Chapter 640 -461 “Birthday

In the shower, Cheng Zhu and Chen Jieyu showered together.

The counselor kept her back to him as she lathered up with shower gel, too embarrassed to make eye contact.

Her overall thinking was conservative, but men are really despicable; the more conservative you are, the more they liked to do over-the-top things.

Like offering a helping hand while the counselor was making bubbles with the shower gel.

The tender skin coupled with the foam created a unique sensation.

It wasn’t exactly slippery, but it was a novel experience.

Chen Jieyu instinctively wanted to dodge: “What are you doing?”

But then she remembered it was his birthday and let him have his way.

Still, Cheng Zhu’s words irritated her a bit.

“Helping you out, is that so bad?” the dog of a man said with a laugh.

After they stepped out of the bathroom, just as they lay down on the bed, he received a call from Shen Minglang.

“Hello cousin, big trouble!”

Cheng Zhu held the counselor with one arm, his large hand on the small of her smooth back, the other hand holding the phone, unclear about what the trouble was.

“Cousin, let me wish you a happy birthday first, then don’t let it affect your birthday mood.”

Cheng Zhu said calmly with a laugh, “You don’t need to beat around the bush that much, what happened?”

“I just got some news, Yue Tea is starting their second round of financing already, and they’ve raised 230 million in one go! I expect there will be news coming out in the next few days!” Shen Minglang sounded anxious.

“Oh? Do you want to ask your dad for more money then, cousin?” Cheng Zhu said, his eyes smiling.

Uncle Shen, time to burst the Gold Coin!

Of course, he was definitely joking right now.

“How can that be? Our family can’t pull together that much cash,” Shen Minglang laid bare his family’s financial standings.

The Shen family’s business had always been tight on cash flow.

That was one of the reasons why Shen Guoqiang was starting to value Youu Tea more and more.

“Cousin, aren’t you worried at all? Are you just pretending to be cool in front of me?” Shen Minglang said bluntly.

“Get lost! I really won’t let this affect my birthday mood today,” Cheng Zhu said, half laughing, half crying.

“Why not?”

“No reason, because this might not necessarily be a bad thing for us.”

“Really?” Shen Minglang couldn’t understand.

Having money could be a good thing for our competitors?

“Trust me, it will be,” Cheng Zhu stated.

After the call ended, Cheng Zhu fell into deep thought.

Shen Minglang getting such news didn’t surprise him.

Probably through some connections.

Whether it was a rumor or not still needed verification.

But even if it was true, Cheng Zhu didn’t care.

“Yue Tea’s first round of financing was not long ago, and now they’re already starting a second round?”

“Though it’s not unheard of, it’s rare in the food industry.”

He was very aware that Chen Yue’s Yue Tea was definitely more strapped for cash than Youu Tea.

Because the rate at which Youu Tea made money was horrific.

Everyone was burning cash, but you were making less than I was.

And to maintain the current facade of prosperity, Yue Tea’s spending on marketing and other aspects was far more than Youu Tea’s.

Without crazy spending, they wouldn’t even qualify to touch Youu Tea’s online popularity!

“Recently, I’ve seen them trying to collaborate with some celebrities, like when celebrities appear at the airport holding a cup of Yue Tea.”

“Such everyday photos actually have a good effect.”

“It feels inspired by Zhou Jielun’s concert, trying to use celebrities to drive sales.”

Moreover, Yue Tea started with only a hundred million, while Cheng Zhu had 160 million.

Yue Tea running out of money soon was expected.

Chen Yue was also rapidly opening stores, almost catching up.

Everyone was now like fighting over territories in the first- and second-tier cities, rushing to stake their claims.

“What’s more noteworthy is that the investment in Yue Tea this time is still just from Shendu Capital,” Cheng Zhu eyes narrowed slightly.

If it were up to him, he would not make this choice.

He would bring in several capitals, choosing what benefited him best.

Yue Tea’s choice was likely due to a lack of options.

“She’s really tightly bound with Shendu Capital now.”

“And I have a feeling that Shendu Capital took the initiative to increase their investment in Yue Tea,” Cheng Zhu mused, his expression growing serious.

Yue Tea, not a concern.

Chen Yue did have some business acumen, as evidenced by her series of moves, not like Shen Minglang.

But Cheng Zhu, as a Reborn, naturally did not feel inferior.

In his past life, he made a name for himself starting from scratch.

After being reborn, rising to success was inevitable!

But if the competitor was one of the top ten venture capitals, Shendu Capital, that certainly was a formidable entity!

“Let’s see their next moves, they’re probably starting to play with capital.”

While lying in Cheng Zhu’s arms, Chen Jieyu saw him deep in thought, so she kept silent, just stealthily observing him.

She even thought to herself: “He must be under a lot of work-related stress, reaching such heights at a young age, his heart must be bearing a lot as well.” freёnovelkiss.com

But there didn’t seem to be much she could help with.

Thinking this, she felt somewhat ashamed, remembering how she had wanted to rope him in as the class committee member for Computer Science Class 2, telling him about the great benefits of being a committee member, hoping to gather him to her side…

Chen Jieyu, hearing numbers like several hundred million on the phone, still felt quite intimidated.
