Zhou Ruan, who was still feeling angry, immediately came to her senses upon hearing this.
Yes, why should I get angry? If I'm really angry...
Didn't we just find that brat's way?
"Luckily you reminded me. His arrogant look was infuriating."
Zhou Ruan had never really encountered anything she was afraid of growing up.
This time, she was really stumped.
"Yeah, he may be arrogant, but we won't get angry."
Seeing that Zhou Ruan had figured things out, Zhizhi happily returned to her work post.
On the second floor, Lu Fan truly proved the saying that he didn't treat himself as an outsider.
After arriving at the lounge, he sat on the sofa with his legs crossed.
Zhou Wen hadn't come to the lounge yet; it was empty.
I glanced at my watch; it was already 8:30.
He arrived at nearly nine o'clock yesterday, so it seems the landlady is also someone who is often lazy and late.
Lu Fan leaned back on the sofa and waited quietly, pondering how to deal with Zhou Wen.
He thought it over and over, realizing that if he didn't succeed today, he would really have no face to go back.
Lu Fan could only guess at Zhou Wen's intentions.
To be honest, he really couldn't guess what she was thinking.
That's why they say a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, let alone a woman who knows how to do business, her heart is incredibly meticulous.
Just as he was lost in thought, the sound of high heels clicking away came from nearby.
Lu Fan knew that Zhou Wen had arrived, so he quickly tidied himself up.
But he still maintained that arrogant attitude, which was a bit unexpected for Zhou Wen when Lu Fan arrived.
But it was exactly what she expected.
Seeing that he arrived so early, one could tell that he was quite serious about taking over the shop.
"Mr. Lu came to see me again today. It seems he's really determined."
After putting her bag down, Zhou Wen sat down.
"Of course, I already told you yesterday that I would definitely come today. I will keep my promise. I am always the kind of person who keeps his word."
If someone else had heard Lu Fan's words, they might have been moved.
But Zhou Wen could see the details here very clearly.
"Mr. Lu is quite sincere, and he speaks his mind directly. Of course, I am the same way, but I think I made some things clear yesterday."
"The chances of you taking over the shop here are almost zero. I advise Mr. Lu to give up. Even if you come for a week in a row, I think it will be a waste of time."
"Instead of wasting this time, you should look for a better storefront. There are plenty of better ones than mine."
Zhou Wen frankly stated these points.
She knew that Lu Fan wouldn't back down just because of what she said.
If he had backed down much earlier, he wouldn't have come today.
“What Mr. Zhou said makes a lot of sense, but since I’ve already chosen this shop, I won’t change my mind. If I were to look at other shops, wouldn’t yours become a backup option?”
“I think that’s very disrespectful, after all, it’s a store I like.”
Lu Fan is indeed that kind of person; once he sets his mind on something...
That won't change.
If it were changed, it would lose its original meaning and value!
"Not bad, not bad, I really admire you for that."
"But you should have already asked around here; there's a constant stream of people coming to me wanting to take over my shop."
"But I didn't agree to any of them."
Zhou Wen immediately gave Lu Fan a hard time.
But Lu Fan wasn't buying it; for him...
There's no need to be shy about discussing these kinds of things; there's no point in suffering for them.
"Indeed, if I had agreed to that, you wouldn't be the one sitting here chatting with me."
"But even if Boss Zhou didn't agree, why did you still ask to see me twice?"
"Do you intend to kick me out today?"
"Guests are guests, why should I kick you out? Wouldn't that make me seem very impolite?"
Zhou Wen narrowed her eyes. Was she trying to take the initiative?
That's simply impossible.
She hadn't met many people like Lu Fan, but she still knew how to deal with him.
"Since Boss Zhou has said so, I don't want to hide anything. Just tell me what you need. I really like your shop."
Seeing that reasoning with him wasn't working, Lu Fan resorted to appealing to his emotions.
In business, he's quite adept at playing the emotional card...
While you can't say you'll move the other party to tears, you can at least get them to agree to the collaboration project.
“I don’t have any demands, I just hope you can give it up. Even if you really like this shop, you can come here often, I don’t object. But I really can’t give up this shop.”
Zhou Wen also frankly stated that these were just foreplay.
She hasn't revealed her ambitions yet; she knows she can't reveal them so quickly.
Otherwise, it would seem like she has too much of a ulterior motive.
"Then I'll invest a little more. Mr. Zhou won't have any reason to refuse, right?"
Lu Fan used the same trick as yesterday.
But Zhou Wen wasn't falling for it at all, and to her, it was all useless.
"Since Mr. Lu is so insistent, I have a good idea. Let me hear it. Why don't you consider it?"
Seeing that Lu Fan was still so determined to take over the shop, they could no longer hide it.
“This shop is a joint-stock company, and it has always been run by my sister and me. But as you know, over the years, quite a few people have wanted to become shareholders.”
The atmosphere immediately became tense after those words were spoken.
Lu Fan had probably already guessed Zhou Wen's purpose.
Zhou Wen wanted to invite him to invest in Ruila CAFE, but she didn't realize that he wasn't short of money.
Moreover, taking over this coffee shop wasn't for making money, but simply to fulfill Jiang Manyue's wish.
But Lu Fan didn't intend to expose him; instead, he found it quite interesting.
Sometimes he felt he was being cunning, and he was also annoyed that he could see through people's intentions at a glance.
But sometimes we have to admit that this brings a lot of convenience.
"So, does Mr. Zhou mean he wants me to become a shareholder? But with so many people, why did he choose me out of all people?"
"That's because I think you're very sincere, and you came with genuine good intentions."
"Of course I can't refuse. Why don't you think it over carefully, Mr. Lu? Once you agree..."
"You know that the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages."
“The annual income of Ruila CAFE is also quite considerable.”
"When the shareholder system is implemented, dividends will naturally be a given."
