A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

After arranging things for Wang Hao and the other two.

Lu Yang came out of the Xueyu Group building.

Instead of going home, he took a taxi straight to the milk tea shop.

The car stopped at the street corner.

You can see long queues forming in front of the store from afar.

With the launch of new products, customer traffic has clearly rebounded.

Lu Yang pushed open the door and went in.

Inside the bar, Xia Ning was frantically sealing cups, her bangs stuck to her forehead with sweat, and her rabbit hair clip was crooked, almost falling off.

Xia Qing was cutting fruit nearby, her knife skills were fast and steady.

Since they took over, Lu Yang has become a hands-off manager.

"The boss is back!"

Xia Ning was overjoyed to see Lu Yang.

"Busy as I am, yet I have time to shout."

"Hehe, I'm used to it."

Lu Yang put on an apron, and the three of them worked together to clear out the queue of orders, cup by cup.

The last customer left with his milk tea.

Lu Yang took off his apron and sat down at the table in the corner.

He already had a plan in mind.

He now has four million in formula fees, plus the returns from future shop investments...

Next up is the next project!

"Xia Ning, Xia Qing, come here for a moment."

Xia Ning sprang up from the bar, her eyes lighting up: "What, what are you doing?"

Xia Qing also put down the rag and came over.

The two sat down opposite Lu Yang.

Lu Yang looked at the two of them, his tone becoming serious: "I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

Xia Ning's eyes widened and her ears perked up.

This was the first time she had ever seen her boss so serious.

Lu Yang thought for a moment and then said, "The money from selling the formula a while ago, plus some investments I'll receive later..."

"I plan to expand next."

"expansion?"

Xia Ning tilted her head.

Xia Qing was also completely bewildered.

Lu Yang nodded and said, "No matter how well a store does, there's a ceiling. It can only drink a few hundred cups a day at most; any more than that would be overworking its staff."

"So, the next step is to open branch stores."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ning's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "A branch?!"

Keep in mind that their store had only been open for less than a month.

"right."

Lu Yang nodded again: "I want to expand our brand."

To build a brand, besides the most important thing of spending money on marketing, you also need a unique formula.

The recipe—Lu Yang has no shortage of that.

So all that's left is to build up brand influence.

Xia Ning's breathing became heavy: "Then... then does that mean we'll be a chain store from now on?"

"That depends on how hard you try," Lu Yang said with a smile.

Xia Ning patted her chest heavily: "Boss, don't worry! I, Xia Ning, will work my ass off for you!"

Lu Yang chuckled and then said, "Once the branch opens, you two can't just be shop assistants anymore."

"Can't be a shop assistant???"

Xia Ning was stunned for a moment, then became anxious: "Boss, are you... are you going to fire us?"

"Waaah, no, boss! I was wrong, I'll never steal milk tea from the shop again."

"..."

Compared to Xia Ning, Xia Qing's usually calm eyes also showed a slight change, clearly indicating that she didn't want to leave either.

Lu Yang looked at the two of them with a wry smile. He was speechless. Couldn't they think of things in a positive light?

immediately.

He coughed lightly: "Xia Ning, Xia Qing!"

"Boss, I'm here!"

Xia Ning's teary eyes immediately brightened.

Xia Qing nodded without saying a word.

Lu Yang stated directly, "From now on, you two are the store managers!"

Upon hearing this, the two were stunned.

Xia Ning froze for a moment, then pointed to herself, somewhat incredulously: "Store manager? Me?"

"Okay, from now on you two will be my store managers," Lu Yang said.

"But……"

Xia Ning hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"What's there to 'but' about?"

Lu Yang interrupted him directly, "Do you plan to stand behind the bar making milk tea for the rest of your lives?"

Xia Ning and Xia Qing opened their mouths, but didn't say anything.

To be honest, she hadn't thought that far ahead.

For her, having a stable job, not being fired, and receiving a salary on time every month was the best outcome she could imagine.

Originally, they just wanted to work hard for their boss and make him money.

But now Lu Yang is telling her that she can take another step forward.

Xia Ning's eyes reddened.

She lowered her head, twisting the apron straps in her hands, pursing her lips again and again, but finally couldn't hold back.

"Boss..." Her voice was slightly nasal, "My sister and I... are just two ordinary college students, we don't have any special skills, why are you so nice to us?"

Xia Qing's fingers also clenched the apron on her knees.

Xia Ning is right, Lu Yang has helped them so much.

First it was advance payment of wages, then a raise, and now it's the store manager...

They owe them so much.

She no longer knew how to repay him.

Lu Yang glanced at the two girls.

One was about to cry, while the other was trying her best to hold it in.

To be honest, he didn't think he had done anything particularly remarkable.

It's just a store manager.

"Since you've chosen to work for me, as your boss, I naturally have to give you a future."

Lu Yang spoke very calmly.

There were no grand pronouncements.

But Xia Ning was stunned.

future.

From the day she started school, no one ever mentioned those two words to her again.

Her mother said that girls should just find a stable job.

People around her say that girls should marry a rich man and they'll have everything they need.

So many years have passed.

This is the first time someone has said this to her...

You can have a bright future.

"Waaah..."

Xia Ning finally couldn't hold back anymore.

She covered her face with both hands, her shoulders trembling, her voice muffled in her hands.

"I... I wasn't crying... I just... got sand in my eyes..."

Ok.

Lu Yang didn't expose her.

He also wanted to ask, where did the sand come from indoors?

Xia Qing turned her head away and quickly rubbed the back of her hand against the corner of her eye.

You wouldn't notice it at all if you weren't paying attention.

"Alright, alright, stop making it sound like we're breaking up."

Lu Yang handed him two tissues.

"Boss!"

"what?"

"I promise you!"

Her eyes were still red, but that drive had returned, and she was like a rabbit suddenly electrified: "I will absolutely not let you down on this opportunity you've given me!"

"I'd be willing to work 24 hours a day!"

"It's not that bad. If you suddenly die, I'll have to hire someone else."

"..."

Xia Ning pouted: "Can't you just say something nice to me for once?"

Lu Yang looked at the two sisters.

One is silly but enthusiastic, the other is quiet but reliable.

It's a good combination.

"As for salary..."

Lu Yang hadn't finished speaking.

"No need to add it!"

Xia Ning spoke first.

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment.

Xia Ning said very seriously, "I think... how much you earn is your ability, but I don't know anything right now, so even if I were to increase my earnings, I would feel guilty."

She was unusually serious for once.

"Once I've learned it and can work independently, then you can give me a raise!"

Done.

She grinned again and playfully stuck out her tongue:

"Of course, if you insist on giving it to me, boss... then I can reluctantly accept it."
