Free Web NovelChapter 149: Chapter 149: Lu Yunque Comes to the Milk Tea Shop
"It’s fine. Have you written the recruitment notice? I’ll have Zero One and the others take it to a print shop to get it printed and posted outside."
Yun Zijin didn’t voice her suspicion. If something was really going on, that person would definitely be back.
No matter what their motive was, as long as their milk tea shop was operating legally and by the book, there was nothing they could do to them.
"I’ve already drafted the text. I even borrowed a computer from Aunt Wang yesterday to do the layout. I’ll send you the file."
Right now, Qin Sitong was the only one in the shop who knew how to make all the milk teas on their menu, so she couldn’t leave.
After receiving the file, Yun Zijin sent it to Zero One.
Of course, Zero One wouldn’t run this errand himself. Yesterday it was Ling Qi; today it was Ling Lu’s turn.
"Boss, are you hiring?"
Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong hadn’t deliberately lowered their voices, so the customers who chose to drink in the shop and were sitting nearby overheard their conversation.
"That’s right. If you know anyone suitable, feel free to have them come in for an interview."
However, Yun Zijin made no guarantees about whether they’d be hired.
"Boss! If we refer someone, can we pre-order a Wangyou Milk Tea?"
Two hundred cups a day might sound like a lot, but once the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop’s reputation spread, they might not even be able to get one out of five hundred.
"The shop isn’t taking pre-orders yet. If we do in the future, we’ll be sure to let everyone know."
Yun Zijin didn’t give these customers an opening to push their luck. The limit was two hundred cups a day, and she wasn’t going to change that.
Seeing Yun Zijin’s refusal, those customers didn’t say anything more.
Outside the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop, a Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up to the entrance. A man got out of the driver’s seat, walked quickly to the rear passenger door, and opened it.
If Yun Zijin had been at the door, she would have recognized the man from the driver’s seat as Lu Yunque’s assistant—Mo Bin.
And after Mo Bin opened the door, the person who stepped out was, indeed, Lu Yunque.
Before entering the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop, Lu Yunque glanced up at the sign to confirm he was in the right place, then stepped inside.
Lu Yunque was the kind of person who naturally stood out in a crowd, so the moment he walked into the milk tea shop, Yun Zijin noticed him.
Though she wondered why Lu Yunque, the CEO of the Lu Family, would come into a milk tea shop, she was tactful enough not to ask.
"I didn’t expect a big-shot CEO like you would visit a milk tea shop. What can I get for you?"
Seeing Lu Yunque appear in the milk tea shop gave Yun Zijin a strange feeling... as if the illusion was shattering.
The aura of a domineering CEO was ruined just like that.
"Wangyou Milk Tea."
Lu Yunfeng had been bragging about it in the family group chat all day yesterday, but Lu Yunque was still at the company at the time and didn’t get to try it.
Today, someone was needed for a meeting regarding the Lu Family’s donation of a comprehensive laboratory building to Dijing University.
Given his position, he normally wouldn’t have needed to come. But he remembered Lu Yunfeng saying that Yun Zijin would be at the shop for the first three days of its opening, so Lu Yunque took the task upon himself.
"Alright. And Assistant Mo? What would you like?"
Yun Zijin looked at Mo Bin, who had been standing quietly behind Lu Yunque.
"I... I’ll have the same as the President."
"Okay! With the grand opening 20% discount, that’s 140 yuan for two."
Mo Bin took out his phone and quickly scanned the code to pay.
’Who could understand my pain? I go on one trip and lose the money for a cup of milk tea.’
"It’s on me today."
After saying that, Lu Yunque took out his phone and transferred 140 yuan to Mo Bin.
Mo Bin: ’I take back my previous complaint! The President is still the same brilliant, decisive, and invincible leader!’
Watching their interaction, Yun Zijin felt a strange spark, as if she were seeing a ship set sail.
After Yun Zijin took the order, Qin Sitong was about to start making the drinks, but Yun Zijin stopped her.
"Why don’t you take a break? I’ll make theirs."
Hearing that Yun Zijin was going to make his drink personally, the corners of Lu Yunque’s lips curved up slightly, and his expression seemed to soften considerably.
But then he remembered that Mo Bin would be getting one too, and the feeling soured a little.
Yun Zijin, oblivious to Lu Yunque’s petty calculations, skillfully followed the steps to make the Wangyou Milk Tea.
"Would you like to have these here or take them to go?"
After all, Lu Yunque was the CEO of the Lu Family, a man who handled countless matters every day. Yun Zijin naturally assumed he wouldn’t have time to waste drinking milk tea.
"We’ll have them here."
Mo Bin was just about to say that the President had something to attend to later and that they should get the drinks to go. He never expected Lu Yunque to speak up himself, and his words left Mo Bin completely stunned.
"President..."
Lu Yunque shot Mo Bin a look, successfully silencing him.
’Well, the meeting is this afternoon,’ Mo Bin thought. ’As long as we don’t take too long, it won’t be affected.’
’If worst comes to worst, I can just notify the other attendees to switch to a video conference.’
"Alright, then I’ll bring them over for you."
Yun Zijin poured the finished Wangyou Milk Tea into glass cups, added a garnish, placed them on a tray, and was about to pick it up.
"No, no! I’ll get it! Um, the President might need to talk to Miss Yun about the donation for the comprehensive laboratory building."
Since the matter had been raised with her, Lu Yunque took it seriously.
"Oh, right. We still haven’t settled the details on that. Tongtong, I’m going to go talk things over with him. Will you be okay here by yourself?"
At this hour, most people were out for lunch, so the shop wasn’t very crowded.
"No problem! Go ahead!"
From the moment Lu Yunque walked into the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop, Qin Sitong had thought he was breathtaking.
But the moment she realized the handsome man knew Yun Zijin, the dormant shipper instincts in her DNA roared to life.
’A cool and stunningly beautiful heiress versus a noble, stoic scion of a wealthy family... I’d be sad if anyone *wasn’t* shipping this!’
Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque walked ahead, with Mo Bin following behind them, carrying the two cups of milk tea.
Once Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque found a table and sat down, Mo Bin very tactfully placed the two cups of milk tea from the tray in front of each of them.
"Miss Yun, please, you have this one! I’ll go buy another."
With that, he took the tray and scurried off.
"This... Assistant Mo was the one who ordered it. Wouldn’t it be wrong for me to drink it?"
Yun Zijin felt that something was a bit strange.
"Go ahead and drink it. I’ll reimburse him for the one he’s buying now."
Seeing Yun Zijin’s hesitation, Lu Yunque persuaded her.
These two cups were made by Yun Zijin herself. It was only natural that she should drink one.
With Lu Yunque putting it that way, Yun Zijin no longer felt burdened.
Next, Lu Yunque took the donation contract between the Lu Family and Dijing University out of the briefcase Mo Bin had placed on an empty seat and handed it to Yun Zijin.
"This is the first draft of the contract. Neither party has signed it yet.
There will probably be some revisions later, but the broad strokes won’t change.
If you confirm your donation, I’ll have someone add your name to the contract."
Yun Zijin took the contract from Lu Yunque’s hands and began to carefully read the terms inside.
After a long while, Yun Zijin put the contract down.
"It looks good. However, for some personal reasons... regarding my one billion, I was hoping I could transfer it in installments of five million per day. Would you be able to accept that?"
