Chapter 191: Chapter 154: Yixia, Didn’t Sleep All Night
He didn’t think anyone would come to buy anything.
But to his surprise, two young girls ran up and asked how much the oden cost.
Amused, Lu Fan personally went over the prices. "This one’s two dollars a serving, this one’s five, and this one is three."
"Okay, we’ll take one of each~" one of the girls said, glancing at Lu Fan before shooting a knowing grin at her companion.
Her companion caught on in a flash and chimed in, "Sir, you’re so handsome! To think you’re actually out here running a business."
"Are handsome people not allowed to run businesses?" Lu Fan chuckled. "If I weren’t doing this, where should I be?"
"You should be a male model. If you were, I’d definitely book you," the short-haired girl said, raising her eyebrows suggestively.
Lu Fan replied, "I’m old enough to be called ’uncle.’ If I tried to be a male model now, people would laugh their heads off."
"No way! You’re twenty-seven, twenty-eight at the most," the girl with pigtails stated confidently.
"That’s true," Lu Fan nodded. "I’m twenty-seven or twenty-eight, and you’re seventeen or eighteen."
At this, both girls started snickering.
They thought the owner of this shop was a lot of fun.
The girl with pigtails took a bite of oden and immediately gave him a thumbs-up. "Sir, this oden is delicious!"
"Then get another serving."
"Okay! But you have to take a picture with me later. I want to get a picture with a hottie to show my friends. I’ll tell them there’s a handsome owner here and to come give you some business."
"Alright."
The girl with pigtails immediately pulled out her phone, stood beside Lu Fan, and flashed a peace sign.
As it happened, this exact scene was witnessed by Jiang Yixia, who was standing at the entrance of the flower shop.
She was instantly speechless, complaining to herself, ’Of course. His knack for attracting women hasn’t changed one bit!’
Lu Fan, of course, knew Jiang Yixia had noticed. This was a perfect opportunity to use these two young women to make her jealous.
After all, it’s only when a woman gets jealous that she realizes just how important a man is to her.
「At the same time.」
Jiang Sifan and Wen Wan had finally finished settling the accounts for all their shops for the month.
He was thrilled.
This meant the five thousand yuan they had in the studio’s account was pure net profit!
As per their agreement, they set aside three thousand yuan for the studio’s operating funds, and the remaining two thousand would be split evenly between them.
Jiang Sifan said to Wen Wan, "We had to pay back the startup loan for the studio this month, so this is all that’s left. But don’t you worry. Starting next month, we’ll each be making no less than ten thousand yuan!"
Wen Wan said shyly, "Honestly, I’m happy enough just making a thousand yuan a month."
"No way. You’re my partner. If you only take a thousand, then I can’t bring myself to take any more either. We already agreed: the bulk of it goes back into the studio’s operating funds, and we split the rest fifty-fifty," Jiang Sifan stressed again.
Seeing his insistence, Wen Wan had no choice but to agree.
However, as soon as she received the transfer from Jiang Sifan, she immediately sent eight hundred yuan to her mother.
Jiang Sifan was stunned. He asked her, "Wen Wan, are you only leaving two hundred for yourself?"
"I... I have some of my own money. I don’t need that much," Wen Wan answered, a bit awkwardly.
His heart genuinely ached for her. He suddenly remembered his earlier promise to take her clothes shopping.
So he said to Wen Wan, "Come on, let’s go shopping today. You can help me pick out some nice clothes."
"Huh? I... I don’t have very good taste," Wen Wan replied, lacking confidence.
"I trust you. If you think it looks good, then I’ll think it looks good. Besides, you’re the one who spends the most time with me, so you’re basically the one I’m dressing for," Jiang Sifan said, trying various ways to reassure her.
Hearing this, Wen Wan could only agree.
But in reality, buying clothes for himself was just a pretext. His real goal was to buy new clothes for Wen Wan.
If he’d suggested it from the start, she probably wouldn’t have even agreed to go to the mall.
The plan was to coax her into the mall first; once there, he’d have all sorts of excuses to get her into a clothing store to try things on.
Jiang Sifan even found himself thinking, ’If Wen Wan wore a Japanese schoolgirl uniform, with her impressive bust and long legs, she could probably be the most popular cosplayer at any anime convention!’
’Of course, to get her to wear something like that... she’d probably only be comfortable enough to do it for her boyfriend.’
’So, he naturally just let the thought go. Unless...’
