Chapter 733: Chapter 733

This was a night that kept countless rival businesses awake.

Despite the tiger not yet attacking them, its roar alone had already scared many witless.

The "Six Schools" had a WeChat group with Chen Yue as the group owner, who also picked a self-proclaimed amusing name for it, "New Forces Milk Tea Association."

After she changed the group name, Yu Feng, who seemed to have been transformed by beauty into a sycophantic toady, immediately began sucking up in the group, calling Chen Yue — President!

Wu Han, who had been hurt during his college years by acting as a toady, inwardly scoffed but was happy to let Chen Yue take on that title.

It was just a title that didn’t bring any real benefits.

On the contrary, titles could bring responsibilities!

"And with a woman like her, a few compliments should make her float away," Wu Han thought.

Originally, this group was all smiles and laughter over the past few days, filled with a jovial atmosphere.

Everyone complimented each other, truly harmonious and joyful.

But once Cheng Zhu created his personal Weibo account and the first video he posted was such a killer move, the atmosphere in the group changed instantly!

Everyone was talking about it, one after another.

"We can’t do that kind of model at all, it’s not cost-effective!"

"We definitely can’t afford to do deliveries like that, the best we could do is change the packaging."

"It won’t work, doing this would immediately make us a level lower than Youu Tea."

"Exactly, once you go down in quality with high-end products, how are we supposed to continue?"

"What’s the point of saying all these, do you want to stubbornly imitate him?"

"The summer vacation is the most important time, he’s going to start doing crazy collaborations!"

This group of six... never mind, these six little new forces among milk tea brands, Yue Tea could follow the trend, Le Tea could barely hang on, but the rest, being so small, couldn’t play at all.

Imagine, if for the past few months Cheng Zhu had been crazily doing collaborations without raising prices, selling them for the price of regular items, how terrifying would that be?

Therefore, Chen Yue actually didn’t speak in the group; she just kept watching what everyone else was discussing, her brain racing.

She even had a horrifying thought.

"I’ll continue to learn from Cheng Zhu, I’ll also give benefits to the customers, and wipe out all these cats and dogs!"

"While encroaching on their market share, I expect to snatch a little piece of the pie too!"

The alliance of rival businesses was so fragile.

Chen Yue’s first reaction was betrayal!

Yet, she was well aware that even if she did so, Youu Tea would still reap the largest profit, and she would only get to sip on the soup.

Once these minor players fall, it would be a proper showdown between Youu Tea VS Yue Tea!

— Welcome to the battle path!

But with what should I fight him!

Now, each person in the group had their own connections, resources, money... all six founders here were capable.

If they united, their combined market share was still considerable.

Chen Yue’s thoughts grew more chaotic.

Why, why start with such a big move, opening with thunderous force right away.

Such audacity! It was clear that he wanted to single-handedly overturn the entire industry!

She was lying half on her bed, only feeling that this man was truly a devil!

Just as she hesitated, people in the group didn’t stop @ting Chen Yue.

After all, the plan to smear each other was initiated by her...

She glanced at the group chat, and someone even complained a few times.

Yu Feng immediately jumped out to defend her, constantly emphasizing, "Chen Yue is definitely on our side, she has been leading us all this time, let’s not start internal disputes, okay?"

"What leadership, I just made a suggestion, I just gave everyone an immature little proposal, it was you guys who wanted to follow through, I didn’t force you," she internally shrugged off responsibility.

In the end, she could only post in the group, "Let’s all calm down today, let’s each hold a meeting within our own companies, then we can summarize our thoughts and strategies in the group later, okay?"

After speaking, she didn’t care what others said, she just went silent in the group again.

She was so conflicted and bewildered now.

Chen Yue, who was used to sleeping nude, lay on her soft big bed and seriously watched the video posted by Cheng Zhu again.

At the end of the video, Cheng Zhu smiled at the camera.

His smile wasn’t greasy like Shen Minglang’s next to him, it was tough and somewhat charming.

But in Chen Yue’s eyes, it was a cruel, ferocious grin directed at the rival businesses!

He was already whipping all rival firms mercilessly.

— Saying I’ll train you, so I’ll train you!

She no longer lied half-reclined in bed, but spread her arms out, lying flat on the great bed, then stared blankly at the ceiling, her mind filled with endless confusion...

This was a night of insomnia for the group of rival businesses, and also a night of Young Master Shen swearing up a storm.

"Why, just because my cousin is handsome, I’m seen as the comedic relief?"

"What do you mean I look like the dumb roommate in a dorm?"

"Fuck, someone even said I’m the village idiot!"

"Are you netizens sick or what?"

"I’m not some stooge, not just a background prop, not someone Cheng Zhu hired to be funny, I’m seriously recording a video, fuck fuck fuck, I’m a shareholder of Youu Tea!"

Shen Minglang’s mentality collapsed.

The normally sunny, cheerful big boy was no longer cheerful tonight.

Inside the Shen family’s living room, Shen Qingning just watched as Shen Minglang kept cursing, feeling helpless.

"It was you who insisted on recording the video together," Shen Qingning said.

"I just didn’t perform well!" Shen Minglang snapped.

I told you guys, I didn’t perform well in this video, but you didn’t listen to me.

"You actually performed very well, you made the video go viral," Shen Qingning matter-of-factly said.

"But I became a clown, I lost my image, everyone is laughing at me!" He felt shattered.

Shen Qingning was quite puzzled, not knowing what kind of image he even had.

At that moment, Shen Guoqiang came home after finishing his social obligations.

As soon as he saw the siblings, just as Shen Minglang was about to speak, Shen Guoqiang’s eyelid twitched, and he raised his hand to halt him: "Don’t speak, I’ve already seen the video, I know what happened."

"Ah?" Shen Minglang hadn’t expected that today he couldn’t even play a secondary role!

Being ridiculed by netizens was one thing, but he couldn’t even pretend in front of his father!

Ahhh! I’m breaking down! Someone control me!

The middle-aged proud man was actually very surprised that Cheng Zhu chose this timing to make such a killer move.

But he casually said, "You finally thought of expanding externally while fighting a price war internally."

Shen Minglang immediately retorted, "It’s not ’finally thought of,’ Dad, actually, during our first collaboration, we intentionally jacked up the prices!"

He began repeating Cheng Zhu’s words.

Ha ha, caught you talking too much, now I have a chance!

Whew! That feels good~

Shen Qingning just watched from the side, observing the changes in her father’s expression.

Sure enough, a flicker of surprise crossed Shen Guoqiang’s eyes.

"Were you guys setting up from that time?" He was astonished internally.

"Even the online smear campaign, was he orchestrating that too, even resorting to self-deprecating tactics, just for today’s big reveal?"

This made him look at the young man anew, thinking to himself these four words—bold yet meticulous!

His decisions were filled with daring!

Yet in implementation, they were detailed and thoroughly executed.

This caused the middle-aged proud man to say to his daughter for the first time, "Qingning, when you’re with him, remember to learn a bit from him."

"He really has a talent for business, he’s naturally suited for this."

Listening to her father’s high praise for Cheng Zhu, Shen Qingning felt strangely pleased.

After these words, Shen Guoqiang was too lazy to deal with Shen Minglang and went straight upstairs.

He had just climbed a set of stairs when he stopped and suddenly said something similar to what Lin Lu’s mother would have said.

"By the way, if you get a chance, invite Cheng Zhu over for dinner."

Shen Qingning felt an inexplicable resistance to the idea.

But Shen Minglang readily agreed, "Okay!"

Thinking of his cousin’s commanding presence, he was actually looking forward to having him come over for dinner.

After chatting casually in the living room for a while longer, the siblings each returned to their rooms.

Leggy, she directly took her nightgown into the bathroom, began brushing her teeth, washing her face, and took a bath.

The warm water fell on her smooth skin, making her feel cozy.

She had been attending meetings frequently recently, and she felt somewhat tired.

While smearing body wash over her long legs, she thought to herself, "I should find time for a SPA day soon."

After stepping out of the shower, her jade feet touching the floor mat, she used a towel to dry the water droplets on her body.

The reflection in the mirror was especially enchanting, her figure tall yet slender.

After putting on her nightgown, she began applying skincare products.

Having just taken a hot shower, the cool sensation on her face was somewhat reduced.

Then, just as she lay down in bed, she received a WeChat message from her brother.

"I’ve been exposed!" Shen Minglang typed.

"Haha, they know I’m your brother now, and that I’m a shareholder of Youu Tea! My Weibo account is suddenly gaining followers like crazy!" He was thrilled again.

Shen Qingning couldn’t be bothered to reply.

But soon, Shen Minglang sent another WeChat message.

"Some netizens are even messaging me privately, asking if the video was taken by you with your phone, they really want to know the details, do they want to work at our company or something?"

Shen Qingning immediately asked, "What did you say?"

"I said it was you who filmed it, yep."

She could already foresee the consequences.

Sure enough, as soon as she opened Weibo, her CP fans with Cheng Zhu started celebrating.

They were organized now, calling themselves "Qing Mei Zhu Ma."

"I knew it was Shen Qingning who filmed it!"

"Sisters, who understands, I can even imagine the typically aloof her smiling as she films her boyfriend and her brother!"

"Teehee, one big happy family."

"I’ll buy a cup of Youu Tea tomorrow, as a little gift."

"I had a feeling, whoever was behind the camera didn’t care about the other shareholder’s fate at all, filming his face so large, lighting off, but Cheng Zhu looks super handsome with excellent lighting!"

"I don’t care, Qing Mei Zhu Ma is real!!"

Looking at their posts, Shen Qingning truly felt as if a Heart Demon was invading, corrupting her Dao heart.

She was very clear that she and Cheng Zhu were not as everyone described.

But with a crowd shouting, "You guys are so sweet," "Ah, I’m dead," "I’m so shipped," she felt a strange sensation.

It was like in student days when a boy and girl were really nothing, but their classmates loved to tease them.

Teasing and teasing until something actually happened!

Shen Qingning started to lie on her side on the bed, her long beautiful legs slightly curled under the silk nightdress, stretching the hem.

Not just her stunningly proportioned legs were beautiful, her feet were exceptionally pretty too.

Shen Qingning ended up browsing Weibo for a full half-hour, becoming increasingly immersed, completely unaware of how quickly time was flying by.

Finally, the proud girl’s eyelids drooped slightly, and she let out a reluctant murmur, "What’s there to ship."
