Chapter 168: Just Who Is The Owner?
The next few days passed quickly, and soon, it was the weekend.
Since she had sent out invitations about four days ago, many people in City A already knew that a store was opening today.
Rong Yue had decided to name it 'Lyfe'. When pronounced, it sounded like Life. It also made a lot of people curious and wondered what this store was selling.
But more than what it was selling, they were also concerned about who was behind the business.
To be able to invite all of these people meant that it had to be someone influential!
The launching was in the evening, but Rong Yue and all of them were already there from early in the morning.
Mother Song and Rong Xia had formed a good relationship over time and the both of them after arranging matters with the children went up to get ready.
On the other hand, Sun Li, Song Yan, Song Jian and their little sister all stayed together in one room with Rong Yue.
They had worked all day and Rong Yue had ordered a late lunch for them to eat before getting ready for the launch.
"Do you think people would come today?" Sun Li asked, a little worried.
Although she and her mother had offered to help Rong Yue out after seeing how effective her products were, they had also noticed that most of the families and friends that they told had brushed the matter off.
After all, in this generation, there had been so many companies that had come in the name of traditional and ancient Chinese medicine and beauty treatments. But in the end, their products would be even lesser than the western and foreign ones.
With more than one occurrence, a lot of people had lost any faith in herbal remedies and just wanted to stick to the more expensive foreign ones.
"It's okay if only a few people come. The important thing is to have a proper launching event. If the company grows through word of mouth eventually, we would recoup all costs," Rong Yue replied with a shrug.
She had planned the launch very carefully because she wanted the first momentum to be good.
However, all her hopes were not on it because she understood that her influence was not yet enough. She had some influence in the black market and the digital world, but she didn't want to make those connections physical yet.
At least, till she was strong enough.
And so, because of this, she had a mind of someone just doing their best.
Song Jian had a different perspective however. "In the last two weeks, people have been really curious about here, it had even come up on the internet once a while."
"Even if they don't buy immediately, I believe that we might have a lot of virtual audience and people that can't wait to bash our products." He analysed.
Rong Yue also nodded, agreeing with his theory.
People hated being played the most. With how big they had gone with their design, there would surely be some group of people that would want to buy just to bash them.
Since their product were actually good, it was impossible for those people to get the end result that they wanted. Because of this, their word of mouth would help down the line.
The five of them chatted and after eating, they all went to get ready. As for Rong Yue, she had no plans of exposing herself as the big boss and so she didn't dress too elaborately.
Her plan was to enter the launch event with Sun Li later on.
Time passed and soon it was already 7pm, the time they had picked for the event.
The Sun family came quite early, showing how much value they placed over the friendship that Rong Yue had with their daughter.
Seeing her three brothers with her parents, Sun Li waved eagerly at them, excited that all of them were able to come.
The live cameras was also recording everything happening outside and inside the building to the audience that were at home.
"Wow! I feel like I have been transported back in time to the ancient China!" Someone commented the moment the camera did a slow intake of the entrance to the inside. Also, the ladies that were arranged to greet and welcome people were dressed to match the timeline.
Every of their action made it seem like they were watching an ancient drama.
"I'm going here tomorrow. I need to get this feeling in person!" Another person commented.
"Me too!" +3
"I agree!"
"See you there tomorrow guys!"
"My place is close, I'll be going there now!" Another person said.
The last comment got so many people that agreed to do the same.
While people were awed by the grandiose of the store, another thing soon caught their attention.
The guests!
First, the military Sun family that would usually stay away from public eye had been the first to arrive which showed the emphasis they placed on this.
Some other people had arrived after then and while some people knew them, there was nothing too alarming.
However, just now, three people from the An family walked in. Unlike the Sun family, the An family was a family with deep roots in the capital. But because they were business oriented, they had moved a branch down to manage things here about ten years ago.
Now, in City A, if one wanted to count the top strongest families, if the An family came second, no other family would dare to claim first.
They had also sent three important representatives and also gave a cash, flower and calligraphy gift to the store.
Manager Fang was also shocked silly upon seeing them and even when they had handed him the flower, he was still finding it hard to believe.
"Welcome, Young Master An, I'm sure my boss must be pleased that you were able to make it," Fang Mo said politely and the stepped aside for them to enter.
The second row of girls took over and led them over to their seats.
However, it didn't end there. Right after the An family came in, Mayor Bo, also stepped in with his wife in his arms.
"I hope we haven't come too late?" The middle aged man asked, his voice pleasant and friendly.
Even though Manager Fang felt like he was dreaming, he didn't show it as he nodded his head sideways.
"We have only just begun. This timing is perfect."
Mayor Bo gifted them a land deed.
"I can already tell that business would be good and help our City. You can consider this personal property of mine when you want to start a subsidiary branch."
Upon seeing the gift, the people at home watching on television and the ones viewing on their phones felt like they couldn't watch anymore.
Just who is the Master behind Lyfe?
