Chapter 67 – Qi Yun: This Is Torture!
After hearing that the milk tea shop had made a profit that evening, Qi Yun was completely baffled.
The shop had only been open for less than three weeks.
Just a few days ago, it was still losing money. How did it suddenly become profitable?
Early the next morning, he rushed to the milk tea shop with dark circles under his eyes.
When he saw Lian Qingxue, he couldn’t wait to ask, “Did we have good business yesterday?”
“Yes, we sold over 200 cups yesterday, plus desserts, and made over 4,000 in profit!” Lian Qingxue happily replied.
In reality, after deducting the costs, the profit from yesterday was only a couple hundred yuan.
It didn’t seem like much. However, the progress was different.
It was the first time the milk tea shop had turned a profit.
Lian Qingxue was overjoyed. But Qi Yun’s reaction was different…
He earned a few hundred yuan daily and calculated that the shop’s monthly profit would be less than 10,000 yuan.
Even if he took half of it, it would only be a few thousand yuan. And by milking the system, he could earn 200,000 yuan a month!
He was on the verge of tears.
Why is losing money so difficult?
Looking at the cheerful Lian Qingxue, Qi Yun took a deep breath.
No, failing to make a profit was not terrifying. But Qi Yun had to find the reason.
“I will climb back up from where I fell!”
He wanted to see who had betrayed him!
Qi Yun strolled around the shop and immediately noticed the differences.
The menu had been revised, and the cakes and milk tea had their animated character designs, making them look more delicate.
Most importantly, the attitude of the shop’s waitstaff, including Xiao Yue, towards customers was incomparable to before.
It wasn’t that Xiao Yue and the others had a bad attitude in the past. It was just that now, Qi Yun felt a different vibe from them.
It was similar to when he first went to Hai Di Lao hotpot, where he felt guilty if he didn’t consume anything.
As soon as you walked in, you felt like the center of the world.
Qi Yun witnessed an older man in his sixties, who seemed to have come just to watch the commotion.
Xiao Yue warmly served him, and the old man was so touched that he ordered a cup of milk tea and brought along a small cake, smiling as he left.
He even said he would come back tomorrow!
Qi Yun: “…”
He doubted whether the old man even knew what milk tea was!
He grabbed Lin Lin and asked, “What’s wrong with the kids in our shop?”
Lin Lin immediately praised, “Boss, you don’t know. Xiao Yue and the others are working so hard! Every customer who comes in speaks highly of them! We even have quite a few regular customers now.”
“Why are they working so diligently?” Qi Yun gritted his teeth.
“And we have regular customers?”
It seemed like Xiao Yu and the others were the culprits!
“I was also curious at first, but then Xiao Yue said that since you opened this shop for them, they naturally have to do their best,” Lin Lin explained.
“???”
“Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to you, Boss. Otherwise, how could they be so dedicated?”
Lin Lin also took the opportunity to flatter Qi Yun.
Qi Yun: …Thank you, but I’m not happy about it!
After letting the busy Lin Lin go, Qi Yun turned around and saw a familiar face.
“Wang Shang, what are you doing here?”
Chubby Wang Shang was sitting in the shop chatting with a group of friends. When he saw Qi Yun, he immediately smiled and said, “You opened a shop without telling your brother. Luckily, I found out!”
“……How did you find out?” Qi Yun had a bad premonition.
“The entire class knows! We come to support your business every day!” Wang Shang happily said.
Qi Yun: ……So you guys also know?
“The entire class knows? And they support my business?” Qi Yun asked.
“Yeah, since you give us extra lessons, we thought we couldn’t do much to help you, but we should come to support your shop. Many students from our class whose families are well-off have been here. Quite a few of them like your milk tea and come every day!” Wang Shang explained.
Qi Yun felt a throbbing headache.
In this world, good deeds don’t go unpunished!
I just did a few good things. Why don’t you let me lose some money?
But Wang Shang was still proud.
“Not only us, but I also recommended it to friends from other classes. Your milk tea is indeed delicious compared to other shops! I recommend it, honestly. I’m not exaggerating!”
“Me too!”
“Me too!”
The classmates behind him raised their hands one after another.
Qi Yun…… Qi Yun could only suppress his inner tears and said with a complicated tone, “Thank you all…”
Wang Shang humbly replied, “No need to thank us, we’re all brothers! I’ll recommend it to more people in the future!”
“……There’s no need, actually,” Qi Yun said.
Wang Shang pounded his chest and said, “Don’t be polite! Besides, I’m not lying. Your milk tea is truly better than others. I’m just being honest when I recommend it!”
“So are we!”
His classmates behind him echoed.
Qi Yun: ……This is torture!
