My student's my future husband?
(S2) Ep 117. Optimisms

Arsene breathed a sigh of relief as he read a reply from Zaara. Although short, he thinks Zaara is already in better shape now. He's grateful for that. Although he would still be waiting for her the next few days, who had no idea how much longer. Arsene smiled in front of his laptop.

A call came in on his new phone.

“Sen, meeting tomorrow so right?” ask a male voice.

“Iya, we meet at 8 o'clock yes, because at 10 I have a lecture!”

“Ready! I've sorted all the databases you sent!”

“Still Bang Lun!”

Arsene shut the phone. Tomorrow is the inaugural meeting to Re-Opening Sweet Recipes. Arsene is ready to welcome the day, his hopes are now looming. But he realized, there is a God who holds the best plan. The young man is ready to put forth his best efforts and prayers for tomorrow and the days ahead.

At exactly 8 a.m., Sweet Recipes' new team had gathered at the bottom floor of the store for the inaugural meeting. Ferdian was also there to monitor his son's leadership so that the initial meeting gave a tremendous injection of energy to live out the days ahead. They consist of 8 people. 2 pastry chefs, 1 marketing person, 1 graphic designer, 1 financial manager, Alice, 1 customer service person, also Arsene and Ferdian.

The current concept of Sweet Recipes, they will provide many menus that can be taken by customers themselves. Ferdian has read and recorded that local and out-of-town tourists are increasing, especially every weekend. Their level of consumption also increases with social media. So, utilizing social media is certainly very important to raise the image of their current store. This is what will spearhead the marketing of the Sweet Recipes store to bring in new customers.

The previous customer database was recorded neatly. This will make marketing promo easier. The marketing team will create content with hypnotic copywriting and of course with attractive promos at the Re-Opening Sweet Recipes event. Old customers are positioned like special guests, because they are the ones who will enliven this event. They are entitled to attractive promos that will not be obtained by new visitors.

“I have made some copywriting, and this is ready for me to broadcast to all contact numbers in the database!” said Lunar, a head of digital marketing who has worked at Ferdian company for several years.

Arsene listened to some of the content that had been prepared by his store marketing team. Lunar skills need not be doubted.

“Udah deal with this promo for old customers?” tanya Lunar, the 25-year-old man.

There it is written that old customers will get a discount of 30% for each transaction in Sweet Recipes for two days on the weekend, at least for every purchase of 5 specific products. Analyzed from a database of old customers, usually they rarely buy one product only. They often buy more than 2 products of the same or different types. The promo is only valid for old customers, so the promotion will not be widely spread on social media.

Arsene looked at his father who was thinking.

“Can it! We are still in the starting position, even though this store has stood before huh? But this Reopening is like we started over. Importantly, the kitchen billows constantly, the stock runs out, the money goes out, and the customers come on and on. For profit may be small, but it's okay, which is important many new customers later who will finally repeat the order,” Ferdian explained.

Arsene nodded.

“Terus for new customers how?” ask Arsene.

“For prospective new customers, we hold a promo buy 2 get 1. They can also get promo vouchers again for their next purchase. So they can go back to this store. Surely we limit yes promo it,” Lunar bright.

“What old customers can also voucher again after shopping?” ask Alice.

“Iya, all customers will be able to. That let them keep coming to our store!” answer Lunar.

“I agree!” arsene.

“We will make this store survive first for three to six months with the promos. With hope, prospective customers can be converted into repeat customers. After that we genjot turnover!” ferdian.

“Yup! We will net a lot of prospective customers to come to our store. So try the chefs and customer service here to provide the best service, so they will not be able to refuse promos and products here!” continue Lunar.

“Which design, Dave?” asked Ferdian to the young man who graduated in design 24 years old.

“This Mr Boss!” he said while showing his laptop screen.

Everything looked at the young man's masterpiece which was dominated by contrasting colors of red, yellow, and white. The product photos there look even more beautiful.

“Kereeeen!” arsene and Alice said.

The marketing team and designers have already worked first. They have already published some images on the social media account Sweet Recipes as a feed for old customers and potential new customers. In fact, they have implemented a marketing strategy that is known to be powerful in bringing consumers. The results will be visible at the event in 4 days.

Arsene himself had long ago provided skill training for two chefs who would help him in the kitchen. They have tried several times to follow the technique done by Arsene. They also imitate it so that when they make one product, it tastes a lot like the man-made graduates of the best cooking academy in the world.

“Sen, you also have to personal branding dong! That is very powerful for new consumers. Moreover, you are handsome, still young, the main chef is here!” lunar said.

Arsene blushed. He rarely takes care of his social media accounts.

“Wah more famous and popular dong lu, Cen!” sahut Alice's.

“Nothing dong, for the sake of the store, yes no?! Cobain deh, even though we will also display your photos on Sweet Recipe!” medsos

“Do not have to upload your photos too, Sen! You can post photos of your activities in the kitchen, take photos of cake recipes that you have made here continue to write words that seem like you are talking to your followers. Once in a while just upload your photo, let the girls on come here! They are the biggest target market!”

“Awas there are jealous!” gangbug Alice.

“Yee is for marketing. Privacy does not need to be there. Once is okay!” lunar said.

“Iya deh, I'll try!” Arsene ICap.

“Emang your follower how many cents?” ask Lunar.

“12thousand! Never posted anything, hehe!” Arsene admits he does not exist.

“Wooahh pretty or so mah to datengin prospective customers. Later Sweet Recipes account will continue to mention your account, will definitely add!”

“Sipp later Brother try yes?!” shoot Ferdian.

“Iya!”

The meeting was completed just before 10, as Arsene had to attend his lectures. The meeting opened his insight again related to managing the business, especially now that his father was also immediately involved in helping and accompanying him. The people around him are also professionals. Now he has to put high optimism on his business. Also on his relationship with Zaara, though he still has to wait. He hopes everything goes well.

Arsene walked to his class, the article is 10 minutes away from the midterm exam Writing class will begin. He hurried to the stairs.

Students passed by crowded in front of the corridor, making his steps was hampered. There was a cultural festival held that week. Many bazars are held by students who wear traditional clothes and are typical of certain cultures so that it makes it difficult to walk because it is too narrow.

"Hana!" call a voice from where Arsene is standing right now. A voice he was very familiar with. Feels very close.

I don't know why his heart was pounding considering his pent-up longing. Instantly he turned.

BRUISES.

Someone fell on his body, because he was not ready, Arsene also fell with a position sitting holding the body of someone in front of him.

"Astaghfirullah's. Sorry not intentionally!" said the light brown hijab-wearing girl who immediately stood up in shock. He did not see Arsene's face because he kept bowing.

Arsene immediately stood up, their gazes meeting each other. Astounded.

"Revelation!"

Arsene pulled the girl's arm and held her against the wall as two men carrying a large table passed through the narrow hallway of building B.

DEG. Their faces were both flushed in that moment that felt so close. The feeling of heat extends throughout the body for a few seconds. Their breath was restrained. The girl looked at Arsene's face.

"Ang?!" said Zaara slowly.

Arsene is swallowing his saliva. Nervous.

Moments of time it stopped.

The two pairs of beads they were still meeting each other and locking. The dilation on the chest felt increasingly tight.

"Sorry I have to go!" said Zaara bowed in front of Arsene's body.

Arsene stepped back. He smiled a little at the face he missed, then replied. His heart felt floating.
