No. [-]: The second cup of milk tea
Lu Chi scratched his head. There was no picture of him in this Weibo, nor was his name mentioned. Why did Xiang Cha think it must be about him?
Is it because of the "slow delivery speed" indirectly reflected the road idiot attribute?
He won't admit it.
Thinking about Ah Q for a while, Lu Chi looked up, the weather was fine today, the sun shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the mulberry tree above his head, Lu Chi felt that summer was coming.
The weather is gradually getting hotter, and naturally more people order cold drinks to take away.Thinking about it this way, Lu Chi saw another delivery man coming over on his own scooter.
Lu Chi took a look, and let out a laugh.
Isn't this a coincidence?
The delivery boy also parked his car under the tree, next to Lu Chi.
Lu Chi leaned over to talk to him: "How about a cold drink?"
"Yeah," the little brother nodded. It's past lunch time. Aren't the takeaway orders this afternoon all filled with milk tea? He took off his helmet and gave Lu Chi a sideways glance, "You too?"
Lu Chi smiled, nodded, and moved closer: "Which building did you send it to?"
"Building F."
"What a coincidence, I also sent it to building F." Lu Chi's eyes lit up, trying not to sound too cheerful.
He already had a bold idea in his mind.
"Then why are you standing here?" The little brother stepped back and looked at him, feeling suspicious.
"I..." Lu Chi hesitated. It's hard to say that Lu Chi couldn't find his way. The first time we met, he was going to expose his Lu Chi attributes. Wouldn't that be to make fun of the generosity of the food delivery industry?Turning his mind, Lu Chi just avoided the important point and said, "I, I came to this park for the first time today..."
He almost bit his tongue when he said this mixed truth.
"Oh... It's really hard to find the way for the first time," he said, and the little brother understood, nodded to express his understanding, and raised his finger in a direction, "Then you can go up with me, right here there."
Lu Chi's heart moved, this was his purpose from the beginning, to let someone who knew the way take him up, but he didn't expect this little brother to be so talkative.
He responded, opened the incubator happily, and saw more than 30 cups of milk tea lying in it, and then suddenly remembered—his customer, Mr. Xia, just said he would come down to look for him a while ago, and he might have gone downstairs by now coming.
"Why don't you move?" The little brother took two steps and saw that Lu Chi didn't move with the incubator open, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he felt more and more suspicious.
"Ah, I'm sorry," Lu Chi also realized, and quickly took out the milk tea.
It's not easy to confess that he is not only Lu Chi, but also waiting for the customer to come down to pick him up... He had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the little brother in front of him, maybe he could meet Mr. Xia halfway.
More than 30 cups of milk tea are enough to take out, so the little brother stepped forward to help him carry some, and glanced at the logo on the packaging bag: "You are from Le Tea."
Lu Chi nodded, and carried most of it by himself, so much milk tea in his hand looked very spectacular, the little brother looked at the three cups of cold drinks in his hand, and said jokingly: " Still a big list."
"I just delivered it for someone today." Speaking of this, Lu Chi felt a little delicate, because he was delivering it for someone else, so no matter how big the list was, he couldn't count it on his head.
Having said that, the little brother naturally understood what he meant, so he nodded and sighed casually: "That's really embarrassing."
Lu Chi fiddled with the badge on his body that had someone else's name on it, curled his lips, and stopped talking.
He followed the little brother into the side door of the building, and saw a tall and long-legged man coming out of the elevator. The man kept staring at the two of them as soon as he came out. Lu Chi felt a little baffled, and fearlessly Eye to eye with that person.
The two looked at each other suspiciously until they passed by.
Lu Chi tilted his head, followed the other brother into the elevator, pressed the floor, and when he was about to close the elevator door, he heard a loud cry from outside the elevator, and then saw the long-legged boy slithering away from the outside Squeeze in.
Lu Chi quickly pressed the door open button, watching the long-legged brother enter the elevator in shock.Although the little brother had no expression on his face, Lu Chi somehow felt that he was being targeted.
The little brother frowned and looked at him twice: "Didn't I tell you to wait for me downstairs?"
"……what?"
When Xia Xingchuan got out of the elevator door, he happened to see someone delivering food, so he couldn't help but take a second look.
Behind this delivery man was another delivery boy, it seemed that the two were not from the same family.The little brother behind noticed his gaze and looked back at him fearlessly.
So he just looked at each other like this for a while, and when the two moved away, he glanced at the person carrying an unusually large amount of milk tea, and vaguely remembered something, and when he looked back, he saw that the person was walking into the elevator, but The word "LeCha" printed on the back of the small vest is very eye-catching.
"Ah!" Si Li!
Xia Xingchuan's body was faster than his brain, he rushed over and squeezed in before the elevator door closed.
Brother Le Cha was clearly taken aback by his actions, and hurried to press the door button.Xia Xingchuan stood still, and glanced at the badge on Brother Le Cha's chest, "You Yu", he remembered the name.
As a young man in the new century who loves desserts, Xia Xingchuan is naturally not the first time to drink Lecha, a local brand of milk tea with a good reputation. He has also invited company employees to drink it before. , Not only did it not arrive in time, but the delivery man also lost his way and was still waiting downstairs for him to come up by himself. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he didn't know how long he would be left downstairs.
Thinking of this, Xia Xingchuan became angry, his face darkened: "Didn't I ask you to wait for me downstairs?"
"...Ah?" Even though Lu Chi's confusion was sprayed by a stranger at the beginning, he quickly came to his senses and asked tentatively, "Is it Mr. Xia?"
His cautious attitude made Xia Xingchuan calm down temporarily, but his expression was still very bad: "Otherwise?"
Lu Chi choked on him, flattened his mouth, and explained: "I just saw that this little brother was coming up too, so I followed up, thinking that maybe I could meet you again... Isn't it really a meeting?" up."
Xia Xingchuan's head got dizzy when he heard it, and he wanted to ask him, "You haven't even seen my face before, so you are so sure you will meet me?"But because there was another person listening in the elevator, I held back for now.
The passer-by takeaway boy also seemed to feel that the atmosphere was not harmonious, so he stood in the corner without saying a word, trying to reduce his sense of existence, and ran away as soon as his floor arrived.
They were the only ones left in the elevator after he left.
Before the passerby brother left, he returned the milk tea that Lu Chi had carried for him. Xia Xingchuan looked at Lu Chi's small body, who looked pitiful with dozens of cups of milk tea, curled his lips, cut his head straight, and took the dozen or so cups. Come and carry it yourself.
Lu Chi saw that he was holding the milk tea and didn't say a word, and he didn't dare to speak, anyway, it was his own fault.
He felt that it was not good for the customer to carry the milk tea by himself. He tried many times to take things from Xia Xingchuan, but was overwhelmed by Xia Xingchuan's cold face, so he gave up.
But this Mr. Xia's face is actually quite pretty.After hesitating to speak again, Lu Chi peeked at his customer, and quietly rated his appearance in his heart.
It's just that the face is too dark, so 1 point will be deducted symbolically.
It's not that Xia Xingchuan didn't notice that the child on the opposite side looked at him from time to time. From the corner of his eye, he saw the other party changing two unusually heavy milk teas from time to time, and couldn't help feeling the weight on his hands.
It's really heavy.
Xia Xingchuan curled his lips, admitting in his heart that delivering food was really hard work, especially the skinny and tender kid in front of him, who looked like he hadn't even graduated from university yet.
But - this is not a reason for overtime non-delivery.
"If you don't know the way," Xia Xingchuan said thoughtfully, "don't choose this kind of part-time job as a food delivery job. Working part-time is not easier than delivering food, especially if you are still a road idiot."
"...Huh?" Lu Chi was wandering at first, but he didn't realize what he was saying for a while, and it took him a while to realize what he was talking about.
I'm afraid he is not regarded as a college student who came out to work and subsidize his family?
Lu Chi has a baby face. When he graduated from high school, he was often asked by people he didn’t know what grade he was in now. When he went out to work in college, he was considered a child laborer. After graduation, he was always taken for granted that he was still in college. .
After all these years, he was tired of explaining, and when he heard someone say that again, he just opened his mouth, as if hesitating to speak, but finally shut up.
Anyway, this time, he wasn't a delivery man in this area, so it was useless to explain so much.
So he nodded perfunctorily, and with a serious look on his face, he said nonsense: "You are right, I also plan to quit after this period of time, and it's time for the exam when the end of the semester comes."
Xia Xingchuan's complexion improved a bit.
When they arrived at the company, the two put more than 30 cups of milk tea at the front desk. Lu Chi took out the takeout order and said, "Check the order and see if there are any mistakes or omissions."
Xia Xingchuan took the list, but didn't read it, he called his colleagues to come to the front desk to claim their own milk tea, while winking at the lady at the front desk.The lady at the front desk understood and went to the innermost room in the office area.
Lu Chizai waited at the door for a while. The company smelled like a bakery. It smelled sweet and made people feel happy.
The milk tea at the front desk was claimed by others, Xia Xingchuan confirmed that everyone got his own cup, and then came out and said to Lu Chi: "That's right, the milk tea is right."
Lu Chi nodded, stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait," Xia Xingchuan called to stop him, just as the lady at the front desk came out with a plate, Xia Xingchuan pointed to the plate at Luchi, "Eat something before we go."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lu Chi to react, he went back to the office area first.
"Eh?" Lu Chi was a little flattered, looking at the young lady at the front desk, "Is this for me?"
"Thank you for delivering the food." The lady at the front desk obviously liked Lu Chi's little milk dog's face, and smiled sweetly at him, "I invite you to eat this sea salt croissant, it is a new product that our company will launch soon."
Lu Chi's eyes lit up when he heard this, it was the first time he met a food delivery person who could still eat by himself: "Wow, can I eat?"
The young lady handed him the plate and pushed him to sit on the small sofa at the door: "Eat, eat, eat before leaving."
The author has something to say: Passing by, one for each favorite message~
No.: The third cup of milk tea
Lu Chi finished his bread and went downstairs, only to find that the delivery boy who had brought him upstairs just now was leaning on his scooter and smoking.
"Have you left yet?" Lu Chi walked over to greet him, and caught a glimpse of the nameplate pinned to his chest, with the word "He Lai" written on it.
"Ah," Brother He saw him coming, and smiled, "I don't have any orders for this afternoon, so I'll take a rest." As he spoke, he poked his cigarette case in front of Lu Chi, "One?"
"No, no, I don't smoke." Lu Chi smiled and didn't answer.
He wasn't in a hurry to leave, he was supposed to be resting today, and it was just a matter of dropping by when he came to this district to help deliver the food, and he had nothing to do after delivering the order.
"I really envy the riders on your food delivery platform. If you have an order, you can pick it up as soon as you want." Lu Chi said enviously, and under the shade of the mulberry tree, he dug out a bottle of sunscreen spray from under the seat cushion of the battery car, and slapped it on himself Spray on your body.
"What's there to be envious of?" He Lai took another puff of cigarette, spit it out slowly, and glanced at him, "Your brand's self-signed rider is the best. You only need to be responsible for delivering milk tea, and it's not even lunch time during peak hours. Son, at least I can eat on time... Hey, what are you spraying on yourself?"
"Huh? You mean this?" Lu Chi was stunned, and passed the spray bottle in his hand, "This is sunscreen, do you want to use some? It's tasteless."
He Lai's expression became subtle in an instant, and he waved his hand: "No need."
Lu Chi withdrew his hand, probably guessing what he was thinking, and didn't care, he just explained with a smile: "I'm not afraid of getting tanned, but my mother doesn't want me to be tanned, so she keeps nagging and forcing me I spray it when I have nothing to do, I feel cool and comfortable after spraying it, and it doesn’t have that kind of motherly chirping fragrance, so I just use it.”
"Hmm." He Lai let out such an unintelligible hum from his throat, thinking that you don't need to explain it like this, took another puff of cigarette, saw that Lu Chi had sprayed the spray and still hadn't moved, picked it up Raising eyebrows, "Are you still leaving?"
Lu Chi laughed mischievously, as the saying goes, you have to do a full set of acting, but you can't expose the fact that you are Lu Chi, so he had to take out the old stalk again: "Then what... isn't this my first time here... I I can't quite find the way, you good people do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west..."
"It's gotta——" He Lai was also afraid of him, he knew that he shouldn't have taken the matter of taking him upstairs in the first place, and now he still relies on him, "Wait until I finish smoking .”
Lu Chi nodded his head in a polite manner, "Hey, take it easy!"
While waiting for Brother He Lai to finish smoking, Lu Chi took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to his employer, Mr. Xia, who had just completed the transaction.
——This is his usual routine. He knows that he is late, so the delivery is always slow, but he also knows that his face is very useful, so every time after delivering the milk tea, he will send a text message to the employers, sincerely While expressing apology, they will be cute and miserable by the way, and in the end they will forgive him for his sake, and even give him a good review.
So much so that he automatically ignored that the employer this time was a big man, and he kept expressing his dislike for Lu Chi's delivery of food.
So what?A man who can ask him to eat bread will never be too bad-hearted!
The kind-hearted man was about to come out of the company at this time, and said to the lady at the front desk: "I'll go to the new store in District A."
As soon as I turned around and hadn't left the gate, I felt my phone vibrate. I took it out and saw it was a strange yet familiar number.
"Hello, I'm the rider who delivered the food to you just now. I hope you can spare some time to give me a good review. A good review costs two yuan. A bad review will result in a fine of two hundred and a forced two-day rest. Two days is not a day. If you earn money, please understand, thank you."
……what?
Xia Xingchuan felt that it was necessary to give this "You Yu" a bad review, didn't he mean that he had to rest for two days?Just in time to give him time to prepare for his final exams.
Even though he thought so, he still didn't open the app to do so, he just turned back and told the front desk: "Next time, I'll order Le Cha's takeaway, and make a note not to let that person named You Yu deliver it again."
"Ah?" The lady at the front desk originally saw that the boss was about to go out, and was about to take out the phone to play a mobile game for a while, but when she saw the boss folded it back, she was so scared that her phone almost fell to the ground, she nodded quickly, "Okay, okay of."
Xia Xingchuan didn't seem to see her actions, didn't say anything, just nodded, and then left.
Lu Chi sent the small battery and the small vest work clothes back to the store. He could have just left and went straight to get off work, but he remembered the call Xiangcha had made to him before, and simply returned to the store in District A.
At this time, the busiest time in the afternoon on weekdays had passed, and the store was not so busy at the moment. Xiang Cha also came out from behind the bar, and found a random place to sit and watch dramas.
"Sister," Lu Chi walked in, looked around and found that there was no one else in the shop except Xiang Cha, "You are the only one in the shop?"
Xiangcha is the founder of the LeCha brand. He has opened many stores in Haishi. He is only in his early 30s and has already managed a successful business. However, he is also a master who can’t stay in the office. This main store has opened a small office, the owner is also the store manager, who can make money and make milk tea.
"Hey, Lu Chi is back, come in and have a seat." Xiang Cha also saw him coming in, and raised his hand to beckon him to come in and sit down.
"Where are they people?" In addition to Xiangcha, there are naturally milk tea employees in the store, and there is also a delivery guy like him, although he can also help out when there is no delivery order in the store. One or two cups of milk tea, but there are very few times when there is no delivery order, and he still runs outside more often.
"When I called you this afternoon, it was very busy. After that, it gradually became less busy. Let them go back to rest for a while, and then come back after dinner. If there are fewer people, I can handle it in the store," Xiang Cha said. Thinking again, "Oh, it's time for you to rest today, and I asked you to help in area B. How did you find the way?"
"Nope." Xiang Cha knew the details of his Lu Chi, so Lu Chi had no choice but to tell the truth, "Calling a customer caused them to come downstairs to find me, and then came out with a rider from a food delivery platform... ..."
"You..." Xiang Cha didn't know what to say about him, "Should I call you stupid or praise you for being smart?"
When it came to this, Lu Chi was a little unconvinced: "I'm just a Lu idiot, I'm not stupid."
He is really not stupid, just because he doesn't know the way, others always label him as "not good at thinking". He is a talented student who graduated from the 985 college with a double degree, because he looks immature and doesn't know the way, Passers-by are looking at him with filters, but he must be aggrieved to death.
"That's right, it's my fault, is it my fault?" He has been working for a few months, and Xiang Cha also knows his temper, so he hastily admitted his mistake, and without stopping, he took out a card to plug his hand into it. Li, "My sister treats you to a cake, so I went out and crossed the road. There is a newly opened dessert shop at the intersection over there. You can buy it, and you can buy whatever you want. By the way, I will bring a red velvet box cake for my sister and I will be fine." ?”
When Lu Chi saw the bank card stuffed in his hand, he said, "I think you want to eat the cake from that store..."
"Then what," Xiang Cha smiled with a guilty conscience, "I'm not...I'm the only one who can't leave the store...their red velvet is a signature, you must buy it for me, woo woo Woooo..."
"That's right, I'll buy it for you." Lu Chi couldn't bear this kind of flirting, and waved the card in his hand, "Anyway, I don't spend money."
This road is not very long, the kind that can be seen at a glance.The road is not very wide, and the sycamore trees on both sides of the road as street trees can grow together in summer.Surrounded by art districts, the style of buildings and shops in this area has a bit of literary and petty bourgeoisie.
The newly opened dessert shop is very eye-catching. The color of the store is mainly dark red with relatively high saturation, and because it has not been opened for a long time, the newly renovated store looks much newer than the store next door.
Lu Chi saw it at a glance.
The name of the store is SweetIris, and the logo is a hand-painted simple iris flower. The style of the entire store fits well with this neighborhood.
Lu Chi took a rough look at the store entrance, but he didn't have any idea. What's the use of decorating the store in a flashy way? It's better to sell delicious food.
He pushed open the glass door and went in, just in time to bump into the people who were walking out.
"Feel sorry."
Lu Chi barely stood still, when he heard the other party say sorry first.
He wanted to wave his hand and say it's okay, but he took it and thought about it carefully. Where did he hear this voice?
Taking a closer look, Lu Chi still couldn't hold back, and let out a "Huh".
After a while, Xia Xingchuan also saw the person in front of him clearly.
Coincidentally, it's not someone else, isn't it Xiaolu Chi who delivered late takeaway in the afternoon?
"Huh," Lu Chi recalled the sea salt croissant in the afternoon, and smiled sweetly at Xia Xingchuan, "Mr. Xia is such a coincidence?"
"..." Xia Xingchuan didn't think it was a coincidence that one head was two big.
No. [-]: The fourth cup of milk tea
Xia Xingchuan suspected that he was being followed, but he couldn't directly ask if the person in front of him was following him, otherwise he would appear to be overly self-conscious and brainless.
He could only stare warily at this seemingly harmless little Lu Chi in front of him. If he remembered correctly, this person should be called You Yu, right?
"You..." he said hesitantly, "Why are you here?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted it. This is a store open to the public. Anyone who wants to buy something can come here, and what he wants to ask is—"How did you find this place?"
Lu Chi was stunned for a moment, apparently he didn't expect him to ask such a question, and said with doubts: "I'm here to buy cakes." Otherwise, why else?
Xia Xingchuan was dubious: "What do you want to buy?"
"I heard that the red velvet box cake here is good, it seems to be a sign? I want to buy that." After Lu Chi finished speaking, he felt that a big man would be too sissy to buy a red velvet cake, so he couldn't help but sneak a glance. Xia Xingchuan took a look and found that he didn't have any strange reaction, so he was relieved.
After all, when he was spraying sunscreen in the afternoon, the way that brother He Lai looked at him changed.
Xia Xingchuan nodded. Only then did he believe that this person really came here to buy cakes. He couldn't help pointing out: "The red velvet is indeed a sign, but this is not the most delicious one."
"I'm here for the first time, is there any hidden delicious food?"
"Here," Xia Xingchuan led him to the refrigerator, and ordered something inside through the glass, "this."
"Cinderella Cheese," Lu Chi looked at the label and read out the name, then smiled, "Isn't this just an ordinary cheesecake?"
Not only does it look no different from ordinary cheesecakes, but the price is also the cheapest among all kinds of cakes that are all around, which is the ultimate in simplicity.From this point of view, it really deserves the name.
"It does look very ordinary. You can try it. If it doesn't taste good, I'll treat it to you."
"Okay," Lu Chi's eyes rolled, he is not a person who likes to take advantage, but he just thinks how delicious a cheesecake can be, and he is curious about Xia Xingchuan's so hard-working Amway behavior, "How do you know this is good?" food?"
Xiang Cha told him that this store has only been open for two days, how can this Mr. Xia know so well what is delicious and what is not delicious in this store?
The corner of Xia Xingchuan's mouth twitched: "Because I opened this store."
"Hey..." Lu Chi was also a little guessing in his heart, but now he was a little surprised to hear him say it himself, "Your company is not the one this afternoon..."
"That's the formula research and development center." Xia Xingchuan said, pointing to the ground, "This is the store."
"So..." It was the first time Lu Chi heard that there was such a business model. He digested the information for a while, and soon thought of something, and the light in his eyes lit up quickly, "Does that mean that today's The sea croissant that the sister at the front desk gave me is also here? Give me a dozen!"
As he said that, he slapped the card that Xiang Cha gave him on the cash register very boldly, which shocked the cashier lady.
Although SI's store is a dessert shop, its main products are baked goods. The whole store has a baked aroma mixed with milk, just like the company he sent milk tea to.
Lu Chi was still thinking about it while eating in the afternoon. After eating this, he wondered when he would be able to eat this sea salt croissant again. Hehe, I didn't expect it to come without effort!
"Hush——" Xia Xingchuan pulled him over, raised his index finger and put it on his mouth, "Slow down, the food I'm giving you today is a new product that hasn't been released yet, you can eat it as soon as you eat it, can you keep a low profile .”
"Hey, it's not on the market yet?" Lu Chi blinked, then smiled again, "Then I didn't get it first, hehe."
"..." Xia Xingchuan sighed looking at his excited little appearance, he really couldn't bear to tell him that the bread recipe he liked so much was wrong and had to be adjusted again.
But it's not a bad thing, Xia Xingchuan looked at Lu Chi, and let Xiao Lu Chi know that the product he likes is a new product, and he is not afraid that he will not come to support it when it is launched.
It's nice to have one more potential customer.
In the end, Lu Chi picked out several different types of cakes and breads and bought them to take away. Except for the red velvet that Cha Er asked to buy, Lu Chi bought the others out of his own pocket.
After Xiang Cha took them back, Lu Chi took the cake he bought and headed home.
His family didn't live far away, just a few bus stops away, but now it was approaching the rush hour, and he was afraid of traffic jams and his cake being squeezed by the bus, so he chose to walk home slowly.
I didn't expect to be kicked out by his mother just after returning home before my butt was hot.
"Your friends called in the afternoon to ask you to go out for dinner at night, and I agreed to come down, and I didn't cook your meal at home, so go quickly..."
"What's going on?" Before Lu Chi's cake was put in the refrigerator, he was rushed by his mother to change clothes, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, "You don't even ask me when someone invites me to dinner." Ask for my opinion?"
The ones who can find his mother here are nothing more than his group of youngsters who have been playing since they were young, that is, a group of rich second generations. The so-and-so in the past took up management in their own company, and the prince was just airborne. He insisted on having a celebration Banquet, as if he sat on it by his own ability.
This group of people had approached him before, but he politely rejected them, and now they have gone to his mother's place again to save the country.His mother is also a face-saving person, and she didn't want to let this group of juniors look down upon her, so she agreed to everything.
"People say that all the seats are reserved, everyone is here, I can still refuse and say oh no, our family Luchi has been very busy at work recently, and we don't get off work until late. If someone asks me what you are doing so busy recently, I want to tell people that you are going to deliver food." Mom buttoned his buttons, feeling aggrieved, "Are you willing to introduce my son to others like this?"
"Mom..." Lu Chi sighed, "Don't you just don't want me to continue delivering food? Do you need to make such a big turn to persuade me?"
"What do you mean I don't want to? It's because you're not suitable for this job." Mom confidently opened her fingers and told Lu Chi one by one. "Look at you, you're a road idiot. If you can’t deliver well, you can still deliver takeaways? They get off work in the evening and you still have to deliver milk tea to others in the middle of the night? Our family conditions are so good, you just stay in your father’s courier company as a management team, right? Take it easy? Tell your mother what's wrong. "
"I'm in the management team, so I have to be convinced by someone," Lu Chi said, "You don't know why I left my father's company, do you? The whole company thinks I'm an idiot, and I'm ashamed to stay there now?"
"Then you studied management for several years in college just to deliver food?"
"What's wrong with the food delivery? Don't I do it now? I basically delivered it all over in Area A. I don't know the way, but don't you remember it if you make a few more trips?" Lu Chi put on his clothes, I sprayed some styling gel on my head and scratched it, "I think I'm doing a good job now, and there's nothing shameful about it." After scratching, I looked in the mirror and felt quite satisfied, and I didn't want to listen to his mother anymore. He picked up his coat and went out, "Okay, I'm leaving. I bought a few cakes in the refrigerator today. Take them out and try them when you have time."
"Hey, what time did you come back at night?"
"I don't know, don't wait for me," Lu Chi took a few steps outside, then turned back and told her, "Eat the cakes in the refrigerator quickly, especially the Cinderella cheesecake, try it, if it's not good, I'll see you tomorrow claim."
No. [-]: The fifth cup of milk tea
When Lu arrived at the restaurant late, everyone at the table was full.
He stood at the door of the private room, glanced roughly, and saw Han Jianqing sitting next to the only vacant seat. Han Jianqing happened to see him too, so he raised his hand to beckon him over.
"Lu Chi, this way."
His voice was neither high nor low, and the chattering people around him all stopped and looked towards Lu Chi in unison.
Lu Chi's heart shuddered, and he couldn't help frowning.He walked towards Han Jianqing without stopping.
In other words, the people at this table grew up together from childhood to adulthood, and there are people from all kinds of industries in the family.But Han Jianqing is Lu Chi's real childhood. Both parents are in the express delivery business. In the early years, the two partnered to start a business. Later, Han Jianqing's father went to do the cold chain business, so they separated. However, the relationship between the two Always good.
Among this group of people, Lu Chi was the only one who could talk to Han Jianqing.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to his seat, before he could take his seat, Jiang Qi, who was sitting in the main seat, stood up, holding a wine glass in his hand, and said in a very sophisticated manner: "Oh, the road is late, but let us wait a long time, You have to have two drinks first."
Lu Chi looked at the table, there were already three glasses of white wine in front of him, apparently ready to be poured before he came.
Knowing that they were all waiting to see his jokes, he smirked, he was too lazy to talk nonsense, and drank all three glasses of wine without saying a word.
The room was immediately filled with the sound of booing from a group of people watching the excitement.
"What are you in such a rush to drink?" After taking his seat, Han Jianqing poured him a glass of orange juice, "Don't bother with them."
"They're just waiting to see my jokes," Lu Chi grabbed a piece of steamed fish for himself as soon as he sat down, and said while eating, "I don't know where I found out that I stopped working in my company and went to deliver food. At this moment, I have parachuted into the family business again, and I am planning to humiliate me."
The reason why they organized this dinner was to celebrate Jiang Qi's airborne management position in his own company Jiang Neng Electronics, but this kind of thing doesn't show any sense of superiority among the rich second generations, so they did everything possible to call Shanglu Chi Come.
"Hey, Lu Chi, I haven't seen you for a while, do you feel a little tanned?" No, before it calmed down for a while, someone cue him again, "Did you go on vacation?"
"How can I... What kind of vacation are you taking?" Lu Chi was not angry, and smiled, "I'm working."
He began to mutter in his heart, the sunscreen spray his mother gave him, he sprayed it every day, why didn't it work at all?
"Aren't you working in your father's company?" A playwright friend pretended to be surprised, "Then where are you now?"
They all asked knowingly. If the group of people didn't know where he worked, they wouldn't have found him.
"Food industry," Lu Chi's lips curled up slightly, he raised his eyes and looked straight at the person who asked this question, and said neither humble nor overbearing, "I deliver milk tea."
"Send milk tea..." The man didn't expect him to say it so generously, and he was trying to taunt him, but now he couldn't say anything.
"Yes, delivering milk tea is exactly what you think. I'm going to deliver food," Lu Chi said, picking up food on his own, without caring. It makes no difference."
"Pfft," someone couldn't help laughing during the dinner, "delivering food? Just you..."
These people have known each other since they were young, so they naturally know that Lu Chi has a poor sense of direction, and he has never collapsed since he was a child.
However, being questioned in such a tone in front of so many people, Lu Chi's face was still a bit ugly.
"You..." Han Jianqing couldn't listen anymore, and wanted to say something to stop him, but was interrupted by Lu Chi's next words.
"It's just me, what's the matter?" Lu Chi was always smiling, but his eyes were a little cold, which didn't really match his baby face, and somehow gave people a sense of seriousness that violated, "I've worked so many times. I haven’t been fired for a month, does it explain the problem? At least I rely on my own hard work, instead of being able to sit in the executive position with a diploma and a parent.”
As soon as he said this, the faces of several people at the table changed.
No matter how stupid Jiang Qi was, he could hear that Lu Chi was talking about him, and his face was even more ugly, but at this time, of course, he still wanted to find the place, so he twitched the corners of his mouth: "Which milk tea shop are you delivering food to, Lu Chi? , when will the brothers also take care of your business?"
"That's great," Lu Chi said, "I also sent a big order of more than 30 cups this afternoon. Everyone here is now a successful person. If you want to patronize my birthday, you can't compare to this order."
Now that we have reached this point, another person next to him asked, "Which milk tea shop did you deliver?"
"Le Cha."
"Le Cha?" A girl snorted, "I just saw Le Cha's Amway was on the trending search today," she said, taking out her phone to look for that Weibo, flipping through it and thinking about it , "It is said that Le Cha has a takeaway brother who is a very small milk dog... Wait..." She seemed to have thought of something, and looked up at Lu Chi, "Should...shouldn't..."
"...Huh?" Lu Chi was concentrating on breaking off a crab leg just now, and now he was stunned by the little girl, thought about what she just said, understood, and smiled brightly at the girl, "You I read the Weibo post mentioned, and the takeaway boy mentioned above should be me."
"Hey—it's true!" The girl suddenly held her face in disbelief and said, "You are an Internet celebrity now!"
"No, no..." Lu Chi waved his hand, "That's not the case."
"The area you delivered is in Area A, right?" The little girl blushed, "I really know how to order takeaway! Call you!"
"Okay, thank you."
Now Lu Chi is finally not as sharp as before. If he had known that coming here to eat would not only hurt him, but also bring him success, he would have come here long ago.
Han Jianqing touched him with his elbow.Lu Chi turned his head: "Why?"
"Yes, you." Han Jianqing winked at him, leaned over and whispered to him, "He is clearly interested in you."
"I didn't mean that..." Lu Chi waved his hand, "I just have a pure cooperative relationship with her. You know, I don't like girls..."
"I know they don't know," Han Jianqing shook his head, "Then you still accept his kindness?"
"She didn't confess her love, why did she refuse?" Lu Chi glanced at him, "What are you paying attention to? Do you want to cut off your buddy's money?"
"Fuck you," Han Jianqing spat at him and stood up, "I'm going to the bathroom."
When he said this, Lu Chi felt a little anxious to urinate, and quickly put down the crab claws in his hand, wiped his hands and stood up, "Wait a minute, I'll go too."
Lu Chi and Han Jianqing's purpose of going to the bathroom is different. Lu Chi is to solve his physical needs, while Han Jianqing, an old smoker, just came to smoke a cigarette because of his addiction.
So Lu Chi went straight out without waiting for him after draining the water.
This store is a high-end restaurant chain with a good environment, and even the bathroom is decorated in style.
But the bad thing is that the store has done a lot of privacy for the privacy of customers. Relatively speaking, the lights are not so bright, and the store is mostly private rooms, and the aisles are deep and long. Back and forth, it was really unfriendly to Lu Chi.
Lu Chi drank some wine, and now he didn't feel that he was going the wrong way. He walked to the door of a private room based on his feeling, and he pushed the door open and walked in very confidently.
The private room was very quiet, completely opposite to the atmosphere at the beginning.
Lu Chi was only in a daze for a moment before realizing that he had gone to the wrong room.
This private room was exactly the same as his previous one, but there were only two people sitting in it.
He knew one of them, and this time, he had met three times today.
"Mr. Xia..." Lu Chi looked at half of the man's face that had darkened in an instant, and was so awake that he couldn't wake up anymore, and even felt cold sweat coming down his back.
Sitting opposite Xia Xingchuan was a girl who looked like a famous lady. The girl turned to look at Lu Chi, then turned to look at Xia Xingchuan, and asked tentatively, "Is...someone you know?"
"No," Xia Xingchuan said with a dark face, "it's a stalker."
Lu Chi:? ? ? ? ? ?

No.: The sixth cup of milk tea
No matter how dull Lu Chi was, he knew that he had entered the blind date scene indiscriminately.
One of the parties participating in the blind date is also his client, the unpredictable Mr. Xia.Mr. Xia's dress is much more formal than during the day, presumably because he attaches great importance to this blind date, and now he barged in so abruptly...
Lu Chi didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Xia Xingchuan also had a headache. After going to the new store in the afternoon, he was planning to go back to the company again. Unexpectedly, his mother, Ms. Jiao, called temporarily to say that she was shopping outside, but no one picked him up, so he asked him to drive her to dinner.
His mother said that he couldn't say no to it, so he drove the car, anyway, he was used to being a driver for his family.
I didn't expect that it was fake to send her to dinner, but it was true that he came on a blind date as a routine.What his mother bought was formal clothes for Xia Xingchuan for blind date occasions.
Careless.
Xia Xingchuan should have thought of it from the moment he received the fuck at the door of a high-end men's clothing brand store.He, who never buys gifts for his father, must be tricky to appear on this occasion.
However, Meng Shu, the blind date, also looked like she was tricked by her parents. The two were still facing each other in this private room, smiling awkwardly and politely at each other.Fortunately, this restaurant is opened by Xia Xingchuan and his family. He is quite familiar with the special dishes here, so he dutifully introduced them to Meng Shu so that the two of them would not be seated.
Although Lu Chi's appearance was very sudden, it still broke the strange atmosphere in the room. On this point, Xia Xingchuan breathed a sigh of relief.
But the person who broke in, if it was anyone else, Xia Xingchuan would be grateful.But it happened to be the little brother Lu Chi who had met three times even though it was the first time today, which made Xia Xingchuan feel a little strange in his heart.
When Meng Shu saw Lu Chi come in and asked him the question, he wasn't speaking in anger.
He really felt something was wrong.
Is it possible to meet the same person by chance three times in one day?
What's more, it doesn't even count as acquaintance, it's just that this person has delivered a takeaway to himself.If he can still convince himself that it was a coincidence when he met in the new store in the afternoon, what about the situation now?
Meng Shu saw that he was not hesitant, so she pursed her lips, thinking that she was embarrassing him because of her meddling.
No matter who Xia Xingchuan said, "it's a stalker", it sounds like he's being angry when he hears it.
She turned her head to look at Lu Chi again, seeing that he was still standing there, she guessed that maybe he really wanted to talk to Xia Xingchuan about something.Anyway, she didn't enjoy the meal herself, so she took the napkin and wiped her mouth: "I'm done eating, Mr. Xia, let's stop here today."
"Sorry, Miss Meng," Xia Xingchuan thought of her now, raised his hand and wiped his face, saw that Meng Shu had already stood up with her bag, and hurriedly got up, "I'll see you off."
"It's okay," Meng Shu raised her hand, "My driver will pick me up."
"Then I'll take you to the elevator." Xia Xingchuan picked up his suit jacket from the back of the chair and hung it on his arm, and followed him out. His gentlemanly manner did not give her any reason to continue to refuse.
Meng Shu didn't say anything about this, she went out of the private room first and waited for him outside.
Lu Chi saw that they were going to come out, and he couldn't block the door, so he dodged to the side, and was about to find an excuse to retreat, so he opened his mouth: "I..."
"Wait here for a while," he said before he was interrupted by Xia Xingchuan who came to him.
Xia Xingchuan smelled some alcohol on him, frowned, but didn't say anything else, just said: "I have something to ask you."
It wasn't "I have something to say", it was "I have something to ask", Lu Chi stopped talking embarrassingly, his cheeks puffed up with grievance.
Meng Shu watched from the side. Compared with the expressionless Xia Xingchuan, this little brother who broke in suddenly had a much richer expression, and he was so good-looking that she couldn't help but stare at him.
Xia Xingchuan came out, and Meng Shu couldn't keep looking at Lu Chi anymore, so she had to go out with him.
The location of this private room is quite inside, Lu Chi was worried that he would not recognize the way when he came out later, so he followed them a few steps behind, watching Xia Xingchuan go to the front desk and order something before leaving with the beauty , He took out his cell phone to send Han Jianqing a message.
He and Mr. Xia are no longer the relationship between the customer and the delivery man, so he doesn't have to listen to him and wait there obediently.If it wasn't for looking at the girl next to him just now, Mr. Xia would not be able to get off the stage. After all, this is a blind date.He still understands why it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy one marriage.
Lu Chi: Han Jianqing!help me!
Han Jianqing:? ? ? ?
Han Jianqing: Are you still in the toilet?Is there no paper?
Lu Chi: Bah, bah, I came out early, I went to the wrong private room.
Han Jianqing: ...
Han Jianqing: I went back to the private room to see that you hadn't come back. I thought you fell into the toilet pit.
Lu Chi: ...
Lu Chi: Are you still eating, isn't it disgusting to say such things while eating?
Han Jianqing: Convex
Han Jianqing: Do you still want me to save you?
Lu Chi: Dad, I was wrong, Dad, help me.
Han Jianqing: Kouheng, report the coordinates and wait for Dad to rescue you.
Lu Chi described his current position to Han Jianqing, and then waited quietly for him to rescue him.
He put away his mobile phone, caught a glimpse of a waiter coming from the corner of his eye, and subconsciously moved two steps to the side to make way for the waiter.Unexpectedly, the target of the other party was him, and walked up to him and called him: "This gentleman."
"Ah?" Lu Chi looked up at him, saw that the waiter was holding a glass in his hand, and pointed at himself in doubt, "For, for me?"
"Yes," the waiter handed the cup to him, "This is the honey water that Mr. Xia ordered to prepare for you."
"Ah...thank you." Lu Chi took the water hesitantly and thanked the younger brother.
Lu Chi waited for the waiter to leave before taking a sip of the glass of water. He did see Xia Xingchuan ordering something at the front desk before leaving, but he didn't expect to prepare honey water for himself.
Just thinking about this, Lu Chi accidentally raised his eyes and saw Xia Xingchuan coming in from the outside, and he straightened his back involuntarily.
"Mr. Xia..."
"Tell me," Xia Xingchuan walked up to him and asked straight to the point, "Why did you come here and what is your purpose?"
"Ah...?" Lu Chi was stunned, he didn't expect him to ask his teacher for a crime as soon as he came back, "I came here to eat..."
Xia Xingchuan frowned, but he didn't believe his words at all. Instead, he felt that there was no truth in his mouth: "You, a college student who works part-time by delivering food, can you afford to eat here?"
"Ah..." Xia Xingchuan spoke bluntly, and it was only after hearing this that Lu Chi realized what the crux of the matter was.
When delivering food in the afternoon, Xia Xingchuan mistook himself for a part-time college student delivering food. Because he thought he would no longer deliver milk tea in area B, he didn't bother to correct this misunderstanding, and let Mr. Xia misunderstand.
Thinking of this, Lu Chi still couldn't help but sigh. Not only did he not expect to meet him in that newly opened dessert shop after delivering the milk tea, but he also didn't expect to meet him here again. This city is too small Bar.
Lu Chi complained in his heart, thinking that it would be better to clear up the misunderstanding, and just opened his mouth to explain: "Actually... I... Oops."
Someone knocked on the head from behind, Lu Chi covered his head and turned around grinning, and saw Han Jianqing standing behind him with folded arms, and raised his chin at him when he saw him turn around: "Son, dad, come here!" I'll pick you up."
"You came here when you came," Lu Chi raised two beautiful eyebrows, and said angrily, "Can you stop hitting me on the head? What should I do if I'm stupid?"
Xia Xingchuan looked at this man who appeared suddenly. He was well dressed, had a good temperament, and was young, so he looked like he should be a son of a rich family. Why did he look very familiar with that college student.
For some reason, Xia Xingchuan's expression became a little subtle.
Han Jianqing naturally noticed the person next to Lu Chi. He saw the two of them talking just now, but he didn't know this person.
"Who is this……?"
"Oh, he is..." Lu Chi was about to speak, but Xia Xingchuan preempted him again.
"I am the owner of this store, and my surname is Xia." Xia Xingchuan stood upright, with a calm face, "I came here today to inspect the work, and I happened to see this gentleman waiting for someone here, so I chatted with him Two sentences."
Lu Chi let out a "huh" and glanced at Xia Xingchuan—he really dared to say it. Although Lu Chi knew that he had opened a dessert company, the words "I am the owner of this store" could not be heard. Is it good to say everywhere...
Xia Xingchuan could roughly guess what he was thinking just by looking at him, but he was confident because what he said was not a lie.
The owner of this store is not him, but his father.
Looking at his confident expression, Lu Chi couldn't figure out why he said that, and he didn't dare to act rashly, so he just shut up and didn't speak.
"Hello." Han Jianqing was a little concerned about Lu Chi's hesitant "Huh", but he still nodded politely to Xia Xingchuan, and then turned to Lu Chi, "Let's go back to eat, you won't find it next time." Just call me? I almost thought you fell into a latrine today and asked me to come out to get you..."
Xia Xingchuan: "..."
Lu Chi: "..."
He almost touched his forehead—what's the matter with this man, the boss is still in front of him, can he have some qualities.
Back in the private room, everyone at the table was overwhelmed, sitting there drinking and chatting, but there was still a lot of food left, Lu Chi ignored everyone, sat down and concentrated on eating.
Han Jianqing didn't talk to him either. He was a little concerned about the person in the hall just now, so he took out his phone to check the information.
Lu Chi was also really hungry. After loosening a big order in the afternoon, he was kicked out by his mother without eating anything. As a result, he drank a lot without eating a few sips. He snatched it up, domineering on the table, and was in the middle of eating when he suddenly heard Han Jianqing who was next to him say "Huh".
"Huh?" He turned his head to look at Han Jianqing with a small green vegetable in his mouth, and asked casually, "What's wrong."
"That person just now...is really the owner of this store." Han Jianqing stared at the phone and said.
"You really checked it..." Lu Chi shook his head, "I thought he only opened a dessert company."
He said this nonchalantly, but Han Jianqing was taken aback: "You knew him before?"
"Didn't I say that I'm going to deliver milk tea this afternoon?" Lu Chi had almost eaten, took a tissue to wipe the oil from his mouth, "I just went to deliver it to their company."
"Then how did he act like a businessman when you just met?"
"How would I know?" Not to mention Han Jianqing, he has been thinking about it all the time. This Mr. Xia always has a cold face and looks very indifferent, but he talks about things and things. , Lu Chi couldn't figure it out, so he poked his head with his index finger and said seriously, "I'm afraid it's Watt here."
No. [-]: The seventh cup of milk tea
When Lu Chi went to work again, the store was extremely busy.
Summer is approaching, and the demand for cold drinks among urbanites is only increasing. Coupled with the recommendation of the previous gourmet celebrity V, it is only natural that the business in their store is booming.
However, the popularity of online tap water promotion will definitely start to fade after a certain period of time, which makes Xiangcha a little bit burnt out.
People who do business are like this. They are afraid that there will be no business, and they are also afraid that the business will be too good, and they will also be afraid that the success of the business will be weak after the business is good.At this stage, the manpower is a bit tight, but I dare not recruit new people easily, for fear that if the sales volume drops in the future, the operating cost will still be higher than before.
Although Lecha is the ace milk tea that dominates Haishi, it is also a relatively new milk tea brand that has only been around for four or five years. It focuses on mellow taste, affordable prices and creative new products launched from time to time.
Therefore, the top priority is to actively develop the new products that will be launched this summer to stabilize word-of-mouth, and not let this wave of enthusiasm be lost naturally.
Lu Chi likes to sleep late, so his working hours are usually from afternoon to night, and he goes to the store after lunch, which happens to be the time when the order for milk tea delivery is hidden.
He put his things inside, put on a work uniform and a vest, and came out to deliver milk tea, but Xiang Cha saw him and stopped him.
"Xiaolu, come here." He beckoned to Cha Cha and asked him to go over and try a few new samples, to see if there were any new products that could be put into the market.
When Lu applied for the job belatedly, Xiang Cha had seen his resume. He majored in business management in college and his second degree was in food.Based on Xiang Cha's understanding of him during this period, he found that he also loves food and has a lot of research on food. She wanted to hear his opinion.
"Oh." Lu Chi responded and walked over.
Four small paper cups were placed in front of the tea, each cup was filled with milk tea, and each cup was labeled.
"Is this a new product planned?"
"Well, try it," Xiang Cha pushed these cups towards Lu Chi, "see if there is anything you like."
"It's hard to say," Lu Chi raised his eyes to look at her, Xiang Cha was obviously in a dilemma, which meant that these samples all tasted the same, "If you can't choose any of them, it probably doesn't have any special characteristics."
"You try it before you talk?"
Lu Chi didn't say anything more, and tried several new flavors side by side.
"Hmm..." He closed his eyes and smacked, frowning slightly.
"How about it?"
"It's hard to say..." Lu Chi pursed his lips, "After I tasted it, it's not that these few taste bad, but I don't think these are suitable for launching as new summer products."
"How to say?" Xiang Cha put on a look of willingness to hear more about it.
"The taste is too strong," Lu Chi said, "It will feel a little greasy after drinking it. In summer, customers' demands for drinks are mainly refreshing and thirst-quenching. Although these drinks are very rich in taste, for example, your cup, this cup is mine. I think these four can be saved. I think it’s delicious to add sea salt to the milk cover, and the sugar content can be lowered. But it’s too greasy to use milk tea as the base under the milk cover. It should be much better to replace it with pure tea as the base , so that the bitterness of the strong tea will neutralize part of the thickness of the milk cap. I’m just giving an example, because the amount of sugar, temperature, and capacity specifications will all have an impact on the final taste presented to customers.”
"Hmm..." Xiang Cha rubbed his chin thoughtfully.If she had a beard, she would have started smoothing it by now.
"So Sister Chacha, if you are thinking about new products, you can think about the taste."
"That means I can't do these prescriptions now, right?" Xiang Cha bent forward in frustration, a little bit broken.
"I think the sea salt milk cap can be kept and optimized," Lu Chi suggested pertinently.
He originally planned to go out quickly to deliver food, but he couldn't bear to see Xiang Cha like this, so he couldn't help but sit in front of her and said a few more words: "Sister Chacha, think about it now, what is the purpose of making new products? It is to increase sales Ah, then this new product must have the ability to bring sales, right, so we must know the needs of customers when the new product is launched, and it is correct to formulate the development direction of the new product based on this.”
"But it's too late..." Xiang Cha wailed, "Finally, a big V sold our Amway, if we don't launch new products soon, this wave of enthusiasm will pass..."
Lu Chi blinked: "This kind of promotion, you don't need to wait for others to recommend you, you can go to KOL to discuss cooperation promotion."
Xiang Cha flat-mouthed: "That's so expensive!"
Lu Chi: "..."
This kind of problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, okay? !It's not like you can't come up with money!
Sure enough, capitalists are iron cocks.
"That's why you have to come up with new products that are worth promoting," Lu Chi said earnestly, "Otherwise, you can cultivate a domestic KOL to promote our milk tea or something... What do you think I am doing? "
"Because you provided a new idea," Xiang Cha said with a radiant face and bright eyes, "Isn't there a domestic KOL in front of me?"
"Wha... huh?" Lu Chi came to his senses, and pointed to his nose, "Are you talking about me?"
"Then why not!" Xiang Cha grinned, "Didn't you be cueed in the Weibo that tweeted about our store? That means your good looks are obvious to all."
"So, so what?" Lu Chi felt wronged as a handsome guy, "Can you blame me for being good-looking?"
Xiang Cha grinned: "If you look good, you have to make use of it."
Lu Chi still wants to make a final resistance: "It also costs money to raise a KOL at home..."
Isn't she too expensive?Moreover, the cost of raising a KOL from 0 fans may be much higher than finding a mature Internet celebrity blogger, but from the perspective of sustainable development, there is no problem. The problem is that Lu Chi does not want to be a KOL.
Xiang Cha: "I'll give you double salary."
Lu Chi: "...Come on."
In the end, the problem was solved with money.
Lu Chi went to the front desk to fill up milk tea, and rode a small battery to work.Recently, he has become very familiar with Area A, and the delivery speed has been much faster. Several repeat customers who ordered their milk tea also gave good reviews. After all, Lu Chi is a delivery guy who has no shortcomings except Lu Chi.
He sent it all the way, and then thought of the promise he had made with Xiang Cha. He never expected that his 0-follower Weibo account would be rediscovered because of this opportunity.
It can only be said to be a trick of good fortune.
After running outside for an afternoon, time passed quickly. In the evening, I finished work and went back to cycle. I passed a dessert shop on the way. Lu Chi caught a glimpse of the familiar crimson from the corner of my eye, and stopped involuntarily.
It's SI, this one is not the one over there, it should be one of the branches.
Lu Chi was still thinking about the sea salt croissant he ate that day. The last time he went to say that it was a new product that hadn't been released yet, he planned to try his luck today.
He left the small battery on the side of the road and opened the door to go in.
After wandering around the store, he didn't see which one he had eaten before, so he had no choice but to stop a waiter and ask, "Do you have sea salt croissants here?"
The waiter shook his head: "No sir, our signature red velvet box cake is very good, do you want to try it? Buy any two box cakes and get a 5 yuan discount..."
Lu Chi sighed when he heard it: "Didn't you say that the new product will be released soon? Why hasn't it been released yet..."
This sea salt croissant is almost becoming his obsession.
The waiters were stunned when they heard it. They didn't know what the so-called new products would be in the store. They only knew every time they went online and arrived. How did this person in front of him know?Where is he holy?
But the matter has come to this point, she can only say very sorry: "This is determined by the company, and we don't know the details."
A group of people in the company are also struggling right now.A group of people gathered around a table, and everyone was silent. Whether they can get off work on time today depends on the boss's reaction.
Everyone around was standing, only Xia Xingchuan was sitting. There was a row of milk tea in front of him. He tried one cup after another, but none of them satisfied him.
"This recipe is wrong. Didn't I order so much milk tea for you that day? See how other people's milk tea is made, and what do you make?" After drinking the last cup, he smacked for half a second, unable to bear it. He raised his hand and threw the paper cup out.
His temper was so sudden that everyone was unprepared and trembled in fright.
It was only now that Xia Xingchuan realized his gaffe just now, he couldn't help but raised his hand to wipe his face, and sighed: "Think about it again, we're here today."
After saying this, he returned to his office.The people around before didn't dare to act rashly for a while, and Xia Xingchuan's assistant sent everyone back to pack their things after seeing that it was almost done.
Xia Xingchuan returned to the office, sat down on the boss chair, leaned back, slumped on it in a very relaxed posture, closed his eyes and meditated, and began to deeply doubt whether it was the right choice for him to let them develop drinks.
He opened a dessert company, and he managed it fairly well. At least in the eyes of his parents, he wouldn't say that he was messing around outside.He spent all his time opening this dessert company based on his love for desserts.
Their main business is baked desserts. This time he wanted to try to develop some drinks, so he invited the team to drink a lot of milk tea that he thought was delicious, and learned from those shops that specialize in milk tea.
It's just that it's the first time to develop a drink after all, and the taste is really difficult to mix.Xia Xingchuan knew for a long time that he would run into a wall here, and now that he encountered a bottleneck and could not overcome these problems, he couldn't help thinking whether this decision was wrong from the beginning.
There was a knock on the office door, Xia Xingchuan opened his eyes: "Come in."
"Boss," his assistant, Qu Yan, pushed the door in. "They are going to work overtime and are ordering takeaway now. Do you want to come together?"
"No need," Xia Xingchuan thought of his mother saying that he would wait for him to go home for dinner today, so he stood up, "You guys order, and tell me when you order, I will treat this meal."
Lu Chi returned home, there was still a while before dinner.
I just went to SI's store before going home, and I couldn't help itching. Thinking of buying cakes two days ago, I opened the refrigerator happily, but found that there was no cake left for me. Shouting in the kitchen: "Mom - I've finished eating all my cakes! Why didn't I leave a single bite!"
Mom came out wearing an apron: "This afternoon, some of your aunts came over to rub mozzarella with mom, and I took them out to entertain them. They said it was delicious. Where did you buy it? I'll bring some back next time."
"When can you treat your partners to the milk tea in our shop?"
"Oh, what kind of milk tea do you guys have? Middle-aged and elderly people like us can't drink it," Lu's mother said, "Go and let Jianqing and the others go to Moments to advertise for you, okay?"
"Cut," Lu Chi pursed his lips, "That cake shop, next time there will be a new product, I'll bring it back for you. There is a sea salt croissant, it's delicious... ah."
He suddenly remembered something.
SI's new sea salt croissant, and Lecha's new sea salt cheese milk tea.
The two... as long as there is a connection...
Thinking of this, he quickly took out his mobile phone and called Han Jianqing: "Do you remember the restaurant owner you met that day?"
"Which one are you talking about?"
"On the day when Jiang Qi invited guests..." Lu Chi explained the situation, "Didn't you check his information that day? What is his background?"
The author has something to say: KOL: key opinion leader.A person who has the right to speak in a certain field.
Now it can be commonly understood as big V, Internet celebrity or something.

No. [-] Cup of Milk Tea
"What did you ask him for?" Han Jianqing did remember, but he was puzzled that Yu Luchi came to ask him about this on purpose, and turned on the computer at hand while asking back.
Lu Chi chuckled: "I knew that you, a data maniac, would usually collect all the information you investigate, so I came to ask you."
This Han Jianqing can be regarded as a mobile database. He loves to collect information. Generally speaking, anything he is interested in investigating will be stored in his brain... or in his computer.
Lu Chi sometimes thinks that it is a waste of talent for him to come back to inherit the family business, and he should really start his own investigation company.
"The 'everything' we ate that day was a high-end restaurant chain store. He said he was the owner of that store, so I searched from this point of entry," Han Jianqing looked at the information collected on the computer, slowly Slowly introduced to Lu Chi, "'Everything' belongs to Hangdi Catering Group, and there are various catering chains under the group. The chairman of the group is indeed named Xia, but it's not the one I met in the restaurant that day. The chairman is a A middle-aged man in his 50s. The above information is all information that anyone can easily look up on Baidu."
"Eh...?" Lu Chi recalled, "You mean... that Mr. Xia really lied to us that day?"
"If you were the one who looked up the information, you would have come to such a conclusion." Han Jianqing sneered and mocked him lightly.
"Hello!" Lu Chi was dissatisfied, "Please enter the topic."
"So I checked the information of the chairman of the group again, and this time it was rewarding." Han Jianqing chuckled and continued, "The chairman of the group does have a son, no photo, but the age is the same as We saw the same person that day, this person is not in the group, and we don’t know what industry he is in.”
"So you don't think it's possible that Mr. Xia is indeed the prince," Lu Chi thought, feeling that the possibility is still very high, "I do know that he opened a dessert company, which has indeed something to do with catering. Maybe it's really the young owner of some group."
"You provided a new idea." Han Jianqing was not very interested in this person at first, so he simply checked some information and gave up, but now Lu Chi was interested, "What is the name of his company?"
"I don't remember the name of the company," Lu Chi said, "but I know their dessert shop. The name is quite special. I went there today. It's called SweetIris."
"I seem to have a little impression of the name you mentioned..." Han Jianqing frowned, and said while typing in the search box, "A few days ago, a female colleague in our office celebrated her birthday, and the logistics side booked this place for her The birthday cake is delicious."
"Hey," Lu Chi was stunned, "You've eaten..."
He also thought of the cake that his mother and those aunts ate every bite of the cake before he had time to eat it, and he couldn't help feeling angry from his heart, and the evil turned to his guts... and so on.
He has eaten it himself, sea salt bread, which is still a new product that hasn't been released yet, and he immediately regained his balance when he thought about it.
When Han Jianqing heard Lu Chi's sad laughter suddenly came from the other end of the phone, he knew that Lu Chi was imagining something else.
But soon the search results came out, Han Jianqing took a look, and leaned back in the chair relaxedly: "Sure enough..."
"What, what?" Lu Chi immediately perked up when he heard him say that, "Did you find out?"
"SweetIris belongs to Daigo Catering Co., Ltd. The legal person of this company is the Mr. Xia we met. Here are the photos."
"Then is there any connection between this company and the previous group?"
"...It's hard to tell." Han Jianqing said, "There is no connection between the two companies' information, only the age matches."
Lu Chi pursed his lips: "Okay... probably this is the only way to find out. Thank you."
"You thank me before you tell me what you want to do." Han Jianqing rolled his eyes, but Lu Chi couldn't see it anyway, "Why did you come to me and ask these things?"
"I had a bold idea before," Lu Chi pondered for a moment, and decided to tell Han Jianqing about it, who said that Han Jianqing is his best buddy, "Am I thinking about it?" Find him to cooperate..."
"Cooperation?" Han Jianqing was stunned for a moment before he realized, "You mean your milk tea shop cooperates with them?"
"Yeah, our new products have some similarities with their new products. I'm thinking about cooperating with them? What's the reputation of their dessert shop?"
"It's not bad. The new brand that was only opened in the past two years is still doing well."
The more Lu Chi listened, the more active his mind became: "Then
Friends who clicked in, if you think it’s OK, you can click to save~Thank you
It would be better if there are comments, bow down!
No. [-]: The second cup of milk tea
Lu Chi scratched his head. There was no picture of him in this Weibo, nor was his name mentioned. Why did Xiang Cha think it must be about him?
Is it because of the "slow delivery speed" indirectly reflected the road idiot attribute?
He won't admit it.
Thinking about Ah Q for a while, Lu Chi looked up, the weather was fine today, the sun shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the mulberry tree above his head, Lu Chi felt that summer was coming.
The weather is gradually getting hotter, and naturally more people order cold drinks to take away.Thinking about it this way, Lu Chi saw another delivery man coming over on his own scooter.
Lu Chi took a look, and let out a laugh.
Isn't this a coincidence?
The delivery boy also parked his car under the tree, next to Lu Chi.
Lu Chi leaned over to talk to him: "How about a cold drink?"
"Yeah," the little brother nodded. It's past lunch time. Aren't the takeaway orders this afternoon all filled with milk tea? He took off his helmet and gave Lu Chi a sideways glance, "You too?"
Lu Chi smiled, nodded, and moved closer: "Which building did you send it to?"
"Building F."
"What a coincidence, I also sent it to building F." Lu Chi's eyes lit up, trying not to sound too cheerful.
He already had a bold idea in his mind.
"Then why are you standing here?" The little brother stepped back and looked at him, feeling suspicious.
"I..." Lu Chi hesitated. It's hard to say that Lu Chi couldn't find his way. The first time we met, he was going to expose his Lu Chi attributes. Wouldn't that be to make fun of the generosity of the food delivery industry?Turning his mind, Lu Chi just avoided the important point and said, "I, I came to this park for the first time today..."
He almost bit his tongue when he said this mixed truth.
"Oh... It's really hard to find the way for the first time," he said, and the little brother understood, nodded to express his understanding, and raised his finger in a direction, "Then you can go up with me, right here there."
Lu Chi's heart moved, this was his purpose from the beginning, to let someone who knew the way take him up, but he didn't expect this little brother to be so talkative.
He responded, opened the incubator happily, and saw more than 30 cups of milk tea lying in it, and then suddenly remembered—his customer, Mr. Xia, just said he would come down to look for him a while ago, and he might have gone downstairs by now coming.
"Why don't you move?" The little brother took two steps and saw that Lu Chi didn't move with the incubator open, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he felt more and more suspicious.
"Ah, I'm sorry," Lu Chi also realized, and quickly took out the milk tea.
It's not easy to confess that he is not only Lu Chi, but also waiting for the customer to come down to pick him up... He had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the little brother in front of him, maybe he could meet Mr. Xia halfway.
More than 30 cups of milk tea are enough to take out, so the little brother stepped forward to help him carry some, and glanced at the logo on the packaging bag: "You are from Le Tea."
Lu Chi nodded, and carried most of it by himself, so much milk tea in his hand looked very spectacular, the little brother looked at the three cups of cold drinks in his hand, and said jokingly: " Still a big list."
"I just delivered it for someone today." Speaking of this, Lu Chi felt a little delicate, because he was delivering it for someone else, so no matter how big the list was, he couldn't count it on his head.
Having said that, the little brother naturally understood what he meant, so he nodded and sighed casually: "That's really embarrassing."
Lu Chi fiddled with the badge on his body that had someone else's name on it, curled his lips, and stopped talking.
He followed the little brother into the side door of the building, and saw a tall and long-legged man coming out of the elevator. The man kept staring at the two of them as soon as he came out. Lu Chi felt a little baffled, and fearlessly Eye to eye with that person.
The two looked at each other suspiciously until they passed by.
Lu Chi tilted his head, followed the other brother into the elevator, pressed the floor, and when he was about to close the elevator door, he heard a loud cry from outside the elevator, and then saw the long-legged boy slithering away from the outside Squeeze in.
Lu Chi quickly pressed the door open button, watching the long-legged brother enter the elevator in shock.Although the little brother had no expression on his face, Lu Chi somehow felt that he was being targeted.
The little brother frowned and looked at him twice: "Didn't I tell you to wait for me downstairs?"
"……what?"
When Xia Xingchuan got out of the elevator door, he happened to see someone delivering food, so he couldn't help but take a second look.
Behind this delivery man was another delivery boy, it seemed that the two were not from the same family.The little brother behind noticed his gaze and looked back at him fearlessly.
So he just looked at each other like this for a while, and when the two moved away, he glanced at the person carrying an unusually large amount of milk tea, and vaguely remembered something, and when he looked back, he saw that the person was walking into the elevator, but The word "LeCha" printed on the back of the small vest is very eye-catching.
"Ah!" Si Li!
Xia Xingchuan's body was faster than his brain, he rushed over and squeezed in before the elevator door closed.
Brother Le Cha was clearly taken aback by his actions, and hurried to press the door button.Xia Xingchuan stood still, and glanced at the badge on Brother Le Cha's chest, "You Yu", he remembered the name.
As a young man in the new century who loves desserts, Xia Xingchuan is naturally not the first time to drink Lecha, a local brand of milk tea with a good reputation. He has also invited company employees to drink it before. , Not only did it not arrive in time, but the delivery man also lost his way and was still waiting downstairs for him to come up by himself. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he didn't know how long he would be left downstairs.
Thinking of this, Xia Xingchuan became angry, his face darkened: "Didn't I ask you to wait for me downstairs?"
"...Ah?" Even though Lu Chi's confusion was sprayed by a stranger at the beginning, he quickly came to his senses and asked tentatively, "Is it Mr. Xia?"
His cautious attitude made Xia Xingchuan calm down temporarily, but his expression was still very bad: "Otherwise?"
Lu Chi choked on him, flattened his mouth, and explained: "I just saw that this little brother was coming up too, so I followed up, thinking that maybe I could meet you again... Isn't it really a meeting?" up."
Xia Xingchuan's head got dizzy when he heard it, and he wanted to ask him, "You haven't even seen my face before, so you are so sure you will meet me?"But because there was another person listening in the elevator, I held back for now.
The passer-by takeaway boy also seemed to feel that the atmosphere was not harmonious, so he stood in the corner without saying a word, trying to reduce his sense of existence, and ran away as soon as his floor arrived.
They were the only ones left in the elevator after he left.
Before the passerby brother left, he returned the milk tea that Lu Chi had carried for him. Xia Xingchuan looked at Lu Chi's small body, who looked pitiful with dozens of cups of milk tea, curled his lips, cut his head straight, and took the dozen or so cups. Come and carry it yourself.
Lu Chi saw that he was holding the milk tea and didn't say a word, and he didn't dare to speak, anyway, it was his own fault.
He felt that it was not good for the customer to carry the milk tea by himself. He tried many times to take things from Xia Xingchuan, but was overwhelmed by Xia Xingchuan's cold face, so he gave up.
But this Mr. Xia's face is actually quite pretty.After hesitating to speak again, Lu Chi peeked at his customer, and quietly rated his appearance in his heart.
It's just that the face is too dark, so 1 point will be deducted symbolically.
It's not that Xia Xingchuan didn't notice that the child on the opposite side looked at him from time to time. From the corner of his eye, he saw the other party changing two unusually heavy milk teas from time to time, and couldn't help feeling the weight on his hands.
It's really heavy.
Xia Xingchuan curled his lips, admitting in his heart that delivering food was really hard work, especially the skinny and tender kid in front of him, who looked like he hadn't even graduated from university yet.
But - this is not a reason for overtime non-delivery.
"If you don't know the way," Xia Xingchuan said thoughtfully, "don't choose this kind of part-time job as a food delivery job. Working part-time is not easier than delivering food, especially if you are still a road idiot."
"...Huh?" Lu Chi was wandering at first, but he didn't realize what he was saying for a while, and it took him a while to realize what he was talking about.
I'm afraid he is not regarded as a college student who came out to work and subsidize his family?
Lu Chi has a baby face. When he graduated from high school, he was often asked by people he didn’t know what grade he was in now. When he went out to work in college, he was considered a child laborer. After graduation, he was always taken for granted that he was still in college. .
After all these years, he was tired of explaining, and when he heard someone say that again, he just opened his mouth, as if hesitating to speak, but finally shut up.
Anyway, this time, he wasn't a delivery man in this area, so it was useless to explain so much.
So he nodded perfunctorily, and with a serious look on his face, he said nonsense: "You are right, I also plan to quit after this period of time, and it's time for the exam when the end of the semester comes."
Xia Xingchuan's complexion improved a bit.
When they arrived at the company, the two put more than 30 cups of milk tea at the front desk. Lu Chi took out the takeout order and said, "Check the order and see if there are any mistakes or omissions."
Xia Xingchuan took the list, but didn't read it, he called his colleagues to come to the front desk to claim their own milk tea, while winking at the lady at the front desk.The lady at the front desk understood and went to the innermost room in the office area.
Lu Chizai waited at the door for a while. The company smelled like a bakery. It smelled sweet and made people feel happy.
The milk tea at the front desk was claimed by others, Xia Xingchuan confirmed that everyone got his own cup, and then came out and said to Lu Chi: "That's right, the milk tea is right."
Lu Chi nodded, stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait," Xia Xingchuan called to stop him, just as the lady at the front desk came out with a plate, Xia Xingchuan pointed to the plate at Luchi, "Eat something before we go."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lu Chi to react, he went back to the office area first.
"Eh?" Lu Chi was a little flattered, looking at the young lady at the front desk, "Is this for me?"
"Thank you for delivering the food." The lady at the front desk obviously liked Lu Chi's little milk dog's face, and smiled sweetly at him, "I invite you to eat this sea salt croissant, it is a new product that our company will launch soon."
Lu Chi's eyes lit up when he heard this, it was the first time he met a food delivery person who could still eat by himself: "Wow, can I eat?"
The young lady handed him the plate and pushed him to sit on the small sofa at the door: "Eat, eat, eat before leaving."
The author has something to say: Passing by, one for each favorite message~
No.: The third cup of milk tea
Lu Chi finished his bread and went downstairs, only to find that the delivery boy who had brought him upstairs just now was leaning on his scooter and smoking.
"Have you left yet?" Lu Chi walked over to greet him, and caught a glimpse of the nameplate pinned to his chest, with the word "He Lai" written on it.
"Ah," Brother He saw him coming, and smiled, "I don't have any orders for this afternoon, so I'll take a rest." As he spoke, he poked his cigarette case in front of Lu Chi, "One?"
"No, no, I don't smoke." Lu Chi smiled and didn't answer.
He wasn't in a hurry to leave, he was supposed to be resting today, and it was just a matter of dropping by when he came to this district to help deliver the food, and he had nothing to do after delivering the order.
"I really envy the riders on your food delivery platform. If you have an order, you can pick it up as soon as you want." Lu Chi said enviously, and under the shade of the mulberry tree, he dug out a bottle of sunscreen spray from under the seat cushion of the battery car, and slapped it on himself Spray on your body.
"What's there to be envious of?" He Lai took another puff of cigarette, spit it out slowly, and glanced at him, "Your brand's self-signed rider is the best. You only need to be responsible for delivering milk tea, and it's not even lunch time during peak hours. Son, at least I can eat on time... Hey, what are you spraying on yourself?"
"Huh? You mean this?" Lu Chi was stunned, and passed the spray bottle in his hand, "This is sunscreen, do you want to use some? It's tasteless."
He Lai's expression became subtle in an instant, and he waved his hand: "No need."
Lu Chi withdrew his hand, probably guessing what he was thinking, and didn't care, he just explained with a smile: "I'm not afraid of getting tanned, but my mother doesn't want me to be tanned, so she keeps nagging and forcing me I spray it when I have nothing to do, I feel cool and comfortable after spraying it, and it doesn’t have that kind of motherly chirping fragrance, so I just use it.”
"Hmm." He Lai let out such an unintelligible hum from his throat, thinking that you don't need to explain it like this, took another puff of cigarette, saw that Lu Chi had sprayed the spray and still hadn't moved, picked it up Raising eyebrows, "Are you still leaving?"
Lu Chi laughed mischievously, as the saying goes, you have to do a full set of acting, but you can't expose the fact that you are Lu Chi, so he had to take out the old stalk again: "Then what... isn't this my first time here... I I can't quite find the way, you good people do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west..."
"It's gotta——" He Lai was also afraid of him, he knew that he shouldn't have taken the matter of taking him upstairs in the first place, and now he still relies on him, "Wait until I finish smoking .”
Lu Chi nodded his head in a polite manner, "Hey, take it easy!"
While waiting for Brother He Lai to finish smoking, Lu Chi took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to his employer, Mr. Xia, who had just completed the transaction.
——This is his usual routine. He knows that he is late, so the delivery is always slow, but he also knows that his face is very useful, so every time after delivering the milk tea, he will send a text message to the employers, sincerely While expressing apology, they will be cute and miserable by the way, and in the end they will forgive him for his sake, and even give him a good review.
So much so that he automatically ignored that the employer this time was a big man, and he kept expressing his dislike for Lu Chi's delivery of food.
So what?A man who can ask him to eat bread will never be too bad-hearted!
The kind-hearted man was about to come out of the company at this time, and said to the lady at the front desk: "I'll go to the new store in District A."
As soon as I turned around and hadn't left the gate, I felt my phone vibrate. I took it out and saw it was a strange yet familiar number.
"Hello, I'm the rider who delivered the food to you just now. I hope you can spare some time to give me a good review. A good review costs two yuan. A bad review will result in a fine of two hundred and a forced two-day rest. Two days is not a day. If you earn money, please understand, thank you."
……what?
Xia Xingchuan felt that it was necessary to give this "You Yu" a bad review, didn't he mean that he had to rest for two days?Just in time to give him time to prepare for his final exams.
Even though he thought so, he still didn't open the app to do so, he just turned back and told the front desk: "Next time, I'll order Le Cha's takeaway, and make a note not to let that person named You Yu deliver it again."
"Ah?" The lady at the front desk originally saw that the boss was about to go out, and was about to take out the phone to play a mobile game for a while, but when she saw the boss folded it back, she was so scared that her phone almost fell to the ground, she nodded quickly, "Okay, okay of."
Xia Xingchuan didn't seem to see her actions, didn't say anything, just nodded, and then left.
Lu Chi sent the small battery and the small vest work clothes back to the store. He could have just left and went straight to get off work, but he remembered the call Xiangcha had made to him before, and simply returned to the store in District A.
At this time, the busiest time in the afternoon on weekdays had passed, and the store was not so busy at the moment. Xiang Cha also came out from behind the bar, and found a random place to sit and watch dramas.
"Sister," Lu Chi walked in, looked around and found that there was no one else in the shop except Xiang Cha, "You are the only one in the shop?"
Xiangcha is the founder of the LeCha brand. He has opened many stores in Haishi. He is only in his early 30s and has already managed a successful business. However, he is also a master who can’t stay in the office. This main store has opened a small office, the owner is also the store manager, who can make money and make milk tea.
"Hey, Lu Chi is back, come in and have a seat." Xiang Cha also saw him coming in, and raised his hand to beckon him to come in and sit down.
"Where are they people?" In addition to Xiangcha, there are naturally milk tea employees in the store, and there is also a delivery guy like him, although he can also help out when there is no delivery order in the store. One or two cups of milk tea, but there are very few times when there is no delivery order, and he still runs outside more often.
"When I called you this afternoon, it was very busy. After that, it gradually became less busy. Let them go back to rest for a while, and then come back after dinner. If there are fewer people, I can handle it in the store," Xiang Cha said. Thinking again, "Oh, it's time for you to rest today, and I asked you to help in area B. How did you find the way?"
"Nope." Xiang Cha knew the details of his Lu Chi, so Lu Chi had no choice but to tell the truth, "Calling a customer caused them to come downstairs to find me, and then came out with a rider from a food delivery platform... ..."
"You..." Xiang Cha didn't know what to say about him, "Should I call you stupid or praise you for being smart?"
When it came to this, Lu Chi was a little unconvinced: "I'm just a Lu idiot, I'm not stupid."
He is really not stupid, just because he doesn't know the way, others always label him as "not good at thinking". He is a talented student who graduated from the 985 college with a double degree, because he looks immature and doesn't know the way, Passers-by are looking at him with filters, but he must be aggrieved to death.
"That's right, it's my fault, is it my fault?" He has been working for a few months, and Xiang Cha also knows his temper, so he hastily admitted his mistake, and without stopping, he took out a card to plug his hand into it. Li, "My sister treats you to a cake, so I went out and crossed the road. There is a newly opened dessert shop at the intersection over there. You can buy it, and you can buy whatever you want. By the way, I will bring a red velvet box cake for my sister and I will be fine." ?”
When Lu Chi saw the bank card stuffed in his hand, he said, "I think you want to eat the cake from that store..."
"Then what," Xiang Cha smiled with a guilty conscience, "I'm not...I'm the only one who can't leave the store...their red velvet is a signature, you must buy it for me, woo woo Woooo..."
"That's right, I'll buy it for you." Lu Chi couldn't bear this kind of flirting, and waved the card in his hand, "Anyway, I don't spend money."
This road is not very long, the kind that can be seen at a glance.The road is not very wide, and the sycamore trees on both sides of the road as street trees can grow together in summer.Surrounded by art districts, the style of buildings and shops in this area has a bit of literary and petty bourgeoisie.
The newly opened dessert shop is very eye-catching. The color of the store is mainly dark red with relatively high saturation, and because it has not been opened for a long time, the newly renovated store looks much newer than the store next door.
Lu Chi saw it at a glance.
The name of the store is SweetIris, and the logo is a hand-painted simple iris flower. The style of the entire store fits well with this neighborhood.
Lu Chi took a rough look at the store entrance, but he didn't have any idea. What's the use of decorating the store in a flashy way? It's better to sell delicious food.
He pushed open the glass door and went in, just in time to bump into the people who were walking out.
"Feel sorry."
Lu Chi barely stood still, when he heard the other party say sorry first.
He wanted to wave his hand and say it's okay, but he took it and thought about it carefully. Where did he hear this voice?
Taking a closer look, Lu Chi still couldn't hold back, and let out a "Huh".
After a while, Xia Xingchuan also saw the person in front of him clearly.
Coincidentally, it's not someone else, isn't it Xiaolu Chi who delivered late takeaway in the afternoon?
"Huh," Lu Chi recalled the sea salt croissant in the afternoon, and smiled sweetly at Xia Xingchuan, "Mr. Xia is such a coincidence?"
"..." Xia Xingchuan didn't think it was a coincidence that one head was two big.
No. [-]: The fourth cup of milk tea
Xia Xingchuan suspected that he was being followed, but he couldn't directly ask if the person in front of him was following him, otherwise he would appear to be overly self-conscious and brainless.
He could only stare warily at this seemingly harmless little Lu Chi in front of him. If he remembered correctly, this person should be called You Yu, right?
"You..." he said hesitantly, "Why are you here?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted it. This is a store open to the public. Anyone who wants to buy something can come here, and what he wants to ask is—"How did you find this place?"
Lu Chi was stunned for a moment, apparently he didn't expect him to ask such a question, and said with doubts: "I'm here to buy cakes." Otherwise, why else?
Xia Xingchuan was dubious: "What do you want to buy?"
"I heard that the red velvet box cake here is good, it seems to be a sign? I want to buy that." After Lu Chi finished speaking, he felt that a big man would be too sissy to buy a red velvet cake, so he couldn't help but sneak a glance. Xia Xingchuan took a look and found that he didn't have any strange reaction, so he was relieved.
After all, when he was spraying sunscreen in the afternoon, the way that brother He Lai looked at him changed.
Xia Xingchuan nodded. Only then did he believe that this person really came here to buy cakes. He couldn't help pointing out: "The red velvet is indeed a sign, but this is not the most delicious one."
"I'm here for the first time, is there any hidden delicious food?"
"Here," Xia Xingchuan led him to the refrigerator, and ordered something inside through the glass, "this."
"Cinderella Cheese," Lu Chi looked at the label and read out the name, then smiled, "Isn't this just an ordinary cheesecake?"
Not only does it look no different from ordinary cheesecakes, but the price is also the cheapest among all kinds of cakes that are all around, which is the ultimate in simplicity.From this point of view, it really deserves the name.
"It does look very ordinary. You can try it. If it doesn't taste good, I'll treat it to you."
"Okay," Lu Chi's eyes rolled, he is not a person who likes to take advantage, but he just thinks how delicious a cheesecake can be, and he is curious about Xia Xingchuan's so hard-working Amway behavior, "How do you know this is good?" food?"
Xiang Cha told him that this store has only been open for two days, how can this Mr. Xia know so well what is delicious and what is not delicious in this store?
The corner of Xia Xingchuan's mouth twitched: "Because I opened this store."
"Hey..." Lu Chi was also a little guessing in his heart, but now he was a little surprised to hear him say it himself, "Your company is not the one this afternoon..."
"That's the formula research and development center." Xia Xingchuan said, pointing to the ground, "This is the store."
"So..." It was the first time Lu Chi heard that there was such a business model. He digested the information for a while, and soon thought of something, and the light in his eyes lit up quickly, "Does that mean that today's The sea croissant that the sister at the front desk gave me is also here? Give me a dozen!"
As he said that, he slapped the card that Xiang Cha gave him on the cash register very boldly, which shocked the cashier lady.
Although SI's store is a dessert shop, its main products are baked goods. The whole store has a baked aroma mixed with milk, just like the company he sent milk tea to.
Lu Chi was still thinking about it while eating in the afternoon. After eating this, he wondered when he would be able to eat this sea salt croissant again. Hehe, I didn't expect it to come without effort!
"Hush——" Xia Xingchuan pulled him over, raised his index finger and put it on his mouth, "Slow down, the food I'm giving you today is a new product that hasn't been released yet, you can eat it as soon as you eat it, can you keep a low profile .”
"Hey, it's not on the market yet?" Lu Chi blinked, then smiled again, "Then I didn't get it first, hehe."
"..." Xia Xingchuan sighed looking at his excited little appearance, he really couldn't bear to tell him that the bread recipe he liked so much was wrong and had to be adjusted again.
But it's not a bad thing, Xia Xingchuan looked at Lu Chi, and let Xiao Lu Chi know that the product he likes is a new product, and he is not afraid that he will not come to support it when it is launched.
It's nice to have one more potential customer.
In the end, Lu Chi picked out several different types of cakes and breads and bought them to take away. Except for the red velvet that Cha Er asked to buy, Lu Chi bought the others out of his own pocket.
After Xiang Cha took them back, Lu Chi took the cake he bought and headed home.
His family didn't live far away, just a few bus stops away, but now it was approaching the rush hour, and he was afraid of traffic jams and his cake being squeezed by the bus, so he chose to walk home slowly.
I didn't expect to be kicked out by his mother just after returning home before my butt was hot.
"Your friends called in the afternoon to ask you to go out for dinner at night, and I agreed to come down, and I didn't cook your meal at home, so go quickly..."
"What's going on?" Before Lu Chi's cake was put in the refrigerator, he was rushed by his mother to change clothes, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, "You don't even ask me when someone invites me to dinner." Ask for my opinion?"
The ones who can find his mother here are nothing more than his group of youngsters who have been playing since they were young, that is, a group of rich second generations. The so-and-so in the past took up management in their own company, and the prince was just airborne. He insisted on having a celebration Banquet, as if he sat on it by his own ability.
This group of people had approached him before, but he politely rejected them, and now they have gone to his mother's place again to save the country.His mother is also a face-saving person, and she didn't want to let this group of juniors look down upon her, so she agreed to everything.
"People say that all the seats are reserved, everyone is here, I can still refuse and say oh no, our family Luchi has been very busy at work recently, and we don't get off work until late. If someone asks me what you are doing so busy recently, I want to tell people that you are going to deliver food." Mom buttoned his buttons, feeling aggrieved, "Are you willing to introduce my son to others like this?"
"Mom..." Lu Chi sighed, "Don't you just don't want me to continue delivering food? Do you need to make such a big turn to persuade me?"
"What do you mean I don't want to? It's because you're not suitable for this job." Mom confidently opened her fingers and told Lu Chi one by one. "Look at you, you're a road idiot. If you can’t deliver well, you can still deliver takeaways? They get off work in the evening and you still have to deliver milk tea to others in the middle of the night? Our family conditions are so good, you just stay in your father’s courier company as a management team, right? Take it easy? Tell your mother what's wrong. "
"I'm in the management team, so I have to be convinced by someone," Lu Chi said, "You don't know why I left my father's company, do you? The whole company thinks I'm an idiot, and I'm ashamed to stay there now?"
"Then you studied management for several years in college just to deliver food?"
"What's wrong with the food delivery? Don't I do it now? I basically delivered it all over in Area A. I don't know the way, but don't you remember it if you make a few more trips?" Lu Chi put on his clothes, I sprayed some styling gel on my head and scratched it, "I think I'm doing a good job now, and there's nothing shameful about it." After scratching, I looked in the mirror and felt quite satisfied, and I didn't want to listen to his mother anymore. He picked up his coat and went out, "Okay, I'm leaving. I bought a few cakes in the refrigerator today. Take them out and try them when you have time."
"Hey, what time did you come back at night?"
"I don't know, don't wait for me," Lu Chi took a few steps outside, then turned back and told her, "Eat the cakes in the refrigerator quickly, especially the Cinderella cheesecake, try it, if it's not good, I'll see you tomorrow claim."
No. [-]: The fifth cup of milk tea
When Lu arrived at the restaurant late, everyone at the table was full.
He stood at the door of the private room, glanced roughly, and saw Han Jianqing sitting next to the only vacant seat. Han Jianqing happened to see him too, so he raised his hand to beckon him over.
"Lu Chi, this way."
His voice was neither high nor low, and the chattering people around him all stopped and looked towards Lu Chi in unison.
Lu Chi's heart shuddered, and he couldn't help frowning.He walked towards Han Jianqing without stopping.
In other words, the people at this table grew up together from childhood to adulthood, and there are people from all kinds of industries in the family.But Han Jianqing is Lu Chi's real childhood. Both parents are in the express delivery business. In the early years, the two partnered to start a business. Later, Han Jianqing's father went to do the cold chain business, so they separated. However, the relationship between the two Always good.
Among this group of people, Lu Chi was the only one who could talk to Han Jianqing.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to his seat, before he could take his seat, Jiang Qi, who was sitting in the main seat, stood up, holding a wine glass in his hand, and said in a very sophisticated manner: "Oh, the road is late, but let us wait a long time, You have to have two drinks first."
Lu Chi looked at the table, there were already three glasses of white wine in front of him, apparently ready to be poured before he came.
Knowing that they were all waiting to see his jokes, he smirked, he was too lazy to talk nonsense, and drank all three glasses of wine without saying a word.
The room was immediately filled with the sound of booing from a group of people watching the excitement.
"What are you in such a rush to drink?" After taking his seat, Han Jianqing poured him a glass of orange juice, "Don't bother with them."
"They're just waiting to see my jokes," Lu Chi grabbed a piece of steamed fish for himself as soon as he sat down, and said while eating, "I don't know where I found out that I stopped working in my company and went to deliver food. At this moment, I have parachuted into the family business again, and I am planning to humiliate me."
The reason why they organized this dinner was to celebrate Jiang Qi's airborne management position in his own company Jiang Neng Electronics, but this kind of thing doesn't show any sense of superiority among the rich second generations, so they did everything possible to call Shanglu Chi Come.
"Hey, Lu Chi, I haven't seen you for a while, do you feel a little tanned?" No, before it calmed down for a while, someone cue him again, "Did you go on vacation?"
"How can I... What kind of vacation are you taking?" Lu Chi was not angry, and smiled, "I'm working."
He began to mutter in his heart, the sunscreen spray his mother gave him, he sprayed it every day, why didn't it work at all?
"Aren't you working in your father's company?" A playwright friend pretended to be surprised, "Then where are you now?"
They all asked knowingly. If the group of people didn't know where he worked, they wouldn't have found him.
"Food industry," Lu Chi's lips curled up slightly, he raised his eyes and looked straight at the person who asked this question, and said neither humble nor overbearing, "I deliver milk tea."
"Send milk tea..." The man didn't expect him to say it so generously, and he was trying to taunt him, but now he couldn't say anything.
"Yes, delivering milk tea is exactly what you think. I'm going to deliver food," Lu Chi said, picking up food on his own, without caring. It makes no difference."
"Pfft," someone couldn't help laughing during the dinner, "delivering food? Just you..."
These people have known each other since they were young, so they naturally know that Lu Chi has a poor sense of direction, and he has never collapsed since he was a child.
However, being questioned in such a tone in front of so many people, Lu Chi's face was still a bit ugly.
"You..." Han Jianqing couldn't listen anymore, and wanted to say something to stop him, but was interrupted by Lu Chi's next words.
"It's just me, what's the matter?" Lu Chi was always smiling, but his eyes were a little cold, which didn't really match his baby face, and somehow gave people a sense of seriousness that violated, "I've worked so many times. I haven’t been fired for a month, does it explain the problem? At least I rely on my own hard work, instead of being able to sit in the executive position with a diploma and a parent.”
As soon as he said this, the faces of several people at the table changed.
No matter how stupid Jiang Qi was, he could hear that Lu Chi was talking about him, and his face was even more ugly, but at this time, of course, he still wanted to find the place, so he twitched the corners of his mouth: "Which milk tea shop are you delivering food to, Lu Chi? , when will the brothers also take care of your business?"
"That's great," Lu Chi said, "I also sent a big order of more than 30 cups this afternoon. Everyone here is now a successful person. If you want to patronize my birthday, you can't compare to this order."
Now that we have reached this point, another person next to him asked, "Which milk tea shop did you deliver?"
"Le Cha."
"Le Cha?" A girl snorted, "I just saw Le Cha's Amway was on the trending search today," she said, taking out her phone to look for that Weibo, flipping through it and thinking about it , "It is said that Le Cha has a takeaway brother who is a very small milk dog... Wait..." She seemed to have thought of something, and looked up at Lu Chi, "Should...shouldn't..."
"...Huh?" Lu Chi was concentrating on breaking off a crab leg just now, and now he was stunned by the little girl, thought about what she just said, understood, and smiled brightly at the girl, "You I read the Weibo post mentioned, and the takeaway boy mentioned above should be me."
"Hey—it's true!" The girl suddenly held her face in disbelief and said, "You are an Internet celebrity now!"
"No, no..." Lu Chi waved his hand, "That's not the case."
"The area you delivered is in Area A, right?" The little girl blushed, "I really know how to order takeaway! Call you!"
"Okay, thank you."
Now Lu Chi is finally not as sharp as before. If he had known that coming here to eat would not only hurt him, but also bring him success, he would have come here long ago.
Han Jianqing touched him with his elbow.Lu Chi turned his head: "Why?"
"Yes, you." Han Jianqing winked at him, leaned over and whispered to him, "He is clearly interested in you."
"I didn't mean that..." Lu Chi waved his hand, "I just have a pure cooperative relationship with her. You know, I don't like girls..."
"I know they don't know," Han Jianqing shook his head, "Then you still accept his kindness?"
"She didn't confess her love, why did she refuse?" Lu Chi glanced at him, "What are you paying attention to? Do you want to cut off your buddy's money?"
"Fuck you," Han Jianqing spat at him and stood up, "I'm going to the bathroom."
When he said this, Lu Chi felt a little anxious to urinate, and quickly put down the crab claws in his hand, wiped his hands and stood up, "Wait a minute, I'll go too."
Lu Chi and Han Jianqing's purpose of going to the bathroom is different. Lu Chi is to solve his physical needs, while Han Jianqing, an old smoker, just came to smoke a cigarette because of his addiction.
So Lu Chi went straight out without waiting for him after draining the water.
This store is a high-end restaurant chain with a good environment, and even the bathroom is decorated in style.
But the bad thing is that the store has done a lot of privacy for the privacy of customers. Relatively speaking, the lights are not so bright, and the store is mostly private rooms, and the aisles are deep and long. Back and forth, it was really unfriendly to Lu Chi.
Lu Chi drank some wine, and now he didn't feel that he was going the wrong way. He walked to the door of a private room based on his feeling, and he pushed the door open and walked in very confidently.
The private room was very quiet, completely opposite to the atmosphere at the beginning.
Lu Chi was only in a daze for a moment before realizing that he had gone to the wrong room.
This private room was exactly the same as his previous one, but there were only two people sitting in it.
He knew one of them, and this time, he had met three times today.
"Mr. Xia..." Lu Chi looked at half of the man's face that had darkened in an instant, and was so awake that he couldn't wake up anymore, and even felt cold sweat coming down his back.
Sitting opposite Xia Xingchuan was a girl who looked like a famous lady. The girl turned to look at Lu Chi, then turned to look at Xia Xingchuan, and asked tentatively, "Is...someone you know?"
"No," Xia Xingchuan said with a dark face, "it's a stalker."
Lu Chi:? ? ? ? ? ?

No.: The sixth cup of milk tea
No matter how dull Lu Chi was, he knew that he had entered the blind date scene indiscriminately.
One of the parties participating in the blind date is also his client, the unpredictable Mr. Xia.Mr. Xia's dress is much more formal than during the day, presumably because he attaches great importance to this blind date, and now he barged in so abruptly...
Lu Chi didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Xia Xingchuan also had a headache. After going to the new store in the afternoon, he was planning to go back to the company again. Unexpectedly, his mother, Ms. Jiao, called temporarily to say that she was shopping outside, but no one picked him up, so he asked him to drive her to dinner.
His mother said that he couldn't say no to it, so he drove the car, anyway, he was used to being a driver for his family.
I didn't expect that it was fake to send her to dinner, but it was true that he came on a blind date as a routine.What his mother bought was formal clothes for Xia Xingchuan for blind date occasions.
Careless.
Xia Xingchuan should have thought of it from the moment he received the fuck at the door of a high-end men's clothing brand store.He, who never buys gifts for his father, must be tricky to appear on this occasion.
However, Meng Shu, the blind date, also looked like she was tricked by her parents. The two were still facing each other in this private room, smiling awkwardly and politely at each other.Fortunately, this restaurant is opened by Xia Xingchuan and his family. He is quite familiar with the special dishes here, so he dutifully introduced them to Meng Shu so that the two of them would not be seated.
Although Lu Chi's appearance was very sudden, it still broke the strange atmosphere in the room. On this point, Xia Xingchuan breathed a sigh of relief.
But the person who broke in, if it was anyone else, Xia Xingchuan would be grateful.But it happened to be the little brother Lu Chi who had met three times even though it was the first time today, which made Xia Xingchuan feel a little strange in his heart.
When Meng Shu saw Lu Chi come in and asked him the question, he wasn't speaking in anger.
He really felt something was wrong.
Is it possible to meet the same person by chance three times in one day?
What's more, it doesn't even count as acquaintance, it's just that this person has delivered a takeaway to himself.If he can still convince himself that it was a coincidence when he met in the new store in the afternoon, what about the situation now?
Meng Shu saw that he was not hesitant, so she pursed her lips, thinking that she was embarrassing him because of her meddling.
No matter who Xia Xingchuan said, "it's a stalker", it sounds like he's being angry when he hears it.
She turned her head to look at Lu Chi again, seeing that he was still standing there, she guessed that maybe he really wanted to talk to Xia Xingchuan about something.Anyway, she didn't enjoy the meal herself, so she took the napkin and wiped her mouth: "I'm done eating, Mr. Xia, let's stop here today."
"Sorry, Miss Meng," Xia Xingchuan thought of her now, raised his hand and wiped his face, saw that Meng Shu had already stood up with her bag, and hurriedly got up, "I'll see you off."
"It's okay," Meng Shu raised her hand, "My driver will pick me up."
"Then I'll take you to the elevator." Xia Xingchuan picked up his suit jacket from the back of the chair and hung it on his arm, and followed him out. His gentlemanly manner did not give her any reason to continue to refuse.
Meng Shu didn't say anything about this, she went out of the private room first and waited for him outside.
Lu Chi saw that they were going to come out, and he couldn't block the door, so he dodged to the side, and was about to find an excuse to retreat, so he opened his mouth: "I..."
"Wait here for a while," he said before he was interrupted by Xia Xingchuan who came to him.
Xia Xingchuan smelled some alcohol on him, frowned, but didn't say anything else, just said: "I have something to ask you."
It wasn't "I have something to say", it was "I have something to ask", Lu Chi stopped talking embarrassingly, his cheeks puffed up with grievance.
Meng Shu watched from the side. Compared with the expressionless Xia Xingchuan, this little brother who broke in suddenly had a much richer expression, and he was so good-looking that she couldn't help but stare at him.
Xia Xingchuan came out, and Meng Shu couldn't keep looking at Lu Chi anymore, so she had to go out with him.
The location of this private room is quite inside, Lu Chi was worried that he would not recognize the way when he came out later, so he followed them a few steps behind, watching Xia Xingchuan go to the front desk and order something before leaving with the beauty , He took out his cell phone to send Han Jianqing a message.
He and Mr. Xia are no longer the relationship between the customer and the delivery man, so he doesn't have to listen to him and wait there obediently.If it wasn't for looking at the girl next to him just now, Mr. Xia would not be able to get off the stage. After all, this is a blind date.He still understands why it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy one marriage.
Lu Chi: Han Jianqing!help me!
Han Jianqing:? ? ? ?
Han Jianqing: Are you still in the toilet?Is there no paper?
Lu Chi: Bah, bah, I came out early, I went to the wrong private room.
Han Jianqing: ...
Han Jianqing: I went back to the private room to see that you hadn't come back. I thought you fell into the toilet pit.
Lu Chi: ...
Lu Chi: Are you still eating, isn't it disgusting to say such things while eating?
Han Jianqing: Convex
Han Jianqing: Do you still want me to save you?
Lu Chi: Dad, I was wrong, Dad, help me.
Han Jianqing: Kouheng, report the coordinates and wait for Dad to rescue you.
Lu Chi described his current position to Han Jianqing, and then waited quietly for him to rescue him.
He put away his mobile phone, caught a glimpse of a waiter coming from the corner of his eye, and subconsciously moved two steps to the side to make way for the waiter.Unexpectedly, the target of the other party was him, and walked up to him and called him: "This gentleman."
"Ah?" Lu Chi looked up at him, saw that the waiter was holding a glass in his hand, and pointed at himself in doubt, "For, for me?"
"Yes," the waiter handed the cup to him, "This is the honey water that Mr. Xia ordered to prepare for you."
"Ah...thank you." Lu Chi took the water hesitantly and thanked the younger brother.
Lu Chi waited for the waiter to leave before taking a sip of the glass of water. He did see Xia Xingchuan ordering something at the front desk before leaving, but he didn't expect to prepare honey water for himself.
Just thinking about this, Lu Chi accidentally raised his eyes and saw Xia Xingchuan coming in from the outside, and he straightened his back involuntarily.
"Mr. Xia..."
"Tell me," Xia Xingchuan walked up to him and asked straight to the point, "Why did you come here and what is your purpose?"
"Ah...?" Lu Chi was stunned, he didn't expect him to ask his teacher for a crime as soon as he came back, "I came here to eat..."
Xia Xingchuan frowned, but he didn't believe his words at all. Instead, he felt that there was no truth in his mouth: "You, a college student who works part-time by delivering food, can you afford to eat here?"
"Ah..." Xia Xingchuan spoke bluntly, and it was only after hearing this that Lu Chi realized what the crux of the matter was.
When delivering food in the afternoon, Xia Xingchuan mistook himself for a part-time college student delivering food. Because he thought he would no longer deliver milk tea in area B, he didn't bother to correct this misunderstanding, and let Mr. Xia misunderstand.
Thinking of this, Lu Chi still couldn't help but sigh. Not only did he not expect to meet him in that newly opened dessert shop after delivering the milk tea, but he also didn't expect to meet him here again. This city is too small Bar.
Lu Chi complained in his heart, thinking that it would be better to clear up the misunderstanding, and just opened his mouth to explain: "Actually... I... Oops."
Someone knocked on the head from behind, Lu Chi covered his head and turned around grinning, and saw Han Jianqing standing behind him with folded arms, and raised his chin at him when he saw him turn around: "Son, dad, come here!" I'll pick you up."
"You came here when you came," Lu Chi raised two beautiful eyebrows, and said angrily, "Can you stop hitting me on the head? What should I do if I'm stupid?"
Xia Xingchuan looked at this man who appeared suddenly. He was well dressed, had a good temperament, and was young, so he looked like he should be a son of a rich family. Why did he look very familiar with that college student.
For some reason, Xia Xingchuan's expression became a little subtle.
Han Jianqing naturally noticed the person next to Lu Chi. He saw the two of them talking just now, but he didn't know this person.
"Who is this……?"
"Oh, he is..." Lu Chi was about to speak, but Xia Xingchuan preempted him again.
"I am the owner of this store, and my surname is Xia." Xia Xingchuan stood upright, with a calm face, "I came here today to inspect the work, and I happened to see this gentleman waiting for someone here, so I chatted with him Two sentences."
Lu Chi let out a "huh" and glanced at Xia Xingchuan—he really dared to say it. Although Lu Chi knew that he had opened a dessert company, the words "I am the owner of this store" could not be heard. Is it good to say everywhere...
Xia Xingchuan could roughly guess what he was thinking just by looking at him, but he was confident because what he said was not a lie.
The owner of this store is not him, but his father.
Looking at his confident expression, Lu Chi couldn't figure out why he said that, and he didn't dare to act rashly, so he just shut up and didn't speak.
"Hello." Han Jianqing was a little concerned about Lu Chi's hesitant "Huh", but he still nodded politely to Xia Xingchuan, and then turned to Lu Chi, "Let's go back to eat, you won't find it next time." Just call me? I almost thought you fell into a latrine today and asked me to come out to get you..."
Xia Xingchuan: "..."
Lu Chi: "..."
He almost touched his forehead—what's the matter with this man, the boss is still in front of him, can he have some qualities.
Back in the private room, everyone at the table was overwhelmed, sitting there drinking and chatting, but there was still a lot of food left, Lu Chi ignored everyone, sat down and concentrated on eating.
Han Jianqing didn't talk to him either. He was a little concerned about the person in the hall just now, so he took out his phone to check the information.
Lu Chi was also really hungry. After loosening a big order in the afternoon, he was kicked out by his mother without eating anything. As a result, he drank a lot without eating a few sips. He snatched it up, domineering on the table, and was in the middle of eating when he suddenly heard Han Jianqing who was next to him say "Huh".
"Huh?" He turned his head to look at Han Jianqing with a small green vegetable in his mouth, and asked casually, "What's wrong."
"That person just now...is really the owner of this store." Han Jianqing stared at the phone and said.
"You really checked it..." Lu Chi shook his head, "I thought he only opened a dessert company."
He said this nonchalantly, but Han Jianqing was taken aback: "You knew him before?"
"Didn't I say that I'm going to deliver milk tea this afternoon?" Lu Chi had almost eaten, took a tissue to wipe the oil from his mouth, "I just went to deliver it to their company."
"Then how did he act like a businessman when you just met?"
"How would I know?" Not to mention Han Jianqing, he has been thinking about it all the time. This Mr. Xia always has a cold face and looks very indifferent, but he talks about things and things. , Lu Chi couldn't figure it out, so he poked his head with his index finger and said seriously, "I'm afraid it's Watt here."
No. [-]: The seventh cup of milk tea
When Lu Chi went to work again, the store was extremely busy.
Summer is approaching, and the demand for cold drinks among urbanites is only increasing. Coupled with the recommendation of the previous gourmet celebrity V, it is only natural that the business in their store is booming.
However, the popularity of online tap water promotion will definitely start to fade after a certain period of time, which makes Xiangcha a little bit burnt out.
People who do business are like this. They are afraid that there will be no business, and they are also afraid that the business will be too good, and they will also be afraid that the success of the business will be weak after the business is good.At this stage, the manpower is a bit tight, but I dare not recruit new people easily, for fear that if the sales volume drops in the future, the operating cost will still be higher than before.
Although Lecha is the ace milk tea that dominates Haishi, it is also a relatively new milk tea brand that has only been around for four or five years. It focuses on mellow taste, affordable prices and creative new products launched from time to time.
Therefore, the top priority is to actively develop the new products that will be launched this summer to stabilize word-of-mouth, and not let this wave of enthusiasm be lost naturally.
Lu Chi likes to sleep late, so his working hours are usually from afternoon to night, and he goes to the store after lunch, which happens to be the time when the order for milk tea delivery is hidden.
He put his things inside, put on a work uniform and a vest, and came out to deliver milk tea, but Xiang Cha saw him and stopped him.
"Xiaolu, come here." He beckoned to Cha Cha and asked him to go over and try a few new samples, to see if there were any new products that could be put into the market.
When Lu applied for the job belatedly, Xiang Cha had seen his resume. He majored in business management in college and his second degree was in food.Based on Xiang Cha's understanding of him during this period, he found that he also loves food and has a lot of research on food. She wanted to hear his opinion.
"Oh." Lu Chi responded and walked over.
Four small paper cups were placed in front of the tea, each cup was filled with milk tea, and each cup was labeled.
"Is this a new product planned?"
"Well, try it," Xiang Cha pushed these cups towards Lu Chi, "see if there is anything you like."
"It's hard to say," Lu Chi raised his eyes to look at her, Xiang Cha was obviously in a dilemma, which meant that these samples all tasted the same, "If you can't choose any of them, it probably doesn't have any special characteristics."
"You try it before you talk?"
Lu Chi didn't say anything more, and tried several new flavors side by side.
"Hmm..." He closed his eyes and smacked, frowning slightly.
"How about it?"
"It's hard to say..." Lu Chi pursed his lips, "After I tasted it, it's not that these few taste bad, but I don't think these are suitable for launching as new summer products."
"How to say?" Xiang Cha put on a look of willingness to hear more about it.
"The taste is too strong," Lu Chi said, "It will feel a little greasy after drinking it. In summer, customers' demands for drinks are mainly refreshing and thirst-quenching. Although these drinks are very rich in taste, for example, your cup, this cup is mine. I think these four can be saved. I think it’s delicious to add sea salt to the milk cover, and the sugar content can be lowered. But it’s too greasy to use milk tea as the base under the milk cover. It should be much better to replace it with pure tea as the base , so that the bitterness of the strong tea will neutralize part of the thickness of the milk cap. I’m just giving an example, because the amount of sugar, temperature, and capacity specifications will all have an impact on the final taste presented to customers.”
"Hmm..." Xiang Cha rubbed his chin thoughtfully.If she had a beard, she would have started smoothing it by now.
"So Sister Chacha, if you are thinking about new products, you can think about the taste."
"That means I can't do these prescriptions now, right?" Xiang Cha bent forward in frustration, a little bit broken.
"I think the sea salt milk cap can be kept and optimized," Lu Chi suggested pertinently.
He originally planned to go out quickly to deliver food, but he couldn't bear to see Xiang Cha like this, so he couldn't help but sit in front of her and said a few more words: "Sister Chacha, think about it now, what is the purpose of making new products? It is to increase sales Ah, then this new product must have the ability to bring sales, right, so we must know the needs of customers when the new product is launched, and it is correct to formulate the development direction of the new product based on this.”
"But it's too late..." Xiang Cha wailed, "Finally, a big V sold our Amway, if we don't launch new products soon, this wave of enthusiasm will pass..."
Lu Chi blinked: "This kind of promotion, you don't need to wait for others to recommend you, you can go to KOL to discuss cooperation promotion."
Xiang Cha flat-mouthed: "That's so expensive!"
Lu Chi: "..."
This kind of problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, okay? !It's not like you can't come up with money!
Sure enough, capitalists are iron cocks.
"That's why you have to come up with new products that are worth promoting," Lu Chi said earnestly, "Otherwise, you can cultivate a domestic KOL to promote our milk tea or something... What do you think I am doing? "
"Because you provided a new idea," Xiang Cha said with a radiant face and bright eyes, "Isn't there a domestic KOL in front of me?"
"Wha... huh?" Lu Chi came to his senses, and pointed to his nose, "Are you talking about me?"
"Then why not!" Xiang Cha grinned, "Didn't you be cueed in the Weibo that tweeted about our store? That means your good looks are obvious to all."
"So, so what?" Lu Chi felt wronged as a handsome guy, "Can you blame me for being good-looking?"
Xiang Cha grinned: "If you look good, you have to make use of it."
Lu Chi still wants to make a final resistance: "It also costs money to raise a KOL at home..."
Isn't she too expensive?Moreover, the cost of raising a KOL from 0 fans may be much higher than finding a mature Internet celebrity blogger, but from the perspective of sustainable development, there is no problem. The problem is that Lu Chi does not want to be a KOL.
Xiang Cha: "I'll give you double salary."
Lu Chi: "...Come on."
In the end, the problem was solved with money.
Lu Chi went to the front desk to fill up milk tea, and rode a small battery to work.Recently, he has become very familiar with Area A, and the delivery speed has been much faster. Several repeat customers who ordered their milk tea also gave good reviews. After all, Lu Chi is a delivery guy who has no shortcomings except Lu Chi.
He sent it all the way, and then thought of the promise he had made with Xiang Cha. He never expected that his 0-follower Weibo account would be rediscovered because of this opportunity.
It can only be said to be a trick of good fortune.
After running outside for an afternoon, time passed quickly. In the evening, I finished work and went back to cycle. I passed a dessert shop on the way. Lu Chi caught a glimpse of the familiar crimson from the corner of my eye, and stopped involuntarily.
It's SI, this one is not the one over there, it should be one of the branches.
Lu Chi was still thinking about the sea salt croissant he ate that day. The last time he went to say that it was a new product that hadn't been released yet, he planned to try his luck today.
He left the small battery on the side of the road and opened the door to go in.
After wandering around the store, he didn't see which one he had eaten before, so he had no choice but to stop a waiter and ask, "Do you have sea salt croissants here?"
The waiter shook his head: "No sir, our signature red velvet box cake is very good, do you want to try it? Buy any two box cakes and get a 5 yuan discount..."
Lu Chi sighed when he heard it: "Didn't you say that the new product will be released soon? Why hasn't it been released yet..."
This sea salt croissant is almost becoming his obsession.
The waiters were stunned when they heard it. They didn't know what the so-called new products would be in the store. They only knew every time they went online and arrived. How did this person in front of him know?Where is he holy?
But the matter has come to this point, she can only say very sorry: "This is determined by the company, and we don't know the details."
A group of people in the company are also struggling right now.A group of people gathered around a table, and everyone was silent. Whether they can get off work on time today depends on the boss's reaction.
Everyone around was standing, only Xia Xingchuan was sitting. There was a row of milk tea in front of him. He tried one cup after another, but none of them satisfied him.
"This recipe is wrong. Didn't I order so much milk tea for you that day? See how other people's milk tea is made, and what do you make?" After drinking the last cup, he smacked for half a second, unable to bear it. He raised his hand and threw the paper cup out.
His temper was so sudden that everyone was unprepared and trembled in fright.
It was only now that Xia Xingchuan realized his gaffe just now, he couldn't help but raised his hand to wipe his face, and sighed: "Think about it again, we're here today."
After saying this, he returned to his office.The people around before didn't dare to act rashly for a while, and Xia Xingchuan's assistant sent everyone back to pack their things after seeing that it was almost done.
Xia Xingchuan returned to the office, sat down on the boss chair, leaned back, slumped on it in a very relaxed posture, closed his eyes and meditated, and began to deeply doubt whether it was the right choice for him to let them develop drinks.
He opened a dessert company, and he managed it fairly well. At least in the eyes of his parents, he wouldn't say that he was messing around outside.He spent all his time opening this dessert company based on his love for desserts.
Their main business is baked desserts. This time he wanted to try to develop some drinks, so he invited the team to drink a lot of milk tea that he thought was delicious, and learned from those shops that specialize in milk tea.
It's just that it's the first time to develop a drink after all, and the taste is really difficult to mix.Xia Xingchuan knew for a long time that he would run into a wall here, and now that he encountered a bottleneck and could not overcome these problems, he couldn't help thinking whether this decision was wrong from the beginning.
There was a knock on the office door, Xia Xingchuan opened his eyes: "Come in."
"Boss," his assistant, Qu Yan, pushed the door in. "They are going to work overtime and are ordering takeaway now. Do you want to come together?"
"No need," Xia Xingchuan thought of his mother saying that he would wait for him to go home for dinner today, so he stood up, "You guys order, and tell me when you order, I will treat this meal."
Lu Chi returned home, there was still a while before dinner.
I just went to SI's store before going home, and I couldn't help itching. Thinking of buying cakes two days ago, I opened the refrigerator happily, but found that there was no cake left for me. Shouting in the kitchen: "Mom - I've finished eating all my cakes! Why didn't I leave a single bite!"
Mom came out wearing an apron: "This afternoon, some of your aunts came over to rub mozzarella with mom, and I took them out to entertain them. They said it was delicious. Where did you buy it? I'll bring some back next time."
"When can you treat your partners to the milk tea in our shop?"
"Oh, what kind of milk tea do you guys have? Middle-aged and elderly people like us can't drink it," Lu's mother said, "Go and let Jianqing and the others go to Moments to advertise for you, okay?"
"Cut," Lu Chi pursed his lips, "That cake shop, next time there will be a new product, I'll bring it back for you. There is a sea salt croissant, it's delicious... ah."
He suddenly remembered something.
SI's new sea salt croissant, and Lecha's new sea salt cheese milk tea.
The two... as long as there is a connection...
Thinking of this, he quickly took out his mobile phone and called Han Jianqing: "Do you remember the restaurant owner you met that day?"
"Which one are you talking about?"
"On the day when Jiang Qi invited guests..." Lu Chi explained the situation, "Didn't you check his information that day? What is his background?"
The author has something to say: KOL: key opinion leader.A person who has the right to speak in a certain field.
Now it can be commonly understood as big V, Internet celebrity or something.

No. [-] Cup of Milk Tea
"What did you ask him for?" Han Jianqing did remember, but he was puzzled that Yu Luchi came to ask him about this on purpose, and turned on the computer at hand while asking back.
Lu Chi chuckled: "I knew that you, a data maniac, would usually collect all the information you investigate, so I came to ask you."
This Han Jianqing can be regarded as a mobile database. He loves to collect information. Generally speaking, anything he is interested in investigating will be stored in his brain... or in his computer.
Lu Chi sometimes thinks that it is a waste of talent for him to come back to inherit the family business, and he should really start his own investigation company.
"The 'everything' we ate that day was a high-end restaurant chain store. He said he was the owner of that store, so I searched from this point of entry," Han Jianqing looked at the information collected on the computer, slowly Slowly introduced to Lu Chi, "'Everything' belongs to Hangdi Catering Group, and there are various catering chains under the group. The chairman of the group is indeed named Xia, but it's not the one I met in the restaurant that day. The chairman is a A middle-aged man in his 50s. The above information is all information that anyone can easily look up on Baidu."
"Eh...?" Lu Chi recalled, "You mean... that Mr. Xia really lied to us that day?"
"If you were the one who looked up the information, you would have come to such a conclusion." Han Jianqing sneered and mocked him lightly.
"Hello!" Lu Chi was dissatisfied, "Please enter the topic."
"So I checked the information of the chairman of the group again, and this time it was rewarding." Han Jianqing chuckled and continued, "The chairman of the group does have a son, no photo, but the age is the same as We saw the same person that day, this person is not in the group, and we don’t know what industry he is in.”
"So you don't think it's possible that Mr. Xia is indeed the prince," Lu Chi thought, feeling that the possibility is still very high, "I do know that he opened a dessert company, which has indeed something to do with catering. Maybe it's really the young owner of some group."
"You provided a new idea." Han Jianqing was not very interested in this person at first, so he simply checked some information and gave up, but now Lu Chi was interested, "What is the name of his company?"
"I don't remember the name of the company," Lu Chi said, "but I know their dessert shop. The name is quite special. I went there today. It's called SweetIris."
"I seem to have a little impression of the name you mentioned..." Han Jianqing frowned, and said while typing in the search box, "A few days ago, a female colleague in our office celebrated her birthday, and the logistics side booked this place for her The birthday cake is delicious."
"Hey," Lu Chi was stunned, "You've eaten..."
He also thought of the cake that his mother and those aunts ate every bite of the cake before he had time to eat it, and he couldn't help feeling angry from his heart, and the evil turned to his guts... and so on.
He has eaten it himself, sea salt bread, which is still a new product that hasn't been released yet, and he immediately regained his balance when he thought about it.
When Han Jianqing heard Lu Chi's sad laughter suddenly came from the other end of the phone, he knew that Lu Chi was imagining something else.
But soon the search results came out, Han Jianqing took a look, and leaned back in the chair relaxedly: "Sure enough..."
"What, what?" Lu Chi immediately perked up when he heard him say that, "Did you find out?"
"SweetIris belongs to Daigo Catering Co., Ltd. The legal person of this company is the Mr. Xia we met. Here are the photos."
"Then is there any connection between this company and the previous group?"
"...It's hard to tell." Han Jianqing said, "There is no connection between the two companies' information, only the age matches."
Lu Chi pursed his lips: "Okay... probably this is the only way to find out. Thank you."
"You thank me before you tell me what you want to do." Han Jianqing rolled his eyes, but Lu Chi couldn't see it anyway, "Why did you come to me and ask these things?"
"I had a bold idea before," Lu Chi pondered for a moment, and decided to tell Han Jianqing about it, who said that Han Jianqing is his best buddy, "Am I thinking about it?" Find him to cooperate..."
"Cooperation?" Han Jianqing was stunned for a moment before he realized, "You mean your milk tea shop cooperates with them?"
"Yeah, our new products have some similarities with their new products. I'm thinking about cooperating with them? What's the reputation of their dessert shop?"
"It's not bad. The new brand that was only opened in the past two years is still doing well."
The more Lu Chi listened, the more active his mind became: "Then
