122: Chapter 122 (Completed) Absolutely! This job is exhausting!

An Ke ordered takeout and some beer.

The few of them drank a bit too much.

An Ke had drunk three bottles of beer, but her expression remained unchanged, still carrying a faint smile.

Qin Xun wanted to drink more because he had stayed in the hotel all day, and his slacking-off value hadn't increased much.

Xia Ning felt uncertain about tomorrow's opening, thinking that if she wasted her father's 10 million, she would definitely be mocked.

She would even be subjected to sarcastic remarks from her uncles and aunts during the year-end family gathering.

She drank a bottle of beer, but unfortunately, her alcohol tolerance was too low, and her face turned into a cherry.

She even started acting drunk.

"Qin Xun, I really... can't afford to lose!"

"My father... won't give me any more chances!"

It was the first time Qin Xun had seen Xia Ning drunk; he inwardly despised her low alcohol tolerance, thinking that even if she sat at a table with children, she would be looked down upon.

Hearing what she said, he thought of his own father—who drank, street-raced, fought, urinated in public, and kept a mistress—and who had lost the management rights to Dudu Tea.

He couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for Xia Ning.

He said loudly.

"Xiao Xia, don't worry!"

"I will definitely hand Dudu Tea over to you safely and securely!"

An Ke was startled.

"!!!"

Could it be that Qin Xun knew she was Chairman Xia's daughter?

Xia Ning's expression remained cold, yet she smiled a bit foolishly.

"Aren't you going to respect me like a mother?"

She opened her arms towards Qin Xun.

"Come here!"

"Give Mommy a hug!"

An Ke: "???"

Does Qin Xun have an Oedipus complex?

Does An Ke have a mothering complex?

They are quite a match!

Qin Xun was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at An Ke, shook his head, and whispered.

"She can't hold her liquor. Next time, let her sit at the table with... the dog."

Suddenly! Qin Xun felt his hair being grabbed!

He looked up, and sure enough, it was that damn Xia Ning again.

"Qin Xun, I heard that!"

...The night passed. In his sleep.

Qin Xun dreamed he was using the bathroom when suddenly, a ground-shaking thudding sound echoed outside the door. He turned to look and saw two dinosaurs roaring.

He was startled awake.

He heard the door being knocked on with a "thump, thump" sound.

The voices of Xia Ning and An Ke came through.

"Qin Xun! Get up!"

"Mr. Qin? Mr. Qin, we need to be earlier today!"

"Qin Xun?"

"Mr. Qin? Mr. Qin? If you don't get up, I'm going to call a locksmith!"

"Qin Xun, today you are representing Oak Company to give the opening speech."

"Get up quickly!"

Qin Xun, with a groggy head, checked the time; it was only 6:30, and he almost shed tears of grievance.

The grand reopening ceremony was chosen to be held at the Jinshi Plaza commercial street in Flower City.

Today is Saturday, and the foot traffic is exceptionally high.

10:00 AM. Qin Xun was mixed in among the management staff of the Dudu Tea Lingnan subsidiary, his face showing signs of exhaustion.

The opening ceremony wasn't until 10:30. He had been standing here like a punishment for two hours early!

How could there be such a hard job in the world?

He looked around and saw that this Dudu Tea shop was at the corner of the commercial street, with a large square outside the entrance.

It was very suitable for holding events; the open space in front was large enough that it wouldn't cause widespread crowding.

A red banner hung under the storefront, reading [Dudu Tea 50-Store Grand Reopening Ceremony].

A red carpet was laid at the entrance, and flower baskets were placed on both sides.

He turned his head again and saw Xia Ning in a ponytail, already changed into the red work uniform of Dudu Tea and a black baseball cap.

She was fresh, pretty, and lovely. In the sunlight, her skin was glowing white.

For a moment, he was dumbfounded.

But he saw Xia Ning look over coldly and say indifferently.

"Turn your head away."

Qin Xun had no choice but to turn his head, sighing.

It was clearly Xia Ning who had strongly demanded a few days ago to make her presence felt at the Dudu Tea opening ceremony and to increase the branding of Oak Company.

That was why she had made him give the opening speech.

This made Qin Xun feel that his workload had increased significantly, and he didn't want to make things easy for Xia Ning, so he required her to act as a bubble tea girl for a while.

The first cup of milk tea had to be made by her.

Unexpectedly, she actually agreed!

Sigh... what a woman who loves to make her presence felt!

The time was getting closer. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd.

Qin Xun looked over and saw Qian Yunfa, bringing Sun Hua and a few others, walking over with a smile on his face.

"I'm late, I'm late!"

An Ke hurried forward a few steps to meet them.

"Mr. Qian, you came?"

She was a bit surprised.

A few days ago, when she asked Qian Yunfa to come down as the general manager to preside over the opening ceremony, he had politely declined, saying he had an important meeting.

Unexpectedly, he had still come.

Qian Yunfa secretly glanced at Xia Ning, then walked straight to Qin Xun and shook his hand.

"Mr. Qin, thank you for your hard work!"

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Qin Xun thought about how he had stayed in the hotel for the past few days, barely going out, and was feeling stifled.

He had been woken up at 6:30 today and was sleepy.

He sighed.

"Isn't that the truth?"

"It really exhausted me!"

An Ke: "???"

Xia Ning: "..."

Qian Yunfa patted Qin Xun's arm.

"I will host a banquet for you tonight to celebrate our success!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The people accompanying them also laughed.

After the laughter died down, Qian Yunfa suddenly looked at An Ke and said with a smile.

"Xiao An, shall we do one last confirmation of the work?"

An Ke nodded and reported directly.

"Okay! Mr. Qian!"

"For the 50 stores, the milk tea ingredients and cups have been prepared at 10 times the usual volume!"

"The shift schedules for all store personnel have been confirmed, with everyone working morning to mid-shifts."

"The store cash registers, internet, speakers, and promotional flyers have all been confirmed and are ready."

"100 Snow King dolls have been delivered to the stores, and 100 student part-timers have also arrived at the stores."

"The song 'Dudu Tea Sweetness' has been distributed to every store, and once it hits 10 o'clock, it will be played on a loop in all stores."

"..."

Qian Yunfa nodded gently.

An Ke reported very professionally, her expression serious, showing no signs of exhaustion.

But only she knew how tired she had been these past few days.

After thinking about it these past few days, she had confirmed that this was Qian Yunfa's way of beating her, the little spy, into shape.

He had deliberately removed his confidant, Li Honghai, and put her in charge, making her bear the risk of failure for the brand upgrade and reform.

Because anyone who wasn't an idiot could see it. This plan of Qin Xun's... is shaky!

However, no matter how bitter, difficult, or tiring it was, she had to bite the bullet and go for it.

After all, what else can a child without an umbrella do but run hard?

If you fall, you just get up and keep running! You won't die from falling!

Time passed minute by minute.

The flow of people on the commercial street increased, and gradually many people were attracted by this display, or by the promotional flyers.

They stopped to watch the excitement. Gradually, nearly a hundred people had gathered!

Suddenly, a large group of people walked in from the entrance, one by one dressed brightly and beautifully, or in strange costumes.

Some looked very good-looking, and some looked very abstract!

Suddenly! A bystander exclaimed.

"Ah! Is that the big internet celebrity 'Mi Xier'?"

"Huh? There's also an internet celebrity here, the funny singing blogger 'A Da Bu Liu Gentleman'?"

"Quick! Look here!"

"Xiao Ying Doll! Xiao Ying Doll! The leg-shaking goddess Xiao Ying Doll!"

"And the Eating God, Young Master Riding a Bull, White Bone Spirit, Love Your Mom for Ten Thousand Years..."

"My God!"

"What's going on?"

"Why did a bunch of internet celebrities suddenly pop up here?"

"Could it be because this tacky little shop is opening?"

People gathered more and more. There were almost two or three hundred people.

Qin Xun looked over and saw a group of internet celebrities peeking over, and after meeting his gaze, they all waved enthusiastically.

Suddenly, he noticed a resentful gaze.

He saw Song Ying pouting slightly, glancing at him, snorting coldly, and turning her head away again.

Qin Xun felt a bit awkward and helpless.

Because Xia Ning had reminded him in the morning.

"Qin Xun, be careful not to get caught by Song Ying today!"

"Why?"

"She arrived in Lingnan yesterday and asked to stay in the same hotel as you to catch up. I replied that Qin Xun found you noisy and refused."

"???"

More and more people arrived. Qin Xun was so hot he was about to explode. 10:30 had finally, damn it, arrived!
