Before Ye Qiao entered the dormitory, she smelled a strong smell of instant noodles. She walked to the door and knocked on the door. âHurry, hurry, hurry! The housekeeper lady is here!â
With her roar, the girls who were playing poker in the dormitory were so scared that they were about to hide all kinds of electrical appliances.
At that moment, the door was already opened. Besides their Grandpa Qiao, there was no housekeeper at the door!
âF*ck! Master Qiao, are you trying to scare me to death?! Iâm so hot that I could boil hot water!â
âMy small rice cooker is cooking instant noodles!â
Ye Qiao, who was holding a bag of apples, stood at the door and looked at the rubbish on the ground. She couldnât even step in. âThis is a girlsâ dormitory?! Look at all of you! Youâre all so depraved!â
There were quite a few plugs on a tow board. There were three of them using light and heat. There was also a small rice cooker. Was this weird housekeeper complaining?!
Looking at those harem members, who were playing poker again, Ouyang was left with only three losses. It was time to order! An Xin wasnât any better either. She was wearing a sling!
âItâs the weekend. Thereâs nowhere to play!â
âMaster Qiao, wash an apple for me. I havenât eaten all day!â
âMaster Qiao, break an egg and a ham sausage in my instant noodles. Theyâre all in my cabinet!â
Boom!
âWhy donât you all go to heaven?!â Ye Qiao was so angry that she was about to die. âStop playing! We have something important to discuss today! Iâll give you one minute to clean the floor! Give me a place to step!â
She was practically yelling!
The six girls finally stopped acting rashly. They threw away the cards in unison, put on their clothes, and immediately cleaned up.
Not long after, seven people sat at the table, while Ye Qiao, under the gazes of the other six gluttonous women, took big mouthfuls of instant noodles.
âYou all heard what the form teacher said. When our marketing class graduates in the future, we wonât be able to produce decent graduation work, so we wonât be able to graduate!
âI plan to open a shop. I can make money, and when I graduate, I can speak with actual results! Tell me, what kind of shop do you want to open?â Ye Qiao said as she ate.
âYe Qiao, Letâs open a small shop in the row of shops downstairs of the dormitory. Weâll sell instant noodles, drinks, mineral water...â
âAnd melon seeds and eight treasure porridge!â Ye Qiao rolled her eyes at Ouyang, talking about the train crew pushing carts to sell goods.
âYes, yes, yes!â Ouyang said quickly.
âYes, my ass!â Ye Qiao said, in a bad mood. As she spoke, she took out her own plan.
âHow much money can a small shop earn? Besides, donât we have a few small shops downstairs? Did all your marketing studies go to waste?!â Ye Qiao said again.
âYe Qiao, we didnât fail. Only you failed...â An Xinâs voice became softer and softer.
The others all laughed, and Ye Qiaoâs face darkened. âDidnât I get nearly full marks in the make-up exam?! Are you blind? An Xin, you little thing, how dare you come after me? Do you want to die?!â Ye Qiao knocked An Xinâs head with her chopsticks!
âSeriously, Iâm going to open a milk tea shop!â Ye Qiao said seriously and took another big bite of instant noodles.
The back door of J University was surrounded by small shops on the side of the road. After the road was the dormitory area, where the flow of students was very high. Every day after school or on weekends, many students shopped. Ye Qiao applied to the school and rented a shop exclusively for part-time students.

The rent was halved for non-student tenants, and it was also a kind of support for the schoolâs students to start their own business.
They did not have much homework this semester. Once they were free, a few girls would come to the store to help out. Currently, the renovation progress was nearing its end. Ye Qiao drew a sketch of the renovation style based on her memory and asked the renovation workers to do it. She often came to the store to supervise the workers; she also often went to the furniture city to pick out the bar, tables, chairs, and so on.
She wanted to renovate a milk tea shop that had a very stylish and tasteful style, and also had to have a literary atmosphere.
The most important thing was still the product.
In order to make delicious milk tea, she had experimented at home countless times before it was successfully concocted.
She used authentic milk, tea leaves, and white sugar instead of the usual market milk essence, spices, and sugars. This also increased the cost and affected the pricing. During the trial period, she would adjust the price according to the sales situation.
Of course, natural health was also a selling point!
Marketing... There was always a strategy.

âYo, isnât that Ye Qiao from the marketing class? She owns this shop?â In the clothing store next door, a beautiful girl said to another girl who was wearing lipstick.
âYe Qiao? Who is that?â Dong Xian said with a disdainful tone.
âDong Xian, are you kidding me? You donât know Ye Qiao? Tao Chengqi confessed to her during military training!â
Dong Xian was stunned, then she immediately left the store.
âMaster, the right side of the door is a little high! Yes, this is great!â Ye Qiao, who was wearing a black-T and a cap, raised her head and commanded the master who had installed the billboard on the door.
âHer? Sheâs very ordinary! Why would Tao Chengqi like her?â Dong Xian crossed her arms in front of her chest and said in disgust. She did not see Ye Qiaoâs face.
âItâs true! He confessed during military training and was caught by the instructor! This Ye Qiao is quite popular. Both boys and girls can get along with her!â The one who spoke was Zheng Xiang. They were all students from the art academy next door.
âTamen... Hehe...â Dong Xian looked at the billboard and said disdainfully, then turned around.
âSpeaking of this shop, Iâm still angry! I originally rented this shop. Later, my uncle said that some students wanted to rent it. He was afraid that the school would find out that he rented two shops for me, so he asked me to move it at the last minute!â Dong Xian returned to the shop and said angrily.
âI was wondering why your two shops became one. So thatâs how it is! This Ye Qiao also has a background, right? Otherwise, how could she steal your shop!â Zheng Xiang added oil to the fire.
Dong Xian was also a strong and proud person!
Thinking that Tao Chengqi liked Ye Qiao and that she had taken another shop away from her, she became hostile toward Ye Qiao. She could not help but feel angry!
âLetâs see what they can sell milk tea for. The businesses in the west are so poor!â Dong Xian said mockingly.
âI think so too! Besides, this kind of thing is made of milk essence and pigment. Itâs not healthy!â Zheng Xiang echoed.
It was December, and it was winter in J City. The milk tea shop was also open for business on Christmas Eve.
âHahaha! Itâs been half a day! They really donât have any customers!â When Zheng Xiang came to look for Dong Xian, she was so happy as soon as she entered the shop.
She was wearing a leather short skirt. Dong Xian, who was shivering in her pantyhose and boots, was extremely happy when she heard what Zheng Xiang said. âLetâs go and take a look!â
âMaster Qiao, why isnât anyone here on the first day of business? Sob...â Ouyang, who was standing at the cashier counter, said in a panic. The entrance of their shop could really be described as deserted!
