"You’re talking about the national tea shop on the commercial street?" Niu Xiangxiu’s beautiful eyes held a trace of suspicion, unsure why Chen Nan would ask such a question out of the blue.
She knew that the national tea shop’s business was booming.
She also wanted to try it.
But.
The business was tremendously booming.
To make a purchase, one had to wait in line for at least half an hour.
She wouldn’t waste half an hour of her time for a cup of cold tea.
"I own the national tea shop," Chen Nan said with a smile. "If you don’t mind, I’d like to hire you as our artist, to create traditional Chinese themed artworks for our products."
Upon hearing this.
A look of unmistakable shock flashed across Niu Xiangxiu’s beautiful eyes; she obviously hadn’t expected Chen Nan to be the owner of the national tea shop.
This seemed unbelievable to her.
"If you’re not in a hurry, let me first take you to the shop, and treat you to a cup of cold tea!" Chen Nan said with a smile, then drove the Mercedes G-Class into the commercial street’s parking lot.
After getting out of the car, the two walked for three minutes and arrived at the cold tea shop.
Since it was already evening.
The commercial street was teeming with people.
Especially at the entrance of the cold tea shop, there was an even longer queue.
Once Chen Nan led Niu Xiangxiu into the shop, the staff there greeted him politely.
Then Chen Nan personally entered the preparation area and packed a cup of cold tea for Niu Xiangxiu to taste.
"Sister Xiangxiu, I am willing to offer a monthly salary of fifty thousand to hire you as the artist for our shop."
"Fifty thousand yuan?" Niu Xiangxiu was taken aback, shocked by the price Chen Nan offered.
To tell the truth.
She felt she wasn’t worth that much.
Chen Nan nodded earnestly: "I have a dream, which is to expand the national tea shop all over the country. Not only that, I want to package it, selling both offline and online."
"So, instead of hiring artists to create individual works, it’s better to hire an artist full-time."
Niu Xiangxiu hadn’t expected Chen Nan to be so ambitious. After pondering for a moment, a troubled expression appeared on her face, "But, my abilities are limited, I’m afraid I might not be up to the job."
She loved painting.
She could let her imagination run wild.
However.
Now, the thing she loved could not sustain her life, which troubled her deeply.
Even though Chen Nan offered her a high-paying job with a monthly salary of fifty thousand.
She still felt her skills were inadequate for the role.
Chen Nan’s mouth curved into an intriguing smile: "If I say you’re capable, then you are!"
With that.
He turned to a colleague and asked curiously, "Where did Manager Xu go?"
He had already appointed Xu Lu as the manager in the work group earlier.
"Manager Xu went to Starbucks to interview new staff," the colleague said.
Chen Nan nodded thoughtfully, then turned to Niu Xiangxiu: "Sister Xiangxiu, let’s go to Starbucks. I’ll have Manager Xu take care of your onboarding process."
Niu Xiangxiu, still somewhat bewildered, followed Chen Nan out of the cold tea shop and headed toward the Starbucks outside the commercial street.
Meanwhile, Chen Nan was also secretly contemplating whether to set up a large flagship store.
In doing so.
It would be convenient for customers to rest and talk business inside.
"Chen Nan, why did you hire me?" Niu Xiangxiu followed beside Chen Nan, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity and nervousness.
Chen Nan revealed a brilliant smile and said, as if it were a given, "Because you are my sister Xiangxiu!"
A wave of disappointment rose in Niu Xiangxiu’s heart.
She had thought Chen Nan would say he liked her…
Chen Nan naturally knew what kind of answer sister Xiangxiu wanted, but as a principled scoundrel, he would never take the initiative to confess his feelings to a woman.
Especially not to sister Xiangxiu.
This was the beloved daughter of his mentor, Niu Kai Xuan. If he hurt her, not only would Niu Kai Xuan never forgive him, but he would also feel guilty for betraying Niu Kai Xuan’s kindness.
Chen Nan said softly, "Sister Xiangxiu, you don’t need to feel any pressure with this job, just do as you please and draw whatever you like."
"Even if your ideas are wild and your imagination big, it doesn’t matter."
"After all, our Country Tea café is targeted at the younger audience."
"Young people like things that are unconventional."
"Yeah, as long as it’s cool and handsome, that’s fine."
Hearing Chen Nan’s words, Niu Xiangxiu’s eyes also showed a fervent light: "I already have an idea."
A moment later.
Chen Nan brought Niu Xiangxiu to Starbucks.
At this time, Xu Lu had smoothly completed the job interviews and successfully hired twenty-four young girls.
These girls were in the prime of their youth, aged between eighteen and twenty-four, like blossoming flowers at different stages of bloom.
Each of them possessed enviable tall figures, with heights over one meter sixty-five.
Standing there tall and graceful, they seemed as if they had stepped out of a painting.
Their faces each had distinctive features, some as pure as water, resembling morning lilies with dewdrops—fresh and elegant. Their fair complexions, clear eyes, and slightly upturned lips radiated the charm of innocence.
Some were as dazzling as fire, like roses passionately blooming in the summer sun—vivid and striking. Their deep eyes, high noses, and delicate red lips all exuded a temperament of enthusiastic confidence.
To the uninformed observer, this might appear to be a beauty pageant.
It was hard for anyone to imagine that such beautiful young women would be the workers of a herbal tea café.
Chen Nan nodded to Xu Lu in acknowledgment, and then sat down with Niu Xiangxiu to one side.
Ten minutes later.
Xu Lu, wearing red-soled high heels, walked over with an elegant gait.
She was dressed in a black slit cheongsam skirt, its hem swaying gently with her steps like a rose blooming in the night.
Her face wore an elegant smile, soft like moonlight yet emanating a mature charm.
Beside her was a young woman with the grace of a sprite.
She was petite but had an eye-catching curvaceous figure.
A loose white shirt hung casually on her body, unable to hide her proud curves.
Light blue jeans clung tightly to her long legs, accentuating a sexy and enchanting figure.
Her round cheeks were peachy and blushed with a healthy, natural glow as if kissed by the first rays of the morning sun.
Her bright eyes were incredibly animated, clear as a starry sky, twinkling with innocence and curiosity.
Her perky lashes fluttered like delicate little fans, adding a touch of playfulness and charm with every blink.
Her small, upright nose was like a finely crafted artwork placed perfectly on her exquisite face.
Her full, rosy lips curved slightly, often carrying a sweet smile like a blossoming flower that warmed the heart, making all troubles seem to melt away.
Despite Xu Lu’s own unique charm, she seemed to pale a little in the presence of this woman’s pure aura. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
She was like a pristine lily emitting a subtle yet captivating fragrance in a worldly setting, irresistibly drawing people closer to experience her distinctive allure.
She was the embodiment of a youthful beauty with an ample bust!
