Chapter 554: Chapter 431: Cheng Zhu and I are 55-45

After being busy for a while, Chen Yue decided to check out Youu Tea.

She thought she would walk there quickly, exuding confidence as she proceeded. Yet, halfway there, she felt inexplicably nervous.

It couldn’t be helped; she had always admired the milk tea business model that Cheng Zhu had created, and later became enamored with the unique taste of Youu Tea. After opening her shop, she was often outmatched.

As a result, her confidence had dwindled considerably.

As she approached the Youu Tea store, she looked from a distance and then let out a long sigh of relief, a smile of relief spreading across her face.

"The business isn’t doing that well!"

"The queue looks similar to mine!"

For the moment, things were unfolding just as she had predicted.

"I won’t go closer then, to avoid being recognized," thought Chen Yue.

Because she only glanced from afar, she was unaware that on the big screen at Youu Tea, there was a preview of a new product.

A product called "Passion Fruit Duo" was set to launch the next day.

In his previous life, among all the milk tea brands’ passion fruit offerings, this one was Cheng Zhu’s favorite.

Of course, this might also have been because the brand’s owner had also graduated from Technology University. They were schoolmates who had coincidentally met at a dinner and had added each other as friends and chatted a bit.

At this moment, the somewhat inflated Chen Yue had only one thought in mind:

"I’m on par with Cheng Zhu."

...

...

In March 2015,

the passion fruit was still considered a niche fruit.

In fact, the rising popularity of many fruits was inseparable from online marketing.

And for fruits like passion fruits to surge in popularity, platforms like "Little Red Book" definitely played a role.

Every time Youu Tea launched a new product, Cheng Zhu would allocate a marketing budget.

He paid a lot of attention to the passion fruit series as it was a consistently popular product; people drank it all year round.

Due to the fruit’s uniqueness, the marketing inevitably linked it with "becoming beautiful."

How many women in the world could resist the allure of those two words?

You should know, many so-called beauty products are like a tax on intelligence, like some beauty instruments selling for thousands with virtually no effect and no significant tech content. But with good marketing, they can still sell out!

"Our milk tea does contain passion fruit, and this stuff really does help with beauty; it’s backed by actual science," Cheng Zhu did not feel he was deceiving anyone.

At the time, after the product was developed, he even personally made a cup for Lin Lu to taste.

"Passion fruit, huh?" Lin Lu honestly said, "I actually don’t like eating passion fruit."

"Why, too sour?"

"Yes, I can’t get used to it."

Many people initially felt this way about passion fruit; it tasted sour and had a strange flavor upon first trying.

You should know, China is a food-loving empire.

If something initially isn’t popular in China, then there’s only one possibility—it’s not delicious at the moment!

And why say it’s not delicious for the moment?

Because the people of this food-loving empire always have a terrifying ability to turn the unappetizing into the delightful.

Some unpalatable things can also be turned into delicious methods of consumption,

like passion fruit honey water or passion fruit fruit tea.

"This stuff is really good for you women," Cheng Zhu said with a smile to Lin Lu.

"I know, my beautician and nutritionist have told me," Lin Lu pouted, "but I just can’t get used to it!"

"That’s because it hasn’t been through my hands!" Cheng Zhu boasted proudly.

He placed the sliced open passion fruit and a cup of "Passion Fruit Duo" in front of Lin Lu.

"Come on, compare the tastes."

The spirited girl immediately frowned upon hearing this.

"Can I just drink the milk tea?" she asked.

Obviously, she really resisted eating raw passion fruit.

She didn’t like eating sour stuff.

Ningning, on the other hand, loved it.

"No," Cheng Zhu said directly, "how can you appreciate my brilliance then?"

The voice actress immediately switched to a playful tone, saying, "Brother Zhu, you’ve always been amazing in my heart."

Cheng Zhu laughed, saying, "Speaking of which, do you know that the direct translation of the English name for passion fruit is actually ’passion fruit’ or ’love fruit’?"

"Even if it’s called the love fruit, I won’t eat it!" Lin Lu tilted her head, not buying into it.

Well, it seems she really dislikes passion fruit, enough to cure this silly girl of her romantic illusions!

"Alright, it seems I really did pick the right person for this taste test," Cheng Zhu said helplessly.

Lin Lu picked up the passion fruit milk tea, still somewhat unsure.

She put on an expression of noble martyrdom on her face, then suddenly opened her mouth wide, took the straw in her lips with great force... and sipped a little.

Cheng Zhu had made it seventy percent sweet, so it was a bit less sour.

After tasting the fruit tea, a small surprise appeared on Lin Lu’s face.

"Eh? It’s actually tasty, sweet and sour!" she exclaimed and took another big gulp.

Upon tasting, the spirited girl unreservedly gave her boyfriend a thumbs up, praising him.

"How did you guys develop this?" she asked, very astonished.

"Don’t ask, just know it’s the genius of milk tea!" a certain Reborn shamelessly said.
