Chapter 195: Mr. President, I Want To Drink Milk Tea!
After Qu Xuan left, Su Yang kept the [Negative Condition Book] away into the table drawer.
‘Spreading sickness with a single flip...This thing is scary.’
‘Besides, I have so many friends around me. What if they get the book and open it? I won’t be able to stop them in time. I don’t care about Qu Xuan, but if Chu Xia gets the book...She might really fall ill with that slim body of hers.’
Su Yang was not overly worried about Qu Xuan though because he realized he could not do anything either.
Sanque was working in the milk tea shop and he himself had run out of ginseng roots.
Fortunately, the sickness from the book were all mild conditions, and Qu Xuan, as an athlete, should be able to get through it.
Despite thinking so, Su Yang still texted Qu Xuan on the way back from the campus.
[I heard you were sick.]
Qu Xuan replied right away: [Did you hear it from my sis? I’m fine. I’m just having diarrhea. Maybe it’s something that I ate, but it’s totally okay because I don’t have to attend training. I had some pills already, I’m feeling better.]
Su Yang heaved a sigh of relief.
‘But...why did he assume Qu Xiaomeng told me about his condition? I’m not that close with her either.’
On the way back, Su Yang took a detour to the milk tea shop. He realized that the business was great, explosive, in fact. The line was longer than last weekend and people were still coming. On top of that, most of them were queuing with their friends, either in pairs or groups, chatting with each other happily.
Some of them even took pictures and video, probably to check in on the spot. After all, TikTok-worthy shops were a trend nowadays.
Pool attentively served every customer that walked in and he smiled so brightly that his eyes curved up into two thin lines.
Since the milk teas served in “Try Everything” were ready-made, Pool just had to bring the cups to the customer, and serving was quick. The line outside might be long, but the customers barely waited.
Quick serving time was one of the reasons the milk tea shop was so well-received.
Su Yang did not disturb Pool, and he jogged all the way home.
Back home, after he jumped into the virtual space, he saw Deeny kneeling on the couch, typing on the holographic panel with an excited expression.
Curious, Su Yang asked, “What are you doing?”
Deeny shot a glance at Su Yang and returned to her typing. “Master, I’m posting something on ‘Find Me’ and the part-time app.”
Su Yang was more confused than ever. “What post?”
Deeny happily explained, “I’m posting the advertisement. The ‘Monster Family’ trailer with Pool was well-received. That’s why he has a long line outside his shop today, but some were scared away by the long line, so I posted a tagline as an advertisement: You either queue up with me to ‘Try Everything’, or you aren’t my true friend!”
“How is it, Master? It’s great, isn’t it? I’ve posted it on the campus forum and the part-time app’s front page and pinned it at the top. Pool’s shop is even more popular than ever.”
‘Hoho, so you are the one behind all this. My goodness. But why does all this feel so familiar?’
At the thought of it, the notification ringtone chimed throughout the villa. It was from WeChat and Su Yang received two messages at once. He summoned a panel and realized that the messages were from Li Xianhe and Xu Kuncai, the strange duo.
He tapped on Xu Kuncai’s message.
[My idol! There’s a popular milk tea shop outside the campus east gate, do you want to get in line with me? We can sing along the road after getting a cup!]
Su Yang replied: [No, thank you.]
He then tapped on Li Xianhe’s message. [Hi, Su Yang, my friend. I heard there is a popular milk tea shop around your campus. Do you want to grab some together?]
Su Yang was speechless after reading both the messages.
‘You two are really fated to be together.’
Su Yang held back his urge to prank them by calling them out and lining them all up together.
However, he simply replied: [Sorry. I’m busy.]
He had ‘befriended’ the two of them because he did not have a choice before this, but now, he decided to take the wiser choice, or at least, to him.
Su Yang realized that a lot of people were asking him out for milk tea, so after a quick thought, he posted a status on his Friend Circle.
[Stop asking me out for milk tea. I’m not interested.]
A moment later, he received a comment from Chu Xia on his post. [Mr. President, I want to have milk tea with you!]
‘Geez, this girl is really vexing at times!’
Su Yang replied with a smiley emoji, the same one that looked helpless and plain.
[Dream on.]
After posting the comment, Su Yang somehow branded his little matter into his mind for whatever reason. Then, he gave Li Zijun a call and talked to her about the promotion for “Find Me”.
Li Zijun said she rode on the hype created by Han Yi’s post a few days ago and flew to Beijing to find more contacts. She was trying her best to contact celebrities on different levels. Since she had some existing connections to the entertainment industry, she already managed to get in touch with a dozen of them.
She was also planning a 100-day event for the app. “Find Me” would welcome a new celebrity every day, and the celebrity would have to record a celebratory video for the app.
Both the celebrity and “Find Me” would then work together on a mutual promotion plan. If the event was successful, “Find Me” would see at least three months of stable popularity and the downloads might reach 5 million.
After all, once the exposure reached a certain level, the download rate would certainly surge. That would be the function of the advertisement.
Su Yang agreed and put her in charge of the whole project. After all, she managed to siphon attention from Han Yi’s posting from two days ago to “Find Me”, and she had blessed the app with a huge amount of traffic.
He believed Li Zijun. With her capabilities, she would get it done.
After talking to Li Zijun, he decided to write the script for the third and last trailer of the ‘Monster Family’ Series.
This time, the subject would be Little Hus and Little Lady Knife, and the story would be about them in the house. Unlike the previous trailers, Su Yang would be the person in the video, or more specifically, Iron Man.
The decision to star in the third trailer was to prevent Deeny from delaying the video.
Strike the iron while it was hot! After the third trailer, Su Yang decided to officially start with the first episode. He believed that with the three trailers garnering attention, ‘Monster Family’ would surely receive an explosive reception.
On the second day after a quiet night, Su Yang headed to class after breakfast.
On the way to campus, he suddenly remembered that Chu Xia wanted to try the milk tea, and for whatever reason, he put some serious consideration into the thought.
‘Should I buy her a cup? She did ask for it after all...’
Before his mind could come up with a decision, his body automatically took a detour to “Try Everything”.
It was still early at “Try Everything”, so the line was shorter than usual. Su Yang went to the back of the line and waited for his turn.
Pool was shocked when he saw Su Yang queuing up to buy the milk tea. “Lord Su Yang?!”
Somehow, Su Yang felt embarrassed. He said, “I want two cups.”
“What flavor do you want?” asked Pool.
“Anything is fine...Uh...Something a girl would like,” Su Yang said after a slight pause.
Pool’s smile was as bright as ever. 10 seconds later, two cups of ready-to-go milk tea were delivered to Su Yang.
Su Yang took Deeny out and scanned the QR code to pay, but Pool said, “You don’t need to pay.”
Su Yang waved his hand and said, “It’s fine. I’m buying it for someone else.”
He paid via Alipay and brought the milk tea to campus.
