Doomed to Be Cool, Duan Yi

Before takeoff, Yu Ningmeng sent him a message, telling him that the contract had been prepared and was placed in An Siyao's villa. She also sent Xia Yu a photo. Opening the photo, Xia Yu glanced at it and saw the seal indicating the contract was in effect. After responding with a simple acknowledgement, Xia Yu was about to switch to airplane mode.

At this time, Yu Ningmeng sent him another message: "Didn't expect Yao Yao to actually give you this company. When you get back, give me an authorization and I'll handle it for you." Xia Yu was puzzled. Yu Ningmeng's reply was very simple. "This company is going downhill. I was planning to deceive someone to take over it. If you don't need a takeover, you can keep it and be at a loss."

Xia Yu, who views himself as having Level 3 business skills, didn't think he could revive a company that's already been deemed to fail. He agreed with Yu Ningmeng's words. "What will happen to the stores under that company?" Xia Yu asked again. "Those stores? The management of this company is a bit shady. There are traps in the contract; all those stores are doomed," said Yu Ningmeng. "That's all. I'm busy with other things. Let me know when you're back." After that, there was no more message from her.

Xia Yu switched his phone to airplane mode. He pondered over what Yu Ningmeng had said, as far as he knew, this company was also associated with the An family. The previous company only had a traitor who wanted money; this time, it is in direct danger of failing.

He picked up his phone again and looked at the company's name: "Different Catering Management Co., Ltd." This company's main product is the "Unique Milk Tea Shop," which is the one Duan Yi was preparing to open. Originally, Xia Yu only felt that Duan Yi's milk tea shop wouldn't be successful and might make a loss, but now he was convinced that it was destined for bankruptcy.

Duan Yi's first business venture would end in failure. Unless Xia Yu reminded her not to join the Unique Milk Tea franchise, he thought she should decide on her own. He hoped she'd fail sooner and join him in the mobile gaming business later.

Thinking about the future when the media interviews Duan Yi about her entrepreneurial experience, she could use the excuse of the milk tea shop going bankrupt to boast. Xia Yu felt his kindness. By the way, Yu Ningmeng was planning to find someone to take over the business, which meant he would receive some funds. In that case, he wouldn't have to make an ordinary mobile game; he could create a 3D-skinned mobile game that could pave the way for future gaming technology.

He turned off his phone and put it in his pocket. The plane started taxiing, and Yuxue, sitting by the window, excitedly looked outside as this was her first time on a plane. After taxiing for a while, the plane shook and took off, with Yuxue marveling at the sensation.

The plane flew higher, and soon the airport became minuscule. The plane swayed and bumped, giving people a sense of weightlessness. Yuxue, who was on her first flight, looked pale and scared. She turned to look at Xia Yu, and seeing his usual calm expression, she breathed a sigh of relief. In the next moment, there was another slight shake.

At this time, Yuxue saw Xia Yu's previously relaxed face become serious. "Get ready to parachute," Xia Yu said to Yuxue.

"Eh?" The girl panicked, as the worry from the unsteady plane exploded into terror, "Where's the parachute? Where is it?"

The girl searched around, even wanting to tear apart the seat beneath her to check.

"In your heart." Xia Yu answered.

Yuxue, who was preparing to dismantle the small box under the seat, stopped her movement. She turned to look at Xia Yu, realized that she was being teased after seeing the joy on his face.

"Bullying me!" The girl glared at Xia Yu with dissatisfaction.

Xia Yu chose to change the topic. He reached out his hand in front of Yuxue: "No need to panic; this is a normal phenomenon. You can't expect a plane to be as stable as a high-speed train."

Yuxue turned away and didn't take Xia Yu's hand. Xia Yu didn't mind and put his hand on the armrest.

Three seconds later, the girl's hand reached over.

Holding Xia Yu's hand, Yuxue continued to look at the scenery below, her eyes filled with awe.

"You can take pictures if you like." Xia Yu said.

"No, it will interfere with the plane's operation." Yuxue was very doubtful about the safety of the plane and didn't want to take any risks.

Xia Yu didn't say much. He yawned and took out a newly released short story collection by Wen Ziying to read.

The flight from A Fang to Nan Ming was just over an hour. Soon, the plane neared its destination and began to descend.

The descent was a bit more turbulent than the ascent, and Yuxue gripped Xia Yu's hand tighter.

When the plane finally landed and began to taxi, the girl let out a sigh of relief.

"Flying is too thrilling." Yuxue concluded.

"It's just you scaring yourself." Xia Yu closed the book. The plane hadn't reached the designated disembarking point yet, and there was still some distance to taxi.

"It's really scary!" Yuxue glanced at the book in Xia Yu's hand, "Brother, you were in the literature department just like Wen Ziying in high school, right? Have you met her before?"

Yuxue was somewhat curious about the famous beautiful young female writer.

Xia Yu recalled Wen Ziying's personality and answered, "She's a bit of a weird one."

"A bit weird? Then Ning Qiuer is better." Yuxue said.

"Ning Qiuer?" Xia Yu felt the name was somewhat familiar.

"Last Mid-Autumn Festival, brother, after your performance, you slipped away, and Ning Qiuer came on stage!" Yuxue proudly said, "I even got an autograph!"

Xia Yu remembered that before, his counselor had informed him that there would be a surprise at the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he had forgotten about it while busy looking for Xu Youxiang.

That surprise turned out to be Ning Qiuer?

Ning Qiuer was a young female singer who became popular a few years ago, and she's rarely seen now. Her appearance at the event was indeed quite a surprise.

"Is she prettier than your sister Yao Yao?" Xia Yu asked casually.

"Uh... It's hard to tell." Yuxue was a bit conflicted.

"In that case, she's not. Those celebrities have an aura bonus when they're on stage. If they can't surpass even with the bonus, in reality, they're nothing." Xia Yu made a judgment.

"But I think Yao Yao also has an aura bonus when she performs." Yuxue added.

By that time, the plane had arrived at its destination, and the two ended the conversation, picked up their luggage, and walked off the plane.

When they left the airport, Yuxue asked Xia Yu, "Where are we staying?"

"At Xu Youxiang's house." Xia Yu replied.

The villa that Xia Yu bought for Xu Youxiang was about the same size as the one he had in Ziling, with plenty of rooms.

His unhesitant answer left Yuxue somewhat astonished.

Originally, secretly meeting with a girlfriend's best friend without bringing his girlfriend was already a bad thing to do, and now he was living directly in his girlfriend's best friend's house. Brother, are you not concealing it at all?

"Is this really okay?" Yuxue reminded Xia Yu.

"What's wrong with it?" Xia Yu retorted.

"Wouldn't Yao Yao ask about it?" Yuxue tactfully said.

"She knows," Xia Yu said.

Yao Yao knows?

Yuxue felt that the world of adults was a bit complicated.
