Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 187: All the good stuff is fed, Qiu Yingying is broken (please give me a monthly ticket!)
On the highway, Lin Yuan's car was speeding like an arrow, and the scenery outside the window seemed like a flowing scroll, rapidly receding backwards.

Although Andy knew that she could contact Dean Yang at any time to inquire about Xiao Ming's recent situation; she could also have a video chat with Xiao Ming; and she could go to Daishan to visit Xiao Ming on weekends and holidays, she still couldn't help feeling empty in her heart.

Andy can only slowly digest the sadness of parting by himself.

Andy held her phone in her hand, flicking through the photos of Xiao Ming's paintings and the photos of her and Xiao Ming. Every time she flicked her finger, the corners of her mouth would unconsciously rise, revealing a gentle smile.

And with Lin Yuan quietly accompanying him, Andy's depressed mood gradually returned to his usual calm.

When the car drove into the Magic City, it was already noon.

Lin Yuan did not rush to take Andy back to the Ode to Joy community, but instead found a restaurant with a quiet environment.

After a while, the delicious meals were brought to the table by the waiters one by one.

"Old Tan wants to see you." Andy's beautiful eyes smiled, with a bit of ease in her eyes, and she said softly: "I told him before, he will help you get some help, I'll take you to see him."

Lin Yuan did not show any fear, but agreed readily: "He has helped us so much, we must thank him in person."

Hearing Lin Yuan naturally classify the two of them as one, Andy felt as sweet as eating honey.

Lin Yuan picked up a plump shrimp tail and handed it to Andy's mouth. Andy's cheeks flushed slightly. He tucked his hair behind his ears and opened his mouth slightly with a bit of shyness to take it.

Lin Yuan raised his lips and praised: "That's right, from now on, whatever I feed you, you have to swallow it obediently."

Andy felt embarrassed and annoyed. She gave Lin Yuan a reproachful look, knowing that he had something else to say. Then she quietly raised her little foot under the table and gently kicked him.

This bad guy choked himself badly in the nursing home last night.

Lin Yuan still had a smile on his face, and said jokingly: "What I feed you are all good things."

"You still say that?!" Andy pretended to be angry, but there was a hint of coquettishness in his tone.

"I won't say anything more, just eat." Lin Yuan compromised with a smile.

After they finished their meal, Lin Yuan took Andy to check into the hotel.

It’s not that Lin Yuan had any special thoughts, but he was keenly aware of the lingering and reluctant look in Andy’s eyes.

After all, Andy didn't have much fun last night, and after returning to Ode to Joy, the two of them wouldn't be able to get along as freely as they do now.

The next day, Sunday, Lin Yuan and Andy walked out of the hotel.

Lin Yuan and Andy prepared some small gifts for the girls on the 22nd floor. Of course, these gifts were mainly prepared for Guan Juer, and the others just followed suit.

At noon, Lin Yuan and Andy came to the door of Room 2202 side by side, and he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and when Guan Juer saw Lin Yuan, her eyes lit up instantly, and the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a genuinely happy smile.

She was wearing a white floral dress, exuding a light scent of perfume, with soft hair draped over her back and a fresh and elegant make-up on her face.

In fact, Guan Juer already knew that Lin Yuan and the others would be coming back today, and she was looking forward to meeting Lin Yuan.

Seeing Andy was also beside Lin Yuan, she called out crisply, "Brother Lin, Sister Andy."

Lin Yuan smiled and asked, "Are you home alone?"

As he said this, he and Andy walked into the house together.

Guan Juer shook her head slightly and explained softly, "Sister Fan went out early in the morning, Yingying is in the room."

Qiu Yingying is now unemployed and has no strong professional skills, so she has encountered difficulties in finding a job. When she has nothing to do, she reads motivational books at home.

High emotional intelligence and spiritual support are some consolation.

Low emotional intelligence, escaping from reality, and deceiving oneself.

As for Fan Shengmei, she went out early in the morning. I don’t know whether she went on a date with someone or to help Wang Baichuan find a house.

"Andy brought this for you."

Lin Yuan handed over several beautifully packaged boxes of chocolates at the right time.

Guan Juer took it with both hands, looked at Andy and said gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Andy."

At this time, an excited voice came from behind Qiu Yingying's half-open door.

“Greed leads to failure!”

“Have your own dreams!”

“I’m the next Bill Gates!”

Lin Yuan asked Guan Juer curiously: "What is she shouting in the room?"

Guan Juer was already used to this scene, she smiled helplessly: "I'd better call Yingying out first."

As she spoke, Guan Juer walked briskly to Qiu Yingying's door, raised her hand and gently pushed the door open: "Yingying, Sister Andy brought us gifts."

"Gift? What gift?" Qiu Yingying's voice was full of surprise. She paused the passionate speech of the success guru in her notebook and hurried out with a book in her hand.

When she saw the chocolates on the table, her eyes widened and shone, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, so many chocolates."

Qiu Yingying turned the book in her hand upside down on the table, took the chocolate on the table, and couldn't wait to open it and taste it.

Out of curiosity, Andy walked to the table and looked at the book that Qiu Yingying was lying on the ground. The title of the book was "Be the Best You".

She couldn't help but turn the book over, and after just a few glances, her expression changed slightly.

Qiu Yingying was chewing chocolate in her mouth, her cheeks bulging. She was eating happily. She noticed Andy's strangeness and looked at her puzzledly: "What's wrong?"

Andy cleared his throat gently and read out a story from the book: "A farmer who had never left home traveled all over China to collect debts. The debtor fled abroad, and he followed him abroad without returning home. Then he unexpectedly discovered business opportunities abroad and turned around to become a generation of overseas Chinese leaders."

Andy couldn't help laughing after reading this story. This kind of story is full of loopholes and can only deceive those who are inexperienced and eager to make a comeback.

Lin Yuan took over the conversation with a smile: "Your imagination is still not bold enough. Why don't you just write that this farmer seduced the debtor's daughter?"

It's just an unrealistic fantasy of a migrant worker who can't collect his debts.

When Qiu Yingying heard this, she immediately got furious, her eyes widened and she glared at Lin Yuan.

Andy explained to her, "First of all, a farmer travels all over the country and even overseas. The transportation fee he needs to pay along the way is an outrageous amount. Secondly, how did he accurately locate the debtor? Finally, don't believe the story that there is gold everywhere. Not long ago, there was a story about a doctor who faked his doctorate."

Qiu Yingying argued with her, stiffening her neck: "Don't disbelieve me, there really is such a person. I checked online. If you don't believe me, I'll check it out for you now."

"I know there might be such people, but stories like this are usually three-tenths true and seven-tenths false, so they can deceive you."

When Andy looks at a problem, he is always so objective and direct, and does not express his views in a roundabout way.

Lin Yuan smiled and picked up a piece of chocolate, gently handing it to Guan Juer's mouth. Guan Juer's cheeks flushed slightly. She glanced at the two women who were talking, and seeing that they didn't notice her, she secretly opened her mouth to take it.

Qiu Yingying felt a little uncomfortable. She grabbed the book and held it in her arms, saying loudly, "Anyway, seeing this book makes me full of energy!"

Lin Yuan couldn't help but complain: "I am motivated, but I haven't done anything."

Thinking of those success quotes that were all the rage in short videos in his previous life, he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

"How much money you have spent determines how magnanimous you are!"

"I'll give one million to anyone who betrays me! Bang! Then those who will be loyal to me in the future will get several hundred million!"

"Understand the applause!"

People who read these success books and watch videos all day long will have it in their life.

Of course, he also loved watching it at that time, but it was completely from a mocking perspective. "Humph! It's none of your business!" Qiu Yingying responded angrily.

Andy wanted to give her some more advice: "But these illogical and inflammatory books are not good books. You really shouldn't read them."

Ever since he met the four girls on the 22nd floor and Lin Yuan, Andy gradually fell in love with the noisy atmosphere of the place and began to cherish these friends.

She didn't want to see Qiu Yingying obsessed with these inspirational books and seeking comfort from imaginary stories.

Lin Yuan reached out and pulled Andy back: "She is just a stubborn person, she won't listen now."

Qiu Yingying immediately retorted: "You are the stubborn one!"

Lin Yuan was not angry. With a smile on his face, he asked slowly, "Will reading these books help you find a job? Will it help you make money? Oh, it doesn't matter. Your dad has money anyway. He can work hard for a month and pay your monthly rent and living expenses. That's good too."

When Qiu Yingying heard this, she was like a defeated rooster. Her eyes turned red and tears flowed uncontrollably.

She lost this job because of a relationship, and now has to rely on her parents for support every month. Looking at the people around her, they are all so outstanding, while she has a hard time even finding a job. This psychological gap makes her feel aggrieved and uncomfortable.

"I hate you!"

Seeing this, Guan Juer hurried forward to comfort her, gently patted Qiu Yingying's shoulder, and said softly: "Yingying, don't cry, Brother Lin didn't mean to mock you, he just wanted to motivate you, this is a provocation!"

Qiu Yingying bit her lip, wiped away her tears stubbornly, and said firmly: "I will definitely find a job!"

The fighting spirit was rekindled in her eyes.

Lin Yuan still smiled and said: "Then congratulations in advance, I can barely pay the rent and living expenses."

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

"You..." Qiu Yingying was so angry that she couldn't speak. She stomped her feet helplessly, looking aggrieved but helpless, and tears almost came out again.

Guan Juer had no choice but to continue to comfort Qiu Yingying softly, and then looked at Lin Yuan with pleading eyes, asking him to stop attacking Qiu Yingying.

Andy was also speechless. Qiu Yingying's defense was really broken this time.

Lin Yuan felt a little reluctant to see this scene, but Qiu Yingying had too many shortcomings in her character. If he didn't break them down and crush them now when she was at the lowest point, how could he change her?

I will make it up to her later for the tears I shed today.

Andy gently pulled Lin Yuan's arm and took him out of Room 2202. If Lin Yuan stayed here any longer, Qiu Yingying would cry like crazy.

Originally, Guan Juer was planning to go out and play with Lin Yuan for half a day, but given the current situation, she had no choice but to continue comforting Qiu Yingying at home.

……

On Monday, Andy returned to Shengxuan Group to work, with Guan Juer in the car.

Lin Yuan drove behind Andy and followed him all the way.

After arriving at Huaxin Securities, Guan Juer got out of the car, turned to look at Lin Yuan's car, waved gently and said goodbye to him.

Afterwards, Lin Yuan and Andy drove towards Shengxuan Group.

When he came to meet Tan Zongming this time, Lin Yuan did not bring any gifts. Bringing gifts would seem like he had something to ask of Tan Zongming, which would seem too deliberate.

Andy didn't understand the ways of the world, and since she had known Tan Zongming for so many years, she naturally didn't care about them.

Lin Yuan followed Andy to her office, found a chair and sat down next to her. The two talked in a low voice, and Andy chuckled from time to time at Lin Yuan's words.

Andy's subordinates couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw this scene.

When has Andy, who is usually cold as ice, ever laughed so happily?

And the target is a young and handsome man.

The image of the ice beauty has collapsed.

After about ten minutes, Tan Zongming walked over with steady and powerful steps.

Seeing this, Andy immediately stood up and introduced the two people: "This is Lin Yuan, this is Lao Tan."

Lin Yuan and Tan Zongming stretched out their hands to each other and shook hands vigorously.

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

"Hello, Mr. Tan."

Tan Zongming looked at the handsome man in front of him with an upright figure.

When he learned that Andy and Lin Yuan were going to Daishan together, he sent someone to investigate Lin Yuan, but the result surprised him.

Lin Yuan's resume is unremarkable.

The family background is extremely simple.

But such a person can actually come up with so much money to start a coffee company.

There are only two possibilities. One is that Lin Yuan has an extremely powerful background and he cannot find out with his ability. The other is that Lin Yuan has an extremely outstanding ability to make money.

Whatever the case, it deserves his serious attention.

Tan Zongming took out a business card from the inside pocket of his suit and handed it to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan took it with both hands, with a humble smile on his face, and said, "I'm really sorry, I don't have a business card yet. Thank you very much for your help in the smooth development of the company this time."

Tan Zongming smiled cheerfully and said, "Don't be so polite. You are Andy's friend, so you are also my friend. I believe Andy, her vision is not wrong."

Lin Yuan and Andy smiled at each other. Seeing this scene, Tan Zongming felt inexplicably uncomfortable, as if he was watching a couple singing the same tune.

Lin Yuan suggested: "Don't forget the proper etiquette. Andy and I will host you for lunch."

Andy nodded in agreement.

"Okay." Tan Zongming agreed readily.

After the three of them sat down, Tan Zongming was the first to ask, "Boss Lin, why did you suddenly think of entering the coffee industry?"

“I didn’t really think about it that much. When I was meeting my online friend Andy that day, a girl complained that Starbucks coffee was too expensive, which gave me inspiration.

The current domestic market competition landscape has not yet solidified. Except for Starbucks, other brands have not formed an absolute competitive advantage. Now is the best time to seize market space.”

"Are you planning to seize the market with a low-price strategy?" Tan Zongming asked.

"Yes, but not completely. Low prices are fine, but we absolutely cannot lower the quality. I plan to launch as many activities as possible during the trial operation phase, such as free first order, buy one get one free... using low prices to attract consumers to try. In fact, in China, Starbucks' price of 30 yuan per cup makes many people stay away. Many people have never had coffee. These are our potential customers."

Tan Zongming nodded repeatedly, marveling at Lin Yuan's boldness and sharpness.

He knew very well that once the number of coffee shops grew on a large scale, the initial investment cost would be a staggering astronomical figure.

Rent, equipment purchases, personnel training, raw material supply... every expense is like running water, endless.

Tan Zongming then asked, "How big a coffee chain do you plan to open?"

Lin Yuan said without hesitation: "All over the country, and even overseas."

Of course, he was just thinking about the second half of the sentence for the time being, but in front of his woman, he naturally could not show his weakness, and he had to brag as much as he should.

Tan Zongming was slightly stunned. Lin Yuan's ambition and courage were beyond his imagination.

“Have you ever thought of accepting financing?”
