Chapter 843: Chapter 545: Do You Even Know What a Nai Lu Is?
In the restaurant, Jiang Wanzhou stood at the cash register to pay the bill.
Ji Shiwen came over after visiting the restroom and felt a bit displeased seeing her boyfriend paying.
“You must have already mentioned to Cheng Zhu that you were treating them to dinner today, right?”
“Yes.” Jiang Wanzhou nodded slightly. “What’s the matter?”
“Then as soon as we sat down, he brought up being late without even looking up, saying we were late so you should pay for this meal.” Ji Shiwen pouted.
Little President Jiang glanced at her and asked, “Is there a problem with that?”
“I just feel like he carries himself with a high attitude.” Ji Shiwen said.
Jiang Wanzhou didn’t respond to that remark.
He and Cheng Zhu grew up together and were too familiar with each other, knowing each other too well.
Although since his breakup with Li Xinyue, Cheng Zhu seemed to have undergone significant changes in personality and manner, it wasn’t like he couldn’t hear the nuance in Cheng Zhu’s taunts aimed at Ji Shiwen.
Of course, there might be some aimed at him too.
Since they were venturing into business, and they had agreed to discuss the project today, it wasn’t just an ordinary friend’s dinner; it was business.
If business was the purpose, then time management was crucial. How could being late be taken lightly?
As for the so-called high attitude… hasn’t Cheng Zhu always been ?
Jiang Wanzhou never gave him a good face; wasn’t he always rolling his eyes and telling him to get lost?
With that in mind, he whispered to Ji Shiwen, “After all, today we’re here to talk about business, discussing work matters.”
“If you feel his attitude is high with just that…”
“Have you forgotten, his attitude towards Tiancheng Capital is: for every minute late, add a hundred million!”
“Calculate for yourself, how many minutes were we late today?”
On the other side, Cheng Zhu and Lin Lu were flirting and joking.
When Jiang Wanzhou came back from paying, the voice actress girl who extorted a grand sum of 180 yuan today immediately offered, “I made money today; I’ll treat everyone to a movie!”
“You call that earning?” Cheng Zhu was furious, “I’ll report it to the police later!”
“Oh, go ahead and report it! You do it then!”
The two started bickering again.
Ji Shiwen couldn’t figure out what they were going on about, but Jiang Wanzhou could join in perfectly without caring about what was happening and just started yelling about taking a share, asking for red envelopes.
“No way! At most, I’ll treat you each to a cup of iced cola later! The money I scammed… earned with my skills, no way am I giving it away!” Lin Lu defended fiercely.
Cheng Zhu was speechless on the side, “Do the math for yourself, how much would four movie tickets plus four colas cost?”
“Hmm? That’s not happening, I won’t even treat for colas!”
Ji Shiwen watched from the side, realizing it was just a bit of small change and couldn’t figure out why these rich kids and big bosses could make such a fuss over it?
In the end, it was decided Lin Lu would treat them to the movie, while Cheng Zhu would pay for the drinks and popcorn.
Cheng Zhu considering he might as well go to Youu Tea on the first floor and personally make some milk tea.
Besides, he still needed to take Jiang Wanzhou somewhere.
The movie was set to start in half an hour, so the four of them took the elevator to the ground floor.
Cheng Zhu slipped into the production room of Youu Tea’s No. 1 store and made a juicy grape for Lin Lu and a fruit tea each for Jiang Wanzhou and Ji Shiwen.
He didn’t make one for himself because he wanted to share a cup with Little Lu.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you somewhere.” Cheng Zhu waved grandly, leading the group toward another entrance of the mall.
As they walked halfway, Lin Lu said, “Are you taking us to that shop you acquired earlier?”
“You guessed right.” He smiled.
“There was a shop on the side of that big entrance that was vacated earlier, so I took it over to reserve a spot. It’s very suitable for opening a blind box store.” Cheng Zhu looked at Jiang Wanzhou, “I’ll sublet it directly to you.”
“Let’s go check it out.” Jiang Wanzhou was quite intrigued.
Ji Shiwen followed behind, thinking to herself, “Does he plan to take the opportunity to rent out his idle shop to an old friend?”
She planned to have a private chat with Jiang Wanzhou later, feeling that Cheng Zhu’s business tactics seemed too calculating, not very upstanding.
Upon reaching the store, Cheng Zhu led him for a tour around.
“You even renovated it?” Jiang Wanzhou was shocked.
“Yes, I originally planned to start some side business. Anyway, I’ll give you the renovation at a half-buy, half-give price.” Cheng Zhu said with a smile.
Ji Shiwen listened from the side, feeling even more uncomfortable.
“Good grief, he even wants to charge for the unused renovation, how’s that different from just transferring the shop?”
“Moreover, with the existing renovation, it might hinder later design work. Demolishing it feels wasteful, but without demolition, it may not achieve the desired effect.”
“Could it be he’s deliberately trying to take advantage of Wanzhou?” Ji Shiwen pondered.
In the end, after one round of touring, Jiang Wanzhou made a prompt decision.
“Alright, let’s take it!”
“OK, Little President Jiang is straightforward!”
Jiang Wanzhou looked at him and added, “Thanks.”
“Tch, what are you barking at?” Cheng Zhu dug his ears, feigning displeasure.
Ji Shiwen listening on the side, furrowed her brows slightly.
As they walked out, she lightly tugged at Jiang Wanzhou, lagging a few steps behind Cheng Zhu and Lin Lu, softly scolding, “How come you didn’t discuss it with me first?”
This question left our Little President Jiang momentarily puzzled.
“Discuss what?” He was a bit surprised.
Seeing this, Ji Shiwen instantly realized: he hadn’t even considered discussing such a significant matter as renting a shop with her!
Even though it wasn’t her money being used, for such a big decision, as his girlfriend and closest person, shouldn’t he at least listen to her opinion?
