Pretty and charming, dressed in the 90s, she's good at everything from making money to causing

"Father."

"No money?"

"Listen to me, you want to do business with me."

"Ok?"

I can't argue with her.

Jiang's father: "..."

Needless to say?

Isn't this normal?

Is he unable to win an argument?

He simply won't say anything!

The little girl could talk for half a year in a single day.

"Please come here."

"You guys together?"

"Yes."

"So what is the meaning you are conveying?"

Jiang Zong paused for three seconds, then repeated what he had just said: "Listen to what it means to do business with me."

Jiang's father: "...?"

For some reason, he could detect a hint of smugness in his eldest son's calm and rigid tone.

Lin Ting took the phone and explained her plans for the milk tea shop.

Mr. Jiang asked with some doubt: "Just opening a shop?"

"Originally, I just wanted to open a store," Lin heard, "but now I think it's possible to use Shenyang as a pilot city and gradually expand to the whole country in the future."

Mr. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's more like it."

He said, "How could my daughter's efforts be limited to just opening a shop?"

What he didn't expect was that Lin Ting initially only planned to open a shop to recoup some of her losses.

Plans are always changing.

Now that big investors have entered the market, Lin Ting naturally has to come up with a plan that better aligns with their vision.

Jiang's father asked, "Does Xiao Zong agree?"

“Hmm,” Lin Ting glanced at Jiang Zong, leaving him a way out, “As for the first step, he is willing.”

If things get bigger and stronger in the future, and Jiang Zong gets annoyed, with her as a preventative measure, Jiang's father can't force him.

"It's been so difficult," Mr. Jiang couldn't help but sigh softly.

Lin Ting smiled slightly and said, "Master, I really don't know anything about food. I can handle the operation and management, but those other things..."

"You don't need to worry about that, I'll have Lao Nie assemble a team for you..." As Jiang's father spoke, he realized something was amiss and asked, "What is Xiao Zong going to do?"

We can't just have him relay a message!

What's the point?

Lin Ting hesitated before suggesting, "The CFO?"

He finds dealing with numbers and ledgers more acceptable than dealing with a bunch of people.

"Well... that's fine too!" Mr. Jiang said, his voice lowering as he felt a headache coming on. "Daughter, if possible, let him get involved more."

Currently, Mr. Jiang is not very interested in a milk tea shop.

He hopes that Jiang Zong can learn from this experience the process of a project from its inception to its development.

Even if it allows him to experience failure along the way, it's still a good thing.

Learning to lose is also very important.

Lin Ting replied, "I'll try my best."

“Alright, you two don’t need to split things 50/50,” said Father Jiang. “When the two of you work together, it’s fine to divide things equally.”

"But……"

"Darling, don't always treat your master like an outsider," Mr. Jiang said with a gentle laugh.

"Okay, I'll have my brother treat me to hot pot tonight."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Jiang smiled as he looked at the recently placed photo frame on his desk.

The photo in the frame was sent to him by Yang Meiyun a few days ago; it was of Jiang Zong and Lin Ting.

Next to this framed photo is a picture identical to the one of the three people in Jiang Zong's room.

“Ah Yuan, our son is finally going to do something.”

"This brat has been saying he wants a little sister since he was little, and now he's actually listening to his sister..."

……

For the first time, Jiang Zong felt happy because Lin Ting's negotiations had failed.

He drank his milk tea, though he still thought the one Lin Ting made tasted better.

Lin Ting put down his mobile phone and said to him, "Master said that Uncle Nie will help us form a team, and I will be responsible for the subsequent operation. So what will you be responsible for?"

Lin Ting felt that Jiang Zong's personal wishes should be respected.

Jiang Zong's personal intention was very clear: "To help you count the money."

Lin Ting: "..."

She really understands him better than his own father!

Lin Ting thought about his master's thoughts and then considered Jiang Zong's personal wishes, and said, "How about this, we have nothing to do this afternoon, let's discuss the plan first."

"it is good."

Lin Ting took out the rough plan she had written in class and pulled Jiang Zong to study it together.

Lin Ting had no experience in the food business, but there were many successful cases to refer to.

Jiang Zong had never actually participated in any projects, but with a background in economics and having been exposed to it since childhood, he had a wealth of knowledge.

The two of them got together and chatted from afternoon to evening, even having hot pot in between, and came up with both short-term and long-term plans for the milk tea shop.

The first step in the short-term plan: rent a shop.

The first store was located at the entrance of Beiliao University.

No group is more open to and willing to try new things than college students, especially since this place is closer to them and easier to manage.

"Isn't this place...quite big?"

Jiang Zong looked at the cramped shop with a slightly bewildered expression.

The shop was only about twelve or thirteen square meters. Jiang Zong really couldn't believe that a shop could be so small.

"That's enough," Lin heard. "In the early stages of starting a business, we need to focus on increasing revenue and cutting costs."

Just as Jiang Zong was about to speak, Lin Ting covered his mouth.

Lin looked at the landlady pitifully and said, "Auntie, could you give me a discount?"

The landlady, munching on sunflower seeds, rolled her eyes upon hearing this: "Mr. Lin, the street is right across the street. Guess if I recognize you?"

Lin Ting blinked.

Recognized?

This is no big deal at all.

Lin Ting lied through her teeth: "Auntie, you've really mistaken me for someone else. Although the shop owner outside the window is beautiful, kind, and generous, I'm not her."

It's common knowledge that shamelessness leads to greater wealth.

Landlady: "..."

This person is really good at lying through their teeth.

When you get ruthless, you don't even approve of yourself?

"Okay, okay, one hundred yuan a month! That's the lowest I can go."

"Okay, let's sign the contract!"

Lin Ting happily signed the lease agreement with the landlady and immediately called Uncle Nie to ask the renovation team to come in.

The renovation was still being handled by Zhang's team, who had previously renovated the exterior of the window. The shop was small, and there weren't many things that needed to be changed. Captain Zhang made a solemn promise, stating that he would definitely complete the renovation in ten days at most.

The second step of the short-term plan: personnel training.

Lin Ting and Jiang Zong hardly need to worry about this.

Uncle Nie selected two clever waitresses with basic culinary skills from the hotel and had them learn to make milk tea from the head chef during off-peak hours.

This job isn't particularly difficult, but it's not exactly easy either.

It's not that milk tea is difficult to make, but rather that the chef has high standards.

The head chef was probably frightened by Lin Ting's words "chef's special recipe and recommendation," fearing that these two would damage his reputation if they went out, so he strictly required them to do it perfectly.

For ten whole days, the two girls were so exhausted that they could calculate the time without even looking at a clock.

Seeing how haggard they looked, Lin Ting gave each of them a red envelope.

The third step in the short-term plan: promotion.

In order to effectively fire the first shot, Lin Ting chose to stage a grand performance instead of big-character posters and radio propaganda.

For this reason, she even wrote a script that she herself found pretentious.
