Chapter 446 Elusive

When students officially enter their third year, their appearance will not change significantly, they will still be young and beautiful, but ordinary people can tell the difference in temperament at a glance.

Most freshmen are reserved, exploring college life with confusion and curiosity.

The juniors, however, have long lost any hope for college life. The lazy students continue to laze around, while the ambitious students are busy taking exams every day. Everyone has their own life.

Yang Zhi has a stronger sense of crisis than Tao Shuxin, or rather, she doesn't feel as secure as she does.

She thought of using various methods to keep Xu Mingyuan by her side. Even though he spent more time with her than Tao Shuxin, Yang Zhi didn't want another person to take away his remaining time.

Because Yang Zhi discovered that the reality was not as exaggerated as Tao Shuxin said, but also not as indifferent as Xu Mingyuan said.

No girl had the courage to take the initiative to come forward and make friends with Xu Mingyuan, but there were many discussions about him in private. Two days ago, a girl even approached her alone and wanted to get Xu Mingyuan's contact information.

Most of the boys were self-aware. Although they saw that Yang Zhi was very beautiful, they also understood that they were not from the same world and no one would bother her. The only blurry photo was taken and posted on Tieba. The IP address was also found, so the counselor persuaded her to delete it.

However, when some girls saw Xu Mingyuan being guarded by Tao Shuxin, they set their sights on her, which surprised Yang Zhi.

In order to prevent Xu Mingyuan from having any free time, Yang Zhi would pester him whenever she had the chance, and she had to drain all his energy before letting him go out without worry...

"What kind of crappy plan is this? Send it back and redo it."

Xu Mingyuan flipped through a few pages of documents out of boredom and threw them on the table.

In late summer and early autumn, Su Muqing returned to her proper attire, a black dress with a khaki linen cardigan. The three-quarter cuffs revealed her slender wrists, and the diamonds on the diamond-studded dial sparkled under the soft light.

Although the mixed perfume of Yves Saint Laurent and Prada is not as popular as Chanel, it gives people a very pretentious feeling, a tone that is incompatible with ordinary people.

But Su Muqing's taste is pretty good. The petty bourgeoisie is prevalent these days, so there is no need to judge whether it is good or bad.

Su Muqing is this kind of person, very good at pretending, and she won't change much in the future. As long as she doesn't show it in front of Xu Mingyuan, he won't bother to say anything.

"Is there something wrong?"

Su Muqing felt a little strange. She found that Xu Mingyuan was becoming more and more lazy recently. It was not that he was not serious about his career, but his mental state was a bit lazy, as if he was indifferent to things in the outside world.

Su Muqing was somewhat worried about Xu Mingyuan's condition.

Don't just give up halfway through your conversation.

"Why have you made such a mess? Don't I think the simpler the better? Look at this membership card system you made. Damn, why do I need a membership card to buy a cup of milk tea for two or three dollars?" Xu Mingyuan said speechlessly.

"As for ways to retain customers, I went to the market to investigate. Most beverage shops have a membership card system, even privately owned stores." Su Muqing said.

"Uh, really? I really forgot about that."

Xu Mingyuan suddenly remembered that now, not to mention beverage shops, even supermarkets and stationery stores near schools are launching membership card systems. They have been reaping the benefits of the business one after another, and who knows if the stores will close down one day.

But the current trend is really like this. People feel ashamed if they don’t have a few membership cards in their wallet.

"Do we still need to do it?" Su Muqing asked.

"It's useless. You're just drinking a two or three yuan iced milk tea, but you're still using this system of screening customers. Do you think there are too many customers? Your plan seems to be the standard for the mid- to high-end catering industry. What? Did you copy Qin Man's experience in opening a store?"

Xu Mingyuan picked up the folder and read it carefully again. He felt something was wrong when he read it just now. Now he realized that this was not a beverage store for the public. Su Muqing was running it as a hotel.

"Isn't her family in the catering business? I was thinking of asking her for some advice."

Su Muqing was a little embarrassed, so Xu Mingyuan just gave her a rough framework, and she had to figure out the rest on her own.

Su Muqing didn't understand these things, but Qin Man's family at least ran a hotel, and failure is the mother of success. Her experience must be better than hers who plunged into the catering industry.

"It's a waste of time. What's the point of asking her? You must be clear about the positioning when doing things. No matter how much you talk about theoretical things, it is not as useful as practicing them once. If you really want to gain experience, you might as well go to a store and stay there for a day to calculate the turnover." Xu Mingyuan said.

"Okay, then I'll try it." Su Muqing nodded.

"Hey, do you really want to go?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"Isn't that what you said?" Su Muqing asked in confusion. "It's actually useless. But the clothes you changed into today suddenly reminded me of something." Xu Mingyuan said.

"What's the matter?" Su Muqing asked in surprise.

"You acted so young last time and almost fooled me."

"..." Su Muqing had a headache, rubbing her forehead and said, "I didn't pretend this time, did I?"

"This is not."

"What's that for?"

"I've discovered that you and Qin Man are actually the same type of people. You seem approachable, but you are both extremely arrogant in your bones. You are not suitable for doing popular business. You are too far away from the masses and will go bankrupt sooner or later." Xu Mingyuan shook his head and said.

“I can also try to set up a stall.”

Su Muqing frowned slightly. She thought she had worked hard enough and didn't mind lowering herself.

"Forget it. You're not doing this for a living, so you can't put yourself in their shoes and understand their thinking."

"You mean, nothing I do will work?"

"Not really. What I mean is that you are not suitable for running a popular beverage store. You are suitable for catering to the middle class. You are similar to Qin Man, but you are smarter than her."

"Can I take this as a compliment?"

Su Muqing didn't know what it felt like, and asked with a ridiculous look on her face.

"Of course, why don't you go make hot pot? There's no skill required for this. Each person has their own taste, and it's semi-self-service. If you provide good service, you won't have to worry about making money."

"Hotpot? Is it considered petty bourgeoisie?" Su Muqing asked.

"I'd say they're middle class. Their consumption is definitely slightly higher than the local level, and they need to pay a premium for additional services. By the way, there's a restaurant called Haidilao that's doing pretty well. You can go and check it out," said Xu Mingyuan.

"Haidilao? I've never heard of it."

Su Muqing searched the name of this store carefully in her mind. She had never heard of this name before. Where could she go to investigate?
"Haidilao is in the initial stage of market expansion. You have heard about it. Do you still have a chance? I am optimistic about the development of this company. Haidilao has a branch in Beijing. If you don't know the address, just search it online."

Xu Mingyuan was drinking lemon juice out of boredom. He was almost drained by Xiao Yangzhi recently. When he saw Su Muqing now, he didn't even have the heart to admire her.

Su Muqing obviously noticed that Xu Mingyuan's attitude towards her was rather cold, and asked suspiciously: "Don't you want to contribute, so you just want to send me away?"

"Are you done yet? Damn, there is a way to make money right in front of you, and it would be fine if you didn't cherish it, but you actually doubt my vision." Xu Mingyuan said angrily.

"I believe you're okay?"

Although Su Muqing felt a little uncomfortable, she really had no way to deal with Xu Mingyuan.

"You don't need to believe it. You haven't experienced any storms yet, so you should be cautious before doing anything."

After interrupting Su Muqing's original route, Xu Mingyuan didn't know whether she would still have the same courage in the future.

"I'm a woman, what storm can I go through? Hey, are you leaving?"

"I'm going to see my girlfriend. I don't have much to talk to you about. Why are you still staying here?" Xu Mingyuan said as he packed up his things.

"Let's chat for a while. I finally came to Jiangda University. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Su Muqing originally wanted to find Xu Mingyuan to look at the plan, and then go to the school to discuss whether she could rent a store.

Who would have thought that Xu Mingyuan completely abandoned the previous plan and came up with a new idea.

Do you have to be so unpredictable? It makes me feel uncomfortable...
