Chapter 45: The First Customer of Yuanxu Milk Coffee
The following morning, at the Bala Building.
"Okay, the effect is good. It's just that Ning Ran's performance is a little lacking, but there's no rush, there's still time." Xu Yuan looked at Bala's debut group's initial stage performance and felt that it had reached 70% of the standard.
The rest is just a matter of constant repetition and practice, as well as issues related to external stage design, filming, and so on.
The music video recording is expected to begin the week after next.
That is, to sing and dance in several different places.
It can be recorded in a week.
After finishing up here, Xu Yuan prepared to leave.
His Yuanxu Milk Cafe officially opened for trial operation today.
The elevator doors were closing when Shu Ningran suddenly chased after her: "Wait a minute, I'm going to get something from the car, Producer Xu..."
Xu Yuan wanted to press the open button, but he pressed the close button instead.
The meaning of these two keys is clear, there's nothing wrong with them. However, the two keys themselves are very similar in shape, so it's common to press the wrong one.
Through the elevator doors, Xu Yuan heard Shu Ningran complaining to the trio in the distance: "Did you see that? What kind of person is this? How can he act like that? Does he think the elevator belongs to him? It can clearly seat two people, but he insists on taking it all by himself. He's wasting public resources..."
Oh, you all sang well, but mine was a little lacking in impact?
I think he's targeting me.
He's just someone who resents the rich...
An Xue stared at the floor display, her expression complex.
"An Xue, what's wrong?"
"Hey? Zhen'er, why are you winking at me like that?"
"Xiao En, do you have a fever? You're covering your forehead."
Behind Shu Ningran, the elevator doors opened.
She turned around after hearing the voice and saw Xu Yuan smiling: "I didn't have time to press the floor button yet, do you want to come along?"
Hahaha!
The trio's performance was hilarious.
Inside the elevator.
Shu Ningran's face turned completely red, and she was too ashamed to say anything more.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
The two of them arrived at the underground parking lot.
Shu Ningran got into her U8 and was looking for something in the armrest box when she saw a purple supercar drive past in front of her.
and many more.
This is... a U9?
It looks like the same car I saw at the 4S store before?
The person driving looks like... Xu Yuan?
Shu Ningran wasn't sure if she was seeing things.
If it really is Xu Yuan...
"You jerk! You don't even know how to use a compass to park your own car, and you know how to cherish your tires, but you just stand up and pedal when it's someone else's car!" Shu Ningran immediately fastened her seatbelt and drove after them.
On the surface, it seems like they're looking for trouble.
But the underlying reason is... if she finds out where Xu Yuan is in the wrong, then it can offset her complaints about Xu Yuan at the elevator, and she can face Xu Yuan naturally.
A few minutes later.
"It should be this way. I remember it went into this alley." Shu Ningran's U8 slowly drove through the alley and finally saw a purple U9 parked not far away at the third alley entrance.
It stayed there quietly, like a peacefully resting purple kitten.
"Hmm?" Shu Ningran looked around, a reminiscing expression on her face. "This is... which coffee shop did Xiao En bring me and Mei Zhi to that day?"
The coffee shop was under renovation at the time; is it finished now?
"Yuanxu Milk Coffee?"
Shu Ningran drove up to the door and immediately saw Xu Yuan fiddling with equipment inside.
This is actually that guy's shop?
Hurrah!
Taking the high cooperation fee given by his mother, he came to open his own shop during working hours. This is simply... no, the project contract that Xu Yuan signed did not stipulate working hours and location.
In theory, all he needs to do is deliver his debut performance.
"snort!"
Shu Ningran got out of the car and walked into the shop: "Boss, what are your specialties?"
Xu Yuan had already spotted Shu Ningran; her U8 was quite eye-catching. "Oh, so you're the elevator security guard. Wait a moment while I clean the equipment."
After saying that, Xu Yuan tossed a clean rag to Shu Ningran.
Shu Ningran: ? ? ?
"Although we've cleaned it several times, it's been a couple of days since I last came, so it's gotten a little dusty. Please wipe it clean before you sit down."
"Heh, you certainly don't treat your customers like outsiders."
"We're having a soft opening today, so we won't charge you. I'm sure you'd feel bad if you didn't do anything."
"I never do housework."
"If you help me wipe the dust off, I'll let the elevator issue drop."
"You said it yourself!"
Shu Ningran excitedly grabbed a rag and started wiping away the dust, but it took her a while to realize what was happening.
That's not right.
Now that I have caught Xu Yuan's U9, I can accuse him of treating his own car and other people's cars differently, thus wiping the slate clean of the elevator incident.
How come he's working as his assistant now?
But then Shu Ningran thought again, and realized that this would turn the situation from her being in the wrong to Xu Yuan being in the wrong.
He should be the one feeling embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Shu Ningran became even more motivated.
They wiped the tables and chairs until they shone with oil.
Because the shop faces south, some sunlight shines in throughout the day, only the direction is different in the morning and afternoon.
Shu Ningran works diligently under the sun, showcasing the vitality of youth.
Xu Yuan glanced at Shu Ningran occasionally. In fact, compared to many rich kids, her personality and habits were quite good.
Do things in a down-to-earth and proactive way.
Instead of wasting life on crazy fun or making unrealistic and wasteful investments.
Half an hour later.
Shu Ningran finally finished her work.
"Shu Ningran, you've got some skills." Xu Yuan brought over a cup of milk tea and placed it in front of Shu Ningran. "I'm starting to look at you in a new light. You cleaned even better than a professional cleaner."
Shu Ningran picked up her milk tea, giving a nonchalant look: "My mom has OCD and forced me to clean my room since I was little, so I developed that habit."
Snore!
Shu Ningran slurped up a big mouthful of milk tea, and the next moment, she was like a cat smelling cat treats or a male dog seeing a female dog: "What... what is this?"
This is so delicious! Oh my god! The texture...
Absolutely amazing! Absolutely amazing!
Xu Yuan smiled but remained silent.
The milk coffee here is terrible. If it weren't for wanting a taste of what he wanted, would Xu Yuan have bothered to open a shop himself?
"This aroma... this soft and glutinous thing must be taro cake?" Shu Ningran discerned some flavor.
"Wow! You're an expert." Xu Yuan nodded.
"This rich aroma of rice...the texture is firm and smooth, is it glutinous rice?"
"Pretty much, rice mochi, made from glutinous rice."
"This is a flavor that's a mix of milk and tea. Is it milk tea from Taiwan? But the taste is completely different."
"The earliest milk tea originated in Qinghai and Tibet and spread to other places via the Silk Road. The origin of modern commercial milk tea does indeed come from Taiwan, but they lack change and their products are updated very slowly."
"This tea looks like Longjing?"
"Good taste."
"So what's the name of this milk tea?"
"Longjing glutinous rice and taro ball milk tea. My qingtuan (green glutinous rice dumplings) haven't arrived yet. If I replace the taro balls with qingtuan, the flavor will be more in line with this season."
"Qingtuan? Wow! I can't even imagine how delicious this could be. How did you come up with the idea of putting all these things together? It's amazing!"
"It's just parroting what others have said."
"You're being modest. I've never heard of any milk tea shop that makes it like that. By the way, the Orange C Americano you made for An Xue is also one of a kind."
Xu Yuan didn't explain further: "As long as it tastes good."
"I've made up my mind!" Shu Ningran took a deep breath, her small chest heaving. "I want to work part-time at your shop!"
"what?"
