Chapter 710: Chapter 246: Milk Tea Shop Opening: The First Cup of Milk Tea in Autumn
After making the arrangements and hanging up, Li Yuan suddenly recalled another issue: the safety of his family and girlfriend.
He had yet to truly start competing in the business world, so everything had been peaceful so far. But as his enterprise grew, it was very likely he would encounter some "accidents." An open attack is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is hard to defend against. Those real business tycoons almost all have bodyguards to ensure their personal safety.
Li Yuan thought it over and felt it was necessary. He needed to find a few bodyguards who could also serve as full-time drivers to protect his family. Even if they might not be needed, it was better to be safe than sorry, and they could still serve a purpose. He decided to continue delegating this task to Tan Zhonghua.
"Old Tan, help me find a few bodyguards, the kind with real skills."
Hearing that Li Yuan had another task for him, Tan Zhonghua was delighted and nodded quickly. "Boss, rest assured. I’ll find some good ones for you as soon as possible."
"Mm," Li Yuan said. "Let’s leave it at that. Report anything that happens over there to me immediately."
"Understood, Boss!"
...
After hanging up, Li Yuan walked over to the anxiously waiting Xia Zhijin and patted her head, comforting her. "Zhijin, I’ve already made arrangements. You and your cousin don’t need to worry too much. You’ll see the results soon. Those bastards from the Yin family will definitely receive the punishment they deserve."
Xia Zhijin nodded obediently and thanked him sincerely, "Husband, thank you!"
Li Yuan chuckled, teasing her, "Since you’re already calling me husband, isn’t this what I should do? There’s no need for us to be so formal with each other."
"Mhm!" Xia Zhijin’s bright eyes curved into crescents, revealing her happy mood.
Li Yuan smiled. "Zhijin, it’s getting late. My mom’s at home cooking and waiting for us. Let’s go home."
Xia Zhijin hummed shyly in agreement. Her initial nervousness about meeting Li Yuan’s mother had faded, and she was starting to get used to it.
Li Yuan chuckled. "My mom keeps nagging me to bring you home. Tonight, she made some specialty dishes from our hometown and is waiting for you to come home and eat."
Her eyes curving into crescents again, Xia Zhijin murmured softly, "Oh, but I can cook too."
"Hahaha, you silly girl, you even want to take over cooking," Li Yuan smiled, taking her hand and starting to walk back. "Don’t worry about it. My mom gets bored just sitting around at home, so don’t deprive her of the joy of cooking."
...
「On November 5th」
Li Yuan, accompanied by Zhong Tingyue, arrived at the flagship store of Tea Color Moonlight, located in the Longyu Building.
Today was the last day before the grand opening, reserved for the final training of the newly recruited frontline staff. As a brand with great future prospects, Li Yuan placed immense importance on this milk tea shop. From the storefront and decorations to the production, packaging, and staff, he had meticulously selected and prepared everything. He was aiming to establish the most high-end and famous tea beverage brand in the country.
He and Zhong Tingyue had even personally interviewed and selected the frontline service staff. In short, there was one main requirement: a good figure, an attractive appearance, and to be relatively young. Correspondingly, Li Yuan offered very high wages, far exceeding those of other milk tea shops on the market. This was, in essence, paying for "good looks."
When Li Yuan pulled up in his Porsche 911 with Zhong Tingyue and arrived at the Tea Color Moonlight flagship store in the Longyu Building, over forty young men and women were already standing out front. From a distance, the chatter of the onlooking crowd was audible. Although Modu was a metropolis teeming with beauties, seeing so many attractive young people gathered in one place was still remarkably eye-catching.
*What kind of shop is this? It looks so high-end, with a very modern design. But the storefront isn’t that large. Does it really need so many employees?*
*Take a closer look at those girls. They’re all quite pretty, most of them are over 1.65 meters tall, and wearing those uniforms that look a bit like qipaos gives them a very refined air.*
*TSK, TSK. While none of them are drop-dead gorgeous, wearing those outfits gives off a certain uniform-fetish appeal. Who knows what they’re up to?*
*Get a little closer and look carefully. There’s a logo on their chests. The font looks special... are those the words "Tea Color Moonlight"?*
*Holy crap, you’re such a perv, staring right at the girls’ chests! You freak...*
Amidst the crowd’s gawking, Li Yuan, dressed in a casual suit and holding hands with Zhong Tingyue, who looked every bit the sophisticated urbanite, arrived at the entrance of Tea Color Moonlight.
Seeing them arrive, the manager, Su Yunting, immediately stepped forward and greeted them with a smile. "Hello, Director Li. Hello, President Zhong!"
Li Yuan looked at the manager before him. He had hired the twenty-eight-year-old Su Yunting at great expense, and she carried the distinct aura of a mature and capable woman. She was responsible for the shop’s product marketing and other business operations. With prior experience as a sales manager in the food and beverage industry, she was highly experienced and showed great potential by quickly grasping Li Yuan’s vision after he had shared some of his ideas.
Li Yuan smiled and asked, "President Su, is everyone here?"
"Director Li, everyone is here," Su Yunting replied with a highly professional demeanor. "As you requested, I have already completed the business training, covering all the preliminary arrangements and introductions. They are all ready to start their roles immediately." For the past few days, she had been training the employees according to Li Yuan’s instructions, covering everything from etiquette and service attitude to milk tea preparation.
