Chapter 217: Chapter 196 Wedding Banquet Scene

Leng Mochen stood coolly by the side of the car. When he saw Li Si running over, he pulled her into his arms affectionately. "What were all those people doing by the front gate just now?"

Li Si looked at him sheepishly, hesitant to hide the truth. "Just now, our class monitor stopped me at the gate and confessed to me. I rejected him!"

A flicker of light passed through Leng Mochen’s eyes as he smiled and gently ruffled her hair. He opened the car door for her to sit in the passenger seat, then walked around to get in himself before speaking. "Little girl, you’re quite the catch! It looks like I’ll have to keep a close eye on you!"

"What are you talking about? Hurry up and drive!" Li Si, embarrassed, pushed away his handsome face that was inching closer to hers. They were at the school gate, after all, and there had been so many people watching her earlier—there were probably still some waiting for a show.

Leng Mochen leaned closer and gave her lips a soft kiss before pulling away, his gaze dark and intense as he looked at her. "I’m declaring my sovereignty! Do you have objections?"

"None!" Li Si’s cheeks flushed red. As the car started and headed toward Simeng, she finally let out a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the car windows were tinted, so no one outside could clearly see what was happening inside.

After a month of trial operations, Simeng Beauty Salon had successfully gained a stable base of clients during its customer cultivation phase and was now officially open for business today.

They had placed advertisements in newspapers and on TV stations. Three thousand promotional flyers had been printed, and hired staff had distributed them at upscale malls and residential communities.

The flyers advertised major discounts for the grand opening, offering monthly, quarterly, and annual cards. Card tiers included Silver, Gold, and Supreme levels.

Anyone who purchased a card would receive a complimentary gift, and purchases over 1,000 yuan would be eligible for a prize draw where everyone wins something. The grand prize was a four-day luxury trip to Sanya for one, while other prizes included beauty products.

When Li Si and the team arrived, the shopfront was bustling with activity. There were rainbow arches, a stage, a live band, and prize draws interspersed throughout the festivities, creating a lively atmosphere at Simeng. Invitations had been sent out diligently in the days prior, so the turnout was substantial.

By the time the doors closed for the night, Li Si and Su Meng began counting the membership card sales, which far exceeded expectations.

"Sisi, I didn’t expect our first day of official operations would be this successful!" Su Meng exclaimed as she organized the members’ information.

If business continued like this, Li Si would recover her costs in no time.

Li Si was delighted as well. She smiled playfully and patted Su Meng’s shoulder with her right hand. "This is all thanks to you guys! Without the early-stage promotions and customer cultivation efforts, we couldn’t have sold so many cards today!"

"Sisi, I’m so optimistic about our future! I feel energized all over!"

Li Si glanced at the time—it was already 8 p.m. "Optimism and energy are great, but Meng Meng, it’s getting late. Let’s close up and go celebrate! Mochen and the others have already reserved a spot to celebrate our successful opening!"

Long Wu and Xu Er had sent congratulatory flower baskets. Since the salon’s clientele was predominantly female, they didn’t show up in person but opted to host a celebration banquet for them instead.

The sparkle in Su Meng’s eyes dimmed instantly. "Sisi, can I not go?" She lowered her head and sighed helplessly. "You know how awkward and tense things are when I see Long Wensong."

"Meng Meng, it’s up to you! But it’s not just us going—it’s everyone from the shop. If you don’t want to attend, that’s okay too!" Li Si truly hoped she would go but respected her decision.

As they were talking, someone knocked on the office door. "Come in!"

Li Si set down the pen she was holding and glanced at Zhang Qian as she opened the door. "What is it?"

Zhang Qian had been nominated by the salon’s beauticians to gather some intel. Ever since lunchtime when they heard that the President’s boyfriend and his buddies were hosting dinner tonight, several young women in the salon had been distracted all day.

What a golden opportunity to get up close and personal with tall, rich, and handsome men! Aside from the President’s boyfriend, the other two were rumored to be eligible bachelors!

This rare chance had even motivated a few staff members to practice their singing in preparation to impress their dream men.

She sneaked a glance at Li Si and Su Meng and asked hesitantly, "President Li, I just wanted to check—are we still going to the gathering tonight as planned?"

"Of course! Tell them to hurry and change; we’re leaving soon!"

"Got it!" Zhang Qian responded cheerfully and ran out to share the good news with everyone.

Li Si watched her retreating figure and chuckled, shaking her head. They’re still so young—it’s hard for them to resist the allure of food, drink, and fun.
