After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady

He hadn't turned his head yet when a hand already twisted his ear.

Chu Wenhui had already appeared behind him, her delicate face slightly blushing with embarrassment, but still carrying a formidable presence.

"Who did you say you were going to take down fiercely?"

Chu Wenhui had heard everything he said, of course, Xu Musen had intentionally baited him into talking.

He Qiang also covered his own ear, giving his buddy a resentful look.

So much for loyalty, you damn bootlicker! You actually betrayed your brother!

Xu Musen happily munched on seeds, suddenly understanding how Zhu Yulan felt when she deliberately set him up yesterday.

"I... I wasn't talking about you."

He Qiang pleaded for mercy as he explained.

But as Chu Wenhui listened to his words, she glared fiercely and twisted his ear even harder, "What! Then who were you talking about?"

Her tone was as if she had caught a cheater red-handed.

He Qiang, in pain, howled and repeatedly admitted his mistake, "I was wrong, I was wrong, actually, I was talking about you..."

"Oh! So you have those kinds of thoughts about me, I really misjudged you!"

Chu Wenhui blushed and twisted her further; He Qiang was left speechless, doomed either way it seemed.

Xu Musen watched from the side, yet he sighed, thinking that He Qiang, this introvert, just needed someone with a strong personality to keep him in check.

After some small talk, the three of them looked at the bustling commercial street.

Although the University of Science and Technology wasn't as prestigious as Hu Hai University and Fudan, it was still quite large, and the business street was lively.

Xu Musen glanced around and noticed there was already one bubble tea shop on the street; its business seemed mediocre.

This would be somewhat difficult to handle.

He had already discussed today's purpose with He Qiang.

Rubbing his ear, He Qiang started, "This bubble tea shop has been open for many years. Usually, the business is mediocre at best. There are too few flavors, and the proprietress is a menopausal woman who is incredibly fierce. If it weren't for the cheap prices, the business would probably have tanked long ago."

Xu Musen observed for a while; the bubble tea shop was one of those old-fashioned places with a limited variety.

The customer flow was decent enough, but it was the toughest kind of shop to deal with, neither high-end nor low-end. If we tried to buy it outright, the proprietress would surely quote an outrageous price.

If we opened a new store directly, we'd inevitably have to engage in a price war, which would mean both sides would suffer in the early phase.

Xu Musen was now looking to speed up the opening of branches, aiming to establish his own bubble tea shops and takeout services in all the campuses across Hu Hai before the New Year.

Therefore, the cost of each store must be kept within a reasonable range.

Xu Musen thought for a moment, then stood up, "Let's go, we'll also buy a cup of bubble tea to try."

They entered the shop and found that the bubble tea was made by a middle-aged woman with a loud voice, shouting for customers to hurry and pick up their drinks whenever a cup was ready.

Inside the bubble tea shop, it seemed there was just traditional bubble tea, at most with some fruit juice powder added to become a different flavor.

The proprietress looked like she had a bad temper; Xu Musen had seen this type many times.

In his previous life, many internet-famous shops gained their reputations like this: an old lady selling egg burgers, a vendor charging over a hundred yuan per jin for pig intestines while brazenly saying if you can't afford it don't eat it, later posting a video claiming to have been almost beaten to a pulp and looking much more clear-eyed.

However, these kinds of shops run by ill-tempered owners generally had a few features.

That is, they were small shops with no competition nearby, or their products were indeed good quality, or else the prices were incredibly low.

Looking at the price list, a cup of bubble tea was three yuan.

A bottle of Farmer's punch was selling for two yuan.

Of course, selling drinks was always profitable.

This traditional style bubble tea was completely no-frills and labor-intensive, using powdered tea mixes that probably cost just a few cents per cup.

With such prices, even if the owner's attitude wasn't great, there would still be customers, as most students didn't have much money.

"Your bubble tea is ready!"

The proprietress shouted, throwing the bubble tea onto the counter and then lounging in her chair, watching TV while picking her nose.

Xu Musen, not feeling too impressed, handed her ten yuan.

"One yuan, I don't have change... do you still want it? Otherwise, I can give you two strawberries instead."

The proprietress said, ready to pick strawberries with the same hand she had just used to pick her nose.

"Nevermind, it's okay."

Xu Musen shook his head.

The proprietress was unapologetic, pocketing the ten yuan and continuing to lie down and watch TV.

Xu Musen had already seen that she had change in her drawer... it seemed she liked to take advantage of the small things.

"Boss, the pearls in this bubble tea are too few, and the taste is a bit weak."

Someone in the shop questioned while holding their bubble tea.

"It's only three yuan a cup, you still want to taste gold in it? It's already not bad. Young people shouldn't eat so much sugar; it's better for your health."

The proprietress argued stubbornly.

The person was left speechless. I'm already drinking bubble tea and you're telling me not to have sugar?

Xu Musen smiled to himself, tried a sip of the bubble tea, and as expected, it was bland. It wasn't that it wasn't sweet, but the sweetness clearly came from something like saccharin, giving it a slightly bitter aftertaste.

All were low-cost items.

Glancing around the shop, Xu Musen already had an idea in his mind.

He put down the bubble tea, guessing even An Nuannuan, the little foodie, wouldn't want to drink this.

"I have something this afternoon, I'll treat you guys next time I come," Xu Musen said, checking the time and realizing it was almost time to meet Yao Mingyue to go shopping for clothes.
