Rebirth: I have Monopoly System

The next day.

Even though it was Sunday, Bai Yue eagerly pulled Wu Yun out of bed. After having breakfast at the hotel, she dragged him out to go shopping. In her words: "The sooner we buy everything, the sooner we can move in."

A woman on a shopping mission is a terrifying thing. By the time Wu Yun flew to Modu on Monday, his calves still felt a little weak—though that might have also been because Bai Yue had been too wild at night.

After arriving in Modu that morning, Wu Yun didn’t go straight to the drama academy to pick up Qi Fei from class. Instead, he went to see someone he hadn’t met in a long time: Xu Chenxi.

The moment Xu Chenxi saw Wu Yun, she looked at him with teary eyes and said, "Darling! I thought you’d abandoned me!"

Of course, she was just being dramatic. Wu Yun had directly transferred four million to her, which she used to rent an apartment, buy a car, and open her shop in Modu.

Wu Yun smiled faintly. "You could have just left, you know. It’s not like you would have lost out."

Xu Chenxi dropped her act, wiped her eyes, and then smiled. "How could I? I’m definitely going to stay with you forever!"

’Are you kidding me? He transferred four million just like that, without even blinking. How could she, Xu Chenxi, ever bear to give up such a high-quality man?’

"Darling! Come on! Let me show you my coffee shop!" Xu Chenxi said, pulling Wu Yun by the hand toward the store.

Wu Yun looked at the somewhat familiar name on the sign, and then he heard Xu Chenxi’s voice. "Darling, I’m so lucky to have met you, so I named my coffee shop Luckin Coffee."

Wu Yun felt like he’d been struck by lightning. He couldn’t help but marvel, ’If there are any similarities, it’s purely a coincidence!’

Xu Chenxi continued, "I originally wanted to name it ’Lucky,’ but I felt that name was too common, so I changed it to Luckin Coffee!"

Wu Yun looked at Xu Chenxi with an appreciative gaze. In his eyes, the coffee shop’s location and pricing made it a surefire money-maker. If Xu Chenxi managed it well and had a clear business plan, it was possible for it to become a well-known brand, even if it didn’t grow at the same speed as its predecessor from his past life.

As for copying or surpassing the original from his past life, Wu Yun hadn’t thought that far. After all, the original Luckin Coffee had achieved a market capitalization of tens of billions of US Dollars after going public in his previous life!

Listening to Xu Chenxi’s explanation, she even had an employee make Wu Yun a specialty coffee to try.

"Not bad, not bad at all!" Although Wu Yun didn’t know much about coffee, he found this cup wasn’t bad to drink and was actually quite easy to accept.

Xu Chenxi lifted her chin like a proud rooster. "Of course! We use authentic coffee beans to grind our coffee. It’s nothing like that instant coffee you find on the market!"

Wu Yun thought for a moment before speaking. "Xu Chenxi, do you have any ambitions? Have you thought about making Luckin Coffee bigger?"

Wu Yun felt that with enough financial backing, success wouldn’t be too difficult. This opportunity today served as a reminder, which was why he thought to ask Xu Chenxi for her thoughts.

Xu Chenxi froze for a second, then wrapped her arm around Wu Yun’s. "Darling, I’d love to be a powerful businesswoman, but I don’t think I’m cut out for it."

Wu Yun scanned Xu Chenxi’s Skills with his glasses. Indeed, her Management Skill was just at the beginner level. It was fine for running this one shop, which wasn’t too demanding, but managing a whole company would only end in bankruptcy.

Wu Yun then said, "I was thinking, since we’ve already started, why not turn it into a chain brand? Just like Starbucks!"

Hearing Wu Yun’s words, Xu Chenxi’s eyes lit up. She shook Wu Yun’s arm and said, "Darling! We can give it a try! I’ve done my research! Right now, Starbucks is the only major chain coffee shop brand in the country. The rest are all small, regional shops like mine. Even the ones with a few branches have limited influence."

His fingers tapped a steady rhythm on the tabletop as Wu Yun fell into deep thought. Seeing him like this, Xu Chenxi didn’t disturb him.

After a long while, Wu Yun made his decision. "You go ahead and open for business as planned. I’ll leave the matter of establishing a company to the professionals. I’ll have people increase the investment, and your shares will just be diluted."

"Ah! Darling, aren’t you going to manage it?" Xu Chenxi knew that when Wu Yun said "increase the investment," he was talking about a figure in the tens of millions at least. Although she loved money, a number that large still made her legs go weak.

"I don’t have much time. We’ll have a headhunter find a general manager. You can just be a minor shareholder."

Acting on a decision immediately was always Wu Yun’s style. He had Wang Hao call a headhunter they had worked with before and asked him to help find management talent from a coffee or beverage chain.

As for registering the brand and the company, Wu Yun tossed that task to an agency as well.

Xu Chenxi hadn’t expected her little coffee shop to cause Wu Yun to make such big moves. She asked in a low voice, "Darling, after the company is established, what about me? Do I go and open another shop?"

"You gave me the inspiration, so just be a minor shareholder. Even if your shares are diluted to one percent, or a few tenths of a percent, they’ll still be very valuable. Just sit back and collect the money!"

Xu Chenxi broke into a sweet smile and rested her head on Wu Yun’s shoulder. "Darling, I’ll do whatever you say!"

Afterward, Wu Yun played the part of the listener as Xu Chenxi recounted all the hardships she had faced during this time—running around to research the market, conducting surveys, and finally settling on this location to open her shop.

The two shared an intimate lunch together before Xu Chenxi invited Wu Yun to see the apartment she was renting.

Having not seen each other in a long time, Xu Chenxi was especially proactive. She not only showed Wu Yun the kitchen, living room, and bedroom, but they even spent quite some time "touring" the bathroom.

Wu Yun even counted every single tile in the bathroom.

A long time later, Xu Chenxi was lying in Wu Yun’s arms and asked with a smile, "Darling, let’s go see the Bund on New Year’s Eve!"

Wu Yun, who had just been relaxing, felt his hair stand on end when he heard this. He recalled the "Annual Major Events Compilation" he had bought before.

It was clearly recorded on it: "At the end of 2014, during the New Year’s Eve celebrations, many tourists and citizens gathered at the Bund in Modu to welcome the new year. At the bottom of the pedestrian staircase leading from the southeast corner of Chen Yi Square on the Bund in Huangpu District to the Huangpu River viewing platform, someone lost their balance and fell, triggering a series of severe consequences."

The record was just a short paragraph, but behind it lay a fear that sent a chill down one’s spine.

Wu Yun’s expression turned serious as he said, "I have plans for New Year’s Eve! You are not allowed to go to the Bund this year! Remember my words! Do not go to the Bund!"

Seeing Wu Yun’s expression, Xu Chenxi was a little intimidated even though she didn’t know why. She still forced a smile and agreed, "Okay! Darling! Without you, I’m not that interested in going to the Bund for New Year’s Eve anyway! I might as well just stay home!"

Seeing how obedient Xu Chenxi was, Wu Yun’s tone softened. "It’s too crowded there. It’s not safe for you to go alone. If a stampede happens, it’ll be too late for regrets."
