Chapter 227: Buying Medicine for Xia Mo

The next morning at eight o’clock, Chu Tian emerged from the entrance of his residential unit, and Xia Mo was already waiting for him in the electric car.

Just moments ago, Xia Mo had called Chief Zhang and informed him about Chu Tian’s decision to join White Milk Tea. Chief Zhang showed great interest and invited Chu Tian to the police station.

“Where’s the big baby?” Xia Mo asked. “Did you take her to school?”

“No,” replied Chu Tian, sitting in the back seat of the electric car and hugging Xia Mo’s waist. “Xiao Bai and Sister Nian went together. Actually, Sister Nian is also heading to the shop.”

Xia Mo drove off with Chu Tian and remarked, “Li Sisi is still asleep?”

“Yes, Sister Sisi went to bed after breakfast. She usually sleeps until noon.”

“Ah, Li Sisi leads such a comfortable life. She sleeps so well every day. No wonder her skin is so flawless and youthful, just like that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl…”

……

It was eight-forty in the morning when they reached the Haicheng police station. Xia Mo parked the electric car and led Chu Tian inside.

Five minutes later, Xia Mo stood outside Chief Zhang’s office and knocked on the door.

“Come in,” Chief Zhang called out.

Xia Mo opened the office door and entered, with Chu Tian following behind her. “Chief, Chu Tian is here with me.”

Chief Zhang smiled as he looked at Chu Tian and stood up. “Chu Tian, come on, have a seat.”

“Chief, I won’t sit,” Xia Mo said with a smile. “You two can discuss. I’ll go and check if there are any ongoing cases.”

“Sure,” Chief Zhang replied. “Go ahead.”

Xia Mo nodded and smiled at Chu Tian before leaving the office.

After Xia Mo left the office, Chief Zhang poured a glass of water and handed it to Chu Tian. He then gestured for him to sit down with him and said with a smile, “Chu Tian, what is it? Are you planning to make the white milk tea stronger?”

“Yes, I have this idea.” Chu Tian smiled and said, “I opened a milk tea shop, and it has been in business for some time. I think this white milk tea is very popular with the public, so I just want to try it out.”

Chief Zhang nodded and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He looked at Chu Tian and asked, “Smoking?”

“I won’t.” Chu Tian smiled and shook his head.

Chief Zhang nodded and lit a cigarette for himself: “Actually, a few days ago, I happened to pass by that milk tea shop. It was packed with people, a long queue stretching outside. I had planned to buy a cup but eventually gave up.”

“There’s no other way.” Chu Tian said with a smile: “At present, there is only one store like mine in the world; it has already sold at full capacity. Because of the store, it can only sell fifty thousand cups in a day. If the store is bigger, it can sell more!”

Chief Zhang nodded. “Then why don’t you do it yourself?”

“Although no one in your school knows about your situation, I still know about your situation. You’re not someone who needs money. With your financial resources, you can set up a few more shops in Haicheng. Why don’t you have your own money?”

“Chief Zhang, this is mainly because it’s troublesome to manage.” Chu Tian said, “Let’s not talk about Haicheng. In the entire country, I can open a chain store myself. I really don’t lack this money, but if I can’t manage it, how many people would I need? There are too many things to do, so I might as well turn it into a franchise store and hire someone to join us. That way, as long as I’m responsible for the supply and management of the goods, they can handle it themselves. I have a few things to do, and it’s also easy.”

“Then…” Chief Zhang thought for a moment and said, “There should be a lot of people who want to join, right?”

“There are so many of them.” Chu Tian said, “As soon as this news was released, a lot of people were immediately interested in it. It’s mainly my manager, Li Niannian. She’s in charge of joining the chain stores. The first batch will have 200 spots. I estimate that by the time my company officially starts production, the 200 spots will be taken away.”

That’s it!

Chief Zhang smiled and said: “Then, why did she suddenly think of giving my son a spot?”

“No, no.” Chu Tian hurriedly shook his head and laughed, “Director Zhang, that’s not what it means. The main reason is that no one has asked me to join us in Haicheng. Then, I have a good relationship with Sister Xia Mo, we live in the same community, and some of our friends often eat and chat together.”

“Then, Sister Xia said that you have a son, Director Zhang. At the moment, you’re doing some small business for yourself. As for your son, his character and quality are good. He’s working together. Who doesn’t want to work together with someone with a good character? Then, I asked for a spot from my head store manager.”

“After all, Haicheng is the birthplace of white milk tea. Why don’t we set up a few stores in our own city? We can’t let the people in the outer city snatch all the spots, right?”

After hearing Chu Tian’s words, Director Zhang smiled and nodded. “Actually, when Xia Mo called me earlier, she said it in great detail. At that time, my son was also here, and he was also interested in joining.”

“However, our family can’t afford this 20 million. If it’s possible, we’ll follow what you and Xia Mo said. I’ll let him join the store while slowly making up for the money.”

“That’s no problem.” Chu Tian said, “I’m sure I can trust you, Chief Zhang. Besides, I’m looking for a long-term franchisee, not a short-term franchisee. I’m not looking for a fee.”

As he said this, Chu Tian took out two contracts and said, “Chief Zhang, this is the detailed contract for joining. When you go home, I will bring it to your son.”

“Sure.” Chief Zhang said, “Let’s keep the contract. If he’s interested, I’ll have him sign it and bring it over. Then I’ll have Xia Mo bring it to you.”

“Sure.” Chu Tian stood up with a smile and said, “Chief Zhang, then I won’t disturb your work. You should be busy first. I’ll go buy some medicine for Sister Xia.”

Huh?

Help Xia Mo buy medicine?

Chief Zhang furrowed his brows and said, “What’s going on? Are you buying for Xia Mo?”

“It’s nothing.” Chu Tian said, “Sister Xia doesn’t sleep well. Sometimes, after working the night shift, she can’t adjust her work and rest, so she’s very tired. It’s good that I went to the nearby pharmacy to buy her some medicine to help her sleep.”

“Tsk, why is there such a thing?” Chief Zhang frowned and said, “Xia Mo didn’t tell me that she’s going to mess with her body again. Alright, I know what’s going on. You should go and do your work.”

“Okay, Chief Zhang.” Chu Tian smiled and said, “Then I’ll leave first.”

After saying this, Chu Tian turned around and left the office.

Just outside the police station, as Chu Tian was about to hail a taxi, he received a call from Xia Mo.

Chu Tian answered the call, saying, “Hello, Sister Xia.”

“You bastard, what did you say to the chief?” Xia Mo said.

“Ah?” Chu Tian innocently said, “I didn’t say anything. I just said to buy you some medicine. You don’t sleep well.”

“You damn.” Xia Mo said, “Chief just told me that recently he asked me not to work the night shift and asked me to properly adjust my body. You really know how to cause trouble!”

Chu Tian chuckled and said, “Sister Xia, what does the Chief’s arrangement have to do with me? Besides, you just don’t sleep well.”

“How do you know I’m not sleeping well? Did I say I didn’t sleep well?”

“Needless to say.” Chu Tian smiled and said, “I can tell. Alright, sister, I’ll hang up first.”

As he spoke, Chu Tian directly hung up the phone with a smile.
