King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

Li Changqing and Hu Weihao found it hard to believe that Ye Lan was already thinking about opening a branch store on the first day of business.

Is this the unique strategic vision of a jungler?

That's absolutely terrifying.

As Ye Lan watched more and more people flood into the shop, she couldn't help but smile.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

.........

As night falls, the CBD, with its towering buildings, remains brightly lit, with countless office workers working overtime late into the night to rush out plans.

There is also an office named "Xueyao".

Ye Lan sat in the center, with Li Changqing next to him. Team leaders from various departments sat on either side of the table, while the employees had already left work to rest.

For a startup company, the pressure on leaders is much greater than that on employees.

Ye Lan, as the head of the company, was under immense pressure, while Li Changqing, the boss in name only, was the most relaxed.

However, Ye Lan now owns half of the company's shares, a percentage that even exceeds that of Li Changqing, so it's no exaggeration to say that he is the real company boss.

Half of these shares were given to him by Li Changqing, and the other half were bought by Ye Lan from Li Changqing with his own money, since he didn't want to work for someone else.

Li Changqing didn't care about this, after all, he knew very well that he would never succeed in starting a business on his own.

Since that's the case, why not just put all our eggs in Ye Lan's basket?

At least it proves that I have a good eye for people.

"Let's report on today's profits," Ye Lan said calmly, her fingers interlaced.

Upon hearing this, a woman in a black uniform slowly stood up, opened the blue folder in her hand. Her name was Li Yue, and she was the accountant Ye Lanxin had hired.

Compared to carefree guys, meticulous girls are more suited to finance jobs.

"Our store sold a total of 587 servings on the first day, with a total profit of 20545 yuan."

"Great! We made 20,000 on the first day! This is awesome!" Li Changqing raised his hands, looking like he had won a battle.

Other employees were so excited they clenched their fists, as if the company's IPO was just around the corner.

"What's so good about it? I guess we didn't make a single penny, and we even lost a lot of money," Ye Lan said dejectedly, resting her chin on her hand.

Li Yue nodded, "That's right. After deducting employee costs, renovation costs, store costs, and raw material costs, we lost a total of 15,000 yuan on the first day!"

"Ah! We lost so much?" Li Changqing stared in disbelief.

Although 15,000 yuan is nothing to him, a rich second-generation, what is their purpose in starting a business?

make money!

Just like going to work, everyone's there for the money.

If starting a business doesn't make money and even loses money, what's the difference between that and paying someone to work?

Hu Weihua snorted coldly, "I still think the problem is that the price is too high. If we had followed my pricing, the sales would have exceeded a thousand on the first day."

“Selling at the original price according to your pricing would be a loss-making business,” Ye Lan rolled her eyes.

"I told everyone beforehand that the first day of business is just about building up the business and attracting customers. It's normal to lose a little money. You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Don't worry about this small amount of money."

"Let's not talk about that now. I'll assign tasks for tomorrow."

"Shi Rongjin, the head of the logistics department, will increase the procurement of raw materials tomorrow and prepare enough for 3000 cups."

Li Changqing was not calm after hearing this.

"You only sold 500 cups on the first day, and you're buying raw materials for 3,000 servings on the second day? Are you crazy?"

Ye Lan's actions had left him completely baffled.

Increasing sales based on 500 is a good thing, but increasing it to 3000 at once seems too much, like trying to get fat in one bite.

"Don't worry, my prediction won't be wrong. Besides, tomorrow is the weekend," Ye Lan said confidently.

Li Changqing immediately understood that weekends were for everyone to rest, and the flow of people in the trade building would reach its peak again at that time.

However, he still felt that 3000 was too much, and that half of that would be more reasonable.

But now Ye Lan is the company boss, so Li Changqing can only dream of intervening.

"The production and promotion departments will have to work a bit harder tomorrow. We'll give out bonuses to reward the guys then."

"Great."

"Long live the boss."

After Ye Lan gave a few more innocuous instructions on the plan, the company meeting came to an end.

Everyone left one after another.

Ye Lan was the last to leave. She turned off the office lights and then picked up her phone to send a message to Lin Xueyao.

"I've finished taking care of things here and will be back soon."

"Then I'll go wash my feet now," Lin Xueyao replied obediently.

"Don't bother washing up, the stars are so bright today, let's go for a walk!"

Are we going to the food street?

Ye Lan could already imagine Lin Xueyao, that gluttonous girl, drooling.

"If you want to go, I'll take you. Remember to wear a jacket; it's quite cold at night."

"Uh-huh."

For work convenience, Ye Lan later rented another apartment that was closer to the company.

When he arrived at the dormitory building, Lin Xueyao had been waiting for him for a long time.

Today, she was wearing a long black down jacket, revealing a section of her shapely calves wrapped in fleece-lined black stockings, and brown leather shoes with high heels. Standing under the orange streetlights, she looked playful and cute.

A cold wind blew by, and she hid half of her face in an orange scarf, leaving only her two bright eyes peeking out as she looked around.

When Lin Xueyao saw Ye Lan, her eyes lit up, and she ran over to him.

"Brother, hug me~".

Lin Xueyao drew out each word, her soft and sweet voice making it impossible to refuse.

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

Ye Lan pretended to be impatient, picked up Lin Xueyao, and like an old father teasing his daughter, spun her around, his legs gliding lightly through the air, forming a beautiful arc.

Lin Xueyao was amused and smiled broadly. Her eyes were clear, and a bright moon was reflected in them, making her look radiant and beautiful.

After a series of actions, Ye Lan pretended to have sore shoulders and back, "Xueyao, have you been secretly eating good things behind my back lately? You seem to have gained a lot of weight?"

Lin Xueyao stared wide-eyed, her peach blossom eyes slightly reddening, "I think about you so much every day that I have no appetite, how could I possibly get fat?"

Ye Lan's heart skipped a beat. He really hadn't expected Lin Xueyao to answer like that, and he couldn't help but tenderly rub her head.

"That's it then. According to medical research, people will gain weight even if they don't eat when they are in a bad mood. So you have to eat properly from now on, otherwise I won't be able to pick you up."

Lin Xueyao listened to Ye Lan's bluff, "Really...really?"

Don't you believe me?

"I trust you. Shall we go buy some food now?"

"set off!"

Lin Xueyao put her small hand into Ye Lan's pocket, and the two intertwined their fingers.

The bright streetlights cast long shadows of the two people, making them appear to be nestled together from a distance.
