No one knew what was going on, and before they could react, they were surrounded by a group of reporters. The shutters kept clicking, blinding Lu Anning's eyes, and they bombarded them with questions.
Lu Anning was protected by Tang Jingyuan and was able to escape danger.
"Mr. Tang, did you really invest in and open this health teahouse together? Are you planning to go high-end?"
"It's said that the health-promoting tea recipes in the teahouse are all ancestral recipes handed down by authoritative sources. Could you please tell us the details, Mrs. Tang?"
"Mr. Fang, does this investment in a health teahouse mean that the Fang family will change their business strategy in the future?"
"Mr. Zhou, you, Mr. Fang, and Mr. Tang are investing in a health teahouse together. Are you planning to open a chain of stores? Will this be your main development direction next year?"
Several people were stunned by the question. They just came to attend the opening ceremony of the cafe. Who could have expected such a scene?
Tang Jingyuan's face darkened and he shouted angrily, "Have you asked enough? Who asked you to come?"
These reporters had come here because of their reputation, and they thought that this was Tang Jingyuan's tacit approval, hinting at the direction of development for next year. But now it seems that they were unaware of it.
Any one of these people is a heavyweight figure, and they are not people that small reporters like them dare to provoke.
After Tang Jingyuan roared like this, the scene fell silent for a moment.
They glared at the reporters with cold faces. Tang Jingyuan was about to ask a question when Bai Lu quickly stepped forward to explain.
"Alright! Dear journalists, thank you so much for coming to our shop's opening ceremony today. Everyone, please don't just stand there and return to your seats. The ribbon-cutting ceremony will begin soon."
The reporters looked at each other, and someone asked boldly.
"What's going on? Miss Bai, didn't you say this was a new project you were collaborating on with Mr. Tang and the others? You called us here, but now you're not letting us film."
Bai Lu opened her mouth to stop the man from speaking, but it was too late.
"Mr. Tang, we came here because we got the news. We don't have any other intentions. Didn't you ask us to come here to help with publicity?"
They can't afford to offend these big shots, so any problems must be resolved face to face.
After hearing this, everyone looked towards Bai Lu. Bai Lu didn't even look back, but she felt like a thorn in her side.
She forced a smile and explained, "This teahouse was indeed jointly invested in by everyone. I am very grateful for the support of Mr. Tang, Mr. Fang, and Mr. Zhou. However, it has nothing to do with other matters. I hope all journalists will report truthfully."
"It's just a teahouse, there's nothing good to report about it."
"I woke up early to sit here, thinking I could get a headline, but it turned out to be just a joke from the big guys."
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have made this trip. What a waste of expression!"
After hearing this, everyone understood what was going on. The problem was with Bai Lu, but no one had time to ask Bai Lu clearly.
Tang Jingyuan cleared his throat and said, "Thank you all for coming all this way! The owner of the teahouse is Miss Bai, and we're just here to show our support. That's all!"
The reporters understood immediately and didn't dare to say anything else.
For Bai Yue's sake, no one embarrassed Bai Lu. Actually, it wasn't a big deal, but she hadn't been told in advance. It felt like she was being used.
Everyone forced a smile and completed the opening ceremony. The guests were all downstairs, and Bai Lu invited them to a separate tea room on the third floor.
"What do you think? I prepared this teahouse especially for you. It's not open to the public, so only you have the right to use it!"
Everyone took a look and didn't seem very happy. They were still upset about the reporter's incident.
The only thing left in the tea room was Bai Lu's awkward smile. Seeing that everyone was indifferent, she made tea herself.
"Brother Jingyuan, don't be angry, listen to my explanation first. This is all a marketing strategy, all for the purpose of making money. The coffee shop is just mediocre, so if you want to open it, you should make it unique. Everyone is in a sub-healthy state now, so health preservation is the norm."
Tang Jingyuan glanced at Bai Lu and saw that she had a sophisticated smile on her face, but there was a hint of alienation in her eyes.
"You know, that's not what we care about. You acted first and asked for permission later, and you even called the reporters. Bailu, are you trying to bully others?"
"Brother Jingyuan, don't say that. I'm just making rational use of resources. Besides, this was originally your investment, so I'm not wrong to tell the reporters that. As for the formula, I did get guidance from an expert, so there will definitely be no problem. You can rest assured."
Fang Le smiled in a rogue manner and looked Bai Lu up and down.
"Bai Lu, what on earth are you selling?"
"My health teahouse caters to both ordinary white-collar workers and, of course, the aristocratic ladies of Beijing. Health and beauty are what they seek. I do want to use your reputation to promote the shop, but it won't hurt anyone. I won't harm you!"
Everyone exchanged glances but remained silent.
Bai Lu looked at Tang Jingyuan: "Brother Jingyuan, don't you believe me too?"
"Regarding the health teahouse, please provide us with a detailed plan. Also, please stop advertising under our name."
Bai Lu opened her mouth and agreed.
"Alright, then I'll ask for everyone's consent before taking action next time. Something like today will never happen again."
Lu Anning kept staring at the brewed tea. It was called tea, but it wasn't just about the aroma. She carefully looked at the tea shop's tea menu. Whether it was a snack or a tea drink, each one had a unique name and its function was also noted.
There are affordable prices as well as high-end tea drinks.
I have to say, Bai Lu's idea is very good. However, she was a little puzzled. Bai Lu had never dabbled in Chinese medicine for health preservation, so how could she suddenly become proficient in it?
She asked curiously, "You said there was someone with great guidance. Who is this person? Can you tell me?"
