Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 416 Little Qin, Who Loves to Play Tricks (5K)

The owner, Zeng Wenjie, also took a rare personal approach, arranging everything for the branch store.

Although Fu Qianzhu had experience as a store manager at the campus store of the entrepreneurship base, she still felt a little nervous about taking over such a large branch, fearing that she would let Zeng Wenjie down.

Chen Lianfang, the owner of the spicy snack factory, also tried to curry favor and helped out.

When Zeng Wenjie opens up franchising, who knows how many franchise stores will open across the country, the supply will be enormous!
Spicy strips have a fairly wide appeal.

If all the snack brands that are short of supplies in the future use their own spicy strips, I can't even imagine how much money they could make!

Then, Chen Lianfang, who had offered to help, also treated everyone to a meal.

Zeng Wenjie didn't hold back and ripped him off, but the meal made Chen Lianfang beam with joy, and she even wanted to arrange another one.

"Let's skip the next one for now. We need to conserve our energy for the grand opening tomorrow," Zeng Wenjie said with a smile.

"Alright then..." Chen Lianfang said with some regret, actually a little troubled by not being able to spend her money.

Fu Qianzhu earnestly invited Zeng Wenjie to visit the house she had rented for them.

Zeng Wenjie thought it was a good idea to see if their living conditions needed improvement.

Zeng Wenjie was quite willing to spend some money on Fu Qianzhu; this girl was really too frugal.

Even with a high salary and year-end bonus, they still work diligently, saving their money and not spending it recklessly, only buying necessities.

The most expensive thing I've bought recently is probably the designer razor I gave to Zeng Wenjie.

"Hmm? It's been rearranged, it looks nice, it has a warm and cozy feel to it!"

Zeng Wenjie was taken aback when he entered the rented room, then nodded in satisfaction.

Fu Qianzhu smiled and said, "I decorated it with Liu Xu and Liu Qi. They can't wait to move in, but I still want to stay in the dormitory until I graduate before moving out."

Zeng Wenjie said, "It's your freedom to live wherever you want! Living at school is good too, you'll have more friends."

Fu Qianzhu said, "I'll let you know when we move in. We'll cook a big meal here and invite everyone to eat and drink."

Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "Sure, I'm happy to freeload. Oh, by the way, I sold your house back home. But where will you stay when you go back to visit relatives?"

Fu Qianzhu said, "You can stay at your second uncle's house."

Zeng Wenjie thought for a moment and then asked, "Are you going back for Qingming Festival?"

Fu Qianzhu was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's talk about it then!"

She was afraid that if she went back and heard those negative comments, she would have a mental breakdown and be sad for several days.

Despite her seemingly strong appearance, she is actually quite passive and timid in this regard.

But this is only natural. To suffer such hardship as this, and to be able to grit your teeth and persevere, and to live a life that is truly remarkable.

The rented room was already furnished perfectly, even including tea for guests.

Fu Qianzhu asked Zeng Wenjie to sit on the sofa for a while, then went to make him some tea and brought out the ashtray she had specially bought.

"Haha, that's quite thoughtful, thank you for your hard work!" Zeng Wenjie happily lit a cigarette.

Fu Qianzhu said, "To be honest, I feel quite pressured to take charge of this branch myself."

Zeng Wenjie said, "It's just routine management, don't feel pressured. I'll figure out how to handle the marketing. Besides, it's not like you're going to have all the power. When you're too busy, I'll allocate more manpower to you."

Fu Qianzhu nodded gently and said, "I will try my best."

Zeng Wenjie said, "Once we've gathered all the members, I'll hold a meeting with you veterans to distribute some shares to you. That way, as the snack shop grows bigger and stronger, you'll all be able to receive high dividends every year."

Fu Qianzhu quickly waved her hand and said, "My salary and bonuses are already high enough to make people envious. There's no need to give me any more shares. I don't understand these things anyway."

Zeng Wenjie said, "You and Brother Ye have been with me from scratch. You've witnessed the growth of the snack shop, and the snack shop has accompanied your growth. I will still distribute the shares. As for whether you keep them for your own dividends or cash them out, I have no objection. These are benefits that I, as the boss, am giving to you veterans!"

"Hmm... It won't be a lot, but it'll be enough to ensure you have enough to eat and wear."

Fu Qianzhu pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Ye has worked the hardest, so you can share it with him."

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "Aren't you tired? Everyone else has gone home for the holidays, and you're the only one keeping the snack shop open!"

Fu Qianzhu then said, "Then I also received the reward I deserved. I got a share of the profits during the business period."

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but sigh. He had seen too many scheming women and bitches, and girls like Fu Qianzhu, who were simple, pure, and down-to-earth, were really too rare!

"Actually, I'm very happy to see the snack shop grow bigger and stronger, and I'm also very satisfied with my current salary," Fu Qianzhu said softly.

"You're satisfied, but I'm not! Hey, back then, those idiots thought I was courting death when they saw me open a snack shop, but you came to the shop to help me. I'm very grateful to you." Zeng Wenjie said with a cigarette in his mouth and a roguish look.

Fu Qianzhu smiled after hearing this, and said in a somewhat wistful tone, "Isn't it also because you took me in?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "In short, this is a wonderful story of mutual success!"

"Don't try to fool me. It's all thanks to your great ideas that the snack shop can make money," Fu Qianzhu pouted and said softly.

"Alright, alright, stop nagging! If you don't take these shares, how can they have the nerve to take them?" Zeng Wenjie said.

“Alright… but can I handle it myself?” Fu Qianzhu said softly.

Zeng Wenjie raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled, "It's best to keep it yourself. The annual dividends will be quite substantial. You probably don't know how much money you can make by becoming the largest chain of snack stores in the country."

Fu Qianzhu smiled, pursing her lips, and said, "I understand, I will cherish it."

In fact, Zeng Wenjie didn't plan to give away many shares.

But the future of snack shops is bright, with considerable potential. Even a one percent profit would be enough to ensure a comfortable life.

Zeng Wenjie is not short of money, and he would never mistreat his hardworking employees, especially Fu Qianzhu. Although he has never wronged her, he always thinks of taking extra care of her.

Beautiful women always have privileges; as long as they don't act out, they will always be loved.

“Let’s go back to school. We need to come back early tomorrow to open the gate,” Zeng Wenjie said.

"Okay, sure!" Fu Qianzhu quickly agreed.

The next day, the branch store was filled with flower baskets, all delivered by various manufacturers.

Ye Qiansheng came over early in the morning to put up Lao Xie's poster, as well as some advertising slogans in conjunction with "The Voice of China". As long as you buy snacks at the snack store and reach a certain amount, you can participate in a lucky draw and have a chance to win "The Voice of China" merchandise.

"Chef Nic" snacks also have a promotion: participate in a lucky draw to win a signed item from Nicholas Tse.

Zeng Wenjie was clearly too lazy to waste time with the surrounding snack shops, so on the first day of opening, he made a big move by collaborating with the hottest music variety show at the moment, "The Voice of China".

Last winter, he had the toy factory produce a lot of merchandise, just in time to use it when the snack shop expands.

Although lotteries are a cliché, they're undeniably useful...

To put it more broadly, ten years from now, which of Tencent's mobile games won't have a massive lottery system? And they'll be huge rip-offs, throwing thousands of dollars into the water and getting nothing in return!
The off-campus store was handed over to the newly recruited staff today, and Liu Xu, Liu Qi, Fu Qianzhu, and Shi Jing all came to help out at the new store.

Because the off-campus store did not launch any marketing campaigns in conjunction with "The Voice of China".

It was still early, so everyone was nervously waiting in the store, hoping for the first customer to arrive.

The campus store I opened before was basically a joke; it was purely about taking advantage of the school's resources and making a few hundred yuan a day for nothing.

This branch on Hospital Road is, in the strictest sense, the first branch!
Therefore, Ye Qiansheng and Fu Qianzhu once again felt the tension and anticipation of opening the store for the first time.

Ye Qiansheng, in particular, barely slept all night. He knew that the first shot of this branch was closely related to the subsequent expansion. If it could be a resounding success, the boss's plan could be smoothly implemented.

If we don't play well, many plans will fall through...

He's very anxious!

Ye Yixuan is about to be transferred to Guzhou County to manage her own affairs, and her achievements are getting higher and higher. If he doesn't make some good progress, how can he catch up? How can he embarrass his good sister?
Zeng Wenjie squatted at the doorway, holding a bowl of oily local specialty Changwang noodles. He glanced sideways at the foolish Ou Doudou before burying his head in slurping the noodles.

As the birthplace of "The Voice of China," Fengzhou's citizens admire and love the show more than those in other places.

As a top-tier music variety show comparable to the neighboring "Super Girl," its influence is undeniable. Once the crowd thickens, people will naturally come into the store to make purchases. Besides, it's the weekend, so there are many young people who aren't in class or working.

"He's still as calm as ever!" Fu Qianzhu couldn't help but laugh and cry when she saw Zeng Wenjie's expression.

Liu Xu said, "It's already eight o'clock, why hasn't anyone come yet? I'm so worried, are we going to come here and find nothing?"

Shi Jing advised, "Sister Liu Xu, don't worry, there will definitely be customers! 'The Voice of China' is such a good show, it has a huge fan base. Once the flow of people increases, some people will come into the store to browse."

Zeng Wenjie threw the empty takeout bowl into the trash can, wiped his mouth, then took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and said with a grin, "You don't trust the boss, but don't you trust the influence of the four celebrity mentors?"

After saying this, he glanced at the handsome photo of Lao Xie pasted on the window and felt even more that they were evenly matched.

Liu Qi said, "I think the boss has more influence. Why don't we set up a sound system and have him sing a rap? That would definitely attract customers!"

Zeng Wenjie rolled his eyes at her and said disdainfully, "Are you treating your boss like a monkey?"

Then, the first guest appeared.

She was a woman dressed casually, with short, straight hair and light makeup. Her clothes and style were very tasteful, making her instantly recognizable as a "high-quality woman".

"You didn't even notify us when you opened your new store?"

The woman walked up to Zeng Wenjie and asked with a smile.

Everyone was startled, then Fu Qianzhu remembered and said, "Isn't that the host from the State Administration of Radio and Television who went to 'Village BA' for an interview?"

She pays close attention to Zeng Wenjie, and often watches news about him, sometimes several times.

For example, she watched Zeng Wenjie's speech at a conference held by the education department three times.

Zeng Wenjie was also taken aback, then stood up and said with a smile, "Sister Yan, what brings you here?"

Yan Xinyi shrugged and said, "I finished all the work in Niushou City, so I came to Fengzhou for a visit! Then I heard about your new store opening, so I came here to patronize it."

Zeng Wenjie cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Welcome, welcome! I never expected my first customer to be a beautiful host from the General Administration! This is a great start; my business is sure to boom from here on out."

Ye Qiansheng stared intently at Yan Xinyi.

He felt that the person in front of him deserved a score of 95!

Who got a perfect score?

The foolish older sister Ye Yixuan, and the proprietress Mu Qingyang.

Although he was determined to embarrass Ye Yixuan, Ye Qiansheng was still certain that Ye Yixuan was a top-tier beauty and deserved a perfect score from him.

If it were any other girl, she would probably be instantly annoyed, but Yan Xinyi was already used to being stared at like that, so she remained calm.

"Shall I go into the store and choose something?" Yan Xinyi asked.

“Okay.” Zeng Wenjie threw away his cigarette butt and led the way.

He led Yan Xinyi into the store to shop, and casually asked, "Did you come alone, Sister Yan, or with your whole team?"

Yan Xinyi asked, "You came with the team, what's wrong?"

"Just a casual question."

Zeng Wenjie responded with a smile.

Sure enough, Senior Qin is up to her old tricks again.
Clearly, Yan Xinyi and her team must have arrived earlier than today; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to appear so precisely at the entrance of the newly opened "Snack Panic" branch on Hospital Road so early in the morning.

However, Qin Yixuan did not mention her whereabouts to Zeng Wenjie. Perhaps she did not expect that Yan Xinyi would actually come to Zeng Wenjie's shop in person.

Qin Yixuan was very smart; she knew she couldn't play hard to get with Zeng Wenjie, as that would only put her back in that awkward situation with no chance of improvement.

Zeng Wenjie even suspected that when she knocked on his door last time, she might have deliberately put a sanitary napkin in her crotch.

Yan Xinyi browsed around for a while before starting to buy snacks. She felt that Zeng Wenjie was able to make the snack shop successful for a reason. These small packages were indeed very convenient, and even girls with small appetites could finish a whole bag at once.

While they were shopping, a middle-aged man suddenly came down into the store with a large group of people.

"Mr. Zeng, congratulations on the opening of your new store! I've brought my staff to show our support!"

The person who came was Xue Lu, who was all smiles and shook hands with Zeng Wenjie repeatedly.

"welcome."

Zeng Wenjie laughed and said, "Who wouldn't love someone who's giving away money?"
Xue Lu was a shrewd and experienced man who knew he would have more contact with Zeng Wenjie in the future and would rely on this young man in many ways! So, as soon as the new store opened, he immediately brought his employees to buy snacks to show their support.

Seeing that the store was getting busy, Yan Xinyi quickly selected two large bags of snacks, weighed them, and paid for them.

She also participated in the lottery and won two matte-textured mentor cards.

These cards were made by Zeng Wenjie in imitation of sports cards, so they have some collectible value.

"It's such a shame I didn't get a figurine!" Yan Xinyi said with a helpless smile.

“Come again next time, you’ll definitely win,” Zeng Wenjie said.

“Okay, I flew all the way from Yanjing to your place just to buy snacks for the lucky draw. You can reimburse my airfare,” Yan Xinyi said humorously.

“No need for all that trouble. I’ll definitely open a shop in Yanjing when the time comes,” Zeng Wenjie said.

Yan Xinyi was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Then I wish you success in opening your snack shop in Yanjing soon. I will definitely be a regular customer."

After a successful opening, customers began to flock in continuously.

Ye Qiansheng immediately felt a sense of relief. Judging from the situation, the branch's business would be good, or even extremely good, so good that it could drain the surrounding plagiarist shops dry.

Moreover, many customers choose to spend money to get the merchandise they want, such as purchasing membership cards and topping up their accounts to receive specific items once they reach a certain spending threshold.

In just one morning, the snacks on the shelves were restocked multiple times.

Zheng Hong had no business when she opened her shop this morning, so she went out to take a look. She was stunned to see that the "copycat" snack shop next door was doing very well. When she came over to take a look, she was amazed to see that it was packed with customers!

"Hey, Auntie, how's business? Ours' doing pretty well, so I bet yours is busy too!"

Ye Qiansheng was just like Zeng Wenjie, a real jerk. He came out to have a smoke and rest, and just then he saw Zheng Hong. He immediately greeted her with a grin.

Zheng Hong's chubby face immediately darkened, and she cursed, "You fucking have no business ethics! You copied my shop and stole all my business! Have you no shame? Have you no shame!"

Ye Qiansheng said, "Oh, I'm really sorry, but I copied yours and my business is still better than yours! How about that? Are you angry? Go ahead and kill me!"

Zheng Hong was so angry that she jumped up on the spot. Seeing how well the snack business was doing, she was anxious!

Ye Qiansheng was too lazy to explain to her who the pioneer of the snack industry was. You can't reason with this kind of person; the more you try, the worse it gets.

If she tries to be unreasonable, then you should just go for it.

Zheng Hong decided to call her younger brother to see if he had any ideas.

After making the call, the younger brother sighed and said, "Sis, it's not just them copying us, it's the entire Fengcheng, all the snack shops, they're copying them! 'Snack Panic' was the first snack shop, and it was even founded by a college student, they've been on the news..."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Hong was stunned and asked, "Can you think of a solution for me? My shop hasn't had a single customer all morning; everyone has gone to their place!"

"There's no other way, let's find another business..." the younger brother sighed.

“That won’t do, the snack shop is my life’s work!” Zheng Hong refused outright.

She even ran back to the entrance of the snack shop to take a closer look.

This woman was quite clever; she realized that the store's popularity seemed to be due to "The Voice of China" and Lao Xie.

So she felt she had found a way and immediately went to an advertising store to order posters of "The Voice of China" and Lao Xie.

This fool has absolutely no awareness of copyright.
