Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1099 - 492: Bae Juhyun Takes Up the Banner

When Bae Juhyun brought Liu Xin'an back to the store, the first thing she saw was Kang Seulgi standing to the side, sighing endlessly.

As for why Kang Seulgi was sighing...

Because she was scolded harshly by Son Seungwan, who managed the group's finances, for spending money recklessly.

Bae Juhyun let go of Liu Xin'an's big hand and curiously walked over to Kang Seulgi: "What's wrong, Seulgi?"

"Got scolded."

"Huh?"

Son Seungwan, who was drinking water nearby, glared at Kang Seulgi, scaring her into shrinking her neck.

However, in front of Liu Xin'an, they couldn't say much about it. After all, keeping quiet about getting the cake was part of the surprise they were preparing for Liu Xin'an, and if it got exposed now, it wouldn't be a surprise at all.

"How's the situation in the store?"

Bae Juhyun seemed to also realize the reason Kang Seulgi was scolded, so she changed the subject, gently patting the back of her younger sister in her own way to comfort the pitiful Kang Seulgi.

Though she didn't know what exactly Kang Seulgi had done wrong, she still planned to comfort her a bit since Seulgi went to get the cake for her.

"Today's performance is good, we sold almost 100 cups already."

"So, have we made 600 bucks then?"

"Well... almost, but the tricky part is that the store's materials might run low."

Even fruit tea has its popular varieties.

In the hot summer, watermelon and lemon juice sell the best, almost every customer who comes into the store orders a cup.

This led to a severe shortage of watermelon and lemon stock in the store, and they didn't have many options for restocking. If these two fruits run out, they'd have to be temporarily removed from the menu.

Looking at it currently, managing to sell nearly 100 cups in just over 3 hours is already a great achievement.

But there's still a considerable gap from their target of 5000 bucks, which corresponds to approximately 1000 cups.

"We're planning to operate until around 10 PM tonight, right?"

"Right."

"Xin'an, can you contact the shop owner to get us some restocking channels?" Bae Juhyun thought for a moment, then started to command the overall situation.

She was the oldest among everyone present and also the leader of the group, so she needed to stabilize everyone's emotions at this time.

"Sure, I'll make a call and ask."

Bae Juhyun's decisive manner always struck a chord with Liu Xin'an, and he had no intention of refusing, smiling as he cooperated with his girlfriend's direction.

"Thanks, earlier when I went out with Xin'an to recruit customers, we got a lot of feedback from fans. Everyone said having only 50 slots available for the performance the day after tomorrow is too few; they really want to see our show..."

While wandering outside earlier, she indeed heard a lot of fans' sentiments.

Among them, the most common grievance was about the limited slots for the performance the day after tomorrow.

Indeed, except for the family concerts a few years ago, they hadn't performed in China even once.

Although this wasn't exactly a proper performance, it at least counted as their first solo performance in China, which was very commemorative.

But due to the venue and some other factors, they couldn't organize any particularly large-scale performance events.

The fans would feel it was a pity and unfortunate, but it was a helpless action.

Bae Juhyun was always a soft-hearted person.

Before dating Liu Xin'an, apart from her family and members, fans were always her top priority.

Be it at fan signings or various types of offline fan meets... whenever there was a chance to meet fans, she always did her best to meet their requests.

And this time...

She still wanted to be that Irene who thoroughly pampered everyone in the eyes of her fans.

Bae Juhyun looked over at Lee Yeonju, pointing out the door.

"Can't we set up some temporary speakers on the beach outside? There's no residential area nearby, so maybe we could hold some events temporarily outside in the evening, whether it's a performance or just singing, and satisfy the fans' requests while further boosting the sales of our cold drinks."

Although not particularly smart, throughout her years as an artist, she had developed a very good business acumen.

Even on a beach, generally by eight or nine o'clock in the evening, there wouldn't be any customers lingering around.

The store usually stayed open until eight or nine mainly because there was take-out service available.

But during these days when they were at the store, take-out service would definitely not be available. They were already too busy to handle the orders from fans on-site, let alone having any time for take-out...

So, the time that would otherwise be wasted definitely needed to be utilized somehow.

Her suggestion made everyone's eyes light up, because as artists, they never resented performing, let alone performing for the Chinese fans, which was precisely why they came to China to record the group variety show.

They wouldn't be like the company, considering so many pros and cons, they only knew that having such success this year, was largely thanks to the Chinese fans.

Since the Chinese fans were so supportive, they had to work hard to give back to everyone.

This suggestion also made Lee Yeonju start to think.

Initially, they also considered whether they could hold more fan events with Bae Juhyun and the others.

The problem was, they never expected Bae Juhyun and the others would earn money so easily at the start.

Who knew Liu Xin'an suddenly found such a great friend, who got hold of a ready-made cold drink shop!
