Before anyone could react, the woman had already walked to the order counter.
Lu Fan turned his head and saw that the beautiful woman was very close to him.
After seeing the woman's face clearly, Lu Fan sighed and stared at her intently.
He had seen plenty of beautiful women, but a beauty like this was truly rare.
"Boss lady, you're back! There's a customer here looking for you; he's been waiting for a long time."
Zhizhi, carrying a cup, walked over and pointed at Lu Fan as she spoke.
Lu Fan hadn't reacted yet until Zhou Ruan couldn't stand it anymore and pulled him back to his senses.
Seeing Lu Fan's infatuated expression, Zhou Ruan's disgust for him increased even more.
He's clearly just after his sister's beauty, yet he pretends to be doing business. It's so hypocritical.
After hearing this, Zhou Wen slowly turned her head, a meaningful smile appearing on her lips.
She then parted her red lips slightly and asked, "What brings you here, sir?"
"Ahem, I have a small business deal to discuss with you. Is this a convenient time, miss?"
Although Lu Fan was initially attracted to Zhou Wen, he quickly came to his senses.
However, I couldn't help but admire Zhou Wen's beauty; she was so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off her.
"Then come with me to the lounge to discuss this further."
She then gestured for Lu Fan to follow her, and Zhou Wen told Lu Fan to go to the lounge.
Zhou Ruan almost couldn't help but stop him, but fortunately she managed to restrain herself.
Thinking that her older sister would definitely handle it well, Zhou Ruan would be the first to rush to Lu Fan's aid if he dared to do anything bad!
"Xiao Ruan, please help carry the new goods in later. The master is waiting outside."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Fan looked at Zhou Ruan with a victorious expression.
Zhou Ruan was not to be outdone and glared back at Lu Fan.
"knew!"
As Zhou Ruan spoke, she gritted her teeth, wishing she could kill Lu Fan with her eyes.
After going up to the second floor, Lu Fan followed behind Zhou Wen, looking at the store's decor.
"That person just now probably wasn't an ordinary employee."
Unable to contain his curiosity, Lu Fan asked directly.
"Of course not, she's my sister. We run this shop together. What, it seems you're quite interested in my sister?"
Hearing Zhou Wen say that, Lu Fan recalled Zhou Ruan's expression just now.
That girl was pretty, but she had a terrible temper.
"You must be joking. I have no interest in a hot-tempered little madwoman."
Zhou Wen wasn't angry when Lu Fan said that about Zhou Ruan; instead, she laughed.
This is the first time someone has described her silly younger sister.
"Sir, please have a seat. Tell me what you need me for and why you've waited so long for me."
The two sat facing each other, and Lu Fan didn't want to keep them in suspense.
If we finish sooner, we can go back to be with Jiang Manyue sooner.
"Having waited so long, I'll get straight to the point. My name is Lu Fan, and I really like this coffee shop. I hope you, Mr. Zhou, can make a purchase. Money is no object."
After hearing Lu Fan's words, Zhou Wen fell silent for a moment.
Then he smiled knowingly and said, "Mr. Lu, I'm afraid you've made a wasted trip. What makes you think I would give away a coffee shop that I've been running so well? Besides, this coffee shop is my life's work. If you really want an answer, it's that I'm not selling it."
Zhou Wen was also straightforward and didn't try to keep anyone in suspense.
Lu Fan was not surprised by her refusal.
He had planned ahead, regardless of the cost or the price he would have to pay.
He would use any means necessary to take over the store.
"Mr. Zhou's refusal is so decisive, it seems he's made up his mind. But I'm sorry, I'm here today also determined to take over this shop. If you hadn't insisted on not selling, I wouldn't have given up."
Zhou Wen was already used to Lu Fan's persistence.
Her unique coffee-making skills, combined with the location's appeal, ensured a constant stream of customers every day.
Naturally, this attracted many envious people who wanted to take over the shop or invest in it, but she rejected them all.
This café holds deep significance, much like a child she and Zhou Ruan have raised little by little.
Only the two of them know what happened along the way.
It's completely impossible for the two of them to give up their children.
"Since Mr. Lu is so persistent, there's nothing I can do. To be honest, quite a few people come to my shop every day wanting to take it over. As you can see, I'm still the owner here."
Zhou Wen also had strong feelings for Lu Fan; she had seen quite a few people like him before.
However, driven by greed, many people wanted to take over the coffee shops because they saw that the coffee shops were doing very well.
"Mr. Zhou, in that case, what do you think of this number?"
Seeing that Zhou Wen remained unmoved, Lu Fan simply held up his hand and gestured a number.
Zhou Wen naturally knew what it meant and immediately shook her head.
Lu Fan kept raising the stakes, but Zhou Wen remained unmoved.
Lu Fan was also feeling uneasy; this beautiful woman really was impervious to both soft and hard approaches.
A coffee shop offered five million, but the coffee shop refused to pay.
"Does Mr. Lu really think that a mere five million can buy my shop? Isn't that underestimating him?"
As Zhou Wen spoke, she raised an eyebrow in disdain.
Seeing Zhou Wen's outrageous demands, Lu Fan sneered inwardly.
It's just a matter of money, isn't that simple?
He immediately blurted out, "Six million! If Mr. Zhou thinks it's too little, we can raise the price further. Of course, I also need to show my sincerity. I really want to take over this shop."
“Not only is it less, it’s also far worse. This shop is priceless to me. Mr. Lu thought I would be moved by such a small amount of money, but the answer is no.”
Zhou Wen didn't want to waste any more time and just wanted to get rid of this uninvited guest as soon as possible.
But Lu Fan didn't back down when he heard this; on the contrary, he felt it was even more challenging.
However, raising prices further now would certainly be futile.
Lu Fan knew that no matter how much he pleaded, Zhou Wen would never agree.
His wife wanted this coffee shop, so naturally he wouldn't give up on it.
But at this moment he had to go back; a small setback the first time was nothing.
"Since Mr. Zhou has said so, I'll give up for today, but I'll come and bother you again tomorrow."
Hearing Lu Fan say that, Zhou Wen naturally didn't show any displeasure.
That's what everyone who came to the shop said, but by the next day, they were nowhere to be seen.
Even a fool would know that this is just an excuse to justify himself.
"In that case, Mr. Lu, please take care and don't see me off."
