"Damn, Brother Sen has reeled in another rich lady into his harem?
"Isn't that the rich woman from Fudan? How did she end up working in our bubble tea shop?"
"Could it be that Boss Xu has so dirt on her, blackmailing the lady into her fall from grace, hehehe..."
"Exactly, and he's outright kept her here. Just look at Boss Xu's luck, the world only has ten scoops of soft rice, and Boss Xu has claid twelve, the rest of the world even owes him two!"
"This isn't Brother Sen; this is outright 'Sen-port'..."
The three scoundrels of the dormitory, Zhou Hangyu, Li Rundong, and Ma Yaxing were utterly shocked to learn that Yu Lan had also stayed at the bubble tea shop.
The trio watched Yu Lan skillfully cutting fruits, twisting their butts as they whispered and giggled among themselves.
"What are you guys muttering about now?"
Xu Musen ca up behind them. Seeing their butts wriggling about, he knew they were up to no good and gave each a kick.
"Brother Sen, what's the situation with this one?"
Zhou Hangyu ca over with a teasing smile.
"She's just here to experience life. Don't say all this nonsense; be careful or you might offend her and affect future partnerships. I'll dock your wages."
Xu Musen said irritably.
"Experience life? What kind of life? University life sure is nice!" Zhou Hangyu said with a lewd smile.
Xu Musen gave him another kick, "Hurry up and get back to work."
The group quickly dispersed with cheeky smiles.
Xu Musen's gaze then turned to Yu Lan in the shop.
Yu Lan had been living at the bubble tea shop for a few days now.
She was slowly getting used to her new lifestyle, occasionally chatting with Zhao Lianmai every day in the store.
Moreover, she had beco very proficient in tasks she had never been exposed to before, such as cutting fruits, making bubble tea, and serving custors.
This made Yu Lan truly feel the entrepreneurial spirit for the first ti, especially the startup from scratch feeling.
"How have these few days been, getting used to it?"
Xu Musen ca into the bubble tea shop, looking at Yu Lan in her work outfit skillfully cutting fruits, and couldn't help but smile.
"Living under soone else's roof, what's there to get used to or not get used to."
Yu Lan huffed. She had gone from being a carefree heiress to an ambitious entrepreneur.
Now, she had beco a humble worker with no place to call ho.
"But it's pretty good too. Before, I ca into business full of passion, but knew very little about the grassroots. Now that I think about it, my businesses have always been a bit less successful— just a bit behind yours, maybe for these reasons."
Yu Lan had to admit that Xu Musen was indeed more capable than her. Although he seed to be loafing around daily with his girlfriend, his businesses were doing very well. In contrast, she was worn out every day but never saw any improvent.
Xu Musen looked at her stubbornness and said smilingly, "Indeed, that's part of the reason. I roam around daily because I understand basically every aspect of the company and can maintain control, ensuring it doesn't collapse. There's a saying, 'a business owner can afford to slack but can't afford to be incompetent.'
"Are you saying I'm incompetent?"
Yu Lan shot him a glare, her fruit knife glittering coldly.
"Better make those fruit cuts clean, or I'll dock your pay."
"Psh, who are you scaring..."
Yu Lan huffed. Lately, she had often heard Xu Musen threatening to dock soone's wages, but he had never actually done so.
Although everyone wasn't afraid of Xu Musen, they still followed his orders without question.
The company was very harmonious, where colleagues were also friends.
Perhaps, as the company grows, regulations will gradually replace the feelings of friendship, but the early stages of a startup really needed this kind of collective effort.
These were all lessons Yu Lan had learned over the past few days.
"People here at the bubble tea shop are pretty nice; just ignore the few with nasty tongues," Xu Musen said with a smile.
He specifically ant Zhou Hangyu and Li Rundong, but these two were just all talk and no guts.
"Is there such a thing as a guy without a nasty tongue?"
Yu Lan glanced at him, then turned her gaze towards Zhao Lianmai, who was making bubble tea nearby.
"She's always so quiet, only responding a few words even when I talk to her."
Yu Lan was slightly frustrated. She thought her heiress deanor was cold enough, but standing next to Zhao Lianmai, she felt like she was the talkative one.
"Normal, don't ntion you, even I, the boss, get the cold shoulder from her, you'll get used to it," Xu Musen waved off.
"She gives you the cold shoulder? I think it's more like indestructible loyalty..."
Yu Lan rembered their conversation from the other night.
Sothing about how she would always be his worker as long as he didn't send her away.
This kind of loyalty and trust from soone else was truly enviable.
Yu Lan recalled that there was hardly anyone around her who trusted or was as loyal to her.
As for Yang Xiaotao, Yu Lan considered her just a kid,
"My team and I are all about sticking together, and of course, that includes Boss Zhu."
Xu Musen snapped his fingers, "Right, if you're free tonight, co over to my place for dinner."
"Together… does your little boss lady know?"
"Of course, she's the one who gave the permission. I wouldn't dare invite such a beautiful woman to my ho without her consent."
