Chapter 82 [82] I have everything you want.
Tang Yuanyuan pulled her hand back and returned the soup.
This was too frightening. She tried to get Shen Yu to take back his words and brush the matter off: "Mr. Shen, please stop joking with me. I just want a job."
However, Shen Yu had already made up his mind to expose this matter.
"There has never been a more serious moment in my life than right now."
Tang Yuanyuan choked on the matsutake soup that she had hurriedly brought to her lips. She felt like it went into her nose and was very uncomfortable. She choked for a long time before she stopped.
"I'm really hungry now. Let's eat first and not talk about this, okay?"
There was a brief silence.
Shen Yu agreed: "Okay."
Unlike Shen Yu and Han Shuo, Tang Yuanyuan can treat him as she pleases. He is her benefactor and has given her many opportunities. Most importantly, he is very financially capable.
No matter from which point of view, Tang Yuanyuan cannot deal with this matter lightly.
She needs to use this time of meal to think things through.
She was unwilling to break up with Shen Yu unless it was absolutely necessary.
Tang Yuanyuan ate slowly while thinking, which made her eat more than usual. However, Shen Yu, who was always calm, had no appetite.
Tang Yuanyuan's expression was too calm and composed, without any surprise in her confession, which made him worry, was this the last lunch?
The delicious dishes tasted like chewing wax in my mouth. It was the longest meal in my life.
Tang Yuanyuan finally put down her bowl and chopsticks: "I should go back to school."
Shen Yu checked his watch. It was only half past twelve. "Besides this, don't you have anything else to say?"
Actually, it’s better not to talk about this matter if we can. Tang Yuanyuan doesn’t want to talk about it at all.
His lips were pursed into a straight line.
With Shen Yu's intelligence, he would be able to see that she was rejecting him.
Of course Shen Yu saw it, but Chinese culture is profound and extensive, and silence itself can be interpreted in two ways: denial and acquiescence.
Shen Yu would like to read it as the latter.
He admitted that this was a bit shameless, but he and Tang Yuanyuan were actually of the same temperament and both were action-oriented.
He is willing to move forward and risk failure rather than stand still and face certain failure.
"If you don't deny it, I'll take it as your tacit agreement to my confession. Can I understand that you are my girlfriend now?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Mr. Shen, in my heart, you have always been a gentleman. You would never do such a thing as forcing or being a rogue."
This is a very private box, and the waiter had already called people out when Shen Yu opened his mouth.
"If I respect your opinion, will you promise to be my lover?"
Tang Yuanyuan originally didn't want to refuse directly, but now, she had no choice but to say, "No."
Shen Yu: "Then I can't be a gentleman."
Tang Yuanyuan: "So, I can't refuse your confession?"
Shen Yu: "No, but I won't force you."
Tang Yuanyuan couldn't help but become serious: "Don't you think what you said is contradictory? You don't force me, but you don't allow me to refuse you."
Shen Yu said bluntly: "When I say not to force you, I mean that before you truly fall in love with me, I will not touch you. Your personal safety is free."
"I won't allow you to reject my confession because I can't accept you flirting with other men and pretending to be a couple. Not only me, but no man in the world can be so magnanimous."
Tang Yuanyuan originally wanted to say that she did not flirt with the man, but she changed her mind when the words came to her lips.
Why?
Why should she hold herself to his standards and maintain the strict separation between men and women?
He is not related to her.
The more he said this, the more rebellious she became.
"I want to ask you a question. I hope you won't lie to me, okay?"
Shen Yu said, "As for lying, you can rest assured that I will never lie to you."
Tang Yuanyuan: "When did you have this idea?"
Shen Yu chuckled: "What kind of idea? What kind of idea?"
Tang Yuanyuan knew he was doing it on purpose, and said with a stern face, "You know what I'm talking about, don't pretend."
Shen Yu: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, it's when you fall into my arms."
Tang Yuanyuan: "Before this, the gift box, let me handle the inventory, is it because of your thoughts, deliberately giving me bait?"
Shen Yu: "If I were a pervert, you would definitely not be among my choices. At first, it was simple, just admiration."
In other words, his original idea was very pure, just a little bit of compassion, and combined with his guilt towards Miss Song, Tang Yuanyuan felt a little relieved.
This means that Shen Yu has a relatively high bottom line.
Getting along with people means getting along with the lowest point of their character. It is easy to deal with someone if he has a high bottom line. But it is scary if he has no bottom line, because he will ruin your things unscrupulously.
Tang Yuanyuan: "If I don't agree to your request, will you kill me?"
Shen Yu thought for a while before saying, "I don't know the answer to this question myself."
Tang Yuanyuan's heart sank. "That sounds more like a threat. You said you wouldn't force me, but you are forcing me."
Shen Yu: "This brings us back to the question from before. If I let you decide, you'll just say, 'I'm not interested in you.' Then I'm doomed to never get you. So what am I after? Do I want you to give me a nice guy card?"
"Miss Tang, what gave you the illusion that I was such a good person?"
"Good people live on the 7 o'clock news, which may be in line with the thoughts of most ordinary people, but they are definitely not found in shopping malls."
"There are no generals in this world who are not stained with blood. If I were a good man who was easy to talk to, I would have died on the beach long ago, crushed to death by the waves."
"If I want something, I will try every possible way and use every possible means."
"The same goes for you."
Tang Yuanyuan: "Mr. Shen, I have to admit that you are quite good at sophistry, but that doesn't stop your behavior from being disgraceful. I can't be with you if you're like this."
Shen Yu: "According to my usual style, when you declined, I should have forgotten about it and never mentioned it again. I would have just turned away and disappeared. If it was any other woman, I would have done the same. But it's you, and I can't let go."
"I don't say I don't know because I'm not sure myself. If I saw you being affectionate with someone else, what would I do? Just imagining it is painful for me."
Tang Yuanyuan: "I don't have any romantic feelings for you, and you won't force me. Do you think this makes sense?"
Shen Yu: "Yes, it is of great significance."
"For me, this is just a beginning. From now on, whether I can make you fall in love with me is my ability. If not, then I am a waste."
Tang Yuanyuan: "If I can't fall in love with you, this relationship should have an end, right?"
Shen Yu: "Either you fall in love with me, or I give up."
Tang Yuanyuan: "There's no shame in admitting defeat. It's a way of returning to the right path. I advise you to do it as soon as possible."
Shen Yu: "If you're really so confident, there's nothing to be afraid of, right?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "I'm going back to school now."
Shen Yu: "Of course, I'll take you back right away."
Tang Yuanyuan was very upset, so she deliberately angered him: "I have a boyfriend at school. Even if outsiders think you are my relative, it is not good for you to show up at school too often. I want to go back by myself."
Shen Yu: "Don't forget, your relationship with Li Mu was fake, and now it's real with me. You have an obligation to end your fake relationship."
Tang Yuanyuan: "That's your one-sided opinion. I don't think there can be no real relationship between us. In the end, you will definitely admit defeat."
On the surface, it seemed that Tang Yuanyuan was afraid of Shen Yu's threat, but Shen Yu himself knew that the one he was really afraid of was himself.
He was also afraid of angering Tang Yuanyuan.
He carefully considered every word he said today.
He is the one who is very careful and scheming.
He handed her a mobile phone again: "As a man, I will take a step back. You can keep it secret for now. Take this. I want to hear your voice every night at 10 o'clock. Give me one day every Saturday."
If he took this thing, he would know everything about his whereabouts. Tang Yuanyuan certainly didn't want it: "There is a public phone in the school. I will call you on time."
"Mr. Shen really has a preference for Saturdays. My ex had dinner on Saturdays, so I want to spend Saturday with you too. Is Saturday your day to relax?"
Shen Yu: "I was raised in the West, and I can separate work and life. If you mind, you can change it to Sunday. I'm fine with that."
Tang Yuanyuan didn't want to anger Shen Yu: "Then let's do it on Saturday."
Shen Yu said sincerely: "Yuanyuan, I'm very happy that you made this choice."
"Mr. Shen, I hope you remember," Tang Yuanyuan said, "this relationship between us is fake, so I hope you will continue to call me Miss Tang."
Shen Yu could sense a hint of uncontrollable resentment, "Okay, Miss Tang, it sounds like you're very unhappy."
Tang Yuanyuan: "I don't think I should be happy."
Shen Yu didn't care about it. Like a gentleman, he gave in to her and opened the car door. "Even if you want to go back by yourself, there's no taxi or subway here. I can take you to the subway station, right?"
Tang Yuanyuan had no other choice. It didn't make sense. Shen Yu had done something excessive. He drove a luxury car and then he was so tired that he had to take a taxi.
If he is willing, let him be the driver. There is no reason for him to treat himself badly.
Tang Yuanyuan got directly into the back seat, closed her eyes and went to sleep, which meant that she refused to communicate anymore.
Shen Yu looked in the rearview mirror several times. He certainly understood what she meant. He drove silently for a while and saw a beautiful rice field. He turned the car and stopped on the ridge of the field. He got out of the car first and lit a cigarette.
Tang Yuanyuan opened her eyes and chose to get off the car.
"Why stop?"
Shen Yu took a deep drag on his cigarette and exhaled, the white smoke dispersing in the wind. "I was thinking, what can I do to make you less angry?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Just don't force me to fall in love with you."
Shen Yu smiled bitterly: "Do you think I don't want to?"
"Waiting for someone is hard, but waiting for someone you don't know if they will love you is even harder."
"Ms. Tang, I also hope that I can push myself."
"I'm sorry to have upset you."
The bitterness between Shen Yu's eyebrows was not fake, but Tang Yuanyuan still couldn't understand it at all.
In the subway car, there were also a few young couples leaning against each other. The girl's sneakers laces came undone, so the boy squatted down to tie them for her. The girl's eyes were curved with happiness, but Tang Yuanyuan just found it boring.
It’s not a big deal for me to tie the knot, so why should I be so touched if a boy ties the knot?
Without exception, the girls in Niwai are all cute and gentle. Li Mu always says that she doesn't look like a woman, and Tang Yuanyuan thinks so too.
She is more like a man at heart.
Shen Yu didn't want his gentle and beautiful fiancée, whose heart and eyes were filled with his love. This look... was really hard to describe.
After getting out of the subway station, she bought a popsicle and ate it slowly while sitting on the side of the road.
To be honest, when she heard Shen Yu confess his love to her, her first reaction was, would the school’s resources be gone?
She is no longer the little girl who was happy selling jelly for 20 yuan a day three years ago.
She had become accustomed to Shen Yu's resources, which were another world. If they were taken away now, she would feel very uncomfortable.
She was not a chaste and heroic woman. She had never thought about getting married, let alone remaining a chaste woman, but she did not like the feeling of being coerced.
Fortunately, Shen Yu has a high bottom line and is willing to give her a certain degree of respect, so it can be said that their date is nothing more than eating and watching movies.
Perhaps Shen Yu could give her even more resources. Would that mean she could soon become truly wealthy? In reality, her contribution was minimal.
As for whether Shen Yu would be hurt, it was not within her consideration. He was the one who forced himself on a relationship, and she also made it clear to him that she would not fall in love with him.
The premise is that she can really break up smoothly in the future.
She was wrong today. She should have set a time limit with Shen Yu.
She will surely become a truly rich person and gain freedom soon.
After figuring this out, Tang Yuanyuan stopped worrying about it and strode towards school.
As soon as I entered the campus, I met Han Shuo.
Han Shuo still greeted her with a smile: "Tang Yuanyuan, did you just come back from outside?"
Looking at Han Shuo's handsome appearance, she suddenly had an idea. Didn't Shen Yu say that he couldn't accept her flirting with other men?
If she plays with a man, will he give up on her immediately? This is really a good idea.
She asked bluntly, "Han Shuo, do you still like me?"
Han Shuo was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up with anticipation. "Did you break up with that little scoundrel? Of course I still like you. I'm single for you."
He actually called Li Mu a little ruffian, and Tang Yuanyuan suddenly lost interest.
She suddenly remembered that she was still Li Mu's girlfriend in name only. If she really did such a thing, he would be very embarrassed.
What's more, if Han Shuo took it seriously, she would be in trouble.
"You think too much. I just think you should live your own life. Goodbye."
On weekends, some students in the dormitory would go home, while others would go out to play together. It was normal for students to not return home at night. Tang Yuanyuan casually said that she had gone to visit relatives, and no one asked. However, her roommate said that Li Mu had come to see her twice. Tang Yuanyuan called him back and went to the library.
At ten o'clock in the evening, she called Shen Yu on time, still in a businesslike tone: "Hello, Mr. Shen."
Shen Yu held the mobile phone, and the depressed mood of the day disappeared.
He suddenly felt that it was right to take this risk.
I couldn't help but chuckle, "What have you been doing all afternoon and evening?"
Tang Yuanyuan took the microphone and changed direction: "Library, do I need to tell you everything I ate in detail?"
Shen Yu: "If you're willing to talk, I'd be happy to listen."
Tang Yuanyuan was unwilling to speak. She had only considered it a task and was very reluctant to do it. "I'm tired. I want to go back to the dormitory and sleep."
Shen Yu knew she was uncomfortable. He had never seen anyone call their boyfriend so stiffly, full of the tension of having to go to work. "I'm glad to hear your voice."
"Today I can finally say good night to you openly."
On the other end of the phone, there was a beep, and then the call was hung up.
Tang Yuanyuan didn't say good night to him.
Shen Yu touched his nose in amusement and became even more angry.
In the past, he was the one who hung up the phone first, but it was a good thing to lose your temper.
Is she no longer afraid of him?
Tang Yuanyuan had a full schedule of classes on Monday, and she also had to find time to attend a group meeting in the evening. Liu Lijuan reported on her work progress. The shop had been rented, right across from the school, and the decoration company had also booked it. She then verified everyone's work progress one by one, "...How's the dim sum chef poaching thing going?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "I have fewer classes tomorrow afternoon, so I'll ask about this later."
Liu Lijuan was a little dissatisfied, but she still smiled and said, "Miss, I know you are delicate and not good at running errands, but this matter is also urgent. It will take time for the other party to resign."
Of course, Tang Yuanyuan was not deliberately dragging this matter out, but she was not optimistic about hiring a five-star chef right away, so she did not want to take on this matter.
She wanted to get rid of it even more.
"I have no experience in recruiting people. I can run errands for you, but how about we go together? I can't speak."
Liu Lijuan: "Miss, you are destined to be rich. Okay, let's go together tomorrow."
She hasn't been to Bulgari yet, but since the expense can be reimbursed, she's happy to go and have a look.
Liu Lijuan is already a junior. She doesn’t have much coursework, and the internship experience is the most important thing to her now. The next afternoon, she went to Bulgari with Tang Yuanyuan.
The decoration here is more prosperous than the appearance. Liu Lijuan didn't even know how to order. Fortunately, Tang Yuanyuan was familiar with ordering, so she just watched silently.
The cake came up quickly. Tang Yuanyuan ordered the same one she gave to Liu Lijuan last time. She did it on purpose.
Liu Lijuan stared at it for a moment, then she picked up a spoon and took a bite and understood.
I froze for a moment in embarrassment, choosing to pretend to be ignorant even though I knew the truth.
"As expected of a five-star master, this cake is delicious."
Tang Yuanyuan picked up a glass of water and smiled lightly: "You are right."
"Do you want me to call the pastry chef directly over?"
Liu Lijuan also forced a smile, not wanting to lose face: "Of course."
Tang Yuanyuan had attended so many events with Shen Yu that she could calmly tell the waiter, "Please, call your dim sum chef over."
Li Lijuan observed secretly and kept everything in mind. It turned out that here, one should have the attitude of a customer.
Tang Yuanyuan only ate snacks and drank soda in small bites.
Across from them, Liu Lijuan outlined the cake shop's nationwide expansion plans. "...In the next three years, we plan to open over a thousand cake shops nationwide. The profits from this will be in the billions. The market is huge. If you're willing to come and control the products, the salary is negotiable, and more importantly, there will be annual dividends..."
It has to be said that college students at Fudan University still have a very high status in society.
The dim sum chef's name is Wei Hai, he is 42 years old this year. He was obviously delighted by this unexpected good thing and was very tempted. Although he said that he would think about it first, Tang Yuanyuan felt that he probably wanted to discuss some more conditions.
Two days later, Liu Lijuan announced that she had successfully poached the person.
Tang Yuanyuan asked about it, and sure enough, the conditions offered were very generous, with a base salary of 1,000 yuan a month and an annual dividend of 10% of the turnover.
Tang Yuanyuan did some calculations. The monthly rent for the cake shop is two thousand yuan, plus the chef's salary and the helper's salary, the basic cost for this month is close to five thousand yuan. The raw materials are calculated at three thousand yuan a month, and the monthly turnover must reach eight thousand to break even. In other words, the first one hundred or so cakes sold every day are costs.
Tang Yuanyuan went to Bulgari to buy a cake, then took the subway to find Zhu Yue. "Try it, can you make something like this?"
Zhu Yue took a small bite and said, "I have some guesses about its ingredients, but cakes can be added relatively freely. I can try it, but I can't say if it can be made exactly the same."
Tang Yuanyuan: "It's okay, you try it first and I'll give it a try."
While Zhu Yue was busy, Tang Yuanyuan chatted with her: "How much is the monthly salary of a formal baker in your store?"
Zhu Yue: "There are 600 yuan!"
Tang Yuanyuan guessed that Wei Hai's salary at Bulgari should be a little over a thousand.
She really spent double the salary to recruit this person.
Although Liu Lijuan is still a student, Tang Yuanyuan feels that she is not stupid. In her marketing planning, she has the gimmick of a five-star cake maker, and her pricing is twice that of ordinary cake shops.
Zhu Yue spent an hour making the cake. Tang Yuanyuan took a bite and felt that the taste was very similar. Although the appearance was not as gorgeous, it was still good.
Zhu Yue said, "I think yours is a bit too sweet. From what I've observed, Chinese people don't like overly sweet things. I'll make it a little lighter. Is that okay with you?"
Tang Yuanyuan bent her fingers and tapped the table three times. "Zhu Yue, come work with me. I'll hire you as a formal baker and pay you 700 yuan a month. Is that okay?"
Zhu Yue was of course happy: "Okay!"
Tang Yuanyuan decided to open her own cake shop next to Liu Lijuan's shop, and go for the affordable route. However, she couldn't show up for the time being, so she let Li Mu be the boss.
Liu Lijuan has sufficient funds and a marketing plan. Her store is located nearby, so she doesn't have to worry about increasing her popularity. She can get a lot of benefits.
Li Mu was indeed happy about this: "I'm almost bored to death, and now I have a business to do. Of course I'll do it!"
Tang Yuanyuan gave him the information of several decoration companies and left all these matters to Li Mu. Tang Yuanyuan only made decisions behind the scenes. The two had to meet every day to discuss the details. Tang Yuanyuan didn't want people in the school to know about this, so the two agreed to meet at a restaurant outside the school in the evening.
On the surface, Tang Yuanyuan was still doing her best to run errands for the cake shop project, never missing a meeting and working very hard.
"Mr. Shen, Professor Wan, why are you here?"
Liu Lijuan suddenly stood up from her seat. Tang Yuanyuan turned around and saw that Shen Yu was walking with the professor and he was looking at her.
Tang Yuanyuan looked away. Today was only Thursday, and it was not the date on Saturday at all.
Shen Yu sat down next to Tang Yuanyuan and said, "I came to see the professor for something. I just happened to remember the cake shop project and wanted to check on its progress."
Tang Yuanyuan thought to herself, I am planning to steal your business and hope that your cake shop project fails.
Liu Lijun praised the project a lot: "The renovation is already underway and is expected to be completed in about a month. We are also busy right now. From packaging to suppliers and marketing methods, we are comparing prices..."
Shen Yu nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, I'll come and take a look when the cake shop opens."
Everyone was talking at once and exchanging polite greetings, but Tang Yuanyuan kept his head down the whole time, acting as if he was air.
Someone tapped my head.
She tilted her head and looked at Shen Yu's face: "Come out with me for a moment. I brought you something."
Tang Yuanyuan could only stand up and follow Shen Yu out of the activity room: "Today is only Thursday, and the day after tomorrow is Saturday."
Shen Yu: "I'm glad you still remember."
Tang Yuanyuan: "I just can't bear to give up your resources. I'm a realistic person."
Shen Yu: "I suddenly realized that I'm very lucky. I have everything you want."
"Feel free to use it."
Tang Yuanyuan found it very boring and thought to herself, I'll get the resources, but there won't be any love.
