Chapter 647: Chapter 647: Settle for the Next Best Option Chapter 647: Chapter 647: Settle for the Next Best Option Young Master Chu expressed his gratitude to her.
Su Yunjin could only offer a dry laugh.
Upon learning that Young Master Chu wanted to discuss the fruit wine business with her, and considering she was about to open her shop, it seemed that Young Master Chu’s business was quite substantial. If she could collaborate with Young Master Chu, then her wine shop would have no worries when it came to sales! An additional partnership meant more silver to be earned, and for Su Yunjin, why wouldn’t that be a delightful thing to do?
Seeing the opportunity to make silver, Su Yunjin certainly wouldn’t refuse, “Young Master Chu, since that’s the case, let’s head to the tea house ahead to discuss the details!” And so, Su Yunjin followed Young Master Chu to the tea house.
The tea house was bustling with people, with the ground floor too noisy for business discussions. It appeared that Young Master Chu was a regular here, as the moment he arrived, a waiter immediately led them to an elegant private room upstairs. Following Young Master Chu inside, he took a seat first while Su Yunjin chose the position opposite him.
Soon, a waiter brought over fine tea and pastries. This being Su Yunjin’s first visit to such a place for tea, she couldn’t help but take a sip, enticed by the aroma of the tea.
“Miss Su, the pre-rain tea from this tea house is rather good. I’ve had it a few times; you should give it a try,” Young Master Chu said with a smile upon seeing Su Yunjin taking an interest in the tea.
After crossing over, Su Yunjin had mainly consumed the coarse tea commonly drunk in the villages that was somewhat bitter and lacked fragrance. This was her first time experiencing such pre-rain tea, and indeed, a good tea felt different on the palate. Setting down her teacup, Su Yunjin looked up and smiled at Young Master Chu, “The flavor of this tea is indeed nice, I find it… quite enjoyable.” Su Yunjin had almost revealed that it was her first time tasting such tea.
Thinking about it, wouldn’t such an admission make Young Master Chu laugh at her? Decisively, Su Yunjin altered her statement to express her enjoyment, and of course, Young Master Chu could see what Su Yunjin was thinking.
However, Young Master Chu didn’t point it out and instead encouraged Su Yunjin to try the pastries on the table, “Miss Su, besides tea, the cakes here are also tasty. You should try them.”
Having had her tea, Su Yunjin hadn’t forgotten the real reason for her visit.
“Young Master Chu, weren’t we supposed to talk business? Let’s get started with that now.” Pastries could wait; discussing business was the priority.
Considering that making money was more important, Young Master Chu saw Su Yunjin’s eagerness and agreed with a smile, “As you wish, Miss Su, let’s start talking business now!”
During her previous delivery to the Fuman Building, Su Yunjin’s fruit wine had unexpectedly been sampled by Young Master Chu, who found its mellow taste peculiar and distinct from traditional rice wine.
Young Master Chu found himself quite intrigued by that fruit wine.
“Miss Su, if possible, I would like to purchase the secret recipe for your fruit wine brewing. As for the price, we can negotiate that,” Young Master Chu proposed.
Su Yunjin had intention of just selling the wine, not the recipe, and immediately refused upon hearing Young Master Chu’s offer, “I’m sorry, Young Master Chu, but I will not sell the secret recipe. I only sell the wine.”
Surprised by Su Yunjin’s response, Young Master Chu was taken aback for a moment before she informed him of Manager Liu’s earlier attempt to purchase her recipe.
This let Young Master Chu understand that she was not one to sell her secrets.
Being a smart man, Young Master Chu knew that Su Yunjin would not sell her recipe, so he looked for an alternative, hoping to sign a contract with Su Yunjin to ensure her future fruit wine would be sold exclusively to him.
