My fruit shop became popular in the world

After closing today, the fruit shop is still brightly lit.

All the clerks sat around the counter that was temporarily used as a conference table, staring wide-eyed, wondering why the boss suddenly asked them to stay for the meeting.

"It's getting late, so I'll make a long story short." Xuan Chu tapped his knuckles to signal everyone to pay attention, "I plan to launch fruit gift boxes in our fruit shop."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Xiao Qin: "Boss, can I ask why you suddenly have this idea?"

Xuan Chu built his hands into a tower shape, resting them on his chin, his eyes flashed brightly, and he asked instead: "What do you think?"

Yonago hesitated for a while, and whispered, "Is it for the high-end route?"

"Very correct." Xuan Chu snapped his fingers and nodded with a smile.

"But aren't we high-end enough now? The price is much higher than ordinary fruits." Sun Lang scratched his head puzzled.

"You're wrong." Xuan Chu shook his head, "High price and high-end sound a bit similar, but they are actually two different concepts. The former is mostly linked to quality, after all, you get what you pay for. The latter cannot be said to be related to quality. It’s irrelevant, but just because it’s of good quality doesn’t mean it’s high-end.”

"The jams in our store have always been selling well, not only because they are delicious, but also because the packaging of the jams is beautiful. Similarly, if other products are replaced with more beautiful packaging, with the same quality, they can sell more. High prices."

"Of course, considering the different needs of customers, the packaging can be divided into two types, ordinary packaging and gift box packaging. Usually, you can choose ordinary packaging for yourself, and gift box packaging is more face-saving for gifting."

Zhang Chao agreed: "In fact, I occasionally met customers who asked if there was a better-looking package, and wanted to buy it as a gift, which shows that there is a certain market for it."

Xuanchu: "Today, I deliberately left everyone here for a meeting, just to ask for your opinions and suggestions. What kind of packaging do you think is more in line with the positioning and image of our fruit shop?"

"Shouldn't it be a high-end one?" Sun Lang suggested, "You can refer to the packaging of tea and wine. It is very classy at first glance, and it will be more face-saving as a gift."

Zhang Chao put forward a different opinion: "I think it is better to be more refined and fashionable. Most of the customers in our store are young people, and we should give more consideration to their preferences. I think the jam series we launched before was very successful. You can refer to this Do."

Xiao Qin raised his hand: "When it comes to what young people like, I have an idea."

Xuan Chu: "Tell me."

Xiao Qin: "I followed a painter on Weibo. She has been serializing fruit anthropomorphic cartoons. Maybe we can ask her to paint our packaging."

"What does fruit anthropomorphism mean?" Xuan Chu asked curiously when he heard this word for the first time.

"That's it, let the fruit appear in the image of a human being." Xiao Qin found out the painter named "A Little Transparent" in the Weibo follow list, "Here, the comic she drew is called "Fruit Kingdom". The story is very interesting and warm, and I feel that it fits well with the positioning of our fruit shop."

"Let me see..." Xuan Chu took the phone with great interest.

"What's the matter with you, are you feeling unwell?" Zhang Chao noticed Yonago's strange expression and asked with concern.

"Is Xiaomi okay?" Xuan Chu raised his head.

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Yonago panicked immediately, his cheeks were hot, he hesitated and said, "No, nothing, just, just a little tired..."

Her voice became smaller and lower, her head lowered lower and lower, she really looked tired.

Xuan Chu clapped his hands: "Well, it's getting late, so let's adjourn the meeting first. Xiao Qin, I think your proposal is not bad, so I will leave this matter to you. You are in charge of contacting this painter. What's the matter?" Come to me with any questions."

"Good boss, I promise to complete the task." Xiao Qin, who was entrusted with the important task, raised his hand to his ear and saluted seriously.

"Wait, Xiaomi, you stay here."

Hearing this call, Yonago almost jumped up, his heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.For a moment, she thought her vest had fallen off.

"Boss, boss?" She turned around tremblingly.

Xuan Chu showed concern: "Should I send you back? I feel that you are not in good spirits."

"No need!" Yonago roared.

Xuan Chu was stunned. In his impression, the girl Xiaomi was always soft-spoken and quiet, which was extremely rare.

"Uh, I mean it's okay, I'm awake now, and I can walk by myself." Yonago also realized his abnormality, blushed and whispered, and returned to his usual shy and timid appearance.

Seeing that Yonago insisted on not being sent, Xuanchu had no choice but to agree, telling her to be careful on the way, and to report safety in the group when she got home.

Seeing her gradually disappearing back, Xuan Chu frowned slightly, and said to himself: "Xiaomi is acting weird today."

In the fruit shop, Chang Xiao, who seemed to be concentrating on playing games, raised his head quickly, his dark eyes showed no emotion at all.

***

Not long after, Xiao Qin reported to Xuan Chu about the communication with "A Little Transparent".

"The painter is very happy to take over our business." Xiao Qin said happily.

She didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so she made a request in a private message in the background, and the other party immediately agreed, and all the excuses she had prepared were useless.

Not only that, when she asked the price cautiously, the painter's wife gave an unexpectedly low price.

"So cheap?" Xuan Chu was also surprised when he heard the quotation.

Xiao Qin: "The painter said that she gave us a friendly price because she likes our fruit shop very much."

Otherwise, with the number of fans of "a small transparent", the price will at least double.

Xuan Chu couldn't help saying: "I really hope that there are more 'best friends' like this, the better."

When the two were talking, Yonago happened to pass by, and when he heard Xuan Chu's emotion, he pursed his lips, feeling a little hot at the base of his ears.

In fact, if it wasn't for fear of causing unnecessary suspicion, she wouldn't even want to accept money. "Fruit Kingdom" has the current achievements, and the wonderful fruit shop is also a credit, and she is happy to repay the boss and the fruit shop.

At this moment, Xuan Chu saw her, and greeted her warmly: "Hey, Xiaomi, we are discussing about gift box packaging, do you have any ideas?"

With a "teng", Yonago Yi's blushing face completely burned up. She didn't know where to put her hands and feet for a while, and she stammered and couldn't speak a complete sentence.

Xuan Chu didn't know why, so he leaned closer and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Shocked and flustered, Yonago fled at a loss, leaving behind a bewildered Xuanchu.

"What's wrong with her?" Xuan Chu asked Xiao Qin.

Xiao Qin also looked confused: "I don't know."

Yonago ran to a place where there was no one in a hurry, covered his chest with his hands, and clearly felt the powerful beating of his heart under his palms.

"call--"

She breathed a sigh of relief when a deep and quiet voice suddenly sounded behind her: "What are you doing?"

There was a thin layer of sweat on her back, she turned around awkwardly, pinched the corner of her clothes, lowered her head and called "Brother Lin" in a low voice.

Chang Xiao looked down at her condescendingly, his eyes were deep and gloomy, as if he wanted to see through her.

Yonago's scalp was numb, and he stammered, "Then what, I still have work to do, so I'll go get busy first."

Staring at her leaving in embarrassment, Chang Xiao Mo's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.

***

During afternoon tea time, Xuan Chu found that there was one person missing, and asked, "Why didn't Xiaomi come out?"

Xiao Qin was peeling the rambutan in his hand, and said casually: "Oh, I went to call her just now, she seems to be busy, let's eat it first—hiss!"

"Be careful, the rambutan is not peeled like you." Xuanchu pointed her, "You can't pick it with your fingernails, it's difficult to peel and it's easy to hurt your hands. You hold both ends of it with your hands, and turn it in different directions like twisting a bottle cap. Twist, look, this will come out."

Rambutan has a strange shape that is common in tropical fruits, and the peel is covered with fangs and claws, which can easily hurt your hands if you are not careful.

The pulp inside is translucent and milky white, and it is a bit like lychee in appearance and flavor, so it is also called Mao lychee.

However, compared with lychee, rambutan is not so sweet, but it is more fragrant and juicy, and the meat is crisp and refreshing.

After Xuanchu demonstrated to Xiao Qin, he handed the peeled rambutan to Chang Xiao.

The man was slightly startled, subconsciously raised his head, and bumped into a pair of clear smiling eyes.

Xuan Chu pouted his lips, motioned for him to continue, and said with a smile: "Cousin, it seems that you are not good at peeling rambutan."

Chang Xiao glanced at the red fruit in his hand that had almost had its thorns removed, but the skin was intact, and fell silent. After all, he took it, put it in his mouth, bit it lightly, and the juice burst in his mouth.

It's too sweet to panic.

Xuanchu peeled off a few more rambutans, but they were placed on a plate alone. The flesh was like creamy white jade, with a warm and soft radiance on the surface, and the fingers that were twisting the flesh were almost transparent white, making people feel like they were is blasphemy.

Changxiao seemed to be concentrating on peeling the rambutan fruit, but he followed Xuanchu's every move from the corner of his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled into a very inconspicuous arc.

He thought with all his heart that this plate of rambutan must be stripped to himself.

However, when Xuan Chu peeled a plate full of fruit, wiped his fingers, picked up the plate, and walked in another direction.

Chang Xiao, who was ready to receive the feeding: "...?"

Fortunately, Xiao Qin questioned his soul for him: "Boss, why are you going?"

Xuan Chu: "Oh, isn't Xiaomi busy? I'm afraid I don't have time to go out to eat some fruit. I'll send some to her."

"I come."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Chang Xiao regretted it. He found that everyone was staring at him, his jaw dropped in shock.

Xuan Chu was stunned for a moment, but soon came back to his senses, and handed him the fruit plate with an encouraging expression on his face.

"..."

Chang Xiao felt that everyone probably misunderstood something.

Now, he had no choice but to take the fruit plate, and walked towards Xiaomi's office with stiff limbs under the meaningful eyes of everyone.

The door is ajar, through the crack of the door, you can see Yonago is drawing something on the digital board, looking very devoted, with a faint smile on his lips.

Chang Xiao raised an eyebrow, raised his hand and knocked on the door twice.

Hearing the movement, she snapped the tablet to the table in a panic, and almost knocked the water glass off the table in her haste.

"Brother Lin, why are you here?" She managed to hold the cup steady, and forced an unnatural smile.

Chang Xiao's gaze swept across the upside-down digital tablet, and settled on her face, with a gloomy complexion, like the sky before the storm.

"What are you doing?" He put the fruit plate on the table, and the porcelain plate made a crisp impact on the table, scratching the eardrum.

Yonago shivered involuntarily, feeling a chill down his back.

"I, I'm drawing..." She lowered her head, her lips trembled, and her voice was like a gnat.

"Show me." Chang Xiao sneered.

"This, this is not good." Yonago hugged the tablet and said softly, "This is my privacy."

Chang Xiao snorted coldly: "Is it privacy, or is it because of shame?"

Yonago suddenly raised his head and looked at him in shock, his cheeks were flushed, and his eyelashes kept trembling as if they couldn't bear the weight of the air.

"Why, did I hit the mark?" Chang Xiao said coldly, crossing his arms.

"What happened?" A suspicious voice came from the door.

Xuan Chu looked at the two in surprise, frowning slightly.

"Cousin?" The word "cousin" was particularly strong.

Chang Xiao looked coldly at Yonago who was about to cry: "You might as well ask her what she is doing secretly in secret."

"I don't!" Yonago shook his head vigorously, tears gushed out, and looked at Xuan Chu pitifully, "Boss, I really don't."

Chang Xiao: "Since there is no one, why are you avoiding us?"

"I..." Yonago hesitated to speak.

Chang Xiao sneered: "I still want to argue—"

"Cousin!" Xuan Chu raised his voice, "I believe in Xiaomi's behavior, there must be a misunderstanding."

Chang Xiao stared at him steadfastly, his eyes were dark, unable to reveal a trace of light.

Xuan Chu's heart tightened, and when he was about to say something, he sneered, "It's up to you."

After saying that, without looking back, he strode out of the room with a gust of heavy wind.

Xuan Chu hesitated for a moment, and decided to deal with the matter in front of him first.

"Xiaomi, tell me, what's going on?" he asked seriously.

Yonago grabbed the hem of his clothes, stared at his toes, and then whispered for a long time: "Boss, I'm sorry, I do have something to hide from everyone... I'm actually a 'little transparent'."

……

Xuan Chu remained calm: "Have you finished?"

Yonago was short of breath, and nodded frightenedly: "It's over, it's over."

She thought, this time it's really over, no matter how good the boss is, he probably won't forgive concealment and deception easily.

Xuan Chu nodded, and said "Oh" expressionlessly.

Yonago closed his eyes nervously, waiting for the storm to come.

Unexpectedly, Xuan Chu burst into laughter: "Why are you so nervous, afraid of being scolded?"

Yonago raised his head and looked at him stupidly.

The corners of Xuanchu's lips curved slightly: "It's too late for me to praise you, how could I scold you? I watched "Fruit Kingdom".

Yonago's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Boss, I..."

"Shh." Xuan Chu put a stick in front of his lips, "There is no need to say thank you, if you can draw a beautiful package, it is the best thank you."

Yonago nodded vigorously, clenched his fists tightly: "I will definitely work hard!"

She did what she said, and then she stayed up for several nights in a row, designing a set of fruit anthropomorphic images——

Apple is a mature and reliable big sister, with short hair and professional attire, and elegant gold-rimmed glasses, full of aura.

Chengzi is a lively and cheerful little girl with a vibrant smile.

Blueberry is a melancholy prince...

"It's so cute and delicate fruit family portrait!" Xiao Qin held the finished drawing, his eyes lit up, "Mrs. Xiao Transparent is forever a god!"

"Let me see, let me see!" Zhang Chao excitedly leaned over, and was amazed, "It's really beautiful, I can see that the painter put a lot of thought into it."

Xuan Chu smiled as he watched the shop assistants praise "Mrs. Fairy's fairy painting skills", turned his head, and smiled with Yonago.

That's right, apart from him, the other clerks don't know the identity of Yonago's vest, which is Yonago's own request.

However, one matter was settled, but Xuan Chu was not at ease in his heart.

Because Chang Xiao disappeared.

The matter started from the day when Chang Xiao left angrily.

After learning about the situation from Yonago, Xuan Chu went to Chang Xiao again, trying to explain the reason to him.

In fact, he already understood at that time that the reason why Changxiao "bullied" Yonago was also because he cared about the fruit shop and suspected that Yonago was plotting something wrong, so he acted like that.

Although a little impulsive, it is not incomprehensible.

But he searched all the places where Chang Xiao could go, but found nothing.

He thought, maybe Changxiao is still angry, and he will come back when his anger subsides.

However, one day passed, two days passed, three days... Changxiao never came back!

The clerks didn't know the truth, so they came to ask him: "Boss, why isn't Cousin Lin here recently?"

Xuanchu was anxious, and afraid of causing unnecessary suspicion, he could only reluctantly twitch the corners of his mouth, and replied, "Oh, he has something to do recently, and he went back to his hometown."

The others were convinced, but Yonago was the only one who felt apprehensive, so he approached Xuanchu privately and asked, "Boss, is Cousin Lin still angry with me and refusing to come back?"

"Don't think too much, it has nothing to do with you." Xuan Chu knew that the girl's thoughts had always been sensitive and delicate, and was afraid that she would be overwhelmed, so he quickly comforted, "Cousin, he really has something to do."

In order to reassure Yonago, he didn't want to show his anxiety on his face, so he could only secretly worry in his heart.

Others are fine, after all, Chang Xiao has just woken up not long ago, and is still very unfamiliar with today's world, in case something happens...

He didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

He also asked Jiu Yao and others to inquire about the situation: "You often run outside, have you found the whereabouts of Changxiao Daojun?"

When he first heard about Changxiao's disappearance, Jiu Yao wanted to mock him.Seeing Xuan Chu's serious expression, he knew that this matter was no small matter, so he shook his head honestly and said, "No."

The solemnity between Xuan Chu's brows became even more serious.

Even with the ability of the Jiufeng clan, they couldn't detect Chang Xiao's traces. Has he left the human world?
