Chapter 403 - 402: Best Waiter

"It’s only 98 yuan. That’s not a huge amount of money for me. Besides, the shop is physically here. Even if there’s a problem, I can come back and hold them accountable. There’s no reason not to buy it."

The chubby girl truly wanted to lose weight, so even though she wasn’t entirely convinced, she still bought a cup. She wanted to give it a try, betting on the slim chance it might work.

"You... Fine, go ahead and buy it. If something goes wrong, don’t blame me for not warning you. I have something to do, so I’m leaving now."

After saying her piece, the refined girl left without a second thought, leaving the chubby girl alone. Watching her friend’s retreating back, she found it all rather baffling.

Yun Zijin blinked. "It’s alright. You can find a seat first. Someone will bring your milk tea to you when it’s ready."

"Okay, thank you."

The chubby girl thanked Yun Zijin, then found a two-person table and sat down.

Qin Sitong quickly finished making the Baonu Tea and placed it on the counter, where a server immediately picked it up with a tray.

As time went on, more and more customers filled the shop.

Qin Sitong was swamped making both Baonu Tea and Wangyou Milk Tea, so Yun Zijin had to step in and help make the Wangyou Milk Tea.

Even the men they’d roped into helping had to swallow their pride and start waiting tables.

"Sister Yun, you have way too many customers! I haven’t had a moment’s rest."

Sheng Yang took a brief moment while delivering a milk tea to complain good-naturedly to Yun Zijin.

"It’ll be better once we get through the rush hour. I’ll treat you all to dinner tonight!"

If you wanted people’s help, you couldn’t offer them nothing in return.

And the best she could think of was treating them to a meal.

Hearing that Yun Zijin was treating, Sheng Yang’s spirits instantly lifted. "Sister Yun, I’ll definitely be the best waiter of the day!"

Not to be outdone, Lu Yunfeng jumped into the friendly competition.

By the time the rush hour was over, Lu Yunfeng and Sheng Yang had collapsed onto their chairs, feeling like their legs weren’t their own anymore.

Watching them, Yun Zijin took pity and made each of them a Wangyou Milk Tea, personally bringing the drinks over and placing them on the table before them.

"Here, this is for you."

However, Yun Zijin didn’t play favorites. She asked Lu Yunque and the others what they wanted, making Wangyou Milk Tea for those who asked. Su Mengyao and Tu Tutu, however, got Baonu Tea.

Although the stock of Baonu Tea was low, with every bit used making the supply dwindle, there were still enough ingredients to make two more cups.

Su Mengyao and Tu Tutu held the Baonu Tea, their eyes shining brightly.

"Boss Yun, is the Baonu Tea really gone after today?"

The chubby girl, having finished her cup of Baonu Tea, came over to find Yun Zijin.

"For the time being, yes. But don’t worry, I’ll solve the issue as soon as possible and try to get Baonu Tea officially on the market soon."

Although the raw material issue wasn’t solved yet, Yun Zijin had the formula and believed she would find a solution quickly.

Hearing Yun Zijin’s words, the chubby girl’s eyes lit up. "I just drank a cup, and I feel so much better all over. I think it really works! I’m really looking forward to its official launch. I’ll definitely be here to buy it!"

The girl’s eyes were visibly brighter now than they had been when she was with her refined friend.

"Thank you for your support."

That was easy enough to say, but very few people actually followed through. Yun Zijin didn’t pay the girl’s promise much mind.

Besides, when Baonu Tea was officially launched, she probably wouldn’t be hurting for business, with or without her single order.

Like the chubby girl, many other customers who tried the Baonu Tea came to ask Yun Zijin when it would be officially available for sale before they left.

Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong gave the same answer to everyone: an official launch date had not yet been set, but they were working on it as fast as they could.

However, the day’s event showed Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong that the market for Baonu Tea was no smaller than that of Wangyou Milk Tea.

In fact, because of Baonu Tea’s weight loss properties, many people wanted it even if they didn’t drink Wangyou Milk Tea.

Business for the day didn’t finally wrap up until 10 p.m. The raw ingredients for the Baonu Tea, which had amounted to fewer than ten tins, were now almost completely gone.

Looking at the last one-third of a tin left, Yun Zijin took it out.

"There’s this much left. Does anyone want it?"

Yun Zijin placed the tin on the counter and looked at the others.

She didn’t need it herself, but it was possible someone else did.

"Me, me, me! Sister Yun, my friend has been trying to lose weight forever but can’t. He’s a guy, though."

Sheng Yang’s eyes lit up as he stared at the remaining Baonu Tea.

"Under normal circumstances, drinking it for seven days should do the trick. I’ll pack it up for you. One bag of tea per cup, one cup a day."

As she spoke, Yun Zijin retrieved some small, unused tea bags from the prep area and filled seven of them for Sheng Yang.

"Thanks, Sister Yun!"

Sheng Yang carefully took the seven small tea bags and immediately took a picture to send to his friend.

"Sister Yun, I’m not giving him this tea for free. Whatever I sell it for, I’ll give you the money."

Sheng Yang was a good friend, but ever since he opened his own bar, he’d become a notorious penny-pincher.

Yun Zijin glanced at Sheng Yang, not expecting him to say that.

"It’s fine. It’s just a little bit of tea. Consider it a gift from me."

Yun Zijin had no intention of making a profit from the leftovers. It made no sense to give something away and then ask for money.

"I’d like some too. Didn’t you say it can make you more beautiful?"

Su Mengyao looked eagerly at the tin of Baonu Tea on the counter.

After drinking the cup Yun Zijin had given her earlier, she felt her entire aura and energy had improved.

"Sure. You all can divide it. This is all that’s left."

Seeing Su Mengyao take some, Tu Tutu also ran up and asked for a little. In the end, the final third of the Baonu Tea was split among Sheng Yang, Su Mengyao, Tu Tutu, and Lu Yunfeng.

Fu Ze and Lu Yunque each grabbed one of their group, leading them to their respective cars.

"Villa No. 2 at Xingyu Mansion is finished with renovations. Want to go take a look?"

After he spoke, Lu Yunque looked at Yun Zijin with anticipation in his eyes.

"So fast?"

’It hasn’t been that long since Lu Yunque said he bought Villa No. 2 in Xingyu Mansion, has it?’

"Assistant Mo has been keeping a close eye on it. They wouldn’t dare delay the project."

Of course, another reason was that Lu Yunque had paid them far too generously.

"Then let’s go have a look."

Her own Villa No. 1 was right next door anyway, so taking a look wouldn’t stop her from getting home.

With Yun Zijin’s agreement, Lu Yunque’s mood visibly brightened.

* * *

A black Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly pulled up to the entrance, followed closely by two silver-white luxury vans and a business van.

"The renovations were just finished. I haven’t had time to arrange for staff to come over yet."

Lu Yunque led Yun Zijin into the main building and switched on all the lights in the villa.

"You can take a look around. If there’s anything you don’t like, we can still have them come back and change it."

The design style was Lu Yunque’s usual minimalist aesthetic, but the color palette leaned heavily on white, making the space feel bright and airy.
