Chapter 16: Yuesheng's Milk Tea Shop



Cheng Yuesheng had been hospitalized for a few days and was finally approved for discharge tomorrow. Qin Heque had occasionally come to visit him these past few days, sometimes during work hours, so he would bring his computer to work.

At this time, he was also sitting aside looking at the computer screen and participating in a video conference with Bluetooth headphones.

Cheng Yuesheng was browsing her phone while comfortably eating the grapes he had brought her, moving very quietly, afraid to disturb him. After a few days of contact, although Qin Heque's thoughts were unpredictable, she had become somewhat accustomed to being with him and no longer felt as resistant as she had at the beginning.

At this time, a message came on her mobile phone. Cheng Yuesheng clicked it and saw that it was her classmate Lin Xiaoke asking her to go to the milk tea shop tomorrow.

It was then that she remembered that during her senior year internship, the original owner had invested in a milk tea shop owned by a classmate who had been fired by the internship company. Lin Xiaoke, this classmate, was also very responsible and would ask Cheng Yuesheng to go to the shop to check the accounts every month.

Cheng Yuesheng quickly replied to Lin Xiaoke, saying that he was going to be discharged from the hospital the next day and would stop by on his way.

After Qin Heque finished the video conference, he looked at Cheng Yuesheng, who was leisurely playing with his phone, and said, "I'll pick you up from the hospital tomorrow."

"Huh?" Cheng Yuesheng was so frightened that he turned over and sat up straight, and said quickly: "No, I can do it myself, no need to trouble you."

"It's not a big deal." He packed up his things and picked up his laptop. "It's settled." Then he walked away without giving Cheng Yuesheng a chance to retort.

The next day, Cheng Yuesheng got up early, packed his things, and stayed in the ward waiting for Qin Heque's arrival.

Qin Heque didn't let her wait for long and even brought her breakfast when he came.

"You also brought me breakfast!" Cheng Yuesheng said in surprise.

"Yeah." Qin Heque put the breakfast on the table and opened the bag and arranged it one by one.

"It's shrimp dumplings!" Cheng Yuesheng stared at the crystal clear and plump shrimp dumplings, his eyes sparkling.

"Thank you." She thanked Qin Heque with a smile on her face.

It was the first time that Qin Heque saw her smile so vividly, and it was just because of a serving of shrimp dumplings.

So easy to satisfy.

"Eat quickly, and then we'll go through the discharge procedures."

"good."

The shrimp dumplings were still warm but not too hot. Cheng Yuesheng ate one in a mouthful and finished them quickly. Then he drank some porridge and felt full.

"Are you full after eating only this little?" Qin Heque said from the side.

Cheng Yuesheng then realized that he was so busy eating that he had finished talking to Qin Heque. Seeing that the other party's eyes were slightly raised and there was a smile on his lips, his face suddenly turned red.

"Sorry." She stammered, "I was a little hungry just now."

"Are you full after eating so little?" Qin Heque looked at her embarrassed look, his smile deepened, and the coldness around him disappeared instantly.

Cheng Yuesheng nodded embarrassedly.

"It's really easy to raise." Qin Heque said lightly.

Cheng Yuesheng was confused and looked up at Qin Heque.

Qin Heque didn't continue, packed up his things, and said, "Get your things and get ready to go."

"Okay." Cheng Yuesheng didn't have much stuff, just a small bag.

Cheng Yuesheng sat in the passenger seat, feeling a bit reserved. She stared out the window at the scenery speeding by, her mind racing. Sometimes she was thinking about her blind date, sometimes about the development of the original story. Then she thought about sitting in Qin Heque's passenger seat. She wondered if he had a girlfriend, and whether she would mind...

"What are you thinking about?" Qin Heque couldn't help but ask as he saw the expression on her face changing after she got in the car.

"I was wondering if you have a girlfriend. Do you mind if I sit in the passenger seat..." Cheng Yuesheng unconsciously said what was in his mind.

"No, you can sit." His eyebrows moved slightly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his eyes lingered on her.

Only then did Cheng Yuesheng realize that he had been speaking without thinking and had spoken out his random thoughts.

"I'm sorry, I was just daydreaming. Don't mind it." She explained hurriedly, with a thin layer of pink on her fair face.

"Well, I don't mind." Qin Heque smiled dumbly, and he said again: "You can sit in this seat."

Cheng Yuesheng didn't take this sentence to heart.

"By the way, I have somewhere to go." Cheng Yuesheng almost forgot that he had an appointment with Lin Xiaoke today.

"Where are you going?" He had just been discharged from the hospital, and now he was going to run around somewhere.

"My classmate is looking for me at the milk tea shop near the school."

"good."

Cheng Yuesheng gave him the new address. Fortunately, it was on the way there. The milk tea shop and her apartment were both in the university town.

Qin Heque sent her to the door of the milk tea shop, and before Cheng Yuesheng got out of the car and closed the door, he called her, "Cheng Yuesheng."

"What's wrong?" Cheng Yuesheng turned around and looked at him, only to find that Qin Heque was looking at him seriously.

“Call me if you have any problems.”

Cheng Yuesheng looked into his deep eyes and responded unconsciously: "Okay."

When Cheng Yuesheng entered the milk tea shop, Lin Xiaoke was busy at the counter.

"You're here, Yuesheng."

Lin Xiaoke is tall and she looks youthful in a light blue denim overalls skirt.

"Come here quickly." She took Cheng Yuesheng's hand, walked to the counter and pulled out last month's revenue bill.

Cheng Yuesheng had already looked at the electronic file yesterday. She carefully browsed the data in the cash register and found discrepancies with the electronic form. It seemed that Lin Xiaoke was a trustworthy person.

"Have you finished reading it? Did you receive last month's dividend?"

"Got it." She was shocked when she received the text message reminder. The number had both zeros and integers. Later she realized that it was a dividend.

"Last month's dividends were less than before, because several new milk tea shops opened nearby during this period, and some customers no longer come to us." Lin Xiaoke sighed softly. This was the main reason why she asked Cheng Yuesheng to come over today.

"Is that so?" Cheng Yuesheng didn't notice the decrease in dividends, and he guessed that the original owner wouldn't notice it either.

The competition in the milk tea shop industry is fierce, both in her original world and in the world of this book.

“Is the milk tea in the newly opened stores good?”

"No, I've tried it, and our milk tea is still better, but their price is cheaper than ours, so they attracted some customers away." Lin Xiaoke also knew the reason, but that was also why he was worried.

"Oh, have you ever thought about promotions or discounts?" Cheng Yuesheng asked.

"No." Lin Xiaoke shook her head. "These methods are not sustainable. Fighting price wars with others will only consume yourself."

"You're right, it's true that price wars aren't going to work, but the milk tea shop is located in a university town, and most of the customers here are students. They are price-sensitive consumers, and they will go to other places just because their milk tea is cheaper than ours." Cheng Yuesheng frowned.

"Yes, so we have to think of a way." This milk tea shop is Lin Xiaoke's hard work, and she will not give up easily.

"Yeah." Cheng Yuesheng nodded and looked at the medium-sized milk tea shop. Given her current relationship with the Cheng family, her future financial support would probably depend on this place.

At this moment, someone suddenly pushed the door open and came in. It was an acquaintance of Cheng Yuesheng.
