NOVPUBChen Nan furrowed his brows, clearly not expecting Nie Xiaoyu to want to rent those two beverage stores. Collecting himself, he couldn’t help but ask, "Are you thinking of opening branches?"
Nie Xiaoyu nodded gravely and didn’t hide her thoughts, "Our shop’s production capacity is limited, and if we want to grow, opening branches is indeed the best approach."
"I was thinking of waiting until our \\"National Tea\\" has firmly established itself on the commercial strip before opening branches in several major malls. Now, it seems like Honey Language Tea House and Zhen Fruit Pavilion are the best choices."
"Although they are close by, that also makes them convenient to manage. Plus, there are several large office buildings nearby, so I’m not worried about sales at all."
Chen Nan replied, "What you say makes sense, but those two stores are much larger than ours. Taking over those two would indeed involve a significant amount of money."
Nie Xiaoyu suddenly fell silent. Although National Tea had made some money during this period, it totaled less than two hundred thousand, and taking over those two shops was unrealistic.
Nie Xiaoyu said, "I’ll try to get in touch with the owners of the Honey Language Tea House and Zhen Fruit Pavilion tomorrow to feel them out."
Xu Lu’s voice then rang out, "Sister Xiaoyu, if you approach them, they will definitely try to take advantage of the situation. After all, the reason they can’t keep going is primarily because we’ve impacted their business. How could they possibly transfer the shops to us at a low price?"
"In my opinion, the best way is to have two strangers talk to them. That way, we can definitely negotiate a much lower price."
Nie Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully, feeling that Xu Lu had a point.
Chen Nan spoke softly, "Don’t worry about this. I’ll have two friends handle the negotiations with them tomorrow."
With Chen Nan’s words, Nie Xiaoyu felt much more at ease.
After dinner.
Nie Xiaoyu took a bathrobe and entered the bathroom.
Chen Nan lazily sat on the sofa, picked up his phone, and sent a message to Zhou Long, asking him to have two guys contact the owners of Honey Language Tea House and Zhen Fruit Pavilion tomorrow to inquire about leasing the two shops.
Just then.
Xu Lu, having finished cleaning, came over with an alluring smile. She seductively sat in Chen Nan’s lap with an amorous look and said, "Second boss, I’ve missed you."
Damn!
Chen Nan jumped in shock at her actions, especially since Nie Xiaoyu was also in the house—he didn’t dare to mess around with Xu Lu.
He anxiously looked towards the bathroom and whispered sharply, "Are you trying to get us killed?"
Xu Lu’s eyes were sultry, "I want you to do me to death."
Seeing her provocative demeanor and her provocative words, Chen Nan felt a surge of lust, his mouth went dry, and he obviously responded physically as well.
However, he didn’t lose his sense.
He nervously gulped and whispered softly, "Stop it, get up."
"Sister Xiaoyu takes a long time to shower, over twenty minutes every time. During this period, I belong to you." Xu Lu said, her eyes hazy as she wrapped her arms around Chen Nan’s neck.
Looking at Chen Nan’s unmoved expression, she revealed a sly smile, "Second boss, don’t you think doing this while Sister Xiaoyu is showering is thrilling?"
Before Chen Nan could regain his composure, she knelt between his legs, released his pride, and then saucily took it into her mouth.
"Stop licking, come on up!"
Chen Nan breathed heavily, unable to wait any longer.
Indeed, as Xu Lu had said.
Doing this while Nie Xiaoyu was in the shower with Xu Lu was indeed a very thrilling affair.
Xu Lu immediately lifted her cheongsam skirt, revealing sensual black thong underwear beneath, and then...
She turned her back to Chen Nan and slowly sat down.
A low and joyful moan also escaped her lips.
"Keep your voice down."
Chen Nan whispered, not wanting Xu Lu’s cries to be too loud.
Xu Lu’s face was flushed as she hummed softly, her pearly teeth lightly biting her red lips, struggling to make no sound at all.
Although they couldn’t moan unrestrainedly, the thrill of the affair made them both extremely excited.
As a result,
Chen Nan lasted only ten minutes before he poured all his heat into Xu Lu.
It wasn’t his fault he was so quick.
After all, state of mind is paramount in such matters.
Being in an affair with Xu Lu already had him highly strung, not to mention the visual impact of her fair and plump buttocks swaying before his eyes was quite intense.
Having received Chen Nan’s nourishment, Xu Lu also showed a contented look on her face, her cheeks a rosy red, "This timing is just right, it doesn’t feel too tiring."
"I’ll head back to my room first," Chen Nan didn’t stay any longer as the sound of the shower had stopped.
Clearly, Nie Xiaoyu had finished bathing and would soon come out.
He didn’t want Nie Xiaoyu to detect anything between him and Xu Lu.
A night without incident.
The next day.
Nie Xiaoyu got up early to make a lavish breakfast, feeling guilty because she hadn’t cooked for Chen Nan in several days.
After eating, she left home and went to the herbal tea shop.
As for Xu Lu, she stayed at home to simmer brain tonic soup.
She was not only the manager of the herbal tea shop,
but also in charge of preparing the brain tonic soup.
It seemed like an easy job, but it was actually very important.
Because all the brain tonic soup sold by the tea shop was prepared by her and calling her a vital pillar of the shop was no exaggeration.
Xu Lu, wearing an apron, walked cheerfully out of the kitchen.
She sat sideways on Chen Nan’s lap, her eyes filled with big question marks, "Second boss, can’t the brain tonic soup be mass-produced?"
Chen Nan frowned, not quite understanding what she meant.
Xu Lu explained, "I mean, finding a factory to process it, which would greatly increase our production capability."
"Once production is increased, we could start bottling it."
"Then we could not only sell it in stores but also both online and offline."
"Do you think this would make us earn more?"
Something clicked in Chen Nan’s mind, but he didn’t interrupt Xu Lu as he listened intently.
Xu Lu continued, "We need to expand the scale, not just limit ourselves to Jizhou but look nationwide."
"I went to a supermarket yesterday and noticed that the traces of carbonated drinks had disappeared from the shelves, replaced by many low-sugar or sugar-free tea beverages."
"Those tea drinks are not only healthier than carbonated drinks but are also more expensive, yet their sales are high, favored by the young people."
"What does this tell us?"
"It shows that Chinese consumers are increasingly focusing on healthy beverages."
"Just think, if those regular tea drinks can secure a spot in supermarkets, why can’t our herbal tea?"
"If we could bottle it and sell both online and offline, why worry about not being able to grow and prosper, making a fortune every day?"
