After the five of them sat down, An Rou leaned close to Lin Chen's ear and whispered, "Boss, did your roommate get into a fight?"
"My roommate is a very strong fighter, but the girl he fought was from Sichuan, you get it?"
An Rou nodded as if she understood: "So, he was hit by a girl."
Zhao Yu said with a dark face, "Can you two turn the volume down a bit when you're whispering? Whispering with the speaker on, do you think I don't exist?"
An Rou said apologetically, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'll keep my voice down."
Zhang Dacheng immediately stepped forward: "Zhao Yu, what Senior An Rou said is true. Why won't you let people tell the truth?"
Zhao Yu rolled his eyes. Zhang Dacheng always turned into a goofball whenever he saw An Rou. Although An Rou was petite, soft, and had a nice voice, but...
No buts! Who wouldn't want a girlfriend like that!
Zhao Yu wept silently inside.
After the barbecue was served, Lin Chen asked the owner to bring a case of beer and a bottle of cola.
He handed the Coke to An Rou, who pouted and huffed, "I don't want Coke, I want beer! Boss, my alcohol tolerance has improved, I won't get drunk after just one glass anymore."
Lin Chen sneered, "I don't believe you for a second. I don't want to carry you back later."
Zhang Dacheng stood up again, just about to speak.
Lin Chen immediately said, "Stop, Zhang Dacheng, I'm doing this for An Rou's own good. You don't want An Rou to get so drunk that she has a headache the next day, do you?"
Zhang Dacheng thought about it and realized that made sense: "Yes, Lin Chen is right, senior, you shouldn't drink anymore."
An Rou, dejected, mistook the lamb skewers for the dog owner and took a big bite.
Halfway through the meal, Lin Chen's phone rang. He took out his phone and saw it was Brother Dawei. Lin Chen walked aside to answer the call.
"Hey, Dawei, what's up?"
"Boss, our first game is finished!"
"Oh? So soon. I'll come over tomorrow. You guys save your game files and go home to rest early."
"Okay, boss, thanks to your full support, we were able to finish this game so quickly."
"Hehe, let's skip the formalities, we're a team!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen turned his head and saw An Rou secretly pouring wine from the bottle into Lin Chen's glass, intending to cover up the evidence that she had been drinking.
"Senior, stop pouring! It'll overflow if you keep pouring."
An Rou poured the wine with complete concentration: "Don't rush, my hand is very steady, I guarantee Boss Gou won't be able to tell at all."
"Then do you want to see who I am?"
"ah!!!"
An Rou turned around and was so frightened that her hand trembled, and she spilled the wine all over her chest.
Seeing this, Lin Chen sighed, quickly took off his coat and wrapped it around An Rou, then said, "I told you not to drink it secretly, look, you've spilled it all over yourself."
An Rou looked aggrieved, clutching Lin Chen's clothes to cover herself, her head bowed, not daring to speak.
Lin Chen handed Zhang Dacheng three red bills: "Old Zhang, could you help me settle the bill in a bit? I'm taking An Rou with me now. It's so cold, she'll catch a cold if she doesn't change her clothes soon."
"Okay, Brother Chen, you take Sister Anrou and go first."
After Lin Chen left with An Rou, Zhao Yu patted Zhang Dacheng on the shoulder.
"Zhang Dacheng, An Rou, forget about it. This senior only has eyes for Lin Chen. You have no chance."
Zhang Dacheng asked in surprise, "I didn't mean Senior An Rou."
"So this is your attitude towards An Rou?"
"Think about it, as the old saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. So the White Rabbit Lolita's friends must also be White Rabbit Lolis. When the time comes, I can ask Sister Anrou to introduce me to some girls around my age. Wouldn't that be a huge win for me?"
Zhao Yu was dumbfounded: "You know what, you really have to say, Lao Zhang, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, you're practically a genius. No wonder when I told you last time that Zhang Meng from Nana's dorm had a crush on you, you didn't react at all. I thought you were slow to react to feelings, but I didn't expect you to see things more clearly than anyone else."
Chen Tianfeng nodded and said, "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Please take me with you next time."
Zhao Yu chimed in, "Please be sure to take me with you too."
"Don't you already have Jiang Nana?"
“I’ve been beaten up like this. If I continue dating her, I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it back to Sichuan alive.”
That being said, no one can escape the "it smells so good" phenomenon. After finishing his barbecue and returning to his dorm, Zhao Yu received a call from Jiang Nana and then happily went off on a date.
On the other side, Lin Chen led An Rou toward 1901, with An Rou following behind looking aggrieved.
Suddenly, Lin Chen felt his clothes being tugged. He turned around and saw An Rou looking up at him with her big eyes: "Boss, I want to drink milk tea."
Lin Chen looked around and sure enough, he saw a milk tea shop. He patted An Rou's head helplessly and led her over.
"Boss, two cups of bubble tea, please."
"Okay, just a moment, it'll be ready soon."
The man making the milk tea was an older man. He was wearing a mask, but you could still see the wrinkles around his eyes. Lin Chen also noticed a notice posted at the entrance of the shop saying that the shop was for sale.
"Boss, why is the shop closed?"
"Business is bad. Now it's all chain milk tea shops. Small shops like ours that go it alone have no way to survive."
Indeed, back in 2009, brands like Migo, Yi Dian Dian, and COCO had already begun to sweep through Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, and several stores had opened near Jiaotong University.
Lin Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Boss, how much are you planning to sell this shop for?"
The shop owner looked up at Lin Chen in surprise: "You want to rent it?"
"I might consider it if the price is right."
Lin Chen knew that his boss thought he was unreliable because of his young age, so he took out the Porsche car keys from his pocket and waved them in his hand.
Sure enough, the boss started to take it seriously when he saw the Porsche car keys.
"This shop is mine. The annual rent is 50,000 yuan, and the equipment, tables, chairs, and everything else for the milk tea shop are all bundled together for 20,000 yuan."
"Okay, leave your contact information. I'll come over tomorrow to sign the contract with you."
As An Rou sipped her freshly brewed milk tea and walked with Lin Chen along the streets still carrying the scent of Christmas, she asked curiously, "Boss, are you going to open a milk tea shop?"
"Yes, I'll cover all your milk tea from now on."
An Rou smiled sweetly, and then heard Lin Chen continue speaking.
"I also took care of the little one, she loves milk tea too."
"Hmph!" An Rou stomped her foot and strode forward.
Lin Chen was completely confused. What was going on? Why wasn't he happy about being invited to drink milk tea?
In my previous life, milk tea shops were everywhere. Heytea and Nayuki even occupied the best locations on the first floor of major shopping malls, with their market value increasing one after another. It was practically a unique economic development model in China.
Most importantly, Lin Chen himself loves drinking milk tea. Opening a nationwide chain of milk tea shops would mean he could drink milk tea for free wherever he went. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
