  Chapter 77: Self-Promotion

  TL: Etude

  Climbing out of bed, Jiang Qin checked his css schedule and found that today there was only one public lecture titled “Introdu to College Education.”

  So, he ged his clothes and headed straight to the square in front of the south side of the teag building.

  This square was the most trated mini-ercial area within Lin Uy, featuring a supermarket, milk tea shop, barber shop, fruit store, and tea bar.

  inally named Qinxue Square, it souoo rustic, so everyone preferred to call it Front Square.

  Jiang Qin found a spot where the sun didn’t read sat cross-legged for nearly an hour, closely the er flow of the merts in Front Square. Finally, he spped the table and turned into the milk tea shop that had only three ers all m.

  “In this day and age, it’s really tough for individual proprietors like me to survive.”

  “Do you know about the point exge for milk tea at the college supermarket? Their milk tea is half the priine!”

  “But they are not really in it for the profit; it’s more about boosting the sales of other items in their store.”

  “Just like that, half a year into their promotion, my business died down. I only get students who feel it’s too far to go there ale for a cup from my shop.”

  “I didn’t want to tinue, but there’s still a year left on my lease. Dropping out now means a total loss. Barely getting by makes me feel a bit better.”

  “I used to think that being near a uy, any business would thrive. Now I realize that petition is fiercer where the crowd is.”

  The owner of the milk tea shop was a young woman ie twenties, with dyed yellow hair, her face full of pints, as if she wao rush into the college supermarket and bite someone.

  Losing money is not scary, but what’s terrifying is not being able to cut losses in time. This is the most torturous, as it not only leads to financial losses but also weakens one’s spirit.

  Jiang Qin looked around the shop and asked, “’t you do something else?”

  “This store is in a er of this building, with such limited space, suitable only for selling milk tea. Besides, everyone knows my business is bad, I ’t even sell it off,” the young womaed.

  “What if someone is willing to take over your lease?”

  “Who would be that foolish?” the woman with the golden hair didn’t believe it.

  Jiang Qin coughed, “Fools do exist, don’t they? Do I look like one?”

  “If I could get my rent back, I’d hand it over immediately!”

  Half an hour ter, Feng Nanshu, wearing a butterfly-colred chiffon dress, arrived at Front Square, her steps light and eyes gehe bright sunshine made her, a youhy dy, look even more beautiful and fair, like the most beautiful sery iire Front Square.

  Jiang Qin waved at her from the entrance of the milk tea shop, then pulled her in and sat her on a high stool.

  “We’ve been friends for so long, and I haven’t given you a gift. How about I give you this milk tea shop today?”

  “Okay.”

  Feng Nanshu didn’t care what kind of shop it was, as long as it was from Jiang Qin, she wa.

  The woman with dyed yellow hair looked at Jiang Qin ily, thinking to herself that this must be some rich sed-geion, using su extravagahod to woo a girl. But the girl was indeed beautiful, almost perfect. If she were rich, she would definitely spend money on her.

  Watg Feng Nanshu sign her name on the tract, Jiang Qin couldn’t help but feel a bit moved.

  The little rich dy really trusted him so much. She would sign anything he asked, even if he sold her, she would happily help him t the money.

  “The business lise will not be ged for now. This afternoon, I’ll take her to the Entrepreneurship ter to get a self-employmeificate. By the way, do you have any staff in this shop?”

  “Yes, but I’ve been losing money, so I was thinking of ying them off.”

  “That’s perfect then. Don’t y them off for now. Call them i’s meet them.”

  The woman with the golden hair took out her phone and called the shop assistant, a girl named Fang Xiaoxuan. She etite and slim but was known to be very effit at work.

  After a brief introdu, Jiang Qin called Su Nai, instrug her to find Wei Lann and issue an 80,000 yuan invoi the name of the forum for the milk tea shop, named Xi Tian (Happy Sweet Milk Tea Shop).

  Then, he asked Su Nai t over the naming rights agreement for Feng Nanshu to sign.

  “Boss, what exactly are you doing?” Su Nai felt perplexed.

  Jiang Qin sighed, “It’s simply the whims of the wealthy.”

  “That’s impossible, I don’t believe it.”

  “The logic is simple. We o hype up the price of naming rights to increase advertisier. But Tongxing Driving School doesn’t trust us mud only offered 20,000 yuan. So, I had to buy a shop to create the hype myself.”

  “Then… Isn’t this shop a waste?” Su Nai found this roundabout method of problem-solving quite voluted.

  “Not a waste. The shop was struggling and offered at a low price. Its tinuous losses weren’t due to poor quality, but because it was overwhelmed by price wars, losing its er base. However, the popurity of the campus beauty test is still high. I pn to tie the test and this milk tea shop together, unch a bination strategy, and create an attractive sales report for the shop to show other merts.”

  Su Nai thoughtfully responded, “So, it used to be losing money, but it’ll turn profitable after the naming?”

  “That I ’t guarantee. Right now, it’s just specution. We’ll have to see how it goes when the campus beauty test starts. Moizing initial website traffic is tough, so it’s also a bit of an experiment.”

  After hearing this, Su Nai excimed, “Killing three birds with oone? Where do you get these ideas?”

  Jiang Qin looked at her disdainfully, “It’s the wisdom of our aors. Don’t you know how much business value a courtesan tests brought?”

  “??????”

  “Think about it more and stop watg those un-un-ungh-ah-ah videos all the time.”

  Su Nai pursed her lips, then shifted her attention to Feng Nanshu. This was her first time seeing someone so beautiful, fwless from every angle – beautiful eyes, lips, nose, simply geous everywhere.

  “You’re really beautiful,” she blurted out her thoughts.

  Feng Nanshu’s eyes sparkled, “You’re such a good person.”

  “Alright, no more fttery. Su Nai, if you don’t have csses, go optimize the program. We still have a css this afternoon. ’t be te for our first uy lecture. We o maintain some ceremonial sense.”

  Jiang Qin interrupted their mutual pliments ahe little rich dy towards the teag building.

  Uhe sunlight, the two with a height difference of teimeters – one in a shirt, the other in a dress – looked incredibly matched, like a se straight out of a romanovel.

  Huh?

  The first uy lecture?

  Su Nai’s gaze momentarily froze.

  Eh, eh, eh, wasn’t he supposed to be a senior student?
