My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 879 - 890 Ending - 21
Chapter 879: 890 Ending Chapter 21
Lin Xiangwan arrived at the restaurant as agreed, and Song Yichen was already waiting.
"Wanwan..."
"Brother!" Lin Xiangwan emphasized his relationship in order to set boundaries between them.
Song Yichen smiled. "We have lived together for so many years, yet you never called me brother before, and now you are calling me that!"
Lin Xiangwan laughed somewhat awkwardly. "Times change, before you should have been my brother, but I never treated you as one. Now that I’m married and have kids, you are my brother, so of course, I’ll call you that!"
"Okay!" Song Yichen was happy. "I’m glad you still consider me your brother!"
Lin Xiangwan adjusted her sitting posture. "Let’s talk business, you mentioned you wanted to discuss work-related matters?"
"Yeah, I think our Sheraton should expand its business scope!"
"What do you want to manage?"
"I want to manage... the beauty industry, what do you think?" Song Yichen asked.
Lin Xiangwan thought for a moment. "If you say you want to do business targeting women and profit from them, I think that’s a great idea, beauty and hair salons are hugely profitable, there’s no reason not to pursue it. However, if you want to use the Sheraton brand name, I think that’s not a good idea!"
"Why?" Song Yichen had his reasons. "Sheraton should be a very powerful brand, I think it would attract some customers!"
"Wrong, wrong, totally wrong!" Lin Xiangwan kept denying it, shaking her head continually. "Sheraton has indeed a high reputation in the hotel industry, even the food sector has a good reputation. But it has nothing to do with beauty. If you say you want to handle beauty under the Sheraton banner, this...it can only make people feel that your beauty services are not professional, not scientific, unable to convince consumers...in short, if it were me, I wouldn’t buy it!"
Song Yichen accepted Lin Xiangwan’s suggestions and nodded repeatedly. "You’ve reminded me, indeed it cannot be done like this! It seems, my plan must be scrapped!"
"Scrapped? It doesn’t have to be that way, you could totally collaborate with a major international brand, that would be more effective!"
"But that would require paying a lot of franchise fees, and the profits later would have to be shared with them, I think it’s unnecessary!"
Lin Xiangwan rolled her eyes. "You’re not going to begrudge that kind of money, are you? They have the reputation, the technology, the products, if you could really associate with some xx brand, that would be a huge advantage for you! Paying some funds for these benefits, I think it’s too worthwhile! You must know even if you offer a lot of money, they might not want to collaborate with you, how do they know what credibility you have, and if you mess up their brand, they will incur losses too!"
Song Yichen picked up his tea cup and took a few sips of tea. "What you say makes sense! However, right now I don’t have a way to contact these brands!"
Lin Xiangwan thought for a moment. "I know Qin Muchuan has a good relationship with the CEO of Unilever Asia, I had dinner with him before!"
"So... you do have a way then?" Song Yichen was excited, his eyes brightened.
Lin Xiangwan looked troubled. "But I’m not close to him, he might not even recognize me!"
Song Yichen felt a bit disappointed.
"However, I’m willing to ask Qin Muchuan, to see if he can help you get in touch!" Lin Xiangwan added.
Song Yichen was incredibly excited as he grabbed her hand. "Great, great, I’ll leave this matter in your hands then!"
Lin Xiangwan awkwardly withdrew her hand.
Song Yichen’s release was even more awkward. "Sorry, I got too excited!"
"Um, no worries, I understand!" Lin Xiangwan diverted her gaze.
"Here, try the coffee, it’s not bad!"
"Oh, no, I can’t drink coffee!" Lin Xiangwan actually loved the smell of coffee and was very tempted to drink it.
But now, everything was for the sake of the baby in her belly.
"Why can’t you drink it?" Song Yichen stopped asking when he saw her gently rubbing her belly, guessing. "Could it be that you are pregnant again?"
Lin Xiangwan nodded, unable to stop herself from smiling. "Yes, pregnant!"
Song Yichen’s face fell for two seconds, but he quickly smiled again. "Congratulations, it looks like I’m going to be an uncle again!"
Lin Xiangwan laughed. "Yeah, don’t forget to bring a gift when the time comes!"
"Okay! But you must let me know in advance if it’s a boy or a girl, so I, as an uncle, can prepare properly. As an uncle, my first big gift must be something the baby likes..."
"Then you’ll have to wait until the baby is born before you can give it as I don’t plan to find out the sex of the baby in advance. I want to wait until the day the baby is born for the surprise!"
"Right, right!" Song Yichen agreed wholeheartedly. "Knowing early on, later there would be no anticipation!"
"..."
It took Song Yichen a while to think of something. "If you can’t drink coffee, what about something else? Maybe fresh juice, would that be okay?"
"Oh, no need to bother, I’m leaving now!"
"The wind outside is strong, you barely arrived, so at least drink some juice to get some Vitamin C, it’s good for both the baby and you!" Song Yichen did not want Lin Xiangwan to leave so quickly; he hadn’t even had a proper conversation with her yet.
Without listening to Lin Xiangwan’s refusal, he directly called the waiter and ordered orange juice.
Lin Xiangwan could only sit down temporarily. "Actually, you’re not young anymore, you really should find a girlfriend and settle down soon!"
"Yes, I think so too!"
"Then hurry up and also hurry up to have children. Look at how the celebrities are all showing off their kids, making the youngsters eager to get married and have kids. If you don’t hurry, you’ll be overtaken by the youngsters!"
"Hehe, I haven’t met the right half yet, how can I have kids!"
"You need to find that other half, though!"
Song Yichen smiled. "I’m also looking, just haven’t found yet!"
"Okay!"
That’s when the juice was served. Lin Xiangwan took a sip. "Hmm, I’ll ask Qin Muchuan about the matter we discussed and call you if there’s any news!"
"Good!"
"I’m leaving now!" Lin Xiangwan said.
"So soon, finish your drink first!"
Lin Xiangwan rubbed her belly. "I’m always drinking all sorts of soups; my belly really can’t take any more!"
"But they say replenishing vitamins can make the baby fair!"
"Really?" Lin Xiangwan hesitated again. "Of course, ordinary stuff like this supplements nutrition better; you can’t always rely on Bird Nest, can you?"
Lin Xiangwan nodded. "Okay, I’ll drink it then!"
Just then, Lin Xiangwan’s phone on the table rang.
