Chapter 402 - 401: Peculiar Customers

After finding a table and sitting down, the two girls realized there were quite a few other people in the shop.

And upon closer inspection, they were all handsome men and beautiful women.

The two girls’ eyes immediately lit up. ’What kind of divine luck is this? We’re so fortunate to run into something like this today.’

When the server brought them their Baonu Tea, they couldn’t help but peek at the other customers.

Fortunately, their gazes were purely appreciative and didn’t make anyone uncomfortable.

The two of them looked at the Baonu Tea on their table. They each took a tentative sip, and their eyes lit up.

"This is actually pretty good, huh?"

Just as they started drinking, more people came into the shop.

"Boss Qin, is there a promotion today?"

The poster at the entrance was very eye-catching, and the regular customer noticed it immediately. He walked in and asked Qin Sitong about it, then nodded at Yun Zijin when he saw her.

"That’s right. It’s an event special. The original price is 198, but today it’s just 98. It won’t be available tomorrow."

Qin Sitong described the Baonu Tea once more.

When the man heard it was even more expensive than the Wangyou Milk Tea, his brow furrowed slightly.

But when he heard Qin Sitong say it was a limited-time special that would be gone after today, he felt like trying it.

"98 is too expensive. Come on, I’m a regular. How about you give it to me for the same price as the Wangyou Milk Tea, and I’ll get one?"

This customer was a man who came in quite often, so Qin Sitong knew he wasn’t lying about being a regular. However, she would never agree to his proposal to sell him Baonu Tea at the price of Wangyou Milk Tea.

’If the two customers who came in earlier heard that, how would they feel? And if word got out, we might as well close up shop.’

"I’m sorry, that’s already the discounted promotional price. We can’t go any lower."

Qin Sitong kept a smile on her face as she did her best to explain.

"Come on, it’s just a ten-yuan difference. We go way back, don’t be so stingy."

As he spoke, the man reached out to touch Qin Sitong’s hand on the counter.

Qin Sitong instinctively took a step back.

"What kind of attitude is that? If you weren’t so pretty, you think I’d bother coming to this dump every day?"

Qin Sitong was completely bewildered. ’I’m not forcing him to come here.’

’Besides, our prices are clearly listed. If he thinks it’s too expensive, he can go to a cheaper milk tea shop. What is there to complain about?’

"If you’re here for milk tea, you’re more than welcome. But if you’re after something else, you should give up that idea right now."

Qin Sitong couldn’t believe she’d run into such a creep in her own shop.

"You!"

"Didn’t you hear her? If you don’t want milk tea, then get the hell out!"

Fu Ze hadn’t expected to find such a scumbag among the customers at the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop.

The thought that Qin Sitong might have to deal with creeps like this every day made Fu Ze’s stomach churn. More than that, though, his heart ached for her.

Finally, unable to hold back any longer, he stepped forward, grabbed the man by the collar, and started to throw him out.

"Who the hell are you! I’m the customer! The customer is always right, don’t you get it?!"

"The customer is always right? Bullshit! With a creep like you, it’s a testament to her self-control that she didn’t just punch you!"

Fu Ze threw the man right out of the milk tea shop, but Qin Sitong didn’t look pleased.

Fu Ze’s tough expression immediately faltered. "Uh..."

Qin Sitong opened her mouth to speak but ultimately said nothing.

’After all, he only threw the man out because he couldn’t stand the creep and wanted to stand up for me. I can’t be ungrateful.’

’But I’m also worried. If someone with bad intentions filmed that, the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop’s reputation would be difficult to salvage.’

"It’s fine. Go on back to your seat."

"Don’t worry. If any nasty rumors start spreading about the shop because of this, I’ll take care of it."

Of course, Fu Ze wouldn’t let his actions become ammunition for others to attack the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop.

"You don’t need to worry too much. The shop has security cameras. If any nasty rumors do get out, we’ll have evidence to prove our innocence."

After the creep was thrown out, a few more customers came in. People kept asking about the Baonu Tea, but many were put off by the price and declined.

After all, the Wangyou Milk Tea at least had its worry-forgetting effect, whereas the Baonu Tea’s promise to make you slim and beautiful wasn’t something that could work instantly.

That left "tasty" as its only selling point, and at 98 yuan a cup, that was clearly too expensive if it was only tasty.

Qin Sitong silently mulled over potential strategies.

"I saw the poster says drinking this can make you lose weight?"

Just then, a very plump customer walked into the shop.

Qin Sitong saw her figure and completely understood why she would be interested in the slimming effect.

"It does have that effect if you drink it long-term. However... it’s only available for today’s event. It won’t be here tomorrow."

Qin Sitong knew how important the promise of slimming down was, but she couldn’t lie just to sell the Baonu Tea.

"See? I told you. It’s just another one of these shady, unlicensed shops trying to scam you."

Beside the plump girl was another young woman with a well-proportioned figure. From her clothes to her makeup, she was exquisitely put together, and she had her arm linked with the plump girl’s.

"Excuse me, our shop has a legal business license. We are not an ’unlicensed’ operation.

Furthermore, all of our milk teas are clearly priced. If you find them too expensive, you are free not to buy them. We are not forcing a sale on anyone.

If you insist on slandering us, you can wait for a letter from our lawyer and a court summons."

For the sake of business, Qin Sitong rarely let her composure break, even when dealing with the strangest customers.

But Yun Zijin couldn’t tolerate it and stepped forward to clap back.

"You! Am I wrong? Your poster says it makes you slim and beautiful, but as soon as we ask, you say it requires long-term use. If that’s not a scam, what is?"

"Oh, well I’m so sorry to disappoint you, but we don’t even offer it for long-term sale.

The Baonu Tea is limited to today’s event. After today, the shop will temporarily not be selling the Slimming Beauty Goddess Tea to the public."

’Still,’ Yun Zijin thought, ’anyone who buys Baonu Tea today will definitely want to buy a second cup.’

’Unfortunately... I still haven’t figured out how to solve the raw material problem.’

"So if I only drink one cup, it won’t have any effect?"

The plump girl looked at Yun Zijin.

"You can drink one cup and see what happens. If you think it works, you can follow our shop’s official Weibo account for updates."

’This girl seems nice,’ Yun Zijin thought. ’She just has terrible taste in friends.’

’Her ’exquisite’ friend is obviously just using her as a foil to make herself look better.’

’Now that the girl is interested in the Baonu Tea, the friend is trying everything to stop her from buying it.’

The plump girl’s eyes lit up. 98 yuan was nothing to her, so she happily placed her order and paid.

"I’ll take one!"

The plump girl showed the payment confirmation screen to Yun Zijin.

"Hey! Didn’t I just tell you it’s a scam and won’t work? Why won’t you listen to me?

I’m just looking out for you! If you don’t trust me, then we can just stop being friends!"

With that, the exquisite girl dropped the plump girl’s arm.

Yun Zijin watched the "exquisite" girl’s performance and rolled her eyes internally.
