"Today is another day of sweet delights," said Meng Yue.
The current situation is quite interesting.
Lin Lu’s family thinks Cheng Zhu is dating Shen Qingning.
Shen Qingning’s family knows Cheng Zhu is dating Lin Lu.
Because the daughters of the two families are such good friends, the two sets of parents actually know each other, just not very well.
In fact, the Lin family and the Shen family had business cooperation in the past.
The Lin family not only has an interior design company but is mainly in the building materials business.
In Meng Yue’s mind, Cheng Zhu gave the business to his company because of the relationships, but also because of a previous pleasant cooperation.
She and Little Lu’s Daddy value Youu Tea immensely; it’s their top priority, and they offer plenty of benefits.
Moreover, Shen Minglang and Ningning are also shareholders of Youu Tea; naturally, they lean more towards the Lin family.
In fact, as the founder of Youu Tea, Cheng Zhu definitely has to be responsible for his project.
The previous cooperation was essentially a test he set for the auntie, who passed admirably, hence the ongoing partnership.
No matter your seniority, auntie, in the business world, this young man is your client!
If Meng Yue’s company hadn’t done well and lacked sufficient strength, no matter how sweetly Little Lu kissed, the cooperation would not have happened.
After all, every matter has its own considerations.
Right now, Meng Yue looked at her daughter and said with a smile, "Why don’t you invite Ningning, Ming Lang, and Cheng Zhu over for dinner one day?"
She felt a family dinner would foster closer ties.
In the past, upon hearing about inviting friends over for dinner, Little Lu would have been very enthusiastic.
But with Cheng Zhu involved, she suddenly felt a bit nervous.
"Ah? Invite them over for dinner?"
Many people have actually forgotten what they were like when they were in love, whether it’s meeting a partner’s parents or their own; it sends everyone into a frenzy.
Not to mention, it’s even worse when it’s a first love.
Indeed, Little Lu is candid and passionate, but no one faces thousands of situations with the identical attitude.
Girls of this age in love naturally tend to keep a bit of distance from their families.
This is the norm for the majority.
Talking about dating, especially a first love, is a bit difficult to discuss with parents, and it feels awkward.
It involves, after all, intimate contact with the opposite sex.
And in many people’s minds, there is the natural assumption that their partner wouldn’t want their parents to know about such matters.
Little Lu is just from a different kind of family atmosphere, which is why her mentality is: If Mom asks, I’ll be honest.
But meeting the parents so soon, she still feels it’s overwhelming.
Lin Lu was still guessing internally: "Don’t look at Cheng Zhu acting all cool, like he can handle any big scene and isn’t intimidated by anyone, but if he were to come to our house as a boyfriend, he’d definitely feel a lot of pressure, right?"
And Ms. Meng, you should have praised me a bit first, before suddenly switching to inviting them over for dinner.
Mom, I’ve put in a lot of effort, my mouth swelled from all the kissing with smelly Cheng Zhu!
No recognition for effort, and he even squeezed my butt a couple of times while kissing!
"They should be pretty busy lately," deflected Lin Lu, effectively declining the family dinner invitation on behalf of Cheng Zhu, and she felt the reason was very compelling.
"True, they’ve just completed the second round of funding, they must be overwhelmed," laughed Meng Yue. "After all, spending six hundred million in cash is no easy feat."
On that point, Meng Yue was spot on.
Cheng Zhu was indeed worrying every day about how to spend that money.
It’s tough, that money is just too hard to spend!
"Once you spend it, you look back and there’s still so much left, then you continue spending, and damn, it’s still a lot!"
Based on his current plans, he reckons by the end of the year, he might manage to disburse over four billion.
"No, no, this won’t do!"
Therefore, expanding the plan for opening new stores to 200 for the second half of the year is just one step.
Ultimately, the money burns slowly because Youu Tea spends less on marketing than any other trendy tea shop.
Cheng Zhu, the king of marketing, has too many clever moves, ensuring Youu Tea never lacks traffic.
Having a good boss in a company actually makes the employees’ work flow smoother.
Currently, in the era of abundant information, many company leaders lack a strong "internet sense."
Many are also out of touch and not practical.
Cheng Zhu is different; his "internet sense" is incredibly strong!
This makes the marketing department of Youu Tea rather relaxed, with little need to "clean up" for the boss.
Now, we’re about to head into June.
As everyone knows, summer is the most competitive season in the bubble tea industry.
In the scorching heat, a cold cup of bubble tea brings double the pleasure.
Cold drinks are just refreshing!
Moreover, most fruit teas actually taste better iced.
Hot bubble tea often feels richer than the iced version.
Therefore, for any bubble tea brand, summer is the season to kick into high gear.
Youu Tea is no exception!
On June 1st, Children’s Day, Youu Tea started making high-profile announcements, planning to open 200 new stores in the second half of the year, with a general regional planning, and listed a chart of target cities.
Unquestionably, this was great news for many who had only heard of Youu Tea’s fame but hadn’t been able to purchase it.
