Chapter 227: Lu Yanran will try on clothes in the VIP room; sponsorship matters will be discussed la
Chapter 227 Please have Lu Yanran try on clothes in the VIP room; we will discuss sponsorship matters later.
As soon as the system finished broadcasting, I quickly covered my ears to avoid being accidentally hurt.
As expected, upon hearing the final reward, Bai Mengran was so excited that she couldn't help but shout loudly, "Whoosh~" "So cool~"...
When Lu Yanran heard the invitation, Bai Jiu remained silent for a long time, seemingly lost in deep thought. A sense of frustration welled up in her heart, thinking that the invitation was hopeless.
However, at that moment, Miss Bai suddenly cheered loudly, startling Lu Yanran.
"Miss Bai, what's wrong with you...?"
After her initial excitement, Bai Mengran quickly suppressed her smile.
Realizing that his obvious joy might have startled others, he smiled awkwardly and explained, "Well... I was just so happy to hear Miss Lu's invitation that I lost my composure... Please forgive me, Miss Lu."
In fact, Bai Mengran was already secretly delighted when she heard that the first task reward was a luxury homestay.
But to her surprise, the reward for the second task was even more exciting!
Who would have thought the reward would be a high-speed train?!
She has been struggling with how to expand her customer base, and this task reward has undoubtedly opened up new ideas for her.
Public transportation has limited capacity, but this mission not only gave her the opportunity to meet more clients, but also allowed her to complete her task while traveling – a win-win-win situation!
She secretly resolved to take good care of this group of literati, since each of them was essentially a component of her high-speed train!
Seeing that Miss Bai accepted her invitation so happily, Lu Yanran was overjoyed.
That's great! She finally has company, and she doesn't need to plead with her grandfather anymore!
"Thank you so much, Miss Bai, for gracing me with your presence. You've truly saved me from dire straits..."
Lu Yanran sincerely thanked her and turned to the maid beside her, saying, "Little Fool, quickly take out the invitation and give it to Miss Bai!"
Xiao Hutu finally snapped out of his daze, hurriedly responded, and carefully took out the banquet invitation from his pouch, respectfully handing it to Bai Mengran: "Please take this, Miss."
Bai Mengran accepted the invitation. On the cover, the words "Invitation to the Floating Wine Cups on a Winding Stream" were written in flowing and powerful regular script.
She opened the invitation, carefully read the main text, and learned about the original intention, theme, banquet process, and specific location of the event.
Seeing the signature "Respectfully invited by Lu Weihuai" at the end, Bai Mengran felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.
However, considering that Lu Yanran also shared the surname Lu, she asked curiously, "May I ask, Miss Lu, who is this person who invited us...?"
When Lu Yanran noticed that she had noticed her grandfather's signature, she quickly explained, "This is my grandfather. He once served as a court painter in the Hanlin Academy. This banquet was personally organized by him."
Bai Mengran understood immediately upon hearing this, and she couldn't help but feel smug about her first-hand judgment.
"I knew I wasn't mistaken, Miss Lu truly comes from a scholarly family, no wonder she has such an extraordinary air about her~"
Thinking of the mission requirements, Bai Mengran changed the subject, "By the way, regarding the catering arrangements for this banquet, I wonder if Mr. Lu has already made a decision?"
If it's convenient, I'd like to book all the catering for this "Floating Wine Cups" banquet under the name of our "Fairyland." Would Miss Lu be so kind as to make some introductions?
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanran's eyes widened in surprise. She hadn't expected that the guest she had just invited would turn around and propose to host the banquet.
She was extremely surprised and couldn't help but ask again to confirm, "Miss Bai... does she mean to provide catering for the Floating Wine Cup Banquet?"
"It's not about providing, it's about sponsoring."
Seeing that Lu Yanran had misunderstood, Bai Mengran quickly clarified, "I plan to sponsor all the catering for this banquet free of charge in the name of [Fairyland]."
This puzzled Lu Yanran even more. She had thought that because of the outstanding food in [Fairyland], Miss Bai wanted to volunteer to provide the banquet food, but she didn't expect that she would directly sponsor it. This...
Unable to understand no matter how hard she tried, Lu Yanran couldn't help but blurt out, "Miss Bai, what is your intention... uh, why?"
When Bai Mengran heard that she wanted to ask what she was after, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Since the ancients couldn't understand the concept of "sponsor," I had to explain it plainly.
"I wonder if Miss Lu understands, but actually, I wish to take this opportunity to promote the name of my [Fairyland]."
If the guests at the banquet are satisfied with our food, then our reputation will spread as a result…
This explanation made Lu Yanran instantly understand.
She stared incredulously at Bai Mengran, who had made such a profound decision in such a short time, and said in a daze, "Miss Bai is truly exceptionally intelligent. Yanran is too superficial..."
She thought about how she had heard about the delicious food in "Fairyland" all along the way. Although she had never experienced it in person, just the sweet and sour fruit tea alone was enough to make her look forward to the food in "Fairyland".
She thought that if Miss Bai were really willing to sponsor the catering, it might add even more surprises to the Floating Wine Cup Banquet.
After all, the meals my grandfather used to prepare were, well, rather...unpleasant to describe.
At each banquet, apart from elders of similar age to my grandfather, almost no one else would touch the cakes and fruits.
Younger guests, in particular, prefer novel and trendy food to traditional snacks like Eight Treasures Cake and Poria Cake that their grandparents' generation enjoyed.
If the catering arrangements for the banquet could be changed, wouldn't that make the banquet even more perfect?
Thinking of this, she immediately agreed, "Alright, I can introduce Miss Bai to my grandfather's residence."
As for whether it can be implemented, I'm afraid it will require Miss Bai to discuss it in detail with my grandfather..."
Lu Yanran thought for a moment, then added, "It's just that my grandfather... is particularly obsessed with painting, and he's never been very concerned about other things. Miss Bai, you..."
"Don't worry, Miss Lu, I'll be satisfied as long as you can introduce me to my grandfather."
As for the rest, I will do my best to show my sincerity.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Bai Mengran smiled and invited Lu Yanran to the VIP room to choose clothes.
"Miss Lu, we can discuss the cooperation in more detail later."
I'm so sorry I accidentally delayed your fitting time!
Okay, I'll arrange a private VIP room for you right away, so you can freely choose your favorite outfits~
After speaking, she gently beckoned the three or four people who were waiting quietly to come closer, and whispered her instructions:
"Third and fourth, quickly find a comfortable and elegant VIP room for Miss Lu to try on clothes. No charge, and remember to be thorough!"
Seeing that she was being so polite, Lu Yanran was about to refuse, but Bai Mengran stopped her with her own words.
"Yanran, we've known each other for only a quarter of an hour, why be so formal?"
Hurry up and go inside to choose your clothes, I'll wait for you outside~
Bai Mengran affectionately entrusted Lu Yanran to the three or four guides, and then quietly left.
He secretly planned to investigate the "battlefield" between Kong Nishang and Madam Kong...
