Chapter 260: Chapter 195: Return to the Capital_2
Chen Pingsheng had been in Magic City for just a few days when he decided on driving the orange and silver Phantom convertible parked in the middle.
"Why don't you take the Phantom four-seater instead of the convertible, planning to take your Mi for a spin?" Yang Mi teased him.
Talk as she might, Yang Mi decisively got into the passenger seat.
She was wearing a deep blue dress that day, which quite conspicuously accentuated her figure.
As a female star in the entertainment circle, being sexy had become a habit.
She confidently displayed her good figure.
Chen Pingsheng said, "The weather is pretty good today, perfect for a convertible."
"Aren't you worried about me being recognized and dragging you into the trending searches?"
Yang Mi fastened her seatbelt, her figure now even more pronounced.
"Give me a break, I'm not looking to make headlines in the entertainment industry."
Chen Pingsheng urged her to put on sunglasses and a hat quickly.
That's the downside of being a big star, going out means you're a noticeable package.
This time, he planned to check out his own large yacht.
Luxury yachts, even just sitting docked, cost at least a million a year.
His family's yacht was docked at the Magic City International Passenger Transport Center Yacht Harbor.
It was the largest in the Huangpu River, boasting the highest number of docked yachts.
Located in the prime area of North Bund.
From here, you could take in the sight of the high-rise buildings of Lujiazui and the multinational architecture of The Bund.

It was also the only port on the Huangpu River qualified to berth foreign yachts.
His yacht stood out among those luxury ones.
It was 33.5 meters long, 7.2 meters wide, with a draft of about two meters.
The body had clean, elegant lines, very domineering.
At the stern, there was a U-shaped lounge settee, with two rooms inside, one master bedroom and one secondary bedroom.
You could even watch the sea from the rooms at night.
No wonder his wife had let the spoiled brat buy this large yacht; it was indeed very nice.
It far exceeded his own expectations, and he planned to call his wife to come out to sea when they had time.
Yang Mi also looked at it and loved it.
She could definitely afford it, just didn't see the necessity.
She wasn't Chen Pingsheng; she still had to consider practicality when shopping.
She'd just tag along when he went out to sea, but for now, she had to hurry off to work.
After Yang Mi left, Chen Pingsheng wandered the streets and alleys of Magic City.
He even snapped a few hilarious photos on Nanjing Street.
Chen An'an's fondness for fooling around, no doubt, was somewhat inherited.
The coffee shops were truly numerous around Magic City, all over the streets.
And nicely decorated, too.
He took quite a few photos and planned to consult a design team for an overall decor scheme once back in Capital City.
Chen Pingsheng found an upscale coffee shop on Nanjing Street to sit down and review the day's work accomplishments.
Nanjing Street lived up to its reputation as a nationally renowned bustling street, swarming with foreigners.
With every passerby, he could catch a whiff of a different perfume scent.
He sat there until four in the afternoon before he called Chu Qiuyan.
He asked her to come over for a drink whenever she was free since Qiuyan had bought a property in Magic City.
She had even moved her grandmother and sister to this city; the three-bedroom apartment was quite enough for them.
She also bought a car, a modest white Audi A7.
Nanjing Street wasn't far from the Bobo Milk Tea headquarters, just a ten-minute drive.
Come year's end, she was going back to Capital City for her graduation ceremony.
Chen Pingsheng was quite envious of her life, a young winner already.
At the graduation ceremony, she would undoubtedly be one to speak on stage.
When Chu Qiuyan arrived, she was still quiet and calm.
Chen Pingsheng wanted her opinions on the current status of Bobo Milk Tea.
After a pause, Qiuyan finally said it was doing quite well.
Chen Pingsheng sensed she had more to say but didn't probe further.
Mid-September.
They were heading to Xiangjiang to ring the stock market bell, an event more pressing than any potential issue.
As for his coffee shop venture, he would inform them at the first opportunity.
Though coffee shops and milk tea shops both served beverages, they didn't exactly compete.
Their target demographics were entirely different.
For locals wandering around Nanjing Street, it was coffee they'd stop for, not milk tea.
Milk tea was considered rather tacky to them.
Something they wouldn't drink as they grew older.
Qiuyan found that perfectly normal, given Yiteng Entertainment Group's profound influence in the entertainment industry.
She wouldn't be satisfied with only Bobo Milk Tea.
Even in Magic City, Tengying was a well-known name in the entertainment industry.
While Bobo Milk Tea had a modest reputation among the youth.
The difference between them was like a chasm, they simply couldn't be compared.
She also offered a few minor suggestions.
The impact of Starbucks was deeply entrenched in the coffee world.
Topping it was virtually impossible.
Milk tea could perhaps try blending with coffee to cater to a younger audience and carve out a distinct path from Starbucks.
To establish differentiated competition.
Chen Pingsheng thought her idea was quite good.
Bobo Milk Tea had thrived and quickly built a strong reputation among its customers.
Qiuyan's own development of several blockbuster milk tea products was indispensable.
She was among the pioneers of light cream milk tea in the country.
Chen Pingsheng would never deny her contribution to Bobo Milk Tea.
However, she was indeed still too young; while she could develop blockbuster milk teas, she didn't yet have the capability to manage a large-scale milk tea retail enterprise with thousands of outlets.
