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

9:45.

Lu Yang went over the last few points to note.

"Remember, don't rush on the first day. Take it easy. It's okay to make mistakes, just don't lose your attitude."

"receive!"

Xia Ning stood at attention and saluted.

Xia Qing nodded without saying a word.

10 o'clock sharp.

Open for business.

The shop was quiet.

There is more than one milk tea shop on this street.

Within the area that Guang Luyang could visually estimate, there were several such establishments.

The competition is fierce.

But Lu Yang wasn't in a hurry.

It would be a miracle if customers broke down the door on the first day of opening.

Xia Ning stood behind the bar, her hands neatly placed in front of her apron, the rabbit hair clip on her head sparkling.

She tiptoed and peeked out the door twice, then withdrew.

"Boss, where is everyone?"

"It's only been three minutes since the door opened."

"oh."

Xia Ning nodded, then stood on tiptoe to take another look.

"Boss, it's been four minutes, and still no one's here."

Lu Yang rolled his eyes at her, annoyed, and ignored her.

Xia Qing stood behind the control panel, her arms crossed in front of her chest.

Compared to Xia Ning, Xia Qing didn't care much.

Whether there are customers or not has nothing to do with her; she'll just stand there as long as she's supposed to.

Time passed second by second.

Finally, half an hour after opening, the store welcomed its first customer.

He was a boy wearing glasses.

He was carrying a backpack and wearing headphones; he was probably a college student from the neighborhood.

Xia Ning instantly perked up, stood up straight reflexively, and placed her hands neatly in front of her apron.

"Welcome!"

Xia Ning's crisp voice rang out.

The boy was slightly taken aback.

Xia Ning was dressed in a proper maid outfit, not revealing at all, but she looked better than those who flirted with the internet. In particular, her polite personality was a big plus.

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen a milk tea shop like this.

And it successfully piqued his curiosity.

finally.

The boy's gaze fell on the menu above the bar.

Then, his expression froze.

"Bo Ya broke his zither string, amidst the verdant Nuo Mountain, awakening to spring mountains, white mist and mortal dust..."

The boy scratched his head, his face completely bewildered.

Isn't this a bubble tea shop?

He had never heard of how the products were sold.

Upon seeing this, Xia Ning immediately turned her gaze to Lu Yang, her expression somewhat smug.

See? She said it herself: the first reaction of a normal person when they see this thing is bewilderment.

But she remembered what her boss had said: when people see something they don't understand, their curiosity is piqued.

As expected, the boy did not turn around and leave.

Instead, he curiously took a step closer and tilted his head to look at the line of small gray text below the menu name.

Then, he pointed to Bo Ya's broken string and asked, "How much is this?"

"fifteen!"

Xia Ning quoted a price.

The boy thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll have one, seven-tenths sugar, regular ice."

"Okay!"

Xia Ning turned around and started operating.

For some reason, she was full of energy.

Take the tea base, add syrup, and chill as usual.

This time she was smarter; she pressed the lid down firmly twice to make sure it was locked before shaking it.

It's much better than yesterday; at least it didn't fly away.

After shaking, seal the container and attach a label.

"Your Bo Ya's Broken Strings, seven-tenths sugar, normal ice, please enjoy!"

The boy took the cup and took a sip.

Then it stopped.

He took another puff.

"It tastes good."

Just two words.

But Xia Ning's eyes lit up immediately.

She secretly glanced back at Lu Yang, her expression clearly saying: Boss, did you hear that?! He said my milk tea is delicious!

Lu Yang didn't show much expression, but the corner of his mouth did twitch slightly.

The first order was placed, which is a good omen.

The boy sat down by the window, took out his phone while drinking.

He held up his phone and took a picture of the cup, then another of the store's interior. He swiped his finger across the screen a few times, probably posting it on his WeChat Moments.

Lu Yang noticed this detail.

He doesn't need to promote it on social media; the customers will do it themselves.

After all, young people these days really like to take pictures of the drinks they drink today and post them on their WeChat Moments.

This is GG.

And it's a free GG.

After the first customer left, no one came for the next half hour.

Xia Ning went from excitement to boredom, from boredom to anxiety, and from anxiety to lying on the bar counting her fingers.

"Boss...why is nobody here?"

Lu Yang didn't say anything.

The street has decent foot traffic, but the new shops are opening without signs or a good reputation, so passersby have no reason to turn in.

The worst thing you can do in business is to be hasty, especially on the first day.

"Boss, how about I go out and hand out flyers?"

Do you have any flyers?

"……No."

"Then what are you going to post outside?"

Xia Ning pouted and said in a muffled voice, "Then should I go outside and stand at the door to call out to customers?"

Lu Yang twitched the corner of his mouth.

A hawking call?

What is this girl thinking?

This isn't a roasted sweet potato stall.

Besides, she's the boss, so why is she in such a hurry than she is?

Xia Qing changed her stance, crossing her left and right arms instead of her left, her eyes fixed on the butterfly flitting about outside the door.

Lu Yang was about to call his roommate over to support him.

Just then, someone came in through the door.

It wasn't just one person.

Instead, there are three.

Three boys entered the room together, one of them looking at his phone, the screen displaying a picture.

"This is the place!"

The three walked to the bar.

Xia Ning sprang up, and the rabbit hair clip swayed twice.

Welcome!

The three boys all looked at her.

"Wow!" the lead boy blurted out, only to be elbowed by his companion. He quickly added, "It's actually true! Maid cafes and stuff... I thought they only existed online, but it turns out they really exist!"

Xia Ning, with her sharp ears, smiled and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

The three of them huddled in front of the menu and studied it for a long time.

What is "white mist and mortal world"?

"Is Xing Shi Chun Shan tea good?"

Would you recommend "Bo Ya's Broken String"?

Xia Ning was a little confused by the questions. She secretly glanced at the memo, then looked up and answered one by one with a smile.

The three people ended up ordering three different drinks.

"By the way, can I take your picture, classmate?"

Xia Ning tilted her head: "Take a picture of me?"

"I'm just posting a video to help promote your store."

Xia Ning glanced at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang nodded.

"all right!"

Xia Ning gave a peace sign to the camera.

The video has been sent.

The next ten minutes.

The door opened again.

And this time, even more people are coming!

"This is it! It's exactly the same as the picture on the school forum!"

Post?

What post?

Hearing this from a short distance away, Lu Yang subconsciously took out his phone and opened the school forum.

No, it's not his school's forum.

It's from Chengjiang University next door.

There's a post on the homepage that was published ten minutes ago.

The title is very straightforward.

[Shocking! A new milk tea shop opened next to the school. The decor is beautiful, and the milk tea is incredibly tasteful (though I can't understand the brand). But the key point is that the staff are from Chengjiang Shuanghua!!!!]
