When I Saw The Returns, I Invested In My Future Wife First - Chapter 227

227 Pick Up Lines On The Plane, I’ll Drop You Off?

Luo Feng felt like there was a gaze behind him. He turned around and saw the surrounding people were doing their own things again.

Perhaps it was just an illusion…

Luo Feng placed his attention on the matters in Shanghai and said to Ai Tingya, “Ahem, I’m not saying that I don’t care about you. I’ll leave the main decision to you. Besides, you’re in charge of the milk tea now, and I’ll be in charge of the takeaway. Isn’t this how it’s always been?”

In the past, be it in Crown City or in the university, Luo Feng had given them general direction. Ai Tingya was in charge of the rest.

!!
They were going to Shanghai this time for the new milk tea market and to prepare for expansion.

Luo Feng’s idea was to let Ai Tingya participate in important decisions. Luo Feng realized that both Good Me Milk Tea and Gather Sift Takeaway relied too much on him because of Xie Yan’s matter.

That would definitely not do!

Luo Feng was different from Ai Tingya and Xie Yan. The latter two had their own ideals and revenge. They wanted to create their own careers, benefit the people around them, or prove themselves.

However, Luo Feng purely wanted to freeload.

When he was young, he had worked hard for a few years. When his career started, he could feel at ease and nominate people behind the scenes to take advantage of the past.

Therefore, his subordinates had to be able to deal with matters themselves. Even if Luo Feng was not by their side in the future, they could still let the company develop smoothly.

In the past, Luo Feng had taken on too much.

As expected, when Ai Tingya heard that she would be in charge of the expansion of the company alone in the future, she was still very flustered and uneasy.

“I don’t think I can do it well…” Ai Tingya said pitifully.

She was not someone who had an inferior complex. Perhaps she had in the past but since she got together with Luo Feng, the surrounding people had never stopped praising her. Be it her looks or ability, Ai Tingya was one of the best.

However, when she thought about how Luo Feng would not be by her side, her heart felt empty. She could not figure it out no matter what.

She had the fear of a cub leaving its parents and surviving alone to hunt for food.

When Luo Feng saw Ai Tingya’s uneasy expression, he became even more determined. Reality proved that he should indeed let them grow on their own.

Otherwise, with Ai Tingya’s mentality, she would probably lose her ability to make decisions if she left him in the future.

This would not do as the lady boss.

He explained gently, “It’s normal to feel pressured. Do you remember when we opened our first shop? You were always worried about losing money and couldn’t sleep or eat. Didn’t you survive it? After training for so long, I believe that my Tingya must be in a stronger mental state!”

Ai Tingya raised her head and blinked at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng continued, “Don’t be afraid. The worst outcome will be a failure in the expansion. It doesn’t matter. We have a foundation now and have the strength to spend an additional 100 million yuan to set off again.”

When he expanded the eight shops, he spent a little more than 100 million yuan. The main expenses were actually concentrated in the staff dormitory.

However, the current 100 million yuan was different from the previous 100 million yuan.

He did not have much capital in the past. Ai Tingya’s habit of saving money was the only stumbling block, causing Luo Feng to think of all kinds of ways to spend money to get a rebate.

He had spent a lot of effort to gather 100 million yuan.

After experiencing so much, it was completely different now. Luo Feng had 400 million yuan in his hands. He was afraid that Ai Tingya would not be able to spend it all!

Ai Tingya’s face fell. She knew that Luo Feng had made up his mind.

She lowered her head, and without her usual coquettish whining, her lips pressed into a thin line as she began to think about what to do next.

When Luo Feng saw this, he smiled and could not help but nod in satisfaction.

People would only be motivated when there was pressure. With Ai Tingya’s perseverance, she would become stronger the more she fought. No matter what difficulties she faced, she would eventually submit to her.

Seeing Ai Tingya turn from an ordinary high school girl into a domineering female CEO, he felt a sense of accomplishment just thinking about it.

Ai Tingya was seriously thinking about the path of the company’s expansion while Luo Feng leaned back in his chair leisurely.

Unintentionally, he caught a glimpse of a boy in the front row looking at him through the gap between the seats. He had a faint smile on his lips and narrowed his eyes, as if he was looking at him with admiration.

“What’s the matter?” Luo Feng asked curiously.

The boy gave him a thumbs up and whispered, “Brother, you’re still the best at pretending! You’re awesome!”

Luo Feng frowned slightly, not understanding what the other party meant.

The boy smiled slyly. “He’s sitting in economy class, and he’s blowing his trumpet about 100 million yuan. Haha.”

Luo Feng was silent. He felt that there was no need for him to prove himself.

However, in the boy’s eyes, he was even more certain that Luo Feng was lying.

It did not mean that there were no rich people in economy class. Some low-key rich people, or those who bought tickets in a hurry, might squeeze in with everyone else.

However, looking at Luo Feng and Ai Tingya’s ages, they were not even 20 years old.

Taking a step back, even if he had a rich father and mother, how could a rich second-generation heir who was still enjoying himself be so proactive? He came out to run a business after the new year.

Moreover, looking at their ordinary clothes, they did not look like they were over millionaires. The words they said naturally made the people around them feel unreliable.

Luo Feng only smiled and changed the topic to chat with the boy.

He realized that even though the boy was a little straightforward, he did not have any ill intentions. Ai Tingya was seriously planning the company’s future and did not have time to chat with Luo Feng to relieve her boredom. Luo Feng happened to find someone to chat with.

During the conversation, Luo Feng learned that this boy was studying in Shanghai. He was three years older than him and was currently studying as a graduate student. As the laboratory was relatively busy, he took a plane back to school after the New Year.

When the boy heard that this was Luo Feng and Ai Tingya’s first time in Shanghai, he even enthusiastically recommended tourist attractions and delicious specialties worth visiting.

He was especially talkative. He could continue no matter the topic brooched.

By the time the plane landed, Luo Feng already knew the boy’s name, his school and major, and the name of the girl he liked…

He was a passionate and familiar person. When they chatted, he could not hold back his words. When the passengers got off the plane, the boy naturally walked beside Luo Feng.

“Where are you guys going? If it’s on the way, let’s take a taxi together. I’ll pay the bulk. How about that?” the boy asked Luo Feng.

After all, they were of the same age. They could save some money by hitching a ride together.

Luo Feng held Ai Tingya’s hand with one hand and took out his phone with the other. He looked at it and shook his head at the boy. “Someone is here to pick us up.”

“I see…” The boy touched the back of his neck and felt a little regretful.

To be honest, he quite liked to chat with Luo Feng. Luo Feng was very polite even though he liked to brag. He would not casually interrupt him, nor would he blindly deny himself. He listened seriously and would even nod in response at critical moments.

He was a good listener.

For a chatterbox, it was rare to have someone who listened to him seriously and responded to every word!

“Alright then. Be careful.” The boy pulled his stomach and prepared to leave.

“Why don’t I ask if I can drop you off first?” Luo Feng suddenly offered.
