Chapter 183 The Result of Love
"'Love of the Rose'?"
Hearing this name, Chen Mo couldn't help but look at Huang Yimei.
Huang Yimei smiled and asked, "How about it? Does it sound a bit tacky?"
Chen Mo asked back: "If I say yes, will you change?"
Huang Yimei smiled brightly, but shook her head affirmatively, "Of course not."
Chen Mo shrugged, "That's it."
Huang Yimei glanced at me and said, "Eh, didn't you realize that I wanted you to give me some positive feedback? Although I am 'willing to do what I want', I am still running a business and I still need the recognition from my customers."
Chen Mo laughed when he heard this and said, "You sound so willful."
Huang Yimei raised her eyebrows slightly, "Hmm, stop talking nonsense, hurry up."
Chen Mo was convinced and had to "cope" with it: "The naming is nothing more than two aspects, one is that it sounds good and easy to pronounce, and the other is that it has a good meaning."
"The name 'Rose Love' may sound a bit vulgar at first, but vulgarity is elegance. After careful consideration, I find that it is appealing to both the elegant and the vulgar."
"As for the meaning." Chen Mo paused and glanced at Huang Yimei, "Your name contains the word 'rose', and you are like a rose. Is there any more suitable name than this?"
Huang Yimei smiled with her eyes curved, nodded with satisfaction and said, "As expected of a music composer, you have artistic vision."
Chen Mo resisted the urge to roll his eyes and smiled, "Maybe it's because you're in the art industry, and we just happen to have artistic resonance."
Huang Yimei agrees, "It's hard to find a soulmate."
Huang Yimei didn't sound joking when she said this.
Chen Mo smiled knowingly, "Friends can't fill my stomach, let's go, let's go home and eat."
Huang Yimei saluted with two fingers, then stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Chen Mo looked at his receding figure and chuckled, "How free and easy."
Chen Mo knew that since Huang Yimei generously changed the name of the store to "Rose Love", it meant that she was no longer obsessed with memories of the past.
I dare not say that I have let go, and I may never let go. That person may always exist deep in Huang Yime's memory, but at least, she will no longer deliberately close a certain place in her heart.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
As several salutes and fireworks exploded, the red cloth was removed, revealing a plaque with the words "Ancient Tea-Horse Road" inscribed on it.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, the two founders, Ma Ye and Chen Mo, jointly completed the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the new store.
"Our 'Ancient Tea Horse Road' focuses on original leaf fresh milk tea, covering pure tea and fresh fruit tea. Today we hope to make friends over tea, and welcome everyone to come and taste it."
Master Ma gave a brief introduction and then welcomed the guest in.
Today, the "Ancient Tea-Horse Road" officially opened.
The first store covers an area of about 300 square meters and its decoration style is ancient Chinese style, yet still modern.
Whether it is the overall novel visual design or the Chinese elements and details such as the official script, facial makeup, and the ancient Tea-Horse Road map on the background wall, every detail is extremely thoughtful.
According to Zhang Mingyu’s original proposal, the store was going to adopt a wooden style to reflect the “simplicity” of tea culture.
But after Huang Zhenhua took over the design, he proposed to use large areas of matte metal materials instead of wooden elements, combining the rustic warmth of "tea" with the avant-garde fashion of "drinking".
It aims to break the traditional perception of "Chinese teahouse" and form a unique and recognizable oriental tea space.
When Mr. Ma heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. This was undoubtedly more in line with his concept of tea culture.
So, Mr. Ma decisively adopted the latter's proposal.
On the second floor, Ma Ye and Chen Mo looked down at the bustling customers in the store and smiled at each other.
Chen Mo smiled and said, "It seems that the first shot of opening the door went smoothly."
Seeing this, Master Ma was slightly relieved, but he was not completely reassured. "The first day is nothing. The next month will tell."
"Returning customers still depend on the product itself, and isn't that what you are most confident in, Mr. Ma?"
Chen Mo knew that Ma Ye was very cautious because of his previous failure experience.
Ma Ye affirmed: "Of course, each flavor is carefully developed and formulated by our professional team. From raw materials to production, we have independent control over all links, so I have absolute confidence in our products."
Chen Mo smiled and patted Master Ma on the shoulder. "That's it. Master Ma, you are an old hand. Just relax."
Master Ma chuckled and shook his head, sighing, "The older you get, the less courageous you become."
"In the past, I would have just opened the champagne."
Chen Mo joked, "You dare to open the champagne at halftime? No wonder Mr. Xie always said that you were arrogant and looked down on others."
Master Ma smiled and waved his hand, "Alas, the past is too painful to recall, so let's not talk about it."
Chen Mo laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? I am just being young and wild."
Master Ma smiled and shook his head, feeling a little sad in his heart.
"Mr. Ma, Mr. Chen."
An assistant came over and seemed to have some work to ask for instructions.
Chen Mo waved his hand and said, "Just do your thing. Don't worry about me, an idle person. I'll leave after I finish my tea." Ma Ye smiled and pointed with his finger, "Although I'm not involved in the entertainment industry, the news about your company's short dramas making a lot of money has been pushed out one after another recently. It's hard for me not to see it."
"If your idle staff means that you can make money just by lying down, then I really want to be one."
Chen Mo said helplessly: "If I could really make money lying down, I would have gone to Yunnan to lie down long ago, and I could also accompany Hongdou. Is there any need for me to stay here alone?"
Master Ma laughed and said, "One kind of lovesickness, two kinds of idle worries."
Chen Mo waved his hand, and Master Ma left without further delay to get busy.
"bump!"
"Sigh~~"
"sorry Sorry."
There was a noisy sound nearby, and Chen Mo turned around to look.
It turned out that a child was holding two cups of tea and was not paying attention to the road. He tripped over something and stumbled. When he half fell down, the tea in his hand spilled on the girl next to him.
"Sister, I'm sorry, I..." The little boy's face was a little flustered.
The girl smiled and shook her head, saying soothingly, "It's okay, just be more careful next time."
The child apologized repeatedly with gratitude and left, and the girl rubbed the back of her hand which was slightly red and swollen.
Chen Mo noticed that when the little boy fell, the girl was afraid that the child would get bumped, so she subconsciously reached out to block the corner of the table, and the little boy was not injured.
"Hey, Yike, your shirt, you have to go to an interview later."
Across the table, another girl hurriedly took out a tissue to help her friend dry it, "It's too late for you to change at school this time, why don't you find a nearby mall and buy a new one?"
Zhou Yike looked at the tea stains on his clothes, frowned, and sighed:
"Forget it, let's just leave it at that. The stain on the sleeve can be covered by my coat later, and the stain on the collar is not very big, so the interviewer may not notice it."
Lu Man obviously understood her best friend and glanced at her. "Are you worried about the money?"
Zhou Yike did not deny it. "We are about to leave school and rent our own house. I haven't received the salary I received as an assistant teacher in the training class last month. Let's save as much as possible."
"If you are short of money, you can buy from me first."
Before Lu Man finished speaking, Zhou Yike shook her head gently but firmly, "I have enough, Manman. It's just that I want to save a little and keep some money in my hand."
Lu Man opened her mouth. She knew Zhou Yike's personality and apologized, "I'm sorry, Yike. If I hadn't seen that this store was offering a discount, and hadn't dragged you here to make up the order, you would have gone directly for the interview and nothing would have happened."
Zhou Yike said with a smile: "According to what you said, if I hadn't had the interview, would I have just said that I would not have gone out today and just lay on the bed. The result would be the same anyway, and I could have saved some travel expenses?"
Hearing this, Lu Man smiled helplessly, "Okay, then I can only wish you good luck."
Zhou Yike pretended to be relaxed and said, "Don't worry. If you are picking on me because of a stain on my clothes instead of my ability, then this company is not that good. It's better not to join."
Lu Man said regretfully, "Ah, you, why did you have to be so stubborn? Your scumbag ex-boyfriend gave you an Audi A7 as a breakup fee, but you refused to take it."
"Otherwise, why would you have to live so tightly now?"
When Chen Mo heard this, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at the girl called "Yike".
Compared to the first time Chen Mo saw her, she was dressed up with great care, but in the end she looked like she was crying.
At this time, the girl simply tied her hair into a ponytail, revealing a beautiful face.
An ordinary white shirt creates a wave-like effect on her. The slim-fit jeans tightly wrap around her round and slender legs. The hem of the shirt is tucked into the jeans, revealing her slender waist.
Different from the exquisite attire she wore on previous dates, the girl now had a more graceful and elegant temperament.
The girl just shook her head and said, "He's not a scumbag. He didn't cheat on me or two-timing me."
"Besides, I'm not with him for his money."
Lu Man said angrily, "You don't want his money. If he gives it to you, you can take it. Since he gives you the money, it proves that he feels he owes you. Otherwise, why would he give it to you?"
"Even if you find a job, how long will it take us to save up enough to buy a car with the little salary we get every month? It will take at least three or four years. And even if you have the money to buy it, you can't get a license plate at BJ's."
Zhou Yike said calmly: "If he wants to give me the car because he feels he owes me, then I would rather he always feel that he owes me."
Lu Man couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand, "You don't want anything, are you just for a love that has no result?"
Zhou Yike asked back: "What is the result of love you are talking about?"
"Is marriage the result? Or does it mean that the two of you must die together?"
Lu Man hesitated and said, "Marriage doesn't seem to count, after all, you can get divorced even if you get married."
"Dead of old age. No, if we grow old together, that should count, right?"
Zhou Yike shook his head. "Even if two people grow old together, most people will just put up with each other. Love may be gone long before people grow old."
Lu Man frowned and asked, "Then what do you think is the result of love?"
Zhou Yike thought for a moment and said:
"Love itself is the result."
