Chapter 134: Sweeter Than Milk Tea

Chapter 134: Sweeter Than Milk Tea

TL: Etude

Setting up our own delivery system is too troublesome, one of them lamented.

Its more cost-effective to start with a cash-on-delivery settlement model, another suggested.

The combo punch of the forum can only reach Linchuan. Beyond that, the costs soar. We need to break out of our circle in advance.

Small-scale operations are manageable, but scaling up brings a host of problems.

On a sunny and warm afternoon, as the store quieted down, the manager of Xi Tian, Fang Xiaoxuan, gazed through the glass window, her face filled with longing as she watched the shop owner and the boss lady sitting under the sunshade outside the door.

The owner was busy sketching and writing on a piece of paper, muttering to himself.

The boss lady, donning oversized sunglasses that concealed her face, lounged leisurely in a chair, her legs, clad in stockings, swinging gently.

After a while, she extended her milk tea cup to the owner for a sip.

A bit later, she offered it again for another sip.

Sometimes the owner would refuse, complaining it was too sweet. But the boss lady would insist, nudging the cup closer until he relented and took a sip.

Ah, its even sweeter than the milk tea I make, he commented.

Fang Xiaoxuan thought that the owner usually exhibited a seriousness and maturity far beyond his peers, unlike other college students. Whether in his gaze or tone, he lacked the youthful vitality and aspiration, instead possessing a depth and sharpness of an adult.

But whenever the boss lady was around, he would return to his normal state.

Indeed, it seemed that in this world, the only entity capable of taming such a creature as the owner was the boss lady.

Lets go, little rich lady, Ill take you for a stroll.

After a while, Jiang Qin put down his pen, neatly folded the paper, and stuffed it into his pocket, deciding to inspect room 502.

Feng Nanshu stood up to put on her shoes, only to feel her foot gently grasped by a warm hand. Before she knew it, one shoe was already on.

Helping others is the source of happiness, Jiang Qin murmured, adopting an air of a righteous gentleman. He earnestly held her other foot, clad in a stocking, massaging it briefly before helping her with the shoe.

Done, lets go!

Feng Nanshu looked down at her shoes in confusion. Jiang Qin, my shoelaces arent tied yet.

I dont really know how to do that, Jiang Qin admitted, spreading his hands in surrender.

?

Fang Xiaoxuan, watching from behind, slapped the doorframe in amusement, thinking to herself that the owner just wanted to touch the boss ladys stocking-clad feet. Having taken the advantage, he should at least tie her shoelaces!

Arriving at the 502 room of the comprehensive building from Xi Tian Milk Tea Shop, they were greeted with the incessant clatter of keyboards, indicating a fervent working atmosphere.

Dong Wenhao was conducting a meeting with several group leaders, preparing for the crucial conversion phase to prevent a rapid decrease in active users after the event.

Everyone was busy with their tasks, with vibrant energy thoroughly permeating the room.

However, when Feng Nanshu entered with Jiang Qin, many couldnt help but pause their work.

Many newcomers in the large tech team, recruited from the school, didnt recognize Feng Nanshu, and some didnt even know Jiang Qin.

At that moment, one thought crossed their minds.nove(l)bi(n.)com

Fuck, such a beautiful girl.

And when the little rich lady glanced over with an indifferent look, the thought transformed to: Fuck, such a cold and aloof girl.

It was only when the old staff enthusiastically greeted the boss lady that everyone realized who she was. They quickly averted their gaze, straightened their backs, and returned to their fervent work.

The boss lady has brought milk tea for everyone. Someone will deliver it shortly. Wenhao, make sure to distribute it.

Must be fiction it felt too surreal.

Confidence

Yes, perhaps what set him apart from his stepfather was just confidence.

Thank you, student Feng. (not disrespectfully lol)

Youre welcome.

Feng Nanshu replied with a distant coolness, instantly halving Guo Zihangs newfound confidence.

No, maybe it wasnt just confidence that he lacked compared to his stepfather.

Jiang Qin, witnessing Guo Zihangs shrinking confidence, felt somewhat helpless. He thought that forging oneself required inner strength and hoped that one day Guo would find his. Then, he and the little rich lady left the comprehensive building and returned to their car.

His visit today didnt have a specific purpose; it was simply to take Feng Nanshu out for a walk and to relax a bit. The effect seemed pretty good.

Werent you happy when everyone said thank you? Why didnt you react to Guo Zihangs thanks?

He didnt call me boss lady, Feng Nanshu stated matter-of-factly.

Jiang Qin paused, So, what you wanted to hear wasnt thank you, but boss lady?

Mhm.

Why?

I dont know.

Feng Nanshus voice was soft, her eyes sparkly.

In a flash, it was 8 oclock in the evening. Cao Guangyu sent an address with two words: Come quickly.

Jiang Qin saw the words Come quickly, but his mind translated it into, I cant wait to show off!

Ten minutes later, the black Audi arrived at Juxianlou.

Juxianlou was one of the more famous restaurants in Linchuan, with a pure Chinese-style decor. The entire place was adorned in an ancient charm. The entrance felt like stepping into a wealthy familys courtyard, complete with an artificial stream and a realistic landscape tree. Behind it was a rockery constantly emitting mist, resembling the Peach Banquet of the Queen Mother of the West. [1]

Jiang Qin had checked earlier; with an average spend of three hundred per person, it was quite a lavish affair for those times.

After getting out of the car, Feng Nanshu hurried to the restroom, while Jiang Qin entered the private room first.

Pushing open the door, he found Cao Guangyu seated in the central seat, a womans purse on the empty chair beside him. Ren Ziqiang and Zhou Chao looked overwhelmed and dazed, as if they couldnt quite grasp the situation.

Old Jiang, youre here? Come sit!

Jiang Qin sat next to Ren Ziqiang. Old Cao, wheres your partner?

Cao Guangyus face was full of spring: Shes gone to order dishes, shell be back soon, hehe.

Have you all met her already? Jiang Qin looked towards Ren Ziqiang.

Ren Ziqiang nodded. Youd never guess. Old Caos partner is the same one who threatened to beat him up online. Damn, they managed to spark a romance through insults. Ive never seen anything so absurd in my life!
