Tea Shop Opening with All the Girls

Yu Ningmeng came up with Yan Wei, and when she saw a group of girls sitting next to Xia Yu, Yan Wei did not come forward but sat in the seat next to them.

"Weiwei sister!" Yuxue, pulling Yin Ling, sat next to her.

After Yuxue and Yin Ling left, a seat was vacated next to Xia Yu, and Yu Ningmeng sat there.

After taking a sip of milk tea, Yu Ningmeng frowned slightly; the taste was mediocre.

Putting down the milk tea, she looked around and her eyes lingered on Liu Manman for a while.

She knew Liu Manman - she had attended the Mid-Autumn Festival with Xia Yu and was one of Xia Yu's seniors, and one of the heirs of the Liu family. But she seemed to have no competitiveness, and was expected to be marginalized when she came of age.

Skipping over Liu Manman, Yu Ningmeng took another look at Yan Wei.

She didn't know Yan Wei and thought she was with Yuxue, but her eyes lingered on Yan Wei for a long time.

This was because of the magnificent view of Yan Wei's chest.

Yan Wei purposely wore loose clothes, trying to be low-key, but as she leaned forward on the table, the depth of the table edge sinking into her clothes created an even stronger visual impact.

Looking down at her own, Yu Ningmeng was somewhat sad.

She tried to find consolation in others and looked around her but only managed to find one person whose chest was less impressive than her own.

That person was Yin Ling.

Even though she had found someone who was worse off than herself, Yu Ningmeng's mood became even heavier.

Had she fallen so low that she had to compare herself with a primary school student?

Taking the milk tea beside her, Yu Ningmeng drank it forcibly, wishing at this moment that it was alcohol instead of milk tea.

Once she finished the milk tea, her mood improved slightly. Putting down the tea, she noticed the logo on it.

That logo looked familiar.

She looked at the words printed on the paper cup.

"Not Necessarily."

Wasn't this the milk tea brand under the company that had just been sold?

She had seen the post on the Hua University forum after hearing the maids talk about it. At the same time, she saw that this milk tea shop was a partnership between Xia Yu and someone named Duan Yi.

In other words, Xia Yu partly owned this shop.

Joining a milk tea brand that was about to go bankrupt under his own company, what was he trying to do?

Yu Ningmeng thought for two seconds and came up with an idea.

She went downstairs, ordered another milk tea, and asked while ordering, "Which of you is Duan Yi?"

Upon hearing her name, Duan Yi responded.

Yu Ningmeng looked Duan Yi up and down. She had a good figure, a pretty face, and a decent temperament, but she didn't seem to have any special skills - just an ordinary beautiful girl, a typical female goddess for an introvert.

Taking the milk tea upstairs, Yu Ningmeng said to Xia Yu, "Are you trying to make that woman go bankrupt and then keep her in captivity?"

"Cough, cough, cough." Xia Yu choked on his milk tea.

Xia Yu hurriedly looked around; Yan Wei's table was a bit of a distance away, so she did not hear the conversation. However, An Siyao and Liu Manman sitting nearby both heard it.

Especially Liu Manman, whose eyes were full of astonishment when she looked at Xia Yu.

"Don't talk nonsense," Xia Yu whispered to Yu Ningmeng.

"How am I talking nonsense?" Yu Ningmeng's voice remained at a normal volume.

Xia Yu pressed his palm, asking her to lower her voice.

Xia Yu explained, "It was her own idea to join this milk tea shop, and it was before I got that company. I didn't know that the company was about to go bankrupt."

"Oh." Yu Ningmeng nodded, understanding the situation, "So you were waiting for Duan Yi to hit the tree and pass out, then you take advantage of her."

"Don't talk nonsense," Xia Yu felt a headache coming on, "I just think that if I remind her, she won't experience the true process of starting a business. Failure is also a necessary experience!"

"So, are you going to let her experience it at your place?" Yu Ningmeng squinted her eyes.

"Why are you so superficial?" Xia Yu replied.

"So you want to play with more depth?" Yu Ningmeng scoffed.

She knew that if Xia Yu didn't have any ulterior motives, he wouldn't let his partner take the path that was doomed to fail.

Looking at the thoughtful An Siyao and the panicked Liu Manman, Xia Yu felt that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation, his image would be ruined.

He had no choice but to tell the truth: "Actually, I want to work with Duan Yi to start a company. I come up with ideas, and she takes care of the public relations aspect."

Yu Ningmeng put both hands on the table, listening to what Xia Yu was planning.

"I plan to gather a group of students from Hua University to develop a mobile game with me, but I don't want to run around, so I want Duan Yi to help me out. Her abilities and charisma are quite good," Xia Yu explained the necessary details.

Yu Ningmeng nodded, she also just noticed Duan Yi's image and demeanor were quite good.

"But she doesn't want to work for me; she wants to start her own business. You know what happened next," Xia Yu finished explaining.

Yu Ningmeng and Liu Manman suddenly realized, while An Siyao frowned with confusion. She didn't understand the point. An Siyao, who had never worried about money and had never experienced intrigue, couldn't comprehend such roundabout tactics.

The panic on Liu Manman's face disappeared. She initially thought that Xia Yu was a villain who deliberately bankrupted others and then forced them to use their wives and daughters to pay off the debt. But now it seemed that his heart was not too dark.

Yu Ningmeng shook her head, "A milk tea shop won't necessarily empty her out. You should let her invest more."

Xia Yu thought he would be criticized, but he didn't expect Yu Ningmeng to think he wasn't ruthless enough.

"The bankruptcy notice of that company is probably within these two days. You'd better pray that the woman doesn't find out that you're the one behind the scenes," Yu Ningmeng revealed a smile, fully agreeing with Xia Yu's way of watching others fall, helping them get back up, and then conveniently taking advantage of their resources.

"I've never appeared at the company; how could I be recognized?" Xia Yu was unconcerned, feeling that there were no flaws in his plan.

Now he just needed to wait for Duan Yi to go bankrupt and follow him.

As the day approached evening, Xia Yu remembered the previous promise and went backstage to work as a waiter.

An Siyao followed him, also changing into the work clothes.

Liu Manman found it interesting, so she changed into uniform as well.

Yan Xue felt it was an excellent opportunity to bond, so she joined in, and Yan Wei took the chance to blend in.

Fortunately, the weather is cooler now, and the store's uniforms are jackets that can be left open in the front. If it were a T-shirt, Yan Wei would definitely not be able to wear it.

At this time, the photos taken by the girls and posted on the forum had been fermenting for half an afternoon, generating a huge sensation.

The post with the most heat on the forum right now was about this matter:

Shocking! Music Academy's skipping-class goddess An Siyao, Guzheng idol Liu Manman, Baiyue Academy's vice principal's granddaughter Yan Wei, Hua University Attached High School's beauty Xia Yuxue, Hua University Attached Primary School's beauty Yin Ling, and an unknown beautiful aunty were all gathered with a man in this milk tea shop!

Is this a decline in morals or a degradation of human nature? Welcome to today's Hua University gossip...
