Free Web NovelChapter 158: Chapter 158: It’s All Fate
"Ah, I haven’t decided yet. I just bought the shops and came to take a look today."
’Even if I were to open a business, it wouldn’t be now.’
"So you’re just... leaving them empty?"
’Ten shops, all left empty... that’s so much potential rent lost.’
The uniformed officer was starting to feel sorry for Yun Zijin.
"I’ll see. Maybe I’ll get an idea and open something myself sometime.
If there’s nothing else, you can get back to your duties. You don’t need to worry about me. I’ll leave after I’ve seen the shops."
Although she’d been questioned, Yun Zijin had a clear conscience and wasn’t scared at all.
’Anyway, they have no reason to do anything to me.’
"Alright, but don’t linger for too long. Security is very strict around here."
"I can tell."
On any other street, if she only stopped for a moment, no one would have come over to question her.
After the uniformed officer left, Yun Zijin quickly looked through all 10 shops, inspected them, and confirmed there were no issues before finally locking up and leaving with peace of mind.
This time, the uniformed officer personally watched Yun Zijin get into the driver’s seat of that flashy Sielbe Tuatara and drive away.
Only then did he notice a nanny van also leaving, following closely behind Yun Zijin’s Sielbe Tuatara.
This completely baffled the uniformed officer. ’How did I not notice a nanny van on Xinghua Street before?’
’When did they get out of the car, and when did they get back in?’
At this thought, the uniformed officer grew tense and immediately reported the situation.
Yun Zijin was completely unaware of this. To avoid disrupting her daily life, Zero One and his team always tried to minimize their presence when they were near her.
As long as they didn’t reveal themselves, practically no one would ever notice their existence.
But this little habit had just given the Xinghua Street security team quite a shock.
After Yun Zijin left Xinghua Street, the second wave of news (or rather, intelligence) arrived from Lu Yunque.
Yun Zijin now knew that the person who wanted to meet her was an old general with bipolar disorder. After drinking Wangyou Milk Tea, his condition had shown significant signs of improvement.
This was also why Jiang Yi had repeatedly stood in line at the shop to buy Wangyou Milk Tea.
The bipolar disorder was a lingering side effect from his time on the battlefield. Although he had been diligently undergoing treatment, the results weren’t very noticeable.
The Wangyou Milk Tea could be considered a pleasant surprise.
Although he didn’t understand the principle behind it, the old general still wanted to meet Yun Zijin. He hoped she would cooperate with the government to promote Wangyou Milk Tea on a large scale, offering hope to those suffering from bipolar disorder.
To be honest, this was not something Yun Zijin had expected.
However, Yun Zijin wouldn’t be able to fulfill the old general’s request for cooperation anytime soon.
The Wangyou Milk Tea recipe specifically emphasized that the preparation process must be done by hand.
For large-scale promotion in a short period, they would have to use machines, but that method was clearly unsuitable for Wangyou Milk Tea.
Yun Zijin didn’t want to meet the old general and invite unnecessary trouble. So, she sent a message to Lu Yunque, explaining the limitations of making Wangyou Milk Tea.
’Whether he believes it or not, I’m telling the truth.’
’Anyway, the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop is right there. If someone’s family member has bipolar disorder, they can just come to the shop and buy it directly.’
’200 cups a day is quite a lot... right?’
After receiving Yun Zijin’s message, Lu Yunque forwarded it to his grandmother, informing her of this unfortunate fact.
That’s right. Lu Yunque never once suspected that Yun Zijin might be lying. Whatever Yun Zijin said, he believed.
Dijing Military Base Affiliated Hospital.
Xu Su Hua showed the message Lu Yunque had sent her to both Lu Zhengguo and Xu Hongshuai.
"It’s a bit of a shame, but there’s still hope, isn’t there?
Doesn’t Jiang go and stand in line for you every day? Just drink what you can get and stop worrying about everything else."
Lu Zhengguo felt that Xu Hongshuai, at his advanced age, was still trying to manage this and that. He truly worried too much.
It was precisely this tendency to worry that had led to his bipolar disorder.
"Isn’t Yunque familiar with this girl? Can’t he really arrange a meeting for us?"
Xu Hongshuai clearly hadn’t given up on meeting Yun Zijin.
"You’ve already scared the poor girl! If you scare away our Little Sparrow’s future wife, I’ll hold you responsible!"
Xu Su Hua’s name sounded quite refined, but she had a fiery temper when provoked.
Their Little Sparrow’s love star was finally shining, and they absolutely couldn’t hold him back!
If she hadn’t been afraid of scaring the young lady, Xu Su Hua would have gone to Yun Zijin to offer a betrothal gift that very day.
"Alright, alright! Your ’Little Sparrow’s future wife’... it’s not even certain he can win her over, not with that blockhead of his."
Xu Hongshuai retorted without holding back.
They had been friends for half their lives and spoke to each other without any reservations.
＊
After leaving Xinghua Street, she received another message from Lu Yunque. Confirming that Jiang Yi wasn’t out to cause her trouble, Yun Zijin’s worries were gone, and she drove directly to the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop.
When Qin Sitong saw Yun Zijin arrive, her eyes lit up.
"Zijin, you’re here!"
The thing was, whenever Yun Zijin wasn’t around, Qin Sitong always felt like her backbone was missing. She would still habitually turn to Yun Zijin when she encountered a problem.
But with Yun Zijin gone these past two days, Qin Sitong would often turn her head only to remember that she wasn’t there.
Fortunately, over time, Qin Sitong slowly adapted to being on her own.
Still, seeing Yun Zijin gave her that feeling of having found her pillar of support again.
"Miss Yun, what a coincidence!"
Yun Zijin had just walked into the shop when Mo Bin followed right behind her, and with him was Lu Yunque.
Seeing Lu Yunque, Yun Zijin was a little confused.
’Haven’t we already signed the contract? What else does Lu Yunque have to do over here?’
"Zijin."
Lu Yunque greeted Yun Zijin with a smile.
"What are you two doing here?"
The Lu Group’s office building was a world away from here! Yun Zijin didn’t buy any excuse about coincidence or being in the neighborhood.
"My grandparents helped me gather that intelligence. This is the reward I promised to bring back for them.
I wonder if my grandparents will be able to drink Wangyou Milk Tea made by Zijin’s own hands?"
Lu Yunque had only come over to try his luck, not expecting to actually run into her.
’It just goes to show, he and Zijin are truly fated to meet!’
"Of course! Your grandparents helped me, so I should definitely repay them.
How could a single cup of milk tea be enough? Next time we meet, I’ll give your grandparents some tea leaves."
’I still haven’t finished the Lingwu tea the system rewarded me with. Giving tea to the elderly is a foolproof gift.’
"There’s no need. It was just a small favor."
Although he didn’t know the value of the tea Yun Zijin mentioned, Lu Yunque was determined not to let her cancel out the favor with a gift.
"Really? My tea is one of a kind; you can’t buy it anywhere else."
’Specially supplied by Randomly Spend. Guaranteed to be the one and only.’
"Maybe next time. If I accept it now, my grandparents will probably scold me for being too greedy when I get back."
