Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat -
Chapter 152 - 152 149 So Much Drama
Chapter 152: Chapter 149 So Much Drama Chapter 152: Chapter 149 So Much Drama Qiao Yuning also knew that some people just have a natural talent for certain things, and there’s no reasoning behind it.
Therefore, when Jiang Yan mentioned that Yang Dan had quite a knack for creating beverages, she didn’t doubt him.
And naturally, she accepted Jiang Yan’s suggestion to let Yang Dan become the drink development specialist in her milk tea shop, responsible for the innovation and development of beverages, earning a fee for new products plus a commission, with no base salary and no fixed working hours, but responsible for teaching after the release of new products.
The amount of commission was determined by the retail price of each drink.
For drinks below ten yuan, she would get one yuan per cup; for those between ten and twenty yuan, two yuan per cup; and for those above twenty yuan, three yuan per cup.
That Qiao Yuning agreed to these terms could be said to be quite sincere, of course, she had her conditions too.
If the newly developed drinks were suitable in all aspects, she wanted to apply for patents.
She hoped that the patent rights could be given to her.
Jiang Yan hadn’t considered this, and he didn’t know much about it either. He thought about securing the greatest benefit for Yang Dan, and other details seemed less important. Leave them to the boss, right? After all, one has to leave some benefits for others, doesn’t one?
After discussing everything, Yang Dan stayed behind, while Jiang Yan and Song Jiawen left.
“Hey, little brother, have you considered taking a share? I’m planning to trademark my milk tea shop and turn it into a chain,” she said.
After nearly two hours of discussion, Qiao Yuning had realized that despite his young age, this kid had substance.
Wasn’t Yang Dan’s sales plan clearly his idea?
And the name, Mango Pomelo Sago, it sounded really nice and it included the character “Yang” from Yang Dan’s name—it must’ve been his idea.
Not bad for how he treats his classmates.
As to why she didn’t think they were boyfriend and girlfriend?
Wasn’t it obvious? She could see him glancing at the girl next to him from time to time while he spoke, whereas Yang Dan only looked at her when mentioned.
Such a clear difference was visible to anyone who wasn’t blind.
“I can tell that Boss Qiao has grand aspirations. I wish you success in advance and hope we can have one of your branches at our school gate soon. But I’d better skip the shareholding. I’m a lazy person and not keen on extra work,” he said.
Qiao Yuning felt it was a pity but on hearing him mention “their school,” she grew curious, “What do you mean? Aren’t you two from Agricultural University?”
Yang Dan replied, “No, they’re from Beijing University.”
“Ah?… Impressive, impressive!” Qiao Yuning saluted, “Talented students, my apologies for disturbing you.”
Yang Dan accompanied them to the bus.
Before boarding the bus, Jiang Yan said to her, “Yang Dan, this boss seems alright for now, but one must always be cautious. Control the release of your new products well, one each month, and don’t give everything away after a few flattering words. Also, now that your part-time job is stable, you need to focus more on your studies. Don’t get lost in making money easily and put things in the wrong order. Remember, you are a student first and foremost!”
He didn’t want her to end up like him in his previous life, where his rush to make money almost cost him his diploma. Although the university wasn’t great, having or not having a degree made a big difference when job hunting.
Yang Dan appreciated Jiang Yan’s advice and nodded earnestly, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely remember.”
As the two boarded the bus and departed, Yang Dan stood at the station until the bus was out of sight before turning back.
…..
The bus wasn’t crowded, so they found seats by the window.
Song Jiawen turned to Jiang Yan and asked, “How do you know so much?”
The drink recipes were given by him to Yang Dan, the sales plan was his idea, and even during the negotiation with Boss Qiao, he was as calm as an old dog, a stark contrast to Yang Dan’s nervousness.
She snorted, “No wonder Boss Qiao was so affectionately calling you ‘little brother’; you really are quite amazing.”
Huh?
Why did that comment sound a bit sour?
Jiang Yan felt a rush of joy inside and turned to stare at Song Jiawen, “Affectionate, you say? I didn’t notice. Did you?”
Song Jiawen glanced at him and then turned away to look out of the window, ignoring him.
Suppressing a laugh, Jiang Yan leaned slightly towards her and whispered, “Jiajia, why don’t you try calling me ‘big brother’ and see how it sounds?”
Song Jiawen turned her head back and looked at him strangely, “Do you also consider me a sister just like Yang Dan does?”
The hell I consider you my sister!
How could I ever be like Yang Dan?
Jiang Yan opened his mouth, suddenly feeling like he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own foot.
However, Song Jiawen spoke earnestly, “I’m only younger than you in physical age, but our mental ages are not much different. There’s no need to keep treating me like a little sister.”
Jiang Yan thought to himself that he hadn’t considered her his sister either physically or mentally, but he nodded in agreement on the surface, “That’s exactly what I think.”
“Then why do you still let me call you ‘brother’?”
Jiang Yan: …
Isn’t this just being a smartass?
But he didn’t feel it was right to explain that this ‘brother’ meant something else.
The main reason was that in the past month, she had been annoyed by a few ‘brothers’, so now she subconsciously rejected the words “brother”.
“I was just… joking around.”
“What if I jokingly ask you to call me ‘sister,’ would you do it?”
“Sister!”
Song Jiawen: ….
She was at a loss for words, not quite understanding how he could say those two words without any mental burden.
“Why don’t you agree?”
Jiang Yan looked at her with a smile in his eyes, while Song Jiawen snorted coldly, “I hadn’t realized you had such thick skin.”
This is thick skin? What about in the future?
They soon arrived at their station, and Song Jiawen saw Yu Ci waiting at the school gate as soon as she got off.
She had arranged to have dinner with Mu Chenyan later that evening.
“I’m going to my mom’s place…”
After saying this, Song Jiawen realized that calling her “mom” didn’t feel so hard after all.
Jiang Yan also saw her third brother and nodded, “Go ahead, do you want me to come pick you up tonight?”
Song Jiawen shook her head, “You go to Xinyu. The second brother must have a lot of work piled up for you, it’s already five o’clock, and who knows how much you can do.”
Yu Ci had been waiting for more than half an hour at the school gate. He thought she would come straight to him when she got off the car, but instead, she stood there talking to that kid.
Weren’t they coming back together? What’s there left to talk about?
An unhappy Yu Ci rode his bicycle over and said, “Xiaosi, your third brother bought you a bicycle; it’s over at big brother’s place. Go have a look.”
Jiang Yan said with surprise, “Third brother, don’t you know? Xiaosi can’t ride a bicycle.”
Song Jiawen: …
Okay, she used to ride, but not anymore!
Yu Ci was momentarily dumbfounded, but soon said, “It’s okay, I’ll teach her. Let’s go to big brother’s place first.”
Song Jiawen was about to sit on the back seat when Jiang Yan watched her with a concerned look, “I mean, try to get over any psychological trauma you have, riding a bicycle isn’t hard, don’t be scared!”
Psychological trauma?
What has that bicycle done to his sister?
Surprise flashed in Yu Ci’s eyes, but he was already beating a retreat in his heart. It had been hard enough to find Xiaosi, and if he did something to give her psychological trauma… Forget it, if she can’t ride a bicycle, then he’ll buy her a car in the future.
Before leaving, Song Jiawen glanced at Jiang Yan with an expressionless face, thinking to herself, you really played quite the drama today!
