The next few days of vacation passed by fruitfully for Wang Yue.
He abandoned his original plan of having the employees come on the 8th. Instead, he called them to the milk tea shop on the 6th. They first signed their contracts and then began training.
The quality of service greatly impacts a customer's perception, especially in the service industry. Therefore, Wang Yue primarily focused on training in customer service attitudes and milk tea preparation. For common milk tea recipes, Wang Yue delegated the training to Liu Qingxia, who was well-versed in these matters from her three years as a store manager.
The milk tea recipe provided by the system was the core competitive advantage of Wang Yue's milk tea shop. While the preparation steps were similar to ordinary milk tea, the secret lay in the ingredients, which resulted in an unprecedentedly good taste. Wang Yue named this milk tea "Mercury." Since Wang Yue had already prepared the ingredients, the staff only needed to add them to the milk tea, thus preventing any risk of them learning proprietary secrets.
And so, in the blink of an eye, it was the 8th. School officially resumed, and "Mercury Tales" also opened its doors.
The morning passed quickly. During the lunch break, Wang Yue called over the students who needed part-time jobs to the entrance of the milk tea shop. They were all captivated by the avant-garde design of the shop. Numerous flower baskets, ordered by Wang Yue, adorned the entrance. The employees, dressed in uniform attire, wore sweet smiles, creating a visually pleasing scene.
"Boss, you're here," Liu Qingxia emerged from the shop, greeting him with a smile.
"Boss?!"
"What did that sister just call Wang Yue? Boss?!"
"This shop belongs to Wang Yue? It looks amazing."
"Holy cow! That's impressive!"
Everyone was stunned, their gazes filled with surprise as they looked at Wang Yue. They had never imagined that this shop belonged to him! Qiao Zixuan, though already aware, was still taken aback. She was particularly impressed by the shop's design, which was far superior to other milk tea shops. Compared to it, even the previously acclaimed "Bifengtang" seemed ordinary.
Wang Yue smiled and said, "Don't be too surprised, everyone. It's just a small venture." He then produced a thick stack of flyers. "Thank you for your hard work. Please distribute these flyers throughout the entire campus. Afterwards, I'll treat you to milk tea." Wang Yue had also printed an additional two thousand flyers, ensuring they had enough to cover the whole school.
The students were filled with enthusiasm, eager to earn money. After receiving the flyers, they rushed back to school, fanning out to different classes and dormitories to distribute them.
Although Wang Yue was the boss, he also pitched in. He paired up with Qiao Zixuan to distribute flyers specifically to the senior year students.
"Wang Yue, I honestly didn't expect your milk tea shop to be so well-decorated. I thought it would be some kind of small stall," Qiao Zixuan said. On QQ, she affectionately called Wang Yue "Pig Head," but face-to-face, she felt a bit shy and usually addressed him by his name.
"I'm aiming for something big. In the future, my milk tea shops will be all over the country," Wang Yue replied with a smile.
"Then, if I really get into a university in Modu, make sure you open a branch there, okay? So I can still taste home when I'm in Modu," Qiao Zixuan said with a smile.
"No problem! How was your trip to Modu this time?" Wang Yue inquired.
"I visited Fudan's campus, and it strengthened my resolve to get into Fudan. Overall, it was good, but..." Qiao Zixuan hesitated, appearing as if she had something more to say.
"But what?" Wang Yue handed a flyer to a passing student. "Classmate, Mercury Tales is celebrating its grand opening with a buy-one-get-one-free offer on milk tea!"
"It's nothing," Qiao Zixuan shook her head and also began distributing flyers with a smile.
The lunch break was two hours long, but the students completed their task in just one hour. Upon returning to the milk tea shop, Wang Yue fulfilled his promise. Everyone received a cup of "Mercury." Those trying it for the first time were full of praise.
"Wow! This taste is incredible. I've never had such delicious milk tea before."
"It's really good, a flavor I've never experienced."
"With this taste alone, I'm sure Wang Yue's milk tea shop will be a huge hit!"
"Still calling him Wang Yue? We should call him Boss Wang from now on!"
Since most of them hadn't eaten lunch yet, Wang Yue treated them to a meal. He then settled their wages. The students, upon receiving their money, were overjoyed and lavished Wang Yue with compliments.
Qiao Zixuan declined Wang Yue's payment, as she didn't need the money. After returning to the classroom, Qiao Zixuan took out a beautifully packaged Dragon Ball figurine from her desk and gave it to Wang Yue.
"I bought this in Modu. I originally wanted to give it to you the day I returned, but you were too busy, so I only have time today. Do you like it?"
Wang Yue accepted the box. Just by looking at the packaging, he knew the figurine was not cheap. Qiao Zixuan watched him expectantly; she had spent a lot of time carefully selecting this gift. Wang Yue indeed showed a happy smile. "How did you know I like Dragon Ball?"
"Of course, I know," Qiao Zixuan said with a proud hum and skipped back to her seat.
Hu Qianhao, standing nearby, winked and said, "Yo, a love token from the class monitor! Brother Yue, I'm so envious!"
"No need to be envious," Wang Yue replied with a smile. "How's your pursuit of An Ran going?"
Mentioning An Ran caused Hu Qianhao's face to fall, and he lost the mood to tease Wang Yue. "Sigh, no progress. I really feel like An Ran likes me too, but she's always evasive, never getting too close, yet not too far. Plus, I've seen her chatting happily with other guys. Brother Yue, can you teach me how to win An Ran over?"
Wang Yue pondered for a moment and then said, "It's no use!" An Ran's level was too high for Hu Qianhao to handle.
Just as Hu Qianhao was about to say something more, a girl's scream came from the back row: "Gu Zhi! How can you be so shameless?!"
The attention of the entire class was drawn to them. Here it comes! The scene from his previous life. Du Mengjie was grabbing Gu Zhi's collar and hitting him repeatedly, her face flushed with anger. Wang Yue knew that this was the moment Gu Zhi's two-timing was exposed. Although Du Mengjie was usually quiet, she could be quite fierce when enraged.
Gu Zhi impatiently retorted, "Are you done? So many eyes are watching. If you have no shame, I do!" Du Mengjie reached out to scratch Gu Zhi's face. "What did you tell me back then? And you still have the audacity to talk about shame when you cheated?" Gu Zhi, after being scratched, also got angry and pushed Du Mengjie to the ground. "Get lost! You crazy woman."
