Looking at the text message Ye Wan had sent him, a smile couldn't help but tug at the corners of Jiang Cheng's mouth, and he gently shook his head at the same time.
Jiang Cheng could imagine that with Ye Wan's introverted and shy personality, even sending a message required a great deal of courage.
Let alone sending three messages like this.
She must have spent a long time holding her phone, repeatedly deliberating and agonizing over it before finally making up her mind to press the send button.
One had to know that the daily turnover of their Simple Tea was usually only a mere five thousand yuan.
Yet today, it had actually reached fifty thousand in one go.
Such a massive disparity was enough to show how staggering the customer traffic was today.
If this turnover were compared to a brand that was equally popular, like Xi Tea...
It would definitely be less than theirs.
After all, the price difference was right there.
Let's assume the price of their milk tea is 15 to 30 yuan; to reach a turnover of fifty thousand, they would need to sell at least 2,500 to 3,000 cups a day.
However, the cheapest price for the Simple Tea Jiang Cheng made was only six yuan, though there were also options for 12 and 15 yuan.
In terms of price, to reach a turnover of fifty thousand yuan...
The number of orders from their store was already half as much again compared to Xi Tea.
But a mere fifty thousand yuan didn't bother Jiang Cheng at all.
He guessed that this Little Mute thought he would be very happy, which was why she plucked up the courage to message him.
After reading it, Jiang Cheng replied.
Jiang Cheng: "Happy New Year."
Jiang Cheng: "You all worked hard."
Jiang Cheng: "Transferred 5,000."
Seeing that the Little Mute didn't reply, Jiang Cheng added another sentence.
Jiang Cheng: "Accept it and share it with the whole staff. You've all worked hard."
In fact, Ye Wan had already seen it when Jiang Cheng sent it.
Just as Jiang Cheng thought, business at the milk tea shop was exceptionally booming today, with the number of orders being a full ten times higher than usual.
The few of them had indeed worked themselves to the bone.
Although it wasn't in the central district, because it was Food Street and there was scenery from the nearby University City, there was still quite a bit of foot traffic even during the Spring Festival.
Furthermore, delivery orders had increased several times over.
It was already past eight in the evening, and she had only just finished work and started eating.
At this moment, Ye Wan was living in the staff dormitory Jiang Cheng had arranged for her.
Speaking of the staff dormitory, she had previously thought it would be similar to a university dorm, with several people squeezed into one room.
However, when she moved in during the break, she discovered it wasn't like that at all.
What Jiang Cheng had rented for her was actually a studio apartment.
This studio was not only spacious but also fully equipped with its own kitchen and bathroom, and even a separate balcony.
Whereas her own home, her original home, was a mud house built by her parents' own hands.
Not just the floor, but even the walls were just simply piled red bricks, without any basic renovation at all.
It was completely a shell of a house.
Right now, Ye Wan sat at the dining table in her room, eating the staff meal Yang Fan had arranged for her while staring intently at the transfer information on her phone screen.
Today, she had worked for twelve hours straight. She had originally planned to continue working overtime to earn more money.
However, Yang Fan had firmly disagreed, insisting that she go home and rest.
Ye Wan felt a bit helpless, but she also understood that this was company policy.
Today's wage was five yuan more than usual, plus a triple-pay bonus.
So her income for today was as high as 828 yuan! To her, this was already a very considerable sum.
And now Jiang Cheng had sent her a five-thousand-yuan red envelope.
Then...
Ye Wan silently did the math.
If calculated based on the eight people on shift today...
And everyone received a five-thousand-yuan red envelope.
Then wouldn't Jiang Cheng, the boss, be working for nothing and not making any money at all?
Looking at this five thousand plus yuan, ripples couldn't help but form in Ye Wan's heart.
To her, this sum of money was undoubtedly a small fortune that could solve many of life's difficulties.
However, after a bit of internal struggle, Ye Wan finally gritted her teeth and silently clicked the back button.
Ye Wan: "Thank you, but there's no need."
Jiang Cheng looked at the five thousand yuan Ye Wan had returned, feeling a bit helpless.
His understanding of Ye Wan told him that she was a very stubborn person; once she decided on something, it was hard to change.
Regarding Ye Wan, Jiang Cheng did indeed feel a bit conflicted.
He didn't know exactly what kind of emotion he felt for her.
However, Jiang Cheng did not continue to transfer money to Ye Wan.
With her stubborn personality, even if he sent more money, she would absolutely not accept it.
After closing the chat window with Ye Wan, Jiang Cheng opened a special group chat.
This group chat had actually been created by Si Qing, who had pulled him in. There were only three people in the group: Si Nian, Si Qing, and himself.
So, what did this mean??
Did this Girl mean she didn't want to hide things anymore and wanted to make everything transparent for the year?
Si Nian: "Happy New Year~~"
Si Qing: "Positive Energy Big Boss, Happy New Year~"
Si Qing: [Image]
Si Nian: "Our whole family is watching the anti-fraud videos your company made."
Si Qing: "My mom even said that this company is very novel, using this way to advertise—positive energy."
Jiang Cheng: "Cough, cough, it can't be helped. I'm all about Great Love."
Si Nian: "Is it that you have quite a lot of love??"
Si Qing: "I heard that people with a lot of love tend to be quite busy??"
Looking at Si Nian's reply, Jiang Cheng immediately raised an eyebrow.
Something was wrong; this question felt full of hidden daggers.
If it were a private reply, Jiang Cheng might have replied that he had a lot, but his love was very focused.
Unfortunately, Si Qing was also here.
Just yesterday, during the New Year's Eve vigil at midnight, Si Qing had specifically asked Jiang Cheng if the Happy New Year message he sent her was also sent to Si Nian.
At that time, Jiang Cheng's reply was: "If I said I sent it to you first, would you believe me?"
Now that he was in the group, if he replied like that, he would clearly crash and burn.
When unable to answer, Jiang Cheng decided to adopt a Tai Chi approach to handle it.
Jiang Cheng unhurriedly typed out a line: "Sigh, it can't be helped. Who told my ideological awareness to be so high~"
Immediately after, he quickly added another sentence: "With great power comes a lot of annoying shit~"
Si Qing: "It seems being a Positive Energy Big Boss isn't easy~~"
Si Qing: [Image]
Si Qing sent a photo of herself with Si Nian.
In the photo, both of them were wearing festive red sweaters.
Si Qing: "Big Boss, look at us two and tell us who looks better today??"
Si Nian: "Can you tell the difference??"
Great, another trap question.
So, the two Girls didn't build this group just to deliberately see how he would crash and burn, did they??
If Jiang Cheng wanted to guess, he would definitely be 100% correct.
But again, how could there be double the happiness if he guessed correctly??
Jiang Cheng: "Only children make choices; adults will only say both look good."
Seeing Jiang Cheng's answer, Si Nian and Si Qing on the other side of the screen looked at each other.
Si Qing said to Si Nian, "Do you think he really can't tell the difference, or is he pretending?"
Si Nian shook her head. "I can't tell. But look at Mom and Dad; they even mistook me for you this morning. It really is hard to tell us apart."
Si Nian's words convinced Si Qing once again.
She glanced at the small mirror on the desk.
She nodded in agreement. "Yes, we really are identical. If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, I'm afraid few people could tell us apart in a second. But the Big Boss's reply is very aggressive."
Si Nian agreed and said with a coy pout, "I think so too. Bad man."
Si Nian: Humph humph~
Si Qing: Humph humph~ You can't even tell Si Nian apart. Brother-in-law, you're not qualified.
Jiang Cheng sent a shrugging emoji.
Jiang Cheng: "What can I do?? I'm also very desperate, okay?"
After saying that, Jiang Cheng switched to Si Nian's and Si Qing's private pages and started sending red envelopes to all the Girls.
Jiang Cheng transferred 66,666 yuan red envelopes to Si Nian and Si Qing respectively.
After all, his relationship with the two of them had only reached this point.
Sending them 5,201,314 right now was clearly not quite appropriate.
Even though it wasn't 5,201,314...
The 66,666 yuan red envelopes still left both Si Nian and Si Qing stunned.
Looking at this transfer red envelope...
After Si Nian and Si Qing exchanged a look, they both silently placed their screens showing the transfer acceptance page in front of each other.
The two of them were very much in sync.
What they showed was just the amount after clicking in, not the usual chat content with Jiang Cheng.
Although they had a very good relationship...
They had never shared the records of their private chats with Jiang Cheng with each other.
Looking at the two red envelopes with the same amount...
The two of them silently widened their eyes.
"This..."
Seeing Si Nian hesitate to speak, Si Qing's face turned slightly red as she took over, "I feel like his ambition is immense..."
Looking at Si Qing's slightly red earlobes, Si Nian silently nodded.
Immediately after, she was the first to accept Jiang Cheng's transfer.
Si Nian: "Thank you, darling~"
Seeing that Si Nian had clicked the transfer, Si Qing also followed suit and accepted Jiang Cheng's transfer.
Si Qing: "Thank you, darling."
Seeing that even the two Girls' replies were the same, the corner of Jiang Cheng's mouth couldn't help but curl up.
In any case, the Danger Perception Skill hadn't given a single hint.
