"My own business? Is there anything more important than this collaboration?" Nana Kano frowned, looking at Xinyang with confusion, and asked anxiously. She couldn't understand what could be more important than collaborating with Ningguang at this critical moment.

"Of course!" Xinyang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a relaxed smile. He explained slowly, "The temple fair the day after tomorrow is the last one before the Lantern Festival. There will definitely be a dazzling array of things to see. We've been in Liyue for so long, and we've only been to that one small temple fair. How can we let this rare opportunity slip by?"

As soon as Xinyang said this, it was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise and worry. Nana Shikano was especially worried. She stepped forward and said anxiously to Xinyang, "Boss, don't be ridiculous! It's okay if you're not here normally, but right now is a crucial time. Why are you still thinking about going to the temple fair? This partnership with Ningguang is incredibly important to Bailu Shuanghua. Any misstep could leave a bad impression on those foreign merchants, and that would make it difficult for us to expand our business."

Seeing this, the others all echoed Nana Shikano and advised Xinyang not to take this matter lightly.

However, in the face of everyone's persuasion, Xinyang simply waved his hand and responded, "You misunderstood me. I didn't mean to abandon everyone in the store to deal with Ningguang and those merchants and go off to have a good time."

Xin Yang continued, "I'll be in the store with everyone during the day, but I'll try not to talk. I just want to see how everyone handles these matters on their own without my involvement or guidance. If Bai Lu Shuang Hua wants to develop in the long run, we have to let everyone be able to stand on their own two feet and give full play to their greatest abilities."

Xin Yang's eyes were filled with anticipation as he continued, "This collaboration is a perfect testing ground. While it's important, everyone already has a rough idea of ​​the day-to-day preparations. I'll be observing quietly from the sidelines. If I find any shortcomings or problems, I can then make targeted improvements."

Nana Shikano breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but she was still a little confused and couldn't help but ask, "Boss, why did you suddenly decide to do this? In the past, when we've dealt with important collaborations, you've always been at the forefront, taking control and leading everyone forward. This time, you're just watching from the sidelines, and I'm really unsure. Besides, this is a collaboration with Ningguang, and their requirements are always strict. If something goes wrong, it will be very difficult to deal with."

Xinyang smiled and asked, "Nana, let me ask you, why do you think Ningguang chose to work with us instead of those other milk tea shops?"

"That must be because we are the best milk tea shop in Liyue, and we have cooperated with Ningguang before." Nana Kano answered without hesitation.

"Then how much do you think I can contribute to our becoming the best milk tea shop in Liyue?" Xinyang asked with a smile.

"Of course it's the biggest. Boss, you coordinate the overall situation. From new product research and development to store operations, you are in control of every single one of them. Without you, our Bailu Shuanghua wouldn't be as successful as it is today." Nana Shikano said as a matter of course.

Xin Yang shook his head slightly and said, "You're not right, Nana. The reputation and status that Bai Lu Shuang Hua has today are not solely due to me. I'm often not in the store on weekdays, so it's basically every employee in our store who works hard to run the business. So, the biggest credit goes to you. That's why I dare to hand this matter over to you."

"Boss, you can't say that. Although you look like a hands-off boss on weekdays, you can always give the most correct direction at critical moments. Many important decisions are made by you. We really can't do without you." Nana Kano frowned, her face full of worry.

Xinyang smiled and patted Nana Shikano's shoulder, saying earnestly, "Nana, I chose you as deputy store manager because I value your abilities. I believe you have the skills to handle any emergencies and lead everyone to get things done. This cooperation is certainly crucial, but I also want to use this opportunity to give you and everyone else opportunities to gain experience and truly grow."

Xin Yang paused, then continued, "We at Bai Lu Shuang Hua have always relied on everyone's concerted efforts to overcome one obstacle after another. Whether I'm here or not, everyone's abilities are there; it's just that sometimes they lack the opportunity to demonstrate them individually. This time, I'm observing from the sidelines to see how far everyone can go without my constant guidance. This way, when we encounter similar collaborations or other important matters in the future, we'll be more adept at handling them."

Nana Shikano took a few deep breaths, mustered her courage, and said, "Okay, since you trust me so much, I'll try my best. But boss, you have to promise me that if we really encounter a big problem that we can't solve, you can't just stand by and watch. You have to help us right away."

Xin Yang smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course, Nana, I'll be watching from the sidelines. If anything gets tough, I won't ignore it. And I have confidence in you and everyone else. I believe that with the skills of everyone in our store, we can definitely handle this cooperation perfectly."

"Oh, right," Xinyang continued, as if suddenly remembering something. "I'll have a good talk with Ningguang and ask her to send as many people as possible. During the day, we'll entertain Ningguang and those foreign merchants and showcase the unique characteristics and strengths of our Bailu Shuanghua. In the evening, we'll have the people Ningguang sends to help watch the store for a while, while we all go to the temple fair and experience the grand event of Liyue."

Nana Kane said with some concern, "Boss, this is a good idea, but the people Ningguang sent aren't very familiar with our store. If we ask them to help watch the store, what if a customer asks about the characteristics of our milk tea and they can't answer or give the wrong answer? That would really affect our store's image. And what if something unexpected suddenly happens in the store, like a dispute between customers? If they don't have the experience and ability to deal with such a situation, what will they do?"

Hearing Nana's words, Xinyang gently patted her shoulder and said in a kind and soothing tone, "Nana, I have to say, you're very thoughtful and considerate, which is commendable. But you don't have to worry too much. In fact, Ningguang had already conducted in-depth and meticulous research on all the details of our milk tea when we first opened the shop. It's no exaggeration to say that Ningguang is probably even more knowledgeable about how to run this milk tea shop than we are! Moreover, her employees have all been strictly trained and screened before being selected, and they also possess very professional knowledge and skills. So, I believe they will be fine!"

After hearing Xinyang's explanation, everyone felt relieved and began to look forward to the temple fair the day after tomorrow.

"Um...Xinyang, Linghua, can I trouble you with something?" Keqing, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this moment.

"What's the matter? We will definitely help if we can." Xinyang and Linghua looked at Keqing in confusion, and the others also cast their eyes over.

Keqing blushed slightly and said with a hint of anticipation, "It's nothing serious. I was thinking, the night after tomorrow, you guys are going to the temple fair, and I'll be finishing my work for the day. Can I go with you guys to the temple fair then? Of course, if it's inconvenient for you, that's fine too. I can find someone else."
