Conan: Top succubus, crazy CP

"Hey? Xiao Ai, why did you go change your clothes? Come and eat dumplings~"

Yuanzi carefully brought out the cooked dumplings from the kitchen and loudly and cheerfully called out to Xiaoai who was slowly walking down from upstairs.

Xiao Ai: “…”

Listening to what Sonoko said, Xiao Ai didn't want to answer, but just glared at Hanyu Kusunoki who went to the kitchen to help serve dumplings with resentment.

I thought she wanted to change!

But my clothes are all wet, I have to change them!

I can't eat dinner in wet clothes...

After Hanyu Kusunoki and several other girls brought out all the cooked dumplings, Sonoko was the first to impatiently push out the chocolate-filled dumplings she had cooked herself.

"Nan, try it quickly. Try it and see if it tastes good."

"Okay, let me try out our Miss Yuanzi's scientific research results."

With a smile on her face, Hanyu Kusunoki picked up a dumpling from the bowl with her chopsticks, put it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully.

Judging from the appearance alone, there is not much difference from normal dumplings, except that the shape is a little uglier and not so regular.

"How is it? How is it? How does it taste?"

Sonoko asked, staring at Hanyu Kusunoki expectantly.

Mingmei, Xiaolan and Xiaoai who were standing next to them were also looking at Hanyu Kusunoki who was tasting the food curiously, waiting for his evaluation.

Hanyu Kusunoki savored the food in his mouth, feeling the slight sweetness, and then chewed it for a few times. He was surprised to find that it was not as bad as he had imagined. Instead, it had a different taste, a bit like glutinous rice balls.

"How does it taste..." He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a satisfied smile, and said, "Great! It's really a genius invention!"

"Yeah!" Hearing the compliment, Yuanzi excitedly slapped the table and stood up, her face filled with pride, "I knew I was a genius!"

This was not the end. She continued, "Nan, I've decided. I want to open a dumpling shop specializing in selling dumplings with chocolate fillings, and in a variety of different flavors!"

"Okay, I'll invest in this project!"

Hanyu Kusunoki raised his hand in agreement.

"Is it really so delicious?"

Looking at Sonoko, who was holding her hands together in front of her chest, and looking excited, she was discussing with Hanyu Kusunoki how to make the dumpling shop bigger and stronger and create greater glory.

Mingmei and the other two girls were skeptical and each took a dumpling to taste it.

"Oh, it's really good!" Xiaolan gave her own fair evaluation.

Mingmei followed closely behind: "Sonoko really did a great job, it exceeded my expectations!"

Even Xiao Ai, who was the most picky, nodded silently after seeing that everyone agreed, "It's indeed a novel idea."

Although it can’t be said to be particularly delicious, it’s worth seeing who made it.

If someone like Xiaolan or Mingmei, who usually have perfect cooking skills, made this kind of dumplings, it would definitely be a failure.

But if someone like Yuanzi, whose cooking skills are usually subpar, can make dumplings that don't taste particularly bad, then he must be given full marks.

After all, people cannot be generalized.

Yuanzi was immediately elated by everyone's praise, and they spent the entire dinner time enthusiastically discussing how to open a good store.

This shocked everyone who originally thought she was joking.

Really? You're serious!

However, seeing Sonoko's confident look, Xiaolan and the others also became interested and started to offer suggestions.

Yuanzi said excitedly: "I think we should find a busy area to open a store, so that we can attract more customers."

Xiaolan thought for a moment and said, "But the rent in a busy area will be very high, and the competition will be fierce."

Mingmei suggested: "We can consider some emerging business districts or communities, where there may be greater room for development."

Xiao Ai said: "The taste of dumplings and service quality are the key. We need to ensure that customers can get used to eating them."

Sonoko nodded repeatedly, indicating that she agreed with Ai's point of view.

Xiaolan went on to say: "We can also launch some special dumplings and promotions to attract more new customers."

Mingmei added: “Yes, we can use social media and online platforms to promote and expand the store’s visibility.”

The more Yuanzi listened, the more excited she became, as if she had already seen her shop doing booming business.

After a night of discussion and consultation, several people finally decided on a feasible plan.

First, Sonoko will use her huge pocket money to bear most of the funds for opening the store, take a 40% stake, and serve as the general manager.

Her task is to use her unique creativity and genius imagination to continuously improve the taste and quality of the dumplings in the store.

Xiaolan also took out the private money she had saved over the years to support her best friend Sonoko. She will invest part of the funds, obtain 10% of the shares, and serve as deputy store manager.

Her daily job is to help out in the store after school and on weekends to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Sisters Mingmei and Xiaoai also actively participated in it.

They decided to invest the salary given to them by Hanyu Kusunoki, and each of them would own 10% of the shares.

Mingmei's position is also deputy store manager. Her responsibilities are to recruit suitable employees and provide training. She is also responsible for the store's publicity and promotion, and strives to increase the store's popularity and influence.

Xiao Ai is the financial director and is responsible for the dumpling shop's financial reports. She uses her intelligence and rigorous attitude to prevent employees from embezzlement and bribery, and from falsifying financial reports, ensuring that the store's financial situation is clear and transparent.

As for the remaining Hanyu Kusunoki, she didn't have to do anything, but she was given 30% of the shares. Her position was honorary store manager. Her usual job was to be a mascot and cheer for the girls.

They have already thought of the name of the store, it is called:

《Nanyuan Creative Dumpling Shop》

When the company becomes bigger and stronger and the chain is successfully listed, it can be renamed Nanyuan Headquarters, Nanyuan Group, Nanyuan Consortium...

Looking at the girls who were enthusiastically eating dumplings and discussing the location of the store, Hanyu Kusunoki supported his chin with a gentle smile on his face.

Warm and ordinary, ordinary and happy.

This is the life he likes most!

Outside the window, the breeze blows gently, and the moonlight sprinkles on the ground like water, forming patches of mottled light and shadows, like a dream.

Inside the house, the joyful atmosphere continued to heat up, and everyone's hearts were filled with beautiful visions of the future, as if they had already seen the dumpling shop's booming business.

……

the next day.

"Get up, the sun is shining on your butt!"

After washing up, Hanyu Kusunoki walked to the bedside and patted Sonoko, who was still curled up in the quilt and sleeping soundly, twice.

"Ouch, Nan~" Yuanzi pouted, subconsciously covering her hips with both hands, and said coquettishly, "Please let me sleep for a while, sleep for a while~"

"Haha, didn't you say that you would go choose a store location with Xiaolan after school today? If you don't get up, you'll be late!"
