The Only Normal Person: You're just jealous and envious, after all, my Chuan Chuan is the most handsome man in this group!
The Most Handsome in the Universe: Haha!
The Most Domineering CEO in History: Haha!
The Strongest Female Singer on Earth: Yuchuan is indeed the most handsome!
Lou Xi: I agree.
The Only Normal Person: See! The public eye is discerning!
-: ......
The Only Normal Person: @-, don't worry, I'll protect you from being bullied by them. Have you eaten yet?
-: I'm eating now.
The Only Normal Person: Me too, today I have my favorite braised fish chunks.
-: Then eat more.
The Only Normal Person: Love you JPG
The Most Handsome in the Universe: This is a group chat, please private message if you have something to say!
The Most Domineering CEO in History: I can't bear to watch this!
The Strongest Female Singer on Earth: I unilaterally declare that you two are locked in!
Lou Xi: ......
The Strongest Female Singer on Earth: Yuchuan, do you have time this Saturday night? Let's all get together.
The Only Normal Person: Mom, he's very busy, and he's still in Sea City. How could he come back just for a meal?
-: Saturday night, I can make it.
The Strongest Female Singer on Earth: Then it's happily decided!
The Only Normal Person: ......
Feng Qingyi quickly returned to her private chat with Qin Yuchuan.
[Qingyi: Are you not busy on Saturday night? If it's inconvenient, don't force yourself. You can just refuse directly.]
[Yuchuan: I'm free, and moreover, it's your mother's invitation. How could I not go?]
[Qingyi: How did you know that was my mom?]
[Yuchuan: It's just a few people, easy to tell.]
[Qingyi: Then you're quite clever!]
[Yuchuan: Your family members are all very interesting, and their names are interesting too.]
[Qingyi: ...... They're just fun nicknames we casually chose. You can also give yourself a nickname, like "The Strongest General"!]
[Yuchuan: I can't live up to the words "The Strongest" yet.]
[Qingyi: It's just a nickname, no need to take it so seriously. My brother even calls himself "The Most Handsome in the Universe", how exaggerated is that!]
[Yuchuan: Mm, eat your meal quickly, or the food will get cold if we keep chatting.]
[Qingyi: Alright, let's talk later. You eat well too.]
...
The days at school passed as usual, very peacefully.
Soon it was Friday, and Feng Qingyi rushed to Shengjing as soon as her classes were over. She had arranged to meet Xu Linghe at the teahouse on Friday.
When she arrived at the teahouse, Xu Linghe was already there, along with the shop assistants, accountant, tea masters, and cook she had hired.
"Qingyi, you're finally here. I've instructed people to prepare all the things we need to buy for the teahouse. What did you say we were going to do today?" Xu Linghe asked.
Feng Qingyi: "Today we're going to test if the tea and pastries here suit everyone's taste. We'll invite them for free tasting and ask for some suggestions for improvement."
Xu Linghe: "If that's the case, a lot of people will surely come, and we might end up spending more than we earn."
"We don't need to make a big fuss about it. We'll just select some people from the street to taste, no need to spread the word," Feng Qingyi said.
Xu Linghe nodded, "Alright then, I'll tell them to start working. Let's go to the street to find people."
"Mm, and let's also promote our grand opening tomorrow," Feng Qingyi added.
The location of Peng Lai Residence was quite prosperous, and there were many passersby as soon as they stepped out. The two easily attracted a batch of customers.
"Is your teahouse really free?"
"You're not tricking us to go in and then make us pay, are you?"
Feng Qingyi smiled and explained to them: "Our teahouse hasn't officially opened yet. We'd like to invite you in for a tasting and give us some suggestions for improvement."
With Feng Qingyi's explanation, several passersby followed them in.
The pastries made in the kitchen and the brewed tea were gradually brought out. After eating and drinking, everyone gave some of their own suggestions.
Feng Qingyi recorded all of these, and fortunately, there were no major problems with the tea and pastries for now.
However, these teas and pastries were too conventional, almost every teahouse had them. If this was the case, it probably wouldn't attract too many people.
"Qingyi, what's wrong? They all said it's quite good, why do you still look worried?" Xu Linghe asked.
Feng Qingyi: "Our tea and pastries are the same as other teahouses. This way, we don't have any advantage."
"Except for passersby and people living nearby, no one will come to this teahouse."
Xu Linghe: "But every teahouse is like this. The tea masters and pastry chefs I hired have all worked in teahouses before."
Feng Qingyi: "If we want to stand out, we must be different from other teahouses. But we don't have enough time now."
"Tomorrow I will bring some novel pastries to give away to customers for free, and gradually introduce some new teas and snacks later."
"Let's call it a day. It's getting late now, I'll treat everyone to a meal. After eating, everyone should go home and rest well. We'll officially open early tomorrow morning."
The teahouse had one accountant, three shop assistants, two tea masters, and one cook, plus Xu Linghe and Feng Qingyi, making nine people in total. They all went to a nearby restaurant together.
Everyone was flattered by Feng Qingyi's treat, as they had never enjoyed such treatment before.
"Don't be shy, everyone. Order whatever you want, it's my treat today."
"From today on, we're one big family. Let's work hard together to earn big money."
"Everyone, enjoy a good meal today and work hard tomorrow."
The accountant Li Yi said: "Don't worry, young ladies. We will certainly do our best."
The dinner table was full of joy, and everyone ate with relish.
Half an hour later, the crowd dispersed. Xu Linghe walked beside Feng Qingyi.
"Qingyi, I feel like you're different from the people here."
"Oh, how so?"
Xu Linghe thought for a moment, "It seems that in your eyes, all people are equal. Actually, you and they are just in an employer-employee relationship, you don't need to be like this. But you treat them to meals and chat with them casually."
"Here, few people would do this. After all, merchants value profit. They're just hired workers. You pay money, they provide labor, that's all."
"...... Then I might not be a qualified merchant. In my eyes, indeed all people are equal." After all, she lived in a world where everyone was equal.
Xu Linghe: "Although I don't understand your thinking, I support you."
"You should go back and rest too. See you tomorrow. I still need to go back and prepare some food," Feng Qingyi said.
Xu Linghe: "Then let's part ways here. See you tomorrow!"
