had no choice but to stay close to her and never leave her side."
The smile on Tang Yuanyuan's face faded, "Who is your baby!"
It was Shen Yu's turn to smile: "You."
Tang Yuanyuan: "We are fake."
"It seems fake to you." Shen Yu straightened up, and as he turned on his toes, he spoke each word clearly into her ears: "In my heart, you are the most important treasure."
The sound was fleeting, like snow ironing the earlobes, stirring up a chill. Shen Yu had already left lightly, making people wonder if it was an illusion, but the echoes were clearly in the earlobes again.
Old men who have had fiancées are indeed very good at teasing.
Tang Yuanyuan lost this round again.
I feel very unwilling.
But it was obvious that she could no longer seduce Assistant Fan openly, otherwise, he would come to tease her.
Stuffy!
The professors are discussing the decoration of Yunduo Honeyland.
"This decoration is quite stylish, very much in the style of Italian architect Kevin. As far as I know, two years ago, one of our architecture students went to study in Italy after his undergraduate studies. He was studying in this school of thought. It seems to be the work of our Fudan University as well."
Shen Yu forced a smile, glancing at Tang Yuanyuan vaguely. He took off his glasses and gently wiped off the nonexistent dust. "Professor Ma has a unique vision. Perhaps this is the work of a Fudan University student."
The clock pointed to nine o'clock, and the classmates had already taken out the firecrackers and hung them up. Liu Lijuan brought over a matchbox, and Shen Yu took it and lit the firecrackers. Sweet officially opened with the sound of firecrackers and the ribbon was cut.
Tang Yuanyuan directly sent Assistant Fan to the car.
"Mr. Shen, Assistant Fan, goodbye."
The hair in front of Assistant Fan was about to stand up. Although Tang Yuanyuan seemed to be sending him and Mr. Shen off, he always felt that Tang Yuanyuan seemed to have turned to sending him off.
Because she winked at him.
Only after closing the car door did Assistant Fant straighten his tie with lingering fear.
Shen Yu took all of this in from the corner of his eye and deliberately asked, "You don't look well. What happened?"
"Big deal," Assistant Fan cleared his throat, "Mr. Shen, I'm done. Miss Tang seems to have some interest in me. Will I lose my leg?"
Shen Yu patted his shoulder with his fair hand: "Don't think too much."
After a whole day, Tang Yuanyuan looked at the turnover, which was 1,616 yuan. Among them, the fixed costs of labor and rent were 280 yuan, and the cost of raw materials such as cream and jam was nearly 400 yuan, so the profit was more than 900 yuan.
Liu Lijuan excitedly announced this, and then everyone went out to eat hot pot to celebrate.
Tang Yuanyuan didn't want to appear to be a loner, so she naturally went along. The hot pot restaurant was right next to her, so she took the opportunity to call Shen Yu while waiting for the food.
"Mr. Shen."
"It's so early today, only 9:20."
"I'm having hotpot with my classmates outside. I happen to be free now, so I can go home directly after eating."
"Turn back."
Tang Yuanyuan turned around and saw Shen Yu holding a mobile phone in one hand, and the cold wind of early autumn blew up his cashmere coat.
Tang Yuanyuan put the phone into the groove of the phone booth and thought to herself, how stupid is this person to come here in the middle of the night to blow the cold wind.
"What are you doing here?"
"I was just passing by and came to see someone's girlfriend."
Tang Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm going in to eat."
Shen Yu: "I'll treat you to a meal?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "No, goodbye."
"Here."
A soft and warm hot water bottle was stuffed into the palm of her hand. Tang Yuanyuan felt as if her frozen palm was holding the sun, and the warm current rushed into her limbs through her frozen palm.
Shen Yu turned his back to Tang Yuanyuan, waved his hand, got into the car and left.
This hot water bottle is small, but Tang Yuanyuan’s coat pocket is big enough, so no one can see it when he puts it in his pocket. It feels even warmer when it is placed against his stomach.
Liu Lijuan raised her glass happily: "Today, our performance was very successful!"
"Forget about those clouds! Our cake shop will definitely prosper. As long as we turn it into a chain store, everyone will have original shares!"
Several classmates were so excited that their eyes were bloodshot. Their monthly living expenses were only about 100 yuan, and no one had ever seen such a huge sum of money!
It’s only 50% off now, and I made nearly 1,000 yuan on the first day. If I sell it at the original price later, I will make 2,000 to 3,000 yuan a day.
This project will soon be developed into a chain store.
They can all follow and become rich!
Zhang Li: "Thanks to the team leader's foresight, this project was the right one. Fortunately, we didn't go the low-cost route. Let Yun Duo die."
Tang Yuanyuan suspected that Zhang Li was not mentally healthy. Every time she flattered Liu Lijuan, she would feel disgusted.
If I don't mention her, does that mean I'm not flattering her?
Liu Lijuan was also very happy with such flattery. She covered her mouth and laughed happily. After laughing for a long time, she pretended to be modest and said, "It's not just me who has made this achievement. Everyone has contributed to it. Everyone has done their best for our store. As the team leader, I sincerely thank you all today."
Tang Yuanyuan picked up the milk in a sociable manner.
Zhang Li said, "Alas, Tang Yuanyuan, this is not very kind of you. We are all drinking, you can't drink milk alone."
Tang Yuanyuan: "Then what do you think I should drink?"
Zhang Li: "Just like us, drinking."
Tang Yuanyuan hated being threatened the most, and who the hell was Zhang Li? She really treated her like a soft persimmon.
So she rudely poured the soda directly onto Zhang Li's coat: "Sorry, I didn't mean to."
Zhang Li couldn't help it, "Tang Yuanyuan, what do you mean?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "I'm not happy with you, understand?"
Zhang Li: "It's nothing if your family has a few bucks. This is Fuda University, not your company!"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Having filthy rich is amazing. I can kick you out of the project team right now. Do you believe it?"
When Liu Lijuan saw that the situation had gotten out of hand, she quickly stepped in to smooth things over and pulled Zhang Li aside, saying, "What are you doing? We're all colleagues and classmates. Stop throwing tantrums."
Zhang Li drank a few glasses of wine and her temper flared up. Of course, she had always disliked Tang Yuanyuan.
Why can she be admitted just because her family is rich?
This is not fair at all.
"I'm not throwing a tantrum. It's someone who's bullying me because of their family background. Tang Yuanyuan, you think you're so great just because you have a few bucks. You're still relying on your parents and Mr. Shen for everything. What's there to be proud of? I've come this far step by step!"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Today I will teach you a lesson."
"Being able to reincarnate is also a skill!"
"With this kind of ability, I can even make you lose your fair share and get kicked out of the project team. I'm going to make a call right now and show you what I'm capable of."
In this day and age, using backdoors is a shameful thing, but Tang Yuanyuan doesn't care about other people's opinions at all, so she acts unscrupulously.
Zhang Li never expected that Tang Yuanyuan would say such a thing.
If she was kicked out of the project team, then what happened next would have nothing to do with her. Now she was sober from the shock and didn't know what to do for a moment.
She burst into tears and hugged Liu Lijuan: "Team Leader, look at her, it's not enough for her to use the backdoor, she also wants to bully me."
It was one thing for Liu Lijuan to enjoy Zhang Li's compliments, but she didn't dare to offend Tang Yuanyuan openly. She had graduated and wanted to work for a big company.
I cursed Zhang Li in my heart for being stupid. Even she had to smile when talking to Tang Yuanyuan. You, a lackey, still want to bully others so blatantly.
Who else should I punish if not you?
Although she thought so in her heart, of course she couldn't say it all out loud. If Zhang Li fired Tang Yuanyuan, her authority as the team leader would be challenged.
Who is completely convinced by her?
She could only act as a peacemaker. The moment Tang Yuanyuan took a step forward, she grabbed Tang Yuanyuan's arm and said, "Don't be impulsive. We are all classmates. We will see each other sooner or later. Don't be angry when I scold her."
Tang Yuanyuan used Zhang Li to establish her authority and had no intention of looking for Shen Yu.
She puffed her cheeks unhappily, showing her anger and impulsiveness on her face: "Team Leader, I'm not trying to bully her, someone is just treating me like a fool!"
"I joined the project from the backend, but I didn't hold anyone back. Who asked for data that I didn't get for them? I didn't slack off during the professor's defense. I did half of the basic legwork, including the decoration, raw materials, and other basic tasks, all by myself. I never slacked off once."
"I, Tang Yuanyuan, dare to say to heaven that I am worthy of being a member of this team."
"But Zhang Li, have you ever run any of these events?"
Zhang Li stiffened her neck. "I didn't do the basic work. You were the last one in. It's the traditional rule that the last one in is responsible for running errands and doing odd jobs. Besides, I'm not idle either. I'm responsible for controlling costs. I have to control these major issues with the team leader."
Tang Yuanyuan was so angry that she laughed: "I have done the work I should do, and my ability is not bad. What gives you the right to play tricks on me everywhere? You say bad things about me everywhere. You know what you said about me. You don't really think I'm a fool who knows nothing, do you?"
"Didn't you say I rely on my family for support? Well, I'm going to make this a reality today and get you out of the project team."
Zhang Li's face turned pale with fright.
If she is kicked out, her resume will not be outstanding and her starting point in the future will be much worse!
Now I really feel scared.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that about you. I won't say that about you again. Please, don't tell on me."
Tang Yuanyuan sneered, "Are you scared now? Where were you before? Do you really think I, Tang Yuanyuan, am made of clay and can be bullied by you?"
Zhang Li wiped her tears and dared not to defend herself.
Liu Lijuan nudged her and placed the wine glass in her palm. "We are all classmates. We should help each other. Don't cause trouble in the future. You should apologize to Tang Yuanyuan. She is very generous and will definitely forgive you."
Zhang Li did as she was told.
Tang Yuanyuan had been relying on Shen Yu's reputation to act in a big way. Now that Zhang Li was scared of her, there was no need for her to remain stubborn.
"I've never suffered any injustice since I was a child, so I have a bad temper, but I'm also very simple. As long as you don't provoke me, I won't bite. If I'm really pushed to the limit, I don't mind taking advantage of my power to bully others."
Liu Lijuan's smile froze a bit, because several classmates in the group were obviously afraid of Tang Yuanyuan's gaze, and said in a high-minded way: "We are all classmates. From now on, no one should play tricks or speak too quickly. Let's all get along well."
A celebration banquet, but it ended in a rather unpleasant way.
For five consecutive days, sweet's sales were good. With high prices, the students were proud that they could afford sweet's desserts. Liu Lijuan walked with such confidence that she looked like she was in the wind. Several members of the group even boasted about it everywhere.
Everyone felt that they were not far from success and fame, but on the contrary, what they talked about most was that Yunduo Mijing was doomed.
Tang Yuanyuan is not as optimistic as they are. Everyone is used to the 50% discount. If the price returns to the original price in the future, will the sales volume still be so high?
There's a huge difference in money.
What's more, she has heard customers say more than once that the cake is too sweet.
Moreover, she had noticed carefully that a quarter of the customers put down their spoons and left before finishing a piece of cake.
What’s even worse is that the shop assistants, like Wei Hai, look down on ordinary customers.
"This cake of yours is too expensive. Can I get a discount if I buy two?"
Faced with the customer's bargaining, the salesperson rolled his eyes and looked down on the customer: "No, we are a high-end cake shop, made by chefs from five-star hotels, this is already a discounted price."
While eating, Tang Yuanyuan instructed Li Mu: "Tell Jiang Hong to train the staff well. No matter whether the customer can afford it or not, they must serve with a smile and not look down on others."
Jiang Hong is the store manager they hired.
Li Mu: "Don't worry, we've been following your instructions for a month and will definitely not make this kind of mistake again."
Tang Yuanyuan thought for a moment and said, "We can't just rely on them to be self-disciplined. So, you could set up a complaint mailbox. If anyone complains about poor service attitude more than three times, 50 yuan of their bonus will be deducted."
Li Mu: "No problem, but I have a question. Why are you so afraid of others knowing about this store? Since we've already opened the store, you can just quit that stupid group. You and I will both be our own bosses in the future, so we don't care about this. Why are you being so secretive?"
Tang Yuanyuan didn't know what to say about Shen Yu.
She took Li Mu to Shen Yu to beat him up, which caused more trouble.
She wanted to run this store quietly so that no one could threaten her in the future, so she just made up an excuse to get away with it.
The next day, Saturday, was another date.
Although it was called a date, it didn't feel like a date at all. Shen Yu was still tending to his flowers and plants as usual, and Tang Yuanyuan would bring her homework to do without any hesitation. It was no different from the library. However, what made it better than the library was that this greenhouse was made of all glass, and the golden winter sunlight fell on it, making it warm and comfortable, and there was also the fragrance of flowers.
There are exquisite snacks on hand, and grapefruit tea is simmering on a small red clay stove.
Sometimes Tang Yuanyuan would comfortably lie on the table and take a nap.
She originally thought that Shen Yu's mention of competitors was just a reminder for her, but she didn't expect Shen Yu to ask, "Last time, I asked you to pay attention to your competitors. Who is the owner of Yunduo Mijing? How is the investigation going?"
Tang Yuanyuan choked on a mouthful of grapefruit tea.
She opened it herself, it would be strange if she investigated.
Fortunately, Jiang Hong is a native of Shanghai. After thinking for a moment, she casually said, "The boss seems to be a native of Shanghai."
Shen Yu: "As if? As if what's the use? The other party's name, gender, gender, family financial resources, all this information needs to be found out."
"Two stores next to each other, it's inevitable that there will be a price war. How much wealth can be put into the battle? These are the key factors. I asked you to check, but you didn't even find out the name and hometown? Are you so indifferent to SEET? Miss Tang, this is not like you."
"Or maybe you can't find it, so I'll ask someone else to check it out?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "I can find out. I've been busy with Sweet's business this week and I'm exhausted. I'll check tomorrow."
Shen Yu raised his lips slightly. "Bring all the above information here next week. Remember to check it carefully."
Tang Yuanyuan slumped over the book: "Oh."
She bit the pen and thought for a moment: "Actually, I asked the clerk, the boss is just an ordinary citizen who rides a bicycle. The shop was opened with the efforts of the whole family and the savings accumulated over many years."
"They have a disabled child to support at home, and they all depend on this store to make a living. I don't think there will be any major threat. After all, Sweet has stores all over the country. They don't have the financial resources to compete with Sweet. You can kill it with your money."
"Mr. Shen, you are so rich, how about you give them a chance to live?"
"Disabled?" Shen Yu raised his voice. "What a coincidence? I vaguely remember hearing this version at some point."
"Or am I remembering it wrong?"
Tang Yuanyuan said with a flattering smile, "Well, Mr. Shen, you have a really good memory. I made up a story when I bought a gift box before."
"This shop owner is really pitiful. He really has a disabled child at home. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see him next time."
"You said that there's no need to investigate this kind of situation so thoroughly. It doesn't pose any threat to you at all, so you don't need to investigate it, right?"
"Such a poor family should be given a chance to live."
Tang Yuanyuan had just put her heart at ease when she heard Shen Yu's calm voice as he cut off a dead branch and leaf. "I remember they announced they were opening tomorrow. I'll drive you back to school later. It's not easy for people with disabilities, so I'll go and support them. It'll be a good deed, too. What do you think?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "...You don't have to be so kind. I will remember your kindness. Tomorrow, I'll buy a few more cakes to show my support."
Shen Yu: "Such a miserable family, what you said aroused my pity. I plan to try it myself tomorrow. If it's good, I can consider ordering it for the company cafeteria."
Tang Yuanyuan: "...Mr. Shen, you are really kind."
Shen Yu: "Thank you for the compliment. Don't say I didn't give you a chance."
Tang Yuanyuan's face was full of question marks, but soon she knew what it meant.
Assistant Fan came to deliver a document to Shen Yu.
Shen Yu invited him to sit down and have tea together: "Anyway, today is Saturday, you have nothing to do, sit down and have tea with me."
Assistant Fan glanced at Tang Yuanyuan, a trace of panic flashing across his face: "No, Mr. Shen, the company still has things to do, I'm still used to working overtime for you."
Tang Yuanyuan was puzzled: "What's wrong with Assistant Fan? Did something happen at the company? Why did you ask to work overtime on Saturday?"
Shen Yu poured himself a cup of grapefruit tea: "He's worried about losing his legs."
Tang Yuanyuan: "..."
