"How is it?"
Although she still trusted the system, believing that anything it produced was a masterpiece, she still needed to ask. What if something wasn't quite right and needed to be changed?
"Xiao Xi, you're amazing!"
Liang Yunfei raised her hand and made a gesture. This was exactly what she had been hoping for.
"Sigh~"
"Dai Yao?"
"That boy Nan Hua is really lucky!"
Just thinking about it made her feel like he was getting a huge advantage. Their Xiao Xi was such a wonderful girl!
"Achoo~"
The person working overtime in the office sneezed inexplicably.
"......"
She had thought she might get something different from her, but it turned out she was overthinking it.
"You're full, so be serious!"
Whose business was this?
"Mmm! Then I'll say it, first is the packaging. We can't just have a glass cup like this, can we!"
If it were in the shop, it would be fine, a small problem!
"And this price!"
Song Dai Yao, whose mind was filled with getting rich, was now only thinking about the profits.
"Mmm, anything else?"
Qiu Xi nodded one by one. What was being said was quite to the point.
"That's it! Xiao Xi, your finished product is simply perfect."
Alright, it seemed this recipe was indeed good.
"Then let's leave it at that."
Opening a shop was enough. Adding various toppings to milk tea and other desserts could be done slowly later.
"Then it's my turn now." Song Dai Yao said happily, looking at the others.
She felt lucky to have met them. Since they were doing this together, she couldn't keep it all to herself.
"What do you have to say?"
"Because of you, I was able to make a decision so quickly. So, I want you to join me."
Saying what she had decided long ago, Song Dai Yao was a little nervous.
What if they didn't agree! After all, starting a business together sounded good, but whether it would be successful was another matter.
"Sure!"
Qiu Xi had already had this idea when she proposed the recipe. She knew that this girl in front of her was not someone who only thought of herself.
"We..."
Shen Yan and Liang Yunfei hesitated. It wasn't fear, but rather a feeling that they hadn't done much yet, and it felt a bit wrong to just jump in and share the profits.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you feel like you're getting a bargain?"
Seeing their expressions, Qiu Xi guessed.
"Mmm..."
"Then you don't need to think that way. There are still many things to do!"
"That's right! Don't you think I'm a complete idiot, giving you money!"
"We..."
They really did think that...
"Alright, it's decided."
For the first time, Song Dai Yao felt so commanding in front of her roommates!
Hmm... like a domineering CEO!
"Mmm, alright then."
Shen Yan and Liang Yunfei whispered to each other and then nodded.
"Since it's decided, let's discuss the next steps."
"Mmm."
Then, the group discussed everything from start to finish, as if they were in a major meeting.
They discussed the profit sharing, investments, and everything related to the shop's operation. Finally, they agreed to have Song Dai Yao go back and draft a contract with her family.
Then, the branding, publicity, and decoration were all assigned to the three of them. Qiu Xi would be responsible for designing a logo.
"Dai Yao, have you thought of a name?"
"Mmm, Dai Fei!"
She still needed her mother's investment, so she had to include a character from her mother's name.
"It sounds nice."
"Heh heh~ Is it all set now?"
She was tired. She had been here for half the day.
"There's one more important thing, and that's all the licenses needed to open a shop. We can't miss any. If possible, let's get the products tested or something."
"Don't worry about that, I'll handle it."
She was planning to go home anyway, so she could find someone she knew to help her with it.
"Mmm."
A larger share for more work, which was reasonable.
"Then let's call it a day."
She had promised Nan Hua a couple of days ago to visit him today, and it was almost mealtime, so she'd bring him some food.
"Alright! Let's go eat!"
This meeting had lasted quite a while. What they had eaten earlier had been digested, and their stomachs were rumbling.
"How about we just stay here? I'll buy some ingredients and cook for you."
Thinking about bringing food later, she figured she might as well cook.
"Really?"
The three of them were already impressed by Qiu Xi's culinary skills. Now, they were her little fans!
"How about it?"
"Great!!!"
...
"Are you ready? I'll take you back."
After eating, Qiu Xi, carrying the packed meals and freshly made milk tea and desserts, prepared to return to school to find Nan Hua.
"You guys go back. I'm going home later."
After eating her fill, it was time to go home to handle some business. Bringing Xiao Xi's "artwork" back would at least double her chances of success.
"Okay, be careful on the way!"
Knowing what she was going to do, Qiu Xi didn't say much and took the two of them back.
Economics and Management School, Office -
"Teacher, this is my girlfriend..."
"Hello, Teacher!"
This was too awkward!
She probably shouldn't be here! Searching online for scenic, culturally rich places, willing to pay a high price!
Qiu Xi, who had arrived early, thought she would only find Nan Hua there. But when she knocked and opened the door, she ran into an entire office full of people...
"I'll go out and wait for you..."
Saying that, she ran out with the items.
"The young lady is quite cute!"
Before Nan Hua could say anything, the teacher took the lead in teasing her.
"I didn't expect it~ Our junior brother is already taken."
"Teacher, senior brothers, senior sisters!"
If they kept talking, she wouldn't know what to say when they went out later.
"Alright, then we'll finish for today."
It was just a temporary meeting, so they only discussed a few things.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Teacher."
As soon as they finished speaking, everyone dispersed.
Nan Hua quickly tidied up and immediately went outside.
"Xi Xi!"
"Nan Hua!"
Looking at the person who came out, Qiu Xi was still a little embarrassed.
When she saw Nan Hua, she wished she could hide behind him.
"I didn't expect there to be so many of you."
"It's okay, it's my fault for not telling you."
"The teacher suddenly called a temporary meeting today."
"Mmm! But I still feel a bit... I don't even have the face to see your teacher and senior brothers and sisters again!"
"It's alright, the teacher is very nice, and the senior brothers and sisters are also very good."
"Mmm."
"Here, this is for you."
Only after everyone had left did she dare to take it out.
"Is this what you were talking about, for the shop?"
It didn't look like it, given it was packed meal.
"No, this is for the shop."
She shook the milk tea and dessert in her other hand.
"Mmm."
"Let's go, find a place."
Carrying the items, the two prepared to leave.
"Teacher."
Seeing the person who came out right behind them and coughed twice, Nan Hua had no choice but to greet him again.
At the same time, he felt a headache because the teacher also loved gossip.
"What's the young lady's name?"
Smiling, Zhong Chenghua looked at the young lady in front of him.
"Teacher, my name is Qiu Xi."
It sounded a bit familiar, but he couldn't recall it immediately.
"Teacher Zhong, this is for you. We won't disturb you any longer."
Seeing the situation, Nan Hua simply handed over a cup of milk tea and a dessert he was holding, treating it as a disciple's filial piety to his master.
"Goodbye, Teacher."
After saying that, he pulled Qiu Xi and left.
"This little rascal!"
But these things smelled quite good.
Mmm, not bad!
Although he didn't really like to drink this stuff, he couldn't resist.
He didn't expect it to be quite good.
