The Goddess is a Little Pitiful, I Invested in Her!

After lunch, Wang Shang went to Qi Yun’s house.

“Li Du’s parents left?”

“Yes, did you tell them my address?”

Wang Shang scratched his head. “They all wanted to thank you, and I thought it wasn’t a bad thing.”

Qi Yun sighed, “Let’s not do that in the future. We’re classmates. There’s no need to be so formal.”

Wang Shang nodded, “We also helped to promote your milk tea shop!”

“Oh?”

Qi Yun had a bad feeling in his heart.

“How did you promote it?”

“You don’t know? We, the classmates, decided to drink milk tea from your shop, and our exam performance was outstanding!” Wang Shang explained.

“… How did you come up with that?”

“Actually, we didn’t plan it. After this exam, many people asked us why our grades improved so quickly. We got tired of being asked. Mr. Xu didn’t allow us to say that you taught us.”

Qi Yun giving lectures to a class of students was kept completely confidential by Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu had explained to Qi Yun long ago that if news got out, it would be troublesome for Qi Yun.

What if the principal wanted Qi Yun to give lectures to all the students in the school?

Knowing Mr. Xu’s understanding of the principal, it was quite possible.

After all, for the principal, the progress of one class was nothing compared to having good results throughout the entire school.

Moreover, as a prestigious high school, some parents of students at Yizhong had many backgrounds.

What if those important figures wanted Qi Yun to give private lessons to their children?

Refusing was certainly an option, but it would still be troublesome for Qi Yun.

Teacher Xu believed that Qi Yun was still a child and might not be aware of these issues.

But as a teacher, Teacher Xu wanted to protect his students as much as possible, especially after the outstanding performance of Class this time.

Teacher Xu emphasized to the class that it would be best not to spread the word about Qi Yun giving extra lessons, at least not before the college entrance examination.

Let Qi Yun give the exam with peace of mind before discussing anything further.

Qi Yun understood Teacher Xu’s intentions. He wasn’t afraid of trouble but wouldn’t go against Teacher Xu’s good intentions either.

But who could have imagined that his classmates would come up with such an excuse?

“And then we thought, why not boost your business by saying we’ve been drinking your milk tea for a long time?”

“And they believed it?”

Qi Yun’s tone was complicated.

If the students at Yizhong were really this gullible, he became inexplicably pessimistic about the future of Yizhong.

“At first, they didn’t believe it… but after we started saying it, many people started to believe.”

Qi Yun: “…”

I didn’t expect this kind of operation.

However, such an absurd rumor probably wouldn’t be believed by many… right?

……

“Qi Yun, come to the shop quickly!” Qi Yun received an urgent message from Lian Qingxue on his phone.

He thought something had happened and quickly put on his shoes and rushed towards the milk tea shop.

As soon as Qi Yun saw the signboard of the milk tea shop, his eyes widened.

Why were there so many people?

All the chairs in the shop were already occupied, and there was even a queue in front of the ordering counter. The line extended outside the door.

He hurriedly entered the shop, but everyone inside, including Lian Qingxue, was too busy to notice him.

Lian Qingxue was even working feverishly without noticing his arrival.

Even Lian Qingxue was also serving as a temporary waitress and didn’t notice his arrival.

Seeing the shop so busy, Qi Yun quickly went forward to help. He took a tray from Xiao Yue’s hand and placed it on a small round table. Next to the round table were several students.

“The milk tea is here!”

One of the boys looked at the milk tea brought by Qi Yun with shining eyes as if he had seen a treasure.

“Drinking milk tea, can we do well in this exam?” A girl looked puzzled.

“Don’t worry, I asked my brother, who is in his third year of high school, and he said it’s the milk tea from this shop. You know Class One in our school, right? They all drank the milk tea from this shop, and the results were amazing in the city-wide exam!”

Qi Yun: ???

Did someone believe it?

Qi Yun carefully observed the customers in the shop.

Indeed, most of the customers who seemed to be visiting for the first time today were students.

Some were from his school, but there were also students from other schools. For example, the couple who just came in were from another school.

And most of these new customers had heard a peculiar rumor – drinking the milk tea from this shop would help them perform well in exams!

And the rumor was very specific.

It said that in Class One of their school, the entire class drank the milk tea from this shop, and as a result, they felt highly clear-headed and performed exceptionally well in the recent city-wide exam.

Qi Yun even saw a person wearing the uniform of his school saying, “The students from Class One said it themselves!”

Qi Yun: “…”

This is bad. These young people’s minds didn’t work well. There was no hope!

Qi Yun also understood. It was sure that not many people would truly believe it, but it was just a cup of milk tea, so why not give it a try?

And many people were influenced by their friends buying milk tea and thought they might as well buy a cup too.

It’s like some marketing techniques in the future, like “The first cup of milk tea in autumn.”

What does autumn have to do with milk tea?

But it became popular!

People were buying it everywhere.

It just shows that human nature is to follow trends.

……

The clever operation by Class One kept the staff of the milk tea shop busy from morning till evening.

When it was time to close the shop, everyone collapsed in their chairs, unable to move.

Xiao Yue even opened her mouth, with her tongue hanging out, breathing like a little puppy.

“We earned 10,800 Yuan today!”

We’re tired, but we made a lot of money today!

It was nearly double compared to previous days.

After all, not only students from their school came, but also students from other schools.

Qi Yun took the account book from Lian Qingxue’s hand and was surprised to find that although the shop had only been open for a little over a month, after deducting the shop’s opening cost, the total profit was already positive!

Especially in the past week, business has been improving day by day.

In this little over a month, the shop had made over 20,000 yuan in net profit!

Holding the account book, he suddenly spoke to Xiao Yue and the others.

“Everyone, you’ve worked hard this month! I just looked at the accounts and realized that we made a profit today and have been profitable this entire month!

As a new shop, you all did your best!” He was just praising casually.

The biggest contributors to the profitability were these employees. Their service attitude has retained many customers and turned them into repeat customers.

Xiao Yue and the others smiled, showing a bit of exhaustion.

After all, their hard work had paid off.

“So, I’ve decided to distribute the profits from this month as bonuses to everyone!”

All the staff: ???

Qi Yun is such a generous boss.

Qi Yun said generously, “All the waiters will receive a 1,000 yuan bonus! Xiao Yue, Lin Lin, you serve the customers and manage the staff, so each of you will receive 3,000 yuan!”

“Lian Qingxue, you have worked the hardest, so I’ve decided to give you a 5,000 yuan bonus!”

“Congratulations, Host, for successfully investing in Lian Qingxue and receiving a rebate of 50,000 yuan!”

Qi Yun wore a satisfied smile.

With this move, the 20,000 yuan turned into 50,000 yuan.
