Chapter 173: Ren Hui's Boyfriend

Chapter 173: Ren Hui's Boyfriend

"Can I do it alone? Can't we use machines to produce it?"

According to Su Mengyao's idea, as long as she knew the formula, selected the raw materials, and purchased a production line, she could sit back and relax.

But if she had to do all this manually, Su Mengyao was not sure if she could stick with it.

"Emm... I haven't really thought about this question. After all, I just made some for my own use or gave some to you.

The quantity is not much, it is enough for me to make it by hand, and the recipe is also written according to handmade production.

If it is produced by machine, it will most likely not succeed."

Yun Zijin herself was relatively inexperienced. Ever since she got the formula for whitening and moisturizing rose essential oil, she had never thought of using it to make money. If Su Mengyao hadn't brought it up, she wouldn't have considered opening a store.

"Ah... Then I..."

"The formula is only useful if you have it in your hands. It's useless if someone else has it.

Don't ask why. The reason is that it is high-tech anti-counterfeiting.

If you're afraid of the workload, then set the target higher and sell in limited quantities every day. You know the effect yourself—99% of customers who buy it will become repeat customers."

Many luxury brands use hunger marketing tactics, but in the end, not many people line up to buy them.

"Then I... should try?"

Su Mengyao really wanted to have her own business. With Yun Zijin's technical support, she was just one step closer to success, and she didn't want to give up.

"Try it. If you have any questions about the production, you can ask me."

Su Mengyao was making money for her, so of course, Yun Zijin was willing to teach her.

"Okay! When I get back, I'll ask my dad to convert our guest room into my pharmacy.

I'm leaving first. We will sign the contract for opening a store together after I make the rose essential oil."

Su Mengyao signed her name on the authorization letter given by Yun Zijin and was about to go home to start experimenting.

As for the contract for their joint store, she had to make the rose essential oil first before she could know whether this business could succeed.

"Okay, don't get too excited and drive safely."

Su Mengyao looked so anxious that Yun Zijin was really worried she would get too emotional and lose concentration while driving, which could lead to an accident.

"I know, I'll pay attention."

Su Mengyao didn't even turn her head and answered while walking away.

After Su Mengyao left, the waiter brought the coffee that Yun Zijin had ordered.

Yun Zijin was not in a hurry to leave. Since she was already here, it would be a waste if she didn't finish her coffee.

"Yun Zijin?"

Just as she took a sip of coffee, she heard someone calling her name. Looking up, she saw Ren Hui holding a man's hand.

The moment Yun Zijin raised her head, the man with Ren Hui had a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

"Hui Hui, do you know her?"

Although he was speaking to Ren Hui, the man only had eyes for Yun Zijin.

Yun Zijin frowned slightly, showing obvious rejection towards Ren Hui's boyfriend.

"This is my college roommate. Honey, didn't you say you wanted to treat everyone in our dormitory to a meal? I think it's better to do it today rather than wait for another day. Let's do it tonight! Zijin, you should be free, right?"

Although Ren Hui's attitude toward Yun Zijin improved a lot after she found out that Yun Zijin was an Hermès VIC, personality is ingrained over time. Eventually, her attitude toward Yun Zijin slowly changed back—though not as blatantly as before.

Yun Zijin glanced at Ren Hui and said, "I don't think our relationship is close enough for me to attend a dinner your boyfriend is hosting."

For a boyfriend to treat everyone in the dormitory to a meal, the assumption was that they all got along well, without any hidden rivalries.

But it was obvious that she and Ren Hui did not get along very well.

"Oh, everything that happened before was just a misunderstanding. If you mind, I'll apologize to you.

Tonight, at the Four Seasons Restaurant. Invite Qin Sitong, and you must come!"

After saying that, before Yun Zijin could refuse, Ren Hui pulled her boyfriend away.

The man probably thought they would meet again that night, so he allowed Ren Hui to drag him away. However, before leaving, he gave Yun Zijin a meaningful look.

Yun Zijin narrowed her eyes.

Was Ren Hui really stupid, or did she have other plans?

Her boyfriend had just blatantly checked someone else out, yet she remained calm and insisted on treating everyone to a meal. It didn't seem normal no matter how you looked at it.

Qin Sitong's Call

Yun Zijin took out her phone and immediately messaged Qin Sitong about the situation.

At that moment, Forget-Your-Sorrow Milk Tea Shop was very busy, so she didn't expect an immediate reply.

After sending the message, she turned off her phone and tried to recall every move Ren Hui and her boyfriend had made.

Even after finishing her coffee, she still hadn't figured out Ren Hui's motive.

But… if the enemy comes, we will fight back; if the water rises, we will block it with earth.

She didn't believe that with Lingyi and the others around, Ren Hui could make any waves.

After finishing her coffee, Yun Zijin called the waiter, paid the bill, and left the café.

Just then, Qin Sitong called her.

She picked up immediately.

"Hello…"

"Zijin, are you sure you're not joking?"

The dynamics in their dormitory were very clear.

Ren Hui and Li Cui were on one side, while Qin Sitong and Zijin were on the other. Both sides usually didn't interfere with each other.

But now, Ren Hui's boyfriend wanted to treat everyone in the dormitory to a meal, and even invited her and Zijin?

This sounded suspicious no matter how you looked at it.

"Would I joke about something like this? By the way, have you seen Li Cui in the dormitory recently? Has she mentioned anything?"

"I haven't noticed anything unusual, except that Ren Hui has seldom returned to the dormitory lately.

I didn't ask, but do you think she's been staying with her boyfriend?"

Hearing Qin Sitong's guess, Yun Zijin found it very likely.

It was a personal choice, so Yun Zijin didn't think there was anything wrong with Ren Hui doing this.

"So, do you think we should go to this dinner tonight?"

Yun Zijin actually didn't want to go, but she also wanted to find out what Ren Hui was up to.

"If you're going, I'll go with you."

Qin Sitong personally didn't want to go, but since Ren Hui had specifically invited them, she figured she should at least show up.

After all, Ren Hui wasn't that important to her.

"Then let's go and check it out. But you must stay by my side at all times."

With Lingyi and the others around, Yun Zijin wasn't too worried about their safety.

"Alright, it's settled then. A customer just came in—I have to go."

With that, Qin Sitong hung up.

At the same time, Lingyi sent over information about Ren Hui's boyfriend.

Sun ZiAge: 28Occupation: Bartender at the Pink Lady Bar on Rongde Street (claims to be a wealthy heir just "experiencing life")

Seeing the rest of the report, Yun Zijin immediately knew this man was a complete scumbag.

While dating Ren Hui, he was also involved in ambiguous—and even intimate—relationships with multiple other women.
