Dashing Student

Chapter 190 - 190, I’ve finally caught you, you wretch

Hearing Nie Xiaoyu’s words, the busy attendants unanimously stopped their work and looked at her curiously.

They had no idea how many cups of milk tea they had sold that day; they just knew they had been swamped with business not long after opening that morning.

Even during lunch, they had taken turns eating quickly.

Chen Nan also turned to look at Nie Xiaoyu, eagerly anticipating the day’s sales.

"Thirty-six thousand five hundred and eighty," Nie Xiaoyu said with an excited face, announcing a number that even she found hard to believe.

Upon hearing this.

Everyone’s scalp tingled.

A thick layer of goosebumps even rose on Chen Nan’s body.

To have reached thirty-six thousand yuan in one day’s sales was just outrageous.

Moreover, this was under the circumstance that [Fruit Tea] only had one product. If there had been more options, the sales would surely have been more than thirty-six thousand yuan!

Nie Xiaoyu continued, "This doesn’t even include the students and teachers who bought at half price; if everyone had paid the full price, the sales would definitely have exceeded forty thousand."

A tall girl with an oval face, willow leaf eyebrows, and bright white teeth exclaimed in shock, "Sister Xiaoyu, I’m sure our store’s sales today must have broken Jizhou’s record in the beverage industry."

"I used to work at Shanghai Aunty in Wanda for a while, which is the busiest milk tea shop in all of Jizhou."

"Even so, their daily sales were only about twenty thousand."

"Our store made almost double that!

Unable to contain herself, Nie Xiaoyu said, "It really is unbelievable."

She had researched the income of milk tea shops before. If it was a small milk tea shop in a nondescript location, a daily profit of five hundred to one thousand yuan could be profitable.

On the other hand, if it didn’t make even five hundred yuan, it would definitely lose money.

The milk tea shops in high-end malls have a baseline daily sale of two thousand yuan; anything above that is considered profit.

In places like commercial streets with high foot traffic, daily sales wouldn’t be less than four thousand since the costs for running a milk tea shop are quite high.

An income of four thousand yuan could only cover rent, utilities, and staff expenses.

Any surplus would go into the shop owner’s pocket. However, with more than ten milk tea shops just on the commercial street alone, competition was exceptionally fierce, and very few shops genuinely made money.

After a pause, Nie Xiaoyu smiled and said, "The high sales in our store are thanks to everyone’s hard work."

"Without your willingness to stay and work overtime, the order in the shop would certainly have fallen into chaos."

"To show my gratitude for your hard work, I’m treating everyone to a roasted whole lamb tonight!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the six employees in the store let out excited cheers, and the fatigue from a hard day’s work seemed to vanish in an instant.

"If Nie is treating everyone to roasted whole lamb, then I, as the second boss, should also make a gesture. Let me be a bit more conventional, then; a red envelope of six hundred yuan for each person!"

When Chen Nan’s voice was heard, the shop went silent for a moment, but then even more excited cheers erupted; the six attendants looked at Chen Nan with excitement on their faces.

It was undeniable that roasted whole lamb was delicious, but a cash reward of six hundred yuan was also very appealing.

After all.

Their salary was only five thousand yuan!

Of course, this wasn’t to say that their salary was low. On the contrary, their salary could be considered high in Jizhou City.

Bearing in mind, the average salary in Jizhou was just over four thousand three hundred yuan.

Their salaries were far above average.

Chen Nan was a man of action. He went to a nearby shopping center, exchanged three thousand six hundred yuan in cash, and bought six red envelopes. By the time he returned, the shop had also been cleaned up.

In fact, Chen Nan didn’t need to go to such trouble at all. He could have simply sent the red envelopes to everyone via mobile payment.

But he didn’t like to send red envelopes through his phone.

Although he didn’t deny the convenience of mobile payments, receiving a digital red envelope simply didn’t bring the same joy as holding cash in hand.

"Thank you, boss!"

"I wish the boss makes a fortune and gets more handsome every day!"

The several girls weren’t very old, around twenty years of age, and they all had cheerful personalities. After receiving their red envelopes, they all started to say pleasant things.

"There’s no need to be so formal. This is what you all deserve. Let’s go, we’re going out to eat."

Chen Nan was also very grateful to these girls because when he was hiring, he had made it clear that they would only work half-day shifts. But today, everyone had stayed until the very end.

After all, everyone is human, and when they work so hard, how could Chen Nan be stingy?

Then the group of eight took two taxis to the barbecue city.

Because Nie Xiaoyu had called ahead to reserve barbecue lamb, as soon as everyone sat down, the staff brought over a golden, sizzling, fragrant roasted whole lamb and placed it on the table.

In addition to that, there were some refreshing cold dishes to cut through the richness.

Nie Xiaoyu also ordered several bottles of chilled beer and soft drinks. Those who could drink had a bottle less, and those who couldn’t drank the soft drinks.

Once the dishes and drinks were served, Nie Xiaoyu raised her glass, everyone followed suit, and then they all started to enjoy the golden roasted lamb, eating heartily without any concern for appearances.

This was normal since everyone had been busy the entire day, and even lunch had been just a few quick bites. By now, they were all ravenous.

As everyone was enjoying their meal, Nie Xiaoyu cleared her throat and said, "Well, there’s something I want to talk to you all about."

Everyone looked at Nie Xiaoyu almost in unison.

Nie Xiaoyu said, "I’m planning to hire three more colleagues, four people per shift, so that even when the popularity decreases, we can still handle the business."

Although the business was good today, Nie Xiaoyu was aware that the current popularity was only temporary and that the excitement over "Guocha" would eventually die down.

She was mentally prepared for it.

The girl with the goose egg-shaped face couldn’t help but say, "Nie Xiaoyu, actually hiring two more workers would be enough. Three seems a bit too much."

"To be honest, even without hiring more staff, we can handle the work. After all, you’re already paying us a lot." She said this with a mischievous smile.

All the others nodded in agreement. Although the work was a bit tiring, the salary that Nie Xiaoyu was offering was indeed a lot.

Nie Xiaoyu forced a smile, "I’ve been through tough times too, and I don’t want your efforts to go unrewarded."

After a pause, Nie Xiaoyu said, "The reason I want to hire three new colleagues is that I want to promote Lulu out of her current role. I think you understand this business well, and I want you to be the manager."

"If I’m not in the shop, you can also take care of it."

The girl named Xu Lu couldn’t help but gasp. She hadn’t expected to become the manager on her very first day of work!

She stood up excitedly with her face flushed, "Nie Xiaoyu, Second Boss. Don’t worry, I will definitely do a good job and not let you down!"

Chen Nan smiled and said, "Sit down and let’s eat."

Just then, a sneering voice came from nearby, "Xu Lu, I didn’t expect to find you, a cheap bitch, here. I’ve finally caught you!"
