The pet I raised comes from the second dimension.

The day after Christmas, on Saturday, the boxing gym and fruit shop returned to normal operations...

Starting next week, the women's college will enter exam week, and students will face final exams for various major courses.

The main course has a high level of difficulty in the exams, and the exam room discipline is very strict.

Excessive academic pressure has led to a surge in takeout sales for milk tea shops!
Due to a lack of manpower, the doro all pitched in, using their tiny paws to make milk tea.

Dorothy is the most diligent and skilled at making milk tea.
Following a healthy sugar reduction ratio, Dorothy put tea bags into nine cups of milk tea in a 3x3 area in front of her, and then scooped half a spoonful of milk powder into each cup.

"Donas, have you chopped the fruit? I need to use it!"

Dorothy poured hot water into nine cups of milk tea to dissolve the milk powder, stirring as she called out to her companions with a hint of urgency, while glancing out of the corner of her eye at Doro, who was carefully preparing a fruit cake.

Doro was in charge of the fruit cake order.
Its big, bright eyes scrutinized the surface of the cake.

Two little hands gripped the piping bag tightly, spiraling to decorate one little red flower after another.

Compared to Dorothy's hectic schedule, Dorothy is relaxed and carefree, thoroughly enjoying the process of making cakes as she pleases.

Once all the buttercream flowers have been added,

Doraemon hummed a little tune.

A self-entertaining song echoed through the milk tea shop.

"I'm learning to be alone all day without feeling lost..."

Singing, making cakes, and selling them to young ladies to earn a little money.

Doraemon became happier the more he thought about it.
It carefully picked up the cake tray and stepped into the bakery.

In the bakery, Pina assists Fumina, helping her bake cakes, tarts, and bagels.

Bagels are commonly known as "donuts".

As the Nth batch of donuts came out of the oven, Pina sneaked a bite of a plain one while it was still hot. One bite, and the pure, rich wheat flavor assaulted her taste buds; she couldn't bear to swallow it.

hey~
Anyway, there were quite a few donuts in the whole batch.
It's no big deal to sneak one more!
After taking a second bite and finishing off the remaining third of the bagel in her hand, Pina saw Doro come into the baking room, so she gave him the last half of the bagel.

Before Dorothy could speak, Pina shoved the bagel into its mouth and whispered, "Shh! Don't let Dorothy find out I'm sneaking a bite, or she'll make me take turns making milk tea. I don't know how to make milk tea, and every cup has to be made by hand; it's exhausting after a while..."

Pina stuck out her tongue and chuckled as she leaned closer to Dorothy, her gaze peering through the crack in the door at Dorothy outside the bakery.

Donas is close to the baking room
It could hear clearly what Pina was saying.

Moreover, Donas had been wanting to complain for a long time: why make milk tea cup by cup!

Just then, Pina made her statement.
Donas put down her toy sword, jumped onto the bar, and came to Dorothy's side.

"Hello~"

"Are you not thinking straight today?"

"You should be using big buckets to brew tea and milk, and cooking in large pots. Don't you get tired of making milk tea by hand, cup by cup?"

Despite her verbal complaints, Donas's actions betrayed her true intentions, as she proactively helped her partner pack milk tea cups.

Bag according to the order notes.

Donas stuffed bags into Iron Dumbbell's hands one after another for delivery.

For orders placed from the women's college dormitory, a 10% VAT discount will be offered on a single cup of milk tea if the customer contacts the store's WeChat account privately.

Iron dumbbells are responsible for delivery.
Reduce the 30% commission charged by food delivery platforms.

Milk tea shops can earn up to 30% more profit!

Considering the high profit margin, Dorothy was unwilling to deceive customers. How could mass-produced milk tea compare to the taste of individual cups?

"I just want to be fair to my customers."

"By the way, Donas, have you finished cutting the watermelon? The fruit shop's WeChat account has a new order; the customer wants to buy two small boxes of watermelon chunks." Dorothy wiped the sweat from her forehead, took a few sips of warm water, and prepared to start making the next batch of customized milk tea.

Witnessing Dorothy working diligently firsthand,
Donas hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

It could only quietly run to the fruit shop next door to get a packaging box to seal the watermelon.

Half an hour later
It was almost noon.

Orders at the bubble tea shop have finally decreased.

Just then, Shu Chu brought three girls who had just turned 16 into the store. The arrival of the new employees allowed the doro members to finally get a break.

Those aged 16-18 are legally considered minors and are in compliance with relevant regulations.

Shu Chu brought them out of an orphanage in the eastern suburbs of the capital.
Shu Chu paid for all the professional certificates for them out of her own pocket.

Having dropped out of junior high, Shu Chu never had the chance to experience the joys of high school. Having been caught in the rain, she wanted to offer an umbrella to girls in similar circumstances, just as Boss Huang took in Doraemon even when he was starving…

Bringing new employees into the milk tea shop

Shu Chu introduced Doro to them.

Let's start with Dorothy!
"This is Dorothy, the acting manager of the milk tea shop."

"The other two are Doraemon and Donas."

"The little blonde is Pina, the manager of the boxing gym upstairs."

Shu Chu introduced Doro one by one, then went to the baking room to bring out Fumina. Shu Chu smiled brightly: "This is the honorary store manager, Fumina! Boss Huang is a hands-off manager, the boss's wife is Sister Su, and Sister Chen Yu can also be considered an honorary store manager. Boss Huang went to the north of the city to run business today, and Sister Su and Sister Chen Yu are at school preparing for their final exams."

finished speaking,

Shu Chu immediately distributed employee uniforms.

— 3 aprons with Doro's image printed on them.

After finishing her business, Shu Chu patted the heads of the four little guys and told them to go to the staff dormitory of the boxing gym to rest.

Although he voluntarily took on the business of the milk tea shop,

It was really tiring.
The doro, including Pina, had lost all interest in replying to Shu Chu.

"Go, Sister Shu Chu!"

"Let's go rest."

"Go upstairs! Buy lunch! Go to sleep!"

Dorothy, Doraemon, and Donas walked in a row and climbed the stairs to the boxing gym.

Pina walked slowly, and while Dorothy wasn't paying attention, she secretly hid a few more freshly baked bagels in Donas's tail space.

Watching the four little ones walk away, Shu Chu took out Remy from her bosom and put it in the mouse box to rest for a bit...

Boxing gyms experience a slow season during exam preparation periods.
Fortunately, there's nothing to worry about with a membership system.

You pay upfront to get a membership card; the money is already earned.

The members didn't have time to exercise, which made the boxing gym quiet. The only sounds on the entire floor were the sounds of Arwen, Mikasa, Aya, and various pets sparring and training.

The Doro went straight to their dormitory to rest.
While chatting,
While selecting takeout food,
Different little ones have different things they want to eat.

After lying down for half an hour, Dorothy, yawning, went to the entrance of the boxing gym to pick up her lunch, which was about to arrive.

A high-end burger joint's beef rib burger!
There are vegetables, meat, bread, and sauces.

It contains a complete range of nutrients.

It's packed with advantages!

The only downside is that it's relatively expensive...

Doro wanted to control her weight, so she ordered homemade cooked food from a large supermarket for delivery. She only paid 6 yuan for a 500g clay pot chicken leg.

It's delicious, inexpensive, and suitable for those on a diet.

For the main dish, choose cold noodles from a large supermarket;

The vegetables are one pound of tomatoes and one pound of cucumbers.

You can share any vegetables you can't finish with your friends!
Tomatoes are juicy and have a slightly sweet taste.

With a smacking sound, he ate with great relish, quickly finishing the entire tomato...

Donas ordered lunch from the steamed bun shop at the intersection, which was the closest to the delivery point, but it arrived late because the steamed buns with roasted pepper and preserved egg filling had just been put into the steamer.
Watching my friends eat,
Donas's stomach was growling with cravings.
It reached for a handful of fries from Dorothy's meal.

French fries, a box doesn't have much, grab a handful and half is gone.

Dorothy: "."

"You have to share some of the mutton soup with me later." Dorothy was about to complain about Donas's lack of manners, but then she remembered that she had recently made a fortune in stocks, so she no longer minded sharing her lunch with her partner.

The doro like to share food.
The prerequisite is that there are sufficient supplies!
They were once homeless, with a daily food ration that was difficult to obtain.

Over time, this prevented Dorothy from being completely unconcerned when sharing food with her companions. (During their time as wanderers) Like Donas,
Previously living in a nature reserve, it would only share its stored food with wild birds and dogs when it was full; otherwise, it would never voluntarily give up its food. (During its time as a stray)

Only Doraemon was an exception.

Even if it doesn't have enough to eat, it's willing to share, because it doesn't want any of its companions to go hungry.

At this moment, only Donas's takeout had not yet arrived, and Doro couldn't bear to watch it eat while it watched Dorothy.

Even Pina gets to eat donuts!
Doro took a bite of the cucumber, making a crisp "crunch crunch" sound as he pushed the box of chicken legs in front of Donas. "Do you want some chicken legs? This cooking method seems to be called 'Clay Pot,' it's salty, I can't finish it all in one go."

"I'll give it to you!"

"Hehe~"

Doro smiled and blinked his big eyes at Donas.

Donas didn't say anything, stared at Doro for a few seconds, then tilted her head and said insincerely, "I don't like it! I'm waiting for my takeout. I only want to eat steamed buns for lunch today."

He was clearly embarrassed to eat Doraemon's lunch.
Donas deliberately said that she didn't like it.

Moreover, Donas thought that Doro's lunch was too hard!

One pound of chicken drumsticks, half a pound of cold noodles, and tomatoes with cucumbers.

It sounds alright.
However, compared to the order sales this morning...

"Dolo, are you planning to save money, or do you simply enjoy starving yourself and suffering more? We should be able to earn a lot of money today, so there's no need to be overly frugal, right?" Donas scratched her head and asked bluntly.

Dorothy also wanted to tell this story.

“Indeed! Our lives are getting better and better, and we can definitely eat some more delicious food. Earning more money is for spending more money, there’s no need to always save money.” After Dorothy finished speaking, she tried to straighten her crooked glasses, but considering that her hands were covered in sauce, she simply shook her head and threw the glasses onto the small table.

Pina agreed with Donas and Dorothy's views.

If you can earn money, don't be extravagant; just save where you can.

You shouldn't be too frugal when it comes to food!

Just as Pina was about to tell Doraemon to eat whatever he wanted, the delivery driver called, and Pina quickly went to the door to pick up her lunch.

When Pina returned to her room, she noticed that Taihua was following her and guessed that she was looking for Dorothy.

"Dorothy!"

"Hurry up and eat your lunch!"

Back in the staff dormitory, Pina loudly reminded him, tearing open the lunch bag to share a large skewer of red willow kebabs with Doraemon.

Red willow roasted meat, sizzling with oil, has an irresistible aroma.

Doraemon reluctantly accepted Pina's offer.

uh~
Actually, I'm not just eating less to save money; I also want to control my weight!

Winter is a time when people tend to lack exercise.

Eating delicious lamb skewers will make you gain weight.

Worried that Pina might misunderstand, Doro ate the lamb skewers and decided to walk an extra three kilometers on the treadmill that afternoon...

After finishing her lunch in a few bites, Dorothy followed Taihua to a small desk in the rest area to check the stock market trends displayed on her laptop.

US stock markets are open Monday through Sunday, excluding public holidays.

Taihua usually predicts fund movements based on US stock market trends and major world events.

Today, after analyzing the US stock market, Taihua believes there's a trap!

What are your thoughts?

Pointing to the stock market trends of precious metals, Taihua asked briefly, his tone as if testing Dorothy.

Dorothy had taken off her glasses while eating a hamburger, and not wearing them slightly dulled her sharp mind. She instinctively replied, "US stocks and precious metals are soaring, we Dorothy's making money again! Hmm... As for my thoughts, how about we invest more in precious metals funds?"

In the fund industry, there's a set of "turtle tactics"—only buy, never sell.

The greener it is, the more you should buy it.
When a stock is gaining popularity, it's necessary to reduce the amount of investment.

This tactic for investing in funds guarantees profits, provided you have the time to invest.

Global gold reserves are rationed.

Therefore, the general trend for gold prices is only that they will become more and more expensive.
Even short-term fluctuations are reasonable.

“If it were before, we should indeed increase our holdings of gold or silver recently. However… Dorothy, go put on your glasses and come back, think about it again.” Taihua smiled, took out his phone and used Alipay to sell half of Su Qingyao’s silver fund holdings.

Purchased for 200 million, the stock appreciated by 42% in just over half a month, resulting in a net profit of 80!
A half-position would yield a profit of 40!
The remaining majority of the silver fund holdings were not sold yet.

Taihua's idea is to take this opportunity to pay tuition for the doro.

Dorothy put on her glasses, came back, and happily skipped away.

Stand back in front of the computer screen.
The intelligence boost provided by the glasses prop caused Dorothy to instantly suppress her smile.

Something's not right.

Something is very, very wrong...

Dorothy, her little paws supporting her chin, grew serious, her brows furrowing into a deep frown. "The price surge is incredible, exceeding 5% in a single day; the momentum is unstoppable. Silver is indeed scarce, but ultimately it can't compare to gold. Why is its price increase three times that of gold?"

"Gold prices have been soaring recently!"

The clever Dorothy sensed a conspiracy.

Just then, Donas's lunch delivery arrived, and she walked past the desk to the door.

On the way back,
Observing that his partner's expression was extremely solemn,
Donas, filled with curiosity, went to watch the spectacle.

"What are you doing?"

"The red and green lines are quite nice! It's a pity there's so much more red than green; it would be more harmonious if there were more green." Donas tore open the mutton soup container, slurped a spoonful of hot soup, and fed it to Dorothy.

The mutton offal soup was very delicious.

But what Donas said chilled Dorothy to the bone.
What do you mean by 'more green would be more harmonious'?
Green in stocks or funds indicates a decline!

Dorothy broke out in a sweat at the thought that the stock market might crash, and considered whether she should sell her fund.

After eating and drinking their fill, Doraemon and Pina tidied up the trash and took it out of the staff dormitory.
They were also drawn to Dorothy's situation.

Taihua understood that Doropinea knew little about the stock market, so he gave the two little ones a rough explanation of investment strategies.

A moment later.
I learned that "red represents making money, and green represents losing money."
Doro suggested eagerly, "How about we sell all the remaining stocks or funds?"

The more I talked, the more flustered I became.
Doraemon was so anxious that he stomped his feet back and forth.

It was afraid that the red line would turn green in the next second.

Seeing that Duoluo was reacting strongly, Taihua bent down and hugged it, gently stroking its head to comfort it and tell it not to be too scared.

"fine."

"The lines won't turn green for now, at least not for the next two weeks," Taihua explained softly.

Doro is slow-witted, but not actually stupid; sometimes he's quite clever.

After carefully considering Taihua's words, Duoluo trembled slightly and said worriedly, "What if we wait half a month? If the lines change color after half a month, both people and Sister Xiaosu will lose a lot of money!"

"Is there any way to prevent people and Sister Su from losing money?"

"I'm willing to do anything!"

With her big, watery eyes blinking, Doro's half-crying, half-weeping appearance made Taihua's heart ache.

“Of course! As long as they sell their inventory now, Huang Musong and Su Qingyao won’t lose money. However, if the line stays red after the fund is sold, wouldn’t that mean Huang Musong will earn less?” Taihua patiently guided Duoluo to think. “Given the uncertainty of whether the line will turn green or stay red, do you think it’s better to sell now but earn less, or to gamble and earn more?”

"I'll do as you say. If you want to sell, then sell. I'll handle it for you."

Taihua smiled, grasped Duoluo's little hand, and hovered over the fund (sell) button on the phone screen.

Understanding that clicking the "Sell" button can help avoid the risk of loss is crucial.

Doraemon did not hesitate.

It resolutely liquidated one-third of the silver fund for Sister Su and others.

Having successfully sold the fund, Doro slowly raised his smiling face, his big eyes narrowing into crescent-shaped slits.

"Hehe~"

Turning to look at Dorothy and Donas,
Doro hoped his friends would also sell off the remaining two-thirds of their fund inventory, just like he had. (End of Chapter)
