Free Web NovelChapter 155: Chapter 155: Jiang Yi Is Here Again
Before he arrived, Lu Yunque hadn’t really thought about getting any benefits from the university.
But since the principal had brought it up... ’Wouldn’t it be a waste not to ask for something in return?’
However, thinking about it on the spot, he couldn’t immediately come up with anything Dijing University could offer the Lu Family.
Since he couldn’t think of anything, he’d just let someone else do the thinking for him.
"Principal Xu, what do you think the university can bring to the Lu Family?"
"Well..."
Xu Yunzhen was stumped for a moment as well, but an idea quickly flashed through his mind. "Perhaps we could establish a corporate partnership between the university and your company? What do you think, Mr. Lu?"
A large corporation like the Lu Family certainly has high recruitment standards. Coincidentally, Dijing University is one of the top universities in the country, so our students should meet the Lu Family’s criteria.
This would also contribute to the university’s graduate employment rate. It would be a win-win situation.
Lu Yunque glanced at Xu Yunzhen. He had to admit, with this proposal, the principal’s abacus beads were clicking right in his face.
Still, it would indeed bring a considerable amount of talent to the Lu Family, which was certainly a benefit.
"Regarding this matter, Principal Xu can communicate with the director of the Lu Family’s HR department."
Lu Yunque generally didn’t involve himself in matters of company recruitment.
"Excellent! I’ll have someone from my side contact your company! Mr. Lu, you certainly are a pleasure to deal with!"
It’s difficult for university students to find jobs these days. Even graduates from a top school like theirs weren’t guaranteed a spot in a major corporation, let alone a conglomerate like the Lu Family.
When it came to recruiting talent, Yun Zijin had nothing to add. A top graduate from Dijing University probably wouldn’t give a second glance to her fledgling Qingjin Charity Foundation.
Once the contract was signed, it was nearly noon, so Xu Yunzhen suggested the six of them have lunch together.
It was the Hua Country way; no matter what was being discussed, a meal was an essential part of it.
"Oh, no, that’s quite alright. I have a few bodyguards waiting outside. We can’t just eat in a private room while they wait for me on an empty stomach, can we? Besides, I have something to do this afternoon."
Yesterday, the system had given her ten storefronts on Xinghua Street, and Yun Zijin wanted to go check them out today.
After all, Xinghua Street was home to many influential figures. Yun Zijin hadn’t expected that Randomly Spend could even get its hands on shops in a place like this.
"That’s no trouble at all. I can just have the restaurant open another private room next to ours and order a separate table of food for them."
Principal Xu truly felt they should have this meal. The building donation from Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque was a tremendous benefit to the university.
"Principal Xu is right. I had a reservation made at Yiyuan Residence. If we head over now, the timing will be perfect."
Lu Yunque had already planned for this before he came, having Mo Bin book a private room at the nearest restaurant ahead of time.
Even with the bodyguards, he could simply have the restaurant open up another room.
Since both Lu Yunque and Principal Xu had agreed to lunch, it would be impolite for Yun Zijin to refuse again, so she finally relented.
"Alright, let’s have lunch together then. I’ll have to trouble you to arrange another room for my bodyguards, Mr. Lu."
Of course, Zero One was acting as Yun Zijin’s assistant today, so he would be joining their group.
"Of course, I’ll book it now. Mo Bin, call the restaurant and add another private room."
"Yes, President."
With that, Mo Bin took out his phone, quickly found the number for Yiyuan Residence, and added another room in just a few words.
With the rooms booked, the group left Principal Xu’s office and drove to the restaurant in their respective cars.
The route from Dijing University to Yiyuan Residence happened to pass by the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop. As Yun Zijin’s eye-catching Ferrari Enzo drove past, many people inside the shop recognized it as their boss’s car.
Someone even asked Qin Sitong about it, but since she didn’t know what Yun Zijin was up to, she could only give a vague answer, saying that her boss was busy with something important.
Meanwhile, Yun Zijin and her group arrived at Yiyuan Residence after a short drive.
The moment she stepped into Yiyuan Residence, Yun Zijin was captivated by the vibrant decor. Green was the dominant color, and potted plants were everywhere in the lobby. ’The owner must really love the color green,’ she thought.
"Hello, do you have a reservation?"
"Yes, under the name Lu."
As soon as the group stepped up to the entrance, the receptionist at the front desk spoke. Mo Bin took out his phone to show her the reservation details.
"Alright, your private rooms are 506 and 507."
"This way, please."
After the receptionist spoke, a waiter approached to lead them.
The waiter led them to the elevator. After getting off, they rounded a corner and walked a short distance to their rooms.
"These are your two private rooms."
The waiter opened a door for them, revealing the room inside.
There was a classic large round table inside. Because Mo Bin had booked the room for six, it wasn’t especially large, but the decor was still quite luxurious.
Yun Zijin’s party of six entered room 506, while Ling Er and the others went into 507.
The waiter called over a colleague, and one entered room 506 while the other went into 507.
"Here are the menus. Would you like to order now?"
The waiter placed the two menus he was holding on the table.
"Yes, we’ll order now. Just give us a moment to look."
As the eldest in the group, Principal Xu felt he should take on the role of looking after the two younger ones, so he passed both menus to them.
"We can share one. Please, don’t worry about us."
Lu Yunque had very slyly seated himself next to Yun Zijin, so they could indeed lean in together to look at the menu.
Principal Xu didn’t insist. He had made the offer, and if the two young people wanted to share a menu, he certainly wasn’t going to stop them.

「Wangyou Milk Tea Shop.」
Not long after Yun Zijin had left, Jiang Yi returned. And this time, he wasn’t alone.
Qin Sitong looked at the tall, imposing men before her, feeling a little overwhelmed. She kept her composure on the surface, however, and sat down with them at an empty table in the shop.
"Gentlemen, how can I help you?"
’Today’s Wangyou Milk Tea is already sold out. There’s none left even if they want some.’
If it weren’t for the two new employees who had started today, she wouldn’t have even had the time to step away and speak with them.
"Hello! My name is Jiang Yi, and I’m a soldier. I’ve bought Wangyou Milk Tea from your shop twice before."
"We appreciate your business, but I’m afraid the Wangyou Milk Tea is sold out for today. I’m sorry."
’All the ingredients are gone. Even if they wanted some, I couldn’t make something out of nothing.’
"Actually, I gave the milk tea I bought today to an elderly man. He’s now full of energy and says he’d like to meet the owner of the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop. I was wondering if that would be possible?"
However, the person who had left a deeper impression on Jiang Yi was the other owner.
For whatever reason, Jiang Yi had the distinct feeling that the Wangyou Milk Tea made by the other owner was more effective.
Unfortunately, their timing was off.
"I’m sorry, I only manage the shop. The real owner is someone else.
I can pass on your request to meet her, but I can’t guarantee anything."
