Free Web NovelChapter 150: Chapter 150: Yiyin Media’s Chen Chuan
Lu Yunque hadn’t expected Yun Zijin to make such a request.
But after a moment’s thought, he agreed.
The Lu Family wouldn’t be giving the two billion all at once anyway. Yun Zijin was just asking for more frequent installments. But with daily payments, she wouldn’t have to worry about the account being empty when she needed funds.
Five million a day was more than enough.
Receiving a positive answer, Yun Zijin’s gaze toward Lu Yunque softened considerably.
’For a long time to come, I won’t have to wrack my brain every day trying to figure out how to complete my spending missions.’
It would also save Mei Lin the trouble of having to transfer money to the foundation after her busy days. The matters of the Hongxing Orphanage were already keeping her busy enough.
"Alright. Once the contract is signed, send me the account details. I’ll transfer the money on time every day."
"By the way, you’ll need to be present for the contract signing. After all, one billion is no small sum."
Although one billion might not seem like much to Yun Zijin, objectively, it was still a huge amount of money.
If Yun Zijin wasn’t present, the contract couldn’t be signed successfully.
"Okay, just tell me the time and place. I’ll be there on time."
"It’s almost noon. How are you... how are you two planning to eat?"
Lu Yunque frowned slightly as he watched the steady stream of customers entering the milk tea shop.
In a situation like this, Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong would have no time at all to eat lunch.
"It’s fine. I just had a Wangyou Milk Tea, so I’m not hungry yet.
I think I heard your assistant say you have other plans. If you have something to do, you can go ahead. Don’t worry about us."
With only the two of them in the shop, Yun Zijin never expected they’d be able to eat at a normal time today.
"Skipping meals is bad for your health. Should I have someone deliver food to you?"
Lu Yunque asked Yun Zijin in a consultative tone.
"No, no, we can just order delivery. It’s fast.
You should go take care of your own business. Don’t worry about us. It’s starting to get busy, I’m going to help out!"
With that, Yun Zijin stood up and trotted behind the counter. She started taking orders, freeing up Qin Sitong to focus on making the milk tea.
Having finished his Wangyou Milk Tea, Lu Yunque got up from his seat, walked to the counter to say goodbye to Yun Zijin, and prepared to leave.
"You... you’re Mr. Lu!"
Just as Lu Yunque was about to head for the door, someone stepped in front of him with a look of pleasant surprise. "Mr. Lu, hello! I’m Chen Chuan from Yiyin Media. I can’t believe I’m seeing you here!"
Lu Yunque’s expression soured at being blocked.
"Mr. Chen, our president has a meeting to attend and needs to leave now. Please step aside."
The line of people waiting to order was already taking up some space, and with Chen Chuan now in the way, Lu Yunque had no clear path to the exit.
"Ah! My apologies, my apologies. Please, go ahead! Take care, you two!"
Lu Yunque and Mo Bin went around Chen Chuan, quickly exited the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop, and soon disappeared from sight.
"That guy just now was so handsome!"
"The person with him said he’s their president. The domineering CEO from romance novels suddenly has a face!"
"I finally get it. I understand why the female lead in novels still treats the domineering CEO like her first love even after he’s put her through hell a thousand times over."
"If my boyfriend looked like that, I’d have to slap myself a couple of times whenever we argued!"
"You’re so right! Aaaah! I’m so excited I could die!"
The two girls in line were speaking in hushed tones, but because they were so worked up, their voices were much louder than they realized. Nearly everyone around them heard their slightly uncouth conversation.
Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong exchanged a glance, managing to stifle their laughter.
"You two girls have good taste! That’s the president of the Lu Family. I never would have thought the president of the Lu Family would drink milk tea!"
Chen Chuan, the man who had stopped Lu Yunque earlier, overheard the two girls and, being a total extrovert, sidled over to them.
"What, what? You said he’s the president of the Lu Family?"
The two girls had assumed that, being so young, even if he was a president, it would be for some unknown, obscure company.
They never expected to be told right off the bat that he was the president of the Lu Family. That was a total game-changer!
"Of course. I had the good fortune of seeing him from a distance at a banquet once. The reason I was so excited just now was precisely because he’s the president of the Lu Family."
"I just don’t know what Mr. Lu’s purpose in coming to this milk tea shop is. He can’t be thinking of acquiring it, can he?"
’The Lu Family... no matter how you think about it, it has no connection to a milk tea shop.’
"Have you not tried this shop’s signature milk tea?"
The two girls looked at Chen Chuan with confusion.
"What?"
"The Wangyou Milk Tea! We were just passing by on our way back to school yesterday, so we came in and bought some. It was an amazing surprise! We came here specially today!"
If it weren’t for the Wangyou Milk Tea, they wouldn’t have left their dorm today.
"Listening to you two, I’m getting a little curious myself."
"You should buy it! The grand opening promotion is 20% off. Today and tomorrow are the last days, it goes back to the original price the day after."
"With 20% off, you save eighteen yuan per cup!"
"Alright! Since you two lovely ladies recommended it, I’ll give it a try!"
Chen Chuan was reasonably handsome, and when he deliberately tried to be charming, the effect was quite remarkable. The two girls immediately blushed.
"What would you like to drink, miss?"
Yun Zijin’s voice shattered the pink bubble between the three of them. Realizing they’d lost their composure, the two girls’ faces turned an even deeper shade of red.
However, they both shifted to the side, putting some distance between themselves and Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan: "..."
’It’s just my personality. It’s not like I was actually going to do anything to them.’
"The Wangyou Milk Tea is limited to 200 cups a day. Everyone please line up properly!"
Although Yun Zijin said this while looking toward the back of the line, Chen Chuan knew instantly that she was calling him out.
He had just left the line to greet Lu Yunque, and the spot where he’d been standing was now completely filled.
But he didn’t have much to do today anyway, so without giving it much thought, he went to the very end of the line and queued up.
The two girls shot Yun Zijin a grateful look, took the fresh cups of Wangyou Milk Tea from Qin Sitong, and deliberately avoided Chen Chuan as they left the shop.
Chen Chuan waited in line for about ten minutes before it was finally his turn.
"One Wangyou Milk Tea."
"Okay, the original price is 88 yuan. With the 20% discount for the first three days of our grand opening, that’s 70 yuan. Please scan the code here."
"Seventy? That’s expensive!"
It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford it, but 70 yuan for a cup of milk tea—and that was with a 20% discount—wasn’t that a bit ridiculous?
"If you think it’s too expensive, we have other, more affordable options on the menu. You can take a look."
Yun Zijin pointed to the menu next to the picture of the Wangyou Milk Tea.
"Seventy it is. But if it’s not good, I’m definitely filing a complaint!"
Chen Chuan took out his phone and scanned the code.
Yun Zijin smiled faintly. ’No one who’s tried the Wangyou Milk Tea has ever given it a bad review.’
The number of returning customers already proved that their milk tea shop was starting to take off.
’I believe it won’t be long before we can start planning for a new branch.’
