Chapter 172: The Family Advantage is Fully Demonstrated

"How can I not be anxious? This is related to whether I can achieve financial independence in the future!"

Su Mengyao was a little excited. "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Come over here quickly. I can't wait!"

After saying that, Su Mengyao hung up the phone, and Yun Zijin didn't even have time to say a word.

Yun Zijin knew that Su Mengyao was anxious, so she didn't delay any longer and took Lingyi and the others out.

When she arrived at the underground garage, Yun Zijin inadvertently caught a glimpse of the black Rolls-Royce Phantom in the corner.

Except for the license plate, this car was exactly the same as Lu Yunque's.

"Drive this car today. One of you should be my driver."

After saying that, Yun Zijin sat in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Zero One and Zero Two automatically stepped forward. Zero Two took the driver's seat, while Zero One sat in the passenger seat.

The others still got into their casually branded nanny cars.

Su Mengyao was sitting in the coffee shop in Wanyuan Plaza, which belonged to her family. She had already had a cup of coffee by the time she finally saw Yun Zijin arrive.

"Zijin! If you didn't come soon, I was going to go directly to your house to find you."

Since Yun Zijin started school, the two of them hadn't seen each other many times.

Su Mengyao complained to Yun Zijin on WeChat almost every day, saying that ever since she got closer to Qin Sitong, she had become her "ex-lover" while Qin Sitong was the "new love."

That's right—Su Mengyao felt that since Qin Sitong and Yun Zijin had known each other longer, they were the "old love," while she and Yun Zijin were "new love."

In TV dramas, they always say, "You only hear the new lovers laughing, but never the old ones crying." But in her case, it was the opposite—"The old ones keep laughing, while the new ones keep crying."

"I'm out, you wouldn't have found me at home anyway."

Yun Zijin said as she sat down opposite Su Mengyao.

"You already opened a milk tea shop with Qin Sitong, so it's not too much for me to open a beauty store with you, right?"

Su Mengyao had been thinking about this ever since she used the whitening and moisturizing rose essential oil that Yun Zijin gave her.

It's just that Yun Zijin had been busy with the milk tea shop recently, so she hadn't given a clear response to Su Mengyao's request.

"Of course, you can open a store if you want to, but let me make it clear in advance—I will not participate in the business management. I will only be responsible for the technical investment. If you can handle the management, then go ahead and open it. If not, then forget it."

The raw materials for the whitening and moisturizing rose essential oil could indeed be sourced in the real world, but the results produced by others would still be somewhat different from what Yun Zijin could make herself.

"No! I've used it myself, and it works great. If we promote it, we'll definitely make a profit."

Su Mengyao wasn't short on money. She had tried all kinds of expensive skincare products. But no matter how well they were advertised, none had effects even half as good as Yun Zijin's whitening and moisturizing rose essential oil.

At first, she had been worried that it contained artificial hormones, so she had sent a sample to an authoritative testing agency.

The results proved that the whitening and moisturizing rose essential oil that Yun Zijin gave her was completely organic and healthy, without any artificial hormones.

Originally, she hadn't planned on opening a store. The idea only came after she saw Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong open Forget-Your-Sorrow Milk Tea Shop together.

Since they were best friends, she felt that if Qin Sitong and Yun Zijin could open a store together, she should have her own store too!

She had hesitated to bring it up at first because Yun Zijin was busy with the milk tea shop, but now she felt it was time.

Su Mengyao's eyes sparkled as she stared at the whitening and moisturizing rose essential oil.

"You want to open a shop, but do you have a specific plan?

Although Tongtong and I opened a shop together, she goes there every day to manage it. Are you sure you can stay in the shop every day?"

The environment in which Su Mengyao grew up made it unlikely that she could sit still for long.

If she opened a store, she would have to find a way to produce the rose essential oil herself. After all, it was impossible for Yun Zijin to sit in a studio all day making rose essential oil nonstop.

She made rose essential oil for her own skincare, not to trap herself in production work.

"There's another issue—how will you handle the supply chain once the store opens? The most I can do is provide you with some of the extra I make but don't use.

If you expect me to produce rose essential oil for the store every day, that won't happen."

If she had wanted to do that, she would have opened a rose essential oil shop herself without waiting for Su Mengyao.

"I already asked Qin Sitong about your conditions for opening a store with her.

You invest in the technology, and I'll handle everything else."

If she couldn't do it alone, she could always ask Su Jingyun or her father for help. At the very least, their store wouldn't lose money.

And even if it did lose money, she could always ask her father for funds to cover any losses on Yun Zijin's side.

"Are you sure?"

To be honest, Yun Zijin didn't entirely believe that Su Mengyao could open a store.

Su Mengyao and Qin Sitong were completely different people. Qin Sitong managed to open a store because of her determination and resilience, but Su Mengyao…

Could a delicate flower raised in a greenhouse really withstand the wind and rain?

"Of course! And if I can't do it, I'll have my brother tutor me one-on-one!"

Su Jingyun managed Su Corporation with ease, so helping her with a store should be no big deal.

"Alright, I believe you. But the most important issue is raw materials. Are you sure you can source all the ingredients needed for the whitening and moisturizing rose essential oil?

It's not just roses—it includes several Chinese medicinal herbs."

While none of the medicinal ingredients were particularly rare, acquiring them in large quantities wasn't easy.

Of course, if they had their own herb farms, sourcing materials would be much simpler.

"Hehe, even though I don't manage Su Corporation, I still understand some things.

Several of Su Corporation's partners are medicinal herb suppliers. I'll just ask my brother or father to introduce them to me. It won't be a problem."

Yun Zijin raised an eyebrow. So this is the power of family background.

Qin Sitong had to run around and visit multiple suppliers just to source ingredients for Forget-Your-Sorrow Milk Tea. She had been so busy that she even lost weight.

But for Su Mengyao, all she had to do was go home and ask her father or brother for help. Problem solved.

"Okay. Then what about the store location? Among all the properties under my name, the only vacant space is in the food street near Teikyo University, but that location doesn't match the branding for rose essential oil."

"Don't worry about that. I'm the eldest daughter of the Su family. My family owns all of Wanyuan Plaza. Finding a store location is the easiest part.

Just sit back and collect your profits!"

Indeed, Su Mengyao's family advantage was on full display.

"Since you've solved all the issues, I have no objections.

This is the authorization letter—just sign your name.

Oh, and once you sign it, only you can produce rose essential oil. If someone else tries, the authorization will be invalid, so keep that in mind."

This was the same as Forget-Your-Sorrow Milk Tea.

If Su Mengyao was authorized, she could produce rose essential oil. But even if someone else used the exact same ingredients and followed the same process, all they would end up with was a pile of useless herbal residue.
