"Punishing you tonight by not allowing you to dream about me... I'll forgive you tomorrow! (Rabbit scornfully looks up)"
As Xu Musen read the message, he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Tomorrow morning is too far away, isn't it? How about you forgive me after twelve o'clock tonight?"
"No way, at least... not before five in the morning! (Rabbit serious.)"
"How about one o'clock, just in time for me to start dreaming about you earlier?"
"Hmph, still no good, at least, at least it has to be four o'clock."
"Two o'clock."
"Three o'clock!"
"Deal! That means I only have about four or five hours before I can coax my dear wife again."
With this deal settled, An Nuannuan looked at the messages on her phone, the unhappy expression gone from her face, her lips curving into a smile sweet enough to kill.
"I've changed my mind, I want you to dream about me in just a bit, and then... keep coaxing me in the dream, or else I'm going to give you the silent treatment in the morning... (Rabbit blushing.)"
Xu Musen couldn't help but exclaim in his heart as he looked at his phone.
Ah, my wife is so adorable.
...
Xu Musen's birthday was fast approaching.
Father Xu and Mother Xu were already planning to take a plane trip to Huhai, partly to celebrate their son's birthday, and also to visit Ming Yue and meet their future daughter-in-law whom they hadn't had the opportunity to see yet.
"If you're busy, you don't have to pick us up. Your father and I can just take a taxi from the airport to your Aunt Liu's place. I've also made some snacks for Ming Yue and Nuannuan."
Mother Xu had already started packing, with bags big and small, most of them filled with snacks and gifts for the two girls.
"Mom, you're coming for your son's birthday, shouldn't you prepare some gifts for him?"
"You? As long as you don't starve, that's fine."
Mother Xu said unceremoniously.
But being a mother who would come all the way just to celebrate her son's birthday, how could she not care about her son?
"Alright, just let me know when you're on the plane, you never know, I might have a surprise to tell you too."
Xu Musen said a few words, laughing as he hung up the phone.
His parents hadn't traveled for many years, and this was the perfect opportunity to let them enjoy a few more days in Huhai.
Isn't that the meaning of making money?
As Xu Musen was contemplating, outside the milk tea shop, Zhou Hangyu rushed in like a whirlwind, grabbed a cup of iced water from the milk tea shop, and downed it in one go.
"Take it easy, you're not afraid of keeling over from drinking ice water in this hot weather?"
"Phew... I'm afraid I won't keel over but die of anger first!"
Zhou Hangyu caught his breath and seemed to be frustrated, "Brother Sen, didn't you instruct us to deal with those knockoff shops a few days ago?"
"What's the problem?"
Xu Musen asked him to take his time.
Zhou Hangyu spoke with some vexation, "Initially, following your advice, most of the shops slowly started to transfer ownership or were thinking of legitimately franchising with us. But recently, I don't know what happened, some shops suddenly changed their tune, and they've started getting fruit of the same quality as ours.
What's more, their price per cup is, oddly enough, exactly one yuan lower than ours. Isn't that just nasty?"
"A price war..."
Xu Musen also frowned slightly. A price war was the most direct but also the most costly strategy.
If it were a large company, that would be one thing, but how could these knockoff shops afford to spend so much money?
"Also, one or two major fruit suppliers have suddenly said that the demand for fruits has gone up recently and it's hard to preserve them due to the heat. In short, there are various reasons to raise the prices of fruits, and the margin is not small." Zhou Hangyu also brought the contract from the fruit suppliers that were planning to hike prices.
Xu Musen took a look. If these price hikes went through, it looked like he'd be spending all his milk tea money on these fruit vendors.
"I'll handle this matter later. As for the knockoff shops, persuade those who can be persuaded, and for those who can't, we'll take legal measures."
