Full-time girlfriend: Why would you work when I am here?

A few days after the Qingming Festival, new regulations on tea production were officially announced.

With Murong Xue as their strong support who had leaked the news to them early on, the three milk tea brothers were not at all panicked.

Wu Qiming found a big editor from a company to cut and splice the materials, and with the help of his family, he fanned the flames, using the name of tea safety to stir up the market. He also asked his family to cooperate with several people's livelihood TV stations in many places to expose some negative news about inferior tea, which successfully attracted a wave of attention.

Shen Ci seized this opportunity and frantically worked with the gift box factory to advance the design process. He also designed some cute little pendants in the shape of young tea buds. At the request of Song Pingqing, he placed icons of little foxes and little tigers in the gaps between the tea leaves.

"Why do we put these two icons? They don't seem to have anything to do with our brand name." Shen Ci asked.

"Strengthen public memory and facilitate future IP linkage." Song Pingqing answered casually.

Shen Ci didn't fully understand, and nodded as if he understood.

Of course, another reason is that Murong Xue has already drawn these patterns, so why bother designing new ones? It would be a waste if they are not used.

There is absolutely no intention of pampering here!

Song Pingqing was in charge of store affairs. He ordered a small TV in each store to play videos of the Shan'ao Village Tea Factory in a loop. He also asked Chen Pu to customize display boards. After completing all the formalities, he posted copies of paper documents at the store entrance as posters for public display.

"You installed these small TVs, but they will be useless once this storm is over," Chen Pu suggested. "It's better to just make display boards."

"It's okay. I have my own plans." Song Pingqing chuckled, thinking of some very interesting university cafeterias in his previous life, and added: "When this storm is over, let them play the cartoon of Tom and Jerry."

"Ah?" Chen Pu didn't understand and was greatly shocked.

No, are all kids doing business so outrageous nowadays?

"Just do it." Song Pingqing was too lazy to explain, "Prepare well for your exam."

When the market is booming, some people rise and some fall. After inferior and moldy tea leaves were exposed by livelihood channels in many places, Mixue Yuecha's milk tea business was also seriously affected.

Although this impact caused their income to plummet, this was part of their plan.

After the small TV was installed and the promotional video started playing, Wu Qiming used his family's connections to guide the people from the TV stations that had reported on the safety issues of inferior tea to come to Mixue Yuecha for promotional filming, and at the end of the program, he listed the addresses of current stores and stores that are about to open.

The traces of this kind of marketing are actually very obvious, but at that time TV programs and newspapers were still the main sources of information for the public, and there was no online platform for everyone to gather together to discuss, so all in all, the benefits far outweighed the disadvantages.

It just cost a lot of money to build relationships with the TV station, and it was difficult to account for the money. Chen Pu was not a skilled financial staff member, and he was overwhelmed when he entered the money into the accounts.

Following the broadcast of the TV program, Mixue Yuecha’s store business became very popular.

Song Pingqing seized the opportunity and organized a promotion: the second cup was half price, and buying a cup entitles one to a lucky draw. The prize pool included various rewards such as small pendants, small dolls, another cup, an ice cream cone, etc.

The event lasted for a month, and the entrance of Mixue Yuecha became bustling almost overnight. There was even a point in the morning when people were already queuing at the door before the clerk started to make tea.

Such a bustling business, such profitable shops and stores, of course, are coveted by some small people.

"Boss, Mixue Yuecha is very popular recently. Do you think we can get involved in this business?" While his boss was away doing business, an assistant queued up at Mixue Yuecha and bought two glasses of lemonade. At this time, he very flatteringly opened the remaining cup and handed it to his boss with both hands.

"Can you make money?" His boss narrowed his eyes and glanced at the Mixue Yuecha store not far away. "There's still a queue."

He took the lemonade and took a sip.

The temperature in Jincheng City in May is not very high, but when the wind blows, apart from a faint smell of dampness, there is already a slight sense of warmth.

There weren't many ice cubes in Mixue Yuecha's lemonade. Just shaking it made a slight gurgling sound. After taking a sip, the young boss felt refreshed. Looking at the admiring eyes of his henchman, he pretended to be calm: "Well, it's okay."

"Then let me check who is the owner of Mixue Yuecha? Can we buy it back and take control of it?" The henchman made a gesture of taking control.

The young boss didn't deny it, so the henchman thought he agreed and immediately slipped out to work.

Song Pingqing had informed Chen Pu long ago that "Mixue Yuecha would be coveted by certain people", so when Chen Pu received a call saying that someone in the store said there was a fly in the drinks they bought, Chen Pu immediately realized: someone is looking for trouble!

It was 4:30 in the afternoon, the time when primary school students were finishing classes and leaving school. The store that was the target of the disturbance was Liudian, and there were many people gathered at the door.

This time was not Song Pingqing's rest time. Chen Pu hesitated for a moment and did not call Song Pingqing. Instead, he contacted one of the local media that came to shoot a few days ago.

It was a reporter from Wujia Media Company and also Wu Qiming's man.

When Chen Pu arrived, the store clerk had already called the police.

When the two scoundrels saw Chen Pu, one of them immediately tilted his neck and raised his head nonchalantly, put his hands in his pockets and looked at him with his nose up: "Are you the boss of Mixue Yuecha?"

"I'm not the boss, but I can make the decision," Chen Pu replied.

"Can you make the decision? Sure! Today, my friend and I bought a drink from you, and there was a fly in it. What do you think we should do with it?"

Chen Pu still maintained a decent smile: "Can I see the drink you bought?"

The man rolled his eyes and said, "Let me take it and you can see it. Who knows if you will deliberately destroy the evidence if you take it away."

Chen Pu was not afraid and nodded: "It is reasonable for you to have such concerns."

The little bastard patted his companion on the shoulder and said, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you show it to the boss?"

Chen Pu glanced at the number on it and said to the employees in the room, "Number 0742! Now go and pull up the surveillance footage of this drink!"

The two hooligans were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "You have to know your limits when it comes to lying. Your surveillance cameras aren't focused on the store, are they focused on the operating table?"

"Is there someone causing trouble somewhere?"

Before Chen Pu had time to explain, Uncle Hat had already arrived.

"This way!" Chen Pu answered loudly, then looked at the two hooligans and said with a smile, "You are right, our surveillance is indeed on the console."

When Song Pingqing learned about this from Wu Qiming, he had already returned from evening training.

Before the agreed contact time with the two employees, Song Pingqing learned about this matter three hours later than Wu Qiming.

Wu Qiming was very happy: "This is really a live advertisement delivered to our door. When we broadcast the footage on TV tomorrow, everyone will know that our drinks are super safe!"

"That's not the most important thing." Song Pingqing listened to his description, but he was not in a hurry to be happy. He looked at Wu Qiming with a questioning look in his eyes, "Are those two people who came to cause trouble just to extort compensation?"

"Ah..." Wu Qiming was silent for a moment, "I didn't think in that direction. I'll ask someone to check it out right now."

The Shen family has fallen, and the newly emerged Song family has not yet established a firm foothold. Although the Wu family is far less powerful than the Murong family in Jincheng, it is also ranked at the forefront. If Wu Qiming says he can investigate, then he can investigate.

Song Pingqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart: When doing business, the strength and background of the partners are indeed very important.

"Well, it's more reliable to leave this kind of thing to you." Song Pingqing encouraged.

Shen Ci thought for a moment: "Are they looking for trouble because they are interested in the business of the store? What should we do after we find out who did it?"

"Listen to your brother." Wu Qiming immediately passed the ball to Song Pingqing.

Song Pingqing: "They are using this method to steal our business. How can their business be clean? Find a few victims to back them up, expose them, contact lawyers, there are many ways to deal with them."

Song Pingqing spoke word by word: "We need to spread the news and let them know that we are not easy to bully."

"Great!" Wu Qiming cheered, "Let's do it!"

Not long after the three milk tea brothers finished their meeting, Song Pingqing had just returned to his room when he received a call from Chen Pu.

Chen Pu reported everything in detail: "The two people who came to cause trouble have been detained on the grounds of provoking trouble. What do you mean?"

"Let's just do what needs to be done." Song Pingqing said, "You handled this matter very well today. Just be responsible for cleaning up the mess."

Chen Pu and her old village chief grandmother have very similar working styles.

No wonder President Murong Ba likes to check two generations back when selecting people. It is so practical.

A month passed quickly, and after facing a security crisis again, Mixue Yuecha, which took a different approach by adding surveillance cameras on the workbench, became popular again.

Originally, many people were jealous of Mixue Yuecha's business, and many pirated and imitation stores were opened. However, after Song Pingqing's operation, everyone knew that the difference between genuine and pirated products lies not only in the ingredients, but also in the monitoring of the workbench and the food safety guarantee of one cup and one video. The pirated stores suffered a business slump and faced the crisis of bankruptcy.

How great is this? We didn't sue them and they went bankrupt on their own. Not only did we save on lawyer fees, but it also saved us a lot of trouble.

Song Pingqing placed the computer on the coffee table, put a small cushion on the carpet, and sat cross-legged as he read the report sent by Chen Pu.

Over the past month, Mixue Yuecha's store sales have skyrocketed, even more than doubling the turnover before the tea production standards incident.

One store is the most powerful. As the only Mixue Yuecha store in the university town, its monthly sales are close to 300,000.

"How cruel." Song Pingqing exhaled and murmured softly, "I feel like we can open another store in the university town to divert the traffic. The current price is three hundred thousand a month, and the flow of people in the store is too scary. Eh??? No, four hundred thousand, doesn't that mean they have to sell ten thousand every day? What the hell? Ten thousand a day at this crappy price??? Are the employees of this store working 24 hours a day?"

Their most expensive drink is less than 10 yuan. Even if people add toppings, 10,000 yuan would cost at least 2,000 drinks a day, right? ?

Aren't there only six people in each store now? ? ? They work in two shifts, each group works seven hours, and the business is open from 8 am to 10 pm.

Song Pingqing immediately called Chen Pu, his tone already slightly cold: "Give me the full turnover of the store this month."

"Okay, boss." Chen Pu responded quickly, and ten minutes later, the transaction was sent to Song Pingqing's email.

As Song Pingqing guessed, the six employees of this store really worked around the clock for a month, with each group working 6+6 hours a day.

Song Pingqing was furious. Damn it! They had been working non-stop for a month. It was a blessing for the company that these people didn’t die suddenly! ! ! !

"I asked you to manage personnel, and this is how you do it?" When Song Pingqing called again, he could no longer hide the anger in his tone, "These six people in the store forced the store to open 24 hours a day, and you didn't notice it at all?"

Chen Pu's background was destined to limit her vision. She had noticed this problem early on, and was particularly happy because the store's turnover was high. She thought it was a manifestation of the employees' love for work.

Being scolded by Song Pingqing was like a blow to the head.

"The existing working hours have been disrupted. How will we manage it going forward? How will we manage the other stores?"

"Who will be responsible if an employee has health problems? Can you afford to pay for a life?"

Song Pingqing was so furious that his voice was so loud that it startled several people who were studying and doing homework in the room.

Song Pingqing has always been known for her gentle personality and stable emotions. As for Gu Zongnan, she even beats people with a smile on her face.

I never expected that she could be so harsh.

Song Pingqing was getting angry in the living room, and the children in the room were sending messages frantically in the small group.

Wu Qiming: The underworld is calling for help, brother is going crazy.

Shen Ci: Uh...it looks like he’s quite angry.

Wu Qiming: This should be about the milk tea shop. Should we go out and take a look?

Liu Junxi: Are you sure you dare to go out?

Shen Ci: Thank you for the invitation, but I dare not.

Gu Zongnian didn't live with them. He was lying on the sofa at home reading an extracurricular book. When he heard his phone buzzing, he thought there was something new and interesting. After reading the news, he immediately became excited: Big brother lost his temper? ! Why? ! Please ask reporter Wu to send the front-line report.

Wu Qiming: Do you think I dare to go out and get into trouble? I asked right away.

Shen Ci: Fifth brother, why don’t you come over and ask?

Wu Qiming had figured it out. He would only call Gu Zongnan "Fifth Brother" when Shen Ci wanted to trick Gu Zongnan.

Gu Zongnan: Thank you. Forget it. I am not as tough as reporter Wu, so I won’t join in the fun.

Murong Xue replied again: [Smile] [Smile] I'll go and see.

Gu Zongnan replied immediately: Sister is awesome.

Wu Qiming, Liu Junxi, Shen Ci: Xueer is mighty.

Gu Zongnan: You make me look stupid.
