Rebirth: Rewriting Youth

Chapter 324 Applicants
The difference between classic milk tea is nothing more than the tea base and the toppings, so if you want to take pictures, the milk tea base can actually be reused.

After the pure tea is shot, milk cap can be added to make it into milk cap tea, so the most troublesome one is actually the fruit tea series.

After nearly two hours of hard work, the shooting was finally completed.

Since the milk tea has already been made, it naturally does not want to be wasted, so Shen Yu asked the three people from Wu Jicheng's crew to taste this "advertising product".

As expected, the Fuyunding series of milk tea received unanimous admiration and praise, which also made Shen Yu more confident.

However, when tasting the fruit tea, the young assistant who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "I feel that the types and tastes of your fruit teas are very similar to the taste of COCO milk tea."

As soon as the assistant finished speaking, everyone present looked at him.

"What's wrong?" The assistant saw that everyone was looking at him, and blurted out in confusion: "I'm not wrong, I often go to the COCO store on the basement floor of Xinshikou Jinlun Plaza, the taste of the two stores is really similar."

"Which one do you think tastes better?" Shen Yu asked with a smile without getting angry.

Not noticing Wu Jicheng's look, the assistant pondered for a moment and said, "Excluding Mr. Shen's milk tea, I think they both have their merits. But I personally prefer Mr. Shen's milk tea because it has a stronger tea flavor. But I think this kumquat lemon and the two Olay ones are a little inferior to COCO's."

"I've tried COCO, too, but I think Mr. Shen's mango sago and milk tea are very unique. They will definitely be popular when they are launched on the market." Seeing that the assistant was about to continue talking, Wu Jicheng glared at him and interrupted him.

Seeing Wu Jicheng's little action, Shen Yu smiled and waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's okay. I just want to listen to the customer's opinions. Besides, what this brother said is not wrong."

Looking at the people across from him, Shen Yu smiled and said, "I used to drink COCO and other brands of milk tea frequently, so the recipes for the milk teas I made did refer to the flavors of milk teas on the market."

"In the catering and tea beverage industries, people learn from each other and then add their own improvements and innovations. This is a very normal thing," Wu Jicheng said with a smile.

Then he took another look at the menu that Shen Yu had placed on the table and praised, "But the flagship product of Mr. Shen's store should be this innovative Floating Cloud Top series of milk tea with milk cap, right? I have to say that Mr. Shen is very talented in the tea industry. His business will definitely be good in the future."

"Thank you for the compliment. Luck, luck, it's all just guessing." Shen Yu replied with a guilty conscience.

"When Mr. Shen's business grows in the future, I hope you can continue to cooperate with our company." Wu Jicheng said with a smile, stretching out a hand.

"Of course, of course." Shen Yu also smiled and held Wu Jicheng's hand.

After some business exchanging, Shen Yu discussed with Wu Jicheng the overall style of the promotional posters and menus, as well as the production of the illuminated characters on the door sign and some content on the roll-up banners.

Shen Yu had prepared all these materials and text contents in advance, so he just transferred them to Wu Jicheng using a USB flash drive.

Wu Jicheng already knew the style that Shen Yu wanted from their last collaboration, so the two of them communicated very easily. Finally, he said that he would produce a sample drawing for Shen Yu to see as soon as possible within 3-5 working days, and if Shen Yu was not satisfied, they could communicate and make modifications at that time.

After seeing them off, Shen Yu tidied up the house, went downstairs to eat, and returned to school.

Since the recruitment information was posted on 68.com, I have received several calls from people looking to apply for the position of store manager.

After a brief inquiry over the phone, Shen Yu learned that these people were store managers in the catering industry, had no experience in the tea industry, and were all men, which made Shen Yu a little disappointed.

After all, store managers in the catering industry also strictly speaking consider it as cross-border business.

Only the store clerks of Starbucks and other coffee brands, or the bar staff in old coffee restaurants can be considered colleagues in the strict sense.

But there is no way. In those days, the tea beverage industry has not yet taken off. COCO and Yidiandian, two old brands in the tea beverage industry, have just launched their mainland expansion plans not long ago, so there must be very few people engaged in this industry.

Two of the applicants declined the offer after hearing that they would also need to do daily work such as mixing drinks and working in the kitchen. Shen Yu also interviewed two of the remaining applicants.

One of them looked rather eccentric and was very skilled at boasting and flattering others, so Shen Yu didn't like him very much.

The other manager was experienced and had been a store manager for 4 years. He also understood other aspects of the work in a milk tea shop. But he asked for 7000 yuan directly, which made Shen Yu hesitate.

After exchanging contact information, Shen Yu decided to wait and see.

On the weekend, Han Shuang came to Jiankang again because she needed to install furniture in her new home. Han Shuang didn't want to be alone, so Shen Yu had to accompany her.

However, while the master was installing the customized cabinet doors, Shen Yu received another job application call.

The voice in the microphone was a female voice, and it was soft and gentle, which made Shen Yu quite satisfied.

After all, a good-looking clerk can go a long way in attracting and retaining customers, especially in this vibrant university town.

After learning that the applicant named Xu Yuan had worked in a generic milk tea shop before, Shen Yu immediately made a prompt decision and asked her to come to Aolai City for an interview.

Xu Yuan lived not far from Xianxi University Town, so Shen Yu agreed to meet her at Xianxi Center Metro Station in half an hour.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yu and Han Shuang said goodbye and went to interview a clerk.

Although Han Shuang was somewhat unhappy, she still couldn't persuade Shen Yu, so she could only mutter something silently.

Shen Yu couldn't hear the sound, but he could feel that what was supposed to be said was not a good thing.

"Okay, I'll be out for a while and will be back after the interview is over." Shen Yu said with a smile while rubbing Han Shuang's head.

"I know. Go ahead." Han Shuang replied with a pout.

After staying at Dongfang Tianjun for a while, I saw that it was almost time, so I drove to the subway station.

Shen Yu waited for a while at the platform entrance, and then he heard the sound of the subway rubbing against the tracks on the elevated overhead. Line 2 had entered the station.

After a while, a group of students came out of the platform, about a dozen or so, no more, no less.

Shen Yu stood quietly in the open space near the door, his eyes constantly scanning the girls in the group.

Finally, at the back of the crowd, I found a lone girl with a ponytail, no makeup, and looking around as if she was looking for someone.

Shen Yu guessed that this girl should be Xu Yuan.

So I took a closer look. His face was not bad, with regular features and above average looks, better looking than the average person. His skin was a little dark, and he was thin, but not too short, about 164cm tall, and the clothes he wore were also very ordinary.

At first glance, Shen Yu was already quite satisfied.

The two people's eyes met, and the lone girl hesitated for a moment, then walked towards Shen Yu.

"Xu Yuan?" Shen Yu asked first with a smile.
