I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

Chapter 127 New Feature: Tree Hole

Ouyang Yu sat blankly on a small stool in the coffee corner.

When He Qiuzhu came over just now, he was also very surprised by the girl's beauty—even though he was deeply infatuated with Zhenzhen, Ouyang Yu had to admit that this girl was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, even Zhenzhen was slightly inferior to her.

Okay, it might be much worse.

Ouyang Yu couldn't imagine what kind of boy could be worthy of this girl.

Then, he saw Shen Kang and the girl behaving intimately.

Ouyang Yu was completely numb.

At that moment, he had a strong urge to grab Shen Kang's ear and yell: "Didn't you say you were single and wouldn't even date? How come you're dating one after another like this?! Are you playing some kind of trendy stamp collecting game?!"

At that moment, Ouyang Yu felt deep envy, jealousy, and hatred. He deeply felt what it meant for some to suffer from drought while others to suffer from floods, and he deeply felt the unevenness of this world.

After these intense emotions subsided, Ouyang Yu finally came to a profound truth: Shen Kang was unmatched in matters of love!

He felt deeply ashamed that he had previously harbored even a slight doubt about Shen Kang, this master of love.

So much so that after Shen Kang sat down, before Shen Kang could even speak, he spoke first: "I understand, Teacher Shen. The 'playing hard to get' you asked me to do, and the 'texting less with Zhenzhen,' is different from my 'playing hard to get'!"

"?"

'

Shen Kang had almost forgotten about this incident, but Ouyang Yu's words brought it to mind. He wondered to himself, "How is it different? What do you know?"

But he didn't show it; he just remained calm, as if he had everything under control, with the air of a master. "Oh? What do you think?"

.

Ouyang Yu said, "Your strategy of playing hard to get is combined with what you said before about inspiring me to be ambitious and have a career. Only when these two are combined can they produce excellent results. My previous strategy of playing hard to get, however, was standalone and lacked supporting measures, which is why it didn't have much effect!"

The more Ouyang Yu talked about it, the more convinced he became. His eyes lit up, and he was full of confidence in the move that Shen Kang had taught him.

—Is that what I meant?

Shen Kang was puzzled, but he remained calm and composed. "That's right, that's what I meant."

Ouyang Yu rubbed his hands together, his face full of excitement, as if he could see the day when he would successfully marry Zhenzhen under the master's guidance.

The wedding march seemed to be playing in my ears.

"Let's begin right away!" —

Shen Kang discovered that Ouyang Yu was a difficult person to deal with, but once he got her on his mind, her enthusiasm for work far exceeded that of ordinary employees.

Without needing any prompting, Ouyang Yu immediately and actively devoted himself to the research and development of milk tea.

During the process of developing milk tea with Ouyang Yu, Shen Kang also learned a lot about tea: he learned that different types of tea have different optimal temperatures, and that tea leaves continue to extract polyphenols and caffeine at high temperatures, which over time can cause the tea to become bitter and astringent. This explains why Shen Kang's tea was astringent. One of Ouyang Yu's methods was to separate the tea leaves from the tea liquor before it became astringent, thus preventing the tea from becoming bitter. Of course, controlling the temperature and time requires skill and is entirely based on experience.

Besides making good tea, you also have to experiment with how to properly blend milk and tea, how much sugar to add, and what kind of syrup to use.

After working until evening, Shen Kang took a break from work, ate dinner, and then drove to the printing factory that had made the trial vouchers for him. He carried a box of new trial vouchers with the Xianyu.com logo already added back to the school. Afterward, he went to the laundry room and exchanged all the remaining trial vouchers there for these new ones.

At the same time, Shen Kang also had the laundry room and study room 302 make a special notice and post it on the door to inform the students that the new experience vouchers are just as valid as the old ones.

After finishing all that, Shen Kang returned to his dormitory with the remaining new trial vouchers and the old ones he had exchanged at the laundry room.

He ordered 500 new trial vouchers and continued to list them on Xianyu. Just like yesterday, he had Feng Moquan record the number of vouchers requested each time to identify whether the buyer was an individual. He then sold 200 vouchers to these individual buyers.

This is also because Shen Kang was worried that those merchants who speculated on trial vouchers would hoard them and not release any, leaving the real customers of Study Room 302 without any trial vouchers to use. So he releases a little each day, and together with the laundry room's daily supply, it's enough to meet most of the vouchers needed by the real customers of Study Room 302 each day.

Of course, the daily quantity cannot be too high; it cannot fully meet the needs of actual customers each day. There must be a shortage. Otherwise, without a shortage to create demand, the price of the experience vouchers cannot be increased, and it will be impossible to ultimately find out the true psychological price point of customers.

Shenkang is in this situation now, trying to both ensure supply and promote the price increase of experience vouchers.

While Shen Kang was busy in the dormitory, Sun Min walked into the 302 study room, which was still open for business. She saw that all four tables were full, and there were three people sitting at table number 3, who were forming a group.

She was a guest at table number 3. Yang Yunhan called her earlier to tell her she had a gathering and asked her to come over. Zhao Wugang was also notified at the same time.

This is also a service provided by 302 Study Room. When two or more people make a reservation together, they can ask the store to arrange them to sit at the same table.

Ever since Sun Min met Zhao Wugang in study room 302 that day, the two of them often came to play together.

Looking at table number 3, Zhao Wugang hadn't arrived yet, so Sun Min wanted to talk to Yang Yunhan first. After looking around, she found that Yang Yunhan wasn't at the front desk, but standing in front of a portrait of Zhuge Liang from the game "Three Kingdoms Kill," and was hammering it.

"Yunhan, what are you doing?" Sun Min walked over and asked, looking over curiously. She found that Yang Yunhan was fixing a palm-sized flat stand to the wall next to the portrait with nails.

Sun Min couldn't help but ask, "What are you trying to do?"

"Our boss has come up with a new idea."

As Yang Yunhan spoke, she fixed the flat stand to the wall, then took a small wooden box, slightly larger than the palm of her hand, placed it on top, secured it, and then put the three pens inside.

"His idea was to turn these portraits into 'tree holes' where people could anonymously write things on them. I thought about it, and it's inconvenient without pens. If customers have to go to the front desk to get a pen and then come back to write, they might not want to write anymore. So I got some tools myself, made a few simple shelves, and put some pens here, so customers can write as soon as they want."

Sun Min was somewhat impressed: "You really are a good employee. You can think of and do these things on your own without your boss even having to say anything. Your boss really hit the jackpot by hiring you to work here."

"Well, that's what I'm supposed to do, since I'm the manager of this store."

Yang Yunhan said something, then looked back and asked, "Zhao Wugang hasn't arrived yet?"

"Not yet."

Yang Yunhan asked in a slightly gossipy voice, "How far have things progressed between you two? Have you held hands yet? Has he confessed his feelings to you?"

As Sun Min's best friend, Sun Min had also revealed some things about her relationship with Zhao Wugang to her.

Sun Min rolled her eyes and refused to answer the question.

Yang Yunhan grabbed her arm and shook it, pleading, "Tell me, tell me."

Sun Min still didn't answer, and directly changed the subject: "I'm still very grateful to you. If you hadn't asked me to come that day, we wouldn't have met."

Seeing that she wouldn't say anything, Yang Yunhan was a little disappointed, but she didn't press the matter. She released Sun Min's arm and said, "I'm actually quite surprised too. After all, I paid him to come here, and he actually hit it off with you. He's such a traitor!"

Sun Min was both amused and exasperated. "What kind of word choice is that?!"

As the two were talking, Zhao Wugang walked in. Seeing Sun Min there, he came over and greeted her with a smile: "Good evening, Manager Yang."

When Yang Yunhan saw Zhao Wugang arrive, she picked up the toolbox at her feet and said in a serious tone, "I'm going back to work." With that, she left, giving Sun Min a look as she went, as if to say, "See, I know what's good for me."

After Yang Yunhan left, Zhao Wugang stood up, looked at the extra box on the wall, and asked curiously, "What's this? Why is there a box here, and a few pens too?"

"Yunhan said it was her boss's new idea, that customers could anonymously write what they wanted to say on these portraits," Sun Min said, sharing what she had heard.

"that is----"

As Zhao Wugang spoke, he looked at the portrait with great interest and indeed saw a sentence in the blank space: "To me you are an entire universe, and to you I am just a star?"

Zhao Wugang originally wanted to say "confession wall," but after seeing similar messages on it, he couldn't bring himself to say it and changed his words: "—It's like a confessional, isn't it?"

Sun Min also saw the sentence above and nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, it's a tree hole."

Then neither of them spoke, and they just stood there silently, the atmosphere a little strange, a little ambiguous, and a little awkwardly awkward.

Finally, Zhao Wugang broke the silence, seemingly jokingly saying, "Why don't you write something too?"

Sun Min initially wanted to refuse outright and say forget it, but then a thought suddenly struck her.

Her relationship with Zhao Wugang had been progressing smoothly, but things suddenly took a turn for the worse these past two days. Although Zhao Wugang still texted her and they still arranged to meet in study room 302, Sun Min could sense that Zhao Wugang wasn't as enthusiastic as before; he seemed somewhat hesitant and uncertain.

The two are still in the ambiguous stage, and Sun Min is a little anxious, but she doesn't know how to ask. However, it seems like an opportunity right now.
