"Then let's go, I saw on a review site that there's a decent milk tea shop nearby."

The little accountant, hearing that Chen Yiyang was treating, immediately put aside the brush matter.

She received a lot of salary and benefits from her boss.

But the times when her boss personally opened his wallet to treat were truly too few.

This time treating for milk tea, she surely wouldn't have to make this count as a company expense, right?

So the little accountant happily went out with Chen Yiyang to have milk tea.

The milk tea shop recommended by the little accountant was not big and wasn't a major chain brand either.

When Chen Yiyang arrived, there were only two people in the shop.

One young girl handed Chen Yiyang a menu.

Curious, Chen Yiyang flipped through it and noticed there was an option for a custom order.

"What does the custom order mean?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.

"Oh, that's more expensive, thirty-one per cup. But you can specify your own ingredients, and we'll mix them on the spot. Just like mixing drinks at a bar."

"Can the taste be guaranteed?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.

"Let's just say, we'll try to make it not taste bad." The girl replied with a smile.

"Alright, then make me a drink with coffee, milk, and tea." Chen Yiyang said.

"Anything else?"

"You decide."

"Okay." The girl nodded.

A dozen minutes later, the little accountant had already finished half her milk tea.

The shop girl then brought over Chen Yiyang's milk tea.

"To be precise, this thing isn't really milk tea, it should be called milk coffee, a blend of milk tea and coffee." The shop girl introduced to Chen Yiyang.

Chen Yiyang took a small taste and found the flavor unexpectedly quite good.

"Boss, haven't you had milk coffee before?" The little accountant beside him said, "Latte, cappuccino, mocha, those are all milk coffees."

"I have tried those. But those coffees have a strong taste, whereas this time the milk tea flavor is more pronounced, feels more suited to everyday tastes."

Chen Yiyang thought for a bit, then took out his phone to call Lin Tao and Jiang City, telling them to come to this small shop.

Half an hour later, the two arrived by car outside the shop.

Chen Yiyang invited them in and had them each order a cup of milk coffee.

Both took a few sips and found the taste indeed quite nice.

"How about we create a sub-brand under Kuxing, using the Kuxing logo, slightly change the name, and focus on selling milk coffee?" Chen Yiyang proposed.

"Sounds like a plan." Jiang City and Lin Tao were intrigued by Chen Yiyang's idea.

The problem Kuxing faces now is.

Without the 9.9 cheap coffee deal, they might not compete with Starbucks in the coffee business. But switching to milk tea might not win against the milk tea giants either.

Yet Kuxing could pave a new path by doing milk coffee.

Strive to become the best at making milk tea in the coffee industry, and the best at making coffee in the milk tea industry.

In this way, they could carve out a new track.

Besides, Kuxing started with coffee and always had experience making milk coffee.

With a slight shift, they could adapt well.

As the three of them talked, they became more excited.

Until the little accountant nearly finished her third cup of milk tea, the shop girl mentioned it was closing time, prompting the trio to leave the milk tea shop.

After a night's sleep.

The next day, Chen Yiyang glanced at his phone.

Today's intel, sports meet commemorative medal: Ludao City's Fuming District, Summer River Road vintage market, a Ludao University 1930, ninth-anniversary sports meet commemorative medal for sale. Successfully grab it for under a hundred yuan.

Related images and location are attached on the second page.

Today's bargain is rather ordinary.

One look and Chen Yiyang knew there wasn't much money to be made from this find.

But he hadn't been to Ludao City's vintage market yet.

Idle as he was, he decided to check it out.

This place had an antique city on one side, a furniture market on the other.

It was lively indeed, with all sorts of things being sold.

Even with Chen Yiyang's current knowledge, after a full round, he found many things he had never seen before.

As for that commemorative medal, it was easily found.

The medal was tossed among miscellaneous items at a stall, where a few yuan could buy something.

Chen Yiyang picked up the medal and inquired about the price.

The stall owner quoted twenty yuan, and Chen Yiyang bargained it to fifteen yuan.

Originally wanting to haggle more, the stall owner, fearing Chen Yiyang would back out, sold it for five yuan directly.

Thus, Chen Yiyang had to pay and took the medal in his hand.

The Xiamen University ninth-anniversary sports meet medal, front and back.

This thing really wasn't valuable, and the workmanship was rough.

But it held significant historical value.

Chen Yiyang had a friend who graduated from Ludao University, he could give this to him later.

After leaving the vintage market, Chen Yiyang took a cab to Kuxing Company.

The little accountant was there today as well, as she needed to audit Kuxing's finances.

As Kuxing faced a transformation, financial issues were of utmost importance.

They couldn't afford to face a shortage of funds halfway through the transformation.

Otherwise, Chen Yiyang would have to subsidize it himself.

If a large company like Kuxing had a funding gap, it wouldn't be a small amount.

Chen Yiyang's main cash cows currently could provide him with several million in cash monthly.

By then, he might have to pour it all into Kuxing.

"By the way," Chen Yiyang said to the little accountant as they walked side by side towards the meeting room.

"Have the company reimburse the milk tea money from last night."

"Boss, you want to expense that?!" The little accountant was dumbfounded.

Last night, the four of them only drank a bit over a hundred yuan worth of milk tea.

"We discussed the company's future development while drinking milk tea last night, didn't we? Isn't that considered business?

Since it's business, what's the issue with the company reimbursing it? I'm not drinking it for myself.

Besides, I haven't even requested overtime pay for the three cups, which is already a big sacrifice for the company."

"So you want me to, on my first day at Kuxing, have the first task of asking Kuxing's finance to reimburse milk tea money for you?"

"It's over a hundred yuan." Chen Yiyang patted the little accountant's shoulder and said,

"Think of it, when I become the richest person in the world, I'll write a book. I've even thought of the title, 'How to Become the World's Richest by Saving Money.'

Then I can write in the book that even when I was worth tens of billions, I basically spent nothing every day, being frugal for the company's development.

If I even have to pay for the milk tea money of over a hundred yuan myself, wouldn't that show I live a life of luxury, which is inconsistent with the thrifty style of a rich man."

"You're something else," the little accountant was speechless, giving Chen Yiyang a thumbs up.

"I'll relay your words verbatim to Kuxing's finance department."
