Free Web NovelChapter 159: Chapter 159: A Cure for Depression? No, It’s Just a Drink! A Drink
"Alright, I’ll make a few Wangyou Milk Teas for you first. Why don’t you two find a seat and wait a bit?"
Although Lu Yunque said he was getting them for the two Lu elders, Yun Zijin couldn’t just make two cups.
She decided to make one for Lu Yunque and Mo Bin, and as a small favor, a cup for each of his parents as well—six cups in total.
The other customers in the shop were a bit unhappy that Yun Zijin was letting Lu Yunque cut in line for Wangyou Milk Tea, but after hearing their conversation, they understood he had this privilege because he’d done her a favor.
Although they felt a pang of jealousy, they could only pretend nothing was happening.
Qin Sitong and the other two employees tactfully made space for Yun Zijin to prepare the Wangyou Milk Tea.
"Okay. Sorry to trouble you, Zijin."
Lu Yunque’s mood visibly improved, and even the sharp lines of his face seemed to soften.
"Ma’am, my wife has postpartum depression, and her condition has improved a lot since drinking your Wangyou Milk Tea. But you only make 200 cups a day, and sometimes I get here too late to buy one. Can I reserve one cup with you every day?"
Just as Yun Zijin started making the milk tea, a man at the front of the line made his request.
Hearing the man, Qin Sitong and the other two employees found it hard to believe. "Our milk tea is a bit special, but... the boss never said it was effective against depression.
"Sir, could you be mistaken?"
This was no small matter. They were just a small shop and couldn’t bear such a heavy responsibility.
"It’s true, it’s really true! My wife has been actively undergoing psychotherapy, but with very little effect. A few days ago, I saw the name of your Wangyou Milk Tea and thought it sounded auspicious, so I bought a cup to take home for my wife to drink."
She had been gloomy and withdrawn, which led to severe insomnia. She even had mild suicidal tendencies. We had to have someone watching her 24 hours a day, and medication wasn’t helping.
But unexpectedly, after drinking your Wangyou Milk Tea, my wife actually slept soundly until morning! The next day, she even woke up and made me breakfast!"
I immediately took my wife to consult with her regular psychologist. The psychologist told me that my wife’s depression symptoms had shown significant improvement!"
He even asked me to think about what we did differently that day. Besides the Wangyou Milk Tea, I’m sure our routine was exactly the same as always!"
The only variable was the Wangyou Milk Tea!
After leaving the psychologist’s office, he took his wife home, specifically asking his mother to stay with her while he rushed over to buy more Wangyou Milk Tea.
He’s been coming every day for the past few days, but sometimes he works late and by the time he gets here, the Wangyou Milk Tea is already sold out.
Without the Wangyou Milk Tea, his wife’s mood would still be down, just not as severely as before.
He was hoping that if he bought a cup for his wife every day, the cumulative effect would lead to a breakthrough, and her postpartum depression could be completely cured.
The man’s story sent a shockwave through everyone present, employees and customers alike.
"Sir, I understand you’re very fond of our Wangyou Milk Tea, but our shop has never explicitly stated that it can cure depression."
If our Wangyou Milk Tea truly helped alleviate your wife’s depression, I am deeply honored.
However, this might just be a coincidence. I hope that you and our other customers will not exaggerate this matter.
"Our Wangyou Milk Tea is just a regular beverage and cannot be used as a substitute for medicine. I ask for everyone’s understanding on this!"
Qin Sitong had also been left reeling by the man’s words; it was Yun Zijin who stepped forward in time to prevent the potential fallout from the incident.
’If people were really led to believe that Wangyou Milk Tea could cure depression, it would not be a good thing for their shop.’
’Getting overhyped can lead to a backlash; it’s a kind of business sabotage. Wangyou Milk Tea must remain a beverage, not a medicine!’
Hearing Yun Zijin, the other people also felt the man’s claims were a bit exaggerated. If Wangyou Milk Tea could really treat depression, the owner would have patented it as a drug long ago. Why would she sell it to them as milk tea?
Still, thinking about how special the Wangyou Milk Tea was, many people were tempted to try it for themselves.
After all, a trip to the hospital wasn’t cheap. If an 88-yuan cup of milk tea could solve their problems, they were more than willing to give it a shot.
Lu Yunque watched Yun Zijin handle the situation with calm and composure, thinking she had done it perfectly.
Although he also suspected that Wangyou Milk Tea might be able to treat depression, bipolar disorder, and similar conditions, he knew it was something the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop had to announce on its own terms, rather than being forced to react to others’ claims.
"I get it, I get it! Ma’am, I definitely won’t say things like that again. I’d like three cups of Wangyou Milk Tea!"
With that, the man took out his phone and scanned a QR code to transfer 264 yuan to the milk tea shop’s account.
It was a bit expensive, sure, but Wangyou Milk Tea was just that special.
Every time you drank it, the flavor was different, and the experience was different too.
In any case, a single cup of Wangyou Milk Tea from this shop was worth almost all the other milk teas from other shops combined.
However, not everyone could afford to drink an 88-yuan milk tea every day. There were still some people who weren’t as well-off and would order other milk teas when Wangyou Milk Tea wasn’t in their budget.
And when the Wangyou Milk Tea sold out, they would just buy one of the other milk teas. The main idea was to not leave empty-handed.
Yun Zijin still felt uneasy. After making the six cups of Wangyou Milk Tea, she brought it up with Qin Sitong. They needed to add a line to their shop’s promotional posters: "Our Wangyou Milk Tea is a regular beverage and should not be used as a substitute for medicine!"
It had to be enlarged and bolded, inside a conspicuous starburst bubble, so that customers couldn’t miss it.
As for whether the customers believed it or not, that was their own business. At least the shop had provided a warning.
Qin Sitong understood the gravity of the situation and nodded solemnly. It was indeed necessary.
Otherwise, it would be bad news if the relevant authorities came and accused them of deceiving consumers.
After giving Qin Sitong her instructions, Yun Zijin packed up the six cups of milk tea she had made for Lu Yunque.
Lu Yunque had been watching Yun Zijin the whole time. As soon as she started packing the Wangyou Milk Teas, he came over with Mo Bin.
"Didn’t I just ask for two cups? Why did you make so many?"
A full six cups. No matter how big the old man’s and old lady’s appetites were, they couldn’t drink this much.
"Well, you two are here. I couldn’t just pretend you don’t exist."
"Two cups are for Grandpa Lu and Grandma Xu, and two are for your father and mother. Please give them my regards."
Yun Zijin had a good impression of the Lu Family members from Old Sir Lu’s birthday banquet.
They hadn’t been in contact since the banquet, but Yun Zijin didn’t mind extending a small kindness.
"I get one too?"
Mo Bin was overwhelmed by the gesture. This was Yun Zijin, a person who could casually pull out billions. At this moment, Mo Bin could only see her as a complete angel.
’A person this good... if the boss actually manages to woo her and take her home, he must have accumulated good karma for eight lifetimes!’
