“Let’s meet at Yusong Recreation Club. When you arrive, give me a call or send a text message, and I will go out to pick you up.” Jiao Yushi answered Chen Cha’s question.
Chacha replied, “Okay, see you later.”
She took a taxi to Yusong and while on the way, it occurred to her that she should buy a car so it would be more convenient to travel.
But before that, she had to get a driver’s license.
When Chacha arrived at Yusong, she called Jiao Yushi.
Phone calls were more convenient than text messages. As long as the other person’s phone wasn’t muted, they would know immediately that someone was contacting them, whereas that wasn’t necessary the case with messages. She didn’t want to wait long.
As soon as she dialled the phone, Jiao Yushi answered. His first words were, “Wait a moment. I’m hanging up.”
Chacha: “……” Concise enough.
She had to wait for Jiao Yushi for about ten minutes. Fortunately, there’s a rest area in the lobby of the club, where one could sit and wait for people even if they weren’t a member.
Jiao Yushi came to the lobby and when he saw Chen Cha, he didn’t say much and just motioned for her to follow him.
The employees of the club were all a little curious. Jiao Yushi came there often but never brought a girl before. There were many beautiful girls in the club, but he never gets close to them as well.
Yet today he actually brought a girl with him, and she was even very beautiful.
That kind of beauty wasn’t only about the face and figure, but also her posture, her expression, and her temperament.
Although her appearance alone was already superior.
Chacha followed Jiao Yushi to his lounge.
He told her to sit down first, and then walked over to a cabinet, which was made of a lighter colored mahogany and transparent glass door. There were several rows of exquisite jars lined up on the shelves inside, probably containing things like black tea and coffee.
Mahogany wood wasn’t very expensive but it looks good when used to make furniture.
Jiao Yushi opened the cabinet door and asked, “What do you want to drink? Tea, coffee, and milk are all available.”
Chacha said, “Is there black tea?”
Black tea had a refreshing taste and was relatively mild. She doesn’t feel uncomfortable even if she drinks too much, so among various kinds of teas, it was her favorite.
“Yes.” Jiao Yushi made her a cup while he himself drank mineral water. He brought the tea to Chacha and said, “It’s Fortnum & Mason’s darjeeling black tea. I don’t know if it’s to your liking.”
“Thank you.” Chacha picked it up and took a sip of the rich tea. “I like it. This brand has a nice scent.”
“That’s good then.”
Jiao Yushi asked again, “Have you eaten yet?”
Chacha shook her head honestly.
“What would you like to have?”
Chacha thought about it and said, “What about you? Have you eaten?”
Jiao Yushi also shook his head.
Chacha said, “Perfect, let’s just eat whatever you want then.”
To be honest, she didn’t really know what she wasted for dinner and didn’t have any favorite food either, so she could just let him choose.
Jiao Yushi called for the staff and said, “Send two dinners over. Just use any fresh ingredients available today.”
The staff responded in affirmative and then turned to Chacha and asked, “May I ask if you have any dietary restrictions or if there’s any food you’re allergic to?”
Members would come there often, but people like Jiao Yushi who was close to treating this place as his own home were rare, and his consumption was relatively high.
The staff knew all about his preference for food, so there was no need to ask him.
Chacha smiled on the side. Since Jiao Yushi also didn’t know what to eat, the staff could just choose it for them.
Hearing the staff’s question, Chacha shook her head and said, “I have none.”
“Okay, one moment please.”
“En, thank you.”
After the staff left, Chacha took out the printed document and said, “Here’s a simple plan I made today, please take a look first.”
“Okay.” Jiao Yushi didn’t say anything more and perused the document.
Chacha sat opposite him, taking small sips of black tea and smelling its aroma. The temperature was perfect and the slight fragrance wafted in the air. Whenever she raised her eyes, she could see an extraordinary face, which was very satisfying.
Jiao Yushi had been reading the document for about ten minutes but Chacha didn’t feel the silence at all even though they didn’t exchange any words during this period.
She’s good at being silent and zoning out, so it’s fine when people around her were being silent as well.
When Jiao Yushi was done, he lifted his eyes and saw Chen Cha sitting quietly across from him. She must have never learned the proper way of sitting. Her feet were close together, giving the feeling of a good student with an upright posture, but her waist was leaning comfortably on the pillow. It looks a bit contradictory, but it wasn’t unsightly. Instead, she gave off a well-behaved and relaxed feeling.
A person’s stance in a strange environment could slightly reveal their psychological state.
There was no doubt that Chen Cha at this time was very confident and at ease.
“Done reading?” Chen Cha noticed him looking at her, put down the tea cup, and asked, “What do you think?”
“The first thing you want to do after starting a company is to sign Ning An, and the subsequent development are also all related to Ning An.” Jiao Yushi concluded, “You want to promote her?”
Chacha shook her head. “No, it’s only for the time being. Ning An is popular now because of me. She had a bad start but due to the later events, it all sounded like some kind of story, making her popular as a person. Now she can seize the opportunity to succeed in the industry.”
She paused for a moment.
Jiao Yushi said nothing, waiting for her next words.
Chacha continued, “If we want to make someone famous, can’t we do it?”
It was a pretty wild statement on her part.
Jiao Yushi raised an eyebrow. “You’re very confident.”
Chacha said, “I believe in my own vision. I will also sign other newcomers in the future. Ning An is just the first one.”
Jiao Yushi nodded and accepted her strong confidence. He said, “So you’ll invest six million and I’ll invest four. You’ll be the largest shareholder and I’ll only be on the background. But you shouldn’t be short of those four million, right? Even if you don’t have cash, with your credit and assets, a loan will be easy.”
“Yes.” Chacha smiled. “But this industry is an unfamiliar circle to me and I will need your help.”
Jiao Yushi nodded in understanding. He thought he would have to invest at least tens of millions in the early stage so he specifically went to trade stocks. He didn’t expect to only need four million.
Chacha said, “I’ll take care of the company’s everyday affairs. If you’re willing to do things, it’s also fine. If not, you can come over occasionally to inspect. Just come during meetings.”
“Okay.” Jiao Yushi didn’t ask any more questions.
He didn’t care about losing money in the first place and he only asked those questions out of curiosity about what Chen Cha wanted to do. It was just investing four million so he didn’t even bother to ask further.
After the two finished talking, dinner was served.
There’re scallops, rice noodles with prawns, pan-fried salmon, foie gras, salad, dessert and wine. Each plate was quite small in size and could be eaten in two bites. The presentation was very beautiful and stimulates the appetite.
Neither of them spoke while eating until they finished.
Jiao Yushi took a sip of wine and asked, “Are you full?”
Chacha nodded.
“Have you decided on the company’s adress?”
Chacha nodded once again and said, “I’ve decided to place it in Shuixie District. It’s close to Chengda University and is more convenient for us who still need to study. In the future, we can move to a commercial area if necessary.”
“Okay.”
Jiao Yushi shook the white wine in his hand and said, “How long are you renting your place?”
“One year.”
“I have a building under my name. It’s not very new but the decoration style is good and isn’t outdated. The location is also great so you can just move there when the time comes.” Jiao Yushi paused for a moment, then added, “I can give you a friendly price for the rent.”
