Lu Fan wasn't saying he wouldn't take it to heart at all, but he still had to give him some face.
He didn't want to argue with someone as hot-tempered as Zhou Ruan.
"Guests are guests, Mr. Zhou should really teach his sister a lesson. This kind of hospitality is very wrong."
Lu Fan showed Zhou Wen absolutely no respect.
Let her teach Zhou Ruan a lesson if she speaks frankly and honestly.
Although Zhou Wen was unhappy, she held back her anger.
After all, for the sake of investment, patience can keep things calm.
"My sister is a bit confused right now, but I'll talk to her about it."
That's what they say, but whether Zhou Ruan actually listens to it is another matter entirely.
After Zhou Ruan went downstairs, you felt really bad.
Several employees were also discussing it in whispers.
When Zhizhi saw Zhou Ruan coming down from the second floor, her expression turned sour.
I knew it all along; it must be because of Lu Fan.
Because of her bad mood, Zhou Ruan was also irritable with the coffee cups.
After a series of thrashings and shovings, it almost fell to the ground and broke.
"Sister Ruan, don't be upset. Don't take that rude guy too seriously."
When Zhizhi saw Zhou Ruan venting her anger on those cups, she couldn't help but run over.
Zhou Ruan wasn't actually that angry, but she just couldn't stand Lu Fan arguing with her.
His own sister is still protecting him like this, saying he'll explain to her later, but that's all nonsense.
By the time they reached an agreement, it was too late.
"It's alright, you go ahead and do your work." Zhou Ruan was angry, but she couldn't let her emotions affect her work. If it affected the customers, it would be a serious matter.
But no matter what, the more I thought about it, the more unhappy I became, and that anger just festered inside me.
Seeing that Zhou Ruan wanted to process her emotions on her own, Zhizhi wanted to say something but hesitated.
She knew that Zhou Ruan's tone was definitely not good right now, and she must have been upset by Lu Fan.
Thinking back to how kind she was when we first met, it seems I really made a mistake.
Zhizhi thought to herself: I must not give Lu Fan a nice face when I see him again.
The atmosphere on the second floor remained tense.
Having just weathered a storm, neither of them had yet recovered.
Zhou Wen was also thinking a lot, but Lu Fan still hadn't given her an answer.
Instead, he responded to her incoherently and without any connection to her words.
It's obvious they still don't want to give a proper attitude, but that's normal; making a decision all at once is a bit difficult.
Lu Fan came here specifically to take over the shop; if he were to suddenly become a shareholder, the change in attitude would be too drastic.
Most people wouldn't be able to accept this immediately.
“Mr. Lu, why don’t you go back and think it over carefully? It’s not too late to give me an answer when you’ve come to a decision…” Zhou Wen wasn’t in a hurry; she knew she couldn’t push Lu Fan too hard.
If it all comes to nothing in the end, then all of this will have been for nothing.
Finding a great opportunity is not easy, and Zhou Wen didn't want to miss it.
Seeing Zhou Wen say this, Lu Fan didn't stand on ceremony, knowing she was trying to save face for him.
The two of them are stuck in this stalemate, and they won't get anywhere with it.
It would be better to let him go back and think it over carefully.
"Alright then, that's what I was thinking too. But we need to be careful about this, and I can't make a decision right now."
Lu Fan wanted to take over the shop all at once.
If that's not possible, becoming a shareholder and gradually taking over the store isn't out of the question.
This way, they can have the advantage of being close to the source, and even if Zhou Wen doesn't admit it, there's nothing they can do.
After thinking for a while, Lu Fan quickly stood up.
"Then Mr. Lu, please take care. We won't see you off."
After saying that, Lu Fan left without saying anything more.
Seeing that Lu Fan wasn't so smug, Zhou Wen was certain that Lu Fan was thinking about this matter right now.
There's no time to worry about anything else. As for whether he'll come tomorrow, it's still uncertain.
Zhou Wen left without saying a word today, and she couldn't guarantee anything.
She wasn't good at guessing people's thoughts, but she had a clear understanding of how people thought.
That's what they said, but Zhou Wen was right.
Lu Fan was somewhat uneasy on the way back, wondering whether he should invest.
We'll have to keep pestering them to take over the shop. The chances of actually taking it over aren't very high, but it's not like there's no hope at all.
In comparison, Lu Fan felt it was almost impossible for Zhou Wen to hand over the shop to him so easily; investing in it might offer some hope, but that would be a long process.
He didn't know if Jiang Manyue could wait that long.
However, he thought his wife wasn't the unreasonable type.
If the reasons are explained, she should understand.
After seeing Lu Fan finally leave, Zhou Ruan couldn't wait to ask her older sister for clarification.
She was still seething with anger, and Zhou Wen was already on guard when Zhou Ruan stormed in.
She knew her younger sister must be very angry right now:
"Xiao Ruan, are you still angry?"
Seeing her older sister looking so relaxed, Zhou Ruan was naturally furious.
"Sis, why don't you talk to me about this properly? Don't forget, this coffee shop is a joint venture between the two of us."
"How could you let such a despicable guy invest without my consent?"
Listening to Zhou Ruan pour out her grievances, Zhou Wen helplessly began to explain.
"It's not that I don't want to talk to you about this, it's just that you acted too recklessly."
"I'm afraid that if I tell you, you'll mess it up, and then what will I do?"
“I know you hate him, but there’s nothing we can do about it. Finding an investor these days is incredibly difficult.”
"Moreover, Lu Fan is very generous and can bring a very good investment to Rella CAFE."
"If we can successfully persuade him, we won't have to worry about funding."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruan immediately understood the whole story.
Then I wasn't so angry anymore.
"But why did so many people choose him? It's because he's generous and gives a lot of money."
"But he hasn't agreed yet, has he?"
"What if he doesn't agree? Then it'll all fall through! Why should we put our hopes on someone else?"
Zhou Wen explained:
"This is only one side of the story. I've seen his business card; he's young, promising, and a CEO."
"The store is doing quite well right now, but funding is a problem."
"As you know, we started from scratch, so we're not exactly flush with cash. I've been thinking about this a lot lately."
