Chapter 206: Reiko treats her
After much deliberation, Reiko finally mustered up the courage and dialed Jiang Lao's mobile phone number.
"Hey, is it Reiko? It's been a long time since I've heard your sweet voice! All along, you've been doing well, right? β
After the phone was dialed, probably Boss Jiang saw that it was Reiko's phone from the caller ID, so after the phone was connected, he enthusiastically greeted Reiko first without waiting for Reiko to speak.
"Mr. Jiang, hello! It's been so long, and I haven't seen you come to my uncle's house. Recently, is the business booming? β
In order to reflect her identity and importance in the Wang family, Reiko deliberately referred to Vice Mayor Wang as "uncle".
"Ha, Reiko, you really got it right! Recently, the engineering side has been really busy, so during this time, I didn't bother to go to see Mayor Wang and Mrs. Wang, of course, I didn't bother to go up to see you, I'm really sorry to be tired! Please also ask Reiko, Mayor Wang, and Mrs. Wang to forgive me! Uh, Reiko, you called today, is there anything to find me? β
Jiang is always the kind of person with a particularly bright business head, he knows that people who don't usually contact each other, once a sudden call comes one day, generally speaking, the other party must have something.
"Ah, Mr. Jiang, you're really right. As for me, I have a little thing I want to ask you for, I wonder if I am free now? β
Reiko asked Boss Jiang in a sweet voice.
"Ahem, what's the matter, just say it, don't be polite to me."
Boss Jiang replied to Reiko very happily.
"However, although it is a small matter, I need to ask you for advice in person! I wonder if it can take up a little bit of your time? β
At this time, Reiko didn't want to mention borrowing money from Boss Jiang on the phone.
Moreover, at the moment when she just called, Reiko suddenly thought of an idea:
In order to talk to me about the partnership to open a store, Yanyan directly asked me to "Liu Sanjie Milk Tea Shop".
Now, since I want to partner with Yanyan to open a bubble tea shop, why can't I just invite Boss Jiang to the bubble tea shop like Yanyan?
After having this extra heart, Lingzi decided to imitate Yanyan's approach and simply asked Mr. Jiang to meet at "Liu Sanjie's milk tea shop"!
"Okay, as long as Miss Reiko speaks, I will never be free, and I must be free! Say, when and where to meet? β
Mr. Jiang still replied in the tone of a happy person.
"I think, tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon, not far from my uncle's house, there is a 'Liu Sanjie Milk Tea Shop', I don't know if you have been there?"
Reiko asked tentatively.
"Liu Sanjie's milk tea shop? Hmm, I seem to be a little impressed. After coming out of Mayor Wang's house, turn to the right, walk for about ten minutes, and walk for about ten minutes, near the bubble tea shop at the intersection of Zhongshan Road? β
Mr. Jiang searched in his memory for a while and asked Reiko tentatively.
"Ah, yes, yes! It's that bubble tea shop! The front of the shop is not large, but the decoration is very neat and bright. If you can enjoy your face, I'll have a treat tomorrow! β
"Wow, that's it! Tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Sanjie's milk tea shop, see you or leave! β
After finalizing the time and place, Mr. Jiang readily agreed to the date.
In the afternoon of the next day, after getting the hostess's leave, Lingzi arrived at the "Liu Sanjie Milk Tea Shop" on time at two o'clock.
When Reiko entered the bubble tea shop, as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw that Boss Jiang was already waiting for her in a box seat in the right corner of the store.
"Oh, Mr. Jiang, I really didn't expect you to arrive earlier than me! Sorry hah. β
Reiko saw that Mr. Jiang stood up from the box seat over there and waved to her, so she hurriedly walked over there.
"Miss Reiko, come, please be seated. Excuse me, what flavor of milk tea do you like to drink? β
After Mr. Jiang waited for Reiko to arrive at the box seat, he first invited her to take a seat, and then asked her needs.
"Mr. Jiang, what flavor do you like? I'm going to buy it! What I said yesterday, I'm in for a treat today! β
Reiko immediately asked Mr. Jiang in reverse.
"Ahemββ, you're kidding. Men and ladies come out to drink tea, how can there be a reason for women to pay? You're welcome, come on, what flavors do you like? β
Mr. Jiang waved his hand at Reiko without saying anything, and continued to insist on asking Reiko what she needed.
"I'm sorry ββ, excuse me. I'll just have a cup of coffee and milk tea. β
Lingzi saw that Mr. Jiang was resolute, and knew that she couldn't compete with him, so she was no longer polite.
"Please wait a minute."
Mr. Jiang nodded to Reiko with a smile, and then strode towards the bar.
After a while, I saw Boss Jiang coming over with a tray.
Inside the tray, there are two cups of coffee and milk tea, a plate of pocket cakes, a plate of American almonds, a plate of weird peanuts, and a plate of sliced watermelon.
"Come, Reiko, please feel free to taste it."
After Mr. Jiang entered the box seat, he enthusiastically brought a cup of milk tea to Lingzi, and then sat down opposite Lingzi and brought himself a cup from the tray.
After putting the milk tea away, Boss Jiang immediately pointed to the snacks, melons and fruits in the tray with his finger, and enthusiastically invited Lingzi to taste them.
"Mr. Jiang, you are so polite, I'm really embarrassed!"
Reiko looked at the sumptuous snacks and watermelons in the tray, remembering that when she and Yanyan came to drink tea yesterday, there were only some cheap pastries on the tray, and she felt a little ashamed, and her face was a little ruddy.
So, she sincerely nodded to Mr. Jiang slightly to express her gratitude.
"Look at what you said, being able to drink tea with a beautiful girl like Reiko is a special joy for me, and it's a kind of undesirable enjoyment!"
Looking at Lingzi's lovely gaze, Mr. Jiang's eyes were bright, and he boldly said what was in his heart.
Sure enough, as soon as Reiko heard this, her little face immediately turned red.
She bowed her head slightly, then raised her head and said:
"Mr. Jiang, inviting you out for tea today won't delay your business, right?"
"Haha, what's the wrong thing, didn't I tell you yesterday, Reiko rarely speaks, I'm just too busy, I have to squeeze time to meet Reiko! Okay, you're welcome! Come, Miss Reiko, you can taste American almonds first, and let's talk while we eat. Hmm, Miss Reiko, may I ask you what you need me to do? β
As he spoke, Mr. Jiang grabbed the American almond and put it in front of Reiko.
Then I grabbed a few and put them in the palm of my left hand, took one out of them, and put them very elegantly between the upper and lower incisors, and gently knocked them down.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"
Lingzi symbolically owes a debt, and after thanking Boss Jiang, she stretched out two peach fingers, gently picked up the milk tea in front of her, took a sip reservedly, and then picked up an almond that Boss Jiang put in front of her, and after snorting twice, she looked at Boss Jiang with that pair of good-looking eyes and said:
"Mr. Jiang, what do you think of this little shop?"
"This little shop? Well, that's good! The environment is elegant, clean and tidy, cheap and good, and the business is booming! Heyββ, Miss Reiko, you're not going to fall in love with this little shop, are you? β
After listening to Reiko's question, Mr. Jiang immediately thought of Reiko's unusual "treat", and seemed to have guessed Reiko's thoughts.
His eyes widened and he tentatively looked at Reiko and asked.
"Oh, Mr. Jiang is joking with me! I'm a country girl, how dare I fall in love with someone's bubble tea shop? I heard that this bubble tea shop was opened by two female college students, and it was their entrepreneurial project last year. Since its opening, business here has been booming, and even if anyone really likes this bubble tea shop, they can't transfer it! β
Reiko shook her head again and again, denying Mr. Jiang's speculation.
"Soβwhat do you think?"
After listening to Reiko's words, Mr. Jiang somewhat guessed some of Reiko's thoughts, but according to his habits in the business field, sometimes, even if he guessed a certain intention of the other party, it was best not to say it directly.
At this moment, Boss Jiang is in accordance with his previous habits, and after seeing Reiko's inner thoughts, he does not say it directly.
"Wellββ, I asked you to come out today, I wanted to ask you for advice, if you open a bubble tea shop like this, is there any chance of success?"
At this point, Reiko finally took out the thoughts in her heart.
"Oh, it's up to who's going to open it. If it had been opened by a smart and beautiful girl like you, I think it would have succeeded! Moreover, if you come to open a bubble tea shop like this, I estimate that it is likely to be even more prosperous than this bubble tea shop! β
While answering Lingzi's question, Mr. Jiang praised Lingzi by the way.
"Yesββ?"
Listening to Boss Jiang's words, Reiko's face turned even redder, and there was obvious excitement in her heart.
She glanced at Boss Jiang, and then glanced at the entire bubble tea shop hall, and while looking forward to a better future, she felt a little drumming in her heart.
Lingzi is worried that if she and Yanyan really partner to open such a bubble tea shop, will the business be prosperous?
"However, Mr. Jiang, I have never opened a bubble tea shop, not even an ordinary small shop. If I really want to open a bubble tea shop like this, to be honest, I really don't have confidence! β
In front of Boss Jiang, Reiko truthfully expressed her worries.
"Wellββ, how can you not have faith? Let me tell you, Miss Reiko, I'm a person who can read faces. I'll be honest, actually, I've seen your photos a long time ago, and I've long seen that you're not an ordinary country girl. You're now working as a babysitter, and it's just a temporary transition. When the transition period of babysitting is over, you will definitely soar! β
Mr. Jiang held Lingzi while using words to set Lingzi's true thoughts.
"Really? I really don't know, Mr. Jiang will still look at his face? Thank you Mr. Jiang for your praise and encouragement! β
Listening to Mr. Jiang's flattering words, Reiko's heart jumped excitedly, and her face suddenly burst into a circle of redness.
She glanced at Mr. Jiang happily and slightly shyly, and then said:
"Mr. Jiang, I won't tell you, yesterday, a good friend discussed with me and wanted to invite me to partner with her to invest in such a bubble tea shop. Because I don't know the bottom of my heart, I specially asked you to help me investigate it today, and at the same time, please also ask you to get an idea for me. β
"Huh? Have a friend invite you to invest? Is it a boyfriend or girlfriend? β
As soon as he heard that Reiko "has a good friend", Mr. Jiang's face immediately tensed, and the smile on his face also retracted.
