Chapter 426: Chapter 346 Yiyi Is Here
“Does he think it’s not good?”
“Does he think it’s NOT GOOD?!!!”
The formidable founder of Mo Tea, Brother Xiong, watched as the very person he had copied threw out his own milk tea in front of him, tossing it into the trash can. His Taoist heart wavered, filled with inward fury.
So full oh, the Brown Sugar Milk Tea he had just discarded was oh so full.
Had he even taken three sips? Eh! Had he taken three?
If the word “original” on the Youu Tea screen stung him, then Cheng Zhu’s just-now action wasn’t just stinging, it was a freaking stab to the heart.
The most outrageous part was that he believed Cheng Zhu had no clue who he was and did not deliberately toss it for him to see; he probably really thought it wasn’t as good as his own Youu Tea.
Zhou Jianxiong, boiling with rage, felt his throat dry from anger. Instinctively, he lifted the cup in his hand and took a big gulp of the roasted brown sugar bubble milk tea from Youu Tea.
The mellow high-quality fresh milk flowed down his throat, its creaminess lingering in his mouth. The soft and sticky high-quality brown sugar pearls carried a hint of sweetness that tantalized his taste buds without being overly cloying, even better to chew.
It took him a while to realize what he was drinking, and he looked down blankly at the cup.
Zhou Jianxiong also wanted to throw away the roasted brown sugar bubble milk tea in a fit of pique.
But after thinking it over repeatedly, he held back.
He had to savor it again, really savor it!
Because Mo Tea’s Brown Sugar Milk Tea was rushed to market, there was still room for minor adjustments in its taste.
As the big boss of the traditional milk tea industry, right then he only thought of capturing as much of the brown sugar milk tea market as possible.
Just watch. This year our company will create a sales legend with this same milk tea you discarded!
…
…
Inside the Youu Tea shop, the manager Wang Wei approached when she saw her boss had arrived.
“Boss, was that Brown Sugar Milk Tea you just threw away? Was it good?” she asked curiously.
“What do you think?” he glanced at Wang Wei and chided her, “As Youu Tea’s manager, show some pride. How could it possibly be better than our shop’s? What are you thinking?”
Wang Wei couldn’t help but smile.
“By the way, how are the sales for today’s Grape Meat tea?” Cheng Zhu asked.
“Very good, it’s the number one in sales for the store today.”
“Normal, it should keep up for several days,” Cheng Zhu nodded slightly.
Wang Wei was a bit puzzled; other people had copied us, and it was a national launch in all their stores, but the boss seemed in a very good mood.
Little did she know that in Cheng Zhu’s eyes, these traditional milk tea brands would still not amount to much, even with their copycat tactics.
What a joke – putting chicken feathers on a bat – you think you’re birds?
Just then, Cheng Zhu’s phone pinged once.
He initially thought it was Lin Lu, trapped at home by family rules, chatting him up, but it turned out to be a WeChat message from Zhang Qiqi.
“Hmm? What new excuse has this green tea senior found to chat with me?” Cheng Zhu thought.
“Junior, is the shop busy now? My cousin has come to Hang City for the New Year holiday, and she insists I take her to buy Youu Tea,” Zhang Qiqi messaged on WeChat.
Oh, the excuse is Yiyi.
So, this Innocent Little White Flower specially came to Hang City.
According to the normal timeline, now at the beginning of the year ’15, Yiyi will enroll in the Communication University right after summer break, very close to Technology University.
Cheng Zhu never thought he’d willingly stir up trouble with Yiyi in this lifetime.
But unexpectedly there was now this connection with Zhang Qiqi – they turned out to be green tea sisters.
He was very clear in his heart, in every aspect he was Yiyi’s type, even his looks were her cup of tea.
Once they met, it would be troublesome, impossible to shake off!
This woman was purposeful and… morally compromised.
–As long as I have no morals, morals can’t kidnap me.
She wouldn’t care what status she had with Cheng Zhu; it was like this in the past life, with no formal title at all.
Now that they had met after rebirth, there will certainly be entanglements.
Yiyi and Cheng Zhu, these two… [Yi Cheng unchanged] indeed.
Hence, it’s not at all surprising to Cheng Zhu that Meng Yiyi would come to Hang City during her holiday just to make her presence known.
However, this lifetime Cheng Zhu also came in contact with her cousin Zhang Qiqi, and this sister pair coming up with this kind of [Yiqi pursuing Zhu] drama, he couldn’t help but feel a mix of laughter and tears.
“Lin Lu is really my nemesis, lately frequently countered.”
“Bringing in two little green teas to match against each other isn’t bad either!”
Cheng Zhu began typing on WeChat: “Hmm, I’m at the shop.”
…
…
In the taxi, this pair of sisters had in fact almost arrived at Star City.
Zhang Qiqi said on WeChat that she had no choice with her cousin; she insisted on coming to buy milk tea, but she was thinking to herself, “Good timing!”
Her recent interactions with Cheng Zhu were even less frequent than before, and chatting has also decreased a lot.
What she didn’t know was what went through the mind of this deceitful man: “With Yiyi around, Qiqi, you have the cousin buff to boost your score. When Yiyi’s not around, it’s just a bit uninteresting, huh.”
I, Ning Bao, am still being given the cold shoulder, you definitely have to wait in line and stand back.
At this moment, Zhang Qiqi didn’t think too much about it.
It was not too surprising that her cousin wanted Youu Tea.
If I were her, I would also want to come to Hang City for milk tea and post on social media.
Obviously, Zhang Qiqi didn’t understand her clear-faced little cousin deeply enough.
–The man Zhang Qiqi likes, I just so happen to like in every way, too. I love it so much!
Indeed, she was very interested in this explosively popular internet-famous store, but she was even more interested in Cheng Zhu.
Today, Meng Yiyi once again wore her signature pseudo-natural makeup, projecting an unadorned purity, her unworldly demeanor like a blank sheet of paper.
It made one itch to scribble carelessly all over it.
No matter the era, any type of girl could suddenly become outdated, but innocence will never be outdated.
In the taxi, Meng Yiyi probed for information.
“Sister, have you and Brother Cheng Zhu made any progress during this time? Have the two of you…” she paused, then flashed a pure smile, “Hee~”
“It’s the same as always,” Zhang Qiqi sighed inwardly, though she put on a tough front.
Same as always? It was clearly a setback.
Meng Yiyi: Got it, he must still be single.
Otherwise, Zhang Qiqi would have said he had a girlfriend.
Don’t think Yiyi is still too young, not even of age, but she didn’t find it strange that such a high-quality man was still single.
“No girlfriend doesn’t mean there aren’t women in his daily life,” she thought to herself.
As she had a rather complicated family background, she sometimes understood men better than her peers.
Star City was indeed jammed on New Year’s Day.
When they were almost there, the sister pair decided to get off and walk.
With the congestion, they were sure they’d be faster on foot.
But as soon as they entered the main gate, they were stunned by the queue of people.
“There are so many people,” both girls were shocked.
Holidays were indeed different, especially since Youu Tea had also released a new product today.
At this point, just queuing up to order would take at least an hour, and then waiting for the tea to be made would probably take another two hours!
Meng Yiyi saw this scene with a glint in her eye.
“Brother Cheng Zhu is so awesome,” she exclaimed genuinely.
She had a strong admiration for strength, and at this moment felt even more attracted to Cheng Zhu.
Zhang Qiqi, meanwhile, looked around in the crowd and spotted many of Hang City’s local internet celebrities.
One of them she knew, so she went over to say hello.
Yiyi didn’t follow but stood foolishly outside the door of Youu Tea, peering inside and looking for a glimpse of Cheng Zhu.
Normally, she would have been interested in experiencing Zhang Qiqi’s internet celebrity circle, but she had no interest today.
“What’s so special about these little internet celebrities’ circles? He’s the one who discusses collaborations with the biggest internet celebrity company in Hang City,” Meng Yiyi was clear-headed.
Seconds later, her phone pinged.
Looking down, she saw a WeChat message from Cheng Zhu, and her heart immediately swelled with joy, looking around excitedly.
“I see you,” Cheng Zhu typed.
He sent the message privately to Yiyi, not to Qiqi.
The Innocent Little White Flower outside searched for a long time, unable to find his figure, and then typed, “Brother Cheng Zhu, why can’t I see you?”
Cheng Zhu looked at the WeChat message, and he found the title “Brother Cheng Zhu” a mix of laughter and tears.
Yiyi ah Yiyi, we didn’t call it that in our past life, huh!
But right now, she was a tender underage high school girl, so it was a bit different.
[Meng Yiyi*Youth Limited Edition], was a new version Cheng Zhu had never experienced.
He hid in the prep room on purpose, making it impossible for her to find him, and then deliberately typed: “Because I’m in the prep room making milk tea for you.”
This immediately surprised Yiyi a bit, feeling special treatment, her face revealing an extremely delighted expression.
“She probably knows I can see her from this angle, so that’s why this surprise is so over the top, getting a bit exaggerated, Yiyi,” Cheng Zhu thought.
When he finished making it, Zhang Qiqi had also ended her socializing and returned to her cousin’s side.
Meng Yiyi immediately told her that Cheng Zhu was making milk tea for them.
Before long, they saw Cheng Zhu come out with the milk tea, two cups of today’s new release, Grape Meat tea.
The two girls thought they might have a chance to interact with him, but who would have thought, Cheng Zhu handed over the milk tea and hurried off.
“Here, new product. I’m busy with something else, so I’ll leave first.”
You’ve already enjoyed a bit of special treatment, I definitely can’t spend more time on you, to prevent you two from getting too carried away. That feeling of uncertainty is what I’m going for.
Yiyi, you’re a late-game hero, it’s fine to show up occasionally to make your presence felt. I’ll give you a cup of milk tea to appease you, we’ll talk about the rest when you start university in the second half of the year.
I’ve got big things to take care of.
…
…
2015, New Year’s Day ended.
The second day of the new year had arrived quietly.
For most people, New Year’s Day is special, but January 2nd is not.
On the contrary, after the noise and hustle of New Year’s Eve, January 2nd seemed even more desolate and ordinary.
Chen Jieyu sat alone on the living room sofa in the faculty dormitory, as in years past, with an old-fashioned cream cake on the coffee table.
It was that kind of old-fashioned frosted cream cake, a small one, in a thin pink plastic packaging box covered with a clear lid, a childhood memory for many born in the eighties and nineties.
Many old stores still sell this type of cake, as plenty of people find it nostalgically retro and reminiscent of their childhood, so they would go out of their way to buy it.
After arriving in Hang City, Chen Jieyu would buy herself one such little cake for her birthday every year.
Because when she was a child, she wanted one every year, but she never got one.
