Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 314 - 313: The Beginning

"I know. Actually, I already wanted to end it. Today, just seeing him, I couldn’t help it a bit. What I really want to say is, you’re back, and I won’t come to the shop anymore. Let this relationship end like this. I won’t hurt my family."

Guo Donghua stated her decision.

Gu Xiaoqing looked at the somewhat sad Guo Donghua, not knowing how to console her.

Matters of the heart, even I can’t figure them out, let alone someone else’s feelings.

"Okay, since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t say much. I’m thinking you have a lot to do. I want to open a branch, and since you’re a partner, the site selection and preparation work for the branch will need you to handle."

Gu Xiaoqing hoped to find some things for Guo Donghua to do to distract her, as people say getting over a lost love requires something else to fill the void.

Even though this was just unrequited love.

Guo Donghua picked up a piece of Kung Pao chicken with her chopsticks and put it in Gu Xiaoqing’s bowl, jokingly saying, "Eat up. I know, from now on I’ll be your laborer, working tirelessly and always ready at your call, alright?"

Then she consoled herself by eating the dishes heartily.

Gu Xiaoqing ate the food in her bowl, seeing that Guo Donghua didn’t seem as unable to accept or let go as expected, happily said, "You know, one day when you become the boss of a big corporation, maybe you’ll stand on equal footing with Han Xiao. Maybe then, if sparks fly between the two of you, it would be destined."

This might just be a form of comfort, but perhaps it’s enough to muster some courage.

Guo Donghua ate and drank, laughing, "Don’t try to console me. I’m not really dumb; sometimes I do things without much thought, because my family does a lot. I grew up pampered, with limited experiences, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know or understand; I just don’t put my heart into it."

She poured a drink into Gu Xiaoqing’s cup, "Eat quickly, the food here really does taste great. I’m eating till my eyes water from the spice, yet I can’t stop eating. I think if one day we see our milk tea shops everywhere, I would be very happy, not just for standing on par with Han Xiao, but for our future."

Even without men, we can achieve things that many men cannot. Not for men, we can still live very well."

This girl seems to be over-stimulated, igniting her fighting spirit.

"Alright, let’s build a great enterprise together, create a business belonging to us women. One day, let them see that we too can do it better, achieving careers and lives not inferior to theirs, without relying on anyone, just depending on our own efforts."

Gu Xiaoqing raised her glass, and she and Guo Donghua made bold statements.

That afternoon, Gu Xiaoqing and Guo Donghua went to Gu Xiaoqing’s apartment.

The two of them spent the entire afternoon discussing plans for the branch.

Gu Xiaoqing identified a few specific areas for potential customer bases so that Guo Donghua could search accordingly and then make further plans.

With the money Gu Xiaoqing and Guo Donghua had in hand, opening a few more branches wouldn’t be a problem. The next step was to contact Guo Donghua’s uncle and confirm the milk tea ingredient matters.

Gu Xiaoqing’s idea was to secure the import agency rights for the milk tea ingredients themselves, so they wouldn’t have to rely on others for the ingredients in the future.

This is the lifeblood of the milk tea shop, and it doesn’t feel secure being controlled by others. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

And for future chains, all raw materials and equipment need to be self-managed, otherwise future developments will be severely impacted.

These issues need to be resolved, and it can’t be done overnight, so the two of them need to split up to work separately.

Gu Xiaoqing also needs to hire staff to train at the current store location, ensuring that future staffing won’t be affected.

Guo Donghua seemed to be inspired by everything Gu Xiaoqing said, her passion ignited as if a small universe erupted.

They almost stayed up all night discussing and planning every detail meticulously. The renovation plan and logo for the latest milk tea stores were carefully designed, based on the style of the current store near the school. This store was set by Gu Xiaoqing according to plans from over ten years into the future.

It’s already the most advanced leading style of avant-garde and fashion, coupled with product positioning and the latest product settings, including subsequent equipment like custom patterns and packaging for disposable cups. Gu Xiaoqing and Guo Donghua agreed on finding a specialized factory to handle these things in the future.

This avoids the need to custom order from places like Hong Kong, saving a lot on costs and shipping.

Even after a sleepless night, they didn’t feel a bit tired.

Guo Donghua and Gu Xiaoqing were working in coordination.

The site selection for the branches had to be set according to two directions, with two different routes investigated. Gu Xiaoqing even avoided future relocation plans and metro positions to prevent future hassle in choosing sites again.

Guo Donghua and Gu Xiaoqing each took a route for site selection.

The Li Sisters in the store served as exclusive training instructors for Gu Xiaoqing. After posting a large number of recruitment ads, this location would train employees for each branch as the headquarters.

After a brief rest, the two of them started their busy work again.

After all, selecting any storefront isn’t an easy task, and subsequent renovations, etc., are very tedious and exhausting.

Of course, the first thing Gu Xiaoqing had to do was visit Shenzhen with Guo Donghua to speak with Guo Donghua’s uncle. They also needed to meet the milk tea ingredient suppliers in Hong Kong and discuss the supply issue of mainland agency for milk tea ingredients.

This is a prerequisite that must be done well.

Guo Donghua already booked their plane tickets. She couldn’t stand aside on this matter, as it involved her uncle, making things more convenient with her stepping in.

Moreover, Guo Donghua knew that Gu Xiaoqing was unfamiliar with the area, making it feel more foreign if she went alone.

After all, the two of them are partners, so going out to do business together is only natural.

Everything actually went pretty smoothly. At least before heading to Hong Kong, they met Guo Donghua’s uncle, Zhao Xiangguo, in Shenzhen. Zhao Xiangguo already understood their intentions from phone conversations and admired these two young women greatly.

The fact that he could see his niece so dedicated and hardworking made Zhao Xiangguo highly impressed, especially considering they were of the same age as his niece, earning his deep respect.

Thus, he worked hard to make this event happen.
