High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 136 - 117: Knowledge Entered His Brain in a Despicable Way (Double-Length - )
Liu Yuheng said, "But I asked someone else, and they haven’t seen those posts from Jiang Banxia. It’s clear that they’re set to only show to us. Can it still work under these circumstances?"
He’s truly never met a girl as beautiful as Jiang Banxia, and her personality is so quiet and pure.
Even though many girls have chased him, and he’s never lacked a girlfriend from childhood to adulthood, Jiang Banxia remains the only one he wishes he could be a ’simp’ for.
Xiao Niansheng said, "This just shows that she’s actually aware you might want to pursue her. It’s really no big deal. It’s better that she knows. Whenever she agrees to meet you once, it basically means you’ve succeeded. Regarding Li Yang, I’ve inquired about him; he’s a top scorer in the college entrance exam, might have a bit of money, but he can’t compare to you at all.
Moreover, when pursuing a girl, you don’t always have to rush in. Sometimes taking a step back might have a better effect. If Jiang Banxia doesn’t come out to play during the National Day holiday, I’ll have Fan Shujing on one side revealing your identity, while also exaggerating that you’re dating another girl recently. This kind of comparison will surely create a sense of gap in Jiang Banxia’s heart.
What woman doesn’t like being flattered? Some are just tsundere; the more you flatter them, the more they put on airs. When she realizes such a great guy like you is shifting his attention elsewhere, she’ll undoubtedly become anxious. If it really doesn’t work out, recently I met a girl from the Chinese department at a party named Song Xiaoli. She’s sexy and beautiful, not much inferior to Jiang Banxia. I could introduce her to you?"
Xiao Niansheng must flatter Liu Yuheng, even if Song Xiaoli is a woman he would drool over.
After all, his family is small and relies on the Fuguang Group of Liu Yuheng’s family to survive.
Liu Yuheng said, "No way, I can’t accept not winning over Jiang Banxia!"
"Then according to the original plan, I’ll talk to Fan Shujing."
Xiao Niansheng felt that Fan Shujing had been a bit slack recently, as she hadn’t privately chatted with Jiang Banxia.
Girls chatting with girls is the only way to lower Jiang Banxia’s guard to its minimum.
Any guy, as long as he has a competent female assist, can basically win over most girls without much problem.
Unless the flaws are so glaring that they can’t be smoothed over, with no other qualities to showcase.
He privately messaged Fan Shujing, "Jing Jing, why haven’t you talked to Jiang Banxia recently? Next, you should start talking to Jiang Banxia about Yuheng’s family situation, about the Fuguang Group, about their group’s influence in Jiangbei..."
Fan Shujing replied, "So soon to lay the cards on the table?"
"There’s no other way, Jiang Banxia and Li Yang are very close, and there are no signs of them splitting apart."
Fan Shujing: "Have you investigated that Li Yang? Could he be a second-generation rich kid?"
"Definitely not. Although Li Yang is a top scorer in the college entrance exam, he’s from an ordinary family. By a stretch, their family’s assets wouldn’t exceed two million."
"So he doesn’t have the qualities of a second-generation rich kid?"
"Definitely not. But why are you asking these questions?"
"Oh, nothing, nothing. I’ll chat with Jiang Banxia in a couple of days; she’s been busy with military training and hasn’t had much time."
...
"Li Yang, now that military training is over, aren’t you supposed to come to my store?"
"Alright, alright, I’ll come tonight, okay?"
Li Yang could only agree to Song Yu, saying he’d visit her store.
But he had two classes in the afternoon and no evening class.
Occasionally there would be evening classes, such as the military theory class scheduled for Tuesday nights.
This seemingly unrelated course is worth a whopping 4 credits.
The advanced mathematics course at Jing University is only 5 credits.
After school, Li Yang sneaked off, and He Lewei couldn’t find him for half the day and had to return to the dormitory to start installing a system and downloading games.
He also helped set up Li Yang’s computer.
At this moment, Li Yang arrived at Haidian Park. After communicating with Song Yu, he quickly saw a classical building, with a sign at the entrance: Xuanding Hot Pot.
He sent a message to Song Yu, saying he was already at the entrance.
Soon, he saw a woman walking out from inside.
About twenty-something, wearing a white cheongsam, with beautiful curves.
A man’s first glance surely isn’t at the face.
So, Li Yang lingered elsewhere for a bit before seeing the face.
Upon seeing it, he was momentarily stunned.
"Song Xiaoli??"
She’s really beautiful, her features as if they stepped out of a painting, no wonder Liu Yuheng wanted to throw a grand wedding for her. If it were him... oh, he wouldn’t dare...
Song Yu was surprised, "You know my sister?"
Li Yang: "...I’ve heard of her, the talented girl of Jing University..."
Such a resemblance between the sister and the elder?
Song Yu didn’t seem very interested in this topic and said, "Let’s not talk about her. Didn’t expect you, this young guy, to be a bit more handsome than in the photos. Come on, I’ll treat you to dinner."
"Alright, I knew a rich woman was treating me, so I came with an empty stomach, haven’t even had lunch yet."
"Look at you."
Song Yu, after seeing Li Yang, found this guy even more amusing than in the group.
When Li Yang saw her speak with a slightly coquettish tone and matched with her figure, tsk tsk...
Upon entering the store, Li Yang found the decor quite sophisticated, with a strong sense of ambiance.
But there’s one issue: the location is a big problem.
The foot traffic is indeed high, but running a restaurant must be done in clusters.
In fact, not just dining, many industries must cluster together.
Otherwise, why are there food streets, furniture cities...
After all, dining is an uncertain factor, and people aren’t likely to venture to such a location just for a meal.
If someone isn’t satisfied, and there are no other options nearby, there’s no room for choice.
Unless you create a high-end private kitchen-style model, focusing on service.
But operating that requires extremely strong networking resources; otherwise, you’ll have to use top-tier dishes to slowly build clientele.
These two things are almost impossible for ordinary people.
"Sister Song, what made you want to open a hot pot restaurant here?"
Song Yu said, "There aren’t any nearby, so the competition pressure is low. You see, a lot of people get tired after strolling in the park and want to eat something, right? There are always people who don’t want to eat at a big stall. Even if just one percent of the park’s daily visitors come here, wouldn’t I be rolling in money?"
"Oh, that’s true..." Li Yang’s response was highly perfunctory, anyone could tell.
"What’s true or not true? Anyway, my strategy has already failed. If you have any good ideas, let me know, and I’ll switch lines immediately."
Song Yu has quite a bit of trust in Li Yang because he is quite conservative in handling matters, as one can see from the way he operates in the groups.
Of course, this guy is also a bit greedy.
"Let’s take a look after we eat?"
Li Yang had also thought about opening a shop as a hobby when he had the funds.
Of course, he certainly wouldn’t go into the traditional industries but would enter small niche markets instead.
Small niches have replicable models, the big giant startups and such, he could not do.
Even if he knows the byte mode will become a top giant, he couldn’t achieve it.
A little venture is perfect for wasting away his remaining days.
"I almost thought about turning this place into a nightclub. Currently, we’ve only decorated the second floor, the third, fourth, and fifth floors haven’t been touched."
"That’s why they call you a rich woman, wasting such rent is just a trivial matter."
"Hehe..."
Song Yu, after opening this hot pot restaurant, realized that doing business is not that simple, even more complex than imagined.
Initially, she didn’t even do market research and invested money based merely on ’I think it’s possible.’
While eating hot pot, Li Yang glanced at Song Yu and asked, "Sister Song, why aren’t you eating?"
"With you here, what more is there to eat? Even the best dishes can’t beat how good you taste."
After saying this, Song Yu picked up her phone and snapped a photo.
Then she directly posted it to their group chat, and @Li Yang.
"Li Likun, your son’s first time is with me."
After posting, she smiled gleefully at Li Yang, feeling amused by her little mischief.
Li Yang was still eating, when his phone started ringing endlessly.
It certainly wasn’t group messages since he had set them to ’Do Not Disturb.’
He swallowed the mouthful of tripe he just dipped and looked at his phone, seeing a long message from Xiangnu.
"Isn’t your son dating Jiang Banxia? How did he end up having a meal with Song Yu?"
"Get him away quickly, don’t get entangled with Song Yu; it’s for his own good. If he gets involved with Song Yu, he’s going to have a tough time in the future."
"Have you heard me, Li Likun?"
"I’m telling you, Song Yu has been married before."
