Chapter 141 Lu Xingye
Chen Yuan turned around, and before he could say anything, the other person smiled and extended their hand to him.
"Hello, my name is Lu Xingye."
"You can tell from the name that I own Hoshino Tea House across the street."
Chen Yuan reached out and gently shook hands with the other person.
"Hello, my name is Chen Yuan."
"Seeing is believing! Boss Chen is indeed a handsome man. I wonder if he has a girlfriend yet?"
Chen Yuan: Are girls this direct nowadays?
Lu Xingye's eyes were curved, like a cunning little fox.
Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't speak, she didn't feel embarrassed at all, but spoke frankly.
"My old bubble tea shop was in the East District. The lease had just expired, and I saw that your place suddenly became popular and packed with people, so I moved here."
"To be honest, Mr. Chen, I've come to see you today to discuss a collaboration."
When Lu Xingye spoke, he was crisp and decisive, without beating around the bush. Moreover, his eyes shone with the shrewdness and vibrancy unique to young people.
Chen Yuan was also very interested in the cooperation she mentioned, so he asked her about it.
"What kind of cooperation?"
"It's very simple. My store has just opened and I need to attract customers. You just need to put up a sign in the store, or give a coupon for my store to any customer who makes a purchase from you."
"For every cup I sell, I'll give you a 1 yuan cashback. It's a win-win situation, how about it?"
Done.
Lu Xingye blinked, his face full of anticipation.
Chen Yuan put the mop aside. Seeing that the other person was quite serious when he said this, he thought about it seriously as well and said in a very calm tone.
"I'm sorry, I can't agree to your suggestion at the moment."
"Huh? Why?"
"It's very simple. You know my shop relies on the trust of the neighbors and on word of mouth. What brands of raw materials do you use in your milk tea shop? What are your hygiene standards? I know nothing about that."
"If I use my reputation to endorse you, and you run into trouble, I'll be implicated too, so I can't agree to that."
Lu Xing was also taken aback, not expecting the other party to refuse so decisively.
She pouted, looking a little unhappy.
Just when Chen Yuan thought the other party was about to turn hostile, Lu Xingye unexpectedly laughed instead.
"Alright, Boss Chen is indeed cautious. Your reason for refusing is indeed valid. I accept it."
"To be honest, there are plenty of people who can make money just by posting a joint brand name these days. You're really honest; it seems like you're planning to do this long-term."
Chen Yuan thought the other party would give up, but it seemed that the other party had made up their mind.
"Okay then, you can come and visit my kitchen, and you can check our purchase orders as you please. Of course, I'm saying this mainly because I have confidence in the milk tea we sell."
"How about it? Haven't I shown enough sincerity? Would you consider collaborating with me?"
Just as Chen Yuan found it troublesome and was about to refuse...
A familiar system voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
[Traffic overflow detected in the host store; the surrounding business ecosystem is gradually activating.]
[Side quest triggered. Objective: Assist Hoshino Tea in effective promotion and achieve 100 actual sales.]
[Task Reward: Meat Fry (Divine Level)]
[Note: There is no penalty for failing the task, but the reward will be permanently locked. Do you accept?]
Chen Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.
Meat-filled bun?
He absolutely loves meat-filled buns!
That kind of meat-filled flatbread, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, juicy and flavorful with every bite.
It was his favorite thing during his university years.
It is also one of the hardcore breakfast options currently lacking in breakfast shops.
With it, breakfast shops can offer a wider variety of products.
This gives diners another reason to look forward to dining and another option to choose from.
After accepting the mission.
Chen Yuan turned to look at Lu Xingye, his tone softening slightly, but still retaining an uncompromising bottom line.
"You are indeed very sincere, and I can help you get on board, but I need to add a few conditions."
"Huh? You agreed so quickly?"
Lu Xingye was surprised that the other party agreed so quickly, so he hurriedly urged them on.
"Tell me quickly, tell me everything. Don't just name a few conditions, I'll agree to a dozen."
"First, I need to go into your kitchen and check all your raw material purchase orders, expiration dates, and storage conditions."
"Secondly, I must personally taste all your milk tea varieties, because taste is the most important thing."
"Third, if I feel that the quality is not up to standard, or if there are any potential problems, I can unilaterally terminate our cooperation."
Chen Yuan felt that the conditions he proposed were somewhat harsh, but in order to ensure reputation and quality, he had no choice but to agree.
"I have a responsibility to my customers, and I also have a responsibility to myself. Can you accept these conditions?"
To everyone's surprise, Lu Xingye didn't feel offended at all. Instead, he raised an eyebrow, his admiration for Lu Xingye undisguised.
"Sure! We'll investigate and try it."
"True gold fears no fire. We only use the best products at home. I worked at that shop for three years, and business was always good. Even the health inspection bureau couldn't find anything wrong with it, so why would we be afraid of your inspection?"
Chen Xingye was a straightforward person, and he pointed to his own shop door and said.
"Let's go! I'll treat you to my favorite oolong milk tea."
Chen Yuan followed her into the store.
The store wasn't renovated; they just put up a layer of wallpaper.
The rest of the items seemed to have been moved from the original store; the tables, chairs, and benches all showed signs of use.
The small house is not big; it can accommodate at most about 20 people.
Chen Yuan followed him into the control room.
The place was cleaner and tidier than he had imagined; the stainless steel workbench, though a bit old, was polished to a shine.
The refrigerator is neatly stocked with fresh milk from major brands.
Chen Yuan casually picked one out; the dates were all very fresh.
There were also individually packaged fruits, sealed tea canisters, and so on, and after inspection, there were no problems.
A hint of pride appeared on Chen Xingye's face.
Then, with nimble hands, she took out a can of high-mountain oolong tea and fresh milk, and made a cup of milk tea on the spot.
Chen Yuan tasted it carefully.
The entrance was truly stunning.
He was a grown man who had never drunk milk tea before. The last time he drank milk tea was at Lin Wei's Chinese herbal milk tea shop.
have to say.
Chen Xingye's milk tea is more than 10 times better than Lin Wei's.
"It tastes good."
Chen Xingye leaned half-lying on the control panel, chin in hand, a smug smile on his lips.
"Of course, and there are no artificial flavors or creamer. There are so many milk tea shops in the East District. If I didn't have some skills, I would have been squeezed out of business long ago."
"How about it? Partnering with me wasn't a bad deal, was it?"
