Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

Chapter 628: Chapter 222: Can a full body massage reduce swelling?_4

Li Yuan coughed, feeling a bit guilty as he explained, "Well, for example, say a boy falls for a girl, but she doesn’t like him back. The boy is so devoted that he wants to give her everything. He scrimps and saves, all just to buy her gifts..."

"Ahem, Little Moon, why are you looking at me like that? I’m speaking metaphorically, metaphorically, you understand?"

Zhong Tingyue gave Li Yuan a meaningful glance, smiling without a word. This is so strange. It seems like a certain someone also chased a girl like that back in high school... though it wasn’t exactly the same.

The peculiar look in her eyes made Li Yuan’s scalp tingle. The more I talk, the more it feels like I’m looking in a mirror...

"Ahem, Little Moon, that’s roughly what I mean. In fact, major retailers love this method. It’s just like those brand-name stores we’ve visited. They prioritize hiring attractive staff—that’s the ’attractiveness effect’ in action... It’s not like I just want to hire more pretty saleswomen!"

Of course, Zhong Tingyue understood what Li Yuan was saying. Internally, she completely agreed with the concept of the "simp economy." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

She had encountered such situations before, but she had always rejected them outright. However, not all girls were so quick to refuse gifts from their suitors—or "simps," as some might call them.

"Hmm, Senior, I get your point," Zhong Tingyue said, grinning at Li Yuan.

"So, when do we start recruiting? And what about the factory, warehouse, and trademark? I feel like there’s still so much to do."

Li Yuan nodded. "Yes, there’s a lot to do. Starting a tea drink brand isn’t easy. There are countless tasks that need our attention."

Li Yuan ran a hand along Zhong Tingyue’s long leg and pinched her cheek with his other, smiling as he said, "Little Moon, you’ve been working hard recently. You’ve even gotten a bit thinner in some places."

Zhong Tingyue’s cheeks flushed as she asked, "Senior, Shanshan and Tingrou have also been a big help recently. They’ve been helping me with research and drafting plans. What do you think about hiring them as part-timers for our company?"

Li Yuan gave a careless laugh. "That’s a small thing. You can just decide on your own."

Zhong Tingyue rolled her eyes at Li Yuan and chuckled, pressing her lips together. "You’re the boss, the one in charge of the money. I’m the boss’s wife, the one in charge of getting things done."

Li Yuan laughed heartily. After working through her issues, Zhong Tingyue’s personality had become much more interesting. She could often make him erupt into joyous laughter, and he cherished the way she lifted his spirits.

"Alright, Little Moon, let’s do it your way. Your two roommates are plenty smart, so it’d be great if they can help you out."

"We still have a lot to do. Looking at it now, this storefront really is a bit small. I’ll contact the real estate agency again and buy or rent another space to serve as the headquarters for our milk tea company."

"I’ve been extremely busy lately. I have some new ideas for the Zhihu website that require research and implementation. As for the milk tea company, I need you to take the lead on things like recruitment, R&D, and sourcing channels."

Zhong Tingyue nodded. Of course, I know he’s busy. Not just with the company and his writing, but also with... his other two girlfriends. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"I know, Senior. You can count on me," she said.

Li Yuan nodded. Just then, his phone rang. He took it out and saw the call was from Wang Jun, the real estate manager.

"Mr. Li, I’ve found several listings for the duplexes and large flats you wanted to see. When are you available to take a look?"
