Chapter 74: Chapter 66: Really? I Don’t Believe It_2
The School of Management’s 10 classes rushed to the back door of the second canteen first thing, paid their money, picked up buckets, and left, all easy and cheerful.
Soon after, quite a few other classes followed suit.
With over 7000 new students, it was impossible for everyone to like sour plum drink, and not every class would join in the fun, but by the end of the morning, Su Huai had still sold 75 buckets.
In the afternoon, as the weather grew even hotter, bulk sales exploded to 96 buckets.
Almost two-thirds of the classes had chosen to give it a try.
If nothing went wrong, tomorrow the remaining third would also join in, at least making a purchase once.
One must admit, sour plum drink truly was the holy grail of military training refreshments; selling milk tea or coffee or any other beverages didn’t hit the spot quite like sour plum drink did.
Even though it was just a stroke of brilliance from Su Huai, based on the current situation, he seemed to have a bit of a knack for business after all.
Throughout the day, Su Huai’s income amounted to 57,850 yuan.
Over by the first canteen, Li Chengguo, who turned to retail, sold a total of 458 cups for the day, a mediocre performance, but with higher unit price and profit.
The low-sugar version sold for 6 yuan, high-sugar with honey for 7 yuan, bringing in a total sales revenue of 2,988 yuan.
At dinner time, when they gathered to eat, Chen Nuanhan seemed a bit worried.
“Retail doesn’t seem to have taken off? After deducting the 1000 yuan you owe me, are you still making any profit?”

You must be kidding!
Even if I gave you ten thousand, I’d still make a profit. Ever heard of a free ride?
Laughing inwardly, Su Huai casually replied, “Don’t worry, we’re just starting to heat up, it hasn’t exploded yet. Actually, there were clear signs of a surge in the afternoon, didn’t you notice more and more students getting curious about the medicinal sour plum drink’s effects?”
Chen Nuanhan tried hard to recall but eventually shook her head resignedly.
“I didn’t notice… Little Su, am I not cut out for business?”
Definitely, you could mess up anything.
Thinking about it made Su Huai’s teeth itch.
Her kind of talent, combined with her looks, would be killer in dealing with people.
If the previous life’s Su Huai had those advantages, having a net worth of over a hundred million by 30, and reaching a billion by 35, wouldn’t have been a dream.
But what about her?
Laid-back and carefree, dabbling in this and wandering in that, living as a salted fish despite being fully equipped – isn’t that infuriating?
Why didn’t she put that same effort she has in competing with Gu Jiuyue into her career?
Oh, you’ve realized the gap is widening, can’t keep up, so you’ve decided to lie flat and enjoy life?
Then why not lie flat earlier and stop tormenting Chu Changkuo and me during college, huh?
The more he thought about it, the angrier Su Huai became, encouraging her with a sincere face, “Not at all! I actually think you’re someone with a lot of business talent, you just lack experience… Hey, why don’t you find an opportunity to give it a try? I could invest.”
“Wow!”
“You’re too kind, Uncle!”
“That’s the spirit! We’ve been working hard to help you!”
The girls all got excited, chattering and praising Su Huai.
Entrepreneurship, damn!
Though it wasn’t about themselves, and the venture was sure not to be big, the word itself was already awesome and sacred, okay?
In their excitement, everyone started to encourage Chen Nuanhan.
Chen Nuanhan responded with a chuckle, propped her cheeks with her hands, and leaned on the table, looking at Su Huai with eyes both adorable and meaningful.
“Really? Hm?!”
Fuck!
An instinctive move, Su Huai shifted his eyes away, not daring to meet her gaze.
Internally cursing himself: What a complete dummy. Why did you involve her if you weren’t sure? Damn idiot!
“Heh…”
Caught, Su Huai had no choice but to tough it out, “Of course it’s true… and I’ll help you out, won’t I?”
“You’re not going to sell me off and then make me count the money, are you?”
Her smile grew sweeter and cuter, her eyes narrowing slightly as she kept her gaze fixed on Su Huai’s face.
Sweating profusely, Gou Huai was fortunate that at that moment, Li Chengguo emerged from the window with a goofy smile, allowing him to jump up and rush over.
“Li, come on, let’s square up the account!”
Li Chengguo: ???
Confused, he didn’t understand what was the big deal about settling an account worth just under 3000 yuan.
Upon reflection, his expression suddenly changed dramatically.
“Su, I haven’t embezzled your raw materials! I just took a spoonful to drink at noon, can’t I make up for it?”
A burst of laughter exploded from the girls, and Chen Nuanhan dipped her head to sip through the straw, her eyes forming crescent moons.
…
Leaving Chen Nuanhan to continue her shift at the first canteen, Su Huai fled in disgrace, retreating to his dorm.
At 8:30, Wang sent a message: “Su, I’m on duty today…”
All right, all right, I got it!
With a sigh of resignation, Su Huai replied: “You just rest in the office, I’ll go do the inspection for you.”
“Hey!”
Wang Zhi responded in a second, through which Su Huai could even imagine the eager joy on his face.
This is ridiculous…
Why am I, just a freshman, already at this point?
Playing both father and mother, constantly worrying about things I shouldn’t be.
Changing into a mandarin collar short-sleeved shirt and casual pants, Su Huai complained as he looked in the mirror.
Crisp and clean as a post-95, but looking like some uncle – who will compensate for my lost youth?
Wang, oh Wang, for those guaranteed spots for postgraduate recommendation, you’ll have to snag a couple for me…
While adjusting his pants, Su Huai suddenly noticed something was off.
Huh?
Why do these pants feel tight? Did my butt get bigger?
Whoa, talk about front protrusion and back curvature…
Su Huai didn’t understand; he had only put on a bit of muscle, without broad shoulders or a thick chest, and all the bulking seemed to have gone to his rear – what was up with the system?
He turned his body in the mirror to look – side view, back view – indeed, he could feel a certain curvature.
Well, it’s not bad to add it to horsepower…
But the black belt paired with deep blue casual pants looked uncomfortable no matter how he viewed it.
Was my taste always this tacky when I was younger?
