Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2709 - 2645: Even More Famous

"I heard the snacks at Youqingwei are incredibly delicious. I heard you have coupons, right? We all want to give it a try. Can you give us a classmates’ price and let us use the discount coupons? We want to go for a tasting!"

Jiang Xiao was left stunned.

What was unfolding?

Youqingwei had been operational for a considerable period. It was possible that some classmates from Capital City had family members who had patronized the establishment before, but it hadn't experienced such a surge in popularity before, had it?

Jin Lei, standing beside her, offered an explanation with a smile, "This trend was initiated by your roommates. Apparently, you had provided some discount coupons to your roommates earlier. Furthermore, one of your roommates seemed to have worked at your work-study program, correct? She brought back a large box last time, mentioning it was a reward for her diligence and outstanding performance at the workshop. Your roommate couldn’t bring herself to eat them all, so she sought you out. However, you weren’t present..."

Jin Lei admitted with a hint of guilt as he recounted this part: "I encouraged her, and she ended up sharing the snacks among her classmates for them to sample. The classmates who tried them couldn’t stop raving about them afterwards..."

Her roommate? Was it Qin Xiaojun? Or Wang Lili?

And the one working at her workshop, wasn’t that Xie Landi?

Jiang Xiao suddenly recalled that the workshop did indeed offer such rewards.

She hadn’t anticipated Xie Landi performing so exceptionally well to earn a reward within the first month, nor had she expected her to bring the snacks to class instead of consuming them herself.

Jiang Xiao cast a side-long glance at Jin Lei.

This individual quickly interjected, "My intentions were good. I aimed to assist in promoting your establishment, thereby increasing the teahouse’s renown. After tasting the snacks, the classmates formed groups and proceeded to the teahouse."

However, upon arriving at the teahouse, they were apparently taken aback by the prices and returned somewhat sheepishly.

A remark was made suggesting that if Jiang Xiao were the proprietor, everyone could simply demand a discount or something similar. Consequently, they were all anticipating Jiang Xiao’s arrival.

Jiang Xiao found herself caught between amusement and exasperation.

"Jiang Xiao, we all yearn to indulge, but the cost is prohibitive; we simply cannot afford it. Could you offer us a special classmates’ rate?"

"Indeed, Jiang Xiao! I was hoping to send some home as gifts, but they are so costly, making it difficult to purchase. Come now, please, Boss Jiang..."

Perhaps due to Jiang Xiao’s usual demeanor, which projected generosity and magnanimity, her return was perceived by everyone as a playful opportunity to foster a closer connection with her.

"I assured them you would undoubtedly agree to a discount," Jin Lei whispered, covering his mouth as he lowered his voice to speak with her. "I also mentioned that as long as they engage in promotion after making a purchase, that would be sufficient."

He genuinely believed this strategy was sound. His classmates would undoubtedly spread the word, leading to enhanced recognition for Youqingwei and improved business. He felt that one shouldn’t be overly parsimonious in such matters.

Jiang Xiao, in turn, lowered her voice and inquired, "Pray tell, what is your grand design?"

"Haha, how did you surmise? I was contemplating that, given my considerable efforts in promotion, my birthday is approaching in a few days. Might I extend an invitation to friends for a gathering at Youqingwei, and perhaps you could offer a discount then?"

This character!

"Very well, very well. Since we are all classmates, I shall institute a special classmates' price for all of you, a discount of 25%."

"Hooray! Jiang Xiao is simply the best!"

The entire cohort of classmates erupted in cheers.

If their purchases were modest, perhaps just one or two items, a 25% reduction would still permit occasional visits to the teahouse for an immersive experience and sampling.

Most crucially, it appeared that a subtle trend was gaining momentum within the school; patronizing the Youqingwei Teahouse was becoming an increasingly fashionable and sophisticated pursuit.
