Chapter 460: Changing Plans Mid-Course

~8 min read 1,419 words

Before tonight, Luo Qiqi had indeed harbored such thoughts.

However, times change.

Compared to being a lawyer, she was clearly more interested in doing business.

As for the stage... with Shen Yan around, why worry about not having a place to show her skills?

"Being a lawyer is meaningless; I feel I am better suited for business," Luo Qiqi said bluntly.

Hearing this, Wu Yue'er gave a thumbs-up in agreement: "Great minds think alike. You have a real knack for business; it's very suitable for you to walk this path."

On the other side, Yu Youwei did not react at first, then turned pale with shock.

???

What did her good friend just say? Business? Hadn't she previously sworn to become a renowned lawyer in the legal world and open her own Law Firm?

How could she change her mind just like that?

Facing Yu Youwei's confusion, Luo Qiqi did not offer much explanation: "People change. Now I have found my life's compass."

At this moment, Yu Youwei felt a sense of loss.

She had thought she found a like-minded friend with whom she could advance hand-in-hand; she never expected the other party to change her mind halfway, catching her off guard.

Suddenly, she felt so lonely!

The next day was another beautiful day; the sky was as blue as a gemstone, and the temperature was pleasantly mild, not as scorching as the sweltering sun.

A gentle breeze brushed against her face, bringing a hint of coolness.

When Shen Yan came downstairs, the nanny had already bought breakfast pastries.

A group of people sat there, eating heartily.

After taking his seat, Shen Yan glanced at Luo Qiqi, who was sitting diagonally across from him. The moment their gazes met, every detail from last night surfaced in Luo Qiqi's mind, and she seemed like a flower about to bloom, becoming delicate and enchanting.

She hurriedly lowered her head.

She didn't know why, but while she could remain calm and composed when seeing Shen Yan before, now, just by meeting his eyes, she couldn't stop her heart from fluttering in confusion.

Seeing this, Shen Yan couldn't help but find it amusing.

She was, after all, not as bold as Huniu.

If it were Wu Yue'er, she might have relied on the advantage of her long legs to flirt with him from across the room, while dealing with the surrounding classmates as if nothing were happening.

Shen Yan looked at Hao Anqi again, receiving a charming, coquettish glare in return.

Last night, not only was Luo Qiqi restless, but he, a hot-blooded man, had only managed to turn away the beauty who had delivered herself to his door through sheer willpower.

He had immediately rushed into the bathroom to shower, but he could never extinguish the fire in his heart; instead, it burned brighter and brighter, showing signs of spiraling out of control.

Helpless, he had to send a message to Hao Anqi.

"Come upstairs, I want to hold you while I sleep."

Hao Anqi: "That's not very good; they will gossip."

Shen Yan: "Just find an excuse, come up and we'll just talk."

"(Grin) (Grin) Do you think I'm stupid? It really won't work today, just go to sleep honestly."

"My mind is full of you, I can't sleep (dazed)."

"I knew you were just coaxing me... I'll state this first: we are just talking, we won't do that thing."

"I'll keep my word."

Just like that, the overjoyed Hao Anqi was coaxed and tricked by Shen Yan to the third floor. As soon as she entered the room, she was met with that wolf-like gaze.

The aftermath cannot be described in detail.

In short, before Hao Anqi could finish a complete sentence, her ability to speak was sealed, and she was then thrown onto the Large Bed.

The battle was imminent.

After finishing quickly, Hao Anqi's face was as bright as a peach blossom; she weakly punched Shen Yan's chest and chided, "What stimulated you tonight? Why were you so impatient?"

"There was no stimulation; I just missed you so much I couldn't sleep."

Hao Anqi felt as if she had drunk honey water; her heart was sweet.

That tiny bit of dissatisfaction vanished without a trace.

Hurrying back, an hour later, Hao Anqi finally returned to her room. Several senior students hadn't slept yet and couldn't help but tease her in various ways.

"Yo! Didn't you say you were going next door to chat? Why do you look so love-struck?"

"Could it be that chatting was a lie, and visiting an old flame was the truth?"

"An Qi, it's not that I'm lecturing you, but Shen Yan's conditions are so outstanding in every aspect. You have such a golden turtle son-in-law; why don't you cherish him properly? What are you still thinking about?"

Under the earnest advice of the three "well-meaning" seniors, Hao Anqi felt like she wanted to die.

She wanted to die, but she didn't dare!

That was why, upon seeing this infuriating bastard again, Hao Anqi was filled with resentment.

Shen Yan didn't understand why, but he was too lazy to think much about it.

After breakfast, Luo Qiqi and Yu Youwei followed their plan to visit various attractions in Shanghai.

The others were packed and ready; after Chen Shanni arrived, they headed straight for the University City in Xuhui District.

Sharpening their knives for the pigs and sheep!

Xuhui District is located in the southwest of Shanghai's central urban area, bordering the Huangpu River to the east, looking across the river at the Pudong New Area, and is a little over half an hour away by car.

There are 11 universities located here, including the famous Jiaotong University.

It encompasses over a hundred thousand students.

The terrain is vastly different from the University City in the Hangzhou Higher Education Park.

Relatively speaking, the universities here are more scattered.

There is no such thing as a Gourmet Street here.

It is reported that fifty restaurants around Jiaotong University have been incorporated into the territory of Ele. me.

The platform's daily transaction volume has exceeded ten thousand.

In a place like Shanghai where every inch of land is worth gold, based on an average of 10 yuan per order, that is one thousand orders, split among fifty stores.

Each restaurant only gets twenty orders a day.

It is tasteless to eat, yet a pity to discard.

After all, the founders of Ele. me are all ordinary students, their capital is too limited, and their credibility is insufficient, so promotion is as slow as a snail's pace.

So much so that since its establishment in 2008, Ele. me has always been holed up inside Jiaotong University.

And Kuaida Delivery will inject unprecedented vitality into them.

With 11 universities and a market of over one hundred thousand people, as long as one is willing to invest capital, and with Fan Bingbing as a household-name brand ambassador.

Opening up the situation will be easy.

The first step is to invite merchants to join.

With the promotion experience from the Higher Education Park, Chen Xiaowei and the others went about their work with ease, their speeches concise and clear, each sentence hitting the point.

With Ele. me as a cautionary tale, many bosses have a clear understanding of delivery platforms.

Through comparison, they gained a very clear understanding of the two platforms.

The gap is too big!

They are simply not on the same level.

First of all, Ele. me has limited funds and takes a 10% commission from participating merchants to pay staff salaries; besides that, the founders have to chip in their own money from time to time, and only then can they ensure Ele. me continues to operate.

Kuaida Delivery, however, takes a 5% commission, and this advantage is very obvious.

Furthermore, the platform's functionality is not just a little bit worse.

Because the number of orders is too small, restaurants do not have receipt printers and usually use handwritten methods, which is particularly troublesome to operate.

Having witnessed with their own eyes the platform's automatic order-receiving function and the situation of receipt printers churning out orders in the promotional video, the bosses all had eyes gleaming with excitement.

If they did it this way, how much money would they make in a day!

Thinking about it, it is also normal, after all, Kuaida Delivery is not facing the tiny place of Jiaotong University, but the 11 surrounding universities.

With the number of users going up, are they still afraid of not receiving orders?
