"We were talking about how our shop is going to hold a special event! Yes, that’s what it was."

She finished with a firm nod.

Fu Ze: ’Is that really the point?’

"Miss Yun, does Old Lu know you’re like this?"

Fu Ze figured that if Lu Yunque saw this, his reaction would probably be even bigger than his own.

Yun Zijin had no idea just how shocking her actions were to them.

Yun Zijin blinked. "If you don’t say anything, and I don’t say anything, how will he ever know? President Fu, you know what should and shouldn’t be said, don’t you?"

Fu Ze knew Yun Zijin was threatening him.

But he hadn’t won her over yet, and he was still counting on Yun Zijin to help him get on Qin Sitong’s good side. In the end, he had no choice but to compromise.

"You were just saying the shop is holding a special event?"

With the previous matter settled, Fu Ze turned his attention to the shop’s new event.

’To get on her good side, I could contribute in some small way to the new event,’ he thought.

"It’s a special promotion, mainly for our female customers."

The implication being, ’You probably can’t help.’

Besides, there wasn’t much Slimming Beauty Goddess Tea to begin with. The special event would probably run out of stock after just a few days.

Fu Ze felt a twinge of disappointment, but he wasn’t about to give up.

"Well, if you need help with anything, feel free to contact me."

"Tongtong is basically in charge of everything at the shop, so just contact her if you need anything.

By the way, what brings you here today? We’re already sold out of Wangyou Milk Tea for the day."

Yun Zijin assumed that after trying Wangyou Milk Tea last time, Fu Ze couldn’t stop thinking about it and had come back in person to buy more.

"I had a business meeting nearby and was just passing by, so I thought I’d drop in."

Of course, Fu Ze wasn’t about to admit he had come specifically on the weekend. He had even been hoping that if the shop was busy, he could experience the feeling of "fighting side by side" with Qin Sitong.

He never expected to walk in on Yun Zijin teasing Qin Sitong.

Now it seemed "fighting side by side" was off the table. He’d have to guard against fire, thieves... and best friends.

Fu Ze now realized that this "best friend," Yun Zijin, was a major stumbling block on his path to winning Qin Sitong’s heart.

"We should have enough ingredients left for a cup or two. If you’d like one, I can go make it for you?"

Qin Sitong lowered her voice so the other customers wouldn’t hear.

They had a daily limit of 200 cups. Even if there were leftover ingredients, Qin Sitong would never make more for customers.

Toward the end of the day, if she was still at the shop, she would use up the rest to make drinks for the staff to take home.

If she wasn’t there, the leftovers would just be thrown out, and they would get fresh ingredients the next day.

Alternatively, if the staff didn’t mind, she would use the previous day’s leftovers to make drinks for them when she came in the next morning.

Getting to drink free Wangyou Milk Tea, of course the staff wouldn’t mind.

The shop’s refrigeration was so good that even overnight ingredients were still quite fresh.

It was only because Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong insisted on using the freshest ingredients daily that this rule existed.

Still, the excess was usually just enough for one or two cups, a level of waste that was within Qin Sitong’s acceptable limits.

"Yes, please. Thank you."

Fu Ze flashed a smile at Qin Sitong. Between his anti-radiation, gold-rimmed glasses and his immaculate suit, he was the spitting image of a sophisticated scoundrel.

Qin Sitong felt herself bewitched by his smile, and her heart began to beat much faster.

However, Qin Sitong had a very clear sense of her own place in the world. She quickly shook off the feeling, got up, and went to the prep area to make his Wangyou Milk Tea.

"Boss, why are you making it now? If other customers see, they might complain."

None of the staff dared to drink Wangyou Milk Tea during their shifts; they always waited until after closing, once all the customers had left.

But if Qin Sitong started making it now, the customers would see her.

They had just finished telling everyone that the Wangyou Milk Tea was sold out for the day.

"If any customers ask, just tell them my friends are here and that I’d reserved these two cups for them."

’As the boss, what’s wrong with pulling a few strings for a friend? Nothing at all.’

Once Qin Sitong gave the order, the staff knew what to say. Still, they felt a pang of regret—their share of today’s Wangyou Milk Tea was gone.

When Qin Sitong returned with two cups of Wangyou Milk Tea, Yun Zijin was looking at the calendar on her phone.

"Tongtong, come take a look. When should we hold this special promotion?"

It was nearly the end of October. Yun Zijin had scrolled through the calendar but couldn’t find a date that felt right.

"It’s mid-October now. How about we schedule it for around the end of November? Let me see... the 28th is Thanksgiving. What about... we do it then?"

Qin Sitong barely glanced at the calendar before setting the date for Thanksgiving.

Yun Zijin, however, was just happy to have someone else make the decision. Without any hesitation, she agreed and finalized the date.

Fu Ze sat nearby, watching the two of them set the event date so casually.

’He had to admit, just watching them gave him a headache. It was a miracle of good luck that these two had managed to make the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop a success.’

"Since it’s a special event, have you thought about decorations? You’ll want the customers to see that something is different from usual."

Fu Ze was worried they would just pick a date, do nothing else, and try to run the event just like that.

Sure enough, as soon as Fu Ze finished speaking, both Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong paused.

"I guess... we do need to do something to let people know we’re holding an event."

Yun Zijin had no business experience herself. Even with the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop, she had only made Wangyou Milk Tea for the first three days after the grand opening.

She hadn’t been involved since. She truly had no experience when it came to preparing for a shop event.

Qin Sitong was in a similar boat, so both of them turned to look at Fu Ze.

"Mr. Fu, do you have any suggestions?"

Since Qin Sitong was responsible for running the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop, she took the initiative and asked for his input.

At that moment, Yun Zijin tactfully stayed quiet, letting Fu Ze give his suggestions to Qin Sitong.

"I don’t know the specifics of your special promotion."

’He could certainly offer suggestions,’ he thought, ’but he didn’t even know what the promotion was about. Asking him for advice was like asking him to pull a full-blown marketing plan out of thin air.’

Speaking of the promotion, Yun Zijin suddenly remembered that she had Zero One bring over all of their stock of the Slimming Beauty Goddess Tea.

Even the canister she had already opened and drunk from was included.

The Slimming Beauty Goddess Tea was, in fact, just tea leaves, but they weren’t like any ordinary tea.

The leaves of the Slimming Beauty Goddess Tea were a silvery-blue color. Each leaf was tightly rolled, and you only needed to use one leaf per cup of water.

Yun Zijin guessed that the secret to this Baonu Tea was in its roasting process.

Otherwise, with such a simple, foolproof brewing method—one leaf per cup—anyone who found the same type of tea leaves would be able to replicate the Slimming Beauty Goddess Tea.
