Chapter 165: Cosplay?

Only 300,000?

That is really nothing compared to the current profit amount of Tianlong.

Chen Mo thought for a moment and spoke directly.

"I'll give you a budget of one million. Whether it's new servers or old ones, just use the best ones for me."

"President Chen, we don't need servers that good at all. The previous servers can completely maintain the game's operation without any issues," Fang Chang hurriedly said over the phone.

Listening to Fang Chang's words, Chen Mo frowned. Fang Chang wasn't like this before; why did he suddenly think of saving him money?

Hmm!

It must be Wei Yan's fault. Near vermilion, one gets stained red; near ink, one gets stained black. He must have been infected by Wei Yan.

Saving money?

That doesn't exist.

Chen Mo thought about it and casually found an excuse.

"Fang Chang, since we are in the gaming business, our first priority is naturally to provide gamers with a better gaming experience. The current servers can indeed maintain the game's operation, but what about the future? If there are any changes and the current game servers aren't enough, will you have to switch servers on the spot then?"

"So don't think that just because the servers are enough, it's fine. You must plan ahead."

"I understand, President Chen."

Hearing President Chen's words, Fang Chang humbly replied.

He was still considering how to save expenses, while President Chen was already considering the future development of the game.

This is what you call vision!

Hanging up the phone,

Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh. This batch of employees is hard to manage. Can't they just be obedient and do what they're told?

At the entrance of the Nanhe Coffee Shop,

Song Xia brought Teacher Su and a group of students who had graduated from the coffee training school to the front of the coffee shop.

"This is our coffee shop."

Song Xia pointed to the sign of the Nanhe Coffee Shop, then walked to the door and opened it.

Su Dan sized up the coffee shop's sign.

Nanhe Coffee.

Who came up with this name? The homophonic reading sounds like it has a really bad connotation.

She frowned slightly, but didn't think too much about it; it was probably just a coincidence.

Seeing that Song Xia had already opened the door, she led the group of students behind her and walked in.

"Wow, what gorgeous decor!"

"The atmosphere is really great, and these chandeliers are so beautiful."

"It's so spacious; it must be over 200 square meters. I rarely see such a large coffee shop."

After seeing the scene inside the coffee shop, the barista trainees exclaimed in surprise, touching things here and looking around there.

This was the place where they would be working from now on.

It was really quite nice.

Su Dan also seriously examined the coffee shop. She was more experienced than those students; she had seen quite a few coffee shops of this size, and even some that were larger.

She didn't act as surprised as the students, but such an area, combined with such exquisite decor, was enough to show that the owner of this coffee shop really wanted to open a boutique coffee shop.

She had clearly come to the right place.

"Teacher Su, the coffee-making machines you ordered are all here."

Song Xia stood at the door of the coffee shop's storage Room and waved, calling out.

Su Dan walked over upon hearing this and saw the cardboard boxes of various sizes piled up in the storage Room, clearly the coffee machines and various equipment she had ordered a few days ago.

Seeing these machines, her hands couldn't help but itch; she wished she could immediately use these coffee machines to make a cup of coffee.

"We don't have anything else to do today, so let's unpack these machines and install them," Su Dan said with some excitement.

"Sure!"

Song Xia nodded. They would be opening soon, and these machines would have to be installed sooner or later.

Soon, the other students who had finished touring the coffee shop ran over and began to work together to move the large and small boxes out of the storage Room.

Teacher Su checked the styles of the machines on the side, directing the unpacking and placing them in different locations.

"This is the roaster; just put it in that corner."

"This is the manual coffee grinder; just put it on the back counter."

"These are the glass jars for storing coffee beans; just put them at the front counter. We can stock different coffee beans, and customers can choose the coffee beans themselves."

After two hours of hard work, the coffee shop had a new look thanks to everyone's efforts.

Everyone sat on the chairs with tired faces, except for Teacher Su, who was still looking at the arranged coffee shop with an excited face; she wished she could open for business right now.

The only drawback now was that the coffee beans were too monotonous, with only two types currently available.

Looking at the row of empty glass jars, she sighed slightly. It would be great if all these jars were filled.

Everyone rested in the coffee shop for a while longer,

Song Xia stood up and said,

"Since everyone has finished looking around the coffee shop, let's go back first. Tomorrow, President Chen will come personally to have everyone sign their employment contracts."

"Okay!"

Su Dan replied, and the others all nodded.

Just like that, everyone left the coffee shop and returned to a hotel near the coffee shop.

They had already booked this hotel before arriving in Jiang City.

After arriving in Jiang City, they had also first dropped their luggage off at the hotel Room before coming to the coffee shop.

Song Xia didn't return to her own place either, but stayed in the hotel with them; this would make it more convenient to head to the coffee shop together tomorrow.

"Teacher Su, I took a look, and the rental prices near the coffee shop are roughly between 1,000 and 3,000. The more expensive ones have a larger area."

"There is a three-bedroom apartment here, 120 square meters, with a monthly rent of 2,100. Looking at the photos, the decor is quite nice."

One student held her phone, checking housing information near the coffee shop.

For this three-bedroom apartment, if three people lived in it, 700 per person would be enough. If they were a bit more frugal, with two people in one bedroom, 350 per person would be enough.

"Hmm, save the listings that look good, and we'll compare and filter them later," Teacher Su said upon hearing this.

After returning to the hotel, she had asked these students to check for rental information nearby. After all, once they started working, they couldn't stay in the hotel forever; they still needed to rent a place.

"Okay!"

The student obediently began looking for good listings.

However, just at this moment, several students rushed in from outside and shouted loudly,

"Teacher Su, let's change our Room."

"What's wrong?"

Su Dan looked at the students who rushed in with confusion, puzzled as to why they wanted to change their Room when everything was fine.

But before those students could answer, Zhou Mei walked in.

"What are you running for? It's just asking you to try on two outfits."

Su Dan heard this and looked up at Zhou Mei, but when she saw Zhou Mei's attire, she was completely stunned.

Zhou Mei had golden-pink hair with two antlers on it, and her outfit was very unconventional—an exaggerated style with messy strips of cloth. Overall, she looked very much like a character from some anime.

Was this cosplay?
